That definitely helps. I have one of those now too, but don't need it for that. ๐

Ah, man, I guess the whole Northeast got smacked with snow this time. At least the MotW got you through a few hours. ๐ It's kind of fun to watch them, but a couple at a time are plenty.
24.02.2026 00:24 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Yep. I was thinking as I wrote that that I don't care if it was Obama or anyone else. Let the team have its moment. Not involved in hockey, hit the road.
23.02.2026 17:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeah, I don't really have a problem with the players (aside from Tkachuk putting the medal around Kash's neck). It's not like you can expect them to say "we're not celebrating with that guy here." But I have a big problem with Kash for horning in and with USA Hockey for allowing it.

At least they didn't hang one of their medals around his neck (although FIFA let him keep the real trophy). You'd think he scored the winning goal.๐

I need to seek it out. At the moment it's only playing at the AMC Lynnhaven way out at the other end of Virginia Beach and the AMC Hampton Towne Center over on the Peninsula. Both inconvenient and showtimes too late in the day for me. ๐
Hopefully it will pop up closer. Otherwise, streaming!
Hey, at least Canadians hate Gretzky now. ๐
You should be watching Perry Mason like I am and not letting these things bother you. Focus on the positive! Even though Tragg just walked into the office. ๐ฒ
Haven't been on Threads in months. I was just referring to Patel hanging out in the locker room and trying to hog attention for himself, just like Trump does. I wish they wouldn't let these people horn in. Not talking about the players at all (although several, such as the Tkachuks, are Trumpers).

Dear Hearts is merely OK, but Glenn Ford and Geraldine Page are always worth watching.
Have not seen Kokuho.
Anne of the Thousand Days. The main attraction is fine performances from the lead actors. Whenever it's on TCM, the guide describes it as "Henry VIII loses his head over Anne Boleyn and vice versa." That never fails to amuse me. ๐

๐ How did I make it political? I just responded to the post about Patel horning in by saying it's one of many reasons I root for Canada. I've been rooting for Canada for 40 years!
I watched some of this game, but I generally don't care for Olympic hockey. I get annoyed when the NHL shuts down. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Did you see where the official White House Twitter account sent out a trolling post with an image of what is apparently an American eagle attacking a Canadian goose? Our country is being run by petulant children. ๐

At least not until later in the draft. I've been known to grab backups who I thought fell inexplicably far before filling a need with a middling guy.
22.02.2026 01:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Outfield isn't terribly deep at the top. There's quite a drop off after the guys around Suzuki. But there are a lot of guys after that who are pretty much interchangeable. Most of the teams in this league can't match my first three.

๐ Well, on the bright side you have the Scream movie coming up next week and The Bride the week after that.
Yeah, Vientos was a hot property in drafts last year, so you weren't the only one he killed. Third base is particularly thin this year (even more so with Westburg going down).
If he's even close to two years ago, I'll be extremely happy even if his BA is bad.
Rengifo also has OF eligibility, which could come in handy since my only backup OF is Nootbaar, who seems to be injured half the time.
Aside from DeGrom (who I was surprised was still there at 72), I loaded up on hitters as long as I could and then drafted like 9 pitchers in a row starting in round 10. ๐ Was happy to get Bogaerts as my MI and I suppose I did OK with Beck and Friedl as my 4th and 5th OFs, considering. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

I think I'll try to drop Schanuel for Rengifo for position flexibility. It's a FAAB league, so you have to bid on every waiver move (of course you can bid $0).
Only 4 bench spots!
I drafted 13th (which I liked). I thought I did OK. It's a 2-catcher league with Saves+Holds. I didn't get in as much of a hurry for a catcher as some others and left the elite closers for others since holds count the same as saves. I'll do some tinkering at the bottom, although there's not much...โฌ๏ธ

I'm so abnormally excited to see this. I grew up with Elvis in the 60s (my mom was a big fan and I have all her original LPs). Those dopey Elvis movies are my comfort food, movie-wise. When I saw the trailer I knew it would be for me. Glad y'all enjoyed it.

Dang. Glad you were able to get past it enough to get out (even to a crappy movie).
Hopefully Psycho Killer will be so bad it's good -- but it sure doesn't sound like it. ๐
Just finished that 420 player deep draft. Only took an hour and 45 minutes! Not bad. Hopefully I didn't screw it up too much.
