Hi Everyone! Just wanted to pop my head in for a sec to say hello and thank you for being such a wonderful community of friends. I haven’t been able to keep up with the blog or twitter much. It’s been a whirlwind week. I’m about to get on the highway and drive up to Virginia for my aunt’s funeral. Spent most of the day running errands and getting the car serviced. Now 9-10 hrs of driving. Oddest birthday ever. I appreciate your support and miss you terribly. Hope to get back to hanging out with you soon. Love you!
Thought I’d leave you this. It was auntie’s favorite song. Happens to be one of my favorites too.
Dragging myself in after a hard day’s work, with no idea what’s been happening and no energy to go backwards to see. I’m just move forward from here and hope that if I’m missing any vital info some kind soul will fill me in.
Hi, y’all!
Evening to you Allison, and kudos on your fast entry!
Pat Robertson is at it once again?
I am still waiting for Pat R. to tell Us his prophecy as conveyed to him by “God” in 2012, the Winner of the presidential election.
WTG Col Davis.
Pat Robertson loses it after Air Force nixes ‘God’ oath: ‘How can they fly?’ http://t.co/SGzL02BxZm It's a gov't agency, not a religion.
Why should they cover Christie’s exoneration? When the ACA computer glitches were fixed with the ACA, MSNBC and other media ran away unless there was something negative about the ACA, including Scarborough.
That’s pretty amazing, but I guess not shocking with our current news media. Taking a rumor and reporting it as fact in a race to be first rather than accurate. Widely reported on all NBC outlets across the country as a done deal. Pitiful.
Something nice in my area. Afghanistan vet who lost a leg and suffered a brain injury from an IED was surprised today when he learned he and his family—-wife and 8 yr. old son—-are being given a new 3 bdrm. home, mortgage free. It will be built to accommodate his needs. This gift was thanks to a joint effort of a home builder and vet group, Finally Home.
Tell Us something New.
Year after year…..with different Firm……the result is the same…….Yet many Americans still think that the News Media Lean Left…….Liberal Media, my Fanny.
Data Shows GOP Lawmakers Appear More than Dems on Sunday Talk Shows http://t.co/SG04htqd4t
Was waiting for Brian Williams Big Apology for reporting Christie rumor as fact last night——but instead he basically repeated the same thing—-said the feds have not found evidence of Christie wrongdoing so far and the fed and state investigations continue. I guess the words “so far” and “continue” were his apology.
LMAO! They were just waiting for the opportunity to make Joan River’s death into an “event” about PBO….So when Melissa mentioned the note, they jumped at the chance…
I saw on the last thread a video of Melissa Rivers on television saying this.
Remember PBO’s lyrical statement when Robin Williams died, and the twittersphere was abuzz about taking bets on who actually penned that tribute?
I’m sure the Williams family received an eloquent handwritten note from our President, they chose to keep it sacred within their family and not run to the MSM, which Robin Williams had no patience with.
As LovePolitics2008 said, the MSM seethe with jealousy every day with the knowledge they will never be as good a writer as PBO.
Linda, I say save your money or let me save it for you. The way Joe treats Mika is IMO a clear indication of his level of respect and ‘love’ for women.
I am hoping rather less – the mother of my grandbabe never went through the t twos – we joke about the fact that she was so good I had no reason to leave home.
Mark Sanford was once…perhaps…still is? ……A great Friend of JoScar. JoScar said so at least 2X on MSNBC in 2009 when the Luv Gov left for Some Sugar down in Argentina.
My suspicion is that someone in the Christie’s Old and former US Attorney’s Office in NJ was the so called feeber. Once it made it on TV…..NBC wanting to Kiss and Make Up with Christie went with the story. Dr Maddow being the Main Critic on Christie did it right quoting that the story was from NBC Affiliate in NJ……Brian Williams didn’t for his Chumminess with JoScar and Christie.
NBC: Brian Williams got it wrong reporting Christie BridgeGate news http://t.co/NrsKShIjgt
“NBC acknowledged Friday that NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams was wrong when he said during Thursday’s broadcast that charges for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had been “ruled out” by federal investigators looking into the BridgeGate scandal.
“An unscripted line of our Nightly News report was imprecise and implied that a final decision had been reached,’’ NBC spokeswoman Erika Masonhall told the Asbury Park Press in a statement.”
It’s just about the only place he can get some privacy, and it’s conducive for long in-depth discussions on everything on PBO’s plate right now, which is a lot — but all the pieces are beginning to fall into place — visionary strategy takes many vital incremental steps to become reality.
Here’s the surest proof that the MSM are in the GOP/Koch Brothers’ pocket.
When was the last time someone here has heard a peep from the MSM about this?
Interesting—ESPN reporting that Ravens knew within hours of exactly what happened inside the elevator, got detailed description from hotel security. Coach Harbaugh said to want to release Rice immediately, nixed by Ravens owner and other execs as they set out to “misdirect and mislead”, hide the facts. Goodell had to have known since then also.
ESPN reports Ravens security head got a detailed summary of what happened inside elevator hours after Rice incident http://t.co/XMcQs9fBk2
On another note, the “King” fire that is heading for Lake Tahoe is burning in my favorite wildflower locale in the lower 48 (sorry, Montana, yours are gorgeous, but mid-July around Kirkwood Lodge (about 20 miles southwest of South Lake Tahoe) is unbelievable — it’s at about 10,000 feet elevation, so it does literally take your breath away.
Meadows aren’t harmed by forest fires, in fact my guess is that next July’s display will be even more amazing than usual, if winter brings the Sierra Nevada snowpack back. Sorry, BobFR and MightyPamela, hoping that the jet stream dips south this year to CA — which Japa21 and others will welcome — no Polar Vortex of arctic chill for the Midwest either.
I’m not scared yet because last two times I believe the Os were not on site, but I am concerned that the wackos got over the fence and are still standing.
The 16 yr. old who was shot and killed last night in Chgo’s popular Old Town area was a member of Illinois Sec. of St. Jesse White’s famous tumblers. 2 people rode up on bikes and shot the kid dead.
I’m pretty enraged about this security breach. The guy got over the fence and ran all the way across the lawn and got up to the door of the WH (portico)—–minutes after President Obama and daughters were departing there. This could have been tragic. That should never have been allowed to happen.

Good evening everyone!
Crossed the finish line while I was fixing my shoelaces……congrats Allison!
🙂 Helloooooooooooo LP and Allison!!!!
GE CHIPS!! Final verdict on the Cottage Pie?
It was spectacular LP, almost edible. I took a photo of it in front of TOD in case anyone accused me of copying a pic of a Rachel Ray creation
😎
Haha….this is like a proof of life pic for AMK’s runts 😀 Looks delicious BTW!!!
🙂 It hasn’t killed the eaters yet LP, so all’s good!!!
😯 *You* cooked something? What exactly did I miss?
This pie actually looks good. 🙂 Like a nice homemade casserole . I’m having a couple slices. Thanks!
Congrats to you as well, LP!!
Where is everybody?
My first TLP post in 6+ months: Hope sneakerheads, NBA fans and engineers enjoy 🙂

Ahem….. I wonder what makes you think I’m any more interested in ice skates than I am in pretty-pretty basketball shoes?
Always a Debbie downer……I forgot your are not sports inclined….what do you do for recreation….build igloos 😉
Please, not Debbie D, Vicki D maybe, and for recreation (how can you ask) I harass obsessive sports folk in the TOD village. 😀
Allison and LP are Au ⭐ Twins 😉 Yes!
Gotta see Dr Rice at the WH presser today making light of her height. Too Cute.

Stay safe, dudette. And my condolences to you and your family.

God speed Dudette, return to us safe and sound.
Take care Dudette. You have been missed. Condolences to you and your family.

But their Director…..JoScar per Mediaite……started off his Show like this……Today.
Who has the ” egg of face ” picture ?
Ha ! The American Media is a farce !
Why should they cover Christie’s exoneration? When the ACA computer glitches were fixed with the ACA, MSNBC and other media ran away unless there was something negative about the ACA, including Scarborough.

Again so much to laugh at – thank you all and RT’d

That’s why the shows are so popular….NOT!

I just finish listening to POTUS remarks.

Back at ya Dudette. Welcome back.
Safe drive Dudette, peace and blessings to you and your family, and we will be waiting for your safe return! 🙂
I am so very sorry for your loss (((((( Dudette)))))) , my deepest sympathy to you and your loved ones. Best wishes & take care of yourself.
Keeping you and your family in my thoughts, Dudette!
Domestic violence/gun violence—–results in death of mom trying to protect her baby.
Was waiting for Brian Williams Big Apology for reporting Christie rumor as fact last night——but instead he basically repeated the same thing—-said the feds have not found evidence of Christie wrongdoing so far and the fed and state investigations continue. I guess the words “so far” and “continue” were his apology.
Remember Chuck Todd is Christie’s BFF in the media. So I’m not expecting any apology anytime soon….
RWers NEVER apologize – they sometimes “Misspeak” then shrug off any criticism and walk away.
Well, Ezra Klein’s pipe dream of making fast millions off ACA’s failure now all up in smoke.
Wow….an Essay or a Thesis?
If WashPost will be this detailed when reporting about GOP and their destructive behavior in DC?
I was no fan of Joan Rivers. Blessed the President and First Lady for showing class. Because I would not have sent a letter or anything.
LMAO! They were just waiting for the opportunity to make Joan River’s death into an “event” about PBO….So when Melissa mentioned the note, they jumped at the chance…
I don’t plan to read the Washington Post piece.
I saw on the last thread a video of Melissa Rivers on television saying this.
Remember PBO’s lyrical statement when Robin Williams died, and the twittersphere was abuzz about taking bets on who actually penned that tribute?
I’m sure the Williams family received an eloquent handwritten note from our President, they chose to keep it sacred within their family and not run to the MSM, which Robin Williams had no patience with.
As LovePolitics2008 said, the MSM seethe with jealousy every day with the knowledge they will never be as good a writer as PBO.
Since Joe Scarborough *quietly* divorced his wife in January, he’s on the market looking for a new love. Any TOD takers?
🙂
I would bet money that he is a verbal abuser
Linda, I say save your money or let me save it for you. The way Joe treats Mika is IMO a clear indication of his level of respect and ‘love’ for women.
I recommend you Hopef (since you and Knoller are in limbo)- you can help straighten out Joe.
…………………………………….
You think you can get him as straight as this? Wow! 😉 😉
___________________________________________
/almost speechless/ Hf, I admire your determination to straighten out Joe. Good luck!
He’ll be straightened out alright, but certainly not by my dating or marrying him!
Thus the search for his new love continues… 🙂
Ah well, I guess I’ll just have to save that special outfit for another formal occasion.
…. Wait, maybe Chips will consider him; she does love the idea of marriage after all.
I think that cottage pie she baked was for their secret Friday night date…Shhh….
I missed the story behind that, but I did see the visual evidence. I have to say that our blog goddess’ cooking/baking skills have come a long way! 😀
🙂
😉 Evening, TS! What’s cooking with you and grandbabe?
Grandbabe has joined the ranks of the terrible twos – after a day out I am in minor shock.
And you have just embarked on the second year! Don’t worry though, you can handle it. 😀
I think the start of the third year (just turned 2) – she was too perfect those 2 years – got me hooked!
As I suggested, don’t worry – this year will pass quickly too and your little angel will return. ‘Terrible twos’ is only for one year, right?
I am hoping rather less – the mother of my grandbabe never went through the t twos – we joke about the fact that she was so good I had no reason to leave home.
Crossing fingers for you….and mother of grandbabe. 😉
There’s a lady from Argentina that’s just got dumped by her GOP lover…..must like walks along the appalachian trail. 🙂
She seems like Joe’s type.
Good match.
Mark Sanford was once…perhaps…still is? ……A great Friend of JoScar. JoScar said so at least 2X on MSNBC in 2009 when the Luv Gov left for Some Sugar down in Argentina.
This Story was First Reported by a NJ NBC TV.
My suspicion is that someone in the Christie’s Old and former US Attorney’s Office in NJ was the so called feeber. Once it made it on TV…..NBC wanting to Kiss and Make Up with Christie went with the story. Dr Maddow being the Main Critic on Christie did it right quoting that the story was from NBC Affiliate in NJ……Brian Williams didn’t for his Chumminess with JoScar and Christie.
I was about to post this Nena
Wow – talk about shilling for the GOP
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/brian-williams-nbc-bridgegate-christie-report
“NBC acknowledged Friday that NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams was wrong when he said during Thursday’s broadcast that charges for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie had been “ruled out” by federal investigators looking into the BridgeGate scandal.

Worth posting again, 99ts. I just posted their TPM Tweet Version. 😉
So glad to see PBO off to Camp David.
It’s just about the only place he can get some privacy, and it’s conducive for long in-depth discussions on everything on PBO’s plate right now, which is a lot — but all the pieces are beginning to fall into place — visionary strategy takes many vital incremental steps to become reality.
Here’s the surest proof that the MSM are in the GOP/Koch Brothers’ pocket.
When was the last time someone here has heard a peep from the MSM about this?
Or mention how much these layabouts and their aides cost taxpayers?
They stopped working on Sept 18th, 2014.
They shan’t be back until One week after the Nov Election.
The Laziest, Lamest, Weakest sorry arse Congress in our History.
Where is FLOTUS?
Maybe FLOTUS had some get away “me” time with just some of her friends. Just guessing.
Afternoon/evening Obots.
9-19-14 WH presser with Special Guest, Dr. Rice at the Podium.

Geez—-who are these nuts that jump the WH fence? Security issue right now.
Guns Drawn….but Never shot or Killed. To threaten a POTUS or the WH is a Federal Offense.
Very noticeable Nena – how differently these well trained SS guys act compared to city/council police.
Have they caught the person who jump over the WH fence? I hope so.
Look up thread…..Yes! There’s a photo too.
But PBO just left with the girls….
😳 😉 Duplication…….so sorry HF2.
Oh Jeff…..the guy knows how to Egg the WHPC
Does it seem like this kind of breech at the WH is happening more often…
Yes, or we are hearing about it more often. SS, better make sure they keep our First Family and others at WH safe!
Damn Skippy!…scares me
I’m not scared yet because last two times I believe the Os were not on site, but I am concerned that the wackos got over the fence and are still standing.
Yes it does pf58, and I don’t like it at all.
This is crazy.
I didn’t see FLOTUS with POTUS and the girls when they left for Camp David, so I’m hoping FLOTUS and her Mom, Mrs. Robinson are no where near the WH.
Count Von Knoller running to save his Life……better to easy off on the sweets?
why so many jokes re: this breach of security…I don’t get it
The 1st Family is Not in Danger. They are making light of the WHPC……Count Von Knoller and Jonathan Karl in particular.
It looks like him; the belly is a mile ahead of him. His big head is keeping him back.
The 16 yr. old who was shot and killed last night in Chgo’s popular Old Town area was a member of Illinois Sec. of St. Jesse White’s famous tumblers. 2 people rode up on bikes and shot the kid dead.
