Hey NW, I stayed up last night to watch Empire, I’ve had one hella day and now I’m trying so hard to stay awake for TGIT. :-)
Thanks for all of the information - it helps to see what I missed today!
You’re welcome, GGail.
Your jaw will be dropping all over the place after watching Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder. :D
PBO has his “presidential” face on
I was just thinking the same thing!! Pres Xi is probably thinking, can’t we just go for a walk? LOLz.
Inorite? :D :D
meta, did you know this?
There were over 1.3 million tweets sent during last night’s #Empire s2 premiere making it the #1 most tweeted broadcast drama series ever 🎉
I heard there were 16 million viewers. Wow, as our VP would say , that’s a BFD.
And I was one of the 16 million viewers last night - :D :D :D
I need to stop talking to you all if I’m gonna take a nap….and wake up at 9pm (hush jojo!)
LO
LOL
I did see a tweet about that. So they’ve really beat Scandal on twitter!
We’ll know Scandal’s results in the morning
Congrats GGail, 1) for staying up late 2) Again tonight too 3) Being Furst
For Xmas you need to drop hints for a dvr :) :) :)
Thanks sister jojo! Yes, that would be an excellent Xmas gift (hint hint) :D
Maybe I’ll take a nap now and set an alarm for 9pm - that way I’ll not see y’alls comments now that you guys have just finished viewing Scandal :D
I’m not saying a word. Well, one-intense! That’s nothing new for that show and gives nothing away. 😄😘
Thanks tnmtngirl for showing restraint <3
I am not even looking at NW's tweets on the sidebar :D
I am taking bets GGail sleeps through the alarm, $5…anyone want in on this action? :) :) :)
HHAHAHAHAHAHA - you are sooooooo wrong jojo!!!!
Good item on our ABC news site
http://www.abc.net.au/religion/articles/2015/09/25/4319374.htm
“Without departing from this long tradition of Catholic social teaching, Pope Francis has made economic injustice and concerns with environmental degradation a point of signal emphasis, calling on faithful and non-Catholics alike to connect the tenets of their faith to the decisions they make about consumption, waste and, ultimately, how those decisions translate into political choices.
Francis’s call has unhinged conservatives who have grown accustomed to assuming that the Pope was just a Republican in a white robe. It has most deeply revealed that Catholic and social conservative support was desirable so long as those Catholics believed that the only real relevant political issue that should be considered when voting was whether a politician was pro-life.”
Phyllis Anne I agree, the President must be so proud of his family.. how Beautiful they are!!
how the hell should I know?
Hitting the gin early, I see.
More than a year since I touched that vile stuff.
:O

This one’s for MightyPamela, just before this weekend’s lunar eclipse…
MP likes this, very much. Thanking you, Arapaho! :)
Some folks were tweeting about Shepard One changed from AirItalia to American airlines — see aircraft in arrival at NYC. (Sorry I don’t know how to paste pics). Trivia: AirItalia is his transportation to other countries HOWEVER his return flight is always always the host counties airlines. Im wondering when he leaves will it be on a USAirforce custom jet which h State department uses, smaller but similiar to Airfotce TWO which dignitaries use.
You’ll have to verify via Google but I’m 99% certain that the custom with all countries. The pope hitches a ride home via host countries.
Okay, I know I really need that nap.
I looked at this picture and read the names of the people walking back to the WH and I thought to myself “where’s the Chinese President?”, this group looks like the Mafia with PBO as the Don and they’re walking back from the assignment…then it dawned on me that the Chinese Prez must be residing at Blair House.
The imagination is a powerful thing :D :D :D
now that Don illusion made me laugh out loud;
yes, it is time for you to hit the pillow
More on stroll to Blair House:
I lived over the bridge in NJ but, true confessions, I pronounce it “wooder,” too. #ProudOfIt

Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder had everyone like this:
What a FANTASTIC return. Bravo, Shonda Rhimes!
we all know how vile today’s gop is.
but I was hoping that just this once, these hate-mongers and loud-mouths would constrain themselves and not attack the Pope so viciously for proclaiming what are principle teachings (doctrine) of the religion he leads.
a number of people may disagree with some of the conservative stands … but for heaven’s sake the Pope is a visitor in this nation and what he says is something he has alluded to in the past;
well, I was hoping for too much ….given the extremism of this gop;
I wonder what the conservative catholic clergy, that has been so vocal in their support for the gop, feel now - whose side are they on?
aaand I am outta here.
Uckey! I won’t share a glass with anyone — not even the Pope! And, the article says he did the same thing at PBO’s first inauguration… nasty…
Uck is an understatement. How revolting.
Democrats have their “nutjobs,” too - looks like. Yuck.
Creepy and yucky!
Who Hooo, I’m awake!!!
So am I - 2pm in my world - I’m thinking to have an afternoon nap :)
I know John Boehner invited the Pope to speak to the Congress, but PBO is a master at timing. My thoughts are he helped plan the Pope’s environmental topic and aligned with the Chinese President coming to announce his help right after the GOP’s rejection for climate change legislation. I chuckle at Donald’s rant that our President is not tough enough against China. Just goes to show being respectful is more powerful than might.
Hmm, you may be on to something there OG!
