    Got my stoat in on Halloween! My sticker is with the duck on the dashboard of my car.

    I am nauseously optimistic (like the cats, apparently). Keeping my fingers crossed.

      lol nauseously optimistic is right

      I’m staring down the thrice-delayed release date of code I just CANNOT get working. I’m losing my friggin mind.

        I can’t take credit; came across it in a comment on a facebook post (which I really should stop reading for my own mental health but it’s hard to pull yourself away…hopefully once the election is over I can focus on other things ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป).

      Airport rules apply today! Eat whatever you want–no calories. Buy whatever you want on impulse–it’s basically free. IOW do whatever you need to get through the day. I’m stopping for ice cream on my way home, to nibble in front of the fire while I watch the last disc of Parks & Recreation.

        “Airport rules”! I love it! So appropriate.

        To cope, I bought a lovely plant I did not need, and told the cashier I was indulging with plants, cuddly dogs and cats, plushies, Key lime pie, escapist TV (“The Ark”, aka, Discount “Star Trek”!), and a modest amount of alcohol. My only concern if the vote goes the way I want it to (yay, equal rights!) is that my sweet neighbor will remember our pact to have a naked, champagne-fueled sprint around the neighborhood in celebration. That oath seems like something you might forget, right?

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys and hoping for the best! Go vote!

    I especially like this photo!๐Ÿ˜‚

    Off to park in the school lot and wait for the voting line to get short! Canโ€™t stand long. My sister has MS and had to wait in line 2 hours yesterday! They did have occasional chairs, but that is just unacceptable. I hate that Indiana is a state where you canโ€™t mail in your vote๐Ÿ™

      Sounds like she could use one of these:

      My cats voted to stay in bed where its warm today. I wish that I could accept that popular vote

      • 6rabbits November 5, 2024 / 1:22 pm

        Iโ€™ve seen these and wonder how well they work?

    • DEBG November 5, 2024 / 9:58 am

      Agreed–unacceptable. Good luck!

      • 6rabbits November 5, 2024 / 1:24 pm

        THERE WAS NO LINE๐Ÿ˜ณ!
        Unbelievable! Took me 10 minutes! I totally lucked out! Obviously the time to vote early
        is at the *beginning* of October.๐Ÿ™„

    • allein ๐Ÿพ November 5, 2024 / 10:39 am

      My parents just got back from voting and said there was no line. When I voted on Halloween I had to wait a couple minutes to check in and then another few for a machine to be free. Hope you don’t have to wait too long.

      Aw, we just get boring flag stickers. We’re the Garden State; they should do something prettier.

    • 6rabbits November 5, 2024 / 1:28 pm

      I didnโ€™t get a sticker! But thatโ€™s Indiana for you๐Ÿ™„

  6. DEBG November 5, 2024 / 9:59 am

    Pretty sure I need to get some stickers for my cats. They’ve been shedding like crazy with the cold. Plus they’re probably picking up my stress.

  7. N. Fritz November 5, 2024 / 10:15 am

    I hope this is just a fluke, but the ads I’m getting on this post are all about moving to Canada…

    • allein ๐Ÿพ November 5, 2024 / 10:28 am

      I just have ads for Temu featuring t-shirts.

    • Kar November 5, 2024 / 10:37 am

      Or a contingency plans

  8. Sowmya November 5, 2024 / 10:46 am

    Best of luck, USA-ians!
    The cats send their most hopeful and comforting purrs, as everyone here in Canada (and no doubt in the whole world!) takes a giant cleansing breath and hopes for peace and stabilityโ€ฆ
    May the Stoats be with you.

    To my southern neighbours: you are aggressively in my prayers today.

    • 6rabbits November 5, 2024 / 1:28 pm

      Thank you!

    I voted via mail a few weeks ago so I have instituted a news blackout for today. Hopefully when I wake up tomorrow, the nightmare has ended. If I think about this situation for too long I start getting panic attacks. I got to remember “just breath”, and try to have faith that people have seen behind the curtain, and don’t like what they see. Thankfully we have this site with lots of cute animals to help with the stress. Plus if it all goes wrong, I may be seeing Duckie sooner than later. Thank you Mom for the Canadian citizenship!

    • Kar November 5, 2024 / 12:37 pm

      I feel the same for you. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

  11. Kar November 5, 2024 / 12:39 pm

    Uh, I wouldn’t be too sure about those speeding tickets

  12. tara November 5, 2024 / 1:45 pm

    Thank you all for being here! Thank you for all your best wishes, your “aggressive prayers,” and just helping us all keep our minds on other things today.

  13. AJ November 5, 2024 / 6:30 pm

    I am starting have my faith in mankind semi-restored. I work at a university and my building is a voting center. Since about 10 or 11 am, there have been lines out the door and most of the people voting are students. Fingers crossed this is a good sign. Yeah Democracy!?
