President Obama greeting student performers on stage during the White House Talent Show today
Look at those faces!
****
Hiya everyone, a gazillion x a gazillion thanks for the very wonderful response to Henry Healy’s request today for items for the Moneygall Visitor Center – but stupid me, I should have clarified: I’ll only send on Henry’s address to people I know from TOD. So, apologies to those who emailed me looking for his address, but if I don’t know you, I won’t pass it on – hope you understand.
Will return emails to everyone else tomorrow, promise!
Hey!
Wait for me, please.
😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯 😯
Okay, okay, I’m heading to bed – actually have to work for the rest of the week. 🙂 🙂
Speaking of bed, what are you doing up so late?
Busy comforting Danny, VC – he lost his favorite squeaky ball in the river this evening, and he’s inconsolable. Mind you, it was his own fault, he dropped it mid-swim when a passing duck caught his eye, and it floated away. And then, with his eyes, he ordered me to ‘fetch’, to which I replied: “Riiiiiiight.'”
I was wondering about DannyO this morning (you probably missed my query). Also, too WHY didn’t you fetch? Mothers are supposed to be all things to their children! Now you’ll just have to go buy a new favourite squeaky ball…..tomorrow.
VC, as I – with sizzling cheeks – explained to MightyP:
(1) The river is quite fast flowing
and
😳
(2) I can’t swim.
{{CC}} No sizzling cheeks needed for me. I’m cheered to hear our twin-ness continues unabated as I can’t swim either. In fact, our twinny-ness goes even deeper – I, like you, also made sure that my offspring CAN swim by taking him faithfully to his swimming lessons. 😉 😉
ps: If you’re ever in need in water your son will save you; at least, that’s what I told myself about the hours and years spent on the pool deck awaiting offspring.
Do you mean to say, you LET IT GO?? My, oh my… Oh my. Good luck explaining that one to him for the rest of his life.. 😉
I did, MightyP.
For two reasons:
(1) The river is quite fast flowing
and
😳
(2) I can’t swim.
I can’t swim, either. #TrueConfessions
Hahahaha!
Here’s the message I left for DannyO this morning. Would appreciate if you’d pass it on WITHOUT reading it of course.
“Oh, and hello there, DannyO! (Kant imagin WAT u’ve dun 2 b hiddn away frum veuw so long, but aye stil luv u watevah it wuz) ❤ "
ogm! ur spelin iz atroshus vc
Thare u r, DannyO! {{DannyO}}
Wat….my new inglish teecha izn’t as gud as yours? Yu got the best one I gues.
BTW Chips …. that photo totally knocks me to the floor!!!! What LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The video stirs my soul! So much love and tenderness and appreciation and pride. Goodness Overload!
Yes, indeed, meta!!!
Congrats on 1st oh ‘Quiet One’ …. rest well 🙂
Thanks, my regular ‘quiet’ supporter. You remind me to be the quietest I can be. 😉 😉
Oh sure 😀 😀 😀
😉 You do….ever so often when I forget. 😀
There was commercial break between the 3rd & 4th Quarter of the Heat vs. Pacers game…… “you snooze you lose” ……you slipped right by me. Congrats on first, VC 🙂
TY. Was that your feet I stepped on? Is that why you limped in so slowly? Sorry. You can make yourself comfortable now without fear as I’m leaving.
GN, VC. I have an ice pack perched on my foot where you slammed the door shut!
😳 Hush! I do feel sorry for you. You really ought to take better care of your body parts, LPlains. Sticking your foot in the door at the exact moment I was closing it was not one of your better choices.
***rubbing salt in the wound*** relish it….the mighty LP will rise again!
🙂 You can rise up now; I’m exiting stage left. Good night!
Ah sheesh, MORE excuses!
as they say…. “excuses are like a**holes, everyone has one” ….I’m getting no love tonight……Pacers blew the game & thus the series. I lower my head in shame…..
Well well.
I certainly hope so too!
May they be roommates for their combined life imprisonment sentence! And never see the light of day again. And you guys know me well enough to know I do not say something like this lightly. Sun is still shining, but I am beyond weary. I think call it a wrap! Big hugs all around. Maybe some of us can meet one day in Moneygall, at the BHO Plaza! 🙂
You are a kind soul, MP, and we all know that to be true. Your words carry that much more impact because of the person you are. Rest well!
Congrats on 1st VC!!

Word of caution……… President Obama got 119K to 117K Romney in May 2012 KY primary. D 215K votes total, R 185K votes total…. I would not correlate much from these primary vote totals.
That’s all true re: PBO in KY, LP.
However, the situation we are observing now is quite different.
Mitch essentially got clobbered by T-bagger Grimes. Those folk who voted for Grimes loath Mitch. When you couple that with the reality of so many Kentuckians now dependent on Obamacare, a Dem Gov just as committed to #Obamacare, and a strong candidate like Grimes running on a strong populist message, well, this is an entirely different, unprecedented, election scenario in KY.

Fantastic photo, I’m sure I would be the little gal in blue, blubbering with uncontained joy!! Chipsticks, you know MP, right?? Heh..
From bottom of previous thread, because his tweets are essential ….
Excellent, sailor 🙂
Teachable moment, eh? 😀
Major league, teachable 😀
Okay folks, I’m drinking heavy tonight. And by “drinking heavy”, I mean I’m on my third Crystal Light raspberry-green tea—which is fabulous. Gonna fire up the ole XBMC box and watch some UK sports. See everyone tomorrow.
🙂 See ya Mister!
Well, if you’re calling it a night, I’m sneaking in an “oldie”!
This is my absolute favorite from them. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, great. I’m not alone, then!
Not sure why some of these old songs pop in our heads every now and then, but they still take up space in mine.
Chips, please email Henry`s address to me.
Thanks luv!
Will do my beloved!!!!
Hugs n kisses
We can always count on Sarah, eh.
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
So very true. That nut has no idea how abbreviated her life would be if she were living in a “Bible Law” world.
I really don’t think she’s read it.
As in NEVER, sailor!
That should shut Mrs. Palin up.
I doubt it. Running her mouth is a payday.
on the god of the bible?
wtf does tundra twit even mean by that?
Only he knows.
Those children couldn’t get close enough to Pres. Obama.
And I love how he displays affection & love to FLOTUS whenever they are. These children need to see healthy love and affection.
Thank you POTUS & FLOTUS for being Great role models.
“Those children couldn’t get close enough to Pres. Obama.”
So very, very true Gail. Children just KNOW!!!!
They sure do Bob and I wish I was there with him…I mean them. 🙂
Okay, so this basically explains what I saw yesterday… the MSM seemed almost desperate in their Hillary praise from morning to night – all day yesterday…they saw the writing on the wall and it wasn’t pretty. The candidate in PA who both Bill and Hillary campaigned for, lost by ~30pts…a brutal and humiliating defeat…
But we’re all #readyforhillary….so the media tells us….
Nothing against the MIL, personally, but I’m glad she lost just to “stick it to” the Clintons.
And not even so much the Clintons, but the damn media who have been the Clintons them to put PBO down…this shows the media that the people are no longer influenced by cable TV chatter…folks have alternate ways of getting info…
And I agree with you JO’B that it kinda gives HRC a bit of a reality check….
Especially since “the media” was saying her campaigning for the MIL was her “coming out party.”
What counts is 2014, not whether or not she’s running. I’m sick of it.
mi bal iz gon reel sad butt u al tak polytix maiks mee reel angury
Who took your ball away, puppy?
DAN-NNNNNNNYYYYY! How are you, baby? Are you in need of a TREAT?!!
tnx muta butt no treet wud maik up 4 loosing my sqeeki bal reel sad
Oh, I know but Pooches, but trust me. There are PLENTY of squeeki bals out there. Trust me. PLENTY. We will find them.
Are you sure your human mom—–we call her chips, not sure what you call her——isn’t hiding your ball because she got tired of the squeaks? Go ask her—-be persistent. If it looks like she’s innocent, look at her with your big brown eyes, smile a real sweet Danny doggie smile, and ask her kindly if she would please replace your missing fave ball because it is making you so so sad to be without it——and promise that if she will you will never do one thing wrong ever again for the rest of your life—–be sure you have your toes crossed when you say this. Done!
tnx dots i cal hur totly eval aftar mi bal flowtid awey an she did nutin 2 saiv it. nutin. wil tri sad i’s an meyb ms eval will bi me nu bal. reel sad tho.
I know mine. 😆
Time to prepare some dinner so will leave all of you with this gem …
I think we all know that following each other in support of the mission of our President Obama is the most loving thing we can possibly do for humanity ….
Chuck Todd jumps ahead to declare the “VA story” a major problem for the WH….which is quite reassuring to me, actually. Chuck Todd is NEVER right when it comes to this WH…
Just so you know … I would rarely call out anybody’s physical appearance in “real” life. But Chuckie brings out the nasty beast in me.
Bingo!
Chips whenever you see this ………nugget *Irishman* Brendan Boyle is the one who took out Clintonland tonight.
He is now my new favorite candidate……. the “Rudy” of the 2014 cycle.
{{{LP}}}} Boyle was my late father’s mother’s name, so this is lovely – thank you!
May they rest in peace, Chips. I’m not to familiar w/ Irish geography, but his father was from Donegal, and changed his work hours as a janitor to canvass for his son….. per the Irish Times profile of him.
Ah, my Dad was from Donegal too LP – I’d love to think he was related to Brendan, but every second person – ish! – in Donegal is a Boyle. Lovely story LP, thank you again.
Wow! This young man is quite impressive! He is the kind of candidate this country needs right now!
WhatsApp
It’s awaaaaaaaaaaaake!
yus, et eees.
Hey Chips, I know I have over 100 magazines where PBO or FLOTUS were featured on the cover all preserved in plastic non acidic covers. 🙂 I would love to share some of my magazines with Henry.
It’s pics like the one above on the main that make the media go batshit crazy, and accusing Pete Souza of being PBO’s PR manager, and accusing the WH of forbidding pics from the press. So where are the non-PR pictures that they’ve been allowed to take? Why haven’t we seen them? Because the pictures we get from Pete ARE the real deal. There is nothing staged or hidden or “PR” as you’ve been trying to say. Got that media?
Okay.
Amen.
hills prez yet?
no thanks
LMAO! 🙂
Will return emails to everyone else tomorrow, promise!
ha, ha, ha.
From google
Dear chips
We are sorry to inform ya that your gmail a/c has died of loneliness.
Our condolences.
LOL.
Yardarm got me to thinking about this:
Love your tweet, and what an interesting reply!
THIS Meta!!!! As long as they sit there everyday with huge salaries and health care, they could care less about the struggles of average americans unless they are trying to blame PBO for something. I never hear the WH correspondents blaming the republicans in congress for anything.
EXACTLY. It’s CRAZY.
