With the World Cup over, Americans now turn their attention back to other things they don't quite understand. Like 4-way stops.

The Obama Diary 
evening all
Cheat.
Pot, meet kettle.
Birds of a feather 🙂
People who live in glass houses…
You calling me a stone-chucker?? 😯
Don’t say that 3 times real fast after having a few of them there whiskeys.
I’m not the pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s mate,
And I’m only plucking pheasants ’cause the pheasant plucker’s late.
I’m not the pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s son,
And I’m only plucking pheasants till the pheasant pluckers come.
See? Slober as a sludge. 😎
Really impressed!
And definitely don’t sing “The Name Game”
You’d be suing the kenyan muslin next.
It might be the only way I’ll ever get to meet him, so I’ll go for it 🙂
Japa…….evening sir!
Good evening LP. How are things?
Pretty good……..avoided most of the storms that rolled through Indianapolis this afternoon……have been trying to watch the MLB HR Derby, but the delays due to weather have forced me to start binge watching season 2 of ‘Treme’ ……how bout you?
Pretty good as well. Mrs. Japa and I went to a carillon concert at the Chicago Botanical Gardens this evening and then made the mistake of stopping at an ice cream parlor we had heard about. I need to do a lot of exercise. Biggest banana split I have ever had.
A banana split is always worth stopping for….. I haven’t been to a good parlor since moving up from Auburn…..Cold Stone is the closest to a real parlor around here 😦 Steak & Shake usually feeds the sugar itch if I’ve been out drinking!
Evening japa – ignore the comment from the peanut gallery
That would be standard operating procedure. And isn’t it morning in your part of the world?
early afternoon – but I can talk in the language of any time zone 🙂
Congrats japa!
What company is the biggest in your state?
Thank yoooooooou Nerdyaroo!
You’re welcome, Chiparoooooooo!
‘Vagina Warriors’ lol or ‘Egg Seekers’
Hey TOD family…….. isn’t @ReignOfApril a frequenter of this site? …..or people know her outside of TOD b/c Darrell Issa is after her.
Good gawd! It’s McCarthyism all over again – this is astonishing!
I don’t know her, wasn’t sure if it was the same person…. wanted to tweet her some support, but her account is protected.
And I wondered why April had protected her account, LP, looks like this utter madness might be the answer.
That sucks really bad….. I hope this witch hunt is soon over for her, and she can resume her daily life in piece.
I was thinking the same thing when I saw LPlains’ comment and read Issa’s letter. It is so ‘unfair’ that Issa with his background and his partisan meanness has power to be as vengeful as he chooses to be. She resigned. Other than plain vindictiveness what right has he to use his power to persecute her?
Such a total jerk.
Well said amk – in fact perfect
Love ya, AMK! Folks in CA-49 definitely need a serious wake-up call.
Wow. Darrell Issa really has sunk to a new low.
If you can’t get the Black President directly, waste tax payer money digging for foolish nonsense.
What a jerk.
Can someone fill me in – does ‘April’ work for the government?
NW, that Gary guy is pretty wicked – HA
Okay, NerdyW, serious business here! What is it going to cost to get you to wait for *me*? For some strange reason you are the most difficult to catch BT – are you discriminating against me? 😥
NW doesn’t have a discriminating bone in her body. You stop picking on her.
😀 I won’t touch your first statement; re not waiting for me, I love ‘picking on’ NerdyW who as you well know is perfectly capable of fighting her own battles.
leave the poor brazilians ALONE.
Why did they let this man & spawn crawl out from the dungeon they live in……and worst why are they getting paid for advice/put on TV?
Howdy-doo, Mr. Japa? And how are the young ‘uns in your little corner of the universe? Good work up top, standing in the former future other half’s way!
Well, r3ead your other before I read this one. I take everything I said up there back.
🙂 Why? Reading out of order is all part of the fun of village life! 😉
I swear one of the days I’m going to invest in a cape of invisibility, or something such! Your spying on me so closely is unnerving. Almost I am afraid to look over my shoulder in my own home.
That is not promising news….
Sorry I missed Susanne at #1 on the last thread.
Waving hello, enjoy your hula class!
Kamala Harris has been pro-active in convening meetings with prosecutors from the west (Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico) and Florida to discuss with their Latin American counterparts the crossborder crime that affects border states (and I guess Colorado for its legal weed?). Her last meeting with these groups was in March, and the next one will be next week.
hello! it was lovely, in a sweaty kind of way. 🙂
http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/14/world/africa/libya-benghazi-suspect-dead/index.html
– Faraj al-Shibli, who was suspected of involvement in the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, has been found dead, a Libyan source and locals in the town of Marj said.
Al-Shibli, whose name is also spelled Chalabi, was last seen being detained by local militia in Marj two days ago, a Libyan source said.
It is unclear what happened to al-Shibli since then, but his body was found on Monday in Marj, which is in eastern Libya.
Locals in Marj also confirmed that al-Shibli’s body was found Monday.
All the puppy manuals say ‘NEVER lose a tug-of-war with your dog’, ‘cos that will lead him to believe he’s the boss.
That’s fine, but what happens when your puppy is so strong he drags you from here to eternity, with your feet pointing heavenwards, as you try to wrestle his plastic burger from him? And you end up lodged face furst in the wall.
Just happened.
that will teach ya.
My puppy manual –>
book burner / smh
good. I think they say NO TUG OF WAR:)
rather huge manual – did you try using the manual itself as a deterrent? Curious
You have a boo boo face because of a plastic burger? You mean you didn’t let go BEFORE you crashed your face into the wall? Someone needs a little vacation….or a time out to think about things:) Danny DID win, is that what you’re saying??
But did you get the burger? (and ‘furst’…is Danny typing this?)
Chips Chica, after reading all the tug-of-war comments from dog owners below, I sure hope you were kidding about the extent of your tussle, and that you are in tip-top shape. {{{CC}}}
QUESTION:
Can playing tug-of-war with my dog make her aggressive?
answered by Ian Dunbar
ANSWER:
Many people think it’s risky to play tug-of-war with a dog. And it’s true that, if the game goes too far, it can result in a dangerously out of control canine. But when played intelligently, tug-of-war is actually a great way to practice keeping control over your dog when she’s excited.
To play tug-of-war safely, always follow these rules:
You should be the one to initiate a game, not your dog.
Always be in control. Only play if you can get your dog to release the tug toy and sit at any time. Do this at least once every 30 seconds. Also mix in short training breaks–ask for a sit, down, stand, down, another sit, then restart the game as a reward.
These rules should apply to anyone playing tug-of-war with your dog.
See the part where it says ALWAYS BE IN CONTROL?? That means you:)
“…play only if you can get your dog to release the tug toy and sit at any time…” Hahaha! When it comes to tug toys, even Chihuahuas have a death grip of 6,000 pounds per square inch. So maybe their thinking you should keep chloroform handy?
I think it really means (since most dogs aside from Lassie wouldn’t release the toy and sit) that you shouldn’t play Tug of War with your dog….I hope Chips is alright and Danny’s not being smug…..Stewie sighs and Danny LOL…..omg. Night all. My beautiful baby is staring at me…means bedtime. See everyone tomorrow.
G’Night, Desertf. Sleep tight – Hopef isn’t around to remind you of bites and all, so you should have an excellent repose. 😉

Yolanda Adams sings a song entitled “What About The Children?
As a parent this is very painful and saddens me to know the GOP are heartless even when it comes to children.
I have one word to describe them……EVIL!
( there are more but I do not want to start my day with a heart like theirs)
God bless those children and their parents.
Good morning, LDS and others. Good words, LDS. Blessed day to all. This is my serving in our food pantry day. (Manna House). Then I’m meeting friends for lunch. I’ll lurk as I can. 🙂
morning!
Mooooooorning!
