Thank you, CC!
Please, not totally and completely though – I wouldn’t want to be on a perpetual high! 😉 😉 Wouldn’t have anything to moan about……. get it?
And may you and Danny O, Mama Chips senior and the rest of the family have a rollicking great 2014, with health and happiness, and most of what your hearts desire (except rubber chickens, DanO)! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Or, is this the warning that 2014 will be the year that TODvillage goes multilingual? Are we going to have daily language lessons? Hmmmmm. Which language shall I sign up for first? Is there going to be a plan? Ooooo, I love (the idea of) languages so I can’t wait! 😛 😛
Okay, Maryl, so there’s a conspiracy on to confuse me! Are you all trying to unearth my republican roots, as in ‘Speech English y’all, this is Amerca!’?
Happy New Year Chips, amk, VC, Vick C, and all other TOD Family. Looking for a very eventful 2014 in the political world this year. Good think I don’t have cable anymore, just my computer. 🙂
Good Morning on this first day of 2014 Chipsticks, VC, AMK, Roberta… TOD Early Birds!!!!
I guess is safe to assume that everyone’s calendar has crossed into 2014, so I reiterate my wishes to each of you for a new year of love, peace, hope, health, and happiness.
HAPPY NEW YEAR Chipsticks and TOD family. Chipsticks, thank you sooooooooooo very much for this site. It calms my nerves from the crazy haters in the media. Keep doing it in 2014, you are awesome. Please give us a picture of Danny boy celebrating the New Year.
{{{{Symmetry}}}} It’s going to be, right? A part of me cannot wait to see how 2014 unfolds, and another part is wary of the personal aging bit. Wish I could separate the two. 😉
Happy, Healthy, (laundry-folding-free?) and Prosperous 2014, Symmetry! 😀
So the presidents pick it the Supreme Court Sotamyor orders that the contraception mandate STOP, they have until Friday to comply.
Talk about a stick in the eye, so that’s done now it’s over with!
No more contraceptions for the Catholics. I guess??
Happy New Year, Jovie! [It’s nice to see you are still Jovie. 😀 ] Give it time. Time to see where she intends to go with this. One of her strengths is that she is supposed to be a ‘reasonable Latina’; that’s why she is where she is. IMO
Methinks she is also smart enough (and enough into the 21st century) to not let her personal &/ religious beliefs strangle her judicial decisions – decisions that will affect millions who may not share those beliefs.
Happy New Year everyone now that all time zones seem to have come on board. It’s been a heckuva ride and we’ve got a roller coaster ahead of us. Hang on tight and keep the faith–it’s going to be a good year. Thanks to Chips for creating this center of love, to UT for helping to sustain it and for all the other contributors for giving them both a break from time to time. We are one very lucky group.
Right, hf.
Noon at City hall. I hope millions of people watch Harry Belafonte, The Clintons, Andrew Cuomo and many others join in the fun.
New Day dawned in NYC.
Right wing in deep mourning now that their hero Bloomberg has let go of the steering wheel.
This is a great day for New York, Vicki. I wish I still lived in the state and could take a train into town to see this. You have no idea how much I long for my home state. I have been wandering in the wilderness for over 40 years and it’s unlikely I’ll be moving back any time soon since it’s farther away from our grandchild. Enjoy today for all of us and bask in your achievement.
So grateful to Chips, the mini-blog tyrants and all who have kept me informed, inspired, and amused all in support of our dear PBO, his family and administration, and each other.
I was off-line for most of the evening yesterday, but when I opened my email links to the site, Oh, my, my my, the fine-ness that is PBO in those jeans (Michelle must have bought those for him). He is so cool and slim and_________!! Off to drool!
Happy New Year from St Kiitts and Nevis, may your New Year be filled with love, health, happiness and blessings. A most joyous, prosperous, healthy and politically full filling New Year to President Obama and all Dems
A Dem Congress is in the cards if we all work extra hard to make it happen…Happy New Year one and all in spite of all aches, pain and losses. Have a great day I am off to visit friends and then to work..
Is the MSM WHPool being spiteful by limiting the Hawaii Holiday Pics…(Of course they do need privacy but this seems unusual) Chips we need our own photo guys/gals
Happy new year Anjo!!! I don’t think are ever too many photos from the Obamas’ Hawaii holidays because they’re private, but hopefully we’ll get a few more before they return to DC.
I’m glad there are not that many pictures, because this is a vacation and the First Family need some privacy sometimes. It can’t be easy with the camera in your face 24/7. I hope they are enjoying their time together with each other, with family and friends.
With you on this, ab, the entire family is long overdue for this break and relief from the public eye. The attention has been relentless, and the family have all been unfailingly gracious and graceful in the face of unprecedented publicity! So, we miss seeing them for a few days, big deal. We can appreciate why! Love you, anniebella! 🙂
I’m ever SO thankful for Chips, UT, the BTs and all of TODville. Love you, guys. Thank you for the tremendous effort and thought everyone puts into this place every single day. This is a fantastic intersection of ideas, humor, song and wisdom and all your voices make us strong.
Special thanks to the TOD twitter brigade, a FORCE to be reckoned with. To those who are not on twitter, please consider joining us to make a difference in this election year. POTUS, Nancy Smash and Senator Reid need us and our country desperately needs sensible gun control, immigration reform and a strong response to climate change.
TOD, may this year be full of good health, good cheer and ACTIVISM!
Here we come, 2014.
Are you ready to help us fight, fight, fight for a majority in Congress?
Every day counts!
Who is the 12% who approval of Congress doing nothing? I mean how can you approve of someone doing nothing. I guess these extreme radical conservative Republicans can.
Utaustinliberal, this is such good news. Why is the media peddling 2 million? They haven’t talked about anything past 2 million. It makes me so mad that they will not get the news out correctly. I only hear them saying; President Obama will not get to 7 million. grrrrrr grrrrrr
Thank you a4alice, I am a TOD follower and you guys rock. You always answer the lies with truth. This site is wonderful and it’s the right place to be in 2014. I want to get involve in midterm election. We have to get Crazy Scott out of Florida!
Yes anniebella, they are haters of President Obama and they don’t even “try” to hide it anymore. This site is a blessing for speaking truth and informing the masses. I follow you guys daily and it truly calm my nerves.
The hold on the contraception mandate is temporary and it was done right before the jan. 1st deadline. I think that some people should calm down and wait for all the facts because time and again people start hyperventilating for no good reason.
We are under siege here in Ill-i-noise. It keeps snowing and snowing and snowing and snowing. Latest round started yesterday afternoon and has not stopped. It’s a sea of white out there, no creature is moving, not even a mouse. Roads are not visible. Good thing most people do not have to venture out today. They can remain cozy inside and enjoy shaved ice photos and the fact that in this new year, 2014, Barack Obama, is still the President of the United States, a most peaceful truth.
Me?
Wooooooooot!!!!! 😎
Happy 2014, Chips Chica! Obviously you haven’t made any NY resolutions! /smh/
.
Oh well, being your
craftyself is a really good resolution. 😀😆 Happy Neeeeeeeeew Year VC, may it be completely and totally blissful!!!
Thank you, CC!
Please, not totally and completely though – I wouldn’t want to be on a perpetual high! 😉 😉 Wouldn’t have anything to moan about……. get it?
Ha, ok – have a 95% perfect 2014!!
{{CC}} Mille fois merci, chouchou!
And may you and Danny O, Mama Chips senior and the rest of the family have a rollicking great 2014, with health and happiness, and most of what your hearts desire (except rubber chickens, DanO)! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
நன்றி. புத்தாண்டு வாழ்த்துக்கள். vc.
Same to you, bud! 😀 😀
That looks so pretty! Wish I could write like that. 😉
yeah, me too.
So, who wrote it for you, the google?
Is anything about me original? …. Thereyago.
O, Amk, we don’t say it often, but we recognize you are an original! That’s why we keep you.
NYR
Reduce my f’ing footprint in the innernetz
Also. Too. Don’t frigging try to fool around with daughter unit’s laptop OS change. Evah.
Oooops, have you had a bad computery start to 2014? PS Happy New Year to you too, Mr Grumpy.
Bhliain nua sásta, to you too.
🙂 Go Raibh Mile Maith Agat!!!!
Just a simple TY will do. Sheesh.
I suppose it’s a good sign you two are getting all the … whatever …. out of your systems early! 😀
Or, is this the warning that 2014 will be the year that TODvillage goes multilingual? Are we going to have daily language lessons? Hmmmmm. Which language shall I sign up for first? Is there going to be a plan? Ooooo, I love (the idea of) languages so I can’t wait! 😛 😛
それは非常に良いアイデアです!
Will you make a chart/plan, and stick to ONE language at a time!!! Sheesh!
Blwyddyn Newydd Dda! i chwi, vc
Okay, Maryl, so there’s a conspiracy on to confuse me! Are you all trying to unearth my republican roots, as in ‘Speech English y’all, this is Amerca!’?
In case that was ‘A Blessed New Day! I cheer with you, vc.’
I’ll say I wish you the same, Maryl! As well as wishing you a terrific 2014 too! 😛
Pretty close, vc, pretty close. Just a simple” Happy New Year to you” , some of the few words I know in the language of my fathers, Welsh.
Happy New Year Chips, amk, VC, Vick C, and all other TOD Family. Looking for a very eventful 2014 in the political world this year. Good think I don’t have cable anymore, just my computer. 🙂
A very, very Happy New Year to you, Roberta!
Dange Roberta. Wish you a happy and healthy new year too.
Good Morning on this first day of 2014 Chipsticks, VC, AMK, Roberta… TOD Early Birds!!!!
I guess is safe to assume that everyone’s calendar has crossed into 2014, so I reiterate my wishes to each of you for a new year of love, peace, hope, health, and happiness.
And the very same to you swbluega, happy new year!
Greetings TODobots, wherever you are!!!
Happy New Year everyone!
Chips, repeat after me: My New Year’s resolution is I will stop cheating on posts. I will not steal first. I will stop cheating.
I will stop ….. no, no, can’t do it: FIRST!!!!
Happy Neeeeeeeew Year UT!!!!
Utal, congratulations on all you accomplished in the past year! We here shared so much in that, and it made our (TOD) lives so much richer.
** May 2014 bring you joy and laughter, and nothing you cannot overcome!**
Thanks so much, VC. Wishing you and yours the same.
{{Utal}} TY
I know I’m late on this but wanted to mention that my Most Memorable Moments were the Shaved Ice Photos. 🙂
Happy New Year to all!
😆 Your most memorable moments were from December 31? Happy New Year Dotster!!!!
Happy New Year to the TOD family. My wish for you … laughter, friendship, love and great health.
Happy New Year Nospin – and everybody!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR Chipsticks and TOD family. Chipsticks, thank you sooooooooooo very much for this site. It calms my nerves from the crazy haters in the media. Keep doing it in 2014, you are awesome. Please give us a picture of Danny boy celebrating the New Year.
It’s a new day.
Happy New Year!!

Talk about a stick in the eye, so that’s done now it’s over with!
No more contraceptions for the Catholics. I guess??
As I understand it, Jovie, the government has until Friday to “reply,” not comply. I don’t believe this will stand. Have a great new year.
It’s the Supreme Court? Right ?
Yes Happy new year- also glad 2013 in rear view mirror. 🙂
Happy New Year………
They have until Friday to ” reply ” , not comply…….
Reply to what though? It’s the Supreme Court ! Reply to God?
Jovie, it’s preliminary. As I said, I don’t believe it will stand.
Happy New Year, Jovie! [It’s nice to see you are still Jovie. 😀 ] Give it time. Time to see where she intends to go with this. One of her strengths is that she is supposed to be a ‘reasonable Latina’; that’s why she is where she is. IMO
She pro life catholic, me thinks !
Methinks she is also smart enough (and enough into the 21st century) to not let her personal &/ religious beliefs strangle her judicial decisions – decisions that will affect millions who may not share those beliefs.

Happy New Chips and everybody. It great to start another year with TOD.
Happy New Year JER, have a healthy, happy, blissful 2014!
Grateful to JER, master of all LINKS. Please keep us hooked up in 2014!!
Happy 2014 to everyone in the TOD family.
I thought the ceremony was at noon today?!? 🙂
I guess the official swearing in is done earlier….
Right, hf.
Noon at City hall. I hope millions of people watch Harry Belafonte, The Clintons, Andrew Cuomo and many others join in the fun.
New Day dawned in NYC.
Right wing in deep mourning now that their hero Bloomberg has let go of the steering wheel.
This is a most positive New Years’ day!!!!
This is a great day for New York, Vicki. I wish I still lived in the state and could take a train into town to see this. You have no idea how much I long for my home state. I have been wandering in the wilderness for over 40 years and it’s unlikely I’ll be moving back any time soon since it’s farther away from our grandchild.

Good morning and Happy New Year TOD ohana!
So grateful to Chips, the mini-blog tyrants and all who have kept me informed, inspired, and amused all in support of our dear PBO, his family and administration, and each other.
I was off-line for most of the evening yesterday, but when I opened my email links to the site, Oh, my, my my, the fine-ness that is PBO in those jeans (Michelle must have bought those for him). He is so cool and slim and_________!! Off to drool!
I’m loving his new wardrobe!!

Chips, I am wondering if Danny was in Tiawan. The Rubber Duck burst and deflated on Tuesday, leaving locals shocked and disappointed.
😆 I’m going to ask him right now if he has an alibi JER, this sounds suspiciously like his work!!
Look for smudges of yellow around the mouth, the paws, etc. Dead giveaway!
Jer, I will not ask why there is a large rubber duck floating in Taiwan. It’s probably one of those things better left unknown.
I wish I had a link for you, this ducky had been sailing all over the southern oceans for quite some time!
HAPPY NEW YEAR from the Golden Gatet!!
I’m ever SO thankful for Chips, UT, the BTs and all of TODville. Love you, guys. Thank you for the tremendous effort and thought everyone puts into this place every single day. This is a fantastic intersection of ideas, humor, song and wisdom and all your voices make us strong.

Happy New Year to all from the Jersey shore. Thanks to Chips , UT and all the BT’s who keep us informed. Today the minimum wage goes up in NJ.
Happy New Year Chips and friends, and happy healthcare to all who were able to sign up for January coverage.
Happy New Years Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD Family. “Lifts *wine* (y)
G’morning Chips & TOD, and Happy 2014 to everyone!
Who is the 12% who approval of Congress doing nothing? I mean how can you approve of someone doing nothing. I guess these extreme radical conservative Republicans can.
..extreme radical Republicans and Chuck Todd…
Oh yes, Hf, but it will still be the president who had the bad year. Facts just interfere with Republican and media fantasy.
When was this poll completed? I love it!!!
Let’s keep the Obamacare good news coming.
But didn’t the media tell us that the *real* test was the website?
Happy New Year, Hope!!
They never stop moving the goal posts. They were so sure Obamacare was done for.
Happy New Year everyone!
woo hoo! out with 2013 and in with 2014! I’m glad that year is behind us for some reason. Happy New Year everyone in TOD Ville! 😀
Happy New Year Everyone!!! Happy Wednesday.
Utaustinliberal, this is such good news. Why is the media peddling 2 million? They haven’t talked about anything past 2 million. It makes me so mad that they will not get the news out correctly. I only hear them saying; President Obama will not get to 7 million. grrrrrr grrrrrr
Happy New Year, Alice. Love it. The news keeps getting better.
you know it baby! 😀 #2014
Does anyone have new figures? The media only talks about 2 million grrrrr grrrrr, and how President Obama will not get to 7 million.
I don’t maybe at the WH website?
Thank you a4alice, I am a TOD follower and you guys rock. You always answer the lies with truth. This site is wonderful and it’s the right place to be in 2014. I want to get involve in midterm election. We have to get Crazy Scott out of Florida!
Well it’s 2014 and it’s plain to see that we still got the same old sorry ass media.
Yes anniebella, they are haters of President Obama and they don’t even “try” to hide it anymore. This site is a blessing for speaking truth and informing the masses. I follow you guys daily and it truly calm my nerves.
And I am one of them! Thanking PBO and all who have brought this relief to us millions!
This is not about the ACA but – I’m liking this guy Pope Francis
