You win some, and if you're good enough, you learn some. Failure is refusing to learn. I'm pretty eclectic in what I enjoy and share. I'm a user experience researcher, a kahu to our ferrets, a fan of the Tampa Bay Lightning, among other things. (she/her)

This is brilliant news! Happy that you are seeing results and finding relief. Still sending all positive energy your way! πŸŽ‰

I’m feeling a touch of despair at how out of sorts they are. Sigh.

Thank you, @alexisb82.bsky.social, for continuing to use your powers for good. ⚑️

She has spoken, Bolts. Get. It. Together!

Last because Dangle transitions to full Joker after how the Leafs have tortured him?

Ah, I was right. The Bolts DO struggle against the Wild, particularly in their house. It’s weird that teams can just have this bad vibe in places for years and many different players.

So no for that comeback. Sigh.

Onwards and hope they can figure things out the next game.

Hockey gods hating and messing with their heads.

I seem to recall that Minneapolis is not a barn that is kind to the Lightning. They don't have a good record there if my recall is correct.

I was about to summon @alexisb82.bsky.social, Speaker to Crows, to work her magic when that goal went in finally.

I'm returning to despairing of ever seeing a win again. Hockey gods be hatin'.

Shots on goal are encouraging. Just keep bearing down, lads. #GoBolts

🀞 Wishing you strength until they pass and outcomes that make it all worthwhile.

Fair, reasonable, and still an epic bargain for great insights. Keep up the good work. I'm happy to continue to support your work.

Ouch! My treatment plan had a drug with a little risk of that, but I was lucky to avoid anything more than some aches right after treatment. I hope that your body can adjust if that is possible with that drug. 🀞

As long as I live, I have no idea how anyone does this. The idea of recalling to this level of detail... Stammer's one of the greatest who's played, so I'm glad he remembers every reason why that's true.

Great point about the detection abilities. I've only been glared at for my antifa huzzah frog shirt that a friend gave me. I just smiled.

I have a rainbow shirt with "human." in large white letters that I particularly love as well.

I just saw a comment by an author I follow and trust that he dropped out of community college. So, exactly the kind of "education" that this regime seeks right now. Which is to say little to none. People are so much more tractable that way. 😑

It navigated all the topics pretty well. So many ways it could have gone off the rails. The hug at the very end was nice to see.

Stiff, but I'll give them props for what look like real smiles and a willingness to jump in. They are having fun poking a bit of fun at themselves. All is not forgiven, but it's better than most of their teammates showed.

I'm stunned the Cooper pulled a goalie. I hope it was just one of those brain-fart games that do happen where Vasy bounces back big next time. And the rest of the team sorting themselves out with some practice would be quite welcome. 🀞

Welp, I guess I'll go with Go Crunch! At least one team in the organization won.

Insult and injury. Ugh! I hope he and Gonzo are just a bit shook and not out. Probably too optimistic, but I'm hoping anyway. 🀞

Even still, I'm not blaming you. They have to get their heads back into NHL game mode.

Sending you good energy. I hope the symptoms are as mild as possible. Chemo's such a rough journey, but I hope you get to a better place soon.

Seemed like I had almost as much anti-nausea drugs as I had chemo drugs. So I wasn't sick, but I hated food.

Although I believe it was Point, but Pooooinnnter just doesn't have the same ring. 😜

Kuuuuuuch!

Sorry. We are often on the same side... but not tonight.

Oh-kay. I think I'm going to stop watching hockey now. I'm pretty sure I have work to do that will be more fun.
