Oh, so sad to have to tell you… actually sort of breezy and coolish :) Little sprinkles of passing showers. Sun pops through then hides again. Temp in the mid 70s. Last night, we used a blanket!
Yes, and today, for about half an hour, I put on a sweater, over my sleeveless dress, because my arms got just a bit chilly. So, in other words, winter! :)
Loving this production. Going to breakdown and but the DVD so that I can view it commercial free. I saw the original, with Stephanie Mills, several times on Broadway — LOVED IT! Didn’t care for the movie, just wasn’t feeling Diana Ross as Dorothy; however, Michael Jackson and Lena Horne were OUTSTANDING!
Yep, NCLB, the Republican leadership had nothing better to do before the holidays, so they once again tried to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood, knowing it would be vetoed. Isn’t it comforting to know that we are paying these buffoons to use their time so effectively?
Thanks, AMK. These GOP are insane. For eliminating the “pre-existing condition” alone, Obamacare must stay. Now they want to send millions on the cold streets without coverage.
The measure was passed under so-called budget resolution rules, meaning a simple majority is enough. It has only symbolic meaning, however, as it will be vetoed. Even some GOP senators said their constituents should not be worried because it will be vetoed. What a bunch of ridiculous hypocrisy.
You mean these clowns passed a bill that they knew had Zero chance of becoming law? What a cynical and hypocritical bunch! Obviously, they must have such low regard for the intelligence of their rapid supporters. The only way the ACA act (a.k.a, Obama Care) canever be repealed is when the Republicans control both the Congress and the presidency. There is absolutely no way the ACA will be repealed during the Obama presidency.
If this article is true, it’s pure evil. Gun industry execs say that shootings are good for business. When there are mass murders, the NRA gins up fear that the government will take away people’s guns, which leads to increased sales. This is a business model that must have been devised in hell. The more people die, the richer the industry gets.
Damn, phone and internet went out about 10:30. Fortunately, the cable wasn’t affected; had it been, you’d be raising my bail money! I HATE RCN! Bad when you choose your provider based on the “lesser” of evils!
I had a late night and am just now catching up on #TheWiz. What a phenomenal live performance. If you missed it, when NBC does the replay make a date to tune in. It was so very good.
While we wait for the Early Bird/Rise and Shine here are some of the fabulous scenes.
Wow! Catching up the next day here. I had no idea she could sing!
Thanks for these clips, Donna. I didn’t watch it because the previous live offerings of this type from NBC didn’t interest me and I figured this would be the same. This one actually seems entertaining! I’m going to DVR the rebroadcast of this, for sure!
Thanks for sharing the pics. Does my soul a lot of good to see such beautiful Christmas photos of our First Family. And I can never get enough of those two beautiful kids (big teenagers now).

GGail do you think that picture of Malia and Sasha laughing, they might be laughing at Crosby, S and Nash.
Ha!!! Good thought annieb. 😄😄😄
I am LOVING #TheWiz. Great acting, singing, set design, wardrobe, cinematography, etc.
Kudos to NBC for investing in talented people in front of and behind the scenes.
I agree NW, it is a great show, love the songs and the sets
Loving this production. Going to breakdown and but the DVD so that I can view it commercial free. I saw the original, with Stephanie Mills, several times on Broadway — LOVED IT! Didn’t care for the movie, just wasn’t feeling Diana Ross as Dorothy; however, Michael Jackson and Lena Horne were OUTSTANDING!
BTW, went to website looking for a Playbill (there wasn’t a .pdf), however, lots of videos, pics, etc… http://www.nbc.com/the-wiz-live
it’s raining jtp’s and vicky’s here.
Are you or your family close to the flooding?
We were till yesterday. Now, we are home which is safe despite torrential downpour…. Hopefully.
Stay safe, I have always had a fear of floods. I can handle almost any storm but floods awful. We know there is no such thing as climate change.
Be safe, amk!
DAMN IT! http://www.rawstory.com/2015/12/visa-helps-fund-nra-zealots-despite-horrific-mass-shootings-and-public-pressure-for-them-to-stop/
Now I have to get rid of THAT card!
to bt, with love (and flowers)
gotta run, bye.
Good Evening TODVille.
Thanks for posting the event of our lovely First Family! I missed all the day’s events.
Speaking of events, is it true that the Senate passed a bill to repeal Obamacare?
Yep, NCLB, the Republican leadership had nothing better to do before the holidays, so they once again tried to repeal Obamacare and defund Planned Parenthood, knowing it would be vetoed. Isn’t it comforting to know that we are paying these buffoons to use their time so effectively?
In Order To Pass Some Democrats had to vote yes, correct?
Who are these fools?
The thugs passed the voted 52-47 using some archaic senate ‘rules’. I don’t think any dems voted for it.

The measure was passed under so-called budget resolution rules, meaning a simple majority is enough. It has only symbolic meaning, however, as it will be vetoed. Even some GOP senators said their constituents should not be worried because it will be vetoed. What a bunch of ridiculous hypocrisy.
However the article posted by AMK gives a bleak picture of what may happen should either one of the GOP clowns win the presidency.

The Wiz is on POINT!
Will that be coming on again? I missed the Wiz. Sorry I did. :(
Dinner time for me, but before I go…
Been loving this tune by French rapper Lady Laistee these days.

Damn, phone and internet went out about 10:30. Fortunately, the cable wasn’t affected; had it been, you’d be raising my bail money! I HATE RCN! Bad when you choose your provider based on the “lesser” of evils!

Good Morning, Everyone :)
Good Morning Everyone.

While we wait for the Early Bird/Rise and Shine here are some of the fabulous scenes.
I don’t know how long NBC will let this one stay on youtube so see it before its gone. Uzo Aduba…. there are no words!!!!
Wow! Catching up the next day here. I had no idea she could sing!
Thanks for these clips, Donna. I didn’t watch it because the previous live offerings of this type from NBC didn’t interest me and I figured this would be the same. This one actually seems entertaining! I’m going to DVR the rebroadcast of this, for sure!
It was a fantastic and there were many great performances but my actual favorite was Mary J Blige. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJLj5Bxuubo
