I should have leftovers for supper -- or cook something -- but instead I really want a pizza.

Been a good day. Did some random shopping and found some good buys.

Not given out candy yet in this neighborhood (I really should next year) but there's normally quite a few little goblins running about. Turnout depends on how quickly the evening gets cold.

Sounds good - leftovers are always better the second day - we had chilli and crackers for supper.

We do Rick. The big problem is I am a type II diabetic.  Is tough to behave with a whole bag of Reese Cups in the kitchen calling my name!

Freeze them - we do that so you really want one if you have to wait until they thaw. Or next year buy the mini ones so you can have your candy and still keep your diabetics in checked.

I had the quickest vote ever.  We had just 2 issues in my sector: a school board election and a financial trustee appointment with literally 1 guy running lol

we had some bond issues, and a couple of amendments regarding taxes. Texas has no state income tax and one issue was to add that.

we've taken them with us many times when we voted, so it was just kinda natural tonight. She sat at one of the tables and read through the sample ballot. the ladies at the check in tables made a big deal out of it being her first time, and same for another young lady a few minutes later

we had new ones as well, Phil had a hard time reading the screen, they had it magnified as much as possible, but it wasn't horrible for him

No elections for us. Ours was back in February.

Kudos for your kids, miss molly. I firmly believe everyone that is eligable to vote, should.

The comment about no Texas state tax had me thinking, does Canada have a province tax? Or just like the same tax everyone pays all over canda like our federal tax.  (though our Fed tax rates vary.....does Canadian? Or is it a flat tax?) 

 

I know.  I should Google.

We pay provincial and federal taxes. Income tax is a percentage of your income based on how much you make. We pay federal and provincial sales taxes also.

Happy day .. it is raining and snowing.. a fecking mess already...

it's humid & still here now, but we've already probably hit our high temps for the day.

really liking the daily motivation today, thanks

Thunderstorms here have stopped - the light rain/snow mix should stop this morning as the wind chill drops.  We'll get warmer for Sunday then plummet again on Monday.

Week off has been relaxing so far. Tonight may be a bit rough.
