What are blue crabs.? What are soft shell crabs?

Anne-Marie said...

Paula I used to raise collies. Brushing I know about. Heidi is a miniature schnauzer . I don't have as big as a problem.

Robyn said...

No I can't lol I made sausage gravy for tomorrow my best friend is coming over for breakfast after the girls are in school, there goes the float, tomorrow for lunch maybe :)

Thank you Anne-Marie mom is great, treats me as if I am 16 at times but it's all good

Robyn said...

Night Wanda, see ya in the am

Robyn said...

I have a border collie/aussie mix and she sheds, brushed a medium sized dog off her the other day lol

Anne-Marie said...

I understand the 16 thing. I was a homeowner with three kids and working on my second degree and she still treated me like I was 16. I live three blocks away from my daughter and when I moved into my husbands home I swore I wasnt going to do the same thing. She says I dont come over enough but I remember what it felt like to have my mother in my pocket.

Anne-Marie said...

sausage and gravy, carbs.... ahhhh. I'll be over.

Robyn said...

We live 1000 miles apart but we talk several times a day.

Anne-Marie said...

border collies are a love. What energy. What intelligence

Anne-Marie said...

We had dry farms and sheep and cattle. Border Collies and Collies were stock too and were prized.

Robyn said...

I need to bring her to the groomer for a bath and a trim.

Anne-Marie said...

I don't take her in as often as I should. She walks into the shower with me. She is my husbands dog and not what I would have chosen but what he wanted. She is a love and so sweet.I have always had collies.

paula eagleholic said...

Anne - soft shell crabs are blue crabs that have shed there hard shell - it is a growing process. They Peel off of the hard shell, then they are soft shell for about a day, then the new shell hardens and they become a hard shell again.

Blue crabs are smaller than then king crabs by far. Most places they have to be 5 inches to keep them. The have 2 claws and eight legs. The last legs are their flippers that they swim with. Very good eating, you steam them for about 25 minutes, then pick the meat out of the body cavity and claws. Very sweet meat.

Mema Jo said...

Well, meds have gone down the hatch!

Good night all my friends
Peaceful Sleep & Pleasant Dreams

Robyn said...

We had her trained then when she was 2 yrs old one of the poachers shot her so she has 3 legs. She runs real fast can even out run the 4 legged lab she calls brother :). she can be running behind me and when I turn to look at her she will drop and drag herself the minute I look away she would be running again or walking, we call her tripod

paula eagleholic said...

Heidi - Here is a site where you can see pics, etc about blue crabs. They are an Altlantic Ocean crab.

MITS said...

Well headed to bed, so, GOODNIGHT EVERYONE...ANNEMARIE, got some info on blue crabs and soft-shells headed your way. When we have time I'll tell you how we caught them down on the Magothy River when I was growing up.

Robyn said...

Night Night Jo, sweet dreams

Robyn said...

Night Mits, sleep to the sound of waves, nust be nice

Anne-Marie said...

Thank you all. Its so different from one coast to another. Our crabs are not like that. We either get the King from the north or the Dinginess from the Pacific which are big and stout.



Tripod sounds special. Special dogs bring their own special love.

Anne-Marie said...

Good night all... Sweet dreams.. and love too..

Robyn said...

She's mine and my daughters bodyguard, very loving girl she is, doesn't trust many men maybe due to her being shot not sure. My ex wasn't abusive so it wasn't him. When she was shot I was the one who slept in the basement for 3 weeks with her to keep her company and clean and change her bandages after we brought her home from the orthopedic surgeon.

She is 10 today and a bit cranky but otherwise very loving

paula eagleholic said...

Good nite, Heidi, Jo and Wanda and Mits.

Tripod sounds like a great dog...actually aren't all dogs great?

Anne-Marie said...

No not all dogs are great but you guys are...

paula eagleholic said...

Good to you to Robyn...see ya Anne - 3 days to go!!

paula eagleholic said...

Good night, I meant to Robyn too

Robyn said...

Yup that time for me I see 5:30 creeping up on me, Night

movin said...

GOOD NIGHT, EAGLE LOVERS/GOOD MORNING TO SUZANNE AND THE "EARLIES"...

Ever try to get some explicit information out of an automated telephone system???? One of them I dealt with today only had 3 options, none of which were relevant to my needs, but it didn't seem to matter too much, since it hung up on me anyway.

I'll have to find a way to contact a human in the bureaucracy tomorrow.

Have a good one, rest well, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Jim

Jill said...

Anne Marie-there is a setting that you can change. One way lets you take one picture at a time when you press the shutter button. The other setting lets you take multiple pictures when you hold it down. Great for flying birds, skateboard tricks and soccer players. LOL

Jill said...

Robyn- NO more fires. Anytime you want to have lunch let me know.

Gene, I will take a gallon of Talons please. LOL

Jill said...

WHOA 4:25 and nobody has been here since 1. Guess everybody is sleeping soundly.

HI SUZANNE

Suzanne said...

Good morning, eagle world. Beautiful night out, 71° at home, 76° here. Couldn't see the moon at first this morning, it was too low on the horizon. That's a heck of a note, I'm hitting the road, and the moon hasn't even gotten up yet. Geesh! But then it came up, bright orange, turning whiter by the minute. Also lots of deer again today. Only think I saw a couple yesterday, but a bunch today!
Well, darn, opened SD, and the cam is down, only get the CamZone logo. Bummer. But looks like it stopped raining in Brisbane, and the cam has been cleaned. Either Frieda or Frodo are on the eggs. Nothing much else going on. Will have to go back and see if any eagles finally showed up at BW yesterday.
All have a great eagle/panda day. Isn't the Atlanta Beauty's birthday today? Celebrated all week, but isn't today the day? Just looked at my calendar, yes MaiLan is 1 year old today! Cake cutting at 11.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAI LAN!

Eyes to the sky, see the raptors fly!

Suzanne said...

Good grief, Jill, are you still up? Did you have to work tonight?

Suzanne said...

I just heard the worst news on CNN in the hallway...Luciano Pavarotti died! Man, I LOVE him! The world has lost a great tenor!!! Evidentally he had pancreatic(?) cancer. Damn!

Suzanne said...

Just remembered, today is Thursday!

TREE MAN COMES TODAY.....

YAH HOOOOO!!!!!!!

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING SUZ--
Yes, the SD Cam has been closed since mid-afternoon yesterday. Hope they get it back on soon or Squiggles will be grown-up without us watching it happen. She has grown so fast.

Pavarotti dead? What a great loss for the world. He gave me cold chills.
Are you familiar with Il Divo?

Suzanne said...

Morning, Wanda. Darn, didn't know the SD cam had been down that long.
Yup, Pavarotti gave me chills too, he was just wonderful to listen to. Always watched him and the "4 Tenors" when they were on PBS. Always could count on that show when they had their money drives.
I am not familiar with Il Divo, but I so have a couple of the 4 Tenors CDs. Are they also good like the 4 Tenors?

Costume Lady said...

Il Divo is a group of 5 men (I think 5) discovered by Simon Cowell (American Idol judge). Their voices are so beautiful that it makes the hair stand up on my neck. Very handsome too.

Suzanne said...

Oh, ok. Have to take a trip to amazon dot com and check them out. Thanks for the tip!

Robyn said...

MOrning Suz, Jill surprised seeing you here this early, maybe on day next week if u schedule is open you let me know I am flexible, not literally yet lol *ouch* waiting for meds to kick in

Robyn said...

Morning Wanda, Gene

Robyn said...

walking out the door to get tori loo loo bbs

Suzanne said...

Hey, Robin. You guys sure come in quietly in the morning. I'm sure you're getting Tori now, but hopefully you'll be right back. Hope your back is feeling a little better!! Takes backs a while to recover once they're hurt, least it does mine. Anyway, here's hoping you are feeling better today!

Robyn said...

The meds are working just my lower leg feels tight. Tri is on the bus and I my friend is coming over for breakfst. Made sausage gravy last night.

Suzanne said...

Hummmm, love sausage gravy. Haven't made that for a long time. Enjoy your breakfast!

Robyn said...

her daughter just got on the bus too, then she is watching the dale earnhardt story then she will be over. Looking forad to the gravy a firemn know gave me the recipe YUMMY.

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING ROBYN--
Yes, those firemen do know how to cook!
SUZ--when you have time, I emailed you a video of Il Divo singing one of my favorites.

Costume Lady said...

ROBYN--sausage gravy on biscuits or pancakes? Either way, I'll be right over.

floralgirl said...

Morning ladies! Hey Jim all you have to do to get a person is keep pushing the wrong buttons, or talk into the phone if it's a voice automated and say something other than what they are asking for. It should eventually work, just did it the other day with my cell phone co. I get so tired of talking to machines, especially when they can't fix my problem.

Suzanne said...

Oh, Wanda, that was you!!! I saw that email from YouTube, and thought it was spam. I'm racking my brain here trying to figure out how they got my work email address. Phew, that gave me a scare for a minute, there!
Ok, just took it out of the deleted folder. I'll try to view it, but don't think I can here at work...You Tube is blocked, but thanks anyway.
Robin, sounds like you're gonna have to eat enough sausage and gravy for both Wanda and me! Man, you're gonna be full for a while...
I just walked over to (UGH) McDonalds. Decided I was starving, and wanted junk food for a change. But it was ok, and now I'm full, so it served the purpose.

Suzanne said...

Morning, Megan. We're all gonna sneak over to Robyn's house for breakfast...want to go? (Course she doesn't know that yet, but she'll figure it out when all the cars start piling up in her driveway!)

Suzanne said...

Donkeys are starting to hang around the food bowl again...

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING MEGAN--
How is your allergies? Hope meds are helping.
Going for COFFEE now. The Capt. is up. BBL

Robyn said...

Wanda no need to sneak over , open invitation to my new family here. I made plenty, I usually make drop biscuits but cheated last night and bought pillsbury buttermilk biscuits.

Morning Megan.

Suzanne said...

Tell Capt Eagle we all said Good Morning.

Robyn said...

Maybe next spring we can do a picnic here and then head up to the nest I am only a few miles away from NCTC

Suzanne said...

Robin, that was me that said we're gonna sneak over for breakfast. Poor Wanda may not have even seen that comment yet, sorry, Wanda!
Robin, picnic sounds great. Maybe next Spring we'll have babies to see at NCTC!!! Oh, I hope so!

Robyn said...

I need to get with the program Suz, sry Wanda

Robyn said...

On the frodo cam what are those spots, are they moths?

Suzanne said...

Falcon on bar in PA. Squiggles and Bai still unavailable, darn! Think it may be raining again in Australia, raindrops on the cam, so Frieda is getting fuzzy.

Suzanne said...

You know what, Robyn, I thought that was rain, but if you watch, they do just sorta disappear! And she doesn't look wet. Wow, no wonder she's looking fuzzy through them!

floralgirl said...

Well, I am not a big fan of sausage gravy, but any excuse to hang out with my eagle budies is ok by me. Hey Wanda, Gene, Suzanne, and Robyn. Antibiotics are gone, and I feel better, but ears still feel clogged, and I don't think infection is gone. sigh.. ragweed pollen count was really high yesterday.

Robyn said...

I agree Megan, it isn't the food it is the company that matters!

Suzanne said...

Megan, does Flonase or any of that over the counter stuff help you? We have a guy here at work that has allergies, and he takes that stuff...says it helps.

Suzanne said...

Wow, look at all the donkeys now!

And Robyn, those spots keep moving on Frodo cam, so they probably are moths. Cool. The things you see on these cams.

Suzanne said...

Oh, there were 3 spots on there, and they all just moved. Well, they're still moving, how cool is that. Well, they're better to look at than a SPIDEY!!! And there they go, Frieda is visible.

Anne-Marie said...

Good Morning. I have been up since 4:00. I cant sleep. Robyn I'm coming over for breakfast.

Suzanne said...

Wow, morning Anne! Are you getting excited???

Anne-Marie said...

No I'm beyond excited. I have got to settle down. I'm not even being productive.

Suzanne said...

LOL, I sure don't blame you! Don't you leave tomorrow or Saturday? Man, I'd be flying high! I hope you have a wonderful time, and I know you're gonna enjoy your eagle sanctuary visit. That would be cool. Take lots of pics. And dress warm, it's gonna be a whole lot cooler there than in CA!

Costume Lady said...

ANNE-MARIE--
Get a sleeping aid and take it tonight and Friday night so you will be well rested. You will enjoy your trip more.

Robyn said...

Wish I was going Anne, Alaska is one of the states I want to visit and eventually I will.

floralgirl said...

I bet you are excited, Anne! We are excited for you. Always wanted to go to Alaska myself. Suzanne, right now I'm trying Rhinocort, I've used them all, I swear. I use whatever the DR. gives me, love those samples

Suzanne said...

LOL, Megan, samples are a wonderful thing!! Sure hope it helps! Or they help.

Costume Lady said...

MEGAN--
I had a similar problem last year. Got my sinuses cleared up but my ears felt as if I were in a tunnel or on top of a mountain all the time. Nasonex worked for me. $l00 worth. Hope you have Rx insurance. Of course, those samples the Doc gives sure does help out.

Anne-Marie said...

I'm sorry I finally got my computer working again. I think I had an early goblin in it. Thanks all, I will take some PM's tonight. I'm worse than a kid. Well my alarm just went off and I had better get the hot rollers turned on and go for it. I'll be back tonight. Have a beautiful day..

Suzanne said...

Try to have a good day at work, Anne!

Robyn said...

Have a good day, breakfast will be served in 10 min, bbl

morning to all you sleepyheads

Mema Jo said...

I don't think I have ever taken the time to put my feelings into words as what is meant to me as
Meaningful Mornings

Well - It's YOU -
YOU FLOCK OF EARLY BIRDS!
I wouldn't want to start my day without you!

Good Morning

floralgirl said...

Oh, yeah, Wanda, my sinuses still feel clogged. I have TMJ so any pressure around my jaw is unbearable. I have health ins., thank goodness, but have a large deductible for meds, which we rarely satisfy so if I get an expensive presc.I have to pay full price for it. Last time I had to pay for antibiotic it was $126.00

paula eagleholic said...

Robyn, I'll take some sausage gravy too...anything to get out of work!

Morning Eagleland!

floralgirl said...

Hello JO!

Mema Jo said...

Man, Megan - get all the free samples you can! The older you get (Ha Ha) you usually can meet the darn deductible - which I would rather NOT!

floralgirl said...

YEah, Jo luckily for us, we rarely mmet the deductible. But that often means 1 prescription can break the bank. Lucky for me, I got a great Doc who is always willing to give me samples if he has them. Hello Paula:)

Jill said...

Hey everyone. Suzanne I was coming back from work this morning. YAY. Gotta love stupid people.

Robyn-I think I am off Tues & Wed. next week. Maybe Thursday but I dont' think so. Lunch anything would be great. Sorry I missed your IM, this morning.

Anne-Have a wonderful trip if I don't talk to you again before you leave.

HI and Good Morning to everyone else.

floralgirl said...

Hey Jill. Time for me to get on the phone with insurance companies and argue with(I mean calmly discuss)claim issues. BBL -have a good day everyone:)

Mema Jo said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUTA BUTA!

Hello - Mei Lan - Can you hear me?
