You know he's meeting another woman behind your back. He's also a big enough douche bag to continue to blatantly do it even after you said something. He's cheating on you. Pack his shit and toss it on the lawn.
I love ebates. Also, recently they emailed me saying my BIG FAT CHECK was for about $12 unless I wanted $13 in Amazon credit. Yes please.
I do this too. Ebates (along with swagbucks and to a lesser extent mypoints) keeps my amazon account fully stocked for when I want to buy random nonsense.

I voted this morning. We got there a bit before 9am and waited about 2 minutes in line. It was quick easy and uneventful. We have paper ballots, but do not have I voted stickers

I'm still deciding. If I were in a state with a close contest, I would be voting Obama without question, but MA is a Blue state and that gives me the ability to vote how I want without fear of it having a negative impact on how I ultimately want the election to turn out.
Currently, Obama is still on the table with Gary Johnson and Jill Stein. I think of the three Jill Stein will end up with my vote. There's a lot I like about Gary Johnson, but there are a few things I dislike and I swear I can't get a good handle on his abortion politics. Some places I'm reading say he supports bans post viability and others say after the first tri. I'm not a fan of any bans, but post viability is where most states have their cut offs and I don't see a libertarian going after states that allow for post viability abortions. I could feel ok about that. Anyone that wants to ban all abortions after the first tri I can't even being to feel ok about.

1. My MIL. Our relationship with G's parents is rapidly going downhill (again) and I'm not looking forward to repeating the hell that took place 9 years ago. Why can't she just be a nice person and not an angry beast?
2. How is it not 5:30 yet? Today is dragging it needs to shape up and get moving because I'm ready to leave
3. I want to go ice skating tonight (for the first time in 10ish years), but can't find anyone to go with me and G has a work F1 racing thing tonight.

We used to have a house that gave out bags of pennies. It was my favorite house when I was 6. If you want to be the favorite house, just hand them your money.
If you don't care about such things, I would go with Reese's, M&Ms and something sour/chewy
Top 3 - Tootsie Rolls, Peanut M&Ms, and SkittlesSourPatchKidsStarburstSwedishFish (What? They're all chewy)
Bottom 3 - Good n Plenty, Mary Janes, Whoppers
I'm with you on the fruity chewy stuff. I'm a sucker for skittles and starbursts. But you know what's hanging around as imposter tart fruity chewy goodness? Laffy taffy. I just choked down one of those thinking it was gonna be like an airhead. Nope. That shit is nasty.
Laffy Taffy is no Airhead. Airheads are one of my favorites and Laffy Taffy was on the short list for my bottom three
I dunno why the misgivings. I mean, it tastes like someone made a chili float with a scoop of pumpkin ice cream floating in it.
I used real pumpkin, fresh ground nutmeg and allspice. It's just all very ... viscerally pumpkinny
Add more paprika/chili powder/spice. There needs to be a balance between the pumpkin spices and the regular chili spices. I started off with too much of the pumpkin business going on and wasn't sure I was going to want to eat the chili until I played around with the spices and ended up with one of my favorites ever
this is how you can end up with someone winning the popular vote, but losing the presidential election (like gore).
That's the part I don't get. Why do we bother voting!?!
I know it's not as simplistic as that but this part baffles me.
I have a love hate relationship with the electoral college because of this. I understand it and in a lot of ways think the electoral college does help to even out the playing field a bit. That said, there's a reason why I could throw my vote to Hillary last election without worrying that my "throw away" vote would negatively affect Obama. I think it does leave some people feeling disenfranchised especially in states that are solidly red or blue.
Also, I get irrationally irritated at the fact that NH constantly has politicians coming to kiss their swing state ass and MA gets virtually nothing because we'll go blue even though we're significantly larger. I think there is a problem with the fact that swing states are pandered to so heavily and other states are avoided. Wasn't one of the many reasons the EC initially created was to help combat politicians only focusing on heavily populated areas?
I feel like either way someone is going to leave the polls feeling like their vote didn't matter enough to the totals or the politicians.
The one thing I do love oh so much about the electoral college, is that those polls are so much more fun to follow. www.electoral-vote.com/ *you should note that the barely Dem/Rep stats technically fall into statistical ties
