[satine]

I feel like I desperately want to change like half my predictions, but I know if I do I'll regret it...

If the results differ from your predictions, you'll always end up regretting them..

I like to go with 60% logic/history & 40% gut instinct

I feel like I desperately want to change like half my predictions, but I know if I do I'll regret it...

Sometimes I change them in my OneNote predictions document but not here, just so I can compare after (get extra upset when the changes work out)

oh no

Just as I was done posting my predictions- before I even had the time to x out the tab -my cat tore through under my computer desk, ripping out my cords, & shutting off my entire computer setup! I fear this is a horrible omen. I will get the most minimal point in the history of the PG

Or, the best in the history of the game ;-D

I think it's equally likely. (If nothing else, the prediction games show how unpredictable the results can be...! Especially singles, and doubly so for the Men :-D)

You should have a word with your cat. If she doesn't agree with your predictions, maybe you should just let her have her own account :disapp: trying to sabotage you this way sounds very passive-aggressive. I sense some deep-rooted issues here.

Cats really are the best... maybe he was sending a message that he disagrees with you, but I'm going to guess you know a bit more about skating than he does, so I wouldn't let that concern you.

But the question is... did you at least get a picture of your cat tangled in a desk's worth of cords?

But the question is... did you at least get a picture of your cat tangled in a desk's worth of cords?

Isn't that why we have cell phones? I text and snap pics of my two hellions all day long when I'm home. One is lurking behind my desktop right now waiting to send things flying.
Regarding predictions, I just can't as they usually wind of being wish lists. I let you guys do the dirty work.
