One of the most touching posts at TOD, ever. Thank you NW for assembling the images and thank you Chips for creating and nurturing a community that is passionately dedicated to honoring and sustaining the message in those images.
Congratulations Chips & all who is post on this site. This has been my 1st stop every morning when I sit down to have my coffee & all say long when I have the time to read. Love you all. It keeps me going during the day & keeps my sanity. Knowing everyone here is smart and knowledgeable. Looooove yoooou aaalllllđđđ
He used to go to school every day in more flush times. But with the missusâ job situationâand the fact that our doggie daycare goddess did such a bangup job raising him that he can stay home all day by himself without destroying the placeâwe send him every couple of weeks so that he can run around and see his friends.
He went a couple of weeks ago, and as usual played, er, studied hard. He played so hard that he split open one of his toenails.
We didnât think much of it, as he was caringly licking it and treating it. But on Tuesday we were out back, and I happened to look at his paw. The nail was basically hanging on by a thread, with his quick completely exposed.
We took him to our super-vet yesterday morning. They drugged him up with Dilaudid, removed the nail, and dressed him. The poor guy was knocked out most of yesterday imagining pink elephants from the drugs.
So he has a think bandage around his right front paw, which weâve accentuated by encasing it in a plastic freezer bag so that it wonât get wet. But he handles it with such equanimity that it almost makes up for the times he craps on our kitchen floor.
Heâs magnificent. We were at a stoplight last week, and his head was poking out the window as is his wont. The lady in the car next to us just started fawning over him.
Thanks for the previous thread, Chips! …….Lauryn Hill is one of my favorite artists & lyricists alive….her voice is unmistakeable. To this day the most enjoyable concert Iâve ever been too was Lauryn Hill & Outkast at the historic FOX Theater in Atlanta.
I will never forget that experience….so intimate, and one of the last shows she ever did after releasing her only solo album ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hillâ ……..the Fugees album ‘The Scoreâ is still one the best albums ever recorded:
Poor baby! It is so sad when our babies are hurting and canât say anything about it. Hopefully heâs having great doggie dreams. Does he ever bark when heâs sleeping?
Thank you sweet Chips, Nerdy W., LL, and all of this beautiful family. I am running on fumes, but grace is standing next to me all the way. Precious thoughts and loving deeds holding these wonderful young people together. They are our future and thank I am so grateful that we have a caring, and loving beautiful at the WH and he has a great AG at the DOJ.
Loving thoughts to my Chips and TOD family. This has been very difficult for this little senior, but I know that we will see it through with each other standing together. So much happening which calls for our loving thoughts, meditations, and good deeds. Give a little time in your space for wisdom, and grace to be granted to our wonderful President. He is even stronger with all of us keeping his back.
Pray for my precious brother that he will keep strong and safe because I need him also. He is very calm and thus keeps me calm even while he is doing his terrific job. Wisdom, and safety. PBO will handle it, and we will Stay Together. Good night, my loving TOD family.
Candles lit and hoping for a lovely visit for MightyPamela and her precious daughter. Make your space beautiful for the lovely time together.HZ
“Iâve been thinking about what, exactly, to tell my son when we finish our conversation. I might as well just tell him the truth: that different rules apply, that the different rules are part of the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow that are among this countryâs great sins, and that itâs part of his job as a human being to fight against it. “
I read elsewhere (comment in the NY Times) - 395 years since slaves first came to the US - 150 years since they were freed - and still people have to fight for their rights.
It was a good item prettyfoot - from a man struggling to tell his son the reality of “different rules”
what i have heard so much in recent times is that we are fighting old battles…be it voter rights…womens rights…civil rights…the truth of the matter is the yes we have won victories…but the battle is far from over…what i have learned is that the battle is never fully won…that those who would take away our rights are ever vigilant for an opening to do so again (2010 elections)…we must be ever vigilant to defend our rights….
the culture of racism and prejudice is part of the fiber of America…..just as the fight against it is part of the fiber of America….those who have the power would keep us fighting among ourselves instead of challenging those with the power…..together
the president was able to gather a broad coalition of Americans (the Obama Coalition)…and was able to beat that power not once but twice…so it is not surprising that the beast would bring out its most virulent weapon to rise up against not only the President but the coalition as well….
We the people will continue to fight…against the beast because We Must!
This is so touching and beautiful by the citizens of Ferguson.. thank YOU Nerdy for putting it together and letting us share it. It has all been so heart wrenching.
More impeach him noise from the msm and the rethugs next week?
The exchange of five senior Taliban commanders held at Guantanamo Bay for a US soldier held captive by the Taliban violated the law, an independent US government watchdog agency has said.
The defence department did not give Congress the required 30-days notice before releasing the men, the Government Accountability Office said.
…
Among other issues, Republicans said the Democratic Obama administration failed to give Congress advance notice of the swap, required under federal law governing releases from the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
In response to the criticism, the administration said it could not wait 30 days to make the swap because Sgt Bergdahlâs life was in danger, and said the requirement for 30 daysâ notice was unconstitutional because it interfered in the Bergdahl case with the presidentâs authority to protect US soldiers and citizens abroad.
In a memorandum released on Thursday, the GAO rejected that rationale.
“Because [the Pentagon] did not provide written notice to the relevant congressional committees until 31 May 2014, the same day as the transfer, [the Pengaton] violated” the law, the GAO wrote in an opinion.
I saw that. I guess itâs important to keep up to date on all the attacks ventured against the President ?
Otherwise, one or maybe two could sneak by and injure him, if we are not careful.
What beautiful tribute to Michael Brown. Thank you Nerdy for doing this post. My psyche has really been abused this past two weeks with all the images coming out if Ferguson. Bless the peacekeepers.
Thank you so much for these photos…I know I am late to everything as I am trying to catch up.
I cannot go a day without reading my favorite blog - The Obama Diary - so it takes a long time as so much is happening each day.
This is where I get the truth!
Thanks a mil all you BT … you have made this place HOME!

Beautiful photos Nerdy, thank you.
Hello again, Chips.
Thanks Nerdy!
Thanks, Chips.
Thanks from me, too, NW. Beautiful tribute.
Thank you, Jackie.
One of the most touching posts at TOD, ever. Thank you NW for assembling the images and thank you Chips for creating and nurturing a community that is passionately dedicated to honoring and sustaining the message in those images.
Thanks, Bob.
Beautiful homage to Michael Brown!
And Iâve just spotted that this is TODâs 10004th post - which means we completely missed the 10000th celebration today.
Is it too late to have a party?
Heck no:
Letâs see if this works:
Oh God. :lol:
:lol: Iâm dizzy!!!
Fish-eyed lens :mrgreen:
I must learn how to dance like this. Or post something like this.
Itâs easy, NCLB. Post it just the same way you posted the pictures of PBO. If you want to find gifs, just go to Google Images and search for “gif”.
Thank you, LL.
I am a pro now!
Congratulations!

wow, for “thugs”, the citizens of Ferguson showed a lot of compassion for a slain teen.
In Stewie the Wonderpup newsâŚ
He used to go to school every day in more flush times.

Hereâs my wounded boy:
Oh, the poor little fella! :cry: Give him the biggest hug possible for us LL, get better soon Stewie, you beautiful boy.
you shouldnât be allowed to own a dog.
Stewie would disagree with you.
love the white centerline divider.
Heâs magnificent. We were at a stoplight last week, and his head was poking out the window as is his wont. The lady in the car next to us just started fawning over him.
Your dog is so good to let you do that without him wearing the “cone of shame” to keep him from worrying that paw.
Get well soon Stewie!
Heâs a doll, LL
{{{{ Hugs for Stewie and Papa LL and the Missus!}}}}
Thanks for the previous thread, Chips! …….Lauryn Hill is one of my favorite artists & lyricists alive….her voice is unmistakeable. To this day the most enjoyable concert Iâve ever been too was Lauryn Hill & Outkast at the historic FOX Theater in Atlanta.
I will never forget that experience….so intimate, and one of the last shows she ever did after releasing her only solo album ‘The Miseducation of Lauryn Hillâ ……..the Fugees album ‘The Scoreâ is still one the best albums ever recorded:
Best Fugee song:
Yep….Best collaboration….and the first time I heard her w/o the Fugee crew
Poor baby! It is so sad when our babies are hurting and canât say anything about it. Hopefully heâs having great doggie dreams. Does he ever bark when heâs sleeping?
Oh yes, he will start yelping and twitching. Chasing butterflies, Iâm sure.
Let the poor fellow dream.
To all those who claim (looking at you GGail) that I ate the third monster, here is proof of life.
whaddayamean when it was taken?
I do see the third one. But when was the picture taken remains an issue. XD
wimminz/smh
No comprendo.
Where is the date stamp? None of them are holding up todayâs newspaper? I need way more evidence. They are cute!
Next thing you know, youâll ask for pics of them reading the damned newspaper of the day.
ah, crap.
FIX IT, bt.
I always go to this site: http://postimage.org/, before posting any pics in comments. I was screwing up with the sizes too often.
LOL!!!! ……1020×768
I believe the words youâre looking for is “please FIX IT, bt.”
Itâs done.
Youâre welcome.
danke,
btut.but … you made it too small. Insert #whineface.
Should I be concerned that a conservative Christian business owner who tweets about travel is following me?
I donât think theyâre going to announce the Rapture on Twitter, so, no, honey, not to worry.
GN Village……
All right, folks, off to do some reading and settle in for the night. See everyone tomorrow.

why is it that I get weird people following me on twitter? Some how I doubt they want to be ‘friends.â
I am going to bake a sock shaped cake……..
Dudette, we seem to have similar tastes in music.
This is the perfect tune to end my evening.
Tomorrow Iâm going to look for Mr. Lateef on iTunes.
Thank you for this fine 9:16 before bed.
>^..^<
You are most welcome MadameSoph!
Peaceful sleep.
This is profoundly moving.
Nerdy Wonka, thank you for bring this tribute here.
Thanks, MadameSoph.

Powerful words - I just watched a video from LOD where AG Eric Holder said
“This Department of Justice stands with the people of Ferguson”

“Different Rules Apply”
“Iâve been thinking about what, exactly, to tell my son when we finish our conversation. I might as well just tell him the truth: that different rules apply, that the different rules are part of the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow that are among this countryâs great sins, and that itâs part of his job as a human being to fight against it. “
Brilliant piece. Should be front paged. Thanks for sharing 99ts
But also tell your son…that no matter how dark things look…We have never given up…we fight and we persevere….because to not do so is to die….
We have the strength of Kings and Queens in our wings….and we will forever fight for what is right…and JUST…..tell your son that as well
I read elsewhere (comment in the NY Times) - 395 years since slaves first came to the US - 150 years since they were freed - and still people have to fight for their rights.
