Well, you are in my prayers, Mema Jo.

I hope the biopsy proves you are healthy as you possibly can be.

movin said...

The fish started leaping again. Should see some bears getting some.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Thank you Jim. Did anything interesting go on at work on Friday with the restructuring? Did you just get more work piled on you?

carolinabeachmom said...

JO You are talking about a hospital stay? Have you said that before on the BLOG? If so, I didn't read it on here. Just wondering.

normabyrd said...

carolinabeachmom said...

Looks like both Einstellia and Albert are down in their nest now waiting for dinner.

I guess Eggbert has flown the coupe. i hope not for good. His nest is MT

Looks like Fin Juvie is still sleeping off a good night's sleep.

Boy is sure sounds like the people at the bear cam site are having a good time.

normabyrd said...

HEY JIM!---How did your meeting at work go?---Any changes---Hope every thing worked out in your favor!!!------Some time change is good----Some time it's not!!

carolinabeachmom said...

Yes Norma, JO is lucky to have her middle name be family. I only have one son that is still datiing. :) I'll probably be dead by the time he has children, and Jo already has great grand children. I had Josh when I was 32 after being married for about12 years. I think that is why I still am in Kindergarten; to be around the little ones.

Mema Jo said...

Candy you have mail.

normabyrd said...

CANDY---SURE sounds like they are having fun!!---bet they don't know lots of people are listening in!!
Did you notice the FIN site was a little darker than usual!!

Mema Jo said...

Good close up of the large brownish bear

carolinabeachmom said...

Wow look at that bear up close. I am glad I am stitting on my pc. and not there.

normabyrd said...

CANDY---Check the BEARS---CAM IS CLOSER!!

movin said...

Actually, Mema Jo,
I've been at that company for nearly 22 years, and I was thought by someone to be on the list to go many times since the early 90's.

Well, this time I actually was terminated.... But I had been fairly ready to retire for some time, and I think that was a factor...they give employees being terminated a list of the ages of people going to cover themselves legally, but both of us, who went in our department, are retirement age or older.

I'm not unhappy about it, and I got a pretty good package to tide me over. They 'made it possible for me to collect up to a year's Unemployment' as well, whatever that means. Wouldn't I be able anyway??

"Onward and upward."

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

Sun rising on Fin chick. He is getting more fidgety. the cam is already dated the 29th , my sister's birthday.

movin said...

The Swallow chicks are visible again.

normabyrd said...

But I can't see all the BEARS---We were watching about 8-9 bears at least!!

movin said...

Just noticed, it was Norma, who asked about the job restructuring.. Sorry.

Jim

normabyrd said...

DINNER--I'M STARVING---

movin said...

Both Kent juveniles are 'kicked back' in the nest right now.

Jim

Mema Jo said...

Norma, Paula or Mits pointed out that the daylight hours are dwindling.

movin said...

Got to go for now, eagle lovers. Talk to you later.

Jim

carolinabeachmom said...

JIM Sorry to hear about your job. This is they way things are played out anymore, and I am sure aware of it now that I am approaching 64 in Aug. It is cheaper to pay a new employee than what you were getting paid. They probably did you a favor. Now you can lead the life of luxury unless you want to volunteer places or take a side job just to keep busy

carolinabeachmom said...

They are talking about the bears again, if you want to listen. One bear close up.

paula eagleholic said...

Can it stil be that light in Alaska or are we watching a rerun?

First time I have heard voices...

Jim - sounds like you have a good attitude. Collect the unemployment!
I agree with Candy - go for it!

carolinabeachmom said...

I can't believe how the birds just stand around all the bear and they make no move to eat them. Well, at least these bears aren't getting the poisoned fish from China. :) They can eat their own home grwon fish right there in the river.

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like the bear guy is talking on the phone.

Heard some thunder - hope we get some rain, got only 1/10 inch today :(

Mema Jo said...

No Jim - you were correct - I was the 1st to ask and then Norma's thoughts were the same & she also asked

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF RETIREMENT
It is really a great feeling of freedom and it sounds like you got a very good package. I think it is up to the corp as to how long the unemployment benefits last. Most corp's only give 2 or 3 months.
It will take some time to get new routines after 22 years.

paula eagleholic said...

Nope, no rain.

carolinabeachmom said...

Welcome back PAULA. We have been watching and listing to the bear cam for awhile. First they were trying to fix cam and talking to someone on ham radio or tele to see how it looked. Then he went on to tell how they keep track of who is who. and now he is talking again.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Paula, no rain here yet.

Grizzly bear time is 5:43 PM AST

He is giving all the names of the bears...........

paula eagleholic said...

One bear is named Dallas. Next one is named aardvark, Ivan, light colored bear is Albert, an old bear. couldn't catch some of the others.

paula eagleholic said...

Duh - Thanks Jo!

Mema Jo said...

HE GOT A BIG FISH !!

paula eagleholic said...

Been good fishing there today.

Mema Jo said...

FISH FIGHT FISH FIGHT

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - Jim said he could collect unemployment for a year. You can collect it for 6 months in Maryland.

carolinabeachmom said...

I LOST THE BEAR CAM! Did anyone else?

Mema Jo said...

I still have the cam but no talking at this time--just rushing waters
Oops! He's back.

Mema Jo said...

Paula, I guess I am thinking that when a corp eliminates an entire department and you have an option of going elsewhere in the corp and don't find anything - the unemployment can be shorter -- OR is it mandatory in MD to give the 6 months?

Mema Jo said...

Well for sure we will hear from Jim more often and that will be nice.

paula eagleholic said...

In Maryland, if you are "laid off or reduction of workforce" you are eligible for 6 months. This sounds like how they are terming it for Jim so he can collect unemployment.

Mema Jo said...

I need ice cream! BBL

carolinabeachmom said...

Ice cream sounds good to me Jo. I am sitting here eating a piece of watermelon.

paula eagleholic said...

OK, so I'll get some ice cream too!

paula eagleholic said...

Been wanting some anyhow!

paula eagleholic said...

Woo hoo it's finally raining!

Jill said...

Hey everybody. Unemployment in WV is 6 months. Can somebody give me the bear website address, please?

paula eagleholic said...

Back with my bowl of ice cream w/ hot fudge on it. Darn stuff was so hard to get out of the container, a sliver did one of those "flips" out of the carton and landed on the floor...the dog rushed over and cleaned it up for me! Thank goodness it was the strawberry ice cream...

paula eagleholic said...

Jill - Here's the cheap version you can copy and paste...

carolinabeachmom said...

The bear cam and sound keep going off on my pc. I only have the blog and the Finland site up with it.

HEY JILL, these bears sure have been fun to watch tonight. I sure wished they'd get it so it stays on.

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - same here.

Jill - you still in Philly?

paula eagleholic said...

I reloaded whole page - hasn't helped

paula eagleholic said...

Back now

carolinabeachmom said...

PAULA Yes, it has come back on, Wonder if the man that was there bumped into it. Whatever. It is moving all around now; skyward, whatever. It is like he took it off his mounting.

paula eagleholic said...

It appears they are still working on the grizzly cam.

MITS said...

I heard the guy yesterday, alomost sounds like the same thing that he was saying yesterday. Candy Finland is 7 hours ahead of us and the days, like, here are getting shorter already.

MITS said...

Alaska time is 4 hours behind us.

carolinabeachmom said...

Mits I just looked and it says that it is 5:28am at the Fin nest now.

paula eagleholic said...

Boy that ice cream was good. Thanks for the suggestion, Jo!

Mema Jo said...

The storm is still rumbling around up there. Some rain but not a downpour like we need. It is still so humid-hot.

Mema Jo said...

Yep! The ice cream hit the spot!

Mits - did you go on the beach today?

carolinabeachmom said...

THANKS A LOT JO AND PAULA. I hope you enjoyed your ice cream. My husband is sitting where I would have to go and he would see me. :( :)

paula eagleholic said...

I think someone fell asleep at the grizzly cam...pic hasn't moved...

paula eagleholic said...

I'm sorry, Candy!

Mema Jo said...

All you have to do is dish up 2 servings - Hand hubby his and then walk right back to the computer with yours!

carolinabeachmom said...

OH NO YOUR ANREN'T PAULA. I can feel you smiling. :)

Mema Jo said...

PG ALERT

Eggbert is visiting the nest. He really fills it up!

paula eagleholic said...

Candy - You're right! I burst out laughing when I read your post!

carolinabeachmom said...

My hustand would just look at my size and shake his head/ :(

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Jo! Did anyone notice beakspeak redid the links page?

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh good JO, your Eggbert came home for the night maybe. At least we know he is still coming back to the nest.

Mema Jo said...

We soon should start to see Freida & Frodo on their ledge. It's tomorrow around 1pm there now. I wonder if they placed all new stones on the ledge? They're clean.

MITS said...

That's correct Candy, they are 7 hours ahead.....didn't go to beach today, JO...watched the QVC special for Ovarian Cancer...took a short nap...went to church...picked up something to eat and have been watching TV tonight.

MITS said...

Update: Another curious bear has interferred with our camera. Please refresh your Internet browser if you experience a break in the feed. Read more about this issue >> On their forum people have been having problems with the bear cam.

carolinabeachmom said...

No one at Kent nest.

I gave up on the bear cam for today.

Fin osprey still in nest; waiting for him to do wing flaps.

Mema Jo said...

Saw the beakspeak home page yesterday. Bet Jason was glad to get it back to the norm.

paula eagleholic said...

Rain is over, but I actually had to dry off the dog - can't remember last time I had to do that!

Mema Jo said...

Sounds relaxing, Mits. Storming up here now. Anything down there. I love seeing lightning over the ocean.

paula eagleholic said...

Bear cam is back - that note has been there for a couple of days, Jo.

MITS said...

Yes, Paula, I know.

MITS said...

Good night!

paula eagleholic said...

Eggbert still flaked out in the nest.

paula eagleholic said...

Night, Mits!

carolinabeachmom said...

Oh boy, I just heard the clock hit ll oclock. I have to go to mass tomorrow morning yet. JO, I wasn't as smart as you, but James sings in the choir, so we go at 9:00 :( Talk to you all tomorrow. You all have a nice peaceful, restful night. GOOD NIGHT FOR TODAY.

paula eagleholic said...

Sometimes the refresh helps, sometimes it doesn't. Didn't have any problem with it yesterday.

And yup that was you Mits, not Jo!

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, Candy!

Mema Jo said...

Well I am going to close up shop!

Good Night everyone
Peace to you and yours
Prayers being said for all needs

paula eagleholic said...

About time for me to hit it too. Close 'er down, Jo. Good night!

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, so I'll shut it down unless Jim pops back in!

Good night eagleland friends!

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT/GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE...

AIRHEADED DREAMS OF RIDING THE WIND ON WINGS TO ALL. [Could be fun].

JIM

Robyn said...

Good evening everyone or good morning, I am getting ready to go to bed since we have 587 miles to get through tomorrow as we head into Winter Haven to see some dear friends from NY who relocated then off to mom and dads monday.

We had the most wonderful time with family and need to make this a vacation at least every other year now. It was like old times everyone just 20-25 years older, even their children have all graduated college or just entering. Nothing like family!

Jo we will be thinking about you tuesday.

I'll be back monday when we get to mom and dads...

Till then

Peace

carolinabeachmom said...

GOOD MORNING EAGLE WORLD, and Jim. Just finished reading last nights blog and see that you all sent off about the same time as I did. Sorry we couldn't wait up for you Jim.

ROBYN Glad to hear from you. You were really up late when you have that long trip ahead of you today. So glad to hear that all went well on your visit and now you are on to more excitement. Just drive carefully and look out for the other driver. You and the girls are having a super time together. It is fun to have you check in and let us know how things are going.

Well, it is almost time to get ready for church, so I will BBL.
EVERYONE HAVE A VERY NICE DAY TODAY. It sounds like someone must ge getting rain.:) Eyes to the sky.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE--
We had a nice rain here in Shepherdstown/Martinsburg. Pro bably 1 inch. Hope Megan got the same so she can stop doing the Rain Dance!

We have had many blessings this week among us Momsters, for which we give thanks. We are praying for a special blessing for one of our own next week.

Robyn and Candy and the rest of our group, have a Blessed Sunday.
