Went to university with a lady named (I kid you not): April May June
According to her, her parents thought it would be “fun”.
I would guess she is about 50-60 years old now.
Or Cancun (heard that from someone named Ted).
I agree (and realize) that a simple holiday wouldn’t fix the many ills of our “election system”. Just thought it would help. I’ve heard that England has at least a week to vote [hope that’s true]. Anything that would make it easier and more convenient to vote would be a great help (not suggesting making the process less secure).
That sounds great!
The reasons I was given for first Tuesday in November are:
The idea behind #1 is that it should be harder to bribe you if you have recently been paid. The reason behind #2 is that you will be sober when you vote.
Also, in my state at least, alcohol sales are prohibited while the polls are open for voting.
I’m guessing you might be from Canada (Hello up there friend)!
Because certain groups in power are total pieces of @#$_&-+/!
Which States Ban Giving Food and Water to Voters at Polling Places?
Elections in the US didn’t used to be so controversial, but in the last 10 years certain groups/parties have been crying foul (baselessly I might add) about illegal voting.
You are supposed to be able to go to the polling place on election day and vote. There are limited voting hours (generally about 12 hours), it is not a national holiday (should be), your employer does not have to give you time to vote (paid or not). You might be able to vote via postal mail (but it varies by state what “valid reasons are” to do that).
The US really needs election reform nation wide.
In historic times, people knew horses were land animals. So, I expect we will see this invention in about two more weeks.
I’ve been trying to remember all the little folks since I’ve become so fabulously wealthy, but it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. /s
I’ll let them know that (in case it ever becomes relevant).
They are a wonderful partner and I would never leave them for something so minor. It’s just a thing I can’t quite wrap my head around - I’m sure I have things about myself that they don’t get either. It’s not a big deal to either of us.
If I have a nickel for everytime someone said “The cloud never goes down”.
I’d have a lot of nickels and would spend my time doing something I like a lot more than working 🤑.
Tried that many times (to no avail).
We are both university grads and know how math works. They just can’t get past the psychological barrier of “the bill will be higher when we check out”.
Can’t get my partner to do this. They are too worried about “saving money/we don’t need it (now)”. For heavens sake, I’m not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!
While there may be “No stupid questions”, there are many, many “Stupid answers”.
You don’t want to know others memories; including those of your ancestors. Not photographically at least.
I’m so glad you were able to see the light and thank you for having the courage to put it out there for others to see.
The most difficult faults to see and change are our own.
Can’t fire him; you have to keep the best and the brightest on your team! /s
Yeah, stole them; that’s what happened here. They obviously didn’t drive them away. /s
Shakes fist at TSA.
