Our Fishman, Who art in rhombus,
W00kie be thy name.
These hippies come With guitar and drum
On tour as it is in Gamehendge.
Give this day our daily toke
And forgive us our WSP stats
As we forgive spreadheads that come to our Phish shows.
Lead us not into the Biscuits
And deliver us from Umphrey's

::points at pants'd GM thread; in best Nelson voice:: HA HA!

Good morning, .net. About time for me to go to bed.

"Would you say it's time to panic?" "Yes, I would, Ken."

Good Monday morning to you .netters
My prediction for the election is that the meme thread will 699.

GM.N I thought I was late this morning because I saw the sun starting to come out. Doh. I am lucky were I vote its a town of 4500 so there are no lines.

Still dark here. Sleeping patterns all buggered up...well, just woke up an hour before my alarm, that sucks enough.
I'm looking forward to a week of utter hellish work. Getting shut out of the .net there. I guess it's back to leaning my Kindle against my cpu discreetly.
Hope everyone is healthy and safe.
Love.

I vote at my son's school which is in our neighborhood 5 houses down my street! A very convenient 5 minute walk. I didn't vote early so hopefully my location works to my advantage.

I'm in the middle of a separation; I'm having to leave my amazing neighborhood with the school I've been walking my son to everyday from kindergarden to second grade. I don't have family nor any outside help. Too many mixed emotions and thoughts resonate through my mind daily.

@dave25 Sorry about my stupid period thread.

Hang in there, @twisty_m !

Our polling place is only a couple of blocks away as well. Early voting was huge here in MD. Lines were up to 5 hours long at some places. I'm hoping that means less hassle tomorrow.

::inhales deeply::

Wake up and smell the democracy!

When did early voting start? I don't remember hearing about it other then absentee ballots.

Here in MD it started on Halloween and finished on Friday. Would've started on the 29th had there not been a hurricane.

Did early voting happen 10 years ago? I dont remember it.

Begin rant

How can these blowhards argue that legalizing Medical Marijuana will make it more regularly available "on the streets?" Do they really not realize how readily available it already is? What a joke.

Gm.net. There is ute overload happening at my house as our friends that are staying with us had a frenchie named Milton. Who is sO cute he has the power to melt mr.slices non animal hating heart.

We vOte at school that is a 5 minute bike ride from our house. This is my first presidential election where I will vote in new York, only changed m official address to NYC 3 years ago.

Good luck voting everyone and may the best candidate win!

It doesn't matter who you vote for...just have a clear priority list for your riotous post-election looting spree...

The neon Green Lantern sign in the window of the comic book store tops my list.

Anybody in North Jersey feel the 2.0 earthquake this morning?

Sandy, Earthquake* -> Nor'easter

*featuring Gov. Chris Christie on glokenspiel made out of the bones of local TV reporters

What's Prop 3 in MA?

Here in MD, we're poised to legalize both gambling (Prop 7) and gay marriage (Prop 6).

Vice and equality. God bless America.

almost time for democracy. Can't exactly say I am all super jacked up for it but w/e it will have to do until I have something to be more excited about.

Morning all.
I'll go to the polls tomorrow. Wife voted early. She doesn't like going down there in person.

My friends and relatives in NJ who generally think Christie is pretty much ridiculous are giving him an A+ in how he's handling this debacle so far. "We are...Jersey Strong."

DERP.....that where am I going thread got the wheels spinning again. There is major contemplation about whether I should try to go back to school and go for a few classes in the marketing world. Does that make a difference at 35 who knows? Debt is a major consideration and having debt and no potentials seems like a bad move. But the DERP is in full swing.

Good Morning everyone.

Derptastic week ahead of me here at work. I am looking forward to the election being over, regardless of the outcome.

Morning all.

Morning everyone!

I just want the election to be over.

I cannot wait until next weekend....football without political ads.

My brother is down in NOLA since Friday for a bachelor's party. Going to the Eagles/Saints game tonight. He's right in that age group where there's a wedding almost every other week.

Weddings/bachelor's parties really seem to be getting more and more expensive.

@birmy - you could probably do a couple classes at community college without racking up too much debt, no?

I understand your concerns. I'd have a hard time committing a lot of money to further education at this point without the significant prospects of a payout on the other end. Where I'm at now, with my undergrad degree and the experience and references I have, a masters of arts in anything really doesnt get me shit. Maybe like a masters of science in economics to refine quantitative skills, I could see doing that. If there was a job as an economic analyst for like $20K more than I'm making now hanging for the easy pickings.

But def for something broad like "marketing" check out CCs - not too expensive, and you can get conversant and more knowledgable about what that universe is.

If you want to do something concrete, learn how to code. php is one that I'm hearing, I'm sure there are others. But there are companies up here that literally cant hire fast enough right now.
