*Except my mother, who never received hers because Canada Post lost it. Don't worry, she's going to vote if I have to sling her over my shoulder and drag her there herself. #abpoli

Everyone is panicking about this CBC article from 10/6 saying that about 430,000 special ballots have not been returned yet. But I am 100% sure that the "as of Wednesday" referred to is the previous Wed., 09/30. Everyone I know has returned their ballot already.* #abpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Yes, but then you don't get the banana leaves or corn husks. The consistency would be different. The whole point of tamales is to have a nice little steamed package. And now I'm hungry.

"Cup" tamale just seems wrong. I'll get the chicken enchilada with a side of Mexican beans & cheese, with a local beer.

Canada Post has lost my mother's Special Ballot for the referendum, and I'm really pissed about it. This whole thing has been an absolute shitshow. 🤬 #abpoli ##cdnpoli

If all else fails she can vote at the care home, they will have a polling station set up. But they suggested the special ballot for her because she is very deaf and it would take them forever to get her through 10 questions. Better if I sit down with her and take our time.

My ballot has been counted, but we haven't received mum's yet. Really hoping I get it today because I have to take it down to the care home and walk her through it.

Don't disturb me when I'm concentrating, Mother.
A black cat lounges in her human's lap. Her gaze is fixed on a crossword puzzle. She reaches out a paw to pick up a pen and fill in the last few clues. She's a genius!The same black cat is now looking accusingly at her human as her chain of thought has been interrupted. Be quiet, mother, I'm working here!

If your "news" website requires me to login with my email to get "free" access, that's a hard no from me. You don't get to market stuff to me if I don't get to sample your wares first. And I'm not signing up until I know you won't be selling my email to someone else.

I personally think that's a bit old to be sharing socks, but a) I don't have kids, and b) I really like socks and pick mine carefully. At 13+ I would think kids would want their clothing to be exclusive to them. And be responsible for their own laundry too.

Have you ever noticed that in the movies it is always the women who are the crazy stalkers? And those are often comedies. Occasionally the stalker is male, and it's a romcom where the woman eventually falls for him. In RL women are assaulted and killed by stalkers every day.
