Yea... what ever happened to the "return to sender" button anyway? Most of the people at this voting center never even made it to the table to be checked in as registered voters before giving up and leaving while muttering a few comments just low enough they could not be understood... We will give it another try before going home. I understand that those that voted at our County Court House, just across the street from where I work, had no difficulties. There are enough serious items on the ballot this year that I really want to make sure I get to vote. I am looking forward to the news tomorrow to see how the votes came in.
I'm a day late but I just wanted to reassure jtrbug that Leslie is still an Austinite. I saw him outside the gates at the ACL festival a few weeks ago. (Sorry, he doesn't get to be called "her" until he shaves off his beard.)
Meanwhile, I'm on my way to the polls right now to vote for Kinky.
My husband reminded me that about 8 months ago, a fellow Austinite in Atlanta sent us an email that had a picture of Leslie and the caption was something like "Former Austinite Leslie entertains shoppers on the square" and we think it was from a Savanah newspaper. Anyway, if Leslie is still an Austin tradition it's a comforting thought! I got my Threadgills fix but didn't make it to 6th a few weeks ago...next trip. Please be sure and update tomorrow on the results of "Kinky Vote 2006!"
This thread may not be dead but at least the election is! We only stood in line about 40 minutes to vote. The morning news reports that some of the precincts in this area actually ran out of ballots and they had to make them up on the spot. Well.... from what I have seen of the results this morning 'bout all I can say is... at least the CARD's won the series.
No, I'm lamenting the fact that my mailbox is going to feel so empty now that all the political advertisements are gone...my mailbox is going to feel quite abandoned.
Paul, while I appreciate the offer, I will respectfully decline - saving paper and all that environmental mumbo jumbo. But what a great trick to play on someone...maybe that will be my revenge on annoying employees from now on.
A member of our management team learned first hand how very annoying this can be. We had a disgruntled employee (or we think we finally narrowed it down to this individual), who decided to send our Director of Operations all sorts of things thru the mail. She received Religions information from all types of sources, magazine subscriptions, figurines, Lenox pieces, angels of many nationalities, just about anything that has a pull out card in a magazine. When she started to be billed for the magazine subscriptions things got out of hand. She did retreive copies of the forms that had been filled out for these orders and someone had forged her signature perfectly. The post office has gotten involved, but things slowed down and eventually stopped arriving. Yes - this is a very effective way of getting revenge...Can drive you almost as crazy as all of the political stuff that has finally stopped coming!
Since you didn't want to move on to #3 after 100 posts, I can't imagine why you all went quiet today. So, just to show that I am a good sport and always willing to do my part...it is now alive for one more day.
I took my six year old to the pediatrician yesterday for recurring headaches. Ultimately, they decided his sinuses are all icky and the pressure is causing headaches.
BUT......
While she was examining him, she found in his ear a neon green bebe. I have no idea how long that bebe has in been in there. It was embedded behind a big glob of wax, so I think it had been there quite a while.
What have you found in YOUR children's ears or noses? Or your OWN ears/noses, if you wanna go there...
I had an ee once that swallowed the pop top from a can of soda, we had to send him to emergency for xray. Never got a straight answer from him as to how or why! Knowing this ee though, it was not an accident, just a stupid human trick. Anyway, it all worked out in the end!
He told me he put it there "a long time ago". We discussed not putting things in our ears and nose.
My husband has one of those guns which is kept out of reach, but I occasionally find BB's on the floor.
I told Michael's school principal about it this morning, and she said her son stuck a green plastic army guy up his nose - she could only see the feet. That child must have meant business, getting that thing all the way up there. It had to have hurt going IN, let alone coming OUT. xflash

Allright, you guys from MO - looks like the happiness of our nation depends on the voters from the Show Me State! So do something good, okay?

reminds you that Austin has a sense of humor.
Whirlwind - another Kinkster on the forum? Woo hoo! Vote Kinky - Why the hell not?
months ago, a fellow Austinite in
Atlanta sent us an email that had
a picture of Leslie and the caption
was something like "Former Austinite
Leslie entertains shoppers on the
square" and we think it was from a
Savanah newspaper. Anyway, if Leslie
is still an Austin tradition it's a
comforting thought! I got my Threadgills
fix but didn't make it to 6th a few weeks

"I'm 61 years old, which means
I'm too young for Medicare and
too old for women to care."
Don't ask me what that has to
do with being a good governor,
but I'm willing to find out. Like
you (and Kinky) said, "Why the hell
not?"
x:D, :DD, x:D, :DD, xclap, x:DD
Who could have seen THAT coming?
Go get'em forumites!

Those BBs belong to "airsoft" guns which are pretty popular. Its a good thing you found it.
Any idea how it got in there?
