Congrats MadameSoph! Did you see my response on the previous thread about the pictures from the SoCal BD party? Go to 9/27 Chat Away and you should see them….
Was just answering you below…. :-)
:-) Fuuuuuuuurst!
:star: Looks like first to me! And with Mercury retrograde conjunct the sun in transit, nicely done, MadameSoph!
Really? Mercury conjunct the Sun while making the wide part of its orbit (trying to correct my thinking by changing my phrasing since Mercury doesnât actually travel backwards) I have Libra on the ascendant… sounds like my instinct to lay low today is a good one :-)
Your ‘instinctâ is more intuitive than instinctive! We had a clear reminder to keep the calendar as open as possible today, just in case!!
Ah yes, I probably should have said, “intuition”. However, I find that laying low is often my innate response during a Mercury Retrograde period (having been raised to be observant of them has probably made caution during these cycles a fixed pattern of behavior for me :-)
Did I bet GGail? Furst?
OMG Iâm first! Man… you guys are slow today :-)
Congratulations MadameSoph!
JoJo,
I just saw the pics of your Bday! Love the mask :-) And huckleberry vodka?! :-) Must have been a fun time!
You should have had these:
:) :) Yes, Huckleberry Vodka a gift from MTmarilyn and her hubby when they were in SoCal visiting family. We all got together for dinner and she came with gifts of books, booze, and a big heart..(trying to use all ‘bâsâ)
A graceful use of alliteration always beautifies a phrase. A Libra, ruled by the planet Venus, would of course want beautify the written word! Libras love to make things lovely (LOL) Howâs that?! :-)
I like very much :) :) Are you a fellow Libra?
I have Libra on the ascendant (rising), so my personality is very Libran. Do you have trouble making your mind up what to order at a restaurant too? :-)
No, because iâve learned to order the same thing other people… :) :) :)
JoJo, a very very very very very belated happy birthday!! I wasnât around yesterday so didnât get the chance to wish you a blissful day - which I hope it was!
Thank you Chipsticks! I saw you had a busy work day yesterday then Dannysticks tangled with wasps nests again.
Thank you jojo for the kind words. It was such a privilege to meet all of you. So glad you enjoyed the vodka. This is a very special community.
It was a pleasure meeting you and hubby as well as Sue who is an official member of our get-togethers. We are all going to Tallyâs event at the Huntington Library next month.
Oh the stuff Iâve missed. đ
I feel you CarolMae! So much has happened the last week and Iâve been super busy so I missed so much!
Guess what the offensive asshole thinks is just fine? Just read this…now I want to heave my lunch.

âThere is something called civil rights,â Pelley pointed out during 60 Minutes Overtime.
To this, Trump responded with a shrug, âThereâs also something called, âWe have a country.ââ
WHOA
Biden/Patrick 2016 Now that is a good ticket
it would be an amazing ticket.
So, I have been mostly lurking the past several days but checking in here and there.
Last night I finally watched my DVR of the Global Citizen Festival special on NBC. When the First Lady came on, she looked gorgeous, as usual (did you see the outfit she wore on Colbert?!). Then, when I noticed her hairdo âŚ. I burst into laughter.
I was reminded of a tweet one of you posted on Saturday about the difference between FLOTUSâ hair at the GCF and the night of the Chinese State Dinner.
âMichelleâs hair today compared to her hair last night is evidence that Barack knocked the bottom out that thang last nightâ
:-) FLOTUS looked so fine at that dinner, you know thatâs what happened!
I WOULD IMAGINE EVERYONE FIGURED PBO WOULD BE GIVIING HER TANGO LESSONS!
Madamesoph and Jojothecat…….Twin Gold :star: :star: winners ;)
Congrats!
Thanks Nena, I just noticed that we tied……
Good Afternoon, Everyone :)
rikyrah, do have a link to the original of that wonderful article you posted from 2011 about PBO and the myth of the Dem majority his first two years? I just had a “discussion” :-) with a friendâs husband not long ago along those lines and would love to pass it on, but want to make sure the source is clear.
Everyday, a new story of despicable police behaviorâŚ
âOfficers with the Special Operations Response Team found the disabled couple, who were staying with Lisa Hayesâ mother for two weeks while their daughter attended an ice skating camp, in a back bedroom of the home, according to a lawsuit.
Five family members had already told police that Lisa Hayes, a quadriplegic with cerebral palsy, was unable to use her legs, and the lawsuit claims officers should have seen her wheelchair in the bedroom where her husband bathed her.
But state troopers pointed their guns at the disabled woman and âshouted at her to do that which she could not: stand up,â the lawsuit claims.
Ruther Hayes tried to cover his partially nude wife with a sheet, but the lawsuit shows that police shoved him to the ground and repeatedly punched him before shocking the mentally ill man twice with a stun gun.â
See, itâs stories like this that make people distrustful of cops. Who are they serving and protecting with this kind of sickening behavior?
Great but then we have to go through this again with Republican morons in December. Oh joy.
:lol: :roll: :lol: :roll:
I honestly thought as much ;)
Anything that annoys those buggers is good.
Another successful iPad update. Tweeting is still slow.
Preach it, Cummings!! Call out the hypocrites with the truth. My blood pressure would be through the work having to sit around and listen to Republican wankers every day. Good for Cummings for keeping his cool and pointing out the facts.
Only 91 GOPers in the House wanted the Fed Govât not to shut-down…….Folks let that sink in.
Tax-Payers are paying for these Idiots. Shame on all those who Voted for these Traitors!
egg.sack.lee. just the effing tail wagging the effing elephant. shows what a gutless punk boner really was.
GOP let it expire because Jon Stewart is not on teevee anymore to shame the GOP.
Did anyone else see/hear Kevin McCarthy???
I can barely contain myself.
First of all—and I realize this may not be fair criticism—but his little bitty voice in his very tall frame.
Then—like too many in the GOP—-his grasp of the English language is shaky, to say the least.
Rep. McCarthy called HRC “untrustable.”
This was as he was explaining that the entire mess of Benghazi was an effort to smear the former SOS.
Now, Iâm reminded that the gossip about Kevin McCarthy was that he is not the brightest of politicians.
This from the party of Gohmert, Palin, Bachmann and Jim (the Snowball) Imhofe.
I am very glad for Hillary that this fool has exposed his hideous dumb party.
Yup.
Our Tax $$$$ are funding a scheme to take out a Dem Presidential Candidate. Dems of all stripes should be on every Medium screaming, shouting and demanding that this Tax-Payer Funded sham STOP Now!
We should make them feel THIS burn!!
The sad thing is that the “untrustable” nonsense has spread to some on our side of the fence-many Sanders supporters are too busy spraying venom Hillaryâs way and ignoring the GOPâs efforts to knock her down. 20+ years and still going…
Marc, to be fair, Sanders didnâtâ have to do anything as it relates to the “untrustable” term when assessing Hillaryâs ability to lead. Why bother when HRCâs own actions and words speak volumes on her lack of character on doing the right things and making the right decisions.
#nomoreclintons #none
Yes, itâs great that McCarthy finally admitted something that we already knew. The Benghazi hearings are nothing but a politically-motivated sham targeted at a Presidential candidate. Nice that Republicans have no qualms about using dead Americans for their political schemes.
Thatâs about the first humane thing sheâs done in six and a half years! Color me surprised, but glad.
Hi, carolyn - Me, too. Hard to believe, but good.
Iâll bet they do. See my comments just above.
Iâm just afraid they will use this as an excuse to put a full-blown nut job in the speakership, instead of just a half-baked nut job. God, what a mess.
Yes to Nena. We should and I predict will be screaming about this disgusting abuse.
And Yes, 57. I fear exactly what you do. Now theyâll pick someone more clever and vicious, and therefore more dangerous to the rest of us.
John Boehner had his obvious faults but it seems very unlikely to me that the country will be better as a result of his resignation.
THIS IS ALL PLANNED…THE COUNTRY IS GOING TO SINK!
But even the half-baked nut jobs give cover to the full-blown nut jobs so it doesnât make any difference. Boehner was nothing but rude and nasty towards our President and coddled the extremist obstructionists in his party. I donât see him as different than Gohmert or any other half-wit.
“vBut even the half-baked nut jobs give cover to the full-blown nut jobs so it doesnât make any difference. I donât see him as different than Gohmert or any other half-wit.”
Say it again pkayden.
We are drowning in ignorance and hatred.
No relief in sight on the GOP side.
But, but, but…….Trump is Smart *cough* competent *cough* knows how to manage *cough*
Maybe “the wall” protecting the data wasnât high enough. What a “loser” he is.
badabing! lol Jacquelineoboomer - you have such a way with words. :-)
Ha. Thank you! :)
He canât even manage his ego. Itâs way out of control.
Keeping my fingers crossed…….
For and ever-lasting Justice? In These USA? I sure hope so!
I was just coming here to post this news … Ari Melberâs tweeting some highlights about it.
Great! Wonderful breakthrough.
It is!
credit goes to that kenyan muslin.
Yes, again!!
YES. All minorities & college students should start their own business.
Hey yâall.
Hey.
Just heard a one-liner that Donald Trump just said in NH that if he “wins,” Syrian refugees in our country are “going back.” Iâm guessing he meant those weâve invited here.
Our country of immigrants - keep that in mind. Whoâs next? Maybe heâll deport his immigrant wife, too, if she doesnât work out.
Thankfully, heâll never win so he can run his mouth as much as he wants to.
Yep, and then we can party when he finally shuts up!
from my TL it seems that Chis Matthews has Trump on his program…Whaaaaat!
Thatâs actually a sign that Trump will crash and burn very soon.
VC - As promised, youâve got mail! <3 (this is a warning!) LOL
My contribution to making your evening just a little bit silly.
I LOVE his rendition of the Christmas song “Do you see what I see?”
Good evening Chips & TOD! :) Happy Wednesday night everyone. :)
Have a few moments so Iâve sent a couple of tweets - to Sen Reid & Rep Pelosi - and am trying to assemble some updates on various topics I follow - see the side bar for more.
Hope everyone is having a fine Wed!!
bbl ….
Oh well …. will try to be back before the end of the day ….
Oh…here we go, with the HRC fans now blaming PBO…
oh, he will when she stands up for obamacare. deal?
rigghhhtttt… because we all know as the female self proclaimed front runner for POTUS she is quite incapable of standing up for herself.
smdh!!! passive aggressive bullshit.
one more thing I wanted to highlight… this comment reeks of “Miss Ann” entitlement. gtfooh
Sorry TODers, the Twittpic gives me the creeps.
Things that crawl are not my favorite things…….Chills and creeps me out.
Yeah, and, once these mealworms find out how much plastic waste is on our planet, theyâll overrun it and …
Oh the horrors!
Ha. Hang in there, Nena. :)
cool.
Todayâs WH Presser.
For those who missed it earlier today
I saw where Tom Brady endorse Donald Trump, then I said now I know why he didnât show up at the White House when POTUS were honoring the Pats for winning the Super Bowl. I felt all along he didnât show up cause he didnât like POTUS.
New post.
