Good Morning Chipsticks, AMK, Sonji, … TOD Early Birds!!!
So Chipsticks, Danny’s hedgehog lasted a couple of days. That’s pretty good.
For me it became a game of sorts to find a toy that would last for more than a few days. Then my family would make predictions as to how long the new toy would last.
When a dog is determined enough, no toy is indestructible.
Evening, 99ts! That was my first thought when I read the tweet. Remorse? I doubt that. Probably trying to finesse history – you know ‘Mandela slapped his wrist, but Georgie Boy didn’t hold any hard feelings. After all he was one of three American presidents who attended his funeral. Georgie Boy was so statesmanlike. Yada yada yada.’
At the time, he was probably giving credence to Mr. Mandela’s words by showing his arrogance, and treating countries that criticized his actions as a nonentities, and therefore discounting their objections.
He discounted everyone’s objections – as did Tony Blair (& our PM which was somewhat irrelevant given our size). I will never know why Blair sided with Bush – both probably thought nothing of what Nelson Mandela had to say – so I still do not understand why either would go to the funeral.
In which case, agree with VC….hoping his current actions will overshadow past actions…attempt to change how history shows him as a person and as a president.
Good morning all. I am off to another church bazaar, the area’s best cookie walk (to load up on holiday treats for visitors) and an outdoor Christkindl market that is an updated version of an historical Christmas event in this area. Have a great day. Wish I could share the cookie treats with everyone. There are dozens and dozens of varieties, all of them beautifully baked and decorated. The national tree is up, decorated and lighted and so is mine. It’s been an incredible week and my heart goes out to the courageous Ukrainians who are struggling to free their country from Russian control. Praying for their safety today as they gather in Kiev.
I swear I was half-drunk last night…I didn’t know what I was saying…could it’ve been the weather? Or maybe I was so excited to see PBO that I lost all rational thought! Perhaps I got distracted by one of Mark Knoller’s silly tweets and needed comic relief….or I was just sleepy..
It’s a long story amk. Billy and Mariah did not do a duet last night. I made a gentle suggestion…hoping that Chips would see the light but she didn’t. And now I find myself begging for her forgiveness, to absolve me of my inequity…I have trespassed against her and am sooo sorry…
P.S. Chips didn’t tell you that she was also being VERY naughty last night- wishing for the rain to cause problems for *certain* singers’ mics, and for SS to arrest *some* folks for saying certain things, etc., 🙂 🙂 But alas, I have forgiven her. Now I beg of her the same…
I’m always wandering wondering, but do you think when animals are posed with guns the photographers make sure the guns are not loaded? Someone posed a pic of a cat with a gun last night and that’s when the thought surfaced.
I have hung around you guys too long – that was absolutely my first reaction before I saw yours. I was also thinking I hope he had already left when that was posted! 🙄 In their eagerness to be ‘fiiiiirst’ with news media never think or use common sense. Sometimes it’s almost like they don’t understand the words they use.
I wonder if you all realize it’s SATURDAY?????? Are you all insomniacs (like me), or do you simply hate sleep?
We-ell, since you all are here already – HAVE A SCRUMPTIOUS SATURDAY!!
Yes, food is on my mind because instead of going downstairs and having something to eat, I washed my face, got dressed, tidied my desk, AND quit stalling to turn on my laptop. Just to see who was insane enough to be signed on, of course. Go figure, most of the regular TOD wackos are on site, plus a few more. 🙄
Just as restful as SLEEPing in, if not more so! After lying in bed with my mind going every which way before signing on, I’m forced to agree. Too lazy to go prepare tea, though I hear offspring moving around, so may tap him for room service. 😀
Yes to the room service!! I love to lounge in bed….my husband HATES that I just don’t jump right out. After nearly 33 years you’d think he’d finally get a clue!
Df, I know you also have the best son in town, but I still have to brag. I yelled down to ask for a cup of camomile tea and got back – ‘It’s made already, mom.’ 😀 I’m soooo blessed!
and a cheery christmasy morning to you! It’s cold here in the Northland. 9 below with 25 below windchill. I’m going to make some hot oatmeal for the chickens. they should be snug in their coop.
Howdy, a4A! I wasn’t aware chickens would eat HO. The things I hear/learn in this village! Bundle up, and don’t forget to make some hot oatmeal for yourself.
Are you kidding me??? He ate his bed? Where’s the rest of it? OMG. Foreign to me….I never really had a dog that chewed things up! I’m telling you, you need to go to the pet store and get him a giant KONG and put his favorite treat inside that thing…..he can’t destroy it.
Good idea. PBO probably won’t play golf today, so Mark Knoller will sleep in and not tweet until perhaps tomorrow when PBO plays golf in the morning or gets ready to go the Kennedy Honors in the evening.
What a way for President Obama and Iranian President Rouhani to meet, Mandela’s funeral though a celebration of his life, can be the impetus for greater peace down the road once trust is restored. Obama, Rouhani, Mandela- gone are the names Smith, Johnson, and Williams-LOL
Think it’s interesting that PBO invited the Bushes to accompany him and Michelle to Mandela’s funeral, and not the Clintons. Maybe PBO did not want to listen to Bill pontificate during the long flight. It must be true, as reported, that PBO can only take BC in small doses, and that flight would be a long dose. And PBO tends to reward and encourage good behavior, appreciative that W has kept his trap shut. And maybe he’s providing cover for W, as Mandela was not a fan, said he was unable to think clearly re. Iraq War, an opinion shared with the world. Whatever, PBO has more grace and largess in his heart than most mortals and may be putting into practice forgiveness, as Mandela taught.
I have a feeling PBO invited all former presidents. That’s who he is. GWB would be the one to accept, desperate to be legitimized. WJC would not be able to be second to PBO…..even riding on Air Force One. I’ve “heard” he’s going on his own, but haven’t heard if Hill is going. As a former SOS, I’m thinking she might want to go. Bill can afford his own luxury flight.
I’m thinking along the same lines as you carolyn. I suspect very much that all living former US Presidents and their spouses were invited by PBO, but Clinton declined to travel *with* PBO for egotistical reasons as you indicated. Meanwhile, GWB gladly accepted because he needs an image boost AND he probably feels obligated seeing that he didn’t attend PBO’s 2nd inauguration.
dotster, I was thinking that exact same thing. There was no way that President Obama could sit and listen to Clinton pontificate on that long flight to South Africa. Though President Obama has shown that he has the patience of Job, but Clinton can at times try any man’s soul.
How do we know that he didn’t invite the Clintons? He probably invited all past living presidents and their spouses. I can’t imagine that he would invite GWB and no one else (including Carter). That would make him seem petty and superficial – especially considering the event they’re going to be attending.
No dotster…not saying that YOU are accusing him of being petty.
I’m suggesting that the media is not reporting accurately and it’s very likely that PBO did invite them all but Clinton may have declined for his own reasons. My assessment that his not inviting them would seem petty is not a criticism of you or what you said, but just a general explanation of why I feel that the media reports so far are not accurate.
I’m sure PBO invited them all. That’s who he is.
And…… one thing GWB did was work to provide money for AIDS recovery in So. Africa. That was the one good thing he did…..and the money he got provided ( forget how) started S.A’s recovery…..at one time it was the country with the highest number and percentage of AIDS victims. Laura has also established a foundation for women and girls in So.Africa. Remember when PBO and Michelle went to So. Africa last spring, Michelle met with other presidents’ wives at Laura’s foundation.
Anyone who know this President knows it is not like President Obama to just invite GW Bush and not Bill Clinton or Jimmy Carter. That is why I believe he invited them all. They have a choice to join him on AF=1 or not. Airforce 1 is a big plane and the President does not have to listen to Bill Clinton all the way to South Africa. The President have private area on that plane meant for no one but him and his family.
Don’t take it personal, it’s just a coping mechanism. They feel more comfortable with someone that looks like them trying to take them to the promise land.
From my Twitter TL, I can tell that folks are having it up to here with MSNBC’s crap on Saturday mornings. Steve Korn Hacky is forming the ass as usual.
This nonsense about President Obama’s speech on inequality being a pivot just makes my blood boil. All of a sudden PBO is supposedly following Elizabeth Warren’s populist narrative. Give me a break. Where has Steve Kornacki been for the last five years. The one thing we can say about President Obama is that he is relentlessly consistent and pragmatic. There was no freaking pivot. I hope Kornacki gets hammered for this crap.
When someone asks you if a victim of rape should be compelled by the state to carry a resulting pregnancy to term, it is not a gaffe if you reply that this hypothetical almost never happens because women’s bodies have a way of preventing conception when they are under stress. It’s also not a gaffe to reply that, while it is certainly unfortunate that rape babies are occasionally produced, it’s all part of God’s plan and clearly God wants that baby to come into the world. These responses are not gaffes because they are actually honest responses that reflect what Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, respectively, actually believe.
They can be “tutored” all they want, but the fact is, THIS IS THE WAY THEY REALLY THINK! It won’t matter a tinker’s damn….it is not genuine. The same can be said about immigrants, or poor people, or the elderly or workers. They can’t hide their contempt. I hope they get their clocks cleaned.
Danny B is soooo fortunate that he cannot be thusly maligned in the …… ‘Age of Tech’! Accused of destroying paperlike toys, but never of shredding a post.
Obama White House.gov
🙂
GM.
Oh crikey, that is brilliant!! Moooooorning Amk!
That is good
Good news and good morning Chips and Amk.
Good morning Sonjia, have a blissful weekend!
Keep ’em coming buster, I’ll just copy and paste them in to R&S and my work will be done 😎
Here ya go.
Good Morning Chipsticks, AMK, Sonji, … TOD Early Birds!!!
So Chipsticks, Danny’s hedgehog lasted a couple of days. That’s pretty good.
For me it became a game of sorts to find a toy that would last for more than a few days. Then my family would make predictions as to how long the new toy would last.
When a dog is determined enough, no toy is indestructible.
Morning swbluega! That game has commenced in my home! And the thing is, I bought the hedgehog at the vets – ‘safe and durable dog toys’. Huh.
wooden bones. No, no puns intended.
Funny you should say that, he’s in the garden chewing a tree trunk he brought home from his walk yesterday.
He is smart like me.
😀 TOD modesty is soooo contagious. Evening, Bro. Amk!
I gave you a VGM already. No more.
I did try it for a few days; thing is it works better in the morning for me as a wake up tool, than it does at night. But thanks, anyways.
At least it’s a tree trunk and not furniture or door frames. [sigh]
He’s already devoured the furniture and door frames swbluega, there are none left 😕
R.I.P. Rubber chicken and hedgehog 😀
😆 Don’t forget the 96 tennis balls Dudette, they’ve all deceased too!
LOL! A special song for the tennis balls! 😀
I’m telling you Chips, get him the hard rubber tire. It shows wear but stays intact.
Excellent suggestion Jackie, my next purchase!!
Howdeeeeee, TODers. Hot tea and coffee for the intrepids!!
VP Joe on the trail
Mooooooorning Meta, love those pics!
Fantastic.
The more we learn about Nelson Mandela, the more remarkable, prescient and courageous he seems.
And GWB is going to his funeral??
Evening, 99ts! That was my first thought when I read the tweet. Remorse? I doubt that. Probably trying to finesse history – you know ‘Mandela slapped his wrist, but Georgie Boy didn’t hold any hard feelings. After all he was one of three American presidents who attended his funeral. Georgie Boy was so statesmanlike. Yada yada yada.’
Probably needs to go on AF1, so he can escape if anyone tries to arrest him for war crimes – only chance to leave the US for a short while.
‘AF1 …only chance to leave the US for a short while.’
You know, this makes sense. 😀
At the time, he was probably giving credence to Mr. Mandela’s words by showing his arrogance, and treating countries that criticized his actions as a nonentities, and therefore discounting their objections.
He discounted everyone’s objections – as did Tony Blair (& our PM which was somewhat irrelevant given our size). I will never know why Blair sided with Bush – both probably thought nothing of what Nelson Mandela had to say – so I still do not understand why either would go to the funeral.
In which case, agree with VC….hoping his current actions will overshadow past actions…attempt to change how history shows him as a person and as a president.
I’m sure you are right – and also, he doesn’t see himself as so many see him – I just find it weird.
Amen. We can never let ourselves be discouraged. Never.

But, but, but, the media told me that PBO is having a year from hell…..
Good morning all. I am off to another church bazaar, the area’s best cookie walk (to load up on holiday treats for visitors) and an outdoor Christkindl market that is an updated version of an historical Christmas event in this area. Have a great day. Wish I could share the cookie treats with everyone. There are dozens and dozens of varieties, all of them beautifully baked and decorated. The national tree is up, decorated and lighted and so is mine. It’s been an incredible week and my heart goes out to the courageous Ukrainians who are struggling to free their country from Russian control. Praying for their safety today as they gather in Kiev.
Enjoy your wonderful plans for the day!
Morning Chips and TOD! 🙂
I’m not talking to you Hopefruit, I had nightmares last night about a Billy/Mariah duet. 😥
I’m so sorry – I beg your forgiveness (down on bended knee, hands clasped)!! AMK!!
I can’t offer forgiveness yet Hopefruit, not sure we can get over this. I’ll get back to you about it.
I swear I was half-drunk last night…I didn’t know what I was saying…could it’ve been the weather? Or maybe I was so excited to see PBO that I lost all rational thought! Perhaps I got distracted by one of Mark Knoller’s silly tweets and needed comic relief….or I was just sleepy..
Pathetic, Hf. What’s this pointing fingers every which way….and calling on Amk for help? Stand up like a wimmin and take your medicine! 😛
I’m trying..I’m trying! I ask your patience and forbearance…it will take a while!
I want billy joel & mariah carey love duet. Now.
I want to get to the bottom of this mystery.
It’s a long story amk. Billy and Mariah did not do a duet last night. I made a gentle suggestion…hoping that Chips would see the light but she didn’t. And now I find myself begging for her forgiveness, to absolve me of my inequity…I have trespassed against her and am sooo sorry…
P.S. Chips didn’t tell you that she was also being VERY naughty last night- wishing for the rain to cause problems for *certain* singers’ mics, and for SS to arrest *some* folks for saying certain things, etc., 🙂 🙂 But alas, I have forgiven her. Now I beg of her the same…
😆 That’s a VERY one-sided summary of last night’s events!
You will not acquit me of my iniquity and thus my soul remains wretched at this hour!
😆 And it’ll flippin’ remain wretched until I can cleanse my head of duet thoughts!
I’m dedicating a nice song to you and Danny here:
For one horrific moment, I thought you’d posted Uptown Girl – pheeeeeeeeeeew! 😆
I must work to rebuild your trust. I have accepted this fate thrust upon me.
Actually, reading down I was expecting a Mariah Carey duet – like, say, with Nicki Minaj.
Oh dear…Chips would be just as mad!
😉 😉
I still want a BJ/MC duet.
You’ve made squirrel angry:
I’m always
wanderingwondering, but do you think when animals are posed with guns the photographers make sure the guns are not loaded? Someone posed a pic of a cat with a gun last night and that’s when the thought surfaced.Oooooo, me too! Where? What time? 😀
..
Actually, not. The website is live but it’s not entirely in Spanish yet. Chips, could you please delete my post?
OOOOPs, never mind. It’s only the plan comparison page that isn’t translated, probably because it’s too complex to be done by each company.
No problem Meta, done!
If that ain’t the most ironic twitter name / tweet I’ve seen in a while, I dunno what is!
Thank you Security Clearance people for announcing the Secretary’s secret visit. WTH?
I have hung around you guys too long – that was absolutely my first reaction before I saw yours. I was also thinking I hope he had already left when that was posted! 🙄 In their eagerness to be ‘fiiiiirst’ with news media never think or use common sense. Sometimes it’s almost like they don’t understand the words they use.
They understand. They don’t give a shit. It’s all about being first/ratings (money). Country be damned.
Truth!
Surely there have to be 5.4 million governor votes there IF the democrats stop distancing themselves from health care / PBO.
teh stoopid is strong there. Have you seen their senators, reps and govnors? dubya. ’nuff said.
GooOood MooOoorrrning, TODobots!
I wonder if you all realize it’s SATURDAY?????? Are you all insomniacs (like me), or do you simply hate sleep?
We-ell, since you all are here already – HAVE A SCRUMPTIOUS SATURDAY!!
Yes, food is on my mind because instead of going downstairs and having something to eat, I washed my face, got dressed, tidied my desk, AND quit stalling to turn on my laptop. Just to see who was insane enough to be signed on, of course. Go figure, most of the regular TOD wackos are on site, plus a few more. 🙄
And a very good morning to you too.
Thanks. Confessing I’m still half-asleep though, eyes burning and all that.
Have you heard of B&B ?
Depends. The regular B & B or one you’ve concocted?
Who you calling a “wacko?” 🙂 Morning to you, too!
O my Lord, *you* are here too! It’s Saturday, for crying out loud! You are allowed to sleep in! {{{Df}}}
Sweetness, that’s what happens when you go to bed at 8pm! Woke up at 5:45ish…..have my coffee…reading TOD….Happy woman:) That IS sleeping in:)
Just as restful as SLEEPing in, if not more so! After lying in bed with my mind going every which way before signing on, I’m forced to agree. Too lazy to go prepare tea, though I hear offspring moving around, so may tap him for room service. 😀
Yes to the room service!! I love to lounge in bed….my husband HATES that I just don’t jump right out. After nearly 33 years you’d think he’d finally get a clue!
Min!!!! 😛
Df, I know you also have the best son in town, but I still have to brag. I yelled down to ask for a cup of camomile tea and got back – ‘It’s made already, mom.’ 😀 I’m soooo blessed!
and a cheery christmasy morning to you! It’s cold here in the Northland. 9 below with 25 below windchill. I’m going to make some hot oatmeal for the chickens. they should be snug in their coop.

you know it! 😀
Now I do.
Thanks to you. 😀
Danny O’Chipsticks’ Super Hero Identity: Plunder Dog! 😀
Oh, add to the list his original bed:
Are you kidding me??? He ate his bed? Where’s the rest of it? OMG. Foreign to me….I never really had a dog that chewed things up! I’m telling you, you need to go to the pet store and get him a giant KONG and put his favorite treat inside that thing…..he can’t destroy it.
It needed ventilation. He’s problem solver! 😀
😆 That’s a positive way of looking at it!!
Who needs a bed when he can sleep on yours….or the couch…or chairs…..
Besides, that puppy bed was just an over-sized toy anyway. 😉
At this rate, he’ll EAT the bed.
😆
Here are chips’ house rules for Danny.
Oh well, Guess Danny ate half of this too.
Any house rules Chipsticks makes are subject to editing and approval by Danny.
If you at the rules, they WERE written by Danny.
I see you.
Re-size the pic, will ya?
Just did!!! Those rules are SOOOOOOO spot on!!! 😆
Those rules were made
forby our Jenny.🙂
LOL! They’re also subject to being eaten!
😆
Good Morning Neighbor! How’re you liking this roller coaster weather?
Egypt’s interior ministry says it will no longer allow visits to Mohammed Morsi, who has been detained since being deposed as president in July.
Ministry spokesman Col Gamal Mokhtar said Mr Morsi had delivered messages “inciting violence” to a team of lawyers after a meeting in November.
On Thursday, one of Mr Morsi’s sons revealed his most recent request to visit his father had been turned down.
Osama Morsi also said he had been moved from Alexandria’s Burj al-Arab prison.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-25269307
I know that look. That look is a friend of mine.
… especially first thing in the morning! 👿
That’s TOD’s reaction to almost everything Mark Knoller tweets…
Bwahahahaha! 😀
You know what, someone should just reply to everything he tweets with that picture! 😀
Good idea. PBO probably won’t play golf today, so Mark Knoller will sleep in and not tweet until perhaps tomorrow when PBO plays golf in the morning or gets ready to go the Kennedy Honors in the evening.
Works for Chuck Todd too: “Shut-Up Chuck”
Yes, works for pretty much the entire MSM spectrum.
😀
There’s word out there that Hassan Rouhani will attend Madiba’s funeral. If so, that should be quite interesting!
Hmmm….very interesting indeed meta.
Indeed
What a way for President Obama and Iranian President Rouhani to meet, Mandela’s funeral though a celebration of his life, can be the impetus for greater peace down the road once trust is restored. Obama, Rouhani, Mandela- gone are the names Smith, Johnson, and Williams-LOL
Smith, Johnson and Williams – isn’t that the entire Dallas Cowboys front-line? 😉
That would be! Wow!
For that moment, South Africa would be the most securitized country on earth!
Truly
Morning Chips, TODers, Congrats amk. Happy Saturday!!
Mooooooooorning Africa!

chips, hint, hint for Danny?
Hey, neat!
I like the elevated garden idea!
Yea, I like the parrot. You’d have to be artistic to do that. A chandelier? Really, or am I seeing things?
I’ve tried, but I just could never get into the bagel thing.
I love the plain ones – nothing like a plain bagel fresh out of the oven.
If I’m not mistaken Mandela called Castro a “Comrade in Arms.” I hope somebody told Cruz’s batshit crazy father that his son is praising Mandela.
No. That IS a good thing. We want him destroyed.

How much do you charge Don? Can we get a little sample? 🙂
Given this, I think it would be far easier to just repeal the 19th amendment …
Just saying …

LOL! That’s the I-WILL-CUT-YOU look. I know that one well too! 😀
Oh Lordy, that could SO be my granddaughter!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 Love it!
What a cute little button! And don’t mess with her either. 🙂
Apologies for the language — should’ve looked for a clean version. 🙄
Fixed it
Think it’s interesting that PBO invited the Bushes to accompany him and Michelle to Mandela’s funeral, and not the Clintons. Maybe PBO did not want to listen to Bill pontificate during the long flight. It must be true, as reported, that PBO can only take BC in small doses, and that flight would be a long dose. And PBO tends to reward and encourage good behavior, appreciative that W has kept his trap shut. And maybe he’s providing cover for W, as Mandela was not a fan, said he was unable to think clearly re. Iraq War, an opinion shared with the world. Whatever, PBO has more grace and largess in his heart than most mortals and may be putting into practice forgiveness, as Mandela taught.
Have the billarys freaked out yet? But then, who cares?
I have a feeling PBO invited all former presidents. That’s who he is. GWB would be the one to accept, desperate to be legitimized. WJC would not be able to be second to PBO…..even riding on Air Force One. I’ve “heard” he’s going on his own, but haven’t heard if Hill is going. As a former SOS, I’m thinking she might want to go.

Meanwhile, GWB gladly accepted because he needs an image boost AND he probably feels obligated seeing that he didn’t attend PBO’s 2nd inauguration.
This is how I see it too, Carolyn, given my perception of PBO’s leadership character.
Plus, if Clinton accepted, he and GWB and the others could ‘entertain’ each other.
dotster, I was thinking that exact same thing. There was no way that President Obama could sit and listen to Clinton pontificate on that long flight to South Africa. Though President Obama has shown that he has the patience of Job, but Clinton can at times try any man’s soul.
How do we know that he didn’t invite the Clintons? He probably invited all past living presidents and their spouses. I can’t imagine that he would invite GWB and no one else (including Carter). That would make him seem petty and superficial – especially considering the event they’re going to be attending.
OH my—-not accusing PBO of being petty—-nothing could be further from the truth. Just noting an interesting—to me— news tidbit.
No dotster…not saying that YOU are accusing him of being petty.
I’m suggesting that the media is not reporting accurately and it’s very likely that PBO did invite them all but Clinton may have declined for his own reasons. My assessment that his not inviting them would seem petty is not a criticism of you or what you said, but just a general explanation of why I feel that the media reports so far are not accurate.

allright i gotta go outside. my brother’s birthday breakfast. BBL
Birng me a cake.
:). The singer sounds like that sloth guy from shrek whasshisname.
Huh? There’s no sloth in Shrek? At least not in the ones that I saw.
Ohhhh… you must be thinking of John Leguizamo as Sid the Sloth in Ice Age. 🙂
That’s definitely not him on the ice cream & cake song.
yup, that’s him. The bestest character in that series
🙂
I love Elizabeth Warren. But some on the left crediting her with everything Democratic is wacky.
Don’t take it personal, it’s just a coping mechanism. They feel more comfortable with someone that looks like them trying to take them to the promise land.
I never take it personally. I just want to remind people. 🙂 🙂

I had not seen this before – many of you probably have – if not – it’s awesome
I believe there’s a dedicated TOD thread (See yesterday’s posts) with this very tribute as the main post. 🙂
Ahh – I was up until 3am (my world) yesterday – but not late enough to catch it – so I hope everyone else saw it – just amazing.
But it’s worth posting many times, because it really is AMAZING – so thanks for posting! 🙂
So like, um, any day now for the R&S thread…
Hey you! you do know that insider trading is illegal don’t you?
Danny Boy ‘shredded’ the 1st draft and Chips is busy trying to reconstruct?
Exactly! 😆 Done in two minutes, 14 seconds.
Danny B is soooo fortunate that he cannot be thusly maligned in the …… ‘Age of Tech’! Accused of destroying paperlike toys, but never of shredding a post.
The fix is in!
I haven’t seen Jovie for a while now?
Me either….hope he’s ok
So no R&S today? Lazy saturday ?
Danny must be destroying something else—-maybe chips’ computer?
tick….tick….tick…..
