well, just made breakfast for the missus. She’s not feeling well, and is afraid she might have to go to the ER. I was hoping we’d avoid another such trip before her surgery. We still might, but we’ll see.
Don’t take any chances LL. Err on the side of caution. Blessing on your missus.
LL - Go To The ER.
Wishing you the best Ll along with the missus. Congrats on first.
{{{{{MrsLL}}}}}
I don’t pray often but I am for you and your wife. Love, Sue
Not good. I hope things work out.
LL, I will keep you and Mrs. LL in my thoughts and my moments of prayful requests. May the comfort of the beautiful angels of love, peace, and a sweet and gentle healing be upon Mrs. LL.((((Hugs to her))))HZ
You would change just as I post some music. Dang it!
:-) Sorry shipmate, post again - LOVE your music!
Not a problem.
Afternoon everyone!
This is making love kind of beautiful music.
NAUGHTY MAT! :-)
Yardarm, this is one of my favorite loving to make beautiful music in the one that I loved in my days. Not kidding. There is an arrangement by Quincy Jones that is so beautiful for a loving evening with candles glowing in the background, a strawberry-kiwi tray sitting on the bed with rose petals and the rain dancing around on the roof. Oh my, what beautiful times, and Mr. Q, himself smoothly prancing all over the orchestral with his beautiful arrangement always brings the evening to a beautiful joyful enjoyment of a part of life that is so lovely and wonderful. Nothing like great music in life. Just plain and simple.
Yes, put me on the Naughty Mat. I am fine with that. A lot of you are right behind me. ((Love you all))
I think I saw Quincy Jones conducting in this piece on this video, yardarm. Thank you for posting it. Brings back some beautiful memories. I love great music. Thanks for always bring the great music to our family, yardarm. Beautiful voice. HZ
Glad you liked it. I’ll try to get some more.
Thanks yardarm. It is raining on the westcoast, and the poetry and music is lovely. I love the old ballads.HZ
Screeeeech! Hey! Huff! Wa-it up! Puff! I’m trying -huff- to catch up - puff!
Oh, VC! ;) I think I had best just stay in the here and now! Y’all are a.l.w.a.y.s Way Out There Beyond myself! (one gets used to it) :lol:
Hello, Pamela. I’m trying not to get used to it so I huff and puff trying to catch up, and sometimes (more often of late) I actually skip whole sections :shock: in order to be up front with the cool kids. This action of mine of course pushes them to move faster in order to stay ahead and stay :cool: - a never-ending exercise. You shouldn’t give up; if you do the cool kids will have no competition. :lol:
:) I haven’t given up, VC, just accepting of my time and place in the grand scheme of things. Working on a lot of inner dynamics at present. Seems much of it needs to progress offline. I’m with you all, but it goes more smoothly offline. Hugs all around! {{{{Chipsticks}}}}
{{{{{PBO}}}}} {{{{tod}}}}
Hugs for you too, my lady, as you calibrate or re-calibrate your dynamics on and offline. {{{{Pamela}}}}
Congrats on 1st LL.
Chips - thank you for yet another very fine video. And, Africatimes thanks for initially sharing the link.

You have to have add this, this is where Common originated his Obama/MLK collaboration into that Inaugural remix.
Added LovelyPlains, thanks a million, just perfect for this post.
I’m so happy, first thing that popped in my head was that. Thanks for sharing Chipsticks!
Thanks lovelyplains. It is nice to relax and cherish what we have just be given in our president. I think your sharing this and our beautiful Chips always brings our TOD family to a beautiful time to regroup, think on the beautiful moments of history that we all here shared in re-electing our president.
What a lovely post. Thanks so much, Chips. I needed this. (((( Love you and I appreciate this haven.))))
Love to you HZ!
((((((((Back at you, my special angel.))))))))))HZ
Yay! Common is fantastic. A true musical prodigy.
I’ll see your poet and raise ya one. :-)
Oh, added to the post with joy - thank you Yardarm
Hey Chips, what’s the application you use in Mac to edit all your funny pictures that you post on TOD?
Hiya UT, I just use Paintbrush or Gimp, both free and very, very, very simple!
Thanks Chiparoo. So do I just download Paintbrush for Mac and Gimp for Mac?
That’s it!
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/downloads/
Thanks so much Chips. For the GIMP, do I just choose the one without ad-ons since that would be safer and less crowded?
You’re welcome UT! I just chose the simple one, with no ad-ons. And even then it has enough features to tax my muddled head. :???:
Paintbrush is the simpler program, very basic, and perfect for just adding captions to photos - that kind of thing. Gimp is like a scaled down version of Photoshop, ie a little more complicated, but a youngster like you will find it easy peasy :-)
You are the freaking best. Thanks Chips. This helps a lot. :D
Oi, I’ll be asking you for tips on these programs very soon - everyone told me that even a daisy could work all Gimp’s features ….. well: :oops:
Love Dr. Maya Angelou. I have all of her works. This is one of my favorites. Taught this one to a group in my Performing Arts Class. Then one of my school supintendents did a beautiful recitation of it at one of my African American History programs and a classroom program as well. The students loved it so, they wanted to learn it and recite it while one of my dance groups did a dance that one of student choreographers produced. It was wonderful. So this posting of Dr. Angelou brings back beautiful memories.
Thanks for posting it, Chips. Love this post. This gives so much love going out to our POTUS and FLOTUS for wanting to continue to expose our beautiful young children to the love of the Arts. Let us keep working hard to get his agenda for all people, especially our beautiful students in elementary and secondary schools. So nice and refreshing after coming off of a lovely week. We are with you, Mr. President and our beautiful First Lady.HZ
We are so blessed to be here with our Chips. Thanks so much, Chips.HZ

We got some BIG CHANGES to make to America in the years ahead.

It is in line with what Bill Maher was saying yesterday. But with Maher, he personalized it. Male humor…thingy.
The Video is just artfully well done. I have a Dream…………The Dream Shall Never die. It will continue to Thrive and Endure.
And this is the mammoth that the GOP will do everything to preserve while social programs go down the drain. We must give our ALL to the military and bow down before military might. I’m not a therapist, but there seems to be something deeply pathological about this.
The same people who think we need bottomless funding of the military are the same people who demand their own military assault weapons to defend themselves from the gov.
Sorry, I am late to the family, but I am enjoying all of this. I had to go out this morning and came back and then talked via phone to my best friend of 48 yrs.,who is near Pamela’s lovely part of the country; so I am slowing enjoying each comment and wonderful music by yardarm. What a way to enjoy an after-glow honoring our President. Love this also, yardarm! Thank you.HZ
It was nothing but thank you anyway.
Ok, the puppy is off to the sitter’s and we’re heading to the ER. Will keep you all posted.
Thinking of you and your wife LL, wishing you the best.
Hi LL… hope all goes well.
Good decision LL. Hope it’s not anything serious, and your wife feels better soon. We will keep her in our thoughts.
Wishing her well and sending you both warmest thoughts.
Best wishes to you & to your wife LL.
Sending positive thoughts LL
Thinking of you both…hope she’s ok. Please let us know as soon as you’re able
Praying for a speedy recovery LL.
Best wishes, LL! I hope she feels better soon.
Candles lit, LL for your wife. Lots of love coming her way. Hug her for us.HZ
Time to bust a move.
Yardarm — you’re trying to get a party started up in here! I so miss Grover!
Speaking of starting a party, where is Dudette? I’ve missed her since the day after inauguration.
It’s time to cool out a bit.
Alright yardarm, let’s see you get down….
We’ll try. I’m just keepin’ LL missus in the back of my mind though.
I LOVE GROVER! Thank you, yardarm!! Been listening to him for many, many years…. :)
I keep tellin’ ya I ain’t no square.
:) I see that!!
Yardarm it’s a lost rainy day in SoCal, but you music just brightened my day!
That’s a good thing, right?
Yes, Indeed!
I meant to say a “lousy rainy day” not a “lost rainy day.” Actually my day has been more productive because I stayed home did some badly needed organizing instead of going out to enjoy the sun as I usually do on week-ends.
It is nice to groove with yardarm’s selections. I am enjoying it so much.
Nathkatun7, I am out here with you, and I must agree, I do not like to go out in the rain, but ran out during the small letup. This is nice relaxing, reading and catching up with my family here, and yardarm with some of the greats. Beautiful weekend to POTUS and FLOTUS. I am ready for the party.HZ
Okay, grab a hanky before viewing this video! Sports Illustrated SportsKids of the Year
okay, lets try again
Excellent compilation Chipsticks and TODers!
Alright, take that media and shove it.
Bill Clinton’s 2nd inauguration was also significantly down from his 1st, going from ~ 800K in the first to ~250K in the second. The fact that PBO’s second inauguration remained at or above 800K in the second inauguration - particularly considering how much media effort went into dampening enthusiasm for the event, is nothing short of an amazing feat.
Furthermore, in 2013, there are much more ways to access the event from the comfort of one’s living room with large screen HD TV’s, High resolution computer livestreams, smartphones, etc. There was no such competition of that kind as recently as 8 years ago. There was no YouTube or Twitter to get instant images and archived recordings. You either went to the event, or watched it on regular broadcast/cable TV with non-HD picture.
There is simply no way to spin it. This 2nd inauguration was an extremely well-received and well-attended event.
His supporters expected that from the beginning.
Does anybody have a creative idea about what to name a workship/forum about how to promote political activism among Latinos? I’m trying to put together a forum on this subject for this coming April and invite people from nearby counties to talk about ways that Latinos can work together to create a political force in the community. Instead of voting every four years, vote in all elections. Instead of thinking nothing will change, work to change it. Instead of thinking that running for office is somebody else’s business, think about doing it yourself. Anyway, I’m searching my brain for a catchy title, about engaging in the public arena that doesn’t sound pompous and heavy. Any ideas? Recently some one from our community overheard a remark at our county headquarters that since Latinos don’t vote, you don’t have to go overboard to please them. This has got to change. Politicians at the national level have begun to take notice of the growing Latino impact on federal elections. It’s time for state and local governments to feel the power.
I’ll be thinking on that one, jackie:)

JG, I know these are long, but just playing with some words of thoughts. I will keep working on some. HZ
HZ, as usual these are wonderful. Thanks for all the suggestions. Hope you’re feeling well.

Like this. Thanks, AG.
Be The Change.
Latinos don’t vote? Oh, really?!
Listen to PBO’s words and maybe something will come to you:
I lit a candle for Mrs. LL, under the umbrella of PBO’s Lights. Join in if you care to… http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/candles.cfm?l=eng&gi=PBO
Thanks for the link. I lit one for her and for Mrs. WesleyA ( TOD truck driver’s wife) who is in a coma.
Lit one for LL and wify and for Wesleya on the site, Pamela. I also have candles lit through my home as always. Thanks so much for what you are alwaying thinking of other, Pamela.((((((Love you, Angel))))))))HZ
fortunately the er has wifi. I think we are in for a long wait. it’s pretty packed.
Wishing all the best for your wife LL.
Gosh, LL, so sorry to hear you and your wife are there. Hoping of the best SOON.
Some more to remember.
Just when I was getting up…
Coming atcha nathkatun7
Much appreciated, yardarm. This is what I needed today.
Awright!
As I said on an earlier TOD thread some days ago, I suspected that this whole media ginned-up nontroversy about Beyonce’s lip syncing was really about PBO in general. Sure enough, Salon didn’t take long to prove me right with this bullshitty article.
These people are pure evil! Just pure evil! I hope all of you TOD members of the twitter brigade will make sure to push hard against these haters at Salon.com
Now that FOX News is defunct, many of these “Liberal” outlets will take up FOX’s mission to try to duplicate in 2014 what we had in 2010. But they had better think again. We won’t let them.
No words.

Yet another responsible gun owner, I see. By all means, no new gun regulations - preserve the 2nd Amendment right for a father to terrorize his daughter with a gun. These people are insane.
The reality is that if there are no regulations that the right wing and NRA think can stop gun violence, then let’s just ban all the guns. That will stop gun violence.
800,000 Californians bought guns last year and Orange County is having a gun show today with record attendance. More good guys and gals buying guns only to become bad people to use against their family or others. Last night on our local news they showed how most guns are stolen by “responsible” gun owners who then resell them illegally. This is how the “bad” guy gets guns that the so-called “good” people are so afraid of….they get them from the “good” guy.

Dear Chipsticks and TOD members thank you for this wonderful place that attracts many spirited, yet thoughtful, people who love and respect President Obama, VP Biden and their families. I come to this place to learn, sometimes to passionately, argue, but most of the time because many people here inspire me. Because I love to laugh, sing and, yes still dance at my age, I am very partial to people who tell/share good jokes, love music and have no qualms letting their hair down to appreciate how it feels to be human.
Today I wanted to give a very special shout out/THANK YOU to Yardarm (fondly referred to by Chipsticks and others as Sailor) for the wonderful music he shared (as he always does) on two threads. The songs he selected were filled with love and were aimed at reminding us that it’s o.k. to appreciate life in spite of all the ugliness that we encounter. I am especially grateful that he re-shared Maya Angelou’s timeless poem: “Still I Rise!” For me, Maya Angelou’s “Still I Rise” poem beautifully captures the significance, and the essence, of the Obama presidency.
Thank you Yardarm for sharing the depth of your humanity.
I echo that nathkatun7, a completely beautiful contribution from our beloved shipmate!
Bravo nath on your special tribute to Yardarm!!! Agree, fully!!!
Amen, Amen, and Amen!.((((((((((((( Thanks for this beautiful place with such beautiful spirits.))))))))))
So beautifully stated, nath. Thank you.HZ
