Cuz if I'd cheered against them, Dad'd have backhanded me and I'd have gotten no supper. Same with the Lions. Now it's in my blood.

I'm a Donny/Marie mix. I was more rock, but as I get older, I tend to go more country. Ann Landers or Dear Abby?

Oops. The person above me is a wonderful person who has gotten us back on track. Love Loo! The person below me has been to Boise.

Both have their advantages. Since I'm so far away, I'll keep the attending thing as a once-in-a-while treat. If you wake up early: Go back to sleep or just go ahead and get up?

Not even NHL 13 can do that.

Just win. Please. With sugar on it. And a cherry on top. I'll have my uniform ready to change into. Every time that I have to go to work in the middle of a game, the Wings always start winning after I leave. I'm not sure if they can smell a ruse, but it's worth a shot.

I prefer they sit. Leisure suits or leg warmers?

Are you flippin' serious? You are NOT allowed to see Rob for a week or until you get your senses back, whichever is longer. Friggin' men waltzing in and leading our sweet, innocent little girls astray... Hockey. Peanut butter, jelly, or both?

Found it! 8.3 Blood – A player who is bleeding or who has visible blood on his equipment or body shall be ruled off the ice at the next stoppage of play. Such player shall not be permitted to return to play until the bleeding has been stopped and the cut or abrasion covered (if necessary). It is required that any affected equipment and/or uniform be properly decontaminated or exchanged.

I'm too scared of the implications of losing this game to pick a final score, or even a winner. However, I will predict that for reasons unknown to everyone, Chuck Kobasew (angered because the uniform people accidentally reversed the digits on his uniform) will lay into Justin Abdelkader, who will object. As the two battle, Emmerton will be drawn by magnetic karma to Matt Hunwick, who will then turtle as Emmy beats him to a pulp. Giggy or Varlamov (whoever's in goal) will rush out to help, but will be clotheslined by Nyquist. Jimmy will come out of his crease and meet Giggy or Varlamov in an epic battle at center ice. Hopefully Emmy will score a goal in overtime to win the game, but I'm not betting on it. Yep. I think they bring extras, but I recall recently that Tootoo removed his jersey in the penalty box so as not to bleed on it after a fight and they commented on how smart that was. Blood is now considered hazardous waste.

It's 3:47 pm here and I just woke up. I'm not going to have a problem staying awake tonight. However, I'll be spending the night at work, so it's kind of required. The person below me needs their tires rotated soon.

Nachos, but only with cheese and maybe some meat and none of that other crap. Mixed drinks or straight shots?

Jason Hanson retires. I was a big fan of Murray, so it took me a long time to warm up to this kid, but I sure did. I just wish that he'd have told the team that he wanted one more year, and that they'd have all pulled together to "win it for Jason" and maybe gotten to the second round of the playoffs before being ousted. You know, just to give him a big send-off. Here's a link to an article: http://www.freep.com/article/20130404/SPORTS01/130404049/-Lions-Jason-Hanson-retires-after-21-years-It-s-time- Best wishes to him and his family in the future, where ever it may take them, and thanks for giving us some thread of hope to cling to all these years.

I'm glad the whole trade deadline thing is over. I realize that this is a business and that they're well-compensated, but the whole concept of trading human beings just doesn't set well with me. Now that they can all focus on the team and games ahead, on to the playoffs! Each team scores one goal for each fan. Wings win eleventy zillion to one. The Yotes thank Mrs. Doan for her support.

We like our team! Jagr or Lemieux?

Not at all. I trust my mommy and my hamster. Oh, and my teddy bear. Although... I don't tell my mom everything. She has a tendency to bring things up at awkward moments. The person below me is getting crabbier as they get older.

I do both if I'm cooking. I clean as I go and then there's not much left afterwards. If it's a meal with family, I do the cleaning afterwards. I can't stand other people in the kitchen with me, and it makes everyone happy if I say I'll do the cleaning all by myself if they get things ready for the meal. Honesty or little white lie?

Had a nice time with my mother and sister over Easter. That's about it. Then it was back to life; back to reality. The person below me has won a prize.

This just in: FLA and COL trade: Zanon's beard for Parros' mustache.

Wings win. Don't know how, but Wings win. More Z please. Get well soon.

I don't own a facebook, but I do love to text. Chicken: Fried or baked?

What is it with the Wings and kids scoring on them?

Awesome as always. Thanks!

Seriously? No Hank? April Fool's is tomorrow.

I forgot that I was leaving town an wouldn't be back until the second an my rent is due the first. Of course, I remembered that April 1st is Darren McCarty's birthday and the anniversary of the Roy/Osgood fight, but I didn't remember that my rent was due. (No worries, it isn't actually due until the 3rd, but we get a $5 discount for paying on or before the 1st, and I've only missed it once in almost 17 years.) The person below me is eating candy.
