Morning everyone 😉
The Obama Diary 
Ms Chips! Thanks for the brilliant coverage of July 4th yesterday, you are the best!
Congrats, Andogriff, and have a great Thursday!
GM, all. VC, yesterday you asked about if during naturalization, if one had to renounce the citizenship of their native country, and the answer is yes. I got my US citizenship August 2011 and the judge told us that we all had to and it was over 3200 of us in total and from every country/continent, though gosh the Brazilians were like 700 of the total. Our passports were not surrendered, but the judge said we didnt have to and remember each passport is the property of the issuing country. So still scratching my head how some claim dual citizenship. Maybe since if one is born in a foreign country, then they are also citizens of that country automatically. who knows?
Congrats on being able to vote for Mr. President this time around, Asher 😆 and thanks for answering by sharing your experience. There goes that flash idea of mine to have my father file for me, because, not intending to be offensive, there is no way I want to surrender my current citizenship. Well,…. maybe if I meet Mr. Right when I’m down south, …and we decide to get married right away, …and he can guarantee that I’ll have my citizenship in time to vote on November 6, …and he can guarantee that he’ll be able to support me in the style in which I dream of being accustomed …. then I’d have to rethink my position on relinquishing citizenship here. We’ll see. 😀
I know, VC. I cant wait to vote for my President. I made my mum lol by telling her that if it was possible, I would stay in line overnight just to be the first person to cast my vote. Though I wished I along with all those people I sworn in with, lived in swing states coz Mass. will obviously go for him, but oh well, I am soooooooo excited. Oh, Vc, you are a riot. Lets pray for the mister right, so you can vote. And whats good these days is that the process is super fast, like 4 months.
I am a dual citizen. Some countries like my native country have agreements with US govt on this issue. The other country has to determine what rights you may have in that country. When I visit my native country I present both my US passport and the dual citizen card of that country thus eliminating my need for a visa
That has been my experience too Asher in Boston. I was attended a few naturalization ceremonies in 2012 and at everyone they had to renounce the citizenship of their native county.
Good morning and congrats on first!
Morning GB, morning VC 😉
Mawnin’ Chips!
I got the rest of the week off so I plan to stick around for a bit. And sleep in.
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawnin’ gobrooklyn, wooooot, enjoy your break – mmmm, sleep: my most loved activity!
Thanks vc and gobrooklyn! Sorry, got carried away getting mesmerized by those fireworks, beautiful!
Hats off for andogriff! Thank YOU!!!! Morning everyone 😉
LOVE this one! THANKS so much Ms Chips!! : )))
This is the new MUST GET picture. 😆
Ha, it is UT! Can’t wait to see Pete Souza’s pics from yesterday, hopefully he has the hat!
Good Morning, Chips & TODville! I see you guys woke up ‘wide-eyed and bushy-tailed’ after all the celebrating yesterday. Well, have a great Thursday! GM Andogriff!
Wow…this is up early. Good morning TODers! Had a good 4th?
Methinks THIS is early! G’day all…. Why do people set off fireworks all bloody night, one wonders?
I hear them around my neighborhood a full week before the 4th. Every year. And they are so lame.
I did see some great ones at the Macy’s fireworks though.
Good morning everyone. I hope everyone had a very nice 4th. The fireworks in my town and the surrounding towns were all cancelled because it’s so dry but was able to at least watch the fireworks in D.C. on television. They were pretty good! DC always puts on a good show.
Looks like we are in for a busy day today. Why doesn’t anyone tell the President it’s way too hot to be running around as he’s planning to do? Just looking at his schedule is enough to cause sweating. Wonder if I should drop a word into the ear of his campaign planner? 😉
Warren Buffett is much richer than Willard. He was asked if he ever had a Swiss bank account, his answer, “No, there are plenty of good banks in the United States.”
HA! Indeed there are.
Yes. There are. Plus, Buffett has nothing to hide.
I’m gonna tweet that.
Good morning, TOD. Will be leaving soon for my weekly trip to see my mom. Walked in the parade yesterday so doing my trip today. Hosting an OFA phone bank tonight–calls to NC. Hope everyone has a super day!
Is Sam Stein on His payroll? Just asking?
Love the new video about the accounts of Mitt the liar Romney.I have nothing against rich people, but as they say there are plenty of good banks here, this is your country you say you love, why all the accounts all over the world?
And I will keep emailing the networks like CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, TeaNN, and asking them why haven’t Mitt Romney release his tax returns? Everyday it seem they had a story about the birthers and President Obama birth certificate, and they knew these birthers (Trump) were lying but they had him on their show talking. Well we know it’s true that Mitt Romney hasn’t release his tax returns, so let the news show find out why he hasn’t.
The things the media focuses on just amazes me. Why are they not hammering Romney for his lies, not releasing his full tax returns, not being honest about his wealth, etc.? Instead, they focus on whether ObamaCare(s) is a tax or a penalty over and over, Donald Trump and his birther nonsense, the President’s vacations, etc. Are there no real journalists anymore on the news programs? Honestly, these people are a big part of the reason we have to put up with the birther stuff and all these other conspiracy theories.
Sam Stein is a tool!
Doesn’t Stein work for Huff Puff?
Yes.
The new owners…AOL….the CEO is Tim Armstrong….who’s name showed up on Mitt’s FEC filing….Tim is a Romney donor….
Linda, nothing else need to be said, that says it all right there.About Sam Stein.
I don’t AOL think has been what you would call Dem friendly.
Meant “ever been”
Indeed. Also, he says different things in different venues. Whenever he appears he is on PoliticsNation with the Rev Al. he doesn’t come with his foolishness. Rev. Al not having it.
I wasn’t a big fan of Rev. Al at first; he struggled quite a bit in the beginning of his show but now, I love to watch him. He speaks the truth and he doesn’t put up with the lies from the Fright Wing. Plus, he’s funny (when humor is called for that is)!
Robney sounds just like Palin!
any questions?
No.
Only difference is Romney went to 3 colleges, and the half term governor went to 5 colleges. Therefore, she must be smarter.
Oh snap! To sound like my teenagers
I guess that would make her a ” snob “
Big time, but she does not want her children to become snobs.
Now that we have celebrated the 236th Independence Day, PRESSING ON and forward to the next with an Obama/Biden administration. With all that we are discovering daily about Willard, it’s becoming clearer and clearer that Willard cares as much about the average American as he cares about the American economy.
This new ad shows that JOBS isn’t the only thing Mitt Romney like to outsource, it seem he likes to outsource his money to banks not in this country.
GM, Annieb. From time to time you share some nice tweet-size bits of ‘wisdom’. 😉 😉
RT’d Yez! Good Tweets!
TY a4A! I see you working hard. 😉
w00t! #GOGOPBO
G’morning Chips, TOD, everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July yesterday. Thanks Chips, for your excellent coverage of Independence Day activities 🙂
My pleasure Hopefruit, happy Fifth of July!
ADP says 176k jobs created for June.
Oh, I hope that is the number Friday!
This beats all estimates, business channels all haz a sad!
Jovie, Last time we count on anything from ADP we were disappointed. So I will just wait and see Friday with no expectation. I will just hope and pray for good news.
They have been very close the last three months!
Jovie, I am praying they are right.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Buoyed by a victory over healthcare reform but stung by poor economic data, President Barack Obama will try to rev up his re-election campaign on Thursday with a bus tour designed to appeal to struggling blue-collar workers in key battleground states.
Obama will spend two days visiting cities in Ohio and Pennsylvania, states that could prove critical to his ability to garner the number of electoral votes needed to beat Republican Mitt Romney in the November 6 election.
The president, a Democrat, is launching his first bus tour of the 2012 campaign against a backdrop of mixed poll numbers, fundraising challenges, and outside threats to an economy that could derail his chances of re-election.
An average of polls by RealClearPolitics shows the president ahead of his Republican rival by a tight 2.6 percentage points in Ohio and nationwide.
Obama is polling particularly well with women and Hispanics across the country, but working-class men are up for grabs. The Ohio trip seemed aimed at least in part at shoring up support in that demographic.
http://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/idINBRE86405820120705?irpc=932
“…but working-class men are up for grabs…” That sounds like good news to me. Didn’t Pres. Obama lose that block in ’08?
gobrooklyn, what is it that Mitt worsre half is saying now? Ann Romney seem to get away with saying things the right and the media would never allow Michelle Obama to say. Wonder why that is? As if I didn’t know.
Here is the tweet I saw:
the woman is despicable.
Yes, she is.
Story on all the sprucing up that is going on at the Wolcot House Museum, and some of the history there. “Company’s coming”, they said. Yes, the POTUS. It’s the first stop today in Maumee. I was hoping it would be an indoor event with AC because sweltering heat forecast there—in the high 90’s. They are expecting 500-700 and will have watering stations and designated cooling off spots.
http://www.toledoblade.com/local/2012/07/05/Wolcott-House-prepared-for-current-President-to-kick-off-bus-tour.html
China and Europe central banks, cut there rates! Should provide a boost for economy.
Fingers crossed this is accurate, I know the ADP thingie has been off before.
Up and at ’em Os!!!! Another hot and hotter day in TODdie town. I’m watching the sit ins for the Joke show and it’s refreshing to see and hear a conversation on a adult level. SE is stating her side and opinion, but without bias. I’m not at the point where other people’s opinions bother me. I welcome hearing what they have to say. My beef is at the network level where they choose to have more repubs and conservatives invited to these shows over a long period of time. Also, the lack of journalistic integrity feeds the beast of always needing controversy. That’s where media bombs come in. We have the power to change the pundit culture whose only motivator is the bottom line. Media bombs include advertisers of the shows that bother.
My political take today is that we need to keep our eyes on the electoral vote map. That’s the most important number. PBO has many paths to get well beyond the 270 needed to clinch it. Pittiful has only one, win each of the swing states. That’s not likely to happen as we see his campaign implode on a daily basis.
Aw, the Wall St Journal isn’t happy with their man –
If Mitt Romney loses his run for the White House, a turning point will have been his decision Monday to absolve President Obama of raising taxes on the middle class. He is managing to turn the only possible silver lining in Chief Justice John Roberts’s ObamaCare salvage operation—that the mandate to buy insurance or pay a penalty is really a tax—into a second political defeat.
…..Meanwhile, the Obama campaign is assailing Mr. Romney as an out-of-touch rich man, and the rich man obliged by vacationing this week at his lake-side home with a jet-ski cameo…..
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304141204577506652734793044.html?mod=googlenews_wsj
I guess they fear this is their John Kerry windsurfing moment.
I think so Ctgirl! The writer sounded very, very, very, very peeved with the Romney campaign, he haz a BIG sad.
—-*covering my mouth with my hand, giggling*—-
UE claims fall 14k, another beat!
Private hiring is supposed to beat expectations of 100 up to 176 thousand, too. Of course that ADP report has been wrong before, but I will pray for it to be correct this time.
Could they be raising expectations so if it is lower then there will be disappointment?
Goooood morning TOD family!
Good morning CHIPSSSSSS!!!!! Good morning TOD fammmmmmily!!!!!
Hello, OMF. You sure are chirpy today. Have a good one!
Thanks. Same to you!!!!!!
Jonathan Martin of POLITICO thinks PBO and Willard are equal debaters. Bring it on.
1st of all, Mitt is not close to the debater Obama is. 2nd even if he was he’s still be a guy who signed Romneycare trying to argue against ObamaCares while attempting to advance economic policy that can’t be differentiated from the Boosh policies that most americans still accurately blame for the recession that nearly destroyed the country.
They have to say this…their jobs depend on it.
How can he be taken seriously when he makes a statement like that? They are not equal debaters. Fifteen minutes in, the President will have gotten Mitt to tell fifteen different versions of the same answer to a question and that will be the end of him.
Eleanor Clift:
Pelosi put everything on the line to push for passage of the ACA.
She had confronted Rahm Emanuel, then the White House chief of staff, who was urging President Obama to adopt a scaled-back version that would cover only children. She dubbed it “Kiddie Care,” likening it to the “eensy, weensy spider, teeny tiny,” a legislative effort so small it wasn’t worth her bother.
Emanuel told the Chicago Tribune after the vote that he had advised the president about the political cost of doing this. “And thank God for the country, he didn’t listen to me.”
Yes, Pres.Obama wasn’t Rahm’s puppet like the PL used to claim. He has his own mind.
bah ha ha
We always stop at the Homewood Suites in Maumee, Oh. on way home to Illinois from visiting daughter and fam in Ct. When we were there a month ago, they upgraded us to a 2 bdrm., 2 BATH! unit—-room to spread out, our own bathrooms!!! That’s the secret to a long life and marital bliss—-separate bathrooms! Anyhoo, we have been amusing ourselves pretending that President Obama is staying there (he’s not, but whatever) and wondering if he has as much influence and would also be upgraded. (we’re easily amused) And while I’m babbling, I always like staying there because I have access to the Toledo Blade, still a great newspaper. And, other than it being a Hilton property, Homewood Suites is a great value place to stay—-provide breakfast AND dinner!
“That’s the secret to a long life and marital bliss—-separate bathrooms”
😆 Great advice Dotster!!!
I read one of Newton Leroy’s demands for speaking engagements are two bathrooms in his hotel room. Maybe it took him two marriages to realize that “secret”.
It’s the truth!!! That’s what hubby and I always answer when asked the secret to our long marriage!
Good Morning Chips & TOD’s, Ann Romney not happy with the President….. Ann Romney: Obama’s whole campaign strategy is “let’s kill this guy” – CBS News http://cbsn.ws/L2cJwO heh
Politics ain’t beanbag & no, it’s not “our time” for you & Mitt yet! Mitt wants to sell off what’s left of our govt. Really despise these people!
” Kill ” ? Republicans are always using violent rhetoric…..What is up with that ?
She got that from a Politico article from last year. Whoever gave them info which they listed as “Democratic Strategists” in the article that basically, the president’s strategy would be “Kill Romney”.
Good morning friends. I did not see Miss Ann complaining when Robney was running all of those nasty ads against his opponents in the primary. Our ads must really be working. I have never and will never hear Michelle say anything like that. Ann is to thin skinned.
Meanwhile…Ann please run a comb through your hair.
Morning Chips and everyone….
Say what? omg she has a lot of nerves…….
So does Miss Ann think this will yield any fruit like the statement by Hillary Rosen. She is grasping for straws. I certainly hope no one issues any apologies for anything.
She’s a real piece of work isn’t she? She’s your combination of a pearl wearing Palin & let them eat cake Antoinette. They see themselves as victims when PBO is not attacking them, he’s defining the Choice and fighting for a more fairer, equal opportunity Country for all.
“I feel like Mitt’s got the answers to turn this country around,” she continued. “He’s the one that’s got to bring back hope for this country, which is what they ran on last time. But the truth is, this is the one that has the hope for the – for America.”
If Mitt has the answers, then why isn’t he telling us what they are? All he says is the equivalent of, “Obama bad, me good.” He says he’ll just do the opposite of what Pres. Obama has done but he doesn’t say how. How is he going to put Americans back to work? Ship them to China? The only thing people can hope for in a Romney presidency is that they DON’T get shipped to China.
As for Ann Romney…She is a shrill woman who thinks it is okay for women not to get the kind of care she received for breast cancer or the kind of care she receives now for MS. Her husband is going to try and get rid of the law that requires insurers cover preventative health care – mammograms and other screenings. It was a mammogram that found HER cancer. Why would she deny that to other women?
She’s just as full of contempt for the majority of Americans as her husband is.
In a news headline this morning I saw an article title hinting that Ann Romney is saying there may be a woman chosen for VP. I have continually thought Condaleeza Rice (regardless of her saying she will not run) might be chosen. She would fit many categories foreign policy, female and Black. The hope being to peel away voters from PBO in Mitt’s weak areas. Some have said Mitt would not choose her due to her closeness to the Bush term, but most all of his advisers are from GW.
He is working with a female governor from the NE now and there is one from the SW that also fits the Hispanic category.
Hope the woman of America do not forget the policy war against women in the GOP.
or maybe they’re just dangling the idea of a female veep to keep their women-folk hopeful.
I don’t see a problem with that. Ann is quite naturally sticking up for her guy. Having said that the Team Obama must be very effective if she’s complaining about their strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s just echoing what Mitt has been telling her.
MAUMEE PREPARES FOR PRESIDENTIAL VISIT:
MAUMEE, OH (Toledo News Now) – The City of Maumee is getting ready to host a visit on Thursday from President Obama at the historic Wolcott House Museum, in hopes of history repeating itself in Ohio this November with voters re-electing the President.
“We’re so excited and honored the President selected Maumee to visit,” says Mayor Tim Wagener.
The President’s Betting on America bus tour is making numerous stops in Ohio, to focus on efforts to get the national economy back on track.
“If it wasn’t for the auto rescue effort our area would be facing unemployment in the range of 30 percent, not 7.6 percent currently in Lucas County,” says Wagener.
“The local auto suppliers were saved,” says Maumee Councilman John Boellner. …
Up to 700 people are expected to attend Thursday’s campaign visit by President Obama. There are no tickets left for the event, which is scheduled to begin at 11:15 a.m. http://www.toledonewsnow.com/story/18946246/maumee-prepares-for-presidential-visit
There are no tickets left for the event…..#Name something that will never be said about a Romney event
GM all – Yes, nice try Ann – but we’re not going to let you change the subject which is : ‘Where are your and your husband’s tax returns’? And speaking of killing – the only thing likely to be killed would be the US economy should he ever get his hands on the presidency with all your husband’s outsourcing and firings, entitlement benefit slashings and tax avoidance for himself and his wealthy, greedy friends.
Congressional Republicans on Thursday dispatched some of their best and brightest to the Supreme Court in heady anticipation of the GOP triumph that never came.
But when Chief Justice Roberts announced the decision upholding the Affordable Care Act, Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch “folded his arms across his chest, his mouth slightly agape.” His slack-jawed response was altogether fitting.
After all, the same Orrin Hatch who now describes so-called Obamacare as unconstitutional and “an awful piece of crap” in 1993 co-sponsored legislation with an individual mandate at its center.
And as it turns out, while he and his GOP colleagues are now protesting how the Affordable Care Act is funded, Hatch acknowledged that when President Bush signed the $400 billion Medicare prescription drug program into law, “It was standard practice not to pay for things.”
Stephanie Cutter is coming up on MSNBainC!
Love Her.
just read a tweet from WH Press Corp about a plan carrying a barner for the lying out-sourcer in chief flying over where PBO is going.
My response to their nonsense was that FAA will take care of that or else look for F16 fighter jets to clear ALL Crap from the POTUS air-space
GM Everyone,
During the primaries, Romney said that he was going to hang POTUS with the bad economy. Ann also promised to do harm to reporters. I cannot remember the verb she used, but I think it involved a rope. She got no bad press for that. FLOTUS would not have been so lucky.
Nope. Michelle has to be uber sweet and non-controversial. Can’t even wear shorts above the knees.
Saw Ann Romney in shorts yesterday and I am yet to hear an outcry from the right.
that’s because everybody who saw that photo is still gagging and clutching at their eyes.
President Obama departs Joint Base Andrews en route Toledo, Ohio: http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
Chuck Todd is looking like a fool with Stephanie Cutter. Is it a tax or a penalty, over and over again.
Chuck Todd thinks he’s very smart.
Yes and we know he’s not…far from it
Any chance we can get Stephanie Cutter to run for President in 2016?
Just saying!
She’s a fantastic surrogate. We’ll probably need her to combat the MSM’s lies for candidate O’Malley 🙂
But, Omalley is behind by 40 points to Hillary in 2016 matchup!
That is significant…
Hillary is not running in 2016. That’s what’s most significant.
Old dreams die hard, Jovie!
Right!
O’Malley
Cuomo
Booker
Warren
Gillibrand

Decided to channel surf since Stephanie Miller is in vacation. Stopped at Chuck Todd. I can’t believe how he challenged every point Stephanir Cutter made! I haven’t watched him in a long time (since Savannah Guthie left) but I don’t remember him being so aggressive. She stood
Her ground and was fantastic but dag! The last question was the worse, asking about Congressmen not going to the convention…ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!
He is a tool for the Republicans…..
His drawers are in a wedgie over President Obama’s re-election.
Ben labour coming up on the Thomas Roberts Show!
Labolt! I phone put in Labour! Strange.
LOL! Is your I Phone a Repub?
Me thinks STUXNET bots are in my phone.
Good morning!!! I’ve been reading and came across this delightful story….read it…it will make you smile:)

The ‘America effect’: How immigrants fall crazy in love
So, Robney chose to spend His initial money on a six Day Bus Tour, that nobody remembers.
OFA decided to spend it’s initial Campaign money on ads, and it’s working.
Any questions?
For you all that are twitter gurus is time to ask Msnbc Christene Welker to shut the F… up she is suppose to cover the President not Romney every report is prefaced about how Romney is doing goodShe damn well knows that unemployment rate in the swing states are lower but she still cliams they are above 8% and she has to have allways say good things about Romney I am just sick of her.
I cannot stand her…and you are exactly right about her Romney coverage….
I didn’t hear her report today, but I always have considered her to be quite fair, even advantageous to Obama. I always thought that’s where her personal sympathies lie. If she’s now giving glowing reports on Willard, I’m guessing msnbc got pushback from the RNC/Willard campaign and she was forced to change her style. I always think that the Repubs are better at hounding the media to force their narratives.
https://twitter.com/scarylawyerguy/status/220878445838729216
I’m still waiting for the media to talk about “the optics.” They spent months complaining about “the optics” of everything PBO was doing, yet we are 4 months from the election and no talk of “the optics” of Romney not out campaigning, but, taking a week off to spend time at his estate, then taking more time off to go to the Olympics, and his wife attacking the President. Also, why can’t Romney give a damned interview without his wife? It makes him look weak, what about those “optics?”
I just watched a very informative video on Youtube from 2010. A CBS report Banking: A Crack In the Swiss Vault .
Brad Birkenfeld is an American banker who formerly worked for UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank.
He is the first person to expose what has become a multi-billion dollar international tax fraud scandal over Swiss private banking. Despite his unprecedented, extensive and voluntary cooperation, and registering as an IRS whistleblower, Birkenfeld is the only person sentenced to prison in the US as a result of the scandal.
That is awful…..I totally disagree with this Admin on their whistleblower treatment.
Esshhhh after just reading about it…..I just don’t understand, this man didn’t deserve this……
We don’t know 1/10th of their financial activities over the years, it’s all secret. ….Mitt Romney and his wife and their 5 sons…they are tax cheats…..
I can’t believe he is getting away with not providing his tax returns….wow
Florida Lifeguard fired for saving Drowning Man.
Please define Lifeguard?
I saw that yesterday and just about screamed. I hope those guards find work somewhere that values what they do. This was ridiculous. So much for “outsourcing” WTH were they thinking!!
I read that. Thank goodness these young men did the right thing rather than focus on “policy.”
Good morning, everybody! I know there are some prayerful folks in here, so I come seeking your loving prayers. I just got a call from a recruiter about a 1 year contract with a financial institution as a project analyst. It would be a great opportunity for me. Please pray that I get it! Please!
Oops! forgot to say, Thank you! 🙂 I’m just so excited! 😀
Prayers are definitely going your way. Plus fingers and toes crossed. Plus eyes crossed. Plus rubbing rabbitt’s foot (fake one). Plus pulled out my cache of 4 leaf clovers. Plus anything else I can think of.
LOL! You’re covering all the bases, Japa! Thank you! I don’t know if I’ll get the job, but it’s a new req and the recruiter said my qualifications fit perfectly. I talked to him and got a good vibe. He sent me paperwork to fill out and fax back and ask me if I’d be available to go meet with the client next week. Let’s just hope I make an impression. 😀
Sending prayers for you sis!
Thank you, Sis! Thank you for everything. You’ve been there for me since day one and you haven’t stopped. Just thinking about it makes me cry. If I get this job – a job at this point. LOL – I wouldn’t have failed you and your trust and support would have been worthwhile.
Big hug!
WOOOH HOOOOO!!!!!
🙂
Positive energy and reflection being sent your way.
For those of you who do not pray please scroll on by:

Good luck to you Hachiko!
Thank you, Christi!
Oh my gosh, Hachiko, BEST of luck. That would be such a great job for you!!
It would, meta. And the pay would be commensurate with what I was earning at my last job and that would be fantastic. I could get back on my feet here with that income, and save up to move back to NYC, or wherever the heck I choose, after my contract is up (and if I don’t renew).
I personally LOVE this kind of work because it’s project based and there are real measures and outcomes and you have to sink yourself into it. I know you’ll do a great job. I so hope everything works out for you!!
Me too! And I can take my work anywhere with me. I love the flexibility and challenges it provides. Thanks, Meta. 🙂
Best of luck Hachikō!!!!!
Thank you! I want to be back here in a few days say, “I got it! I got the job!” LOL. Dear Lord make it so.
YOU KNOW THAT I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!!!! Everyday. All day. Honestly, the tide will turn for you now…I feel it. Only good thoughts and wishes. xoxoxox
I know you are! You warrior princess you! Thank you, my dear. Thank you!
Hi Hachiko, wishing you all the best. That you will be successful !!!!!
Thank you!
Oh that’s WONDERFUL news!
I’m sending up fervent prayers for you, Hachiko! You deserve nothing but goodness! Blessings to you and Tucker!
Thank you! I will give Tucker a hug for you. 🙂
It has already happened, it is done. You have been guided along your journey to accomplish what you set out to do so far. You’ve done this under extremely difficult circumstances, keeping faith in a power that makes all things possible. Why wouldn’t this happen as well? It was written long ago, that these were steps along the way that you had to take, to get to what is promised for you. I believe this. It is done.
🙂
I can barely see to type this through my tears. What you’ve written has touched me so deeply. So deeply. Thank you. Thank you so much.
Hachiko, we are all pulling hard for you to get this job!
Thank you, Judith!
Best of luck to you in getting this job! Very exciting news.
Thank you so much!
prayers coming your way
One more person praying hard for you. So glad for this news.
Thank you, rikyrah.
Yay! Sending relentless streams of positive energy your way Hachiko for a successful outcome; it’s yours! Our doggie’s paws are crossed for you too!
Thank you! 🙂
