    Richards out, Tortorella in

    Was watching the Minni game last night. Torts looked like a kitty cat. I'm sure that will change, but for now, he looks calm and relaxed.

    Nope. No ties here. I only buy shootouts. (haven't really bought a tie anyway) The person below me has been camping lately.

    Olympia memories

    My uncle used to usher at the Olympia after he came home from WWII. My grandparents' neighbour was in charge of that and would call my uncle when he needed an extra person. John would do it for extra money. Unfortunately I never got to hear his stories as he passed away at age 19. My dad was only 6 at the time. My aunt remembers that he once ushered at a hockey game and had what my aunt referred to as a "delightful" conversation with Henry Ford.

  5. Darn! I was really hoping Manila Envelope would be back by now, but I guess those injuries take time to heal. Go Wings! Score goals!

    I do. I did more when I smoked, but I still like the fresh air. I shut them in the wintertime because it gets cold and I don't want to heat the outdoors. The person below me dresses up for Halloween.

    Truly can not stand them. The sound of their voices annoys me. The person below me likes white grape/peach juice.

    The person below me game...

    I've had 9 pierces in my ears and never use them any more, so no more of those. I've thought of a tat, but I have so many other things I'd rather spend the money on. I did my own piercings but no way I'll do my own tattoo. The person below me does not buy Halloween candy in advance.

  15. If someone is fat, they should still get to use the cart at walmart without people assuming that there is nothing wrong with them and that they're just lazy. Fat people have disabilities too.

    Cleary NOT reporting to Grand Rapids

    This is what Maltby did a number of years ago. Get a contract. If it works out and he outplays the kids, then that's fine. He deserves to be on the team. If not, he retires and that's that. Everyone was mad at Malts for hanging around until he retired. Then everyone got some clarity and said, "Hey. He was just giving it another shot." and all was well. I don't blame Cleary or Holland. In Holland's case, it was a win-win. If Cleary REALLY outplayed the kids (as if) he's be icing the best team possible. If Cleary didn't, then he'd either have a great guy in GR or he could let him go in peace. In either case, giving the kids a little more competition never hurts, and they got the benefit of Cleary's teaching while he was there. Remember that game when he and Larkin were on the bench after their shift? Larkin was intent on what Cleary was explaining to him. Since Cleary didn't play during the season, it didn't cost the Wings a dime. In Cleary's case, it was a chance. It was one more training camp. One more pre-season. One more time hearing the roar of the crowds and feeling the comradery in the locker room. One last hurrah before skating off into the sunset. I wish him well. I will always remember him as the Guy Who Almost Lost an Eye Fighting Chris Elbowf*** Pronger.
  17. It completely blows my mind that the medical community wants you to get all sorts of tests and treatments for something that doesn't bother you at all because it might give you a 1% chance of getting cancer in the next 20 years. When you tell them that you're not interested because you're saving your HSA to try to get treatment for something that bothers you every minute of your life and has already cost you a ton of money and a job, they don't understand why you think that is more important than their recommended treatments. Then when you tell them you probably won't be around in 20 years, nor do you want to be because of the thing you actually want treated, they just pat you on the arm and assure you that you'll be around and go on with their sales pitch. One thing I love about the internet: appointments can be cancelled with a touch of the finger without talking to anyone.

    Habs forward Zach Kassian injured in car accident

    It said he was a passenger in the vehicle. How does an accident where one is a passenger give cause for suspension? Or did I miss something?

    Model Tries to Blackmail Jagr

    If you meet a model, make sure you don't let her take her phone to bed. Imagine how mortified you'd be if your picture was all over the internet in bed with a model.
