Good West Coast morning Chipsticks, NW and TOD family. I just opened up TOD and there was the command to Leave a Comment, so I typed what I could with one hand while holding a piece of toast in the other - pretty clever - no? :-)
Now, I want to give a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our very own JoJotheCat. Here’s hoping you enjoy and pamper yourself today sister <3
Good Morning TOD family and a special GM to GGail and my SoCal TOD sisters who made my birthday very special. I plan to spend the pampering myself :):):)
Hi there mtMarilyn! so happy to see that you received ALL of the pictures. I guess Mother Nature didn’t want you distracted out there in the wilderness :-)
The libations were delicious!!!! We only had one drink before hitting the road, so everyone was in tip top shape :-) And Susan is a wonderful addition to our SoCal group. Thanks for introducing her to us. <3
So glad you enjoyed the liquiers! Keep them for your get togethers. I’ll be there in spirit(s). So glad to introduce Susan. With her working out of her home it is hard for her to meet people. I knew you all were of top character. Have a wonderful day.
They called me for work with only a 40 min window to arrive, so I (very conveniently and without guilt) opted out. (I normally am allowed a 1 hour window and they would have made allowances, but /whisper/ I really didn’t want to go to that particular location. :D
President Barack Obama (C) and President Raul Castro (L) of Cuba shake hands as Secretary of State John Kerry (R) looks on during a bilateral meeting at the United Nations Headquarters on September 29, 2025 in New York City.
Good of you to admit this! *I* had my contribution picked out hours before Jojo woke up - you probably just picked yours minutes before she came in, so admitting it shows a hint of gentlemanliness. I’m proud of you. :D
p.s. when I was a little girl, I threw one of my cats a birthday party with hats and a tuna and bisquick cake and invited the neighbor’s cat…ha ha, yeah I was always a crazy cat lady, even as a little girl :-)
HA! how cute.
MSoph, did you see the bday pics the other day? I brought a b’day mask for jojo to wear and us guests had birthday hats - it was a hoot and everyone played along - it was so nice :-)
BTW, NerdyW (since I can’t get to the planners of these two events) I’m going to sue you for my burgeoning headache as I am trying to listen to both programmes at the same time, while trying to read comments here. My brains haven’t had this much stimulation all at once in years!!!
Now you tell me! FLOTUS/Julia/? in one ear, and whoever is at the mike at the UN in the other, and I won’t mention the spontaneous cheering. At one point Julia was talking at the same time the Australian delegate was speaking at the UN - my poor underused brain!
Congrats on 1st GGail, and Happy Birthday JoJo. Have a great day everyone. Thanks Nerdy for all you have done the last couple of weeks. I am just trying to get caught up. Thank you TOD for your caring healings for me and my family and Sister’s family. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. BBL. Have Library duty. LOL
Thank you NW for posting what FLOTUS said. I loved it. I saw the drop the mic, after she gave Charlize a high five. I enjoy listening to the ladies on that stage and the young girl too.
PBO and VPB together so much in the past 6 months.
Maybe for longer than that but i wasn’t paying attention.
To me it looks like the torch is being passed. Or, Is that just seeing what I want to see?
That image is wonderful. Here are three people with spines of steel (as Joe would say, of the President), still able to joke around and keep calm, no matter the topic.
“If you can keep your head, when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you … “
I wonder if he is being sarcastic? I sure hope so. I do not follow him on twitter or read anything that he writes.No reason, just don’t like the vibe he gives off.
I don’t think he’s being sarcastic. Based on Snowden’s mentioning him on his own TL, I think they had some interaction. Tyson feels flattered by Snowden obviously, and that seems to be extremely important to him….
Unfortunately, some people (usually men) enjoy having their egos stroked - and when someone does that, they lose all judgment and elevate that person to hero status instantaneously.
snowjob is very open about his love of ron paul libertarianism/republicanism. wonder how he thinks his beloved NASA and the many decades of public funding would fare under his fanboi’s chosen policies. there would be no space exploration nor astronomy departments had that type of person been in charge all those years ago. that’s why they call them the “flat earth society,” neil! what a freaking joke!!
Snowden has this as his Twitter bio: “I used to work for the government. Now I work for the public. Director at @FreedomofPress.” He needs to be a bit more honest here, and add “I used to work for the government until the President was a Black Democrat. Perhaps I can go back to working for the government when the President is a white GOPer.”
:star:<3 ^5 to the Danish President for his prophetic words in calling VPB, Mr President! As the hall smiled and murmured, even he himself, as he humbly apologized and corrected himself, while saying 'could be, may be'!! Yes! We! Shall! ;)
The rep from Denmark just accidentally referred to VP Biden as “President.” Then he apologized and waited a couple of moments and said, “Well, could have been. Or maybe will be, who knows? (crowd giggles) Do you have anything to tell us?”
Hello TOD. Good Afternoon from the State with 15K Lakes, Minnesota! <3<3<3 TOD!
Congrats to all the Gold :star: winners, starting with this fine post and 3 posts back.

The President never forgets a thing. Even though he’s their boss, how gracious was that. And how much the Secret Service must appreciate his public recognition for the jobs they get right, daily.

yay

What a weak excuse! Shame on you blaming your ‘treats’ - you ought to gift with joy!
joined the goppers party lately? bring nuthin to the table and yet blame those who do. / smh
not blaming, supervising; there’s a difference :D
Hiya VC, you’re off again today? Lucky U :D
They called me for work with only a 40 min window to arrive, so I (very conveniently and without guilt) opted out. (I normally am allowed a 1 hour window and they would have made allowances, but /whisper/ I really didn’t want to go to that particular location. :D
:D :D so the stars aligned in your favor, eh?
Yep.
I’m blessed.
You truly are <3
:) :)
Good morning Mamacita. No work today?
Yo bro’, yup, I’m here, but I had to make time to play - know what I mean??// :-)
How you doin’ ?
Tighter than ten toes in one sock! ;-(
President Barack Obama (C) and President Raul Castro (L) of Cuba shake hands as Secretary of State John Kerry (R) looks on during a bilateral meeting at the United Nations Headquarters on September 29, 2025 in New York City.
How fabulous is that!!!!
Has the event with FLOTUS started yet?
It has just begun. I am watching it now.
They gave FLOTUS another wonderful welcome. They love the Obamas in New York.
New York will be a hot sobbing Big Apple wet mess on Friday, Jan 20, 2017….
NerdyW, I’m trying to give my left ear to the Glamour live stream and my right ear to the UN summit - it’s *hard*. :D :D
Thank you all!
Have a lovely day, Jojo!
#copycat #literally
Good of you to admit this! *I* had my contribution picked out hours before Jojo woke up - you probably just picked yours minutes before she came in, so admitting it shows a hint of gentlemanliness. I’m proud of you. :D
yeah, blame me for being the quickest ‘decider-in-chief’.
:roll: *I* planned.
shorter vc - me lazy.
#meorganized #meathinker #mesmarterthan…
me. me. me… congrats, I now officially certify you as a gopper.
certification from your online company? Pshaw!
Happy Birthday Jojo! Hope you’re having a fantastic day with lots of cake and wine, and wishing you many, many more! :)
Happy Birthday JoJo! Hope your day is Purrrrfect!
p.s. when I was a little girl, I threw one of my cats a birthday party with hats and a tuna and bisquick cake and invited the neighbor’s cat…ha ha, yeah I was always a crazy cat lady, even as a little girl :-)
HA! how cute.

Thank you vc, amk, desertflower, hopefruit, madameSoph and all my bd wishers.
Jojo!! Balloons! Lots and lots of Balloons!! <3 and many blessings! :)
<3 PBO <3 MO <3
BTW, NerdyW (since I can’t get to the planners of these two events) I’m going to sue you for my burgeoning headache as I am trying to listen to both programmes at the same time, while trying to read comments here. My brains haven’t had this much stimulation all at once in years!!!
Hahahahahaha!!! VC that’s funny! I’ve tried that before and it can be excruciating :D
Now you tell me! FLOTUS/Julia/? in one ear, and whoever is at the mike at the UN in the other, and I won’t mention the spontaneous cheering. At one point Julia was talking at the same time the Australian delegate was speaking at the UN - my poor underused brain!
Time for a beef patty :-)
(I’m hungry) :D
Congrats on 1st GGail, and Happy Birthday JoJo. Have a great day everyone. Thanks Nerdy for all you have done the last couple of weeks. I am just trying to get caught up. Thank you TOD for your caring healings for me and my family and Sister’s family. It’s been a tough couple of weeks. BBL. Have Library duty. LOL
Glad you’re home safely Roberta. You are on our list for prayers and strength in your bereavement. <3
Happy Birthday, jojo!
YAAAAAAAAAAS, FLOTUS!
A real man is not threatened by a smart woman……
Happy Happy Birthday to you, jojo!! May your day bring you joy and recognition of all your gifts.
Thank you NW for posting what FLOTUS said. I loved it. I saw the drop the mic, after she gave Charlize a high five. I enjoy listening to the ladies on that stage and the young girl too.
Love our FLOTUS. She is one fine lady.
It was good but Glamour live session is over! Now I can go and eat and catch the rest of the UN session later (if it is still ongoing).
This is mildly amusing: even a RWNJ writer says the GOP looks awful in the PP hearing.
PBO and VPB together so much in the past 6 months.
Maybe for longer than that but i wasn’t paying attention.
To me it looks like the torch is being passed. Or, Is that just seeing what I want to see?
What we all want to see, Vicki. <3 VPB <3
I clearly see a torch!
That image is wonderful. Here are three people with spines of steel (as Joe would say, of the President), still able to joke around and keep calm, no matter the topic.
“If you can keep your head, when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you … “
go figure…shaun king os a fan of libertarian, obama-hating, traitor to america, putin buddy, ed snowjob:
king sure is a champion of “civil rights!” someone needs to ask snowjob if he can see alaska from his front porch.
HA! King is either a hypocrite or the biggest ignoramus out there. Doesn’t he know what Snowjob stands for?
And FLOTUS mention that her husband is working at trying to get the first two years of CC free.
Thank you, hf. Shaun King blocked me long ago when he was on his anti-PBO jag so I can’t tweet him.
bring it!!
same for putting upchuck todd on 6 days/week. all about spreading republican propaganda thick in time for 2016 elections.
I wonder if he is being sarcastic? I sure hope so. I do not follow him on twitter or read anything that he writes.No reason, just don’t like the vibe he gives off.
I don’t think he’s being sarcastic. Based on Snowden’s mentioning him on his own TL, I think they had some interaction. Tyson feels flattered by Snowden obviously, and that seems to be extremely important to him….
Tell it HF!
Uh…sorry…NOPE. I’m going to have to part ways with Tyson here.
WTH???
on my f-ing god. disgraceful!
Unfortunately, some people (usually men) enjoy having their egos stroked - and when someone does that, they lose all judgment and elevate that person to hero status instantaneously.
snowjob is very open about his love of ron paul libertarianism/republicanism. wonder how he thinks his beloved NASA and the many decades of public funding would fare under his fanboi’s chosen policies. there would be no space exploration nor astronomy departments had that type of person been in charge all those years ago. that’s why they call them the “flat earth society,” neil! what a freaking joke!!
Here’s another fool. Is it fool day? Good thing I have no idea who this Tyson guy is, not going to even try to find out.
Oh noooooo! Dudette is going to be so disappointed when she reads this tweet :shock:
Uh, yeah- mass unfollow is in order here.
I don’t care how “smart” people might think Snowjob is: He is unstable, and should not be encouraged or treated as some kind of hero.
I said it months and months ago and it has not change, Edward Snowden is a darn traitor, he is no hero.
POTUS and FLOTUS are on their way back to the White House.
yep. not only are they never called on it, they get promoted and encouraged to go farther with it! we’re living in crazytown:
I unfollowed Tyson…don’t need to see his shameful slobbering of that trailor all over my TL…
wonder if neil asked snow job about this when he had eddie on his show?
http://www.iflscience.org/russia-snowden-moon-hoax/
this has been so disappointing to see…
Snowden has this as his Twitter bio: “I used to work for the government. Now I work for the public. Director at @FreedomofPress.” He needs to be a bit more honest here, and add “I used to work for the government until the President was a Black Democrat. Perhaps I can go back to working for the government when the President is a white GOPer.”
maybe by “government” he meant russian k.g.b., controlled by putin? that would make more sense.
No - he’s talking about the US government. He’s still working for Putin. There’s no freedom of press in Putin’s Russia. That’s a farce…
It’s all about him, his ego, all the time. What a jerk.
Yup, his ego knows no bounds. But as we know, those with monstrous egos and little to show for it, usually self-destruct sooner or later.

:star: <3 ^5 to the Danish President for his prophetic words in calling VPB, Mr President! As the hall smiled and murmured, even he himself, as he humbly apologized and corrected himself, while saying 'could be, may be'!! Yes! We! Shall! ;)
Expert trolling of Snowden
The rep from Denmark just accidentally referred to VP Biden as “President.” Then he apologized and waited a couple of moments and said, “Well, could have been. Or maybe will be, who knows? (crowd giggles) Do you have anything to tell us?”
There was no camera on VP so I couldn’t see his reaction.
^5 ^10 ^5 Meta!! There was a standing ovation here in my listening area! Whoop! Whoop!! We sure know how the UN feels on this topic! <3
It was a sweet moment!
Our hearts just filled up and rose in a collective Hurrah! <3
