This will probably seem like a really random poll, but there's a reason. I'm looking for names. I come to you all for help.

To help, I'll answer them right here to give an idea of what I'm looking for.

Male Name: Hughes, Wesley
Female Name: Jennifer, Julie, Amy, Heather

[Poll #513441]

ETA: *squees* Theodore! Okay, that one is seriously in the running here. I've got all my characters in my head, and I've been waiting for that one name to jump out and grab me. Theodore jumped up and is making moves.

Well...that sucks.

They didn't have the sense to give us suspense (not that there was any, I'd seen the numbers). They straight up announced that Jeffy won against Ellyut and right now voting has commenced between Junior and Jeffy.

NASCAR's Sexiest Driver Poll

Go vote for Junior. *cough*

Do they listen?

My own mother doesn't listen to me.

1. She wants to know where she can find a template for a trifold brochure. *bangs head on desk* Which I will end up doing.

2. She wants her website completely overhauled with a new look and multiple pages. I TOLD her that I would need a month to do it all. And that she needed to outline everything she wanted, write all copy, meet with me to discuss what's possible...and she just emailed because she has everything together and wants it live by July 7th at the latest. *cries*

3. Mom thought she was having a heart attack last week. The Red Cross workers next door urged her to go to the hospital. She was already going to a doctor Monday, so she postponed, because she felt better. Except the Monday doctor? The gynecologist. She's "in the process" of switching primary providers, which could take weeks. I'm threatening already; she's not allowed to be difficult about medical things until she's much older. I know I'm going to be the one to deal with her, so she has to behave NOW. (My dad is either being helpful with the nagging or not. I'm not sure.)

Can I trade in my mother for a new one?

For Trade: 53 years old, stubborn, smart, formiddable when riled, good cook, great ally.
