'Shindig'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
and I said, "doing anything good?" which let her say YES!!!
That's a fantastic way to ask and it allows them to give whatever details (or not) that they wish. I'd respond well to it and I don't like 'not friend' people asking for too many deets.
My first vote was on one of those! Very satisfying.
Me too! Our house was a polling place (it was vey small town back then) so I 'voted' a lot as a child. For every candidate. I loved punching the little chads.
Even so, I'd like to cast my absentee ballot and then be put into a drug-induced coma until after the election.
I feel this so hard.
trying hard to duck (say) Rita Moreno's phone calls.
Yeah, she's another one I'm not ready for. That "Heyyyyy you guyyyyyyys" from The Electric Company is literally one of my first childhood memories.
Man, The Electric Company was amazing
The literal first one that I'm sure wasn't my being told over and over was Archie and Edith singing--they weren't good, and they sort of remind me of my dad's parents. And, yeah, I watched a lot of EC. Death may be my gift, but I don't have some inside info about Ms. Moreno(she was SO good on the "One Day" reboot!)
She really was
Bring back the old fashioned lever machines and more people will enjoy voting. (ka-CHUNK!)
When I was a kid, my dad used to bring me with him to vote, and those machines fascinated me. I was so disappointed when they didn't have them by the time I was old enough to vote.
ION, it's now week three of classes, and my classroom still doesn't have that chair.
I think MA already had scantron by the time I was old enough to vote, but luckily I was in PA where they had the good machines! Despite how satisfying the ka-chunk is, I do think the paper ballots are the best.

This. Though I agree that hand-marked paper ballots are best, at least from a voter fraud perspective.
That's right, no one even mentioned clafoutis and I'm here. Hi, everyone!
I guess I'm here to spread more anecdotal positivity. Just got off the phone with my college roommate and her husband. He stated he is definitely voting for Harris as are many of his friends and colleagues. A lot of "What is even going on with this party anymore?" kind of talk happening. That is definitely a change. He's never been a fan of Trump but I'm pretty sure he's never voted Dem before. As some of you know, most of my friends from college are conservative (well, "old-school" Republicans anyways), including his college roommate (and my former friend), who worked in Trump's WH. They live in Washington so their vote doesn't particularly matter but I found the way he talked about it very encouraging.
