Good morning Anjo, have a great day!
It’s SaTOrDy ;)
Morning TOD.
Au for Amk. Congrats.
Look ahead is awesome. Thanks.
Great picture of Master Danny. The young is growing handsomely into a stud ;)
:-) Mooooooorning Nena!
stud??? obviously, you missed the danny’s vet visit…. As does he, his.
I saw something and I selectively had a sudden attack of temporary amnesia. Master Danny is a Stud ;) Yes, Amk. Studs come in all shapes. Danny is Doggie GQ style.
tnx neen am totul stud :cool:
Sure Danny. Yes :cool: you are.
I am <3 this Col ;)
[Sigh!] I has having SUCH a lovely morning til I saw these faces. Urgh! I need some caffeine.
But Col Davis is awesome!
LOL. Perfect.
Good West Coast morning Chipsticks & TOD.
Chips, please repost the pic of Danny from the Early Bird & his baby pic!! He has grown so much and is looking healthy and happy.
Here he is GGail!
He is getting truly extraordinary sounds from his farting cushion, the garden is shaking.
Well Danny, you are gorgeous…and you have beautiful teeth!
tnx layl mi teet r gorjus
What a good looking lad !
Thanks Chips.
Happy farting Danny LOL!!!
:lol: Gee, thanks GGail!!
YOU bought it.
Well, that’s true. Seemed like a good idea at the time. :???:
And look at the joy it’s bringing your baby!!
Wow Chips, Danny has grown so much. He is beautiful.
He’s huuuuuuuge COS, about 90% of the weekly food shopping is his stuff!!
The U.S. media is just as sick as Dick Cheney. All they want is some liar like Cheney to come on their show and disrespect, trash President Obama.
If they were going to hammer Cheney I would have no problem with this. Something tells me that won’t happen and all he’s getting is a platform to spout his idiocy with fear of zero pushback. To Cheney it’s going to be like Meet The Press with Tim Russert all over again.
G’morning Chips, TOD, lurkers, everyone! Happy Saturday everyone, and thanks Chips for the wonderful R & S round-up.
Amk I thought I bid you good night on the last thread (even though you didn’t appreciate my kind words). Why first on the R &S? Congrats and enjoy your pizza. :)
Got 5 more hours to bug you all…. Ok. make it 4 since I have to be up early to catch a plane.
Oh Gawd, that’ll feel like a lifetime.
yes, you can.
Gooooooooood Morning TOD Family!
Gooooooooood moooooooooorning Duuuuuuudette!!
Greetings Great Diva of Blogdom, Empress of TODsylvania, Universal Ambassador to the Democratic Republic of Wet POTUSia! :-)
:lol: Now THAT is one heck of a title!!!!!!
I think it suits you! :-D
I probably shouldn’t insist on you all addressing me by my full title, it’d take you 10 minutes to write your comments :-)
{perfumed handkerchiefs flutter as we curtsy & genuflect to your supreme wonderfulness} :-D
GM, Dudette! I see you rejuvenated yourself with some rest. :lol:
Have to say, EVERY time I read your greeting to Chips-a-doodle I chuckle. The titles all seem so wonderfully appropriate, plus they have a sort of ring to them. :) :) You may just be a candidate for a TOD wordsmith trophy to place alongside your TOD DJ-extraordinaire trophy!
Tee-hee-hee! Thanks V! :-)
YVVW, Dee! T*Y* for all you bring to this community! :)
{{{ vcprezofan2 }}}
Yes indeed. It’s Saturday……Saturday……Saturday and that’s alright ;)
Sweet Dudette is in the TOD Hamlet.
Hiya Nena! Good to see ya! :-)
GM Dudette! You are so clever :-)
Wassup, Girlie-G! You’re so sweet! :-)
(((hugs)))
GM Todville,
Love that this thread’s front page is opened and closed with beautiful FLOTUS photos.
My heart is warmed by the photo of FLOTUS and the girls with a beaming Nelson Mandela. I’m so glad that they were able to visit Africa when they did.
JER posted this on the Early Bird thread:
The banner front page headline on the print version of our local newspaper (alas, not available on Newseum.com) today is:
County unemployment rate drops to 5.9%.
This reminds of how things were in the mid-aughts before GWB’s disastrous policies caught up with the financial world in the Sept 2008 financial meltdown. I’ve mentioned before that EVERY retail store I’ve been to recently has a NOW HIRING sign in their windows (and I’ve done a lot to stimulate the local economy recently, LOL). With so many businesses hiring, I’m getting a sense of desperation on their part for new employees.
Looking forward to recovery summer 2014, onward toward #LandslideDems2014, despite the best (aka unanimous and feeble) efforts by the GOP propaganda machine (aka the MSM)
Happy first day of summer, everyone. Sorry to hear about the relentless rain in Minnesota — please send your excess to California.
Two additional thoughts…
LOVE FLOTUS’ easy elegance in the first photo — such a glorious role-model to all the world’s citizens.
CA unemployment rate drop is not a fluke. In the late aughts, MSM/GOP proclaimed in lockstep that CA was ungovernable. Let’s take a look at the actual states that are ungovernable — the ones “governed” by GOP governors and/or state legislatures, shall we?
Good morning. What a nasty shock, to be enjoying a picture of beautiful, sweet Danny, and one slight scroll down: BAM: A massively inflated MAGGOT stuffed in a suit with glasses perched on it’s folds. BLECH. GACK!! Must go…………..RINSE EYES with CLOROX.
Happy Saturday TODers.
amk, congrats on first.
Heeeeeya Chips!!
HellllooOOOoooOOoooOOOooo Africa, a mighty fine Saturday to ya!
Fart Wars:
Oh Chips he is magnificent… shiny and beautiful and full of fun :) :) His fart toy- brilliant idea- it makes him happy~
He’s a hoot sherijr, and he’s now figured out that he can create, um, an entire tune by squeezing his fart toy in different places. It’s quite a treat for the ears.
lol, Chips you are so lucky :)
Huh, tell that to my ears, sherijr!
Handsome young fella - that Danny! :)
tnx hopfrut i totly iz
You’re welcome hon. President Obama sends you love from Sunny and Bo! Totly. :)
Quite husky….I mean… manly.. voice you have there, Danny-my-boy! You planning to join the nearest barber shop quartet any time soon?
iz reel deap cv i growal reel gud 2
It sure was/is deep! BTW, are you dyslexic - I mean do you see *me* backwards?
Ooooh, how precious!!!
Thanks Chips!
We even get to hear Danny!!!!
Number of days fart toy will survive? Three more days…..
Thus video cracks me up. He sure has grown…what are you feeding him?
Oh JoJo, I wouldn’t give the toy more than an another hour! He’s still mainly eating table legs, human legs, that kind of thing, he seems to double in size every day.
Hi Chips. Have you told us how you “misplaced” hundreds if brushes before Dannysticks? When I read that I thought how? It will make an interesting post :)
She said she ‘ “misplaced” hundreds if brushes before Dannysticks’ somewhere, Jojo? I was right. I just KNEW it was wrongful blaming when she started griping about the latest loss!! Pity I missed her confession; probably made it in the early hours of the morning when the village elders and village judiciary were a-bed.
Uh oh….what did I start :) :) :)
The evidence trail that CC has been unjustly maligning my client. My client and I thank you for this break in the case. :)
Well, they were only temporarily mislocated :???: The latest seems to have vanished in to midair, or down Danny’s throat.
Good Morning TODVille!
So happy to see Danny-The-Boy. What a smart fellow!
Thank you Chips for posting this much needed video of Danny!
:-) A pleasure No Child, he says wuff!
:grin: :grin: It sometimes surprises me how closely thoughts overlap in the village. My fingers referred to young Danny as ‘Danny-my-boy’ and I move down a couple of comments only to discover that you had referred to him as ‘Danny-the-boy’. Great minds and all that, eh? :)
Wow, he’s grown. What a mature bark he has! :-)
I love the fart toy! Brilliant!
He has a very manly bark, Dudette, and he’s so proud of it he shares it with me, oh, 10 hours a day :-)
LOL!
lol. the boy’s frustration shows.
Min. No patience. /smh
#mom’sfault ?
Hey everybody,
Can someone give me a mini tutorial on how to post a pix with a tweet. For example, if I wanted to post picture of FLOTUS and the girls with Mandela or the flyer for the equal pay. Thanks.
Hey, africa.
So drag and drop the photo on your desktop. Then when you write your tweet, click on the camera icon just below on the left. It will bring up the tab for you to choose the photo. Just choose the photo from your desktop (or folder if that’s where it’s stored) and click on it and twitter adds it to your tweet.
Meta, thank you so much. It worked. Now, can I ask how to do something else? I want to be able to put a check mark next to a tweet. For example, if I am making a list and want to put a check mark by each one.
Great!
I think those check marks are like emoticons or something. You can simple copy and paste into your tweet, like this:
✔
I just googled for a page of symbols you can copy and paste and found this website:

Today is the first day of Summer and the
longest day of the year.
It feels like the longest day of the year too, but that’s only because Amk has time on his hands before his flight.
yes, he can.
Just remember amk, Chips said that, not me…
I so it is the longest day and shortest night? I am looking forward to the days being longer. Where’s Mighty Pam our in house astrologist?
Dick Cheney has a perpetual nasty snarl on his face. He’s incapable of any other facial expression. His soul is ugly.
Or hasn’t met, Cheney, McCain, Alaska Barbie, Christie, or any number of GOPs with inner ugly.
what, you want their pictures too here?
No, I don’t; one snarly uglie is more than enough! Was agreeing with you to an extent.
I agree africa, that video is INDEED a must see!
The ultimate “I know you are but who am I”.
Sorry…this works better for me… Morning, Dudette:) Morning, TOD
I was getting there, d! But go ‘head, git ya groove on. :-D
:) You’re the bestest DJ EVER…this just popped into my head…reminiscing, is all :)
:lol: In tears - and look at Danny in Kenya with your comb!!
:-) :-) :-)
