Yesterday marketed my 9 month ActiveRain anniversary. In 9 months I have amassed 186,000 points! That's over 20,000 points per month. It has put me to the top of the ActiveRain membership who have joined this year (see picture below).

It has been a fun ride. I have met lots of great people and learned quite a bit here in the Rain.

Today I celebrate 9 months!

As most of you know, I worked the polls at the election here in Cromwell, CT this past Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009. The new selectman was the biggest question, along with who would be filling the positions of the Board of Selectman. There are 6 seats on the Board of Selectman here in town... and there were 11 people running for this position. When you voted you could only choose up to 4 people. This was stated on the top of the form and was overwhelming for some people. There were four on the Republican Ticket, four on the Democratic Ticket and three on the Petioning Line to choose from.

At the end of the evening, when everything was tallied, there was only a 9 vote difference for the sixth place position on the board with Allan Spotts being the foreseen winner over Frank Emanulele Jr. However when the count is that close, a recount must occur and this was a unofficial result. The recount was held today at the townhall today from 10:00am until 4:00pm. I volunteered along with other members of town to manually retabulate the results if necessary.... there were over 3,000 ballots in all to go through in all.

At the end of the day Allan Spotts still won by 6 votes over Frank Emanulele Jr. instead of 9. But here is the kicker. Six ballots could NOT be counted because they were filled in incorrectly... anywhere from 5 to 7 candidates choosen on each one. Therefore NOT knowing which 4 the voter truly intended on voting for, the ballot was not counted. Frank Emanulele was on just about each one of them.. and they were NOT tabulated. This could have made the total votes for the sixth place position a tie if the ballot was filled in correctly in the first place.

Moral of story.. it pays to read the directions, otherwise it could cost you more than you think.

Why cant blondes tell knock knock jokes? Because, they always leave to answer the door...

Two blondes were driving along a road by a wheat field when they saw a blonde in the middle of the field rowing a row boat.


The driver blonde turned to her friend and said "You know - it's blondes like that that give us a bad name!"


To this, the other blonde replies "I know it, and if I knew how to swim, I'd go out there and drown her."
