Hummina...

You know, I did not realize that Election Day was Nov. 1. I'm so used to it being around the 7th/8th that I forgot about the Monday Halloween implications. Nuts. Now I really need to dig into that voter's pamphlet and read up on the ballot initiatives. :O (Redacted, because Destina reminded me that it's the second Tuesday in November, not the first

Unless you and I are living in alternate timelines (hey, anything is possible!), election day is November 8. *g*

Also, I loooove bad lip-reading videos. They make some things bearable that otherwise are really not.

Wait... SECOND Tuesday in November. Who is putting it out there that it's Nov 1st?

That is a huge relief, actually. Because, 17 ballot initiatives! Geez.

I've only seen a few of the bad lip-reading videos before, but these just cracked me up. Really, imagining the presidential debate as a poetry slam is hilarious on its own, and the pained looks on the moderators' faces is only improved by the idea that they are opening the gates to another... poem. Oh, god, another poem! Please let it be short. :D

I find the grocery in general to be boring. My hub won't use coupons or forgets them. We buy a lot cheaper if I go. Election humor is funny all around no matter who your voting for ( or against! ) LOL.

I think my husband finds the store boring, but he doesn't _hate_ it the way I do. My sister was saying that as a single mother, her daughters would call her on the phone and tell her they were out of milk (or something else), and that she needed to stop by the grocery store, and her internal reaction was always, "But I was just there last week."

I know exactly how she feels. :D

Grocery shopping doesn't bother me. Dodging the other people who are also shopping bothers me. Actually, that's what bothers me about shopping in general. Get. Out. Of. My. Way.

Send that rain eastward. We haven't seen any in a month and the lawn is crispy.

I think even if I were almost entirely alone in a grocery store, I would still hate doing it. After about 5-10 minutes, I'm thinking, "God, why is this TAKING so long?"

We were rainless for months, for the most part, and now we're getting excess rain. All of those buckets we're saving from the showers are really only pleasing the cat, though I suppose they could go out to the street sewer system (which flows to the river), rather than being re-sanitized like sewage and gray water.

Oh, for crying out loud-- my brain must really be on the fritz today.

You're right, it's Donald (*goes to edit*). Mike is the name of the character that actor plays on Homeland. :O

there's a tiny part of me that actually likes grocery shopping. that tiny part of me also likes wegman's, except the closest wegman's is half an hour away and that is waaaay too far to drive just for fun produce.

i love that your hatred of shopping seems to be genetic, tho. i mean, your mom hates it and apparently passed that hate down to her daughters.

i thought election day was always the first tuesday in november, which means it should be on the 1st this year. except it isn't. I AM CONFUSED. and i still can't believe you have SEVENTEEN ballot intiatives.

I mind stores like Fred Meyer's and Target less, because they have such a variety of stuff there. One-stop shopping, or pretty darn close! But the grocery part of it... ugh. When I was single, I used to sometimes shop during the week, because why ruin a weekend with a trip to the grocery store?

I can't keep the Election Day rule straight anymore, I just know that it once again falls on my nephew's birthday. He's in a "target-rich" part of November for that. :)
