Sunday Evening 🌒T

 Meanwhile in Canada it's still winter. 

Pro tip: If the ice-covered branches are making scary cracking noises, it's not a good time to go for a walk with your selfie stick. 

Lorne Michaels should probably have a deportation contingency plan.

Poillievre's campaign is hitting an area of turbulence. As we say on the east coast, what a sin. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/conservatives-campaign-civil-war-party-1.7497029 

Actual footage from the Conservative war room. 


If winter has for real ended where you are, consider posting some flahr photos in the Gallery so the rest of us can live vicariously. 🌷

The Photo Gallery


  It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.

They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Sunday OT

 



Good morning, Balkers.

 Good evening.


Fur Face Friday

Hello and welcome to Fur Face Friday, where we get our weekly dose of friendly cute endorphins. Last week had us seeing double. This week out fuzzballs are expressing their opinions. Like our boy Reggie, who has a few things to say about the service around here.

It's pretty much impossible to get this work table level, and it turns out that the bow in the middle is caused by the leg, which won't tighten up, so as soon as any pressure is applied, just collapses. If anything, the table is worse than when I started, which is what I was afraid of. I think it's a two person job.

Blaurgh!Talk


Dagnabbit, it's almost the end of the week and the blaurgh just keeps on coming. Go ahead and let it out here.

Thursday Morning Open Thread

 

On March 3rd of 2017 Nintendo released the Switch. A smidge over 8 years later today they are showing off the last round of new games for it today. 


150 million plus Switches, and about 68 million copies of Mario Kart Deluxe have been sold. For a little underpowered console it’s definitely been amazingly successful.  

My favorite game for it has been Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. 

Have a Switch, or a favorite on it? Don’t care and want to talk about something else? It’s the open thread.

Sunday Dinner OT

It's sort of spring-like out there. I think... I'm still in my PJs, puttering around doing chores, drinking tea, and bingeing Canadian politics. 

🌷How's it going?

Grr; the accountant I contacted isn't taking any new clients at the moment, and the one person she was able to recommend has retired. 

Blaurgh!Talk


It's nearly the end of the week and the blaurghs have been building. Go ahead and spike 'em out.
