I have this, too! Yay! I just adore the Lone Gunmen.

Congrats Dargan! 🎊 Indeed, a dominating performance. 💙

Bit mainstream in thought, but it does makes me think of the Behemoth in "The Mist". Sure is a breathtaking photo.

I'd like to see someone pull out some jazz hands to "Heropsychodreamer".

Stephanie Smith 🌙 @horrorsteph78.bsky.social · 26d

No I haven't. Sounds good, though!

I actually like to put cayenne pepper on mine 🔥

True 🫂
On the other hand, to not know what's wrong is just as hard.

Photo taken of Sammy before vet appointment yesterday. Look at that face! It breaks my heart that at this time we were thinking he just maybe had a tooth or gum infection or at worst an abscessed tooth only to find out he has a mass in his abdomen. My whole world is at a standstill. 😿

I am a wreck, but Sammy is a trooper and I know he's gonna keep going until he can go no longer or we have to make that terrible decision no pet parent wants to make.

Nothing like receiving bad news at the vet then coming home to find in your mailbox an advertisement for some pet crematorium.

Not. Cool.

I watched it!

Stephanie Smith 🌙 @horrorsteph78.bsky.social · Sep 24

Thank you. I sure hope so. He's my baby. 🙏

Haven't been posting much. My Sammy (🐈) hasn't been well so my mind has only been on him.

I wanted to post my final #LearnedLeague standings. I happily managed to not be relegated (had some lucky defense and had an opponent forfeit near the end). Ended up in an okay 14th place, going 10-10-5.

🌈 Taking a break from all the disgusting things going on and enjoying something beautiful. Honestly, I wish I could crawl inside this video and live there forever and ever. 🪷

I'm trying to, but my brain hurts. 🤯

Stephanie Smith 🌙 @horrorsteph78.bsky.social · Sep 9

Started the new week with, yep, another tie. This, against an opponent whom I tied with in LL105. Scored 5(3)-5(4), which puts me currently 5-5-5 and in 15th. And the roller coaster continues... 🎢🥴 #LearnedLeague

Stephanie Smith 🌙 @horrorsteph78.bsky.social · Sep 9

Yay! Retro good luck, Ian!!

Stephanie Smith 🌙 @horrorsteph78.bsky.social · Sep 5

Maybe it's something about this season. I'm feeling all over the place. 😔

Get well soon. 💐

😔 Another tie. I'm digging that hole deeper and deeper. Decent defense may have helped me in Rundle C, but here in Rundle B, it's just not cutting it. I just..don't...know...things. Feeling so stressed and ill lately, too, I can't seem to focus. Still, I must keep trying. #LearnedLeague
