"Insults" from the internet that apparently I'm supposed to take offense to: "Nice shirt." "You write about bobsledding." "Your favorite baseball team is a minor league team." "Your favorite football team is a CFL team." All just statements of fact, really.

@_J0die_ @chrissyteigen Hamster cages from the store are great if you find “hide and go seek” super exciting. Once found mine in a closet with some sports equipment. Picked the girl up and felt what I thought were bones or something in her back (I was more dumb then than I am now) It was 4 golf tees
