Nancie, see if you can get an “exclusive” interview with Chips on how she feels about her blog generating 13,000 Posts to-day. Do you think she’ll grant you an “exclusive”? It would be a coup!
Good afternoon, GGail! I guess they’re hinting we should start working off some of the Easter chocolate some of us may have been consuming in a rather profligate manner.
Plus the chewing, GGail. Can’t forget the chewing. And all those digestive muscles too! I am staring at an Easter basket filled with Lindt Easter eggs and a Lindt chocolate bunny from a daughter who knows me well. I am getting pretty creative with the exercise thing! (And thanks, I’m glad to be here. I’m on spring break so I can hang out a bit more).
As everybody has said in the past, FLOTUS seems to be getting younger and cuter. How is this even possible? Maybe knowing that there are fewer than 2 years in the fishbowl left.
Go, GGail! TKO on First here. Hey, maryl1. Thank you Chips for this hilarious and gorgeous photo of the Heavyweight Champions of the World of Integrity, Courage, Determination, Compassion, and Character. This is how they handle the slings and arrows of outrageous baloney and outraged blustering phonies. They have already won this fight many times over, and are just showing that they’ve got what it takes and they get the joke and they are here to do right by themselves and everyone of good faith and spirit. Daymaker, this photo. I love TOD.
Oh my goodness! ๐ Love it, vcprezofan2 ! 140 characters are insufficient to spell out the character of our First Couple. Thank you for lighting up the twitterverse with their radiance.
Er… (hand) wash them…rise with fabric softener…. put them in your cedar scented drawer. You can buy cedar balls, or potpourri, at the dollar store. /smh…..you gotta tell some people everything /
VC,
I got at least four of these that I forgot where I put them.
Now, I consider them hidden.
Lord, you brought back memories from my grandmother.
I attended a funeral last year in Georgia and the Funeral Home gave these out to the family.(in white)
I thought that it was a nice touch. We all know what tissues will do when the combination of sweat and tears.
As a young girls my sisters and I got into a lot of trouble laughing at family members who had residue of tissue rolls on their faces.
Especially them men with their bristle beards. We just found that hilarious! Looking back then, we teenage girls found most things hilarious….
Today they would not even know what that beautiful flowery piece of material would be used for….so sad.
LDS, /with nose in the air/ *I* know exactly where mine are! ๐
I like that touch by the Georgia Funeral Home – though, as you suggest, the younger folks in that family probably wouldn’t know what it was for.
[pssst, Did they give both feminine and masculine ones? Don’t tell Otter but I have a masculine one too. ]
Love that picture of POTUS and FLOTUS, with the boxing gloves and dumb bell. So FLOTUS think she can dance. She can. They are the best. “F” the haters. Our President and First Lady are Great..
Chips, I know why this tickles you so much – because you would be one of those kids back there screaming and probably running from the bees – you don’t care what the President is saying about bees being harmless ๐
Chips, if the day you started out with your very first post someone had told you you would be producing at least 13,000 in the years ahead, you would probably have either fainted from shock or collapsed from exhaustion. What a super achievement and every one of those posts have brightened our day, enlightened our minds and bound us closer together as a family. That’s some kind of magic you have woven in these years. Congratulations thirteen thousand times over.
JG – no truer words have ever been spoken…”What a super achievement and every one of those posts have brightened our day, enlightened our minds and bound us closer together as a family. Thatโs some kind of magic you have woven in these years. Congratulations thirteen thousand times over.”
Oh, come here and let me give ya a hug!! It’s been a blissful trip Jackie, I can’t even imagine now a time when TOD wasn’t a HUGE part of my life, like our morning greetings when most of the rest of them – certainly VC – are still snoring in bed ๐ Thank you, you angel.
Hugs back, Chips. I love the Early Bird chats. In fact, they’re the prime reason for getting up and starting the day. Lord knows how long it would take me to get started if there weren’t TOD friends to greet in the morning.
amen! representing the lurkers here to say your work touches so many people’s lives, in the informative posts about the president, and also in the shared community of good-hearted people who make this a daily stop. mahalo nui loa~
While working out I watched “Live with Michael and Kelly.” They were broadcasting from the White House Egg Roll. They interviewed FLOTUS. She was just stunning. The hosts and guests were very honorific towards the First Lady and the President. Seemed like everyone was having a great time.
I just listened to Dr. Moniz briefing the press on the Iran Deal. Man, that made my day – a real physicist explaining nuclear energy, nuclear medical isotope and nuclear weapons technology, the differences and the “parameters”, i.e. the limiting numbers.
What got reported up to now about the negotiations sounded to me as the “fog of war”, but this at least made sense.
First I read about Serena Williams achieving 700 wins. Now, I hearing Ms. Chips has achieved 13,000 post. Wow, Wow and Wow! Congrats, Ms. Chips and thank you for this lovely place. (* (* (* โค โค โค

Positive Outcome for Azusa, California, Environmental Justice Community – Prospective Purchaser Agreement for Sale of Reichhold Inc. Chemical Manufacturing Facility – Courtesy of the Environment and Natural Resources Division
On March 26, 2015, the Department of Justice approved a Prospective Purchaser Agreement (PPA) with Reichhold, LLC for the purchase of a chemical manufacturing business on 8.8 acres in Azusa, California. The property is part of the San Gabriel Valley Area 2 Superfund Site, Baldwin Park, California, Operable Unit and is located in an environmental justice community, where approximately 79 percent of the population is Latino, 35 percent of the population lives below two times the federal poverty level and 25 percent of the population over the age of 25 has less than a high school education level.
hahaha…@ Pimp Walk…..we called that the jutterbug here in Philly….i rememeber when my brothers tried that walk…it was a swagger with an arm swing…my mom threatened to break their arm if they did not walk right…hahahaha
I can still remember a time when every church was a refuge – doors were never locked – and now there are idiots who can’t even enter a church without a gun – wish the bullet had hit him lower down than his hand!
Some de-bunking:
RW talking point that Iran hardliners oppose the deal the way the GOP does is false.
Today President Rouhani went to speak to The Mullahs and we do not yet know how that went. My guess is it went pretty well.
What we Do Know, is that Supreme Leader Khameni was aboard every step of the way.
We Do Know that higher-ups in the Iranian Republican Guard have called the Deal a victory for Iran.
GOP and the blood-soaked bully are out there all on their own. And the floe they are on is melting as we speak.
“As is so often the case with major diplomatic breakthroughs, this result was made possible thanks to the alignment of two moderate presidents, in this case Barack Obama and Hassan Rouhani, who have proved willing to put political capital on the line to strike a blow for global peace and prosperity.
Credit must also go to the two chief negotiators, John Kerry for the US and Javad Zarif for Iran, as well as the supporting cast from the P5+1 (United States, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany), for having the wherewithal to work through the finer details in the face of trenchant opposition.”
Last week, the 117 yrs old from Japan left us…..leaving the AR 116 yrs old soon to be 117 yrs as the oldest in the world.
There were 5 of these lovely oldest people and now, sadly, Only 3 are left.
RIP.
Thank you for gracing 3 Centuries.
Add Domino’s to the list of companies coming under pressure to raise pay.
“We’ve gotta pay more to get people right now,” Domino’s CEO Patrick Doyle said in an appearance on CNBC on Monday morning. “The great news is the economy is moving, it is getting better, it’s getting harder to hire people.”
Doyle did not announce a broad raise for his company’s lowest-paid workers, but other big employers have recently, including McDonald’s and Walmart.
“The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won’t sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms,” Obama said. “And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment. I want to return to this point: We want Iran not to have nuclear weapons precisely because we can’t bank on the nature of the regime changing. That’s exactly why we don’t want to have nuclear weapons. If suddenly Iran transformed itself to Germany or Sweden or France then there would be a different set of conversations about their nuclear infrastructure.”
I really hate how the media keeps framing this as President Obama is trying to “sell” “scrambling” on the deal…making it like he some nefarious used car salesman that just got you to buy a car with sawdust in the gas tank.
That’s one of their other BS talking points: President Obama has to “sell” this deal like it is a two day old fish.
Deal is pretty much done and the American people are good with it.
The disrespectful media and RW dopes will do what it is they always do.
Our best course of action is to laugh at them and/or ignore them.
A Louisiana lawmaker has introduced an anti-gay religious freedom bill that is broader than the controversial one Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) pushed in Indiana and then was forced to clarify after national criticism.
The Louisiana bill, introduced by state Rep. Mike Johnson, lets businesses refuse to serve same sex couples, just like the one in Indiana.
But the Louisiana proposal also goes a step further and allows a private company to not offer benefits to same-sex married couples if there are religious objections, according to the New Orleans Times Picayune. Notably, the legislation also blocks the Louisiana government from taking away state contracts and tax benefits from business owners because of the owners’ views on same-sex marriage.
So Schumer, Senator Reid and the Dem Caucus’ overwhelming choice to be their next leader, is bucking President Obama and signing on to Corker’s bill that calls for a Congressional vote on the deal.

CONGRATS, CC, & mille fois merci for your years of service, dedication, wisdom in choosing good helpers….+ your (work – ๐ ) multitasking!!!
Oooooooooh, thank you my beloved Canadian Goose!!! ๐
/muttering….. hard to decide if ‘Canadian Goose’ is any more complimentary than being called plain and simply ‘you goose’.. /
WOOOOOOOTTT!!!!
Hiya LP! I’ve been so busy on the 13,000 Posts, that I am just now seeing your greeting to me ๐
Hey GGail, since you got here so swiftly, tell us how you are answering Michelle’s call to #Gimme5?
Judith! I can’t give away my secret!!! ๐ ๐ ๐
Thanks Chips! just what I needed at lunchtime – some exercise – say WHAAAAT?!!!!
Best First Couple Ever! Good afternoon, one and all!
These two are amazing people. I just LOVE them.

hey girl ๐
greetings
Good afternoon, GGail! I guess they’re hinting we should start working off some of the Easter chocolate some of us may have been consuming in a rather profligate manner.
Afternoon, Maryl1, it’s good to see you ๐
I am eating a Reeses peanut butter cup as dessert with my lunch today. I walked to get it and consider that to be my exercise ๐
Carrot cake one day, Reeses pb cup next – hmmmm. Do you have dessert after both lunch and supper?
Okay – vc, I will not become your project while you have all this time on your hands ๐ ๐
๐ ๐ Drat, discovered right off the bat!
Yup. You can turn your flashlight onto somebody else….I ain’t the one! ๐ ๐
๐ฆ Busted! Ah, okay. /Sigh, now have to find something else to do/
Wait! ๐ I forgot that this is my ‘rest’ week, before I consider the plans I had prepared.
HA! Make a plan today to make a plan
Sorry, not in my ‘rest’ week. Plus I already made a monthly plan….. somewhere.
Hmmmmm
Plus the chewing, GGail. Can’t forget the chewing. And all those digestive muscles too! I am staring at an Easter basket filled with Lindt Easter eggs and a Lindt chocolate bunny from a daughter who knows me well. I am getting pretty creative with the exercise thing! (And thanks, I’m glad to be here. I’m on spring break so I can hang out a bit more).
See Maryl1 – I KNEW you would understand! ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
Oh, I understand all right! ๐
Yardarm, I’d be first in that line ๐ ๐
Hi, Maryl. How’s life? I never did ask you who you are educating/nurturing this year? ๐
As everybody has said in the past, FLOTUS seems to be getting younger and cuter. How is this even possible? Maybe knowing that there are fewer than 2 years in the fishbowl left.
Yes she is!
What a wonderful picture, it is obvious that POTUS and FLOTUS have run out of f’s to give.
hahahahaha! Yep, that’s right. They do not have time for nonsense. They are on time for leading, teaching, and loving this nation. We are so BLESSED!

Wish I could have included ‘hilarious and gorgeous’, Nancie; you hit the nail solidly on the head with ‘heavyweight champions’ IMO.

YVW. Thank *you*, Nancie, for so adroitly captioning this terrific pic. ๐ The Obamas have truly convinced me that real beauty shines from within.
vc, you mean you didn’t realize that when you met me? (crushed)
๐ ๐ The O’s brought the conviction.
I’m somewhat (sniff, sniff) mollified (sniff!)
Nobody uses handkerchiefs any more, so it took a while for me to locate these. You may want to put them in a ‘safe’ place.
HEY! these are mothball scented!!!! ๐ ๐
I want the cedar closet smelling ones or potpourri !
#neversatisfied
Er… (hand) wash them…rise with fabric softener…. put them in your cedar scented drawer. You can buy cedar balls, or potpourri, at the dollar store. /smh…..you gotta tell some people everything /
That’s Your job to have them *smell* ready when you give them out /hmmff!
I LOVE vintage handkerchiefs. I have a quilt pattern that folds them into an envelope shape. Gonna make that quilt someday…….
What kind of envelope shape – the envelope when you open it out? ๐
did my grandma give you those?
๐ ๐ See, Otter, it’s questions like these that prevented me from admitting that I have one …okay two…. of these in a drawer…somewhere.

No gotcha question, really tries to seek understanding, also beyond the deal; in one word “refreshing”.
From a write up in my world
“As is so often the case with major diplomatic breakthroughs, this result was made possible thanks to the alignment of two moderate presidents, in this case Barack Obama and Hassan Rouhani, who have proved willing to put political capital on the line to strike a blow for global peace and prosperity.

Preview of PBO’s interview with NPR:
“The notion that we would condition Iran not getting nuclear weapons in a verifiable deal on Iran recognizing Israel is really akin to saying that we won’t sign a deal unless the nature of the Iranian regime completely transforms,” Obama said. “And that is, I think, a fundamental misjudgment. I want to return to this point: We want Iran not to have nuclear weapons precisely because we can’t bank on the nature of the regime changing. That’s exactly why we don’t want to have nuclear weapons.

I really hate how the media keeps framing this as President Obama is trying to “sell” “scrambling” on the deal…making it like he some nefarious used car salesman that just got you to buy a car with sawdust in the gas tank.
Seriously. That’s because that’s their own MO, selling BS all day.
It is a pet peeve that gets to me as much as anchors/pundits (even from our own party) referring to him as Obama not President Obama.
I agree with you LP, especially that calling him Obama. Ooooh it truly irks me!
I expect it from GOP talking heads but actual *objective* news anchors!!! ….it bothers me too no end, Ggail.
It is deliberate and pre-meditated. Just as when they say “democrat party.”
Absolutely agree, VC! ……even more riled up after you reminded me of that ๐ฆ
