That may happen regardless of the outcome. I am, however, looking forward to ending this.

On a different note: 4.5 days of work left for my very pregnant wife. "If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy"... She's very uncomfortable. 17 days until the new fun begins. The new baby will be a welcome relief.

Mailbox has been barraged with postcards and flyers of unflattering pics of politicians. Will be happy that noise will close out for a while.

I don't think it ends.

One player is a drama queen who will reject any result that isn't the "right" one and maybe turn the place into the Las Vegas strip if he gets the job. Who knows?

The other has a chance to be indicted for misappropriation of funds or something from their foundation before the coronation as queen of the next american dynasty.

Either way - we will be electing the oldest person to ever hold the office and it's a choice between the two most unpopular candidates in history. Maybe the real job of voters is take a better look at the VP candidates in case age related health issues or a guy with 3 names and a rifle come into play.

... and maybe move some of your market assets into liquid cash.

I will not comment on the highest election, which will almost certainly lock this thread (I mean really FIGURE IT OUT PEOPLE IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT!!!!!)

I very much look forward to ALL of the commercials and mailing to end!!! In general, they are almost entirely worthless. You CANNOT trust ANYTHING they say, and can be pretty much guarantee that they will always be deceptive!

Note: California has a pretty wacky Proposition system, which may make the non-person voting a bit crazier then other states. There are a LOT of propositions on this one!!!

My general guidelines on these things are:

  • By default, vote NO
  • Whomever has the most commercials, vote against that.

This is SOOO exciting!!!

On Tuesday, will we achieve a historic milestone.

For the first time in the history of the United States, we will have a sitting president that has slept with a previous president (that we know about).

OR

For the first time in the history of the United States, a white billionaire will move out of his penthouse to move into government assisted housing recently vacated by a black family.

I think we can all agree that we are tired of this election. New lows and all that.

I wish out political system could un-berk itself.

In before the lock. One of the VP candidates is a true believer in and proponent of "gay conversion therapy" where young people are utterly destroyed and run about a 40-50% suicide rate. That seems like a good enough reason to keep him far from federal office.

My "fear" is the barrage of Facebook posts I'll be subjected to the day after. I suspect there'll be a lot of gloating and whining regardless of who comes out on top. FB needs a political filter badly, or I'll be using the "unfollow" button liberally. I'm tired of this nonsense.

Maybe. But be careful what you wish for.

I'm more concerned about that happening if we don't reset and start over.

^Funniest thing I have ever read.

Baby = welcome relief!

My advice: Take naps now. You wont ever get to again for at least a decade!

Forget about pooping comfortably also. When the baby is around and momma is busy, No poops for you!

Lots of little things that you don't even think about.

However, the love and joy that the little one brings is not measureable.
