I have more to send. *Laugh* Got locked from Newsfeed yesterday for sending too many. *Laugh* That is how I discover you can only send 30 per hour.
Thanks for the Reviewing GPs, you Anonymous gifter you!

Oh, for those days when you wake up and feel like breaking a bone.
My husband asked what I was watching and all I could mutter was, "I'm either waiting for someone to die or for someone to win an IRL video game."

He just sipped his coffee and walked away lol
ßlυҽყҽʐ 🤍 Author Icon - Not at the same time, I've broken a collarbone and my right arm, both times while riding a bike - well, technically, I guess no longer riding would be more accurate. The arm incident comes the closest to this daredevil's antics, and mine is tamer by several orders of magnitude. The collarbone incident was so minor, it was two days after falling off the bike that it became apparent something was wrong.
Owing to the absence of trees, I can only imagine that today's Achievement Badge celebration is the Mount St. Helens variant. *Laugh*

Pretty cool observation, there.
Congratulations for the achievement merit badges.

Thank you so much!!! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
Colorado (39-24-3) 10     Final SO     22 Minnesota (37-24-4) *Shock2*

This is currently on display at Yahoo! Sports. When I first saw it, I wondered if both teams had put every retired Zamboni driver in the Midwest in goal. A look at the scoring table provided the reality check: Colorado lost 2 - 1 to Minnesota in a Shootout.

I can't help but think somebody on the late shift at Yahoo! Sports is going to get a visit to the Editor's office.

So, for what it's worth, here's an update. It seems Yahoo! Sports shows the number of goals scored in a shootout as part of the score, with the shootout goals in parentheses. As a result, an alternate box score screen shows Colorado 1(0) - 2(2) Minnesota.

NHL shootouts are relatively uncommon, so it's no surprise I haven't seen this 'score' before. Whether it's just understood that's how they post it, or if the parentheses were omitted, it still looks odd.

Do you review, either just for yourself or as part of an organized activity such as "Anniversary ReviewsOpen in new Window.? Did you review a blog / journal entry and then decide to do another one in the same blog / journal, only to find a notice at the bottom of the page that you'll need to clear your current review in order to post another one?

I'm happy to report that there's a work-around (or it's the way things have always been, and I just figured it out).

To review a subsequent entry in that blog / journal, just click on the entry's title. You'll get a separate page that looks just like a regular static item, including the customary Review! Share your opinion... box at the bottom. *ThumbsUpGreen* This allows you to give a separate review for every entry in that Book!

You're welcome!

Reviews for individual book entries have been around for a while, but reminders like this one are very helpful.
I usually review with a group because I like the rewards. Also, I love the Power Raids held monthly although I do often miss them just because I like to include their thematic signatures from time to time. Actually, come to think of it, I almost never reviewed a book entry before. *Shock2* I had just realised this.
Based on this video clip, I'd have to say S 🤦 Author Icon hasn't been pulling our leg regarding Australian critter shenanigans.

In my neck of the woods the only critters that will go into a house/building are raccoons, which make a terrible mess, the occasion non venomous snake, salamanders, and tree frogs. Although further north of here, they had a black bear breaking and entering some cabins!

When I would walk to the boy's house, it was much further than mine, but safer, so worth the walk.
If snow spoke Latin, the aftermath of today's "snowstorm" here might say something like, "Veni, melti, slushi" [I came, I melted, I drained away sloppily.]

Latin for snowstorm. Good one.

Your review works deserve those GPs.
Country music? Sure, you've got your big hits by Shania Twain and George Strait, but they don't sing like this (for which we may be forever grateful):

Loved HeeHaw!
Every Saturday night, my Grandma (yes, that's what we called her) fixed a hot dinner for any relatives who could make it, which was mostly my family after we got off from work. Then we watched Lawrence Welk and Hee Haw together. My folks lived within walking distance, so I usually parked there. I was a bog fan of Roy Clark and I learned to like Buck Owens. Country music grows on you.
Pumpkin Author Icon - Indeed it does. *Smile*
