Catching up on the hockey I've missed over the past couple days and OMG this #Sabres #Lightning game is the most insane thing I've seen all season. I don't have a dog in this fight so I am loving it. Get em fellas

Not jealous, I hate ice. We are getting slow, fluffy snow flakes in Iowa today 🌨️

I wanna thank this shithead right here for picking one of the most stressful times of my life to make a great escape. Luckily Steve McQueen here chickened out after about 15 minutes in the wild kingdom and showed up shaking at the back door. I love you, Merry, but you're a dick #CatsOfBluesky

My mom's hospice guidebook has a section for caregivers on what to do in case of nuclear fallout and I started to chuckle a bit until I remembered the *gestures about vaguely*

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected β€” young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! β€” and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

We're about 13 minutes into the second and the Hawks don't have a shot on goal during the period?!

To be fair, I found some that were more like $10K, but further outside the Des Moines metro. This one is a few blocks from my office. It's all outrageous

Well this makes the $13.5K monthly rent worth it (yes that is what a skilled nursing facility costs in the US)
I hate US healthcare, I hate cancer, I hate dementia...

Whelp this day sure had a plot twist. My mom is at the end of her life and starting hospice care. My son said goodbye to her today, just in case she doesn't see tomorrow. BUT the nursing home gets CHSN so I am giving a MASTERCLASS in disassociation rn (she is not alert, I'm not ignoring her promise)

Realized too late we conditioned the baby for it but not the dog, who thought he was being starved to death and abandoned

Shout-out to the men (plural) I saw yesterday wearing cowboy hats, belt buckles, and boots. I never felt more safe from a stampedin herd of cattle through the Costco of West Des Moines. Howdy.

Lol not "I'll believe in anything" at the Hand Kings game.

Yeah I'll believe in anything except the idea that the men running the NHL are allies.

Well the bad news is you got Corey Perry but at least the good news is you're gonna underperform in the playoffs.
