GOOD MORNING EVERYONE, HAVE A GOOD FRIDAY

floralgirl said...

Thanks for the Friday thread Steve:) Hello Jill and Mits! I am working on finding out more details, working to get the accident report from the police. This was an inquiry from his auto insurance wanting to know if she has liability insurance.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey Megan- How's Peppe?

Did you check with your homeowner's insurance?

Mauley - you lucky girl, you! Take lots of pics for us!

I already sent the wax email to Wanda and Candy a couple of weeks ago.

paula eagleholic said...

Yay Mits! You are numero uno!

floralgirl said...

He is long gone this morning, Paula, thank goodness. I'm sure he'll be back out tonight, but I turned on the A/C in the bedroom, so I won't have to smell him:) I never thought to check my homeowner's insurance, I see liabilty coverage listed, I assumed it only covered incidents that occured at the house.

Mema Jo said...

Thank you Steve! Hopefully that ladder truck has been there, completed the job and has gone!

glo said...

Well everyone have a nice day. I am off to watch cams now...left lenghthy message on old thread. time to go play now before the rain comes back. tata

Mema Jo said...

Finny is eating - again!
All pandas are in early nap mode!
3 eggs being protected by Frieda.
Still not light enough for me to
find Squiggles.........

Just Vicky said...

Good morning momsters! Sure is great to be getting "our" cam!!! Can't wait for its debut!

MITS said...

Just a guess on my part, but since SD are old pros at this cubby thing, they may have stopped the 24/7 watch, and gone to a 12 hour working cam???

paula eagleholic said...

Divers!!

Jill said...

Yes Megan, the liability will cover come incidents away from home but it varies from policy to policy. I have extra liability that covers my rentals.

Hey if you can't sleep you can always go to work with me. Guaranteed to be a good laugh anyway. Better than watching tv most nights.

Just Vicky said...

Hi sweet Norma!!! So good to see you in here. Can't wait to see everyone again, and SOON!

Jill said...

Mei is trying to hypnotize herself. Bats the ball then watches it swing back and forth

Suzanne said...

Wow, good morning, all.
Haven't read what I missed, but Dad was in the nest with Finny, and he's got a very big fish under his talons!

paula eagleholic said...

We thank all instructors and dive masters from Bonaire for helping us to keep the lens clean.

Anyone seen any of the divers cleaning the lens?

floralgirl said...

Hello Vicky!! Jill, if I go to work with you, I'm gonna need the eagle cane, I have a low tolerance for stupidity. Although if I took it, I might end up in trouble myself.

normabyrd said...

paula eagleholic said...

Sounds like you're coming down for the open house, Vicky?

floralgirl said...

Are you coming to the open hose Vicky??? Cool!! By then I will be knee deep in the pumpkin patch. I have been 'promoted' to field trip coordinator and am busy booking schools for their trips. I will try to go to mkt. until late Sept., that will depend on mother nature.

Suzanne said...

Squiggles is alone!!

paula eagleholic said...

Norma! Finny has fledged already!! He has been back on the nest quite a bit, chowing down!

paula eagleholic said...

OK Norma, maybe you meant "migrate"?

Suzanne said...

Wow, raining like mad at Peggy's Cove. Squiggles still alone.

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, they finally zoomed in

normabyrd said...

LUN LUN was the only PANDA in the ATLANTA PLAY ROOM---But they opened a door & he went inside too!!---Haven't seen the "ATLANTA BEAUTY"---

Just Vicky said...

Yes Megan, I'm on my way to Open House! Can not wait!!!!!!!!!!!

normabyrd said...

OSPREY CHICK in the CT NEST---

Suzanne said...

Squiggles is moving around, Bai has been gone for a while, bet she comes back real quick.

normabyrd said...

PAULA---I thought I had seen him every day---MOM---then DAD bringing him FOOD!!!---THANKS for giving me the update!!!!

Suzanne said...

Well, no, she just stretched and went right back to sleep. Wish it was lighter in there, one of the infrared lights must have gone out.

movin said...

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!! TGIF!!

I'm going to publish immediately, since I just lost about a 2-page comment...Explorer "encountered a problem and had to shut down." I tried to save the text first, but "das ist verboten!"

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Aha-they just lightened it a little, Suz.

paula eagleholic said...

I just love that message from IE, Jim - NOT!!

floralgirl said...

Cool Vicky! Don't worry, Norma, I am definitely counting all my blessings. Just get weighed down occassionally in the complications of life.

paula eagleholic said...

Chublet needs some more straw!

MITS said...

Megan, ask Jill why they took away her gavel.....lol:).

paula eagleholic said...

Bai is back - nursing time - awwww did you see that big yawn from Bai. Poor Mama is tired!

movin said...

Good morning, Suzanne, Mits, Megan, Paula, Jo, Glo, Vicky, Norma "the Cool" and Jill...

Jim

movin said...

I think it's going to be a great weekend... Let's start it now, whadda ya say??

Jim

MITS said...

PAULA LOVE YOUR PICTURE WITH THE ANGEL

MITS said...

OK, JIM, we will need some EAGLE TALONS to get us started:).

Just Vicky said...

Bring it on Jim!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Thanks, Mits.

I'll have a talon, Please!

floralgirl said...

Got my giant cup ready, pour awway! Hello Jim:)

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING LADIES--
I must not have had enough coffee. I just posted a paragraph on the last page.

I'll repeat it:
I received an e-mail that I thought was cute and will send it on to you all. Forgive me if you think it is a little RISQUE.

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Did you have a skunk in your house????

movin said...

Earlier, I was telling Megan a sure way to beat insomnia is to get comfortable in a favorite spot, and really concentrate on staying awake while reading something you either have to read for your school or your work...or something you really wanted to read for a while like "Playboy" or "The American Rifleman" (you know, the article on "The U.S. M14: 50 Years of Service"), or any of the great Ernest Hemmingway novels. Really FIGHT to stay awake to finish an engrossing part .......................ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

JIm

normabyrd said...

The "LITTLE PRINCE" is so warm this mornin'---He looks just like a "BEAR RUG" lying on his favorite grate!!!!-----HE IS THE FAVORITE OF ALL THE PANDAS!!-----RIGHT!---HELEN!!!

Mema Jo said...

RISQUE - I needed that! Like I said, Now I don't feel so badly when looking into the mirror - They made me look real good! lol

floralgirl said...

No Norma, just had one scenting the air outside, and it was wafting in the windows.

paula eagleholic said...

I saw the sun!

normabyrd said...

WHOA JIM!!---Are you wanting MEGAN to read PLAYBOY to put her asleep!!!---I am sure PLAYBOY puts you asleep!!!!---zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL, that's funny Wanda. Was just talking a couple of days ago about seeing them at the Rabbit's Foot in Frederick a long time ago...

Mema Jo said...

Paula Love the pic - you did good! Norma I do hope that Anne brings your eagle home from AK.
We need others to get their avatars on here! It's a great way of noticing comments when looking for certain ones.

From what I am hearing the Open House is going to be Party Land again this year! WHoo HOo! The more the merrier!

normabyrd said...

SORRY MEGAN!!---That smell seems to stay around----Will let you know if I find a cure---ho! ho!---Just keep lots of your sweet smelling flowers around!!!---Remember in BAMBI---The little skunk was named 'FLOWER'!!!!

Mema Jo said...

OH Oh I was at the rabbit's foot - Paula you were too young to be there!

normabyrd said...

I was so upset about not getting on this a.m.---I forgot to tell you all---It's a GORGEOUS MUGGY day in WV---The temp is 87° already!!!!---

Suzanne said...

Time for me to hit the road. Sorry I didn't get to talk after earlier, got busy on other computer.
All have a great weekend!
Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!
check out Bai's sleeping position!
Bye

normabyrd said...

SUZANNE---Haven't got to talk to you much this a.m.----SAFE TRIP HOME & KEEP GYPSY COOL!!!---

floralgirl said...

I remember the rabbit's foot, although I never went there.

MITS said...

Norma, you know he is #1 in my heart:)....Have a good weekend, Suzanne

Costume Lady said...

SUZ--
Have a great weekend!

Mema Jo said...

Paula I just enlarged your avatar and that is the cutest pic of Limuw ever! I really do miss that little vagabond!

Mema Jo said...

Hubby is out cutting grass with the first rays of the sun!

Mauley said...

Hi Jill and anybody else who signed on after 9:00 this morning. Vicky, I love your eagle pic. Paula, the angel wings on LIMUW are so sweet. I left a tribute for him. It was LILY, Limuw I loved you. My husband calls me Dily sometimes for Donna I love you. It works for about anything. Loving things really hurts sometimes. Sometimes you just wish you didn't love so hard, but we can't help it can we? We tie our fodder shocks with sea grass twine. It it is the same twine we use to bale square bales of hay. We had to slow down with our farm work several years ago. We never got into round bales. Daughter uses round bales, but we don't do large scale farming anymore, even though my husband had to have a brand new John Deere 4 wheel drive farm tractor. He just wanted it to keep everything mowed. Gotta go read some essays, Jo busted me yesterday. BBL mauley

paula eagleholic said...

Jo - Jann on the IWS forum made it for me. The picture was taken on banding day by Jim Spickler, the tree climber. The picture is posted in the tribute thread.

paula eagleholic said...

Thank you SD cam operator, yes much nice to look at the front end than the back end!

MITS said...

DONNA, Glad my name isn't Barbara, or might be a little awkward, if hubby expresses his love:):):) tee-hee!

floralgirl said...

Ah, what would I do without my eagle buddies? Thanks, guys, been on the phone with homeowner's insurance co., we are covered, claim in progress.

MITS said...

That's great, Megan:)

Mema Jo said...

Fantastic, Megan! I would still want my Insurance agent to see some kind of proof of damages!

Jill said...

Great Megan. So glad we could help. Don't worry the insurance company won't pay unless they are sure your daughter caused it. I know she hurt her hand pretty bad but how much damage could she have done to the car/truck? Where did she hit it?

MITS said...

Megan, my sister says make sure you get the police pictures too.

MITS said...

Mei and Tian are ruff-housing again:).

floralgirl said...

The police report definitely faults her. She smashed into the back side and put a dent in it from what I hear. My ins. agent says, don't worry, we'll get lots of info before we pay.

MITS said...

For about 20 bucks dent can be taken care of, don't ya think?

MITS said...

And another thing, wonder how many dents were already there that they are trying to capatilize (sp) on? I'd like to go there and smack them silly.

floralgirl said...

Try about 2 grand.

MITS said...

Good Grief, Megan. My son ran into a car one time on his bike, he was just shaken up, but the guy was so shocked that he had been hit by a bike, he was just concerned that Kev was ok, never went after us for damages. Don't even remember if there where damages.

floralgirl said...

Which is what we naively thought might happen, cause we had never heard from the guy until 2 days ago when his ins. co sent the letter. It is a 2007 truck, must be planning on replacing the whole side panel that is dented, that stuff does get expensive.

Costume Lady said...

MEGAN--
I think you may need to borrow the CANE from Jo.

floralgirl said...

You may be right, Wanda. But I'm gonna let the insurance companies duke it out.

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey in CT and BW.

Vehicle body repair costs are unbelievable. Most of the time they would rather replace the panel than fix a ding.

paula eagleholic said...

That guy must be one of those "whiners" we all know and love.

Jill said...

GEEZ Megan, what did she do, rip the whole rear end off the truck? No wonder her hand is so messed up. LOL. I can't believe a girl on a bike could cause that much damage. Was her bike messed up or just her? Poor thing. But she is on the mend now so everything will be alright. Let the insurance companies handle it.

My son hit a gas pump, bent the nozzle thingy and broke out a piece of plexiglas and they wanted to replace the whole pump. My insurance said No Way. I think they are still fighting about it.

floralgirl said...

Just a big dent in the side from where the bike smashed into it, from what I've heard. Again, I wasn't there, and none of my relatives got a pic of the truck, cause all they cared about was my daughter's condition. So the ins. companies can fight about the estimate. That's why we pay them.

Costume Lady said...

We have so many Horror stories about accidents we have been involved in the past. None of them were our fault but trying to prove some of them took a toll on our sanity.
One in particular was about 12 years ago. We were coming down Rt.45 headed east on the bridge which goes over the Opequon creek. It was flooded at the time and the road was wet from a recent snow and gravel, etc. was in the road from the salt trucks. A car was stopped on the bridge and because of the road conditions, Gene knew he couldn't get stopped in time, so we swerved to pass the car and at that moment she decided to come into the passing lane (no passing lane on a bridge, unless an emergency) to avoid a pothole. Well, we hit her and demolished our car and just hit the side of her tail end.-----To make a long story short, almost 2 years later, she sued us for $100,000. and we were only insured for $50,000. She said her daughter was suffering from headaches from the accident. We found out she had been having headaches all her life. Threatened to counter-sue and the case was pretty much dropped. Was very scarey---Thought we would loose our house.

floralgirl said...

Yikes, Wanda, that's awful. Let's hope this guy just wants his truck fixed.

MITS said...

Well, I think I know 2 guys, Megan and for a small fee.......JUST KIDDING!

Jill said...

Yeah Wanda people will try to get whatever they can get. I was in a wreck on John ST. Hit broad side by a guy who didn't stop at the stop sign. All I wanted was damages for my car and medical, that's all I deserved. I wasn't injured for life, not mental condition. He tried to sue me for causing him mental anguish. HELLO. I told my insurance company to counter sue for Zach's mental state because he was traumatized by the wreck. And he needed compensation for the rest of his life. He was 6 months old. Shut that guy up real quick. And of course he saw the error of his ways. And to top it off, not too long ago he was arrested for DUI, no insurance etc etc, and guess who the magistrate was??????

Jill said...

You know two guys who will fix the truck, right Mits??????????LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Osprey in CT w/ headless fish =

2 Osprey at BW

paula eagleholic said...

JIll - Paybacks are he**!

Costume Lady said...

I think somebody got WAX!

floralgirl said...

"Some friends of ours", right?

Jill said...

Paula!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't do that. LOL

MITS said...

Ah, yeah, Jill that's right 2 guys who can fix the truck!!!!! LOL!!!!

Costume Lady said...

JILL--
How do people get license tags and not have any insurance? I have always wondered that.

Jill said...

Thought so Mits. LOL

Wanda, usually they get a 3 month policy or a policy they pay monthly, once they get the tag, the drop the insurance. A lot of the time we find the tags aren't proper either so they don't need insurance. By the time the DMV figure it out, if they do, the person is long gone from the address and it takes forever to find them.

paula eagleholic said...

Getting close to sunrize in Aussie land...

paula eagleholic said...

There goes Bai out the door.

paula eagleholic said...

Zoomin' in!

paula eagleholic said...

Awwww, I just love those tiny little ears.

Mema Jo said...

WOW Go to SD Panda Cam

Looks like a Panda Cub

paula eagleholic said...

Jill - I'm sure you followed the rules :)

MITS said...

There's CHUBLET:)!

Jill said...

Of course I did Paula, but there is that little bit of leeway I have that helps. LOL

MITS said...

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly they start to look like miniature giant pandas:).

paula eagleholic said...

Hope Bai is getting a bite to eat.

Jill said...

Has anybody heard from Nilla yet? I don't remember seeing her on here but then again I missed Jo the other day.

paula eagleholic said...

Isn't cub 2 weeks old today? Wow, 3 weeks old! My how time flies.

paula eagleholic said...

Leeway is good, Jill.

paula eagleholic said...

Frieda in color now.

paula eagleholic said...

Haven't heard from Nilla since last week, I believe. Here on the blog, that is.

Jill said...

Megan, there is some stuff you can get a Lowe's that keeps cats, dogs and other assorted animals away from your garden, it might work for the skunk. Not sure of the name but it has a funky pepper/cinnamon smell. I just put it on the bricks in front of my flowers and nothing goes in there. Do you use something to keep them out of your garden? Put some of that around the house.

paula eagleholic said...

Mom back and cub snugglin'

paula eagleholic said...

Have a good evening all. Getting ready to head home to mow the grass!! See ya later!!

glo said...

wax

Jill said...

Is it me or is Mei sleeping closer the door lately. Maybe showing little one the big world of the sun room.

MITS said...

You mean Bai Lun, Jill??? SD has a very unusal birthing den, really hard to see the cub. I really didn't like it trying to watch Su-Lin when she was young, and didn't like the fact there was no audio. There is a video with sound of yesterdays' exam on their web-site. And my sister reminded me that they have suspended the 24/7 watch as of the 17th, since everything is going so smoothly.

Jill said...

Yeah Mits. Can't keep my pandas straight, LOL. For awhile she stayed back away from the opening not she seems to be moving closer to it. Might be so she can keep an eye on Squiggles when she goe out to eat, which she is doing a lot more.

Anne-Marie said...

Hello, Hello, Hello, I dont know who is here but I am.... I havent read the blog and I'm afraid if I do you will all go to bed before I get through. ITS FRIDAY, HURRAY.....

MITS said...

Yes, Jill she is getting back to normal and that is a good thing, she is a great mom.

MITS said...

Hello, Annemarie, gald you have stopped by, how was work

Anne-Marie said...

Hurray, a real momster. things are fine and I'm so glad to be home. Its hot but there is a breeze blowing so maybe we will get a break tonight. It wasn't suppose to reach 100.

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Jill, I'm waiting for my camera. I'm excited. the mail man didnt bring it today. No UPS either.

MITS said...

Is it 2 weeks to go for your trip now? How long will you be gone?

Anne-Marie said...

I get butterflies every time someone mentions it. Its so silly. I'm a grown woman, not a kid waiting for Christmas.I had dreams of 6'4", blue eyes, and honey to go with me but that didn't happen. So here I go. 13 more days. I make friends easy so it should be fun. I have an appointment at the eagle rescue and rehabilitation center in Sitka . I am really excited about that.

Anne-Marie said...

I will be gone for 12 days

paula eagleholic said...

How is everyone?

Wow, the A/C feels good. Been mowing the lawn and walking the dogs.

paula eagleholic said...

Hey, Anne. Nothing wrong with getting excited! Sounds like it's gonna be a great trip. I would love to go to Alaska someday.

paula eagleholic said...

I take it you are flying up then getting on the boat.

Anne-Marie said...

Hi Paula I thought I was the only one on the blog so I was checking email. No I am getting on the boat in San Francisco. It bring me right back here. Talk about service.

MITS said...

Sitka, was on the show the other night about Alaska, wish they had shown more of it. Is that where the EAGLE LADY lives? There is a book about her.

Anne-Marie said...

Didn't it look cold. I am such a sissy. Snow should be enjoyed from a plate glass window and a cup of hot cocoa.

Anne-Marie said...

Mits, whats the book? I would love to get it.

paula eagleholic said...

Anne, this is the quick cut and past version. Baldeagleinfo is a great site.

http://www.baldeagleinfo.com/eagle/
JeanKeene.html

paula eagleholic said...

She is in Homer, Alaska.

Howdy, Mits. How's the beach tonight?

paula eagleholic said...

That sounds like great service Anne.

Anne-Marie said...

I have two weekends to pack. I dont do much on weekdays. If I can maintain my home and yard I'm doing well. I crash about 9:00 watch a bit of TV and get up at 6:00 to start over again. Its the clothes situation that is stressing me. I'm not sure what to take.

Anne-Marie said...

Have either of you gotten whitening system done at your dentist? I got ZOOM and boy is my mouth sore.

paula eagleholic said...

Can't say I have, Anne.

Anne-Marie said...

Oh well , thanks Paula. Have a nice evening and sleep well.

paula eagleholic said...

Just caught Frieda's tale off the eggs, still 3 there.

paula eagleholic said...

You got wax, girl!

paula eagleholic said...

tail, not tale!

paula eagleholic said...

Ok, folks, gotta hit the hay. See ya here tomorrow.

movin said...

Hope you all had a good Friday and are ready for an even better weekend...

Jim

Anne-Marie said...

Good night Jim

Mema Jo said...

Man oh Man! I sorta got away from here this evening and it is now time to tell everyone
Good Night
Peace to you and Yours
Prayers being said for all

MITS said...

That's right, Paula its Homer not Sitka!!! Anne, I think you just goggle eagle lady of Homer and it will get you to the name of book.

MITS said...

The beach is beautiful tonight, Paula, moon is almost full and the clouds and coolness have gone away

Costume Lady said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE--
Good Girl, Jo.
We were out to dinner with my Mom and daughter and didn't get home til late. Came in to see if you were still up and the puter needed to be re-booted, so I am just now able to get in here. Ran into Jill at the restaurant (we were both going after the crablegs)ttyt

MITS said...

GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE Wanda, Jo and I are the night owls, she may be off the blog, but she is still checking out Frieda, I bet:).

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, ALL.

JIM

Jill said...

Did Wanda mention she wouldn't share her crablegs??????????? LOL

movin said...

A VERY GOOD SATURDAY MORNING TO EVERYONE...

You can't believe I have the first comment of the morning, can you??

Hahahaha....

Jim

movin said...

I'm watching Pete's Pond now...ostriches are skittishly approaching the pond and drinking.

Both African sites look as though they are in for a storm...overcast heavily and the wind is blowing spookily.

Frieda is resting quietly at about 8:30 in the evening.

Jim

floralgirl said...

Good grief, what are you doing up so early? Try reading Playboy to get back to sleep. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

LOL - I don't think Jim got any sleep at all...maybe that's where he is now?

Take care today, Megan. Gonna be nasty out there today.

paula eagleholic said...

MT nests everywhere :(

floralgirl said...

Hey Paula- Yep, it is already hot and humid out there. I'm gonna avoid the sun today for sure.

MITS said...

GOOD SATURDAY MORNING EVERYONE, HAVE A GOOD ONE, STAY HYDRATED...WITH WATER:)
