Today is one of those days in which we can make sure we are heard. Find/make the time to get out and vote. My views are evident, but if you agree with me or not, JUST VOTE!

I've been laid up for a week with kidney stones (NO the boulder still has not passed). I've had stones once before in my life, 14 yrs ago. I keep trying to remember what happened back then. How long after the pain moved there did it take till it was over? etc etc I just hope this passes and soon. Our already over stretched budget can not take me being off much longer. (FYI work told me not to come back till it was over. I tried on Friday and they were not amused by the yelps and moans during my constant bathroom runs.)
