FURST 😎
Morning/afternoon/evening Petal!
same to you, ha.
I suppose you’re a Stoke fan at the moment?
are they playing unohoo today? then, yes.
have you wondered what happens you live right on the time zone line? hop back and forth to gain/lose 30 minutes.
oh noez, it’s unohoo c !!!
Remember I was going on before about a work colleague getting a flight from Tonga to somewhere – he left tomorrow and arrived yesterday. Blew my mind, it did.
unpossible.
Well, it was something like that.
Go hammers !!!
Good Morning Ms. Chips!
Good Morning Everyone!
Morning Linda!
it’s pouring jenny’s and jtp’s here. sigh.
What?
Morning, Chips and AMK, and early risers. I’m off to do Christmasy stuff this morning- a huge cookie walk to pick up treats, an alternative gift event and then an open air Christlemarket in the park. The rage I was feeling this week at the endless shootings, Congressional corruption and downright idiocy of the American people was making me sick, so I’m going to see if there’s an holiday spirit to be had that doesn’t involve a mall. Have a glorious day.
{{{{Jackie}}}} I hope you can get your mind off all the misery today, but please please please: do NOT spend too much on my Christmas gift. Keep it under $1,000 if possible.
You made me smile:) Such a sense of humor you have….Morning to you, Chips….jackieg…have some fun and try to get in the proper spirit of the season….Morning everyone…Sounds like we all need to pitch in and buy amk a yacht for Christmas! Keep safe…you don’t NEED more rain!!!
would you, please? thanks.
#noah 😎
I figured you’d agree to that:) Wonder how much a nice yacht goes for nowadays? One with no holes in the hull…
when it comes to me, why would you count the pennies?
Now wondering of that fancy ass doggy den Chips posted below, floats:)
😆
Hold it, you can’t palm me off with that c..p. You promised a yacht, and I expect a yacht.
What?! I’m serious! I’m just afraid Jackie will get me something like this:
That’s a ‘Louis XV Pet Pavilion’ – cheap at $23,990.
I can get one for ya for 100 bucks, just send me the money.
You’d probably send me the Louis van Gaal Pet Pavilion – not worth 100 cents. 🙄
potaytoh, potahtoh, what’s the diff?
Good Morning, Everyone 🙂
Off to swim and run errands.
Looooooooooove this!!!!
Look at their little faces! Can’t put a price on that. 🙂 🙂
They are adorable!
G’morning Chips & TOD! Congrats Monsieur amk on #1! Happy Saturday everyone. 🙂
Moooooooorning Hopefruit!!!
‘sup?
My goodness….are you trying to ruin my holiday experiences with this nightmarish image!?!?!?!
On the first day of Christmas Mr. amk gave to me:
An ugly shaved guinea pig =baby hippo ‘sup on The Obama diary!!!
playing the kenyan’s game. lowering the expectations.
.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!! That’s hilarious!
Get him this one, DF
I will take it. $1 duct tape will plug all the holes.
From this day forth, you shall be known as FartButt.
Make it Lord FartButt and I will be ok with it.
Deal.
I am disappointed in ya. I thought you would come back with Lard FartButt. tsk, tsk, tsk.
😆 Me likes!
yer flippin’ slippin’.
I dropped Mahrez from my Fantasy Football team last night – and he’s scored twice for Leicester in the first 20 minutes. I hate life.
Go Foxes.
👿
NY Times this morning has a Front Page Editorial.
First time since 1920.
A BFD.
The title is “The Gun Epidemic” and it is powerful.
Please, if you have the skill to do so, bring this to TOD.
The Times goes a lot further than I would have predicted they would. Not only reinstating the assault weapons ban, but mentioning ridding our society of these military weapons. The RW will go crazy when they read this.
I just read the previous thread and see that the editorial has been posted!!!
Good.
Worth another posting, if someone can do that.

Thanks for posting the link, DF.
POSTED FOR THE RIGHT WIINGERS IN MY FB WHO THINK GUNS ARE BIGGER THAN GOD!..OH MY…GOD WILL CRUSH THEM!
I WILL PUT THIS ON MY FB…GOD DOES NOT LIKE GUN WORSHIP OR LOOKING TO MAN AS THE ABSOLUTE SOLUTION…ONLY HE IS THE ABSOLUTE SOLUTION…THESE GOP MIINIONS ARE IN FOR SOME HUGE RIDES!
Thank you desertflower and JER.
Happy Saturday TODers.
Heeeeeya Chips.
Heyaaaaaaaaaa Africaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Good Morning BFF and TOD.
Morning BFF!!!!
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Saturday morning. Congrats amk, on being FURST this morning.
To all, I hope your smile has a sparkling and scintillating glow today. ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆
Morning RanMan!!
GM TODville.
After a week of horrendous news (being familiar with an area and its people makes a gun massacre much more personal — so much loss by people who were relied upon by so many people), Chips’ tweet deserves a place in Twitter Hall Of Fame.
Capehart writes about painful display of GOP stereotyping at Jewish Coalition. But those same people cheered Trump’s Bitherism. OK, then.
When he takes his medication, Chris Matthews is spot on!
These people who support Donald Trump are racists just like Trump is. Can I say every supporter of Trump is a racists? No I can’t, but I can say that most of them are. They hate this President and it’s because he is black. The other day I was reading some comments about the First Lady showing the White House Christmas decoration, and most of those comments were about calling the First Lady names, saying disrespectful things, disgusting comments. No one mention a word about how nice the First Lady inviting military families there, or how nice the Christmas decoration look. All it was about was their hateful racists comments. These racists bigots have been let loose and it’s because of the tea party, the Republican party, right wing hate radio, Fox, and racists folks like Donald Trump, Ted Cruz,
Come 2017, Italy, here I come!
The wait is over, I’m here.
Lazy bones.
(waving greetings) FURST to everyone!
Feels good to be here early-ish this Saturday morning, with a wish that everyone is having, or will have, a peaceful and enjoyable day .
FTR I will be working M-Fri mornings daily up to the end of the year and into early January. Someone at one of my on-call work places had to take medical leave and I was ‘it’ to absorb a section of their work load (negotiated my way out of the full load). If, unfortunately, the medical issue is not resolved by early January I’d get tapped for longer. Here’s hoping all goes well for them! Meantime, I’m only going to be able to make it to the village to annoy some of you in the afternoon hours (if I don’t have to take work home). Amk, maybe you can rearrange your sleeping hours so that you can be on hand to be annoyed?
sure, why not, being annoyed by wimminz is my most fav pastime.
^5 Deal! 😀 😀
BTW, sorry to note somewhere that you amkian guys missed the reception but glad that you, and yours, were able to remain dry during all that’s been happening around you.
wish I were wet in london.
No you don’t. I hear their wet is often bleak and dreary.
wet means many things, you know.
/face palm…. + groan/ #pleasedonttellmedonsrubbingoffonu
Morning, vc! Congrats on the job (I think)…since you’ll be working, maybe you’d like to contribute some cash to buy amk a yacht…he case they need to skiddatle in a hurry from all the flooding rains that global warming never had anything to do with…. see above for yacht info:)
yes, vc. listen to
mamadf. me needs that urgently. I have spooked the rain goddess.Morning, Df! Sorry, no yacht contributions for unowho2 (won’t encourage him in any more grandiose ideas than he already has). I would however contribute if you’d agree to give him some swimming lessons in the not-Olympic pool.
touche’.
😉
Seriously, can you swim better than CC and I?
I do crowbar swimming rather admirably.
😀 😀 Desertf could probably make a decent living just teaching a group of (unwilling) TODobots how to swim for survival.
yes, it would go rather swimmingly well for her. 😎
😀 😀 You can put #ma right here. _______
No way am I playing these word games with you – I never win.
🙂 🙂 You have such wonderful rapier wit!
Some TODobots bring out the best in me! 😀
🙂
amk is an Engineer, why hasn’t he built his own yacht by now??!!!!!
Don’t ask. He’ll probably claim that’s because TODobots don’t pay their bills.
Good west coast morning to you, Gx2 – hope you have more sun than we do here.
egg.sack.lee
furst don’t pay, then have the temerity to ask why he hasn’t / smh.
I’m a charity case, don’t look to me for no stinkin money 😀
My daughter, the doctor & I have mountains of student loans to pay
Good international morning to you my working sister 🙂
Yes, we have sunshine and the temps will rise from current 54F to 79F. Shorts & sandals time 🙂
‘Shorts & sandals time’ – I’m scandalized! Wait a minute….I’m not really. I haven’t had to button up my winter coat yet even though I’ve worn it once or twice. Life’s good!
Long read…

The H-2 guest worker program, which brought in 150,000 legal foreign workers last year, isn’t supposed to deprive any American of a job. But many businesses go to extraordinary lengths to deny jobs to U.S. workers so they can hire foreigners instead. A BuzzFeed News investigation.
45 minutes and zilch to show for it. smh.
Not only did I drop Mahrez, I hired Giroud …. who scored an own goal. So I lose two points. I wish I had some brandy.
Lots of good reads here. I like Propublica….you may want to bookmark

Love these! Like you, I am infrequently vile. I could have told you that without taking this quiz:) That said, there are SOME people I wish would take this and share !
😎
of course, you are. why would you even have to take that test?
Damn Chips, you SCARE me 😯
I wish United put the same fear into West Ham 🙄
WOW, I’m infrequently vile, which to me makes perfect sense.
I got the same thing.
Good West Coast morning Chipsticks & TOD family.
I arrived just in time! Halftime will be ending soon and then the Match will really commence!!!

Okay, my gooooooooal morning chant – (clap along) Let’s GO ManU, Let’s GO!
