Preseason hockey: the only time in the season where I don't care if we win or lose a game, I'm just so damn happy that hockey is back. If you need me, this is where you'll find me. #ALLCAPS

#firstworldproblem, I know, but I'm not even trying to take the tip from the driver, I just want my overpriced food. I'm only mildly irritated at the car issue, flat tires happen, but a heads up would have been nice. But the restaurant? Yeah, pissed off at them bc they basically said "too bad"

So @grubhubsupport.bsky.social - when a driver runs into an issue (totally understandable) but doesn't update you & the restaurant will not allow you to pick up the order yourself, what do you do? Am I now out that money? (Also, I only know that the driver has a flat bc I texted them bc it's LATE)

Don't mind me, just feeling old about a historical book set in the 80s. 😭🤣 Yes, I know that it is historical, but it doesn't seem like it should if I remember the time period clearly. LOL. It's a "me problem," I know. #feelingeverybitofmy50years #genxgonnagenx

*sigh* I was really looking forward to a night out to see @sarahmillican.bsky.social tonight at DAR Constitution Hall, but with a bum knee which limits how far I can walk and with all the road closures bc of the damned parade, I don’t know if i can go now. 😭

We're only one period into game 1 and I'm already hella anxious. Must go find my inhaler and make sure it's handy bc I have a feeling I'm gonna need it to survive this series. #ALLCAPS #CapsCanes #Round2 #StanleyCupPlayoffs

I can't wait to see the video from Carbs' speech in the locker room. This is gonna be epic. Can't wait to see you get 895, O! #OviIsTheGOAT🐐 #ALLCAPS

Absolute BS. Wrong call, refs. Wrong fucking call. Dear boys, let's scoar a shorty. Just because.
April 4, 2025 at 11:52 PM
Have I been a blubbering mess seeing Backe, Batya, Holts, Devo, and Osh? Yes. Did I lose my everloving crap seeing O get 893 that quickly in the game? Also yes. Letting myself have a little hope that it could happen tonight. Just a little, though. #ALLCAPS #HawksCaps #thegr8chase #OviIsTheGOAT🐐

Dammit @fatedmates.net - I gave the 1st book in the Pennyroyal Green series a try a few years ago and it didn't hit right, so I never continued on... I listen to your latest episode and now I need to read this one and give the series another try! 🤣 (And yes, I will reread the 1st one bc completion)
March 22, 2025 at 3:03 AM
Okay, yeah, you need a change... but Ovi, who was working on a hatty, is on the ice, and you have over 2:30 left and you pull your goalie? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I mean, thank you for that - all of Caps Nation thanks you for that one. Ovi gets his hatty and number 882! 🚨🧢🚨🧢🚨🧢 #ALLCAPS #OCaptainMyCaptain #OviIstheGOAT🐐

Things overheard at Target this morning: exasperated tween tells mom “MOM! We already have SO MANY sparkling wines! Put them back.” Mom replies non-plussed “nope.” I’m not sure of who to be more amused by in the situation. 🤣

#Caps people, what is Frank's goal song? I thought I heard "Life in the Fast Lane" but I wasn't 100% sure on the broadcast. Inquiring minds want to know! 🤣 #ALLCAPS

I understand that this may be a bit bitchy considering we had snow yesterday, but after spending time today making sure that there was a path shoveled to the mailbox, this "No Access" is absolute BS. *sigh* Thankfully these pkgs aren't my dad's meds (those usually just get tossed onto the stoop 🙄).

Does it still count as a five-hole goal if the goalie is lying on his side and his legs are in the air? I mean, it still went through the legs... 🤣

It looks like @dlj26.bsky.social is getting one hell of a birthday present today - Ovi's back in the lineup and the chase is back on! Happy birthday, bestie!

Dear god, I love Protas. "Red looks better on them instead of white" in reference to PLD and Roy and the importance of today's game to them. Can we keep him forever? And his dad had never seen him play before Friday?? Adore this kid. #ALLCAPS #GoGoGadget

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

What. The. Actual. Fuck? No. AI should not be involved in book production, full stop. As Jen said - resist the enshittification of books! Whatever you read, books should be written by people, not AI.

You know you're of a certain age when you remember watching this on TV - in reruns, mind you, but still on TV. 🤣 Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

That was one hell of a comeback. TBH, I wasn't sure that we'd see this kind of outcome with the way we were playing in the first, but I'm so glad that whatever was said in the room during that intermission seems to have lit a fire under everyone. I love that it's been a great Mentors' Trip!

TOM WILSON GIVES US THE LEAD!! Thank all the hockey gods. (And thank goodness Stromer is okay, just less a couple teeth.) 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 #ALLCAPS

Thanks for this, NHL. I don’t remember ever seeing the app announce OWN GOAL, but then again, I can’t remember when we last got one. So, Point gets a hattynow. Yup. *sigh* Come on boys, tie it back up for Chuckie!
