Howdy do
GGaaaaaaaaaail! Congrats Dahhhhling! :-D
Heyyyyyy Now!!!
Thank you Sista Dudette, you sure know how to make one feel so Special <3 (hugs)
Hugs backatcha! :-)
GGail - look at you, up there on the podium! Loving all the great pix from today!
:-) :-)
Hahahahahah!
I truly lucked up :D :D :D
WHICH IS MORE THAN CAN BE SAID ABOUT OUR FRIGGIN’ TEAM!!!!!!! :evil:
Oh No! is today Thursday???
Dammit, I’ve been knee deep in two Proposals and have lost track of time.
Well hell - we can’t win with Stats like this!!!
FULL-TIME STATISTICS
Possession: Liverpool 58% United 42%
Shots at goal: Liverpool 13 United 8
Shots on target: Liverpool 5 United 1
Corners: Liverpool 7 United 0
You have no idea how lucky you are that you missed that game. IT WAS HELL ON EARTH!!!
I have a question - they win once in awhile, don’t they?
:lol: You. Are. EVUL.
There was a time they did nothing but win!!
Yes, 57 they do - fairly well, but we want Premier League Champion well :-)
I’m not a sports person, but I get it.
As long as you’ve been hanging on TOD, I bet you do get it :-)
We may not always understand what is happening, but we’re family, so it’s all good <3
Like, I have no idea what happens in rugby or if a cricket match ever ends :D :D :D
that’s a nasty crack.
I love my TOD family!
I see I’m gonna have to make a phone call to my “little friend”…
I’ve missed everything today. What has got the First Ladies laughing so hard?
I love the look of interest and participation on Mrs. Trudeau.
I think I love them already <3
And I love, love, love my First Lady's legs - they are beautiful and so shapely
I LOVE the photos of the two First Ladies laughing as well! Maybe one day we’ll find out what was so hilarious.
keltuc - you and VC are our resident reporters - go get the scoop and bring it back - pronto! :-)
I wish! At first I thought my invitation must have been lost in the mail, but now that Dudette has posted the official guest list, I can see that somebody forgot to add me altogether! My nose is quite out of joint!
“My nose is quite out of joint!”
LOL!!!
Well, you just need to write a strongly worded letter. Post it here first so we can make sure you express your feelings adequately :D :D
Oh, they’d drop a big net on me and I’d be locked up for sure. Though I see that one invitee is listed as “letter writer.” Hmmm. ;-)
Check out Wonkette’s take on it. http://wonkette.com/599553/worlds-sexiest-north-american-leaders-break-entire-internet-with-sexiness
FLOTUS work on those legs to match those arms.
annieb, if I didn’t love her so, I would be green with envy
Look at those pictures!
<3 Love is in the air! <3
Okay, so while we wait for the State Dinner Guest List, thought I’d post some stuff about the State Luncheon at the State Department earlier this afternoon.
Thanks Dudette - I need all the information about today that I can get :-)
Just go back to all of today’s earlier threads. There’s tons of info. TOD’s got your back! :-)
I dunno, I have a thing about the requirement to wear a hairnet on your head, but beards and other facial hair is left exposed with chance of falling, falling, falling.
On another note - doesn’t the black guy look like Sir Charles Barkley???? :D :D
Just think about the extent to which POTUS wanted to shade the PM. Had the Stanley Cup flown in from Chicago to the State Dept in DC, so PM would see it when he came to the luncheon! Bwaahahahaha! :-D :-D :-D
Gurl - that could cause International discourse! :D :D
Food fight at the State Luncheon :-)
Oh you missed this! Watch the video! :-)
Hahahahahaha! Maybe that’s what made the First Ladies laugh so hard.
Thanks Dudette {Mwah!}
LOL! That’s so wrong :)
I’ll be he does wish he was back here. :-)
The magic of today - we can make anything look like we want it to look.
We all know that caption is not true :D
I retweeted this because I know our Vice President is gonna love this tweet.
Thanks for posting the pictures. For a change, I actually watched this event live. Loved it. As I watched PBO and PMTrudeau together, I thought…..”Oh, I wish we could have those two leaders together for four more years!” I’ve got C-SPAN ready for the state dinner.
I’ll be visiting Canada next September…..Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Am very excited!
I feel the same regarding the two leaders, carolyn. How I wish your POTUS was just beginning his first term just as PM Trudeau was elected here as well. But I firmly believe that POTUS is going to continue to make a huge contribution and difference in your country (and the world) long after he leaves his present office.
I moved here to California from Nova Scotia. You’ll love it there!!
This is Awesome. I am loving these posts. Thanks, Chips!
GGail has 2 Au :star: :star:
Wow! Congrats!
Tee hee - thanks Nena :-)
It seems like forever since I was last here :-)
:cool:
OMG, that looks so delicious. I bet he’s running on adrenaline!!
I hope that after school, Malia and Sasha get to hang out for a bit with the cute Trudeau kids. That swing set on the White House lawn must have cobwebs.
Good point. I bet the Trudeau kids would’ve made a beeline to that swing set. :-)
THANKS so much for comments supporting my tweets a couple of threads back. I was on a bit of a rant!
Definitely NOT a rant Meta. That was truth telling pure and simple. It needs to be said and said again and again. Too bad Twitter doesn’t have an auto loop feature to retweet ad infinitum,

Where’s VC’s name???? :shock:
I looked for her there too! Perhaps she’s traveling incognito!
What a list! Okay, it’s a good thing I’m not on it after all, that would be a rather intimidating crowd for me. ;-) Well, they could have dressed me up in a moose or polar bear outfit, and I could’ve been a mascot for the evening. And Cdn First Lady Sophie’s parents are on the list, and PM Trudeau’s Mom as well. Wow. A family affair!
I am happy to see my Congresswoman, Susan Davis and Dr. Davis at the State Dinner.
Love the way PM Trudeau is sneaking a very up-close peek at the beauty of FLOTUS!! Haha, I bet he’s thinking, OMG!!
Glad to see that the President’s sister Maya and her husband are there.
I am also. Have not seen Maya in a while.
The Trudeau’s have brought their entire family to DC.
Trudeaus.
Probably like when the Obama’s traveled with their girls when they were younger and took Michelle’s Mother. It means a built in babysitter allowing a flexible schedule.
If I’m not mistaken, I believe Maya’s husband is Canadian.
It must be almost time for the dinner
Heads up
