No way??
Yup :cool: Thank you humongously Nerdy, another OUTSTANDING tweet collection!
Your reward - this now very famous anti-gay-marriage man who appeared on Irish TV last night, and didn’t quite say what he intended.
I promise, not all Irish men look and sound like him. Think of Colin Farrell.
wow. as a liberal, i first felt a little sad for him when he didn’t realize why people were laughing, but then he gets back up and goes insane. what a disturbed dude. gotta say…guy has some hints of being closeted himself, which sometimes explains freak-outs like this. yikes!
Possibly the most bonkers creature I’ve ever seen, 4More - the very lovely thing is that he is a laughing stock in Ireland, time was he’d have represented a majority view. No more, thank heavens!
This is your last chance - I want petals.
#demanding
Much better. Although they look a bit withered - did you get them cheap?
pick, pick, pick.
you fault you put that a jar of gin.
No, no - this is the one in the gin:
LOL.
furst. The real one.
I’ll sneeze in to your hot milk if you’re not careful.
I know. See above.
Misty Copeland. DAYUM!
Of all the tweets in all the towns in all the world, your eye was drawn to that one :-)

The new King of Saudi Arabia is cleaning the House of Saud?
I read that he was not well and had a poor attention span…..the story read that he was so ill that his mind was deteriorating.
Now, he is cleaning house? Hoping for the best for all 28M or so.
NW, these Tweets are Brilliant.
Job well done.
Just finished listening to POTUS. The Q&A were not included…..C-SPAN.
Thanks, Nena.
I’ll join you, Chips….I need a nose mitten. I’m either suffering from allergies or a cold….nasty.
Thanks a lot, bt.
I am staying outta this infested place.
Ooooooh {{DF}}}, we shall suffer together, and then emerge blinking in to a new non-sneezy day!
Yes, let’s! I just feel…how shall I put this? Shitty. Just shitty. I will have a bite to eat, and go to bed early tonight…Supposed to rain all day tomorrow..should really complete the shitty feeling I’m having when I have to be out in the cold rain. Nose mitten, slug of Nyquil. Out cold. That’s my plan.

Hay I’m one of those 47% were Mitt talk about like we were worthless bums, like we were scums of the earth, like all we wanted was a free handout, now all of a sudden because he and Ann want to get in the White House, they realize that they care about us scums. What a caring man Mitt is. NOT!!!!!!!
Danny’s furst proper-ish snow - and he’s VERY confused and giddy about it all:

The still video makes him look like he’s a space dog on a planet in outerspace….the eyes, the ground. Ooooooh :shock:
Is that young FLOTUS in that picture of a little girl standing on her head?
I know that’s young POTUS playing in the water.
Yes, it is!
Which means that approximately 23% of Pennsylvanians are liars, including 35% of Republicans. The other 1% were those that got married.
:lol: Weirdest thing EVER!!!! But I’m holding on tighter to Danny tomorrow just in case I meet her!
#danny is a tail chaser?

I loved it when POTUS told the Dems that they have to go on the offense and not be defensive about what they believe in. Dam you cowards fight, I said fight.

Evening Japa!
Evening beautiful. Took me a while to get down the thread. was stuck on the 20th tweet for a while.
You know me, math not great - the one about Delaware driver’s licenses I presume?
Absolutely.
I got it after I realized that he wasn’t being eaten by the keys :D “ATTACK of the SPACE KEYS!!!!” :D :D
Very proud to be RTed just under his other RT :???:
Chips: Not too late to help with your earlier problem, I hope.
Just replied to you, you bundle of loveliness - but, as I asked, where’s the hot whiskey??????
#neversatisfied
See, she’s peeved about the missing whiskey too!!
:grin: :grin: while smh
That’s your goal? smha >> I thought you wanted ‘cold’ suggestions.
Purely for medicinal purposes! Actually, I hate whiskey - can I have the hottest of hot gins instead?
Just squeeze a half lemon into the glass of warm water….. and go to bed!
O, don’t forget to drink it first.
pour warm water on the lemon, wipe the lemon and go to bed? got it.

Ah ha, speaking of which - got another reply from them about our mysterious @null friend:
Hi there,
As an update on this, it’s actually expected that Twitter show recommendations for who to follow in that window — although I don’t see them myself, Twitter mentions that they should be there in their developer documentation for the sharing button: https://dev.twitter.com/web/tweet-button (#3 under ‘user interaction’)
Now, as to why they’re always showing you this one random, inactive account, I do not know, but we can’t do anything about it on our end. It sounds like it might be a bug on Twitter’s end, though, so you might report it to them: https://support.twitter.com/
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need anything else. :)
Sounds like ‘passing the buck’ ….wouldn’t expect anything less from them!

Anyone watch Scandal?
Tnmtngirl, I am embarrassed to say I haven’t watched Scandal yet at all - but I am the person who watched West Wing, The Wire and Breaking Bad about two years after everyone else. :???:
Start binge watching Scandal from Season 1 on Netflix now and you will be caught up for the finale!
Do NOT encourage me Forus! When I started binge watching West Wing, The Wire and Breaking Bad, I didn’t get any fresh air for weeks!!
Lol yeah but if u have a cold it’s the perfect tonic. Call in sick and this show will make the hours fly by while u r recuperating in bed.
yes, I did. Too intense. Is Jake behind this whole thing do you think?
I have NO idea. I was lost the entire time. My daughter says that’s the point. Lot of comments I read on FB, everyone was lost and many were disappointed in this opening.
It. Was. Deliciously. INSANE!!!!
Be kind y’all. We West Coast folks have a couple more hours
