RanMan!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Hey Ms. Chips. I have to tell you how much I Love You for all that you do. Thank You!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaw, {{RanMan}} 🙂
I love you both! ❤️😘❤️
Dudette, ditto to My one and only Ultimate Classy Dame. ❤ (: ❤
RanMan wins!
RanMan wins!
RanMan wins!
😀
Ran Man – #! – congratulations!
(1) November was an average photo month 😕
(2) I put Putin in the wrong month, so here he is again.
(3) Am I embarrassed? Well…….
(4) Will have December up in a while – because December comes after November 😎
didja release what the mod monster ate in the last thread?
What have you done now? 🙄
why does it always have to be me?
was talking about @80plus’s nice post.
That was a lovely comment – why can’t you be like that?
100 will get you all the lovelies.
yeah, but that blighter is a billionaire. otoh, mebbe you should ask him to be lovely. see where that gets you.
What’s the point in being a billionaire if you can’t have lovey-ness?
why ask me? ask them.
Ms. Chips, you should never be embarrassed about putting Putin anywhere. President Obama tried to help him relative to going into Syria. Putin realizes he made a grave mistake in thinking he can use military force to exact his will.
You notice Putin comrades in America’s msm I.e. Andrea Mitchell, Wolf Blitzer, Chuck Todd, CNN, ABC, etc.) are not providing any updates on Russia’s activity.
Msm purposely chose not to report the success of America’s military on ISIL. One must go to BBC.Worldnews.com, BBc.com, AJAM.com to get the updates.
My editorial prediction regarding Syria-ISIL: They will be chased underground/destroyed/eradicated from Syria by August 2016. This does not mean their International sympathizer want be motivated.
I know where I’d like to put Putin, RanMan, the same place our poo poos go.
Hahaha LOL 😂✊👍👌
furst.
Look at the handsome little devil – and his eyes match the basket!!!!
the fecker has become too greedy in my absence. #beggingforscrapsfromthedinnahtable.
I hope you bring him back tasty treats from your travels?
I have but the fecker has to behave furst.
No, no, no – give him the goodies, then he’ll behave! Or is that where I’ve gone wrong with Danny?
w/smh
Awwww, look at Jack
the rascal has become rascalier in the last 2 weeks. lessons have to be taught. lessons will be taught.
How old is he now amk? Maybe he’s going through his terrible two’s
not even two yet. shudders.
Oh boy. Then he must be getting lessons on being bad from the neighborhood monkeys. You’re gonna have to keep him away from them 😀
da monkeys have been awol for the coupla months. wonder what happened.
Fess up – what did you do?????

😀 😀 😀
MY HOPE IS THAT THE ENERGIZER IS TREATED WELL THIS YEAR…FOR A CHANGE…HE HAS BEEN A HUMBLE SERVANT DESPITE THE ROCKS IN THE ROAD. HE HAS DESIRED NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR THIS COUNTRY DESPITE THE MORAL AND SELFISH DECLINE OF MANY….BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I……………AND HE HAS WITHOUT QUESTION..WALKED FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OTHERS AND NOT HIMSELF….
Any time I get a chance to see any of the Obama family together is number one to me, so POTUS, Malia, and Sasha gets my vote.
SO MUCH TO DO TODAY AND SO LITTLE ENERGY…I’M GOING TO HAVE TO FAKE IT!…MORE COFFEE COMING UP…BBL………….ERRANDS 2DAY!
Good Morning BFF and TOD.
Obama’s fault!!!! Morning BFF!!
We will always have higher prices than anywhere else because of the additives in our gas, but there’s also a whole lot of greed going on too. One refinery is broken and needs repairs and now a couple of other refineries are being shut down for maintenance – WHAAT!!!???
Maybe not. We are still at $2.69, it’s the lowest we’ve had. But we do have the tax which is ‘supposed’ to go to road and highway maintenance, although an additional $65 was tacked onto the tabs renewal fee, for exactly that same purpose. Still, our economy seems strong, lots of construction, light rail up and running, thanks to the stimulus, and rent keeps soaring (not good)
I paid $2.85 on Tuesday and that was at ARCO, our cheapest major brand.
Yes, our economy is getting stronger and better still, our hiring is improving vastly.
During the years CA had GOP Gov’s they allowed the oil companies to buy independent refiners, close them, and when the perfect storm of only a few oil companies with fewer refineries if only one of them goes down our prices go through the roof no matter the price of crude or gasoline.
Chips, um, can I vote again? My choice was #4, but my hand clicked on #3 😯
😆 I hope that didn’t flippin’ happen in 2012 ….. or did you vote Romney?????
Damn! you & your memory 😀 😀 😀
YOU DID VOTE ROMNEY?????? 😯
Show ME the Money, you damn right – I didn’t! ROFL
Mittbot!!! 😤

Anyway, Jeb! sucks some stupid for breakfast. (lunch and dinner)
7:30ish – is that a lie-in?? If Danny woke me that early, I’d put him on eBay.
OMG! That’s waaaaay better than 5am…which is usually what time we get up:) 7:30 feels like half the day is gone!
5am ……… O …….. M …….. G!!!!!!!!! Damn, you’ve almost had a full day by the time Early Bird Chat appears 😥

Happy New Years Eve TOD 🙂
In_Deed!!
The “…. and Peshmerga forces …” is very significant and a non-trivial adjustment of US foreign and military policy (thank you POTUS).
Yup …
And, here’s a large part of the reason why ….
the men fleeing weren’t male Peshmerga, to be clear ….
Amazons History is full of them. What a shame they’ve been written out.
Not anymore.
Thank you for all you do to bring the international front to TOD, Bobfr.
Hope this comes out right:)
🙂 Mighty warriors
how awesome is this
Fantastic, df!!!!!!
Happy New Year 🙂

Can he tie his shoes? Clueless idiot…and he’s supposed to be the “smart one?” Does that mean as bad as GWB was, that we actually dodged a bullet? Shut those guys up…let them tend to cows in a field somewhere…
And he thinks he’s sounding coherent too. It will be interesting to see how far he continues in 2016
screw it, I am not going to stay awake for two more hours.
Gawd, you have NO staying power. What year is it in India? 1856? /runs
Happy New Year’s Eve, Everybody!
Some wise advise from a wise young man!
You all saw this about Rubio, right? Yowza.
http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2015/12/31/10144/883?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boomantribune%2FSvpw+%28Booman+Tribune%29
Flippin’ heck, what a delightful brother-in-law.
“Rubio also declined to say whether he or his family received financial assistance from Cicilia…….”
Hmm……
There was a lot to unpack in there….this guy was no normal “ex con” that had served his time….this guy was waaaaay more than that!
His gang even murdered and mutilated a guy ……. good grief!
Booman has a lot of information and a healthy dose of speculation in that article.
Happy new year folks💪🏿🏈👁👌
Now cnn is reporting that the president will have gun control.
So now the NRA caught off guard bc it’s New Year’s Eve, will not be able to show up in every Sunday show calling this president a terrorist and he wants to take our guns etc etc.
Oh the beltway really doesn’t like this President.
Why? Bc he doesn’t play the games of years gone by and it makes them mad.
Happy New Year Jovie!! 🎈🎉🎊
Hey there 😇
what? thought would welcome the ny with a joke.
What if an asteroid didn’t take out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago?
Would you be waking up to a T Rex outside your door every morning?
Just asking?
with that, gunnite. got a nice, free crime thriller to finish on kindle….. yes, I am a miserly shylock, why do you ask?
Now, this I believe!
Good night & Happy New Years amk 🙂
Happy New Year, to 99ts and all our other TODers, including lurkers, who’ve already turned the page on the calendar! Love to you all! May you enjoy good health, peace, prosperity and boundless love!
This is brilliant info. Thanks Dudette and Happy 2016 to you!!

Racism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, white supremacy and religious discrimination.
Trump dancing to the fear $$$ and hatred $$$ in his head.
