I canāt believe it. I wrote the last post on previous thread. Again.
And it was a comment I think all TOD would appreciate.
I feel your pain, Vicki! This happens to me often. Just got home and Iām working my way backwards so I will read your comment shortly š
So on point!
Our President is loved…loved..
especially today:-)
great!
this is something that should land in the WH or PBO mail box - like PBO said last week, even Presidents need encouragement once in a while;
I know…People from every corner of the world are showing so much love and appreciation….it warms my heart:-)
I signed one of the OFA cards last week AND made a contribution š
Off topic - Rev Barber is having a nice turn-out for the North Carolina Mountain Moral Monday. They are putting their Republicanās - State and National on blast! Heās calling them out by name! hahahaha!!!
Me, too. We had to choose which card to sign. I signed the one that thanks him for showing us how to engage others to act so we can move forward.
Aw! Love that pie picture!
So much love for our President:-)
Hey whereās meta? We need one of her delicious delights! š
Sheās busy in the kitchen right now…baking away!
Yum!
Hi Ho, Hi Ho! Bbl. Party on! Pie All Around! š
Style Blazer…has a slide of all PBO rocking suits:-)

š
Yesssss yes yes!
They missed the photo of Pres Obama in a light suit as he was exiting Sunday Service……he look very nice…as someone says….THAT.IS.ALL
Our finest President ever in more ways than one š
Our GQ President..makes anything look good:-)
He sure is yummy… (no disrespect to Flotus and family, of course) If they had Tiger Beat for world leaders, heād be on my wall š
š
I swear PBO stimulates the economy…just by walking or going anywhere…Love It!
Yes, heās a walking, talking stimulus.

We in the Caribbean extend warm birthday wishes to the most caring and hard working leader in the world. Our prayer is that others would emulate you. Here is to 53 more years in which you get to enjoy the fruits of your labour.

But but but cnn sez red alert….
Yo, Alma-b, I see you up there!
I didnāt even realize I was all alone back there, in my own little world! Sigh! And no, Desertflower, I wasnāt talking to myself. I was … I …was… I was meditating! š
Mmmm… pie! I always had cherry pie on my birthday rather than cake. Maybe President Obama will get some sweet potato pie for his birthday.
Itās so heartening to see how much love heās given from all over. š
ME TOO…I DONāT CARE FOR CAKE…I LIKE PIE..HOPE THE PRESIDENT IS HAVING A SUPER PARTY TIME TODAY!
I remember that one. š
I swear I thought the same thing! š
As Kasai mentioned, hereās the best present we could give The President and ourselves…
What I shall be cooking tonight celebrating the missusā new job:
Chicken breast filets, seasoned in Hitching Post magic dust, sauteed in evoo and then topped with habanero jelly
Succotash of corn, zucchini, and red pepper
No starch
Ok, LL, now Iāve got to go order some Magic Dust.
Itās been renamed “Magic Stuff”. Go to Hitching Post website and orderāitās awesome.
On my way! Thanks!
The article doesnāt mention whether this is a state or federal dam, but so many huge public works projects were constructed during FDRās adm that these behemoths must be in need of attention.
From the article:
“A Northern California dam is under repair after it cracked Sunday and prompted nearby residents to panic as officials issued a flash-flood warning…
snip /
…”the cracks prompted concerns among residents who reported hearing a loud boom, according to Fox40.”
Aww! How sweet is that…Thanks for sharing Anniebella:-)
You welcome kasai.

What Hope looks like:-)
“The incident sparked a serious deterioration in the tone of U.S. criticism of Israel, from the State Department, which described the attack as ādisgracefulā, to Obama aide Valerie Jarret, who called it āindefensibleā and all the way to the much esteemed UN envoy and anti-genocide advocate Samantha Powers, who described it as āhorrificā.
The fallout was compounded on Monday morning by the implications of a damning New York Timesā investigation of last weekās bombardment of the school and UN shelter in Jabaliya. The report, prominently displayed both in print and on the web, found that āIsraeli troops paid little heed to warnings to safeguard such sites [of refuge] and may have unleashed weapons inappropriate for urban areas despite rising alarm over civilian deaths.ā The paper found evidence that the school had been hit with 155 mm Israeli artillery shells, which are deemed to be accurate if they land within 50 meters of their intended target.
Such criticism enrages most Israelis, who view it as one-sided and misinformed and willfully indifferent to the long line of justifications that Jerusalem cites in its defense. What Israelis are finding hard to grasp is that for the past month they have been living in a parallel universe to most of the rest of the world. While most Israeli media have provided their consumers with only the briefest of glimpses of death and destruction on the Palestinian side, the rest of the world, including America, has been subjected to ever-increasing doses of scenes of horrendous suffering in Gaza. In todayās Twitter- and social-media-dominated world, the impact of such gruesome scenes spreads wider and multiplies faster than ever before.
Just before the cease-fire was announced, all the injurious elements appeared to be coming together to create a critical mass that threatened to launch a chain reaction that could have brought about a diplomatic meltdown for Israel, not in the distant future but just a few hours away. A cease-fire, if it holds, comes in the nick of time.”
In my essays thatās the point Iāve been making. This hasnāt been a usual Israeli “mowing” operation. Even the last one took place before Twitter was as ubiquitous as it is now. Now itās impossible for such atrocities to not be viewed at an instant world wide.

and then you have this…. It sickens me and a member of Bibiās party no less. What have we gotten ourselves into?
Watching the pro debut at the Rogers Cup of 17 year old Francoise Abanda of Canada. A little shaky in the first set, but doing a great job in the second against Cibulkova. This kid is gonna be a good one.
Dinner menu (only posted to note contrast to LLās from scratch culinary skills):
Costco spinach salad—-excellent, love the poppyseed dressing
Trader Joeās fettucine alfredo—-also excellent, not too heavy, not too light, just right—-like The Three Bears.
Dinner prep—-about 5 minutes—-also excellent—-my typical style.
9 mo. old grandbabeās fave food—-hummus. Isnāt that funny—-and interesting? No?
Your grandbaby has good taste.
Yes, grand baby has excellent taste. Hummus………yummy!!
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES OF THE PRESIDENT WHEN HE WAS A CHILD…MAKES ME SMILE!
Or—-consider none (what a diff world it would be)
Zoom in close on this one (left side of course)
Looks like Malia to me.
Duh! Forgot the link…

Senator arrives at his KY home for August recess.
No doubt startled by the sudden screech of the porch door, a voice from the back room yells: Mitch? Is that you?
š
That tortoise actually looks nice. Mitch can only wish he were that appealing.
