Hey Tally! Congrats on First girlfriend đ
Thanks babe!!! đ đ đ
â
Iâm waiting for the program to begin…
Who wouldnât love a fresh salad from FLOTUSâ gardens?? Mmmm…
Yummy!
đ
Uh Oh. đ đ
Oh NW, do you know anything about this???
http://www.latinopost.com/articles/18851/20150603/grey-s-anatomy-scandal-creator-shonda-rhimes-set-to-publish-first-novel.htm
Shonda Rhimes, the woman behind hit dramas, “Greyâs Anatomy” and “Scandal,” among others, has something in store for her avid followers.
The multi-awarded writer, director and producer will publish her first novel in November this year.
Yup, I sure do.
OMG!!
Thereâs FLOTUS
Oh lord, some of those children are using knives đŻ
GGail I saw the same thing, letâs hope everything goes okay and there is a an adult near them to watch over them.
annieb, looks like everything turned out A-Okay!. They are now back at the tables and preparing to eat the salads that they just put together.
I just had my lunch, but I want some of what theyâre having đŚ
GGail looks like all was well with the knives.
Yep, all is well annieb
Congrats Tally on your Auâ
I am happy to hear that TX is breathing a Tad easier……..from Rain and Flood.
This is what happens when the people elect Democrats to lead them.
Congrats to Gov. Wolf(D.)
Did he learn from reading what Willard Romney used to do…..Minus the drunkenness?
I would have been picked up in the past myself, if thatâs against the law. As would many others Iâve seen. Unbelievable.
This was in Mississippi, not Texas….and it is ridiculous.
I just attended my sonâs H.S. Graduation ceremony in a big arena. All the AA families were very vocal when their Grad took the stage. Fog horns, etc. so were the Hispanic families very boisterous. Some of the white folk clapped loudly, screamed and blew a fog horn as well. My RWNJ in-laws were in attendance and I thought their heads were going to blow every time one of the proud families made some noise in celebration. They also commented how many more Hispanics there were in his class compared to my eldest sonâs graduation 7 years ago from the same school. What a bunch of wet farts they are. Wish theyâd have just stayed home! I, however, made sure to point out how many of those AA and Hispanic students graduated with honors and pointed out most of them had the extra white sash on their gowns indicating “honor students”. Bigots, they are my in-laws. RWNJ bigots! Ugh!
How on earth does one become a Billionaire…….working for a Company you do NOT own? This can ONLY happen in an unrealistic “Capitalism” world.

Congratulations to Tally and love to FLOTUS for having those special kids help harvest the garden.
Nice afternoon with FLOTUS.
It is so wonderful to see these children sitting down at tables in the White House and having conversation and a meal with the First Lady of the United States.
We need to cherish and commit these occurrences to memory. Thank you FLOTUSâ¤
THE OBAMAS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO HAVE BOTHERED TO SHOW THEIR RESPECT AND LOVE FOR NATIVE AMERICAN HERITAGE…IF IT WERENâT FOR OUR ENERGIZER PRESIDENT…ALOT OF THINGS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE FOR OUR BELOVED FIRST AND I DO MEAN ‘FIRSTâ AMERICANS. DONâT GET ME STARTED…I CARRY A HEAVY SOAPBOX ON THIS ONE!
I SENT THE BIDEN FAMILY A CARD TODAY…GOT INTO IT AT THE POST OFFICE THE OTHER DAY…THEY KNOW HERE THAT I SEND CARDS TO THE WH…WE HAD A SPAT OVER OBAMACARE AND THE NEED TO HELP THE LESS FORTUNATE….I KNOW WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO STICK THEIR STAMPS!
That was so lovely. And as she was leaving, the childrenâs began saying “Goodbye Mrs. Obama”
It was nice GGail.
Thanks annieb for sharing the luncheon with me. I enjoyed your companyâ¤
Iâm so sorry we werenât able to join in with FLOTUS and the kids and have what they were having.
Sharing it here with you was the next best thing annieb
FLOTUS was really generous with her time and her energy. They had a really nice salad with soba noodles and an apple for dessert. Iâm sure this will be a great memory for them all.
Tamir Rice death is FINALLY going to a Grand Jury
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/probe-police-death-boy-12-now-prosecutors-hands-31503291
The investigation into the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old black boy holding a pellet gun by a white Cleveland patrolman was turned over Wednesday to a county prosecutor, who will ask a grand jury to determine if criminal charges should be filed against the officer.
Cuyahoga County Sheriff Clifford Pinckney said his department conducted an “extensive, thorough and unbiased” investigation into the shooting of Tamir Rice outside a recreation center on Nov. 22.
Tamir was shot by rookie patrolman Timothy Loehmann within two seconds of a police cruiser skidding to a stop nearby. He died the next day.
Loehmann and his partner were answering a 911 call about someone waving a gun. Tamir had been playing with an airsoft-type gun that shoots non-lethal plastic projectiles.
I hope they have enough votes to over ride a veto because The Governor said he would veto it. Creep.
I thought about tweeting Rick Santorum that heâs not worth the street dirt on the bottom of the Popeâs papal slippers, but Pope Francis declined to wear the traditional papal shoes - in favor of his usual sturdy black oxfords. (Like any nerd with a chemical technicianâs degree would do.)
(After I looked up his degree for myself, I also learned Pope Francis was once a nightclub bouncer, before joining the seminary. Ha. In Vino Veritas, Iâd say.)
SANTORUM DOESNâT WANT TO UPSET THE CORPORATE KICKBACK APPLECART…NO RULES FOR BAD FUMES!
POPE to Santorum: Just leave…….
Holy shit. And we canât get a functional DNC to trounce these idiots?
WOW! But woman canât sue the sperm donor for emotional damages when he leaves her to raise the child by herself…..
OR THE GOPâS FILTHY…FILLED WITH GREED AND SELF CONSUMED ALL FOR MY OWN POCKET LIFESTYLE. GOD SEES THE HEART…NOONE CAN HIDE!
Having woman using birth control is too dangerous but a gun well thatâs just fine…….
Good Evening TOD. I hope everyone is having a good day. On my way to the Natâs BB game with the family and just wanted to leave this reminder.
Just amazing to me, charted in the Jacqueline OâBoomer trials, that one second after CNN moves away from any Presidential campaign announcement - this time, Chafeeâs - MSNBC follows suit immediately. The Pack It Is Strong.
Still going on C-SPAN. Lincoln Chafee now taking questions and answering them quite well.
Gov. Chafee Supports PBOâs Trade plans.
But he wants Ed Snowden released from prison.
His detailed and precise objections to not only Iraq War and Bush but a hearty condemnation of all neo-liberal and neo-conservative war mongering.
i doubt this sincere man stands a chance but I am listening.
Thanks, Vicki.
If true, I see we didnât miss much.
Thatâs what the headliner is?
Mine would be “Look out war criminals and Senators who voted for the Iraq War then, and take vast sums from military supply manufacturers now.”
In fairness, I heard him later on one of the shows talk about the fact that “any Democrat who voted for the Iraq War should not be our nominee as President, since it was the worst-ever decision,” or something like that. Good for him.
THIS!! I was living in Canada in the early 70âs when the metric system was adopted. It was brilliantly done: everything was ready, the public was given ample notification for the changeover. When it launched, that day all the english system went away, overnight, and there was no option but to see everything in metric. Of course, the Canadians, being as adorable and flexible as they are, rolled with it, not one complaint. And, voila, there was the metric system, in place. KaBoom! EasyPeasey.⤠Canada
I found it so hard MP - I still measure length in feet/inches - seem to manage with the rest of it.
This country is too stubborn and too stupid to learn something new or different especially if EUROPE is doing it. We canât have high speed rail in this country and they want to bring in the metric system. I remember when they were talking about that back in the 70âs and all the RW pundits went bizerk.
I SAW HIS ANNOUNCEMENT…HE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME KNOCKING G.W. TO HIS SOX OVER IRAQ….I ENJOYED THAT!…:)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))….I DONâT KNOW HOW G.W. SLEEPS AT NIGHT…THERE MUST BE MOMENTS WHEN HELL IS QUIET!
Iâm not sure how G.W. sleeps at night, either. Unless he just has zero conscience.
SORRY I MISSED THIS…HOPE TO SEE LOTS OF PIX!!!!!…SUCH A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE FOR THESE CHILDREN…:)
Michelle is rocking a 60âs straight style. Love the way it frames her pretty face. How does she look younger as she ages?

hahahahaha
had just finished listening to this and was giving a heads up as you loaded these clips - I should have known you would be on top of this
PBO conducted an interview with NPRâs program Market Place
I listened to it on the way home this evening and it was very informative.
I missed the ceremony yesterday, but I didnât realize this new revelation of one of the recipients yesterday:
With Medal of Honor award, family learns WWI hero wasnât kin http://news.yahoo.com/medal-honor-award-family-learns-wwi-hero-wasnt-044541683.html
“ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) â Two days before President Barack Obama announced a posthumous Medal of Honor for black World War I soldier Henry Johnson, a family got staggering news about the legacy of heroism that had inspired them for generations and through three wars. They werenât related to Johnson by blood after all. A U.S. Army general visited Tara Johnson last month with word that Henry Johnson was not her grandfather, and that her father, World War II Tuskegee airman Herman Johnson, was not the heroâs son. “Dadâs birth certificate didnât have Henry on it,” she told The Associated Press in an interview this week. The name of the man listed on the document found by Pentagon researchers vetting Johnsonâs lineage was one relatives had never heard mentioned as the father. “All we have ever known is Henry Lincoln Johnson,” she said. “My family is going through an identity crisis; this shocked our foundation.”She said theyâre at a loss to explain what had been a given for so long. Her father spoke warmly of Henry Johnson, recalling his sense of humor and trips to the park as a boy before the life of the man he knew as his father began to fall apart and the family broke up…continued”
Researching family history is fraught with such discoveries - family folklore often becomes what was wanted rather than what was.
This is for DUDETTE!!

A ruling against the Affordable Care Act could end insurance subsidies for millions of people who live in the 37 states - including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware - that rely on the federal marketplace. The 13 that set up state marketplaces two years ago would not be affected.
Pennsylvania on Tuesday became the only additional state to announce that it had applied to set up an exchange by Mondayâs federal deadline.
