I did
Congrats GGail. Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday, J4O!
Hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season :-)
GGail!!! Congrats to you:)
Thanks DF.
What did Sassy Sadie get for Christmas?
Do you have pictures???
Sassy Sadie got new bandanas and some grooming products:) Nose butter, paw butter, boo boo butter:) And she’s already devoured her bully sticks that I get for her…she was soooooo well behaved on Christmas:) I put the tree outside in our front courtyard because I was afraid of how she’d be with the ornaments and the tree….I DO have pics but have no idea how to post them here…I know how to text them so if you’d like to send me a quick email with your cell # I’ll text them to you:) Then we can chat from time to time, too:)
Done
You did, congrats on first GGail.
Hi Anna!
Thanks :-)
Hope you’ve had a wonderful Holiday thus far.
Congratulations on first GGail! You are quick on the draw this fine, but cold (for SoCal) morning!
As you can see, I’m staying indoors :D
It was soooooo nice to see you last night and to meet your wonderful husband. <3
He really loved the evening and very much enjoyed his conversation with you! It was great to experience tasting the Dom, so thanks for giving that to all of us; not many would do that. You are a very generous soul!
Betsy, it’s a no brainer really. What good is having something good like Dom Perignon and not sharing it with good people? It just seems to taste better - don’t you agree? I enjoyed talking with him and with all of you - we had a blast last night. I appreciate you & Bill for driving the farthest to be with us <3
Lushes! :-) <3
Babee, a lush can’t afford Dom Perignon :-)
They can be found on ALL levels of the economic spectrum…..Thank you very much! ;-)
Not in your world
GGaaaaaaaAAAAaaaAAAAaaaAAAAaaAAAaaaaail! :-)
Hellllloooooooooooooo Chips :-)
;-)
So Chips, we have a picture of last night’s TOD Peeps & Friends Holiday/End of the Year get-together that I believe will be posted today by our JoJo.
No one was arrested last night, I am happy to report :-)
“No one was arrested last night”
So you escaped justice AGAIN?????
Hope you had a fabulous night!!!!! :-)
We were loud enough, but the po-po never arrived :D
Me, too! Congratulations GGail and Happy New Year to all!
Did you?
I’d better be well by tomorrow. Missus is of Tuesday. I want to eat and drink.
Not sure if this has broken here, but Ramadi is back in Iraqi Army hands, backed by US airstrikes. If only that Obama had a strategy vis a vis ISIL.
It was on the last thread, but this good news deserves another mention. Yeah, damn Obama…being all in control of the situation and everything:) Love him. Glad you’re beginning to feel better, LL :)
Well, just had breakfast and my tum didn’t quite like it, so still have a bit to go, it seems.
chicken soup and rest….and not feeling the urge to make a go of things too soon:)
Get well soon LL, I like reading your tweets late at night.
This happens when the long game is played.
This is great news, LL. Thanks for sharing.
Brought over….
DAMN THOSE LITTLE PEOPLE! What “freedumb” looks like?
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/12/27/3735129/alabama-mansion-bp/
As storms once again battered the state of Alabama over Christmas, Republican Gov. Robert Bentley moved to divert funding from the 2010 BP oil spill recovery effort to finance the renovation of a second Governor’s mansion on the Gulf Coast.
Yet that beachside mansion, which Alabama governors beginning with famed segregationist George Wallace have enjoyed, was not damaged by the BP oil spill. It was damaged more than two decades earlier by Hurricane Danny, and has sat empty ever since.
While Alabama’s oyster industry and coastal communities continue to suffer from the effects of the massive Deepwater Horizon oil well blowout, the repairs to the governors’ mansion are estimated to cost between $1.5 million and $1.8 million. Though Bentley says he will stay there only “on occasion,” the administration said the property would be “primarily” used to wine and dine corporate executives considering the state for investment.
While the funding comes from a grant, not taxpayer money, the state plans to divert other BP settlement dollars to cover the state’s General Fund shortfalls. Bentley has been widely criticized for prioritizing the far-flung beachfront property at a time when the state is struggling to provide basic services to its residents.

Another one of those southern states fucking over its most vulnerable citizens. The south shall rise again motherfucka!
This made my stomach turn….but those good ole boys down there think they got the world by the balls….they have NO IDEA they are getting abused….they don’t WANT to know.
Yep, they don’t want to know, alls they know is that they want that usurper out of the fucking Whitehouse.
Nuts, isn’t it? The ONLY GUY that wants to help them, truly help them….and they can’t wait until he’s gone…meanwhile, the Gov THEY probably voted for, is putting the screws to them. Talk about voting against your own interests!
Ted Cruz fake outrage….IOKIYR

Don’t pimp your children, then cry FOUL when they become targets
Seriously. I truly detest these people…I use the term “people” very loosely. They are cretins.
I live just outside of Austin Texas and in a few days Texas will allow open carry, this bothers me to my core. Now wherever I go some asshole can walk into any goddamn restaurant or any store or any movie theater with a rifle strapped to his ass.
I mean really, why do you NEED a gun, I know its in the constitution but why do I have to start looking over my shoulder. I mean really, is your schlong that small that you need to walk around with a rifle strapped to your backside?
It already happens around here. You must always assume that everyone has a gun. It’s awful.
I call them all ” dickless wonders”….
Ha!
Just think of that when you see someone that thinks he needs a gun strapped to his hip….I guarantee that “dickless wonder” will fit him to a tee:)
Don, when we were at the movies after all the previews, commercials and telling us to shut our cellphones off, they flashed real fast, a warning to watch for suspicious acting people and be mindful of all the exits, now enjoy your movie.
Hello TOD family trying to post picture from party….aghhhhh
