I’ve had two cocktails, so allow me to get a tad mushy as I am wont to do.
I’d be a much less happy librarian without you fine folks. This is an oasis of sanity and positiveness in a world which seems to revel in despair and cynicism.
Whatever happens Tuesday, we’ll have this President’s back.
But, if the estimates of 90M+ voters holds, I think we’re in for a very pleasant surprise.
GOPers vote out of fear. And fear isn’t as great a motivator as hope and a desire to set things right.
The same GOPers vote election after election. They don’t add to their vote count. They win when WE don’t vote.
So the 90M estimate indicates that WE have decided enough is enough.
Stay frosty, everyone. It’s going to be a hell of a ride.
Will just repost my comment to you, LL, from the previous thread (typo corrected):
“Oh yes, LL, itās going to be very interesting ā¦. and devastating if you’re a #KOCHSTER ā¦.
Just poured a glass of wine, so thank you for the offer, and, more importantly ā¦ CHEERS (in celebration of the much better than expected news about your wifeās step father)!!!”
What a beautiful, happy post. So nice after a long day! To LL and Bob and everybody else … if we all keep the positive thoughts going as all y’all (no idea why I’m swinging over to that southern expression this week like there’s already been a blue wave down south) are doing, it’ll be a joyful Tuesday, for sure!
I know things. I’m feelin’ it. It’s electrifyin’. š
I’d be happy to offer up my new black convertible to drive that buzzard away from town and back to the foothills. In the trunk, bound and gagged, of course, not that I’m a violent person or anything.
Mitch McConnell is a congenital liar! Mitch gets away with his blatant lies about President Obama because the so called “mainstream media”are complicit in spreading his lies.
I couldn’t get enough Raymond Chandler during the summer between high school and college, so I found this fascinating.
Liked this comment on the article by willytheterrible:
“A very nice story. Even if none of it is true, it ought to be. Mr. Miller, you made a nice homage to the styles of Chandler and Hammett, although you ain’t there yet. Keep working on it!”
Ha! Me too, maybe! I must announce that 48 hours after the robotic noises from upstairs have ended, last night I slept the first solid sleep of more than 4 hours since I broke my knee in March 2013. Clocked 7 hours, yes, without even turning over, and no ear plugs! Now, THAT is news. Yes, that is real news, now that I think of it. No wonder I feel a bit tired most of the time, eh? š š š
One of the many stunning stories of 2009 was that one of the men who had beaten him showed up in his office to apologize – and they embraced. I’m sure you remember:
Former KKK Member and Black Rep. Lewis Embrace in Obama World
I saw her replies to you – loved them. Multiply her realization times every other mother’s who is wise enough to recognize the same, and ~ hopefully ~ the future will be brighter than the past. It’s all we can hope for …
This, exactly. As well as not wanting not to change the clocks backwards, I truly do not wish to see another rich white man (or rich white woman) in the Oval Office, ever again. (hmm, this is a rather chatty merlot!)
Quite so, Chipsticks! We create all sorts of problems for ourselves eh? However, after asking the poignant question about clocks, it came to me that perhaps it is just how will I explain to my geriatric kitty that we really do not need to eat at 4:00 in the morning ~ sure as the sun rises in the east, she will be asking!! Via Con Dios, as my brother always says!! š ā¤
Oddly, yet interestingly, for some reason I don’t quite fathom, I really do not want to turn back the clocks tonight. Wonder why that is? Any ideas? (um, is my grammar correct here, teachers and librarians?) (the merlot is questioning!) š

Almost as funny as …. “the sins of our forefathers bind us to the dirt” …. Well done NW š š š
That tweet cracked me up. š
Thanks, Sir Bob.
I’m still laughing, NW (the others are much fun, as well) š
These are great, NW! I needed a big ol’ laugh tonight! Thank you for providing it.
I also need a black convertible, but I don’t expect it to show up on a blog. (Will it?)
š
Really? I have one ready and waiting for you; it’s waiting for the tow truck to pick it up!
I thought of you, Barb! Are you holding a candlelight ceremony for it? (You poor baby. You’ll get another one! At least you’re safe!)
yes, at least I’m safe; btw, it died Oct 30th – 29th anniversary of my Mom’s death; strange, huh?
Awww. So sorry, Barb, and I didn’t know it’s been 29 years! This year, it’ll be 9 years already for my Mother. Hard to believe.
Love ya!
love you too
can ya see it?
Ahhh. Yes, it is seen. Clink!
dratz, it’s too big.
Awww….happy to help, Ms. J’OB.
Thank you, darlin’.

And how true @OtherDanOBrien’s tweet is.
Slide shows and auto play ads drive me bonkers.
FURST
Not even in the spelling bee, sugar. Not even. Although tied for furst could work in your favor.

Well well well. I meet VC and amk again on the pitch of honor.
She kicked me in the shin to get in.
You should be ashamed she had to!
The ‘quiet one’ would never be that aggressive …… š

A fine South Australian Merlot and a toast to all, clink! Stay strong, breathe, be focussed, we stand tall with our President. ā¤

Are you counting my day’s calorie intake again????????
Well, last time you accused me of counting your birthdays or somethin’, but now you’ve finally come up with the correct answer!
I’m just on a chocolate high after Halloween, myself. Yummy. What a holiday.
No more chocolate Jacqueline, not good for you. I’ll do all I can to help you forget it
Somebody help me slow that thing down. Why rush through it?
Hold on, Jackie. Help’s comin’. Chips said.
OMG! Stop that horrible thing! š
I love them all, but the popcorn one has reduced me to a snorting mess š
When our leader is “a snorting mess,” it’s pretty much a free-for-all for the rest of us!
Party!!!!!!!!!!!
Hee Hee Hee.
It always tickles me as to which jokes TODers pick as their favorite.
That tweet certainly was a laugh out loud moment. š
I could totally relate to it, the first time popcorn was popped in my home, when I was a lickle thing, I thought it was an earthquake.
Looooooove them all, Nerdy, thank you for the Saturday smiles!
For those on the west coast, nightowls on the east coast and everyone else, here’s an untold story that remains a mystery…
I couldn’t get enough Raymond Chandler during the summer between high school and college, so I found this fascinating.

In contrast to Samuel Marlowe’s world:
š I took a college English course that was nothing but Raymond Chandler…best instructor ever:) Great course…
We get an extra hour this weekend, take a look at the article (or bookmark it for after Nov 4).
Fascinating, but appears to be an unsolvable mystery.
I will! Love his writing style…got to be pretty good at that myself during that class. Sassy, clever writing
Interesting! Thanks for sharing this Arapaho!
Oh, sweet lentil soup on a chilly night.
The start of another poem?
By the way, written any, lately?
Are you likening Tom and Tom’s pee encounter to my trauma??
yeah right, blame me for self-inflicted wounds.
How is it self-inflicted when he sleeps on my lap despite having:
You LIE.
Don’t tempt me!1!1! He’s eaten every flippin’ bed I’ve bought him!
If Dan has to sleep in that, then this is yours:
Just flip it to the right. That’s egg.sack.lee.me.
š I’ll keep it on the left so, to ensure you don’t sleep a wink.
Ha! Me too, maybe! I must announce that 48 hours after the robotic noises from upstairs have ended, last night I slept the first solid sleep of more than 4 hours since I broke my knee in March 2013. Clocked 7 hours, yes, without even turning over, and no ear plugs! Now, THAT is news. Yes, that is real news, now that I think of it. No wonder I feel a bit tired most of the time, eh? š š š
I love that man! And I VOTED!
Yes….we are so lucky to have him here to testify!
Hope he lives a good, long life!
what makes his words so profound is that they are said in the First Person….

I understand…have not had any merlot tho
Do whatever you feel like doing, MightyPamela. Don’t let the clockmasters rule you. I’m sure the merlot would agree! š
Thanks, Nerdy…I can go to sleep now, having had a few laughs from your Tweets:) Night all…tomorrow we work some more!
