@MenInBlazers Poor Rose Lavelle. She works her way back from injury and gets suspended from the last game on a bad yellow card call. Her absence hurt especially in PKs.

@dubblecounter Back when I practiced 40 years ago, the distribution would have been similar except the benzos would be double that amount and no Adderall yet. We’d probably have three or four Premarin refills in that sample.

On this day in 1784, the first US merchant ship bound for China left the port of New York. Its primary cargo was American ginseng.

@welltory I have the app and can’t get it to link with my Apple Watch heart monitor. Not impressed so far.

@theyoungjoo Let's not forget to recognize the work (often volunteer) of those scholars who organize podium sessions, symposia, panel discussions, and other conference events.

@tastiestofnoms @jsench @profdgd As I fellow Michigander, I can attest to the importance of making the most of “sweet summer time, summer time” when we were young!

@emdashklatt The Ifth of Oofth by Walter Travis. If written today, we’d accuse him of a trite commentary on the impending climate catastrophe. In the mid-50s it was impending nuclear destruction….

@thelizfye @WildFlowerSeed_ @emdashklatt I’m with you. I was asked to give a talk on the history of antidepressants in conjunction with a library exhibit on The Yellow Wallpaper. I had not read it before and it really hit home.

@DanMalleck @reinarzhistory As a Wisconsinite, I was drawn instead to the book on Cheese…. :-)

@MenInBlazers @LastWeekTonight @peacockTV I will miss Mike Dean and his flare when showing a red card. Often when confronted with a choice of mediocre matches on tv, I picked the one with him as ref.

@BenUrick Wait until you are retired and have to deal with Medicare plans! Of course , I only have one heathcare-related doctorate, which may be my problem! 😉

@Grant_Harting Imagine my household when MASH was my father's favorite show and my mother had been an Army operating room nurse. She always left the room immediately when it came on despite my father's pleas.

[Greg Higby @HigbyGreg]

@RealDealDelRio Ouch!

[Greg Higby @HigbyGreg]

@arlowhite When hanging on to one goal lead, you sub on players with grit like Henderson and Trippier who will give their all to defend. I just don't understand....

[Greg Higby @HigbyGreg]

@arlowhite Not rocket science. After his goal, sub off Kane and bring on Bamford, who can run all day. Bring on Hendo to lead on the pitch and one more defender to shore up the back. Instead, fresh Polish guy scores winner. Ugh.
