An Election Month

Re: An Election Month
 

Today is the day! Don't forget to VOTE!!!

I voted in my very 1st election in the state of Virginia.

November is.... yet the ending of another year that our sweet God has blessed us with, and we shall be thankful :)

Re: Re: An Election Month
 

I wanted to tell yall about my voting escapade yesterday. Ok, I went to the church that I voted at in the past two elections. I get there, I see no flags. I'm like, ok, where the flags at? Then I notice there's only one car, but it was like 5:30pm, so I figured it was slow. Get to the door: locked. I'm like, ok, what do I do now? So I drive around the corner to an elementary school. I figured, I can always vote at a school. I get there, and it is EMPTY!!! The only people that were there were the 4 people working the polls. Why when I walked in, they cheered? LOL I tell them what happened at my normal voting poll, and they were like, "oh you were at the church? Then you're in the right place now." They look for me in the list, not there. I'm like, ok, where do I go? So this man takes me to a wall where theres a map with only a SELECT FEW streets and tells me to find where I live. Ok, I'm not good with maps. I have to sit them on a desk and turn them so I know which direction is which and everything. I felt so pressured, lol. I finally find where I'm at on the map, and he tells me where to go vote. So I get BACK in Sparkle, and off we go. I get to the street, passed right by where I was supposed to vote, because it was in a Senior Citizen Residence Center (;)). I finally get in there and I was in the right place. I ain't get back home until 6:30. Now, can you even believe that? The lady at the poll said that EVERYONE who came in had the same story. Why didn't they send out something in the mail to tell me that my poll had changed??? I was like, I guess that would be too much like right. The first thing I thought of was Dade County. :rolleyes:

Ideal,

That is absolutely rediculous but a wonderful way to disenfranchise an entire neighborhood. I wold report that experience to your board of electors, local paper AND local tv stattion.

Re: Re: Re: Re: An Election Month
 

I agree. Some people probably would have given up and just went back home from the church. Not everyone will be like you and those of us here and try to find your pollling place. I would definitely take Kimmie's advice. They need to know. A letter to the editor of your newspaper is a good alternative if no reporters wants to take time with your story.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: An Election Month
 

I told my boyfriend the same thing last night. I was like, now who, other than the select few of us, was riding around trying to vote?? It's hard enough to get people out to the polls in the first place. I STILL can't believe the one school I went to was EMPTY. :shakingmyhead:

I'm going to take your guys' advice. I had no idea where to even begin. I'm about to surf the 'net for addresses and stuff.

BTW, CONGRATS DreamfulOne. I remember my first vote, I felt SO grown, lol.

REMINDER! Tomorrow Night...MJ!
 

to the top, just a reminder!

:D

Soror, I appreciate all your helpful information but.....

why come you had to put Jenny Lo on that list? She can't sing! We all just need to watch Michael and call it a day....

It's strictly FYI for those who want to watch. Being able to Sing is a matter of opinion. I'm sure there could be some who feel that MJJ can't sing and J. Lo can. :confused:

I presented the information my local newspaper included in its entertainment section. If you watch, you watch, if you don't, you don't.

I won't be at home tomorrow night or whenever J.Lo comes on, sooooooooo....

It is...........
 

MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

My birthday is Thanksgiving this year, if I have not said it before (but I am sure I have:D )


Happy birthday to all of the November babies..

Happy Birthday!


:D

Bayou Classic

Is it televised this year? If so, NBC.

:D

*ahem*
 

Yes it WILL be televised!! NBC signed a contract for 3 more years too.

Hey regulatah, how do you feel about them moving to either Texas or Orlando? The contract is up this year right?

By the way.....I was searchin for November Birfdays and the only one that's coming up soon besides MINE:p ;) is


Ms.SportsLuva on November 21! Happy Birfday!!!

Re: *ahem*
 

Girl, that has been a rumor for yearrrrrrrrrrrsssssssssss. The BC will most def. stay here in tha Boot. It has been a tradition even when folks went to North Louisiana every other year and then down to South Louisiana the next year. Back then, it was the Gram/Southern Game, not the BC.

All GSU/SUnites were in LA for 4, 5,6 or how many years obtaining a degree, why in the world would we want to take "OUR baby" elsewhere?

That chit is gonna stay right chere, especially as long as you all continue to spend $300 a night on a hotel room. (that's too crazy!)

This isn't Essence Fest. Now they need to move that chit there.

OUCH!!!
 

Remember to get your flu shouts, I mean, shots! I got mine yesterday. Yes, I did a small shout.

Thanks for ringing it back to my rememrance

[B]National Adoption Month



Thank you for the website address. It is funny that you would mention this. I saw a flyer in church the other day, about November being National Adoption Month. I don't know where I've been, but I am quite sure someones else on the forum didn't know as well. I was interested in adopting a child, but I needed some direction.

Thank you again:eek:
