:lol: You typed so quickly you got your name wrong and ended up in pending!!!!! Hellooooooooooooo GGail!!
Hahaha, so that’s what happened 😄😄😄
Goooooal morning my dear Chips & thanks for helping a sister out 💕
I knew it; I knew you two were in cahoots! It’s all a scam, being first is rigged and I’m here to blow the whistle. I demand whistleblower protections.
Spots are for winners.
Your taunts will not go unchallenged; soon you will suckle on the nipples of defeat.
:lol:
Bwahaha! 😆
:)
I beat you fair & square Don, deal with it. Ha!
Yes, you’ve won with honor and dignity, which is more than I can say for some people.
furst.
Baby, it’s YOU! 😀
Hi and Congrats GGail!
HA! thanks Dudette :-)
Yes - YOU, GGail! Congratulations. Aren’t these beach pictures adorable? No wonder President Obama tears up when he thinks of his girls growing up and leaving home so fast.
GM Judith & thanks :-)
Good West Coast morning Chipsticks & TOD family
Good Morning GGail. Are you enjoying our coolish weather? It makes me feel like it’s winter, very Christmassy, LOL.
Good morning Betsy!
Yes, I’m enjoying our fall weather 😊
I take it you won’t be able to come to Tally’s on the 26th. We’ll miss you!!!
No, I said I was coming…
BETSY!!! I didn’t see your email - YAY!!!!!!!
We in Atlanta are enjoying temps close to 20 degrees above average. Weird. I wonder why. Hmmm…
Don’t speak it out loud Dudette - there’s NO such thing as climate change :D
Climate change!
Climate change!
CLIMATE CHANGE!
Hey! Yeah, I said it!
ROFL!!!!
<3
And I should have been first, but was over in gmail writing to a dear friend about voter fraud in the photo poll which closed before some of us could get out vote in!! (January Photo of the Month - Hey! So I was over a week late, how can that matter??) <3
You made my day MP!😍
LOL! I don’t feel so bad about just voting for February. 😀
Uh - y’all kindly the time stamp here - I was caught in the pile-up when the thread opened and GGail went crashing into pending! Just so you know who’s on first! Bye, church, bbl. <3
Danny, it’s important to share your toys.
Okay.
:roll:
Danny is really a BIG dog now 😳
He’s an elephant!1!1!
:cool:
Danny, we saw you had big paws when you were a baby, but you’ve surpassed my expectations. You must eat well and with love and exercise, you’re huge 😘
He met an Alsation this morning who was taller than him, freaked him out! :-)
Hahahaha, I bet it did!!
It’s doggie tug o’ war! My puppy nephew’s favorite game! 😀
Apologies for re-posting this video from end of last thread, but it’s cool & deep:
.
Powerful! I’m not that a big a fan of Kendrick Lamar. Just not my style, but this is tight.
My first thought was this had to be directed by Julie Dash. Feels like her work in Daughters of the Dust. But director is Hiro Murai. Thanks for the intro to this director and Flying Lotus.
Dudette, did you see him on the very first Late Show with Stephen? He did a medley that was EPIC! I tried to find it on the Late Show YouTube channel but they didn’t have it. Someone else posted it here (with Spanish subtitles even :-) ) :
Yeh, sorry, I’m just not into him. I appreciate his artistry but it’s not for me.
some oldie
SAW ALL THIS YESTERDAY WHEN I WENT TOY SHOPPING!…NOTHING CHANGES…THEY ENJOY THEIR INFLATED SELVES!
So, should I waste gray matter this morning & watch one of the morning news shows?
I’m advising you not to.
:)
GM HF,
I am watching CBS for now because I’m listening to SoS Kerry. After him, it’s Click!
Good decision GGail :)
GM Gail. Naaaaah. Best to pass.
Good morning Kate!
I only watched SoS Kerry 😊
:) :)
Good Sunday morning, GGail, congrats on #1.
Here’s some perspective on how awful CBS is (and I listen to @knx1070 all the time — the only broadcast news I receive) — we know what to expect from Fox, but CBS is the home of Walter Cronkite, and their political spin is truly ODS-based.
And hate @pierre, The Intercept and the GGreenwald connection, but this appeared in my twitter feed this morning…
GM Arapaho, I’m not surprised. They don’t want supporting arguments that our President is doing so well.
So the Sanitization of the Frank Luntz’s manipulated right wing ‘Focus Group’ propaganda is edited out for continued Hype on the meme ‘Liberal Media’ as CBS dutifully markets deceptive programming while still claiming Objectivity?
Who do these people think they are fooling?
Frank Luntz is a GOP Mastermind of the Jan 20th, 2009 Political Coup d’etat plot at a Steak House in DC against Pres Obama. Frank Luntz has been a Newton Gingrich’s Wordsmith ‘guru’ for years. Frank Luntz has been a GOPer inside the Beltway Top Political Strategist…… Yet the CBS News and FTN are Never upfront with his Bio whenever they are advertising and using Frank Luntz as a Pollster.
When will the DNC and Dems in DC…..when will they effing wake up and start demanding a Huge Change in the US News Media blatant GOP biased tilt?
Arapaho, that Dave Weigel comment says it all. As my mom used to say, “Suspicions confirmed!”
Nooooooo!
so now, it’s ted crud’s turn to ‘lead’ in iwhoa?
GE amk.
Did you see this from Friday? PBO’s climate conference statement was a belated birthday gift to Secretary Kerry:
Hi arapho. Yup, all the ‘polls’ showing one thug or the other is all bs at this point.
Mornin’!
M.J.
L-O-V-E!!!!!
Me, too!
POTUS usually gives a press conference before the First Family heads to Hawaii.
GOD PLACES KINGS FOR HIS REASONS AND DEPOSES THEM FOR HIS REASONS..PLAIN AND SIMPLE…LESSONS LEARNED TOO LATE BY A SELFISH,RACIST AND SELF CONSUMED SOCIETY! WHAT GOES AROUND…COMES AROUND!
GOOD MORNING TOD FAMILY….HAPPY TO SEE THE RELAXING PICTURE OF THE ENERGZER IN PARADISE….HE NEEDS THAT BADLY……………………………..PLEASE SEND SOME PRAYERS FOR MY SON DAVID…HIS HOUSE IS IN THE PORTER RANCH CAL…GAS LEAK AREA…HE IS CURRENTLY EVACUATED AND IN A HOTEL…HE WAS SICK WITH BREATHING SYMPTOMS AND HAD GONE TO THE HOSPITAL…THE EVAC. IS PERMANENT UNTIL THEY FIND PLACES FOR EVERYONE…HIS CLASS ACTION ATTORNEY IS ROBERT KENNEDY JR….ERIN BROCKOVICH IS WORKING THE OTHER CLASS ACTION SUIT.
Sue, I’m sorry your son is in the gas leak area, but good to hear that he’s been relocated. May his health improve soon.
THANKS GAIL…IT’S A MESS OUT THERE…HOWEVER HE IS LIKE HIS FATHER WAS AND THINKS WAY TOO MUCH OF MONEY…THESE LESSONS BUILD CHARACTER AND GOD KNOWS HOW TO USE THEM. STRUGGLES ARE OPPORTUNITIES!
HOPEFULLY HE WILL LEARN ALL THE RIGHT THINGS OUT OF THIS……………………….
hope your son get better and that he and others who lived in the area can get this issues resolved soon;

THANK YOU EVERYONE…I WORRY BUT THEN I DON’T BECAUSE I KNOW GOD HAS THE SITUATION…THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS I WANT DAVID TO LEARN FROM THIS….HE GAVE ME TROUBLE WHEN HE WAS ASKED TO HELP OTHERS..AND HE LOVES MONEY…I HAVE THE FEELING GOD IS GOING TO PLANT SOME SEEDS HERE. I PREACH BUT HE DOES NOT TAKE ME SERIOUSLY…HE IS LIKE HIS DAD IN THAT WAY AND I HAVE BEEN SAD FOR YEARS OVER THAT. PERHAPS THIS SITATION WILL TEACH HM ABOUT HELPING HIS NEIGHBOR AND UNITY.
Hopefully, we all learn something new every day, Sue, and I hope you get your wish.
Sue, Prayers for your son, David. I hope he feels better soon, and he finds a place soon.
I STAYED UP LAST NIGHT WATCHING AMERICA UNEARTHED…INDEED…I BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST’S BLOODLINE IS HERE AND ROME IS GUILTY OF CENTURIES FILLED WITH LIES AND TORTURE. THE TRUTH IS GOING TO HIT HARD FOR THOSE PHONY EVANGELICALS OUT THERE…GOD KNOWS WHO THEY ARE!
CHURCH HUGGERS WITH EMPTY PEWS AND SUITS!
Good W/E morning/afternoon VC
Thanks for posting the video. It provided a lot of interesting information about what transpired at the Climate Summit. And kinda makes sense that Sec Jewell would play a vital part.
Greetings from the rainy, overcast east (at least my portion of it), GxG. Indeed it does make perfect sense that Sec J would be there (You know us, so focused on Pres O’s presence that we don’t really pause to consider who else would be on a particular travelling team. :) )
Well, stay dry and warm up there vc {{{hugs}}}
Oh, I’m *beginning* to think this is going to be a wonderfully warm winter, thanks. As I’ve remarked before, I haven’t had to get too friendly with my winter coat so far. :)
BBL…RUG SHAMPOOING AND PACKING DAY!…YUKKA!…HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY EVERYONE!
SoS John Kerry makes me proud - every time he speaks!
I LOVE JOHN KERRY…CAN YOU IMAGINE WHERE WE WOULD BE IF HE HAD WON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION…I LOVE HS WIFE TOO AND HOPE SHE IS WELL. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW SHE IS?
Happy Sunday, TOD. The Portland Orange Walk is today and the forecast is for cold, rain, and possibly a thunderstorm. Wish us determination to have a powerful event anyway!
Judith, my the warmth of our loving PBO keep you all comfortable today <3
*may*
What a lovely focal point! will hold that thought. Thanks, GGail!
Shouldn’t be difficult for you Judith, you’ve gotten hugs AND kisses from PBO :-)
THIS OF COURSE MEANS JUDITH HAS NEVER EVER WASHED HER FACE SINCE AND IT IS PROBABLY VARNISHED!…LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Good luck out there Judith! You can do it!
Just think of it as a lovely walk among friends on a soothing brisk morning! :-D
This is a big deal, right? Was this “breaking news” on any of the Sunday shows? I’m guessing it was not (giving side eye in anticipation).
Pre-surgery photo. And I didn’t notice that little Kasper hogged the top of the frame!
Awww, 57, I didn’t notice Kasper until you mentioned him. I had to go back and look again. :-)
I’m so glad that Nickelby survived the surgery and is on the road to recovery! And I’m wishing the same for Kasper on the 22nd <3
SO HAPPY HERE FOR NICKELBY…AND WHAT A CUTE NAME TOO!
Oh my gaaaaaaaaaawd, look at the adorable sweethearts!!!! Give them the biggest hug EVER for me!!
Cute, huh? I’m being coldly objective…….. CUTE, HUH?
VERRRRRRRRRY VERY CUTE!!!!! :-)
Precious cutie-pies, the both of them.
Yaaaaaay! OMG 57, they are both adorable! And now I know how to picture them for healing visualizations :-) So happy about Nickelby! I just want to lean into the picture and give them both kisses!
You had a direct line to healing energy, MadameSoph. I could feel it, so could Nickelby! I’ll post a photo of Kasper this week as well. Talk about cute……….
Great news 57 - thanks for the update, and hope Nickelby continues on a smooth recovery path! :)
They sure are cute. I’m glad that Nickelby’s surgery went well, and wishing the best for Kasper’s surgery on the 22nd.
But it’s okay for Donald Trump to be cocky, arrogant,
full of himself, but how dare a black man be that way.
YOU SAID IT BELLA…PBO IS THE ONLY GROWN UP IN THE ROOM…THEY ARE ALL JEALOUS OF WHAT THEY WILL FOREVER FAIL TO BE!
Kap sucks at football right now but he’s absolutely right about this:
Bingo!
Modern take on the Martin Niemoller quote in the National Holocaust Museum
THIS MAKES ME SO SAD FOR THOSE WHO JUST PLAIN DO NOT STAND UP AGAINST INJUSTICE…IT IS AN ACT OF COWARDICE AND I DON’T KNOW HOW THEY LIVE WITH THEMSELVES!
Ooops.
Good Afternoon TODVille!
I hope you caught the news from SNL last night. Awesome!
http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/george-w-bush-cold-open/2953423
FTN with Frank Luntz and the GOPers’ descriptive diatribe thrown at Pres Obama is gleefully aired, with selective editing. They were ‘nice’ about editing out pouring oil on the POTUS while watching him burn.
These same folks were comfortable with the terms “arrogant” “cocky” “full of himself” etc…….and the Irony of it all?
Their White Hope, Trump is ‘vitreous’, ‘strong’, ‘right’ and with ‘leadership skills’ unmatched?
Hmm?
PIGmentation is quite mind bending intoxication when observed many through the prism, oops, through the doctrine of the Right Wing Mega Media Echo Chamber.
Hello TOD on a Sunday Cloudy Day.
Congrats to all the Au :star: winners since last night, starting with this post.
