So, here's the deal. I want you to vote yes or no. That's it, no further explanation will ever be offered, but I will abide by your decision, as reflected by votes received before my arbitrary deadline of 8 PM Thursday.
Voting is your responsibility and priviledge as a citizen of the blogosphere. Think carefully, and vote your conscience.
Polls are now closed, stay tuned for official results, um, later.

Yes. How could you pass up an opportunity like that ?
Posted by Heather | August 23, 2006 8:32 PM
Sure, why not...you only live once.
Posted by Jenn | August 23, 2006 8:32 PM
Nah.
Posted by Jen | August 23, 2006 8:36 PM
Absolutely yes! It must be something you want, otherwise you'd have no trouble saying "no" all on your own.

No way. Play it safe. Who says change is good? Everything is fine the way it is.

Yes! Absinitely, posolutely, and desitively! Best blog I've read all day :)
Posted by Not Benjamin | August 23, 2006 9:17 PM
The answer is obviously yes, unless it's a resounding no. Which, considering the information I'm voting on, is probably the clearest vote I can give you!

Yes
Posted by wordgirl | August 23, 2006 9:33 PM
Yes. I think yes. It's something you really, secretly want, but are afraid to jump into for some reason. All you need is a hearty "YES!" to push you into the goodness. So I'm pushin'

A great big YES if you are treating yourself to something or baby planning.
Hope it works out for you either way.

Posted by kim | August 23, 2006 11:57 PM
Okay, is the hosting site erasing posts again? I have no idea what's going on and I check in at least twice a day. I hate not knowing what's going ON...

Yes.
Posted by Carolyn | August 24, 2006 8:22 AM
I don't make uninformed votes. Just like I won't vote for a candidate about whom I know absolutely nothing, I will not vote here because I have no clue what the hell I've voting for.
So there! :P

Posted by Cassandra | August 24, 2006 9:02 AM
My family has always used the phrase "change is never good" as a big fat sarcastic joke.
Yes. Of course.
Posted by karamarie | August 24, 2006 9:16 AM
Almost everyone else is saying YES. Which is what I was going to say until almost everyone else said it.
But because I am obnoxious and contrary (hey look! I made it about me!), I say NO!
Posted by s@bd | August 24, 2006 9:21 AM

Posted by suze | August 24, 2006 9:33 AM
Yes!
Posted by Carrster | August 24, 2006 9:43 AM

Posted by Polichick | August 24, 2006 11:37 AM

Posted by Krush | August 24, 2006 11:46 AM

Posted by Vaguely Urban | August 24, 2006 12:09 PM
I'm voting Yes, but since my vote results in a hanging chad, it's not a valid vote.
Posted by Corinne | August 24, 2006 12:10 PM
nope, no way, no...
Posted by monique | August 24, 2006 12:22 PM

Yes, totally.
Posted by Annie | August 24, 2006 1:31 PM
Wait, you aren't going to try to influence my vote in any way? Manipulate my emotions so I'll vote "yes"? Promise some sort of monetary "break" down the line if I just vote "no"?
I don't think I feel comfortable with this, so I'm going to go ahead and write in "Mia."
Posted by erin | August 24, 2006 1:31 PM
Yes! Why not? Everybody else is doing it, right?

Posted by Manda | August 24, 2006 4:49 PM
Wait a minute...did you just push the deadline back by three hours? You'll make us wait that much longer to find out what we're voting for?! In that case, I retract my vote.
:)
Posted by Melanie | August 24, 2006 4:50 PM
I just re-red your post...we'll never find out, eh? Bummer.
I'm doing my part to contribute to the most comments you've ever received on a post, though!

Posted by Kellie | August 24, 2006 5:44 PM
Since my vote was a hanging chad, will there be a recount? Or will this be decided by the Supreme Court Justices (Mia and Chris), denying us our democratically elected answer?? If there's a re-count, I'd like to punch the hell out of my chad, and vote yes again.
Posted by Corinne | August 24, 2006 5:56 PM
