I finally have the ultimate “reveal companion” flex
Anyone have any insights or experiences to share with regards to gym chains (Planet/Anytime/LA/24 Fitness)? Learning I was previously blessed by a close by community center gym and am now looking for a replacement gym to lift in post-move.

🏆 Jamie cooked with this one. Helps a lot to play against 4 fair(ish) decks and a dredge opponent who mulls to 4 twice, but it still feels good to be exploding some kittens again. Love the innovation. Give it a whirl if you want to try a different flavor of DnT.

I have learned a valuable lesson in the past 2 days and that is: I’m never flying with pets again for the rest of my life
We are finally in Seattle! But guess who yelled the whole flight, crawled out of her sweater, broke out of her carrier TWICE, peed herself, somehow managed to bite through her upper lip and got her tooth stuck so we had to find an emergency vet clinic on our very first day 🤡
