glowing_dragon: (Vancouver Canucks hockey!)
The Canucks played Calgary tonight at 7, and lost 6-2, including an empty-netter... the first time we've lost four games in a row since November 10! I banned Richard C. Wilson for laughing at my official admin warning telling him to type with proper spelling and punctuation in the Fearsome Canucks Fans Facebook group.


My friend Shiwa made me an actual channel in his Discord server just now. I assume this is a joke channel and will be deleted summarily, so here's a screenshot for posterity.




From Julie and Anorak UK: Spruce Springclean and carpet cleaning?! Pump N Munch?!




From Julie: ENJOY CELERY: NATURE'S TOOTHBRUSH FOR YOUR COLON?! A Devil Chef Health Tip! Nature's Toothbrush! Fiber-Rich! Packed with Vitamins! Ribbed For Extra Pleasure! Ooh lala!

After COFFEE TIME, a German Shaw technician came by at 11:35 AM with a replacement cable box / new PVR box / new remote control / new modem / advice. (calling my HOME number 15 minutes beforehand to see whether I was home... WHAT DO YOU THINK?!) When he left at 12:15 after also setting up my wi-fi network on my cellphone, I took a much-needed shower and did some much-needed laundry!

In the evening, Dylan came by at 6:55 PM to help me buy a new microwave at London Drugs. He did call me first at 6:25 to advise me that he was at Walmart doing some stuff, then would come by here. We talked about his Great Value red curry chips, Declan and Elysse's swimming lessons, NOT defrosting meat in the microwave because it won't cook evenly and will be all frozen in the middle ("SEE?! NO ONE BELIEVES ME!"), his stressful day at work, parking, and the heavy bulky stuff. Came back home at 7:30 after I selected a new black RCA 1.1 cubic foot microwave oven for $99.99 plus tax (so about $117.60) - yes, that was definitely going on my savings account! Good thing I checked my bank balances BEFORE going out - that Panasonic inverter microwave from Robert was at least twice the price from Robert. I know why Mike insisted on it - because of his own image problems!

Then I heard that the St. Louis Blues had won the 2019 Stanley Cup against the nasty Bruins! Makes me feel better about 2011, for sure! I told Paulo to bookmark these microwave oven cooking conversion charts as well. He was at the gym, but came by at 9:35 to pick up the Danby Designers 700-watt microwave. Yes, having a free backup is nice, but I like to pay favors forward when I can. It just rarely happens in two and a half hours! Like I had thanked Dylan, Paulo thanked me - it's a cycle! :D


NEW microwave oven: RCA 1.1 cubic feet and 1000 watts!




Great Value red curry chips!




From Julie: Eulis?!




PIECE OF SHIT?! )

After a flurry of emails last night and my COFFEE TIME this morning, Dad called me at 10:35 AM to say that he'd made an appointment for 2 tomorrow with Uncle Stanley's lady associate at Kingsway and Slocan. ("as you know, Uncle Stanley isn't feeling well..." Nope, I did not know that!) He and Mom will take me out to lunch beforehand, so they want to pick me up at 12. Fine, I guess! At least I don't have to bus all the way there! Not that I had to bus to Auntie Anita's Royal Bank location when Steph and I set up the plan originally in 2009! Thank goodness I have whiskey at home for later, hahaha.


From Reddit on September 21, 2018: Learning disabilities do exist. Discrimination against the disabled also does exist. I don't think an insistence on correct spelling is ableist, Frothulhu… also, you are "non-binary" according to your subreddit flair, so you need to PICK A GENDER AND STICK WITH IT! Much easier for everyone else!

THIS ENTRY IS ALLOWED TO HAVE NON-ALIGNED TAGS.








"You Should Drive a Black Sports Car"




You are a strong and determined person. You are interested in power, and you're not afraid to grab some for yourself.
You may be driven, but you aren't cold about it. You are deeply emotional and in tune with the people around you.

You are both loyal and stubborn. If you're true to someone, you'll be true to the end... no matter what.
You are protective, both of yourself and the people you love. You love danger, but only when you've mitigated the risks.










"You Are Harry"




You can be a dark and pessimistic person a lot of the time, but you aren't as nihilistic as you seem.
Deep down, you are a hopeful romantic. It is easy for you to get your heart broken, and you are quite guarded as a result.

You are a genuine person to your core, and you insist that others accept you as you are. You are never one to fake it.
You have a great sense of humor and don't care about looking silly. You are always the first person to laugh at life.

It's Earth Day today!


Education: Why think for yourself, when you'd be better off just accepting our teachings without resistance? Now, just drink the Kool-Aid like Adam Hilliker wants you to...




From Dateline NBC: Zuzu Verk was a murder victim?!




From CFOX: This was 6 foot, 10 inch Zdeno Chara's bed for the Sochi Olympics in 2014!
