In your hands

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.

Posted by: Emily at August 23, 2006 08:17 PM

double hell no - absolutely not - not even a freaking chance I'd go for that. My vote? NO!

Posted by: incredimom at August 23, 2006 08:31 PM

Yes. How could you pass up an opportunity like that ?

Posted by: Heather at August 23, 2006 08:32 PM

Sure, why not...you only live once.

Posted by: Jenn at August 23, 2006 08:32 PM

Nah.

Posted by: Jen at August 23, 2006 08:36 PM

Absolutely yes! It must be something you want, otherwise you'd have no trouble saying "no" all on your own.

Posted by: Katrina at August 23, 2006 08:41 PM

yes!

Posted by: Heather at August 23, 2006 08:55 PM

YES Beth, you should let us in on your "how to have a stork bring you an abnormally cute baby"" secret . . . your too-flat-to-be-true post-baby belly has given you away! *grin*

Posted by: Betti at August 23, 2006 08:59 PM

Yes. Always yes.

It'll always grow back.

Posted by: ku nkiko at August 23, 2006 09:04 PM

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

Posted by: Em at August 23, 2006 09:07 PM

Absolutely. He's hot and he's a pediatrician. Chris will just have to learn the power of forgiveness.

Posted by: RSM at August 23, 2006 09:14 PM

Yes

Posted by: jodiferous at August 23, 2006 09:16 PM

Yes! Absinitely, posolutely, and desitively! Best blog I've read all day :)

Posted by: Not Benjamin at August 23, 2006 09:17 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!

Posted by: Heather at August 23, 2006 09:25 PM

nope

Posted by: valerie at August 23, 2006 09:26 PM

Yes

Posted by: wordgirl at August 23, 2006 09:33 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'

Amy :)

Posted by: Amy at August 23, 2006 09:54 PM

No. Not everything you want is good for you.

Posted by: Judy at August 23, 2006 09:56 PM

Posted by: Sheryl at August 23, 2006 10:54 PM

Let's see...

No!!! If the vote is for cutting your hair.

A great big YES if you are treating yourself to something or baby planning.

Hope it works out for you either way.

Posted by: donut at August 23, 2006 11:09 PM

Hell to the yes! You owe it to yourself. To your family. To HUMANITY. You don't want to disappoint humanity, do you?

Posted by: Frema at August 23, 2006 11:13 PM

The magic 8 ball says... Yes, most definitely!

Posted by: kim at 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...

So, I vote...yes? Unless you're leaving us, and then it's a big fat NO.

Posted by: samantha at August 23, 2006 11:59 PM

Posted by: Sarah at August 24, 2006 08:02 AM

crap. Where's my conscience now? Always hanging around and bugging me when I don't want it, but now that I'm supposed to use it, it's nowhere to be found. Stupid conscience! It usualy says no, so I'm voting yes out of spite.

Posted by: ktjrdn at August 24, 2006 08:21 AM

I flipped a coin- yes it is!

Posted by: Lisa at August 24, 2006 08:21 AM

ah what the heck, YES, now let us in on what we're voting for, cause obviously we're all suckers for answering a non exsistent question.

Posted by: Jodie at August 24, 2006 08:22 AM

Yes.

Posted by: Carolyn at August 24, 2006 08:22 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: lori at August 24, 2006 08:30 AM

Make it so.

Posted by: ben at August 24, 2006 08:58 AM

A definate yes. Always positive.

Posted by: Frank at August 24, 2006 09:00 AM

Yes, please. Unless the question is, "Should I dismantle this site and only blog at the 'Diary of a Playgroup Droupout' site," in which case the answer is no.

Posted by: Cassandra at August 24, 2006 09:02 AM

My family has always used the phrase "change is never good" as a big fat sarcastic joke.

Yes. Of course.

Posted by: karamarie at August 24, 2006 09:16 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 at August 24, 2006 09:21 AM

Yes. Always better to try and fail, then never try at all. :)

Posted by: Traci at August 24, 2006 09:24 AM

Sure why not? Now I wonder what I've committed you to.

Posted by: ann adams at August 24, 2006 09:27 AM

Posted by: Stephanie at August 24, 2006 09:29 AM

Yes!

Posted by: Dee at August 24, 2006 09:31 AM

Posted by: suze at August 24, 2006 09:33 AM

Yes!

Posted by: Carrster at August 24, 2006 09:43 AM

I'm going with no. Only because so many others voted yes. :) (Yes, I usually vote "third party" in elections.)

Posted by: kim at August 24, 2006 09:47 AM

Yes. Your country needs you.

Posted by: Katy at August 24, 2006 09:52 AM

Posted by: R*belle at August 24, 2006 11:36 AM

Yes.

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

Yes. It's better to regret doing something than wonder "what if" for the rest of your life.

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

Yes is more adventurous.

Posted by: Helen at August 24, 2006 11:59 AM

Posted by: Vaguely Urban at 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 at August 24, 2006 12:10 PM

nope, no way, no...

Posted by: monique at August 24, 2006 12:22 PM

Holy crap! Look at the turnout for your election! Or..whatever it is.

My vote? Yes. Of course you should do it/see it/clobber it/eat it/buy it/sell it/kick it/hug it.

Posted by: shelley at August 24, 2006 01:28 PM

Yes, totally.

Posted by: Annie at August 24, 2006 01:31 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 at August 24, 2006 01:31 PM

Yes! Why not? Everybody else is doing it, right?

Posted by: morethanamom at August 24, 2006 01:33 PM

(vote stays YES)

Posted by: jessica at August 24, 2006 02:25 PM

No way! It's just too risky. And by "risky", I clearly mean "Yes, go for it"!

I hope that's clear.

Posted by: Buzz at August 24, 2006 02:31 PM

HECK YEAH!

Posted by: Amy at August 24, 2006 02:52 PM

I'm usually a negative person, I'm a glass half empty kind of gal. But for you, I feel I should be positive so I'm going to give it a shot and offer you a...half assed, yeah. Ok. Yes. :)

Posted by: Kate at August 24, 2006 02:55 PM

YES!!!

Posted by: Adi at August 24, 2006 03:23 PM

Posted by: Inga at August 24, 2006 04:47 PM

No write-ins?! that stinks.
Well, I hope it's something you really wanted to do, because so far, it looks like the Internet Has Spoken. ;)

Posted by: Manda at August 24, 2006 04:49 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 at August 24, 2006 04:50 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: Melanie at August 24, 2006 04:52 PM

Is it 8 o'clock, yet?

Posted by: Rick at August 24, 2006 05:05 PM

Since I'm no negative-nancy, I vote yes.

Posted by: dawn at August 24, 2006 05:19 PM

Well, she didn't mention the Time Zone her 8pm would fall into.

*cof*

I vote yes

Posted by: Kellie at August 24, 2006 05:44 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 at August 24, 2006 05:56 PM

Yes. Of course, yes. Always, yes. Especially if you were wondering if you should make out with me.

Posted by: Ms. Q at August 24, 2006 05:59 PM

Yes, sure, why not!

Posted by: JJ at August 24, 2006 06:11 PM
