Oh lord, far from ivory tower. I’ve been reflecting on the amazingly stupid things I did as a young lad, usually involving booze and sex. Mentioned it to the missus. “Yep”, she said, “not sure how we made it.”
Of course there is a new thread. As soon as I started typing on the last one i said to myself a new thread would be coming up immediately.
Hi everyone.
I read your comment over *there*, Vivki, and like you, I think this is an action that is more protective of their *inevitable* candidate. Clearly they do not have a lot of confidence in her ability to sell herself.
D-ette, no matter how I try to keep my mouth shut on the subject, that woman’s campaign team (used broadly) bring out the worst in me. There is not a sliver of my personality that is at ease with her! Sigh.
Congrats on Furst LP. And hi to everyone else. Been trying to catch up on the reading. Just finished up on FB for Stonekettle Station, Jim is in rare form today. LOL.
Interview with M’OM livestreaming in a couple of hours (8:30pm EDT), and he will be asked about David Simon’s view of Baltimore (posted several times last week here at TOD):
I don’t see Danny bringing the ball back and putting it back in the machine…..maybe he will bring back to you Chips to reload the machine. 🙂 🙂 🙂 If you buy it, you must the video
The more I think about it JoJo, the more I reckon it’s not a good idea. He would figure out immediately that it was bought to give me a break from entertaining him, so there is nooooooo way he’d put the ball back in the machine. Any way, he’d just start barking at it and would probably chew it to shreds in five minutes.
“he’d just start barking at it and would probably chew it to shreds in five minutes”. I was thinking the same thing Chips but did not want to say it…..Danny boy has you well trained. 🙂 🙂 🙂
GOOD EVENING TOD FAMILY…HAPPY TO SEE THE ENRGIZER IS ENJOYING A ‘CINCO’ EVENING…THE MENU SOUNDS AMAZING. I’VE BEEN BUSY WITH PACKING SO I HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE LOOP…HAPPY TO SEE ALL ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME…BLESSINGS EVERYONE!
This is a wonderful book. Isabel Wilkerson came to town last year for a book reading and I have a signed copy! I know Shonda’s adaptation will be great.
Been amused by the gop candidates who are newly discovering income inequality as a talking point. However, the policies they are pushing would make this inequality worse

Margarita anyone?
GODS – YES PLEASE!!! Olé!!!

LET’S DO THIS!!! I know of a great patio!!!
I’m on my waaaaaaaaay!1!1!
Bag of limes hiked over my shoulder…….
😆 See you there, Meta!!
My next big investment:
http://www.amazon.com/Margaritaville-DM3000-Tahiti-Frozen-Concoction/dp/B001AY0YGU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1430861483&sr=8-5&keywords=jimmy+buffet+margarita+machine
OMG, that’s a better invention than even the wheel!1!1!1!
I agree!!
Three 24-ounce blending jars automatically creates of 72-ounce of frozen drink per cycle
Capability to create 6+ different drink types (margarita, daiquiri, colada, mudslide, mojito, smoothie)
Rotating ice chute creates spectacle appeal
Constructed from premium bamboo wood and brushed aluminum finishes, polished stainless steel accents and heavy duty die-cast components
When I first clicked your link there were “Only 119 left in stock”, now there are “only 19” – come on TODers, own up, which of you bought one?
🙂
The Jimmy Buffet/TOD crossover appeal is much stronger than initially anticipated 😀
What is *that*….and whose feet did you step on to make it to the top?
Looks like somebody awoke the *blind* sleeping giant 😎
Congrats LP on First – and I’m thirsty!!!
You bought one, didn’t ya?
Shhhh, I plan to hook it up in my car as a rolling machine to ward of droughts of thirst 😀
Are you trying to copy my van?
I have a newer model – can’t show it. Don’t want Smokey to harass me 😀
😆 Stop boasting! Actually, this is mine:
😦
That’s so quaint – and old as hell. Does it have moonshine in it?
Of course!1!1! 🙂
Boy do I have some stories about me, my older sister and our older cousins and moonshine 😀 😀 😀 😀
😯 I do NOT want to know.
(Yes I do – spill).
I believe we all are, GGail
😀
I have my Triscuit crackers and some cheese – I just need everything else and I’m good!
OMG…this will solve all your problems, VC! Purchasing this should be your top priority 😆 😆 😆
Ugh! Was that a snail? (eyes covered) Yuk. I absolutely hate them!
Aw, they’re lovely VC!
Slushie margaritas are of Satan. On the rocks, with/without salt, or we’ll have to have words, Mister.
Here we go….the “Ivory Tower” librarian has to chime in 😎 I wouldn’t mind the fine Cuban delicacy known as a mojito though 😀
Oh lord, far from ivory tower. I’ve been reflecting on the amazingly stupid things I did as a young lad, usually involving booze and sex. Mentioned it to the missus. “Yep”, she said, “not sure how we made it.”
But make it you did…..congrats on the engagement!
Yes please!!! May have to have more than one 🙂
Most def! They way we are, we’ll burn the motor on two or three in the first hour. Wait till amk wakes up 😀
YUP:)
Congrats LP!
Thanks, Dudette! Did you see this new series going into development?
Hey! No, I hadn’t heard about that! I’m excited to see it! If Shonda’s involved we know…. It’s gon’ be gooooood!
Good Afternoon All
Of course there is a new thread. As soon as I started typing on the last one i said to myself a new thread would be coming up immediately.

Thanks for your feedback, vc
x2. Good grief. Such a delicate flower.
😀
That’s exactly what I was thinking vc!
D-ette, no matter how I try to keep my mouth shut on the subject, that woman’s campaign team (used broadly) bring out the worst in me. There is not a sliver of my personality that is at ease with her! Sigh.
I understand fully.
As do I.
😀
Here I am an hour later! 🙂
Congrats on Furst LP. And hi to everyone else. Been trying to catch up on the reading. Just finished up on FB for Stonekettle Station, Jim is in rare form today. LOL.
STREAM IS UP HERE: Cinco De Mayo At the White House – http://www.msnbc.com/shift/watch/cinco-de-mayo-at-the-white-house-440232003912
Thank you BFF!!!
JER, I missed it! 😦
Today’s Cinco de Mayo! Which of course means that I’m cooking… A STIR FRY!
Chicken stir fried in black bean sauce, with bok choy, red peeper, and scallions
Soba noodles
And I’m having Manhattans! (Well, in about 2 hours I am.)
Oh my gaaaaaaaaawd, that sounds deeee-licious!
I haven’t made it in eons. And I’m feeling cookery tonight.
Yummmmmm!
GA TODville.
Assistant Secretary Jacobson got to celebrate Cinco de Mayo twice today!
Also, bringing over from the last thread…
Interview with M’OM livestreaming in a couple of hours (8:30pm EDT), and he will be asked about David Simon’s view of Baltimore (posted several times last week here at TOD):
Excellent, thank you arapaho415!
Here are the stats Billy Townsend is referring to
And a profile
OMG, I am sooooo getting one of these – I can have peace while himself is entertained 😎
“himself” Your Irish is showing, Chips. Love it!
Tis herself, Vicki!! 🙂
Not to mention the Greatest Dog Toy Ever. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s like “crack” to a dog. But first you have to teach him to drop the ball into the contraption
Hmm, yeah, the ball-dropping part might be a challenge…. back to square one.
I don’t see Danny bringing the ball back and putting it back in the machine…..maybe he will bring back to you Chips to reload the machine. 🙂 🙂 🙂 If you buy it, you must the video
The more I think about it JoJo, the more I reckon it’s not a good idea.

Any way, he’d just start barking at it and would probably chew it to shreds in five minutes.
Or drag the machine over to your feet and wait for you to drop the ball in it 😀
“he’d just start barking at it and would probably chew it to shreds in five minutes”. I was thinking the same thing Chips but did not want to say it…..Danny boy has you well trained. 🙂 🙂 🙂
🙂 You know him well, JoJo!
Love that! 😀

LP and Allison were the Au ⭐ Recipients 😉 Congrats!
Hello TOD.

To all those who are in a Festive State of Min 😉
Oh lord, a pie fight between @Shoq and @ronc99 over Hillary/PBO in my TL.
Damn! I missed PBO’s Cinco de Mayo event. WAAAAAH……
Me too meta 😦
Panic not!
Oh, you perfect saviour!!
I know, I know 😎
We know, we know!!
Diva Divine! YOU ROCK!!!
:-D. AS IF there’s a bashful bone in your entire body! 😀
My body is built from bashful bones!1!1!
Begging Your Highness’ pardon, but all evidence here and on Twitter to the contrary. Just sayin’! 😎
hAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA – who is that? It is NOT Chips! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!
‘Scuse me? Your point is???
/hiding/
I LOVE YOU Chips!!!! MWAH!
Mrs. Michelle Obama will deliver the Commencement address at Tuskegee U. on May 9th.
Excellent! Thank you bella!
By the way…
Alllllllright now!
Thanks annieb 🙂
… and the hits just keep on comin’!
Sheri and I were freaked out by this last week. I am so glad it is getting the attention it deserves!
I remember her story – this can’t happen again!
HRC announces she supports a path to citizenship for “illegal immigrants,” per Rev. Al. Well, that’s a first.
Salt, please.
I’ll take mine with a margarita please. 🙂
Ha. Why have salt without one?
Exactly! 😀
More low-hanging fruit.
Exactly. Yawning.
POTUS will deliver his first commencement address May 8th at Lake Area Technical Institute.
This should be good: story of Black American south -> north migration
Incredible book. If anyone can do iut
If anyone can do it justice, Shonda can
This is a wonderful book. Isabel Wilkerson came to town last year for a book reading and I have a signed copy! I know Shonda’s adaptation will be great.
Love to all of our TOD teachers – active and retired. Thank you soooo much!
Damn!
