Just burned my mouth taking a sip of coffee, so, yes, I do understand what it's like when a loved one betrays you.

Koalas!!
Marsupials!!
:) YES THEY ARE!!
I can’t believe it, Hopefruit and SheriffFruitfly have voted with you :roll:
Thank yoooooooou Legend Nerdy!!!
Get a clue, woman! I paid them to do that:) That, and if promise you, if you stare long enough….
Thank you, Hopefruit and SheriffFruitfly :)
Maybe the ears…George has koala ears…
It is the inscrutable look df - definitely a resemblance
Thank you, my dear! See, Chips! Thanks for taking such good care of our President, 99:)
He came and went so quickly df - and the reality is we don’t “do guns” in this part of the world - it is a relatively safe place - getting pee’d on by a koala would be the worst that might happen.
What oh what oh what has DF done to you all? You are seeing Koalas in George Shultz. Waiter? A brandy please.
Facts is facts, Chipster! Georgie looks like a koala….they have spoken:)
Congrats df :)
NW!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
And, there’s this …
Thanks, Bob.
:)
Great steps, MP! You crossed the threshold with koala-loving Desertf.
And on my steenkin’ iPhone too! It’s about to die of natural causes built in by apple apple apple, and so is my iPad! All causing me to rethink apple apple apple, planned obsolesence, just like the auto industry. It’s all about profit, eh?
Grrrr, don’t start me MightyP, I’ve had nothing but trouble with my iPhone, having had to return its predecessor - was told it was just one of 10,000 in the world that had a battery that might explode. I was very proud :???: So, the current one has been acting up too. Agonized over whether to get another iPhone, finally decided I would, but if this one causes me trouble: NEVER again!
Now MP, you know apples, kept too long, will rot! Sorry to hear yours chose now though. Is your car back in play, at least?
Oh! My car - the poor mechanic who fixed it, was determined to find out why his repair work kept failing (3x) and I swear he has put an extra 20 hours labor plus extra parts into it, rewired a whole buncha stuff, refused to charge me (which I couldn’t have paid anyway) and I rode back and forth on the buses for three weeks in a row, as he had to keep the car overnight twice! Ai Yai Yai! Had me wishing I could get by without a car, but am not quite there yet.
So, is it ‘good as new’ now?
Yes.
Good! :)
Oh no No Chipsticks! I’m so barely-techie, I can fuss over anything, but my daughter who is Mega-High-Tech was finally so fed up (and singed with apple) she researched phones, settled in an LG G3, and is in love with phones again! I don’t think having a 1-in-a-million phone which can catch fire in your ear is a great selling point! But I’ve been hesitant ever since reading that the Chinese kids who work in Apple factory have to sign an agreement not to commit suicide while working there, as some have been known to trowel themselves from the top of the factory roof. Hello. Hesitant, is mild, really;
that haunts me every day.
Lol. Thanks Nerdy. Congrats desert flower
You’re welcome, Vetivera.
Welcome home, Mr. President! Even though CBS spelled “President” (Presineet) wrong….you really ARE neat! Guess this is kinda like when they thought “Obamacare” was going to be a bad thing:) Karma, baby!
Also too - heads up for Leonids meteor showers November 17, 2025 @ 15 meteors/hour. (caveat - skies must be clear enough for visibility!) <3
These tweets are an absolute hoot, but I can TOTALLY relate to the leaves one, had EXACTLY that thought today as I struggled to open the door because of the flippin’ mountain of them outside!!
Our trees are evergreen - the leaves do not fall - except - we are again in the midst of a drought & our lawn that used to be is nothing but dead leaves. We don’t do raking up leaves - I’ve not seen this before - even in the last drought we got rain that kept the leaves on the trees! Now all we get are massive storms that may/maynot bring some rain.
But there is no climate change in Australia
Oh heck 99ts, I couldn’t be handling those massive storms, I’d take infuriating falling leaves over them any day. When I rule the world I will ban those storms, but I’ll give you as much rain as you like - I’ll ship it over from Ireland.
We need the water - if you can make it come in ways other than storms - I shall vote for your leadership
Oh, NW, you needn’t have bothered adding tweets to your lol list. You had me at ” - My Roommate” - Ha!
:)
My President looks fine. Just fine.
DF probably think he looks like a kangaroo :roll:
Actually he does… :) :) But he STILL looks fine…
job well done, mr president! your grateful nation welcomes you home!
Our president has his eyes on the prize now-a hug from Michelle. Bet she just wants to shut out all the imbeciles and be with the ones he loves. That’s what it really means to come “home.”
:-) Exactly, Jackie!
Yes! Rest well, beloved leader of the new world order! Thank you, and May God Bless!
perfect. Absolutely perfect. But I’ll have some fun, too! ;)
Why not?
Off to snuggle in…a little nippy tonight…see you all tomorrow:)
Goodnight you, don’t let the koalas bite.
:lol: The ultimate dream!!!!
Whatever floats the boat, eh! :lol:
LMAO! I wish!
You gotta believe! :)
A lady was walking down the street to work and she saw a parrot on a perch in front of a pet store.
The parrot said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.” Well, the lady is furious!
She stormed past the store to her work.
On the way home she saw the same parrot and it said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.” She was incredibly ticked now.
The next day the same parrot again said to her, “Hey lady, you are really ugly.”
The lady was so ticked that she went into the store and warned she would sue the store and kill the bird. The store manager replied profusely and promised he would make sure the parrot didn’t say it again.
When the lady walked past the store that day after work the parrot called to her, “Hey lady.”
She paused and said,”Yes?”
The bird said, “You know.”
:D :D :D
I just fell over. :)
HAHa.. :) :)
:) :) Laugh to start off my Monday.
Wise man ….
Some people are slipping out the side door to see if they can get a-hold of some sleep. Night, y’all!
Hope you have a restful night, VC
Thank you, Bobfr! ;) It’s been so restful so far that I signed off, and signed back on. I’m actually really going to go read now though. That mostly always works as a sedative. :grin:
:D
Toodle-di-doo (waited for your response before departing tonight)! I’m outta here this very minute now. :grin:
:D :D :D
See Alice
This front pager has wonderful posts on the ACA - if you haven’t read any of them - here is the latest

That is a wonderful tribute to all the work of countless caring Americans to ensure that it would be as easy as possible for their fellow Americans to obtain affordable health care.
Thank you 99!

Time is like a river.
You cannot touch the water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life. As a Bagpiper, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the Nova Scotia back country.
As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost and, being a typical man, I didn’t stop for directions.
I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch. I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.
The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man. And as I played “Amazing Grace”, the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished, I packed up my bagpipes and started for my car. Though my head was hung low, my heart was full.
As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothing like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”
Apparently I’m still lost…

This is beautiful Bob. Thank you for sharing it here.
extraordinary-thanks bobfr!
So glad you enjoyed it, MadameSoph & Susanne!
Got home 90 min ago and just caught up on the epic, thorough and wonderful weekend TOD posts! Thanks to Chips, Nerdy and all contributors for following PBO’s trip so beautifully! I also listened to the Press Conf after you all praised our Pres for his epic answers to the disrespectful (not only to PBO but the G20) press core and I must say that was sooooo worth it! :-) PBO was masterful - not taking any s#!t
Sooooo very cheered up since Nov 4th!
AhHa! Looking ahead a few days, I see a birthday coming up for someone we know well and love greatly: one very special Joseph R. Biden Jr, this Thursday 11/20/14. Born 1942. Party up, all!! Balloons! Ribbon streamers, hats, and CAKE!! with candles! And Balloons!! :) <3
I’d forgotten VP Biden is a Scorpio. That explains the 2012 debate with Paul Ryan :-) He definitely seems to have some Sag influence in his personality, though, don’t you think, MP?
Will pull up his chart tomorrow, madamesoph, but without a birth time, can guess. The inner planets are often in the sign ahead this late in a cycle.
All done in for today. Blessed to have our POTUS home, he makes for great wallpaper! <3 :bear: (not koala!) <3
Of all the hundreds of incredible photos Chipsticks and NW have treated us to this week, the one I found myself gazing at over and over (and over) is the Burmese sunset from the steps onto AF1. Maybe PBO had a hard time pulling himself away from that Light! With PBO's silhouette against the sky, and the structure of the plane, Mr Pete Souza stepped into photographic immortality! Many blessings all around, goodnight. He's Home.
“Maybe PBO had a hard time pulling himself away from that Light! With PBO’s silhouette against the sky, and the structure of the plane, Mr Pete Souza stepped into photographic immortality!”
Agree with you, MP!
I want OFA to reincarnate as #ObamaForAmerica and persist for decades ….
#BackBarack
Yes We Will
good night TOD
Morning!! Anyone home?? PBO does NOT look like a kangaroo. Geesh!
Morning, Df!
Morning, vc:) I’m not alone! Do you ever sleep?
:grin: In 1-2hr snatches, and with an ear on any action/movement nearby.
Morning, tnmtngirl! Sorry about the yucky weather…for me, just a little nippier than normal but should be sunny today. Just like everyday.
Good grief! Sorry vc….this is for tnmtngirl:) So, you don’t get good sleep, huh? One ear open is NOT good sleep:)
‘sunny today. Just like everyday.’
One of the joys of living in AZ? Enjoy - it’s looking like I’ll need to put on my snow tires sooner rather than later. Hate doing so so early in November; makes winter seem way too long!
Morning to both of you. I’m usually at the Y this time of day, but weather is so yucky, I didn’t go out. Good day to all!
Morning, TnMG! I won’t mention weather as I’m looking out the window at a ‘winter wonderland’ that I do not consider in the least bit wonderful on Nov. 17th!
Bounds up the steps of AF1 in a fashion that could be mistaken for same
Moooooooooooooorning!

Good morning, DF, VC, and TN! May you ladies have a very Blessed day!
