Oh, look. Chips is first. Shocking.
:) ;)
:-) I made an extra effort today GB, I had to end my losing streak!
Okay. Okay. We must keep you happy. :)
Thanks for the uplifting start to Mother’s Day, Danny’s mom!
:-) A pleasure Judith - happy Mother’s Day!!
Morning Chips, hope you’ve recovered from your Eurovision binge. Happy Mother’s Day to all moms today. May the sun shine in the sky and in your heart.
:-) Morning Jackie!
💐 HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all my friends on TOD. Have a wonderful day being a Mother and remembering your Mother. ☺️
And the very same to you Roberta!
Thank you Chips. & Great to Danny’s Mom. ☺️
Watching C-Span Washington Journal. w benghaaazzziii MSM just can’t help themselves. A whole segment. Geeez?
G’morning Chips & TOD! Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, mother-figures, etc here on TOD and everywhere else :) :)
Moooooooorning Hopefruit, Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks and the same to you too! I hope Danny plans to give you a nice break for today :)
I was hoping he’d present me with a bunch of roses (presumably stolen from next door), but still waiting :roll:
He might have tried, but they are a tempting treat. Maybe the thought of roses for breakfast was too irresistible for him. Anyway, it’s the thought that counts.
Heh! Indeed Chips…the day is yet young…
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family. Happy Mother’s day to all Mothers and future Mothers. I hope your day is fill with Joy, Laughter and Happiness <3 <3 <3
Mooooooorning RanMan, happy Mother’s Day!
And unlike Clinton, PBO did not benefit from the dot.com boom of the mid-90s
Exactly, Silicon Valley loved themselves some Bill Clinton.
The article that Eugene Robinson wrote the other day was a direct shot at the Clinton fantasy that had Bill as some sort of savior.
You play the cards your dealt. Clinton did alright.
Some people with the same or worse hand still do better than others. That’s my point here.
happy mother’s day to all the TOD mom’s
there is an interview on tim geithner in NYT. ALREADY there is a huge amount of commentary with folks saying what’s on their minds.
That picture makes the form Treasury Sec look old. The guy looks far better and much younger too.
Former. :oops:
Good Sunday Chipsticks…TODers!!!!
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers — mothers through giving birth as well as those who have taken on that role through their action(s). There is nothing like the love, sacrifice, encouragement and inspiration of mothers.
Everyone enjoy your day.
Good morning swbluega, happy Mother’s Day!
ha. no further explanation needed:
I hope that he is managing his illness well.
Be well Mr. Spock.
Son leaves this afternoon to go back to LA. If you hear reports of flooding at a Harrisburg, PA airport, you’ll know it’s me saying goodbye. I hate departures.
Oh Jackie :-(
I’m with you. Two of the hardest words in the English language are “hello” and “goodbye”.
This is why we say it as in France - au revoir
awwwwwwwww Jackieeeee….((huggs))
Good morning TOD family. Chipsticks, what a fine deep precious post. So touched. Had to think about the first one: who is that woman I wondered. Then I realized who the joyful little guy is, and then I got it. Beautiful. She gave our country and the world a priceless gift. Adore the second picture two. Two great wonderful generous moms, still blessing their families and ours. I love this. Gratitude to all who ‘mother’. It’s a verb!
Ah, love them too Nancie - have a wonderful Mother’s Day!
Our President and First Lady were truly blessed with wonderful mothers. Wish PBO’s mom had lived to see him become president. I’m sure he misses her every day. Have a wonderful one, Nancie.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms and grandmoms in TODville. Although today is your day, you’re being in the world changes everything every day. Standing O.
The future president looks like his mommy. (eyes especially)
Happy Mother’s Day, TOD. All the mommies, have a great day!
Thank you, GoB! I love the freshness of that flower, plus the fact that it hasn’t reached its ‘prime’ yet. :grin:
{{GoB}} Wishing you and all the other aunties, a great Mother’s Day too (being a good aunty is ‘mothering’ too, IMO)!
Thanks, VC!!
The New York Times has a very interesting article up about Timothy Geithner.
So it seems that Larry Summers suggested to President Obama that the administration should nationalize the big banks, well ain’t that a kick in the nads. And all this time the emoprogs and professional lefters were calling President Obama and Summers water-carriers for Wall Street.
so bt, whatchugonnnado after today? #nomorefutbol.
I’ll be in remote control training for the World Cup, there’s no end to it!
so which team are you rooting for?
Pls don’t say brazil.
Brazil. Na! Not Argentina’s biggest fan, but would love to see Messi a World Cup winner.
Good. Go Brazil.
Booooooooooo!
you left out the yah at the end.
:-)
Whatever team that Pele plays for is the team that I’m rooting for. I hope Pele scores the winning goal.
:lol: Like the GOP Don, you’re lost in time!!
LOL!
Haha—-one of my daughter’s cards said “None of your kids are in prison————that’s a motherhood blue ribbon right there”. (have 3 great gals, none of whom gave us more than a couple moments of distress—-very fortunately) Happy Mom’s Day to all mom types here and especially to my 96 yr. old mom who is still kicking and dating in Florida.
Dotster - your mom sounds amazing!
I have not seen the picture of President Obama and his Mother. https://twitter.com/Lnonblonde/status/465476099741196288
It has been posted here before.
It is also in a Video…..I think that featured Maya, the president’s sister, posted her months ago.
He means President of the water-gulping show at the annual State Fair…
Well bless his heart.
I’m sorry but it the idea of Marco Rubio meeting with the G7 world leaders just does not compute.
LOL, well since you put it that way.
You’re right Don, bless his heart cause he will not ever be President. He can be ready all he want.
Mind boggling if he truly thinks that.
Lol! He dreams big dreams, eh?
The Only answer Rubio could have given to maintain being asked another day.
The smarter question would have been……What makes you think you are presidential material and please specifically list your qualifications.
Good Sunday Morning TOD and a very Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms ! It is absolutely beautiful here in Baltimore this morning. My eldest son, very pregnant daughter in law- due next month and my two gorgeous grandkids came by early this morning and we just sat on the porch enjoying the sunshine :)
I keep checking @BarackObama’s TL just to see when he posts his Mother’s Day wish - just so that I can fave and retweet. :) He hasn’t posted it yet. I guess he’s busy right now making FLOTUS breakfast!
I imagine Malia and Sasha helping.
I was suppose to say Malia and Sasha are helping.
Thanks for posting this Meta. I have the audiotape of this book and I love listening to it.
That is PRICELESS. <3 it Amk.
First let me wish our wonderful First Lady a Happy Mother’s Day.
Happy Mother’s Day to everyone.
Happy Mother’s Day to Mrs. Robinson too, Michelle’s mom.
Good morning Chips and TOD, and Happy Mother’s Day to all Mothers.
