My kitties need dental surgery (apparently a thing for tortoiseshell cats). It will be very expensive. But the "fun" part is I have to bring in stool samples. Have to separate the cats and clean the litter boxes so I know what is what IYKWIM. But their bloodwork came back good - very happy as they are 12 years old already.

Hey, GROK, how can I tell if a turtle is dead?
Turtles can be incredibly still and often play dead or go into deep dormancy (brumation). Confirm their passing by checking for a reflex response (e.g., gently pulling a back leg to see if they pull back). Hmmmm....McConnell may just be in a state of brumation. Someone pull his leg.

I am actually oddly relaxed in the MRI to the point that I feel like I could nap if not for the noise. I could easily nap in the dentist's chair if the hygienist wasn't often asking me to open / close my mouth or change the position of my head. Shoot, conversing is out of the question, so I might as well sleep. Posted by: Krebs v Carnot: Epic Battle of the Cycling Stars (TM) - Humiliate! Humiliate!

From the internet:
The phrase "on the lam" means to avoid capture by fleeing from law enforcement. It originated in the late 19th century and was first used by pickpockets as a signal to escape from potential danger. The word "lam" is believed to have Old English roots meaning "to beat" or "thrash," which evolved to signify escaping or running away.

just having too much fun I guess Posted by: Don Black at July 06, 2026 08:53 PM (ZxPkt) Mostly it’s injury time. Plus when a goal is scored there’s time wasted on the celebration so that gets added back. The pausa de hydratation:eye roll: And other time wasting actions by the winning team like kicking the ball away after a foul or the stupid rolling around and faking injury bs.

Something like the word, "lambaste" meaning to beat someone severely?
Posted by: Kindltot at July 06, 2026 09:04 PM (rbvCR) ALSO FROM THE INTERNET: The origins of lambaste (which can also be spelled lambast) are somewhat uncertain, but the word was most likely formed by combining the verbs lam and baste, both of which mean “to beat severely.” (This baste is unrelated to either the sewing or cooking one.) Although lambaste started out in the 1600s meaning “to assault violently,” English speakers were by the 1800s applying it in cases involving harsh attacks made with words rather than fists. This new sense clearly struck a chord; after fighting its way into the lexicon, lambaste has held fast ever since. Posted by: Aetius451AD work phone at July 06, 2026 09:08 PM (zZu0s) 250

Aww, a chinchilla.
A chinchilla coat is the pinnacle of luxury in the fur industry, prized for having the densest, softest, and most velvety fur of any land mammal. Because of the tiny size of the animal, it takes 100 to over 200 pelts to craft a single full-length coat, which drives prices ranging widely from $7,000 for a cropped jacket up to $45,000+ for a custom coat. Chinchilla fur boasts between 50 to 60 hairs per follicle, yielding an incredibly plush and lightweight texture that is unmatched by mink or sable. They & fox made into women's collars, cuffs, stoles and jackets weren't real unusual wear several decades ago. (Nor were bunny fur hand muffs and stoles for weddings and proms.)

I played high school soccer for one year. Open tryouts, only 18 guys showed up so everybody made the varsity team. I was dead last in terms of athletic ability and physical conditioning.
So after one of my several injuries, coach asked me to run the clock at our next home game. No one had ever gone over the rules of the game or had tasked me with learning them. I ran the clock like a football game clock - stopping it for injuries, out of bounds, free kicks and any other non-playing time. When the ref whistled the game over with 14 minutes still showing on the field clock, everyone turned and glared at me. So endeth my first and last time running the game clock.

245 ... "My "Galahad and the Grail" just arrived. But another book I paid dearly for a couple of years ago was "Work of Human Hands."
Spend the money. Buy the good books. Leave them for your children." This is wisdom. And I've noticed an increase in better made books being offered. Not the NYT bestseller crap but classics or what will become classics. The recent release of the prose "Faerie Queene" is an example: slip case, quality paper and hard covers, and outstanding illustrations. Same with the three volume collection of JRR Tolkien's poetry. The Folio Society has been doing this since the 1940s. BTW, Rabbit Room Press, that produced "Galahad and the Grail", offers that elevated quality in some of their books. My niece and nephew have asked to be considered to inherit some of my books. Glad they are willing to wait. Posted by: JTB at July 06, 2026 09:33 PM (yTvNw) 317

Belgium issue Folarin Balogun threat and left with 'no alternative' as FIFA mess exposed
FIFA have been handed a new statement by the Belgium FA following the controversial Folarin Balogun red card U-turn The Belgian men's national football team is threatening a prolonged battle over Folarin Balogun's overturned red card, which will permit the United States striker to feature in the World Cup last-16. The Royal Belgian Football Association issued a their latest statement on Monday afternoon, which read: "Following its previous statement, the RBFA wishes to publicly explain the events of the past few hours. "After learning through media reports of FIFA’s decision to lift the automatic suspension of player Balogun, the RBFA sent a letter to FIFA requesting a copy of the decision, an explanation of the process that had been followed, and setting out its position regarding the applicable regulations. Posted by: rickb223 at July 06, 2026 09:42 PM (MXaEW) 342
The red card un-suspension was a distraction and not helpful. It was obvious from the beginning of the game they were way off. I would have much rather had Pepi play without the circus.
Belgium got pumped over this and it showed. Posted by: Not Our Day at July 06, 2026 09:42 PM (o0gs9) 343

Can’t be closer to the goal than the second to last defender (last one is ALMOST always the GK)….OR THE BALL….when the ball is played. Also you can’t be offside in your own half of the field. Also there is no offside on a throw in. Or a goal kick. Or a corner kick. Also you’re not offside if the ball was deliberately played back by a defender. Easy right????

We lost 1-0. Some of the dudes on the other team actually remarked that it was amazing they could only score 1 goal against us.

Posted by: Cow Demon at July 06, 2026 09:05 PM (qA8eD) ************* I love watching hockey because it's fast paced. My father taught me tennis, swimming, basketball, shooting pool & pingpong. As the daughter of a WWII Marine he was training me for something great. He wanted me to golf for a scholarship & I could not see it as I know I'd get mad at that little ball & throw my clubs & probably the caddy. I did not want to play basketball but was considered tall at 5'8" with a high vertical jump for rebounds. The problem was I would not wear my glasses and did not want to mess up my long hair fighting for the ball if the girl was bigger than me. Even nearsighted, tho, I had an outside shot and a free thrower. Then I warmed the bench. Shot pool with guys in college bars, and surprised many.
