Old ladies deserve Mother's Day way more because back when they had kids, dads did nothing.

The blood of young people supposedly helps older people feel better. I hope Craigslist takes my ad.

Getting to be my favourite time
Yay!
Yay to you for picking out the best NW
Thanks, Vetivera24. Glad you enjoyed them.
Hi vetivera - congrats on Number 1
Thanks 99ts.
At my age it’s the best way to put a smile on my face before bed
Glad to help you in that endeavor
I knew it! I was waiting for the thread to drop, I could feel it coming, then got utterly lost wandering around trying to find y’all! Now I’m all worn out, so a bientot! What a marvelous Mother’s Day it has been! Work tomorrow, must sleep!
Love that. Obviously, she has a son. #BeenThere
Oh why didn’t I ever think of that one
:-)
Now to the important news of the day: the NBC miniseries of Rosemary’s Baby sucks.
Glad I missed it!
The movie was excellent and creepy.
The movie (and the book) were both excellent. This remake made it just a run of the mill menacing horror movie. The characters that were interesting in the book and movie, screamed “WITCH!” in this version. Jason Isaacs, whom I love as an actor, was forced to do a modern version of his Harry Potter villain character. Everything that made Rosemary’s Baby unique, they got rid of. Very disappointed.

Great selection, as always, NW!! Thank you.
BTW, Ukraine ain’t playing #TzarVlad’s game …. not.at.all ….
Stanching #TzarPutin’s (and stupid echo chamber media’s) propaganda ….
bbl … time to prepare some dinner :)
I don’t plan to waste more than a minute on this person … but if you want to look vicious in the face, here it is.

That’s pure unadulterated racist hate - I hope it is burning her up inside
The hatred shows.
I see some on Twitter are taking off after her, putting other signs in her hands. I don’t intend to add to it.
And I’d like to know what happened to my computer recently - I NEVER delete cookies (other than particular places), yet every passworded site I have been visiting for eons wants me to “sign in”. I cannot believe how many passwords I have forgotten.
I personally hate passwords because I always forget them, especially for places I don’t go regularly. Each time I go to one work related site I have to have them send me a new password link. Of course, I try to avoid it as much as possible as I get quite embarrassed; they are one of those places continually telling you to change your password regularly for safety reasons - yeah! :roll:
I don’t save mine anywhere cause that is bad security. I used to use only 2 all over the net (except for the banking) but my hotmail got hacked & I then panicked and changed everything. Most sites remember for ever so I never use them again - but the last week has been a disaster - and I’ve had to reset them all over the place.
I understand exactly. I’ve restricted myself to three, and even so at times I have problems remembering which is where!
NW - So I guess now there’s a spin-off/rip-off of @TheTweetOfGod? Just got followed by @tweetIikeagod …
I’ll stick with the “original” !

“I know a little bit about the way Trey Gowdy pursues oversight. I was on the other end of it when I was setting up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and I was called to testify before the House. As the Huffington Post reported at the time, Gowdy’s interrogation of me “seemed to lack the basic facts” about the agency he was attempting to oversee.”
…..
“As a Senator, I take oversight seriously because it is powerfully important. But Trey Gowdy gives oversight a bad name. The House GOP is on a waste-of-time-and-resources witch hunt and fundraising sideshow, shamefully grasping for any straw to make President Obama, former Secretary Clinton, or Secretary Kerry look bad. This stunt does a disservice to those who serve our country abroad, and it distracts us from issues we should be taking up on behalf of the American people.”
Is this anywhere in the media - or only on Sen Warren’s website?
thanks amk - you be my “convert into twitter” person today. Elizabeth Warren, like Rachel Maddow, understands how to investigate a subject.
I’m still turning up the volume and closing my eyes during this song from my youth! Ahh, the drama. :)
Goodnight, guys! Sleep well!
The Old, Blind Cowboy
An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.
After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, “*Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?”*
The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.
In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, ‘Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things:
1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.
2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.
3. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter.
5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.
Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?’
The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, ‘No, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.’
Good Night, TOD family. Love to all of my beautiful family here. You all are such wise, caring, and brilliant minds. Goodness going forth for our President and his Cabinet for the upcoming week. Please keep him in your prayers and meditative space.
We love you and all that you are doing for all of us, Mr. President. We will continue to work hard to get you a Congress that will help you and not obstruct everything that you are trying to do for this nation. May you be granted wisdom, protection, loving thoughts, and a patient heart to keep you moving FORWARD. We are here for you, Mr. President. HZ
Good night TOD ….

Anybody in hiding?
No?….Okay, I’m gone to pretend to do some exercises for a few minutes - BRB. Am actually planning to take the car in to remove my snow tires today (even if CarolMae is showing pics of snowfalls - so there, CarolMaae!!!).
Hello vc - just popping in while I finish the taxes - only a month late - rather good for me
Enjoy your day
Now you had to go remind me about the taxes! Grrrr! ;) Mine is only about a week late, but I feel guilty because I need to give my (student) son my net income so that he can complete *his* taxes. His would have been done on time (likes to follow rules) but he’s waiting on me, and I haven’t felt the urge to do mine yet. I admit I drive the lad crazy on matters such as this, and he drives me crazy by constantly asking me if I have the info for him!
Hellooooooo, 99TS! :)
I really think I’d better go do my stretches BEFORE I settle in here. See you later. :grin:
Thanks for the info and links you posted last night, 99. What a shame you have to deal with the rwnjs, but your country does have us as a shining example of how far they will go if not throttledintheirsleep, figuratively speaking of course.
We seem to be on the way Lynn - sigh - but now I will take your suggestion and have a cup of tea - solves all problems :)
I add a little fresh mint to mine, 99. It helps settle the stomach and mellows my rather nasty temper.
I’ve learned so much from all of you and appreciate how much you share.
It’s a lovely place here Lynn & I also have learned so much from the posters :)
As for tea - I like it hot - with milk and a little sugar. When I visited the states moons ago, I ordered a tea and was served up ice tea - I had never heard of such a thing! A delightful lady told me I had to order “hot tea with half and half”!
In my world regardless as to what is troubling one - the solution on offer is always a hot cup of tea.
I’m poking around, vc. Just sat down with a cup of tea for a few minutes. Actually, procrastinating like hellllll. Gotta pay bills today. YUCK.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Gooooood Moooooorning TOD!
Mooooooorning!
