When the world is being torn asunder, it’s time to remember our common humanity. Another in my series of people being joyously human in musical flash mobs.

I answered you on a previous thread about your natural lack of female intuition but hadn’t yet figured out how to upload, Lpl. Let’s see if I’be really figured it out.
I held the door for you, but you wouldn’t get out of the car…….such a shame.
***looks like you have***
It did, LP!! Congrats on 1st.
Some of my favorite FMs, LL. Thank you!!!
Hi
O my lord, I think I just posted from my phone! 😯
Wooooooooooot!! But did you mean to VC??
😳 ah cc, just found my way back here do I guess you have your answer. It’s a touch screen so sometimes I’m moving merrily along and betting ready to brag when suddenly up pops another screen. Then i bave no idea where I am. It also self corrects – VERY FRUSTRATING!! And speaks different languages if I touch the wrong button!
If I don’t answer you it’s because I’m lost somewhere within the phone.
I haven’t seen Richard Wolfe in a while – either on Twitter or elsewhere.
Oh yes, he last retweeted on July 25. He’s probably on vacay now.
HP..He was just on the Last Word…giving PBO high praise for Russia’s sanction…
Oh my…just goes to show how little (if ever at all) I watch MSNBC… LOL! 🙂
You better off that way HP…but will keep an eye for you.. in case we need to put folks in their right place:-)
Aww thanks Kasai – so sweet of you. 🙂
Always my pleasure:-)
Now I REALLY feel like the only person in America that’s never seen the President in person 😦
One of two. I’m the “other guy.”
One of three! I’ve never seen the President I love and admire so much in person.
Wouldn’t it be great if we TODers who haven’t met him could all have a private meeting with him some day? I’ll “cover” a mug of beer for him! Hey, a woman can dream!
Me too!
I haven’t seen him in person df! I’m hoping to sometime before Jan 20, 2017. Don’t know how, don’t know where.
No, you are not alone, df.
Me either 😦
According to WestWingReport, people who hate PBO will fly from Puerto Rico to MO to see him give a 20-minute on America’s economy…Okay then.
You guys are killing WWR!!!
Put on your happy face village 🙂
What a cutie patootie – and a very luck one at that! 🙂
Course they would, they would fly to see the worst President in current history, they would fly to see the President who if the election were held today he would lose to the opponent he defeated in 2012, they would fly to see the weak leader.
ROTFLMAO! Anniebella you are too funny…but you’re exactly right! 🙂
All these polls are just a way of tearing down President Obama. Hopefully Democrats won’t fall for it.And come out to vote November.
We have to VOTE.
Well, Anniebella, John McCain and Mitt Romney must feel cheated! They now know that they would have been the presidential winners based on the 2014 media polls. I feel their pain! Why couldn’t the two presidential elections –in 2008 and 2012– be held in July 2014? Both John McCain and Mitt Romney would have been elected Presidents This would have spared the US of the agony of living under President Obama.There is absolutely no doubt that both John McCain and Mitt Romney would have by now solved all the domestic and international problems. Just as the great GOP Saint Ronald Reagan, the great, did.
LP,
Saw your post on the Yosemite wildfire on the previous thread.
LATimes had a headline that there are 200 fires burning in CA now, but it’s moved from the front page now, replaced by the lead story about our decaying infrastructure (i.e., water main pipe burst on Sunset by UCLA — very familiar with that area, since I went to UCLA and lost so much weight as a freshman — over 300 steps to get to my dorm from the low spot, Pauley Pavillion).
Very worrisome that there are so many fires in July — our fire season is typically Sept and Oct when the Santa Ana winds start. Santa Anas usually arrive after our rain — there’s something about how the air circulates that draws in the wind towards the ocean from the high desert (to the north of LA) after a rainstorm — so we can expect Santa Anas between Sept – Mar.
I worked near Zuma Beach (Malibu, near the Ventura county line) in 1978, and on the windiest day of the year — even good sized men had trouble standing upright in the wind — I saw a tiny wisp of smoke over the mountains around noon. By 3:30 we were evacuated and flames were coming down the hillside. Fire typically slows as it goes downhill, but the Santa Anas force the fire to the ocean. Over 300 homes were lost on Broad Beach then. The pattern repeats itself every 20 years or so — that’s why we really shouldn’t allow homes to be built between the Ventura Freeway (Highway 101) and the ocean in the Malibu area — they are pretty much impossible to save if they’re between the origin of the fire and the ocean.
Thanks for the context, Arapaho. I also saw the water main story……… Pauley Pavillion 😦
FIRST!!!!!!!!!
😎
Thank you LL!!!
De rien, madame!
Mercy bo coops, Monsieur.
My wedding decades ago (during the war in Vietnam) wasn’t exactly a flash mob, but as a finale, we did sing the following song to FInlandia by Sibelius:
SONG OF PEACE
This is my song, O God of all the nations,
A song of peace for lands afar and mine.
This is my home, the country where my heart is;
Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine.
But other hearts in other lands are beating
With hope and dreams as true and high as mine.
My country’s skies are bluer than the ocean,
And sunlight beams on cloverleaf and pine.
But other lands have sunlight, too, and clover,
And skies are ev’rywhere as blue as mine.
O hear my song, thou God of all the nations,
A song of peace for their land and for mine.
Beautiful, Judith.
Beautiful, and so that you saw/see the world as one, as do I. We (the U.S.) aren’t superior to anyone as the sun shines down on us all. Thank you.
Superb, Judith!! Thank you for sharing!!!
And it never ends. Decades ago, when my son was in his 20s and he and his new bride lived about five miles away from me, I’d still worry when I heard an ambulance go by that he’d been in a car accident or something! Once a parent, always a parent! (I keep telling my two granddaughters who are mommies, “Only 40 or so more years to go, raising your boys!” Ha. They think I’m kidding.)
Nite y’all! Many blessings. And a deep prayer for humanity to awaken from our stupor, and rise to our true purpose!
night all…
Gunnite df. Sleep tite! Don’t let WestWingReports bite!
kerry in India toda.
y… ay
Way cool flash mobs, thanks!
Hopefully I’ll have a break at 12noon to watch the speech. 🙂
Hurray! A useful tweet from The Count. I will arrange my day to catch PBO. 12:00 in NYC.
Yes, apparently, it’s at “ther Uptown Theater.” 🙂
😆 That ther made me howl!!
Me, too. Sounds like the goofball hasn’t been getting much sleep! 🙂
I would love to be a witness to one of these musical flash mobs… 😀
Thanks for this post, LL! So much needed!
Love it!
We definitely needed it.
🙂
BREAKING! I just made my nephew his very first gimlet. I have now fulfilled my avuncular duties.
So, I think we will see brighter days ahead.
Bob gave us a link to the NYTimes article speaking truth about israel’s actions in gaza.
The New Yorker Magazine and NY Magazine also have empathetic and critical pieces.
This is how Israel’s hold on America is loosened. If they can’t stifle all the MSM, let alone the internet, their days are numbered.
The Congress and all the politicians that depend on Israel friendly sources for campaign funding will eventually have to adjust to a new reality. I’m not saying today but sooner than I thought yesterday.
Americans don’t want to go to war in Libya, Syria, Ukraine or Gaza, no matter how much the Military Sales business wants us to fund their escapades.
Good night TOD. Peace and better days for all who are struggling and suffering tonight.
Truth.
“This is how Israel’s hold on America is loosened. If they can’t stifle all the MSM, let alone the internet, their days are numbered.”

Exciting
Stunning!
LIKE ! Good night, TOD.
She is beyond sublime, pf58. Thank you!!
Absolutely amazing!
What a superb gift! She moves like a gazelle in motion.
Perfect in every way. Precision, graceful and control.
She makes it looks so easy as she enjoys every movement.
As you can tell I enjoyed this so much!
Thank you.
UCLA campus right now!!!! ……75,000 gallons per minute coming out of busted water main:
UCLA > USC……..even under water.
LL, at least your boy has a sense of humor under the circumstances
That’s because we’re not the University of Spoiled Children! Holla!
They do have the Dr. Dre/Jimmy Iovine school school of making $$$$ ……I’ll give them that & only that.
SEIU…has been invaluable in the movement to unionize low wage workers….Cause the UNION makes us STRONG!
Sorry, deleted the comment. (By me, LL) Not appropriate for this venue.
Instead, a picture of a cute kitty.
Keith O is much happier on ESPN.
I think so too.
See everyone tomorrow!
G’night LL! Happy Snuggling!

Found this gem on the White House YouTube Channel… 😀
Well, I’ve got a date with a certain pillow! 🙂
Goodnight All!
Yes indeed we do First Lady. If you are tired of the Republicans B.S. then you better get out to vote.
If we are tired of the Republicans B.S. then we better VOTE. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the record … in case anyone was even slightly confused about my estimation of Hamas, Bibi’s Jewish coalition of hate, ISIS(ISIL), American fundamentalist, …. endless list of sects that have killed and ravaged, mightily, in the name of ‘their god’ ….
Despise them all.
good night TOD …
I have no standing to say this, Bob, other than as one human being to another, but don’t let any of the hate we witness each day eat you alive.
Dear Jacqueline, you have all the ‘standing’ with me that you will ever require. Deeply appreciate your compassionate comment. Thank you.

#FORWARD Together any day of the week! Enjoy your day, Bob.
I don’t believe those polls in Israel. I really think they were cooked up by Israel’s media to garner support for the murder of Palestinians. 94 percent sounds way too high, pretty much a joke. Way too high for it to be real.
“I don’t believe those polls in Israel.”
me either
Good morning TOD!
What the world needs now is LOVE.
Have a great Wed. even though it is a struggle, love lifted me this morning.
It is a blessing to be able to come here to positive, kind, intelligent minds.
….I wish I could share
All the love that’s in my heart
Remove all the bars
That keep us apart
I wish you could know
What it means to be me
Then you’d see and agree
That every man should be free….
WE Shall Over Come…
Pf, good to see you up early with such inspiration words and song. We need to sustain each other with love during these days of destruction and murder in Palestine. Thanks for the reminder.
yes…we do….((huggs))
Mooooooorning!
