  literally, a text message to my husband from one of his "friends".

  he also wrote, "it's in her hands.

  it's her move now.

  Trashed WT's found in Dr.s' waiting room Friday. Do you trash literature you find?

  took the magazines in the waiting room and dumped them in the trash.

  was a great feeling.

  to think many witnoids wont dare throw out the surplus magazines they have in stacks around the house is amazing.

  i'm just bored.

  i'm currently (right now) running a mic up and down the aisles, recognising the faulty logic, one line platitudes, and indoctrination techniques.

  i like posting while on active duty.

  I was a poll worker

  i worked the election yesterday, here in california, poll worker, from 6 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. it was fun and interesting, went pretty smoothly, nice day.

  it was very depressing to come home, look at the news, and find that the republicans now control the senate.. .

  do you think canada would take me?

  You're right, Talesin. It's a good thing to do, and fun. I have to look around for some other thing like that to do. Elections don't come along very often! I was a Precinct Inspector this time, my second time being an inspector. All that means is that I organize the folks in my precinct team and try to solve problems. I feel quite inadequate, as a matter of fact, but I did tell them I'd do whatever was needed and that was what they needed.

  Words that irritate

  i have words that irritate me and not always without reason.. my latest hate is the word: 'solutions' as used by so many businesses in their title these days.

  y'know, 'something innane business solutions' and such balderdash.. i loathe that word now.

  arrrrggghhhhhh!

  ah, punkofnice, I'm with you! I detest businesses that include the word concept in their names. Watchamacallit Concepts. I refuse to buy from any business that uses the word concept as a name. Argh.

  I'm glad it's working out for you -- not a terrific fight, just facing reality. Your children may not understand, but in the long run they'll be better off.

  If Republicans think people should be rewarded for their hard work, why not raise the minimum wage?

  I vote Libertarian, as it happens. I think Republicans are greedy corporate scum who live off the masses. I think Democrats aren't much different. I think Americans are stupid to constantly bitch about oppression and then vote for the oppressors.

  I disagree slightly with the Libertarians -- I do think we need a safety net for our poorest citizens and for children. I'm a peacenik and always have been.

  Well, I'm disappointed, to say the least.

  Poll worker -- $9.00/hr. 16-hour day. Lots of fun. Nice paycheck when it comes in a couple of weeks.

  Plus, the polling place was a church. Take that, wtbts!
