Hello!
Hellooooooooooooooo No Child!!
Congrats NCLB on #1 :)
Congrats NCLB!
Awesome shirt, Dudette!
Thanks Judith!
Nice to see you in first, NCLB!
:)
Good Evening Chipsticks and TODVillagers!
Great happy Saturday evening!
Hey NCLB!! Hope you are feeling well on this first day of Summer!
Congrats Dudette for this awesome Twitter recognition :)
Thanks hf! :-)
LOL! It really is quite possibly the KEWLEST!!! :-D
:D
I was going to definitively say it was the kewlest, Dudette ….. but then I remembered that famous moment I was followed by the portable potty company. So, a tie?
Top 5 at least! :-D
THANKS CHIPS! :-D
I’m floating on a cloud!
Dudette!!!!
I leave for a minute and you’re just show out! You go girl!
Thanks GGail! A girl does what she can! :-)
It’s interesting how tightly aligned USMNT & Governor O’Malley are re: “I Believe” :)
Very astute observation Bob! Good point!
TY :)
Thought I’d share it with the Good Governor … see tweet, below :)
Pardon me for my ignorance; USMNT?
Hiya Sherry, it stands for United States men’s national (soccer) team.
Redux!
GET UP!! BELIEVE! Worth the redux!
:)
NICE! :-)
Woo Hoo! Fired Up!
Ready To Go!!!! {{{{{{{{{ Love you, Judith}}}}}}}}}}}HZ
Love you back, HZ!
Congrats Dudette, awesome recognition!!
Thanks andogriff!
Awesome sauce!
Cool Philly!
Dudette, you rock…..you earned twitter platinum.
Thank you, otter44! :-)
Good Lord, you cannot take your eyes off these :star: TODobots! I leave to go grocery shopping and come back to see my friend is now a celebrity - well another kind of celebrity because she has always been a star to us!!! I’d better go read up on the details. /muttering - TOD sure puts me in touch with a lot of famous stars, and/or professionals./
LMAO! What a day! :-D
Seems like it, though I’m still in the dark part of it. Anyhoo, do I need to go through your agent to give congratulatory hugs? Heck, forget the agent stuff - you are obviously pumped {{{{Dudette}}}} :) :)
Hugs welcomed, received and reciprocated my dear! {{{{ vc }}}}
Congratulations, Dudette! {Not sure yet for what, so off to find out what happened while I blinked.}
:-)
Thanks for whatever! :-D
twitter :star: :star: You done good cheering on your team, gurl! :) :)
Thankyew, thankyew verry muuuuuch! :-)
;)
He can win ….
Gosh, I sure hope so, Bobfr!

Oh, this is awful:
I’d be careful with this one, Chips. The part about having to ‘pay upfront’ in what is a clinically emergent situation such as what is being described raises a red flag.
Oh jeez, really Bob?
Not making any judgement, Chips, but something just doesn’t seem right. Hopefully, he’ll get the help he needs.
Okay, thanks Bob, always best to be wary, sadly.
My high is not in the stratosphere like Dudette, but my OFA team had a great #PutSolarOnIt event at the local community center today.
Excellent Judith, keep up the wonderful work!!
Thanks, Chips! I’m proud of my team and now have some new prospects. We have to keep our OFA issues organizing completely separate from working on partisan elections, like Jeff Merkley’s Senate re-election campaign (because of OFA’s current status as a 501-C-4), so it’s tricky to balance and wear different hats. OFA will not be involved in any partisan campaigns in the midterms, but trained volunteers can go take those skills to a campaign as individuals, not as OFA reps.
This is great, Judith. Congratulations!
Thanks, Jackie!
DUDETTE!!! Yikes, Yikes and YIKES!!! I’m a little bit in awe here, being as I am not a soccer fan. (can I still stay in TOD VIllage, having said that out loud?) (please?) :)
Haha!
Sshhhh… Don’t say it too loudly, but I only follow soccer on the periphery. Regular league play, not so much, but championships and World Cup, oh yeh! But no matter what, I always cheer the home team vigorously! USA! USA! USA! :-)
>-I >-I >-I
Cheers to @Dudette9t9
See you all Tomorrow.
Thanks Nena! [clink!] :-)
One last Twitpic.
Have a great Evening TOD Hamlet.
Congrats Dudette! Sweet recognition. You deserve it 110%.
Aw, thanks vetivera24!
I really love the motto: One Nation One Team. That says so much. It would be wonderful if people could realize we in this country ARE on team….we are all “on the same bus, going the same place.” One Team, united for the good of the country.
My husband came in while I was watching and listening to the Gov. Said he really liked what he heard, and a few minutes ago, out of a clear blue sky he said….”I liked that governor of Maryland.” That is amazing because he has not said that about ANYONE since 2004 and our beloved POTUS.
Your husband, no surprise since he’s married to you, is very insightful, Carolyn!
Thanks Bob. He is a darling. We have a great time together. He loves the info I find on TOD and read to him. Tuesday we will be married 48 years! When we got married, I couldn’t imagine being 48 years old…..passed that a long time ago.:-)
An advance Big Hug to both of you, Carolyn. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ Enjoy each moment with each other, Carolyn and Hubby.}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}HZ
Just finished reading Gov O’Malley;s speech. How about an awesome speaker, guitar toting singer, brilliant compassionate and practical man to follow the current star in the White House? #notforhiliary
Well, my birthday started with my 4 month old grandson taking me to breakfast and pretty much ended seeing the coolest tweet for dudette. WTG girl.
Happy Birthday John!!!! Seems you’ve had a wonderful day, judging by the ‘book ends’ :)
Well, you rascal - why no advance warning so I could bake you a cake?!
Hope you had a perfectly wonderful day, Japa - your birthday gift:
Better than any cake.
:-) Happy Birthday, Sir!
Happy birthday japa - a day starting with grandson can only be perfect.
Sounds like you have had a very Happy Birthday! May it be a wonderful year, Japa!
Happy Birthday! Hope you whole day was as good as the breakfast. What a precocious 4-month old!!
Another birthday already? You don’t seem a day older than last year, Japa! Wishing you many, many happy returns. :)
Hey, thanks and Happy Birthday japa! Awesome way to start the day!
he is so sexy. I love Ride or Die Joe Biden. I think he is sexier than PO (sorry TODers) but I do. :-) I love this man. Will ride with Biden and if he decides not to run, will go with O’Malley.
Go dudette.
Thanks amk! :-)
New post!

Congrats Dudette you are a superstar )
Happy Birthday Japa
I’m so proud of my fine Governor who gave a very good speech in Iowa today in support of the 2014 candidates.
WOW, this is awesome!!
Thank you so much Donna!
Love your Governor!
Love your terrific tweetage!
You ROCK!
Since we are ‘chatting away’, I’ll share what I found in my email today (remember I am one of those who only checks email when inspiration hits, and it rarely hits *me*). I got a chuckle from a few of these though. Here you go!
TITLE >>> I’m in a totally different World?
1) Recently, when I went to McDonald’s I saw on the menu that you could have an order of 6, 9 or 12 Chicken McNuggets, so I asked for a half dozen nuggets.
‘We don’t have half dozen nuggets,’ said the teenager at the counter.
‘You don’t?’ I replied.
‘We only have six, nine, or twelve,’ was the reply.
‘So I can’t order a half dozen nuggets, but I can order six?’
‘That’s right.’
So I shook my head and ordered six McNuggets
(Unbelievable but sadly true…) (must have been the same one I asked for sweetener and she said they didn’t have any, only splenda and sugar.)
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
2) I was checking out at the local Wal-Mart with just a few items and the lady behind me put her things on the belt close to mine. I picked up
one of those ‘dividers’ that they keep by the cash register and placed it between our things so they wouldn’t get mixed. After the young lad had
scanned all of my items, he picked up the ‘divider’, looking it all over for the bar code so he could scan it. Not finding the bar code, he said to me, ‘Do you know how much this is?’
I replied, ‘I’ve changed my mind; I don’t think I’ll buy that today.’
He said ‘OK,’ and I paid him for the things and left. He had no clue about what had just happened.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
3) I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. ‘Do you need some help?’ I asked. She replied, ‘I knew I should have replaced the battery to this remote door unlocker. Now I can’t get into my car. Do you think they (pointing to a distant convenience store) would have a battery to fit this?’
‘Hmmm, I don’t know. Do you have an alarm, too?’ I asked.
‘No, just this remote thingy,’ she answered, handing it and the car keys to me. As I took the key and manually unlocked the door, I suggested,
‘Why don’t you drive over there and check about the batteries. It’s a long walk….’
[At the same time I was thinking ‘PLEASE just go lay down before you hurt yourself !!’]
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
4) Several years [decades?] ago, we had an Intern who was none too swift. One day she was typing and turned to a secretary and said, ‘I’m almost out of
typing paper. What do I do?’
‘Just use paper from the photocopier’, the secretary told her. With that, the intern took her last remaining blank piece of paper, put it on the photocopier and proceeded to make five ‘blank’ copies.
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
5) A young parent calls 911 very worried asking the dispatcher if he needs to take his kid to the emergency room, the kid had eaten ants. The
dispatcher tells him to give the kid some Benadryl and he should be fine, whereupon the parent replies, ‘I just gave him some ant killer……’
Dispatcher: ‘Rush him in to emergency!’
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Life is tough. It’s even tougher if you’re stupid!!!! Someone had to remind me, so I’m reminding you too. Believe it or not….these are all true.
Dudett= AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you beautiful soul. HZ
Thank you my dear, HZ! I love you so much!
Happy Birthday, japa21. Love your beautiful grandson. What a beautiful day for you and your family. Thanks for sharing this beautiful reflection on such a great day for you. Enjoy continuously. HZ
