Done :)
Voted about two weeks ago.
Our whole state (Oregon) votes mail in, on paper ballots (which can't be hacked and makes recounts hacking-proof).

...sure ok.. ;).....paper/mail can get lost easily....plus..ahem....it's put in the computer when it's received to be counted....hope there's no 'hanging chads'... ;D
Vote on a computer here but we can get a paper copy of our vote if we want.

Never heard of any getting lost.
No chads, its fill in the oval with ink.
Can always be recounted by hand if necessary
Also:
no time pressure to make decisions when filling out the ballot
can easily use any lists or other information you might want to consult

And Floriduh still can't get it right. What is it with Broward and Palm Beach? Broward's SOE destroyed ballots after the last election. She was brought up on charges IIRC. Still has her job though. And it seems they "found" a bunch of ballots now. One time she let out the count on mail-ins a half hour before the polls closed. Illegal.
They really seem to earn the "duh" part down there.
Panhandle hat was devastated by Michael did a better job with the count.

Hey 'G', good to see you again.... :)
..yes, it seems much of the southern states have a special way of counting ballots...been doing it for years and no one has done a freak'n thing about it....go figure huh
More like south Floriduh has a special way. Corruption is rampant there it seems.
I check in every so often. Just this fall I took in July has taken a lot from me.

I hope that you feel better soon.....again, nice to see you pop in..don't be a stranger ya hear... ;)
I had no idea that you'd been ill. One day you were simply no longer posting. Keep getting well and post more. I look forward for both things.

In all honesty Liz I just lost interest in forums for a while. Haven't really been on any of them. Just got bored guess. I check in here even if I don't sign in just to see how you all are doing. Still doing fish and looking to expand to just over 100 tanks. Was hoping to have that done by the end of December then get my permitting in Florida.
I was walking out to put some ribs on my Weber. I had left the cover on the floor. It's a dome with a handle. My left foot caught that handle. I saw the mower coming towards my head and said "Oh Shit!" to no one but myself. I hit the mower with my forehead. My nose hit the ground. So basically I was bleeding out of my nose and mouth and eating dirt. (I don't recommend eating dirt. In fact I don't recommend any of this ever.)
I assessed the situation. (Never lost consciousness) Can't feel, or move, my legs. My arms and shoulders in excruciating pain. Can't move them however and they are below my body along with the bowl with the ribs and tongs. (Thank God I didn't bring a knife out like I normally do.) I am on my stomach. I can't breath well on my stomach because my phrenic nerve on the right side is paralyzed. And I can't move. So I was just lifting my head up every time to get a breath.
Said out loud "So this is how it ends."
God had other ideas however.
Screamed "Help!" for a while. I am on an acre. No one hears you. Not even in the house.
Finally I heard the screen door open so I yelled out "Cil, call 911 I need an ambulance"
"What happened?"
"I fell. I can't get up."
She gets all flustered so I have to tell her the house numbers.
Long story a bit less long I made my septum an accordion.
Something is going on with my nerves. Constant tingling feeling.
And I found out that Fentynal and Morphine do not take my pain away. I am resistant to opioids it seems. A bit worried about the septum surgery and pain management on the 21st truth be told.

..well that really sucks....wow..I'm so sorry to hear about the injuries.... but heads up...I'm betting the 'doc's' will patch you up good....keep us updated please...
Eh Jon, I have learned to just deal with what you have to and don't fret on it too long. It is what it is. I am not going to let it stop me from enjoying my son that is for sure.
That little sucker knows so much about the stars and cosmos it is amazing. (He's now 9 10 in May)
Thinking about getting him a decent telescope if I can afford it.
All he ever seems to talk about are neutrino stars, black holes, white dwarfs, quasi-stars etc. Wish he'd start talking about physics. At least there I can answer his questions.
Holy moly, you sure have be through it. All that because of tripping over the lid from the grill. It's too weird.
I'm glad that you're back with us and have plans for the fish room. Your son sounds amazing. Best of luck for the best outcome possible.

..is there an astronomy club at his school ?...
No he's only in 4th grade. I doubt any of his friends are at the level he is in astronomy and astrophysics.
Helps he is a great mathmetician.
And his current report card is all A's but one. A B in writing.
And he loves snails. And rocks. He knows more rock than I ever did. He is destined for something in the sciences I think. I may be raising a kid with an IQ higher than my own. And that will get him into trouble if I don't feed it well enough. Caused me a lot of trouble as a teen in high school.
