Okay, then.
:star: Anyone else?
Only you, Champion MP! :-D
:bear:
I can’t think of a person more deserving person, congrats No Child Left Behind. May the light of goodness shine on you, on all your days.
Oops, wrong person, congrats Mighty Pamela. You nourish our hungry souls, and you clear a path for our long journey, and shade us from the heat so that we can rest in comfort.
:) I was going to say - who dat?? thanks Don, it is always a pleasant surprise to stroll in, thinking you will never catch up, and find a brand new thread, shiny and sleek, just awaitin’ for a comment!
I’m beginning to think you’re the Pope, Don - are you?? :-)
Always nice to be blessed, eh, Chipsticks? :) Don does it so well! <3
And I still haven’t had a chance to share with you lot about my dream, featuring a class in astrology led by: HH Dalai Lama. Yes, it was he, and a few of us ~ we were eating curds, and he was asking about our eldest children. Then my daughter’s birth chart appeared in my brain, and I woke up. That was on the morning of the Equinox, maybe around 5 am PDT. I will tell you, I had a very good day that day!! :) <3 :bear:
He may be. Because Mo Rocca, the comedian, is the lector at the Pope’s mass in Madison Square Garden (listed on page 9), so …

:-) Mystery solved!!
Chips - Quick one: Is it Billy Joel that you don’t like? (I have a reason for asking.)
YES!!!!!!!!!! :evil:
Well, then, you’ll be happy to hear (if you haven’t already) that he was preempted by the Pope tonight, and had to cancel his own concert at Madison Square Garden. Ha!
And now I shall n-a-p.
No way!!!! :lol: Just when I thought I couldn’t love the Pope more!!!
smh ….. at both JO’B AND CC.
1st!
Wah. the feed started, then dropped out. Sigh.
Jesus Christ, Jimmy the Greek could pick better than this guy.
Dude… talk about being out of the loop. Whoa!
This is Karl Rove on election night 2012 out of the loop we’re talking about.
For real. I bet old Kevin’s has been knocking back a few Tylenol today… with beer chasers!. :-D
I’m going to sit here and wait for the environmentalist to say something positive about today’s historic announcement between the U.S. and China.
Hi Don, Chips, MP, JER and all of TOD.
Has the environmental history made today gotten any coverage? I have been gone most of today and am now watching the Pope at MSG.
Nope, its been wall to wall gin and tonic.
Has there ever been a better Friday? I mean the Pope dropping knowledge in the NYC, President Obama and President Xi doing big things, and Boehner goes into Witness Protecting. The only thing that would have made this Friday even better is if Chris Christie would have gotten indicted.
Amen to that, Don! :-D
Congrats MP
Haven’t been able to view it, but here is the UN Link to Pope Francis addressing the UN General Assembly ….

Dudette, can you imagine all the deals and side deals that will get done tonight? And I’m not even talking about politics.
Yep, Dollars and Yuan flying all over the place.
Maybe Boehner’s the entree. ‘Cause his goose is cooked. (Yay!)

Hey, I missed this. Did anybody recall seeing/hearing it?
Boy, I bet that sent some Baggers through the roof!
It was at the presser today. He also said that 2 of VP Biden’s grandchildren are already learning.
Cool! Thanks meta!
Doesn’t Sasha speak Chinese?
White House stream countdown is at 30 minutes!!!
speculating that the favorite color for China’s first lady is pink - could explain why the state dinner settings are dominated by pink
Howdy, TODville. Whew, what a day!! I have some catching up to do.
State Dinner coming up soon!
Dr. Maddy! :-)
Hi everybody! Heard this on the radio on the way home earlier, so came and looked it up. Apparently it’s true? I bet if it is it’s already been shared in the TODvillage!

This has been the *worst* week for me to return to work and then to be posted somewhere where I couldn’t peek on line periodically! Seems like tons of interesting/inspiring action chose *this* week to unravel! :( …. :cry: .. :/ …. :) :) << my mixed emotions
Although I'll have lots of homework trying to catch up (and although I'm grumbling at fate), I really do thank all reporting Bts, and the rest of you, for all the events and commentaries you have gathered here. Your efforts are all appreciated!
{{{{{ VC }}}}} The total lunar eclipse is still approaching, VC, this has indeed been a potent week. Welcome home, you were missed. <3
TY, MP. [part of my disappointment has been assuaged by the fact that I’ll eventually be paid $$ ;) ;) ]
Welcome to my world - I’m 4 threads behind every morning :) Just catching up now
/huffing & puffing/ TS, I’m still way back trying to work my way through! I suspect I may have to wake up early tomorrow to try again because I’m too tired to stay up until I finish tonight. We’ll see.
Closer look at FLOTUS dress from earlier today. Flawless, of course.
Heads up
