and i'm not talking about the NHL trade deadline with the subject heading, more on that later. no, i'm talking about my trip to Kroger today. they texted me yesterday to tell me my Jardiance was ready to pick up at $242.50. the last two times i got it, it was $45. so, i did my due diligence and tried to find a way to get it cheaper. so, i thought i found something going through GoodRx, and filled out the form and got a card, etc. so, i showed that at the pharmacy today and the lady told me they weren't accepting this, you're not in the system. this is the exact fucking reason why i wanted Obama when he changed the healthcare in this country to cut out the fucking insurance companies completely. there is no fucking reason on earth i should pay $242.50 for a medicine that i paid $45 for a month ago. what is the fucking point of having insurance. as i told my mother when i got home, all this truly is is further proof of why it is more cost effective to die than live. they wonder why there are so many fucking suicides... so, i really hope my bets hit tonight as i need the fucking money now. not how i was hoping any of this was going to go.
now, for the trade deadline. i was hoping the Rangers might make a stunner today, but wasn't expecting one. they did make a trade last night after i got the blog done. as for today, they made a minor trade with Buffalo. there was some big trades today, mostly involving Boston, Dallas, Florida, etc.
now comes the sprint to the playoffs.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.
the Dayton Flyers play tonight at VCU. if Dayton wins, they will get a double bye in the A10 tournament and be the 3 seed. if they lose, who knows. but, if they lose, i'm hoping they do so by less than 9 points, if you know what i mean.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before the New York Rangers play in the afternoon.
i have no clue what i am making for dinner tonight.
i do know, i need to vacuum the house, so i'll be doing that after i get this done.
i didn't get any writing done last night. apparently, my lack of sleep over the last 35 years or so is catching up with me. my arthritis was raging last night and apparently, my massage chair was too good for me to get up from. that being said, i do have at least one poem swimming in my head that i need to get down on paper soon.
until tomorrow kids...
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.

stay off the fucking streets.
get the fucking shot.

so, i made it to the doctor's office for my appointment today. my A1C was up, which means the Rybelsus did absolutely nothing for me. the only numbers i really liked was my blood pressure. after the appointment was over, they sent me upstairs to get some x-rays done on my left shoulder and elbow. those came back normal. oh well. i did get my flu shot today.
i took a little nap after i got home. the guy that cuts our grass woke me up as he was blowing the leaves around. hopefully, this will be the last time he has to mow the grass.
well, Manchester United lost yesterday at home to Tottenham, 3-0. Bruno got a weak red card which really baffles me that VAR couldn't tell just how weak the red card was. fuck, even the commentators that dislike Manchester United said it was harsh. but, just more of the same. i'm not sure what the disconnect is between ETH and the team.
the New Orleans Saints lost at Atlanta yesterday, 26-24.
the Yankees beat the Pirates yesterday at home, 6-4. they finished the season 94-68. they have the #1 seed in the American League playoffs. they will face either the Royals or Orioles on October 5th to start the ALDS.
the season finale of Industry was excellent last night.
Big Brother was good last night.
Power Book II: Ghost was really good last night. next week is the series finale.
The Penguin was awesome last night.

mom had a funny realization last night. she mentioned something that it seems like gambling is mostly about luck. sadly, she is right. for as much as i study the odds and feel like i know what i am doing, it really just comes down to dumb fucking luck. i did get the Bengals bet right yesterday. but, all the parlays that i thought had a really good chance of hitting, i lost on. now, i do not do big bets. hell, the largest i have done so far is $25. and the only reason i do those is they are basically guaranteed. i do have a few bets tonight for the national championship game and one on the Lakers vs. Nuggets. hopefully, i will have better luck tonight than i did yesterday.
the New Orleans Saints started the game off well yesterday. they went right down the field and scored. and i guess they thought that was all they had to do. the players and sadly, the coaches absolutely fucking stunk yesterday. they lost to Carolina, 10-7. i felt horrible for the defense that did so much for fucking nothing in that game. i really hope the coaching staff is different next year, but i doubt it. thank god the season is over.
the playoffs are now set in the NFL. the Chiefs and Eagles are the #1 seeds and have a bye next week. Seattle plays the 49ers. Chargers go to the Jaguars. Dolphins at Bills, Giants at Vikings, Ravens at Bengals and Cowboys at Tampa Bay.
the finale of George & Tammy last night was excellent.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw. i'll probably be watching the national championship between TCU and Georgia for most of the night.
the New York Knicks play at home tonight against Milwaukee.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
i did listen to episode 429 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
i did go to Rite Aid today to pick up two prescriptions. amazingly, they only cost me $9. i also got a box of baseball cards while i was there. i had $4 off so the box was less than $2. i found an autographed rookie in it, so that was a nice surprise.
i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the League Cup.
i hope everyone had a great Sunday.
i need to get going and make dinner tonight.
i hope all your bets are winners this evening.
until tomorrow kids...

the Yankees lost last night to the Astros, 3-1. that ended their 15 game winning streak at home. hopefully, they will win today.
Tampa Bay defeated Colorado last night, 3-2. that forces Game 6 Sunday night in Tampa.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

first off, a little poetry news to pass along. i sent out 14 poems today; 3 to Terror House Magazine, 5 to The Ramingo's Porch and 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
i thought i got some pretty decent sleep last night, but of course i didn't. the 15 minute nap i got in my massage chair while i was icing my back this afternoon was better i suppose. the heat finally broke last night when he had some storms roll through. that screwed up the DVR a little, but thankfully not too much.
the season finale of VICE was excellent last night.
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels was very good last night. the finale is next week.
The Chi was amazing last night. i didn't think they would start the new season off with a holy shit ending.
Hightown was really good last night.
Perry Mason was very good last night. i love that it seems to be a much more gritty version than ever seen on television.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Axios, I May Destroy You and Fuck That's Delicious. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i'll be on here tomorrow after i take my mother to get her injection for her back. she really, really needs one. she can barely move without pain anymore these days. good times.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
of course, it looks like everyone jumped the gun on reopening and that second wave of the pandemic is going to be here much sooner than anyone thought. great.
until tomorrow kids.

holy fuck, i feel like i have been busy all fucking day...
mom decided she didn't want to go to Menards. her anxiety has been fucking with her. i told her if she didn't want to go, she didn't have to.
i went to the bank to make my deposit. i decided i wasn't going to sit in line forever so i went to the branch closer to where i was going anyway. i only waited for 10 minutes there. if i would have waited at my usual bank, that wait would have been around 45 minutes at best.
i was a little surprised at how fucking busy Menards was. thankfully, i am a master at social distancing. i found just about everything on the list, minus toilet paper (which we don't need thanks to my lucky find at the drugstore yesterday) and some Clorox wipes. i got some new solar lights, some bird food, a new clock for my bathroom, some paper towels, paper plates and some other shit for outside. mom about shit herself when she saw that i got it all for under $100.
i keep joking with her. if you would have put me in charge of the shopping years ago, think of all the money you would still have...
i did find everything i was looking for in the drugstore last night. plus, i got myself some baseball cards. after that, i drove across the street to pick up the order from Pizza Hut that mom wanted. they were slicing the pizza right as i walked in. i love timing like that.
the season finale of Young Sheldon was really good last night.
the Parks and Recreation specials last night were excellent.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
the season finale of Better Things was great last night.
the season finale of Cake was fucking absurd last night.
Total Bellas was pretty good last night.
Shelter in Place with Shane Smith was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Betty.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
mom told me when i got home from shopping that she ordered some meat from Omaha Steaks. i asked how much and she said the total bill was over $300!!!!!! so i guess this weekend will be all about eating whatever the fuck is in the freezer since we're going to need the fucking room.
so yeah, i need to go get started on dinner.
i hope everyone has a great weekend, all things considered.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
ignore the asshole that runs the country.
