Bob, you summed him up perfectly in one tweet. He’s a thoroughly despicable man, so filled with hate and intolerance, it’s a wonder he can live with himself.
IMVHO, Amk, you should be forbidden to post cryptic messages UNLESS you share the solution within a maximum of 15 minutes (See, I give you some leeway). It is very stressful to be unable to figure out what on earth you are trying to say, then have that unsolved puzzle buzzing around in your head days, weeks, months later – no kidding, very STRESSFUL! Then on top of that to have you adding more….:evil:…and more….; that’s downright unhealthy, mentally discouraging, confidence busting to me some of the aging members of the community. /preaching intonation/ We are a COMMUNITY here! We are here to SUPPORT each other….to build CONFIDENCE….to ….reassure each other HOW SMART we ALL are. That goal is weakened when we ..ahm…ur… well… JUST GIVE US THE ANSWERS!!!! Darn it!
Yeah, I THINK I got THIS one (with your first letter, last letter hint) but I’m still ‘worried’ about the one last week, AND the one weeks/months ago the clues for which I don’t even remember. All I remember is that there was one I didn’t get, and you said you’d give the answer in a few days if we didn’t get it and when I went back looking for the answer it wasn’t there and I felt frustrated and then you referred to it about a week later but still didn’t give the answer and so I went back through the hundreds of comments in the days immediately previous in case I had missed it and when I didn’t find it I was mad at you and then I forgot all about it until you started to give riddles again and I just don’t like it because I never get them right away and then I feel stupid-er than I normally feel and I just don’t think it’s (wail) F-F-F-AAA-IR! And I’m not going to even TRY to solve them in the future, so there! {As if I can turn off my ‘nosy’ nature. 😉 }
Grrr! There you go again! CWP’s??? (You remind me of my annoying older brother who would prod and poke and irritate, then laugh.) Puzzles cannot KEEP YOUNG a mind that’s been allowed to atrophy! You engineering any new minds? Put me on the list for a young mature one. 😉
I haven’t done one since I started hanging in the village come to think of it, and I used to enjoy them. Ah me, I really do need to go get my life brain back from wherever I left it.
For what, you usurer? You are charging for conversation now? Jeez louise! I hope you hear my grumbling RIGHT NOW in the midst of your dreams. 🙄 🙄
Wait just a minute! My eyes may be closing, but I could still see *my* picture. I stayed up late ’cause I notice Utal gave everyone who stayed up last night a personal picture.
😆 😆 😆 😆 [Put those together and you’ll ‘see’ the biggest smile from me.) Thanks so much, Utal. YOU are a treasure! 😆 This was the nicest early morning gift; may I adopt you?
God be with u Mr.President. I saw Lincoln last night I know it’s not on level of the Ptolemaic he was induring at that time but you are getting it from Both sides. I AM PROUD OF YOU!
This is bizarre, JOB! I sometimes wonder, when I read about such things, if I am just dreaming about the past; especially since I spend so much time reading history books.
All of this pales in comparison to Clarence Brandley who was imprisoned for 16 years, 9 on death row, for the rape and murder of a 16 year-old. They finally discovered that Brantley was innocent, but it took three more years to release him from prison. When they finally did, he was rearrested for failure to pay child support. Now that’s some wig-splitting bullshit! Texas, of course.
Well I’m off to lay on the floor of the main picture, right out of camera range. I don’t doubt that I’ll sleep peacefully tonight with the ‘protector’ so close by. Nighty-night one last time, you all!
I think this is the first musical difference we’ve had, but I hope it will be amicable. A few years back I was on a 4-hour car journey with my brother-in-law who played an Annie Lennox solo album on a loop – until I informed him that if he played one more of her tunes, I’d grab the wheel and drive us in to a ditch. So he stopped.
I do so love Annie Lennox; saw her live a few years back at Nokia during the American Music Awards; gave me chills. But being stuck in a car and having to listen to the same album by anyone for 4 hours would cause me to rip that person’s head clear off their neck.
I’m going to try to sleep now, but I’ll probably be kept awake all night trying to figure out what your pic meant. You’re cruel. I want the answer in the morning, otherwise I’ll post a Sarah Palin photo thread.
Wow! Two nights in a row, us TOD night peeps are bestowed a post in our honor. Such largesse is most appreciated Miz Chips! Yippee!! 🙂 I seem to recall reading a story behind the photo of our Prez sleeping on the couch while on the ’08 campaign trail. He said something to the photographer along the lines of, you can take pictures until I start snoring with my mouth open. I thought to myself back then, damn now that’s some transparency for you. The man has nothing to hide. What you see with him is what you get, awake or sleep.
Fais de beaux rêves Mr. President. We’ve got your back
Merci buttercups Miz Chips! This is the only place to come to and unwind after a long day slogging through real life. And I have to say that all the TOD peeps you’ve hand-picked (the Chip-lettes :smile:) to contribute to the bestest blog EVAH are doing a fantabulous job! And yes that means even AMK. Thanks for all you do, as always.
LL, I didn’t see your post about this but I’m so sorry. You are both obviously incredibly resilient and I’m sure this will be become a new opportunity for your wife. It does sting, however. Thank goodness you have each other. Take good care.
Didn’t want to disturb my President and all the people who are sleeping. I hope everyone has a restful night. Many thanks to Chips, AMK, UT, LP for all your wonderful posts.
Weekend Today opens with an exciting segment they titled “First Family Flubs”, one of their top 3 stories affecting the world this a.m.
News media continues to swirl around the drain—–going, going…..
Replaying Andrea Mitchell’s segment on President Obama’s “flub” (which wasn’t a flub), featuring Nia-Malika Henderson (of course)
lamenting Obama “objectifying women”. I’m starting to think the women not mentioned are jealous of the woman mentioned. Catty backlash.
WOW……they really hate this president and his family. This ALL they have to criticize him and his family on? They tried SO hard in his first term and it couldn’t stick….now they are manufacturing news about more crap that makes them look small and catty. Someone needs to tweet these women the cat sound “meow..hess” to embarrass them…..and the men

The Obama Diary 
NOt sleeping, yet
It’s not always easy keeping awake Mary, so well done.
🙂 That would be me, indeed. If I had to attend the kind and amount of meetings he does, my head would be down on the table with a good loud thunk.
Congrats on 1st Mary.
Chips, this one is for you …
Rest well TODers and #TrustBarack
Bob, you summed him up perfectly in one tweet. He’s a thoroughly despicable man, so filled with hate and intolerance, it’s a wonder he can live with himself.
Maryl1, congrats on being #1! Why are people sleeping so early? Here in California, It’s only 10:00 P.M. on a Friday night.
1:03 here in MI. I should be in bed. I have to start training for getting up on Monday after my lovely break!
You are trooper, mary! I hope you don’t have to go to work tomorrow and you get to sleep in.
zzzzzzz
Ha, serves you right.
😳 Help me out here, what the heck is that?
May you lose sleep over it.
Is it spelling out a message to me? If so, all I can read is Iugi – which is the Intergraph Users Group Italia (http://www.iugi.it/).
😕
Maybe it says, ” I yawn” in which case…that means it’s time to hit the sack….it is for me anyway. Night all….
😆 Night DF!
Hint, it starts with a t and ends with a t.
Naughty boy …. Happy 6 April, amk 🙂

You know what they say ? Puzzles and riddles keep your mind young. That’s why I am heavily into sudoku (and it bazillion variations), cwp’s etc. 🙂
Grrr! There you go again! CWP’s??? (You remind me of my annoying older brother who would prod and poke and irritate, then laugh.) Puzzles cannot KEEP YOUNG a mind that’s been allowed to atrophy! You engineering any new minds? Put me on the list for a young mature one. 😉
Oops! Crossw….. /slap my forehead/
I haven’t done one since I started hanging in the village come to think of it, and I used to enjoy them. Ah me, I really do need to go get my
lifebrain back from wherever I left it.That’ll be 100,000 bucks, please.
For what, you usurer? You are charging for conversation now? Jeez louise! I hope you hear my grumbling RIGHT NOW in the midst of your dreams. 🙄 🙄
Yes, I did. 🙂
😀 😆 😆 Was I whispering sweet nothings? [Yeah! Yeah! Nothing is all I ever say!]
Whaaat?
Seems like I missed my bedtime call. GN, all! Sweet dreams…..(tonight Amk)
I’m off to see if there’s any sleeping space beside PBO, as I am plum tuckered out as well.
Night VC!
Wait just a minute! My eyes may be closing, but I could still see *my* picture. I stayed up late ’cause I notice Utal gave everyone who stayed up last night a personal picture.
😥 😥 No fair….sob.. sob…. sniffle….sniffle.
Here ya go.
Exactly why petite little me won’t have to restrain herself.
UT is WAY more generous on the pic-giving front, I’m just too lazy – apart from the very occasional treat!
Don’t I know (from past experience)! /O why couldn’t I have been awake LAST NIGHT??/
Here you go.
😆 😆 😆 😆 [Put those together and you’ll ‘see’ the biggest smile from me.) Thanks so much, Utal. YOU are a treasure! 😆 This was the nicest early morning gift; may I adopt you?
Those are the BEST. MINTS.EVER. That is all.
Funniest pic ever!!!!!!! 😆
😀 😀 😀
😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆 😆
Guffaws, rivers of guffaws!
I’m screaming with laughter on that one, amk …. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
God be with u Mr.President. I saw Lincoln last night I know it’s not on level of the Ptolemaic he was induring at that time but you are getting it from Both sides. I AM PROUD OF YOU!
Oh, good, now Ohio has a veritable Debtors Prison … soon we’ll be brought back kicking and screaming into the 18th century, in all 50 states:
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/04/05/1829601/ohio-debtors-prison/
This is bizarre, JOB! I sometimes wonder, when I read about such things, if I am just dreaming about the past; especially since I spend so much time reading history books.
Feels like “the past,” sometimes, eh? #FORWARD

They finally discovered that Brantley was innocent, but it took three more years to release him from prison. When they finally did, he was rearrested for failure to pay child support. Now that’s some wig-splitting bullshit! Texas, of course.
Unbelievable! But, unfortunately, we know too much of this is STILL going on, in other states, too.
Well I’m off to lay on the floor of the main picture, right out of camera range. I don’t doubt that I’ll sleep peacefully tonight with the ‘protector’ so close by. Nighty-night one last time, you all!
🙂 🙂 Move over, please.
Similar thoughts, here. 🙂 Goodnight, all!
A little Annie Lennox to light the way.
Confession, LL: I was never a fan. Except of this tune:
But I’m a romantic fool.
I worship at the altar of Annie.
I think this is the first musical difference we’ve had, but I hope it will be amicable. A few years back I was on a 4-hour car journey with my brother-in-law who played an Annie Lennox solo album on a loop – until I informed him that if he played one more of her tunes, I’d grab the wheel and drive us in to a ditch. So he stopped.
I didn’t mind her in her former life….
…. but after that we split up!
Well, okay, I love Annie, but within reason. Annie on a loop would be a bit too much.
I do so love Annie Lennox; saw her live a few years back at Nokia during the American Music Awards; gave me chills. But being stuck in a car and having to listen to the same album by anyone for 4 hours would cause me to rip that person’s head clear off their neck.
But I’m a romantic fool.
sorry, gonna need moar proof.
why are they not blooming ? they are sulking.
I got them cheap – you think I’d spend a fortune on fresh-ish roses for you, mister?
Be grateful, I almost bought these:
romantic fool…. pshaw.
I’m going to try to sleep now, but I’ll probably be kept awake all night trying to figure out what your pic meant. You’re cruel. I want the answer in the morning, otherwise I’ll post a Sarah Palin photo thread.
I shall BE AL in my next life. Or Patti. LaBelle. Or their love child.
And a little Cat Power:

I’m seriously considering changing my first name to “even”.
Hmm, kinda has a nice ring to it 😆 Go for it! 😆
hopefully your middle name isn’t “stephen” then.
ZING! 😆 😆
Still up and catcihing up.
All right all, it’s been a hell of a week. Off to bed. See you all tomorrow.
It’s been a head-wrecking week for you and your wife LL, sleep well, both of you.
It has been LL, but the week is over and you and Mrs. LL are still standing. We’ve got your backs. Fais de beaux rêves.
LL, I didn’t see your post about this but I’m so sorry. You are both obviously incredibly resilient and I’m sure this will be become a new opportunity for your wife. It does sting, however. Thank goodness you have each other. Take good care.
???
Ms LL not feeling well ?
She is progressing physically, Amk; unfortunate job news this past week
Huh ? What job news?
Re wifey. I’ll let him tell you when he wakes up. I don’t like when other people discuss someone’s personal stuff.
Ok.
She was let go from her job. It’s been a hell of a week.
Sorry to hear that, LL.
Think of it as a rest that she needs now. Health is more important.
oh, we had a period of mourning, but now we’re okay.
She was let go on the advice of her boss’s lawyer. Her boss was nearly in tears. It has to do with a lawsuit in which the facility is involved.
Good to know you both are doing ok. Best wishes to both of you.
Dulces sueños Presidente Obama!
What a peaceful picture…
Didn’t want to disturb my President and all the people who are sleeping. I hope everyone has a restful night. Many thanks to Chips, AMK, UT, LP for all your wonderful posts.
