How do they live in between???
I don't know. Unless they are going to grad school somewhere else and need to move and find a new job there?
I am not into today. I decided to pick up a pie to share with my coworkers (because Pi Day but I did not bake this weekend) so I also picked up breakfast (Nation's Burgers has pie and breakfast as well as burgers) so I was sick-to-my-stomach with hunger by the time I got to work and didn't order exactly what I wanted and didn't pick up butter to go on the pancakes and everything is already cold. And I have to work! Bah.
If we have to do this Daylight Savings bs (and I don't think we do, personally), we should at least wait until after the equinox. Shifting around daylight when it is less than half the day is ridic.
Ugh, Dana. So, hanging up instead of saying "anything else? You didn't help me with this!"
One of my HS besties was living and teaching in China, where they were paying her in renminbi (the people's currency so it couldn't be traded for US currency). She wanted a travel buddy, and how often would I get a chance to travel around China with someone who could both speak and read the language? So I went. And we came home via the Trans-Siberian railroad which was pretty cool too.
It was great, mostly because she was the perfect travel partner for it.
Ohio's primary is tomorrow, and I'm seeing a lot of chatter on my (EXTREMELY liberal) neighborhood's bulletin board about how people are planning to ask for a GOP ballot and vote for Kasich so Trump doesn't win Ohio. (Ohio has an open primary, so you can ask for any party's ballot.)
In my obsessive checking of 538.com, Kasich is predicted to win Ohio anyway, so I think I'm going to stick with a democratic ballot and vote for Clinton (though she's also predicted to win Ohio, and by a bigger margin than Kasich is predicted to win). Okay, mostly I just don't want to vote for a single GOP candidate, because they're all just greater or lesser horror shows, even Kasich. But I *think* Tim is planning to ask for a GOP ballot and vote for Kasich, even though he tends to vote democratic in the general election.
(Am I supposed to say all this online? Am I violating the sanctity of the voting booth? [When I was a kid, I would always ask my parents who they voted for, and, every time, they would answer that your vote is a secret and they couldn't tell me. Shifty jerks were probably voting for LaRouche or something.])
I think you get to decide what you say and don't say about your voting habits, as long as you're not actually saying it while at the polls.
My parents and I always talk about who we're voting for, but we're all the Leftys of the family so there's rarely disagreement of any substance.
Am I violating the sanctity of the voting booth?
You are! Although I think it's like HIPAA and it's not so much that you can't say how you vote as much as no one can demand you tell them. I always think of one of the episodes of Murphy Brown, probably the one where someone got in trouble for giving away free pie or something to people who voted, where the anchor said he didn't even tell his wife who he voted for. I am not actually that secretive, but I kinda lean that way in theory.
Yeah, I think it's less that your parents
couldn't
tell you, and more that they didn't
have
to.
