MORNIN' CEIL--& HELEN!!---I wasn't expecting a split either RED!!

wvgal_dana said...

Robyn it is so good you dropped in. I love Bobbi's emails.

Norma Norma Norma dear...I haven't checked the donkeys yet. You will have to check them and comment. I will read it when I get back.

I've been having a ball buying swimsuits. It is like I'm in Florida and the beach is right here. lol

That new Wellness and Fitness Center near the hospital in Winchester. Is so so great !! I just love the pool for exercising and walking.

We made the split...hope everyone made it ok.

Wanda I hope you seem where I said before split. That Nilla worked on Sandra O's computer. That gal got it up and running so fast and good.
No charge just as a friend Nilla did it for. BOY OH BOY COULD YOU WANDA AND NORMA USE NILLA'S EXPERTIZE (don't think that is spelt right but spel check let it through).

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DANA!---Enjoy your time at the WELLNESS CENTER!---I will let you try on the bathing suits!---I am not a very pretty sight!!---ho!-----enjoy--enjoy---that is wonderful exercise!!! -- Bet SANDY was delighted to have NILLA fix her computer!!!

normabyrd said...

ATLANTA'S "CC" BOY CUB is doing what he does best!!----SLEEP---his little neck look a bit dirty??---or his that straw??---HANDSOME DUDE!!!----11 lbs---

wvgal_dana said...

Oh Norma back then Sandra said Nilla spent almost all day there with her working on that computer.

Norma sweetie I don't have to try them on. Hee hee just went by the size of my old one. I brought it back in 2007. So just searched the internet stores and yla ordered. Then last week saw another I like plus hubby needed one so just put in my order. Store called when it came in and just went and picked up. Well give this new one a dip in the pool today.

Have a Grand DAY !!

Costume Lady said...

Dana, you are right, we haven't heard from Nilla in a long while. She pops on from time to time and then disappears. I think she has some health and family issues. That sweet little Jasmine keeps her busy.

OK, Red, for better or worse...I'm going to try the counterspy download now...wish me luck;)

normabyrd said...

ROBYN!---Have really missed you!!---Thought maybe you had finished your studies!!----But I haven't been on much lately---so get things confused---(not always with the program) ho!

Mits said...

WANDA you have mail.

Red said...

Wanda, After you download, you'll need to install and run. I'm sure they will have instructions. Good luck.

normabyrd said...

I see a TURKEY TAIL at the PA SITE!
Wonder who or what is digging the holes there??

movin said...

Morning, Norma, Mits, Wanda, Red and crew.

If you know of a good stand of Circassian Walnut, or mahogany or teak, Norma. I will be happy to hug the whole growth ... I can always use it for gun stocks or sell it.

Or I will certainly hug a money tree....


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Red said...

Sure is lots of snow on the snowman cam today.

normabyrd said...

WOW!!---JIM----I DO HAVE A WALNUT TREE!!!---I know it isn't an English walnut----Not familiar with the CIRCASSIAN WALNUT!!---Is the CIRCASSIAN walnut a native of the US?----describe the tree for me!!

movin said...

... Might hug a stand of Christmas trees too, Norma ... if they have that beautiful, full growth that everyone loves.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

RED---That is what one would call a real SNOWMAN!!----ho!---We are expecting snow here tomorrow!---But everyday they predict it---It is COLD!!

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all.

My live feed is working.

Another good piece of spyware is

Ad-aware

I have this on both computers...but you have to run it for it to be effective (hint for me!)

Also, I run AVG antivirus...it's free and comes with spyware detection now also.

normabyrd said...

That tree I know!---ho!---When my husband was living---We sold Christmas trees!!

Mits said...

I finally broke down and got rid of all the free stuff, and got Windows Live One Care, they give you 90 days free to see if you like it, I did, and I got it:)

movin said...

Anything for you, Norma. This stuff is seriously beautiful wood that they use in gun making and high line furniture, wall paneling, etc.

The Circassian comes from the northern Caucasus region in Europe.

Circassian Walnut:

NOUN (1)

1. Eurasian walnut valued for its large edible nut and its hard, richly figured wood; widely cultivated;
[syn: English walnut, English walnut tree, Circassian walnut, Persian walnut, Juglans regia]

normabyrd said...

RED!---Are you familiar with CIRCASSIAN WALNUT tree?---Don't you live on or near a famous tree
farm?---I don't think I am describing it correctly!!!

normabyrd said...

MORNING PAULA!----How is your MOTHER'S health?----I pray she is continuing to improve!!

normabyrd said...

JIM---There are ENGLISH WALNUT trees in our county---Don't think I have one!!!

paula eagleholic said...

eagle alert our nest!!!

movin said...

I also have Ad-Aware, Paula, and I like it, but it takes a while to scan.

I usually use this free stuff I got from AOL..."AOL Spyware Protection." It only takes a less than a minute, and you wouldn't believe how many pieces of spyware it catches some days.

I also use Windows "Internet Options" to remove cookies very often. Cookies are necessary briefly when you are opening a site, but they carry the spyware stuff and are of little value once the site is opened; so OUT THEY GO on my computer.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Some cookies are good...can save your login info, etc. I let the spyware get rid of the bad ones.

You can also adjust the settings so it runs faster Jim, but it will slow your computer down...

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle still in the nest....facing west...(right)

Red said...

Norma I don't have English walnut trees but have some Black Walnut ones. I don't believe Circassian Walnut trees grow in North America.

Mits said...

I see it:)

movin said...

Look how grown the little Hummingbirds are getting.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

normabyrd said...

WOW!---Do the workers stop when they see EAGLES at the nest??---The wind is blowing there!---WOW!--I guess I will never get used to seeing them!!---Seem each one is as exciting as the first one!!!----

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I know Norma, I do need to keep it up but that is impossible to do that and work too. It is my pedal foot (the one that stops and starts the doctor's voices). If it is still this bad in the morning, I may go back to the ER. Would rather be shot than go there though!!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

That is Belle in the nest, ain't it? I was watching Luney trying to wriggle free from his mommy's grasp, just like a toddler. He is sleeping now.

deb said...

What a nice way to open the cam up and see an eagle enjoying the view.

movin said...

Yeah, Red, the Circassians are native to Eurasia, but they might grow here if introduced.... Or they could just torture some American walnuts to get that extra beautiful figuring in the wood.... Hahaha.

It is really beautiful though. French walnut too.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Don't reckon Lun believes in letting sleeping babies lie!! He is so precious!!!

Red said...

Freebie software is free for a reason. You are much better off with something thats tested and proven.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

panda wrasslin at NZ. Andrew is on his way to DC today. Don't think he was gonna try to go to the zoo. Said he wanted to go to the Museum of American History. He is not as much of an animal nut as me and his mommy.

paula eagleholic said...

Looks like Liberty...

ATLANTA CUB FRIDAY UPDATE

Friday, December 5
Yesterday, the cub had another check-up from our veterinarian, Dr. Sam Rivera. Once again, a clean bill of health was given. He received his third distemper vaccine and another round of measurements was taken. The measurements are as follows: body length: 58.5 cm (23.03 inches); tail length: 6.5 cm (2.56 inches); neck girth: 29.5 cm (11.61 inches); chest girth: 43.5 cm (17.13 inches); abdominal girth: 49 cm (19.29 inches); nose pad width: 4.8 cm (1.89 inches). You can scroll down to the Nov. 23rd update to see how much the cub has grown in the past 2 weeks. His weight was 5.023 kg (11.07 lbs).

paula eagleholic said...

Companies offer it free, but just doesn't have all the bells and whistles you might want...so they ask you to pay for the upgrades version...Doesn't mean it's not tested...

movin said...

Look at the scene at Lun Lun's place right now.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

paula eagleholic said...

Live feed is freezing up...

glo said...

Good mornng all. Enjoying that beautiful sight in our nest while I get ready to head out in the ice and snow with my cam for a short while. Bitter cold here but I work tomorrow so Dex and I are off for a ride.

Hope your day is filled with Beauty. Its everywhere for sure.

normabyrd said...

MORNIN' DEB!---The same thing happened to me this am----I just couldn't believe my eyes!!---This is the second time for me today!!--WOW!!-----ENJOY!!----

paula eagleholic said...

Looked up and around and off in a hurry to the right...

paula eagleholic said...

Glad to see you this morning, Robyn

movin said...

Yeah, Ad-Aware really works, just a little on the slow side. And it's made by a famous software co. in Sweden (which my memory isn't pulling up right now.)


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Red said...

Paula, I ran freebie software for several months including Ad Aware and I continued to have problems intermittently. Finally someone convinced me to purchase Counterspy. I uninstalled all the freebie stuff and installed Counterspy and on the first scan it found 43 spyware files the others had been missing. I'm not saying freebie software is worthless but you can pay a little and get much better protection.

normabyrd said...

SISSY---Try the call to the pharmacist---for suggestions--- that you might soak your foot in that would help!!!---Didn't know it was your 'pedal foot'---BUMMER!!---TRY TO KEEP IT UP AS MUCH AS YOU CAN!!---Isn't that "CC" the most handsome little cub????

ps---have you check the internet for help with your sprain???

paula eagleholic said...

I hear ya, Red.

normabyrd said...

SISSY---I am having lunch with a nurse---will ask her!---

Eagle-Eyed Sharon said...

Good morning again everyone. Have really enjoyed watching Lib and Belle in the nest this morning. What a treat.

Andrew has gone to Manassas today with the Concord band for their Christmas parade tomorrow. Sure do wish I was there to see it this year but not menat to be. Andrew called earlier, was in McDonald's in Woodstock, VA and Ralph Stanley came in the restaurant. I think Andrew was tickled to death to see him. Didn't ask him for an autograph though because he didn't want to interrupt him eating. I thought that was pretty thoughtful.

Mits said...

Good Morning, Miss Sharon, who is Ralph Stanley????

normabyrd said...

HI BLUEFIELD SHARON!!---Don't yell--ho!---Who is Ralph Stanley-- a singer?----Too bad you couldn't come with the band!! --- like the old days!!!!

Red said...

Ralph Stanley is a mighty fine Bluegrass singer.

normabyrd said...

Thanks RED!----I knew I had heard his name before!!----LISA loves blue grass---I can take it or leave it!!----Is that his home town?

magpie said...

Hi Eagle People.
I like Blue Grass and I have heard of Ralph Stanley. I can't do a thing on the computer today especially the blog, something is all kaput with the computer..
I can't even read your comments yet except the last few. Sigh.
So, see you later, maybe.

Mits said...

thanks, Red, not into bluegrass, so never have heard of him

Mema Jo said...

Howdy Everyone! Thought I'd greet you this morning in a Blue Grass fashion - since I am so late!

Good to see the #1 blogger of this split is our Robyn. Great to see you and to know you will be having a break.

The sun is shinning and so warm as it comes through the windows

Mits said...

Margy, I have had trouble getting into and out of the blog since all the pretty holiday avatars have appeared...love them all but it is causing havoc on my puter:(..."it is what it is":)

Mema Jo said...

Suzanne sent me pics of what I missed earlier.
Sissy - goats? Sure had me baffled with the pic - of course I was trying to figure out what those white birds were.
Why can't you improvise with the foot pedal????? Can't you use your other foot????
Helen - did you say days ago that you get to go see M&M gals tomorrow?

Mits said...

snowing on pix cam

Mits said...

2 eagles BWO

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Ralph Stanley is the one that sang Oh Death on O Brother Where Art Thou.

Mema Jo said...

They are suppose to announce today which puppies are leaving this Sun.
Also I think they are going to tell us which one they decided to keep.
Those little guys tire me out just watching when they are in their playful moods. The new owners have been there in the evenings playing with them & even an article of clothing from one of the new owners is in their pen so they get use to their smells... I've really enjoy this cam

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Tom said ya'll was city slickers, that's why you don't know Ralph Stanley. HA!!

Mema Jo said...

Maybe a City Slicker with a country ♥

Mits said...

YES, JO, we are babysitting tomorrow:)

Mema Jo said...

I know that the beautiful blinking avatars do take a toll on the blog's speed. Miss you Margy.

Well I am assuming that Lynn is at her destination and enjoying family!

Mema Jo said...

Sissy - did you find Christmas cards that you liked the other day you went
out trotting around on that foot?

Mits said...

they don't affect my speed, they just crash to page somtimes, and then I can't get out to get back in:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

No Jo, had to settle for what I could find. I will be better prepared next year maybe.

Mema Jo said...

I need to break for a few.....
Chilly sitting around in my nightwear.. But I do have my socks on! lol

Red said...

I hope Wanda has not crashed her puter. She'w been gone quiet a while now.

Mits said...

might have to send Margy out to look for her.

Mits said...

Red, Wanda is ok, counterspy is till scanning....she will be back on when it is done:)

Red said...

Thanks Mits. I was worried that I had gotten her into something over her head.
