I think she knows you are working more because everything is fucked up now and you need Extra Catting. We all need that.

Bottom line: they should have given you that track scholarship.

My father was diagnosed with a heart murmur which restricted some of his activities growing up. When he was drafted, the army said "we don't care, you're in". Ended up at Camp (now Fort) Carson in Colorado, and did some technical mountain training. Made it to 92 and never had a heart attack.

They're just cannon fodder to him. He doesn't give a shit.

It's all fun and games until the flag draped coffins arrive at Dover AFB. Not that he gives a shit.

I'll have to tell you about the time a mouse died in my snow boot. I found it in the toe of the boot when I put my foot in. Unsure of the nature of the object, I put my hand in the boot and discovered the mushy remains.

Did it get away from you cat and then die there?

I have mine, as I travel internationally. For those unaware, you need one to go to Canada, too. That was implemented several years ago. Guess I'll just have to remember to take it to the polls, too.

Younger people with job skills that are in demand in foreign countries often have an easier time relocating than older retired people of average means. Yes, wealthier people can go anywhere, but that's always been the case.

The Republicans gerrymandered the hell out of the map to ensure they kept their districts, and a lot of Grothman's constituents would vote for an empty beer keg as long as it had an R next to it. Johnson won by 1% in his last election, probably because too many voters stayed home.

Well, since the Leafs are 12th in the Eastern Conference with him, they probably wouldn't be much worse without him...

One would think the head coach would have a better handle on the injury status of his best player, but whatever.

Yes, ever since he gave it to Rush Limbaugh.

I've noticed that too with hotel lighting, and I figure they have lower wattage bulbs to save on electricity costs.

Same, or I'd be throwing things at the TV and replacing it is not in my budget.

I'm not watching, but I assume it's his usual stream of consciousness garbage?

Worth noting that some of the men's Olympic hockey team did not go to the White House.

Caufield's father is a native of Ontario, amd a former minor league hockey player, and his mother is a teacher. Cole attended the same public high school as former NHL player Joe Pavelski. Don't know the family's politics, but probably not rich anyway.

There's something bad about these presidents with non consecutive second terms...

And you'll be stuck in that position for the next 14 hours or so.

Terrific game, goalies on both sides were unreal. Thought I'd never see the U.S. Men win gold again, and now both the men and the women's team have in the same Olympics.

Having seen the North Atlantic from Iceland, IMO no. I certainly wouldn't want to be on it.
