Morning. I so want to be there!!!
Good morning Jackie! That water does look deliciously blue - and the fella in it isn’t bad either!
No he isn’t, which is why your ‘randomness’ is suspect. Seems gorgeousness would be more apt for the images you ‘randomly’ choose..
Are you alleging that my randomness isn’t random????!!!!????? :-)
I’m ‘alleging’ that it’s misnamed-it should be “gorgeousness (adorableness,swooniness), randomly chosen.”
‘misnamed’ :lol:
You two are in serious need of ‘naughty mats’!…..G’day. :lol:
The fog is so thick here today, it’s impossible to see anything but dense grayness out of the windows. It’s like being enclosed in cotton. Yet somewhere the sun is shining, the water is warm enough to swim in and the First Family is chilling out on the beach.
GM Jackie and Chips. I’m just thankful we don’t have any of the white stuff falling out of the sky…..
Have a great O’Day Everyone!
Donna, you do know that when I rule the world it will be snowing every day?
Good morning to ya!
You are seriously weird - or maybe you like the snow day concept when no-one goes to work??
Aw hail naw!
Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
… and later there will be rainbows - just as it should be. 😉
Hi, dudette, the early crowd is always rubbing sleep from their eyes and groping for coffee. Being coherent is tough, so we probably need one of your lovely songs to get us going.
Gotcha covered jg! 😀
Perfect! Thanks, dudette.
Gooood Morning!
We’re back to thunderstorms and flash floods again, so here I am up early with you lovelies!
Congrats jg!
Yikes, keep safe Dame Delicious!!!!
Most definitely, My Queen!
Sounds awful. Flash floods truly scare me.
Me too.
Good Morning, Everyone :)
Hey Rikyrah!
Good morning, good people!
MORE incredible inspiration to get us all going this morning:
Wow! Thank you, meta.
You’re very welcome, jackie. Have a great day!
Morning Ms Majestic!
Moooonrnnningggg, Chief Chips!
Niceeeeeeeeeeeee
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
😃
Thanks, Dudette. I saw Rita Moreno live on stage during a convention I was attending in the late 80’s. She was magnificent-her dancing her humor, her presence just lit up the stage. I’ve forgotten everything that went on at that convention, but I’ll never forget Rita Moreno.
She lights up everything she touches! I’ve been a fan since i first saw her in West Side Story on TV!
Oops! So nice, I posted it twice! :-D
Queen Ree!
There is a reason why she is call the Queen. And you just saw that reason.
Sister ReRe brought the house here and there to their feet. She sounds awesome & I love her so much. I’m so happy that I fought sleep so I could see the whole program.
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Wednesday morning. Congrats Jackie, on being first this morning.
The greatest start of the day, is when you wake up in the morning and have all your faculties and mobility. If you don’t think so, try not waking up.
To all, I hope you have a lively, optimistic, and upbeat day today. <3 <3 <3
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆
Morning RanMan!
Believe me, RanMan, I don’t take faculties and mobility for granted any day. Having lived through some serious health issues this year, I’m grateful every time I wake up to see another and can get of bed.
Mark your calendars!!
😂😂😂
Like I said 😆
Can you imagine having a moment just like that in your life????!!!!
In my living room, yes absolutely! :-D
She wears her coat to stay warm for her voice and so when she takes it off, you know she’s warmed up! ❤️
Morning everyone:) Nice “random” photo this morning, Chips:)
Moooooooorning Desertflower!!
Morning you! :) :)
Love that! Way to make an entrance df! :-)
WHEN THIS COUNTRY UNITES WITH ALL DIVERSITY IN THE HUMAN RACE AND HOLDS GOD WHERE HE BELONGS…ABOVE ALL THINGS IN THIS LIFE…THERE WILL BE PEACE!
Once was enough…I don’t know how this happened…Chipster, you can discard this one:)
The universe decided this message needed to be emphasized. You were the vessel, my dear! :-D
You are too kind:)
Good morning TOD family, Chipstcks, lurkers and friends.
Dudette, Pat Fuller’s tweet should be posted twice for it to sink in. Peace, we should be starving for it after 16yrs of constant war.
^5 Jojo! :-)
Try again.
Df, this tweet can be the fist of an ongoing series of disasters that will happen with a Republican president. I’m sure each of us could add to it every day. Here’s my addition: 8. US becomes a laughing stock around the world as bumbling GOP pres. insults the entire international community; 9) We all choke on polluted air, get sick on contaminated water and drown in rising oceans because climate change is ignored; and 10) Our entire education system, electric grid and infrastructure collapse because ZERO dollars are appropriated for any of them.
meant “first”
Yes. The list would be long…and none of it good for the country. Great additions!
KARMA WILL FIND YOU
They are now using the Laws in the books to shield the company from financial calamity.
Karma has a way of visiting those who deserve it so.
G’morning Chips & TOD! Happy Wednesday everyone, and congrats jackie on #1! :)
PUT DOWN THE COFFEE! STOP THE PRESSES!

No shit, Sherlock!
Republicans come up short in search for diverse voters in 2016 election
That said, it’s well worth the read….this, however, is not cause to rest on laurels. We must VOTE, and we must get everyone to the polls that needs to vote!
Good morning TOD
Congrats JackieG
Chips, I think I now know what your # 1 photo of the Obama Presidency is :D

I can’t imagine the joy in the hearts of those who can return home.
A question I’ve asked myself many times…
http://www.salon.com/2015/12/30/congress_members_get_the_kind_of_protection_most_of_us_only_get_at_airports_wheres_the_gun_control_at_my_workplace/
Certain politicians may say that increasing arms, not restricting them, is the road to safety. But doesn’t the rule preventing guns in the Capitol (and in nearly every state Capitol) support the theory of gun control in its simplest form? If guns are not permitted in a specific area, gun violence will be prevented, or at the very least limited. In a country that this year has seen more mass shootings than it has days, the theory bears expansion outside the workplace of those who consider themselves its most important citizens. The Second Amendment is not so sacrosanct when it comes to their safety. And if it is – if the Congress and Senate truly reject the concept of gun control – then tax dollars should not be spent enforcing it for them. Lift the ban on guns in the U.S. and state Capitols and remove the screening processes that keep their employees safe.
and not forget the supreme court, whose mofos enabled the expansion of already stupid 2nd to insane levels.
Most excellent, df. Thank you!!
BTW, as you likely already know, no guns are allowed at NRA HQ, either ….
Happy New Year to you and your family!
Thanks so much, Bobfr:) Not in THEIR place of work…not on THEIR lawn!
AFTER PBO’s presidency is over. There are too many unstable house and senate members along with their friends who could be invited to the Capital during SOTU address.

The US space agency Nasa has warned that the effects of the current El Nino weather phenomenon could be as bad as those of 1998, the strongest on record.
That El Nino played havoc with world weather systems and was blamed for several extreme weather events.
The current El Nino has been linked to several floods and unusually warm conditions in the northern hemisphere.
The phenomenon sees warm waters of the central Pacific expand eastwards towards North and South America.
El Nino is a naturally occurring weather episode which happens every two to seven years.
It usually peaks late in the calendar year, although the effects can persist well into the following spring and last up to 12 months.
Nasa says the current El Nino “shows no signs of waning”, based on the latest satellite image of the Pacific Ocean.
It bears “a striking resemblance” to one from December 1997, the agency says, “the signature of a big and powerful El Nino”.
