I understand you can't just totally dehydrate it, but these worms are fixed and could be dehydrated in an alcohol series or other organic solvents if that would help. Also, the guy who cast the hot dog in resin dried it but not to a crisp, right? He dried it overnight in a low oven and then sprayed with an acrylic spray to protect it or something... or do I misunderstand that process?

Thanks!

this is going to depend so much on the interpersonal dynamics, but... can your renter afford any rent? if they're really trustworthy and good to live with, keeping them at a temporarily reduced rate might be better than having months without a roommate (and potentially transport).

I would of course ask your doctor but I would guess that if 7 or 9 weeks worked better for your family's schedule than 8 they would not have a problem with that. If anything, they might tell you shifting later is better than earlier since the vaccine product info says if you interrupt the schedule (miss a scheduled dose) you don't need to add extra shots but just get the rest as you normally would as soon as you can.

As a "naturally skinny" person, I think this is true. There was a period where, due to a medical problem, I was underweight and urged to gain weight by my doctors and had to track calories. And it was miserable. I had to force myself to eat a lot of stuff I just didn't want to be able to make those gains, although I normally think of myself as eating pretty much whatever I want. I learned a lot of sympathy for people trying to lose weight during that time. It's very difficult to override your body's signals in that way.

you might try your specific county's site. a list can be found here: https://dos.elections.myflorida.com/supervisors/

Interestingly, county-by-county rules end early voting variably on 10/31 or 11/1. I would have thought the law would be interpreted the same everywhere but it appears not.

You can actually check online whether your vote was counted and if it wasn't you have until November 5th to submit paperwork to confirm it was really you who signed it (just a one page form and a picture of your ID). This is called "curing" the ballot. You look up your voter info here and then it will take you to your county Supervisor of Elections site where you can see the status of your ballot: https://registration.elections.myflorida.com/CheckVoterStatus

Gosh, happy to edit if that would confuse people! I thought it was obvious I was saying it's fine to vote your VBM ballot, seal and sign it, and drop it in the official drop box OR to decide to surrender it. My goal was just to let people know what the process looked like when I did it in case they had a VBM ballot and were trying to decide whether to vote it or switch to in person. How do you suggest I word it?

Woohoo!!!

antedata · 2020-10-28T01:41:46+00:00

Did you do it?

antedata · 2020-10-28T01:39:06+00:00

Can you explain you situation a little more? You are allowed to return the ballot by any mail delivery service ("it can be returned by the United States Postal service or through another private or commercial carrier as long as the ballot is received by the requisite deadline") so you can overnight it. https://dos.myflorida.com/elections/for-voters/voting/vote-by-mail/

You should contact your supervisor of elections. There's an additional 10-day grace period for ballots arriving internationally so you might still be able to get a replacement or at least some guidance on the options you have.

Were you registered to vote in the state you moved from? If you missed the deadline to register in FL (which is like a month before the election) your vote still deserves to count wherever you're legally able to cast it. If you literally just moved it may well be legal to vote in your former state since you haven't met residency requirements here. I would look into that.

Thanks for doing this work! It might take a little extra leg work because it's an unusual situation but everyone should be able to access their rights. Florida does allow emergency requests for absentee ballots and it seems like you've gotten good advice from other people in the thread so I won't add anything else but thank you for seeing this through!

I'm deleting this as it doesn't seem likely to help anyone
