I think there are some male hockey fans that are surprised that there are women who know hockey.

No one is shoving anything down anyone’s throat. It’s a flag. No one is asking you to fly it. They’re just asking you, for one month, to not lose your shit every time you see it. Gay men and women in this country have been beaten and killed. They’ve been shunned by their own family. They’ve been called “sick” and “disordered.” All because of who they love. You can’t handle looking at a flag for 30 days?

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share. “Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count. First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you. Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would. Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands. Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick. Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you. The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”

Since Mike Johnson says members of Congress don't make enough money with just their salaries, may I suggest: - Dialing back on those streaming subscriptions - Reducing your cell phone plan - Taking public transportation - Eating cheaper cuts of meat - Eating in more often - Turning off the lights when you're not in the room - Getting a part-time job at Walmart - Growing a f-cking spine and stop whining Signed, Everyone trying to eke out a living in your shitty economy

Let me get this straight. Trump supports love to carry their guns. But, if they have a gun within a mile radius of Trump, it is considered another “assignation” attempt?

Gov. Walz: We just found out Trump had his branded Bibles printed in China. This dude will even outsource God. But hey, I don’t blame Trump for not noticing the ‘Made in China’ sticker. They put them on the inside, a part of the Bible that he’s never looked at

I am not a fan of the names above the players on the ice. I find it distracting.

Every time I read about someone’s animal dying, I feel like I’ve been punched in the gut. I feel so bad for them because I know how much it sucks. :(
