Dawg I sunk multiple thousands of dollars into one of my two cats his first year and a half of life because he had major GI issues. Turns out he was just allergic to food and a special diet solved it after a ton of trial and error. These little guys are family. Of course you gotta take care of them. No shame in it ay all.

Been a long time bro, though I know quite a few at it around the city these days. Sorry to hear that. I don't understand putting thag poop in coke though... It's a downer.. Coke is uppity and energetic.

My buddy has been a recovering addict for a long time. He now helps others get clean. He tells me it's in absolutely everything down here. Even weed.

The worst. My other cat currently has a slipped disk because he’s an awful combination of extremely playful but somewhat overweight so he threw himself out while back flipping his overweight ass chasing toys. The medication administration via syringe is not going well!

Ok. Grandlund, Bonino, and Kulikov.

I hope Hextall is gone after this season and a GM goes balls deep for the next 3 seasons. It’s so disheartening to see the top 6 with multiple 20 goal scorers and then the bottom 6 just dying. Hextall clearly had the ability to obtain cap space, but did nothing of note with it

It's not that bad. Bonino, even at his age, is an upgrade on Blueger this season. Kulikov got us out from under the McGinn contract. And, Granlund is criminally underrated offensively. The guy was the best player maker on the market outside of Domi. The Pens did improve.

Hahaha I wouldn't say... Theyre so finicky... For now, my cat is super lethargic.. So not too hard to do stuff to him but if he starts coming around and getting his energy then it'll probably be a nightmare

They improved but against a conference adding Kane, Meier, Tarasenko, Bertuzzi, etc… Hextall single handedly wasted one of the final 3-4 years of Sid, geno, and letang.

Me because my 6 year old boys heart was breaking.. And well, I've had the cat and his bro since they were 8 weeks old.. And as someone who had no problems with putting anywhere from 100 to 500 bucks up his nose a night in his twenties, and doesn't regret it at all, has no problem spending 400 on a loved one and for a loved one.

That's crazy. I know there's people wanting to do Fent and get a crazy opioid buzz from it in this city. Zero cases of anything being laced with it here though. This is a small city. Small place. It'd be all over the news and a lot of people would be talking about it if this was happening. I'm still in contact here and there with a lot of friends I partied extremely hard with way back then, some of them are family men and women now and don't be at poop, some are still at things almsot weekly... Like twenty years later... It's crazy to me but to each their own.

I like my cat when it decides to come around. Sometimes it even jumps on my lap and purs.

Unfortunately I don't know that they will. Pretty sure I read last week that he is only a couple games away from losing waiver exempt status and I have a bad feeling they will try to preserve that despite his play.

If they see him as a FT NHLer next year (which they should) it doesn't matter. Isn't it usually just so these guys are eligible for the AHL post season?

Usually yes, but they may also want to preserve that exempt status into next season seeing how highly Sully values young players lol

Kulikov was 50% retained... not sure if it was just me missing that when the trade was first announced. Him and Bonino at 50%, was/is there another move still pending or did it just not happen?

What if part of bringing in Granlund is about trying to keep Zucker beyond this season? What if bringing Bonino back is sending a message to Phil the Thrill?
