In the US, Medicare maintains a comprehensive database of all hospitals called Hospital Compare. You can search within a radius of a city/town or zip code. https://www.medicare.gov/hospitalcompare/search.html
SWEET. I’ve passed it along!

What does that even taste like? Sage and onions?
Sage and turkey boullion, honestly. It’s a bit like eating soup mix. :D

You can still get those occasionally! When I worked in a fabric store, we got them regularly as part of our seasonal/holiday collections. Unfortunately they'd be stocked in with the regular by-the-yard fabric for that holiday, so hard to spot unless you checked every bolt. That said, I never saw one as cute as those cats.
Oh nice! I look every time I’m in the fabric section of the craft store but I never see any. I’ll persevere!

I do too! It’s not something I trained them to do, it just started happening -- the shelf is actually a shoe rack, and I noticed that whenever she heard me take my keys off the hook by the door, Dearborn would come running to jump up on top of the rack. So I started rewarding her with goodbye pets and telling her to be good, and soon Polk joined in to get one last cheek skritch before I left for the day. I love that they like to come say goodbye to me. Now all I have to do is jangle my keys and at least one, usually both, will come barrelling down the hallway to say goodbye.

The black spot on her lips makes her look so dubious about it XD
Dearborn has Resting Skeptical Face. She looks dubious about life in general, most of the time :D It was even funnier when she was a tiny kitten.

Speaking of Hallmark, have you seen there's a Hallmark Monopoly now? (Sorry if someone already pointed it out. I only heard today.)
AHAHAHAH I’m not surprised, in the 90s Hallmark stores always were the ones that sold the weird customized monopoly boards. Oh god, I might have to get one for my parents.

I'm a little disappointed a Hallmark convention is being held somewhere other than Kansas City at Crown Center, owned by Hallmark, right by Hallmark's HQ, with several Hallmark attractions near by. Sure, it's a bit more Hallmark general than Hallmark Movie Channel, but it'd still offer more Hallmark-ness than New Jersey.
It does seem like it would be more fitting, but since it’s an independent convention and Hallmark isn’t involved, I imagine it was way less expensive to get a couple of convention rooms at a random hotel in Jersey :D I’m sure if it goes well, they’ll have a look at moving to KC when they have the size to support it. (Also so much good KC bbq! I would go to a Hallmark Christmas Convention in KC.)

I'm not even going to try to add to the puns. But I AM curious if the mug is difficult to drink out of? It looks awkward to hold. But also AMAZING and I want one!
That was actually something I was curious about it too when a friend bought one -- drinking out of it is fine, but I was like, how is it to hold? But actually it’s pretty easy. You can pinch your hand around the wings, there are natural interior curves to rest your fingers in, or you can rest the “roots” of the wings on the webbing between thumb and forefinger while holding the mug itself (which I do because I don’t drink hot beverages out of it).
