I remembered...

What, you might so boldly ask? The most important thing that has to do with the election and if you don't have it, you allow others to decide the fate of a nation without your input. Have I got you wondering? I sure hope so. Why, it's the ability to vote! So I went online and put in the information required at our County site to have sent to our home an absentee ballot for my husband and myself, and guess what? We don't exist. So I found the phone number also on the site and I called them directly. I suppose I forget that with hubby being retired law enforcement there is a privacy act of some sort that kicks in so no one will know our party affiliations. Or anything else about us apparently; whoops, I suppose if they ever tracked me and this blog boy I would have a lot of explaining to do, ha! And so after I spoke to the lovely person on the other end of the line we are having our absentee ballots mailed to our home by the end of this week. It's not like we can't wait on a line like the rest of the country; oh yes it is, but like too many who have health issues we cannot... And the whole world should be out for this one, and that wait will most likely be very, very long, I hope. The fact of the matter is Hubby is going to say that I am using that too much again, i.e. the fact of the matter is, but we both cannot stand and sit in the heat for too long. It makes life a little easier, especially with the fact that rumor has it the ballot is going to be like four pages long. And it's most important to know the candidates and what they've said recently, even the ones running on a local level. This way if we need to know more we can Google their names and perhaps let us know more about them. Of course, there's also the possibility that the information is bogus or not completely accurate. The best way to get a better perspective is to look at several sites of that person’s information. Oh, in case you're wondering of course we’re registered voters! That's why the woman told me what the problem was exactly that Hubby was protected therefore so am I. I suppose that is a good thing. But for years we had an unpublished phone number and recently allowed them to publish it and we had a block on our house phone number, which we also removed. I don't know if we need to be so paranoid, but I suppose anonymity is a good thing. Hubby, after all, did arrest bad people for nearly a dozen years. Being so open here I sure hope it is not putting us in any sort of jeopardy; as exciting as that may sound to some, it scares the bejeebers out of me. What a scaredy-cat I've become. We have the storm brewing surrounding our home and also making me uneasy and so allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy good night and ask you kindly to count all your blessings and share all your overages and we will too! And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
