I thought I was first, I kept checking my email and it wouldn’t download! Is this an undercover plan among the Insiders?? :) {{{{{hf}}}}} really, m’dear, first does look so very good on you! :)
Now, Hopef, don’t be so skeptical. Cut them some slack and cheer that they are finally coming to their senses (before it’s too, too late). :grin::grin: BTW, I’m quite proud of you, both for renouncing the bottle AND accomplishing a 1st place entry! Would that Boehner could see and be encouraged by your example.
JOB, good message to send them. Also, if they want more people to sign on, they can stop the fear mongering about the Koch brothers and Republican millions.
I, too, have let many of them know. Of course I didn’t tell them I am living on less $$ than at any previous stage of my entire adult life!! That’s none of their business!!
Desertflower, I really feel for all of you sane and decent people in Arizona! The crazies in your state legislature seem to be on steroids they way they keep passing these insane bills, one after the other.
Thanks, nath:) Honestly, they are INSANE! Every single one of the RW nutjobs is a bought and paid for shill for ALEC. Every. One. They have cost the citizens of this state untold millions because of lawsuits for these kind of BS bills that are clearly unconstitutional….people need to pull their heads out of the depths…..they are all ideology, all the time…..and stupid. I shake my head. As soon as I can get outta here, I’m gone.
DF, you are always welcome to come to the Golden State, especially sunny San Diego! If a great many of sane Arizonians emigrated to San Diego and Orange County, California, we might be able to get rid of some of the remaining right wing crazies in our state, like Darrell Issa and Duncan Hunter Jr.
{{{{{nathkatun}}}}} Funny. I thought that when Californians started to move here when the bottom fell out of the housing sector….I thought for sure that sanity would prevail here with all of you left coasters moving in:) I was sooooo happy! Alas, not enough of you came…..actually, it’s the RW legislature that’s screwing everything up for everyone here….People here just aren’t where they are…..like I said before, they all need to die off. I’m not kidding.
That said, you may remember that hubby and I lived in our little slice of Coronado paradise when he was in the Navy…..I could be talked into that again:)
Dems who consistently vote need to get other Dems who don’t to really get out the vote this year. The GOP have lost their minds and if anyone thinks this will reside are sadly mistaken.
Yeah. I do. I really do. I always get the vibe when a new post is coming in. Sometimes my inbox tries and tries but won’t/can’t download. Then, wuh? I coulda shoulda woulda been first!! Oh well, I have had more than a fair share, so s’all good! ;) {{LDS}}
Thanks GCL for sharing the good news! I am absolutely convinced that our entire economy would be booming if retags hadn’t obstructed President Obama’s jobs policies.
Talk about perfect timing….I sure needed that.
Just came in from dirty, slushy, sloppy, wet puddles gray/black NY snow.
The movie was fun, though. I had to get out the house. More coldness next week.
Those colors just made me smile, hope and hang in there.
Thank you.
I feel your pain! But today was better than yesterday, with its sleet, rain, fog, high winds, plague, and the impending hum of locusts - Ha! We WILL get through this winter!
saw this image and my thoughts were similar to your - great colors are good for my soul particularly given how challenging the weather and world events are
GCL, thanks for sharing this. The tragedy of the Challenger must be a very painful memory for LaSanya Rucker. I am glad, however, that she transcended her pain and shared her story, and her reverence, of Ronald McNair. Until the terrible crash of the challenger, and the tragic loss of Ronald McNair, many Americans, including African Americans, didn’t know that there were African American scientists and astronauts.

That jet is mid-range and has been in the air for awhile, the current flight path has it moving SW from Dubai, perhaps to a private airfield. We’ll know soon where it lands (and, hopefully, who’s on board) … nice thing about finite amounts of fuel :)

I have put down the bottle, and made amends from the earlier cheating.
I am 1st.
Congrats Hopefruit!
Thanks Carol :)

Thanks oh Mighty one!
Congrats, HF! It must feel good to win without cheating!
:lol:
Photos I love photos of the Obama family.
The DCCC now wants to have PBO’s back. I guess folks told them they weren’t donating a cent unless they supported PBO for 2014.
I know I sure did. tell them they aren’t getting a dime from me because they don’t support POTUS
Now, Hopef, don’t be so skeptical. Cut them some slack and cheer that they are finally coming to their senses (before it’s too, too late).
:grin: :grin: BTW, I’m quite proud of you, both for renouncing the bottle AND accomplishing a 1st place entry! Would that Boehner could see and be encouraged by your example.
Indeed vc. I’m hoping Boehner is lurking on TOD, and taking a page from my book.
Hf, i f Boehner has been lurking, I’ll have to say he’s really dense and unreachable given all the helpful info that enters these village walls.
JOB, good message to send them. Also, if they want more people to sign on, they can stop the fear mongering about the Koch brothers and Republican millions.
Hi, jackieG - I agree!
I read their tweet again, and ended up feeling a mite snarky. (And after having suggested Hf cut them some slack too! :oops: )
Tweet of the day!
:oops: :grin:
Applauding LOUDLY!!!!! :)
TY :oops:
I, too, have let many of them know. Of course I didn’t tell them I am living on less $$ than at any previous stage of my entire adult life!! That’s none of their business!!
Nice to see this:) Not EVERYONE here is nuts:)

Thank you NW - fabulous photos - very minor blip - PBO should swap around a few of those WH paintings
Dems who consistently vote need to get other Dems who don’t to really get out the vote this year. The GOP have lost their minds and if anyone thinks this will reside are sadly mistaken.
Noting that the south is still refusing to expand medicaid - this should be a massive reason for people to reject GOP governors
Thanks for the great photos of the day NW. :grin:
NW, beautiful poignant pictures. Thank you.
Of course, I was left in the dust on the las post talking I myself.
I was right there with you LDS!
MP, you feel me, right?
I know how to bring on a new post.
Yeah. I do. I really do. I always get the vibe when a new post is coming in. Sometimes my inbox tries and tries but won’t/can’t download. Then, wuh? I coulda shoulda woulda been first!! Oh well, I have had more than a fair share, so s’all good! ;) {{LDS}}

dreaming of these beautiful colors
How beautiful and uplifting, on a wintry day. Thank you!
Talk about perfect timing….I sure needed that.
Just came in from dirty, slushy, sloppy, wet puddles gray/black NY snow.

i needed the brightness too
saw this image and my thoughts were similar to your - great colors are good for my soul particularly given how challenging the weather and world events are
Let’s keep our spirits up … together!
This is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it GCL.
Good evening, nath! We all need more “gorgeous” in our lives!
Indeed, Indeed, JOB! Perfect balm to help ease the despair we constantly experience from all the man made ugliness in the world?
Ah, yes. Exactly.
Glorious colors! Thanks for sharing, Linda.

And these are high school children - another generation who think it is not racist to show a black “dummy” being lynched

Do POTUS and FLOTUS suppose to host a Governors Ball? When.
Lookin’ like a good day! #GoUnions
I have so enjoy looking at the video of FLOTUS appearance on the Tonight show.
So did I anniebella - watched a couple of times :)
:)
Awaiting confirmation ….
Ohio GOP is passing bills to mess up voting - as if there are not enough voting problems in Ohio already;
itching to see these republicans out this November;
Here’s one answer to that problem … if anyone in or outside of the state wishes to support her …

… all the technologies that have become so common that the totally exceptional notion of tracking, in real time, a flight and capturing the tracking images and tweeting them!!!
I love it, too, Bob, and I’ve used the technology online myself to wait for a happy landing here! Awe inspiring.
It is “Awe inspiring,” Jacqueline!!
That jet is mid-range and has been in the air for awhile, the current flight path has it moving SW from Dubai, perhaps to a private airfield. We’ll know soon where it lands (and, hopefully, who’s on board) … nice thing about finite amounts of fuel :)
Ah, yes, gotta stop somewhere, unless they can refuel mid-air!
Truly hard to imagine - despite all our political issues - yet to see a President/PM doing something like this.
If he’s on the plane he’s a smart dude because he was about to join the Hussein, Gaddafi club ….
Hi Bob - do they know for sure he is on board this plane?
Nope. Should know soon though :)
many thanks - it seems to have landed at Fujairah
It is confirmed that the plane is Ukrainian Presidential plane … should know more in the next few hours, if not sooner …
Thanks Bob - much appreciated - have to go out - will check in when we get home. Enjoy your evening
Hope you enjoy your day, as well, 99 :)
Wonderful, isn’t he? :)
Yes! Loved him back in the ’80s, especially. So glad I saw this, so I could watch/record the special.
His new album is pretty good. I saw a performance of it on the BBC a few weeks ago.
Yes, he’s still doing great things! This special on PBS tonight is phenomenal.
Yes, all of them, but this still gets me …

Love the creative ways folks try to “get through winter” (not to mention bring in customers to their restaurant!):
Just fell over laughin’ at that #slowbulbs thingie, amk! Thanks. Needed that.
It took them 6 friggin’ years? Only twitterquette prevented me from going for more ear cupping phrases.
Which we’re all thinking, anyway, of course. They are unreal.
Just discovered this website today: http://www.interpretermag.com/
Very good reporting on Russia and its near-abroad.
