«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 392 of 392split is here.
yes Megan, I like using it, because most of the time I'm by myself, and I do chicken steak, hot dogs, hammies...all kinds of stuff
Hmmm looks like an unraveling piece of rope now....
Wonder if Nu left his rope in the tree :)
We do have a Foreman grill, but have never used it. Don't think it is big enough for our steaks. Gene always cooks for an Army. He learned to cook in the Army and was Mess Sgt.
Didn't Nu leave a hammer the last time?
The hammer might have been left for Lib & Belle to open up the turtles :)
I noticed the rope effect too Paula. Could be some strings on edge of duct tape. Up close they would look like rope
EEEEEEWWWW! SORRY!
I'm doing well ty Lynn ( : Just taking it slow, not bending or reaching up.
I love my George Foreman grill. I had the older one and got the one where you take the upper and lower trays out. They can go in a dishwasher also. I'm the dishwasher here lol.
I'll have to wait awhile to give my thoughts if that is spidey's web. In order for him NOT to REBUILD. SPIDEY WOULD HAVE TO HAVE BEEN "ANNIHILATED" HIMSELF. Just cleaning the web. He could rebuild if he wasn't removed. We'll have to wait and see.
Wanda sorry about your steaks...try another option if you don't have a George Forman grill. Is there a fire going in the fireplace?????
I think this weather calls for some tomato soup and some grilled cheese. Warm the inners..
Only THE SHADOW knows. lol
Oven broiler works good on steaks too.
Do you realize that two weeks from today is Christmas day?
your correct Red, broiler is big enough....Think Nu did leave a hammer one time
thanks for the warning Red:)
I prefer to say in 2 weeks it will all be over, and we can all relax...have done a ton of shopping online today
Broiler doesn't work very well. Stove is as old as our house (38 years) It was condemned by the gas company 4 years ago. Fireplace would have been good, Dana, but we don't have the utensils to cook there...too late anyway...Mr. Gene has them in the skillet. He promised me they would tast just as good as on the grill! DUH...
time for a new stove Wanda
Yep, Helen, and a new fridge. Our fridge is one that still has to be defrosted! Haven't found any to suit me just yet. I think I will settle for the color called "Bisquit".
we had our kitchen redone 10 years ago, and I would love to get new appliances, but hubby says if it ain't broke:)
Our filets are done---in the broiler. Hardly ever use grill anymore.Fubby just scarfed his--said he could have 2! I'm not hungry yet.
Now the foreign object in front of nest looks like a piece of ravelled string or rope!
Nu didn't leave a hammer in the nest...but they did take a pic his in the nest for size reference...I think that was last year or the year before....
Later...
Helen, Jo blocked my mail....I didn't know how! But, no, nothing came through today. AOL is up and running. Hope you gals have better luck w/ fridge's than I have had....three in 16 yrs.! Dishwasher lasted 14. W&D are now 16+...hold my breath every time I do laundry!!
Definitely grill or broiler for steaks for me.....wouldn't want it any other way! Foreman does okay if outdoor grill totally out of question, but....I've grilled many times in coat, or w/ umbrella!!!
My house was built as a vacation home, and the then-owners only put in a toaster oven...I couldn't afford to get wall oven at the time, so aunt & uncle in FL had just remodeled their kitchen and brought me their old double Tappan unit...luckily there was a place for it! They are probably close to 35 yrs. old, but still work just fine!
I am home, we found the owl, Pictures are loading now.
Jo is going to love your owl, Deb:)
Hey, Deb, glad you took your camera this time:)
Lynn - this is the message that comes back from any email sent to your aol address......
Hello, I am away until 12/10/2008 and am unable to read your message.
Can you take that off now that you're home?
I unblocked your Momster Mail - and anything new would be coming at you.
Hey Deb - Glad you had your cam battery charged this time! Can't wait to see the owllllllllllll...
Wonderful photos, Deb. What a great life you have!
Yes, Helen...Jo will love the photos.
Eagle at Caltran
They are there now, Jo!
Jo the owl is on Deb's site now, check it out, great pic.
Owl is up and ready, Jo.
I am disgusted with Dish Network and the local CBS station. They are fighting over money, so guess who doesn't get to watch Survivor tonight. I am look into Direct TV now.
Hootie Hootie Hootie -
Like Mits said He sure was sitting there waiting for you!
Thanks Deb..
Now find a Snowy Owl..... lol
Mits - when you only saw 2 pups awhile ago This is what was probably going on........
Just took Amaya out for a walk around the neighborhood. No leash biting - yay! Also let her run around the house with the other adult Shibas we have. More sniffing everything than playing but she's taking everything in stride.
No announcement yet on the other 2 being taken to new homes..
what a bummer Deb, isn't tonight the finale?
thanks, Jo:)
easy dinner tonight, both hubby and I had chicken soup tonight...his 3 week cold seems to be coming to an end, but the lowly stomach bug is hanging around...grrr:(
Believe me, we are looking!
No, the last one is Sunday. I can watch tonights on the internet tomorrow. Who knows how long it will take to resolve. I e-mailed dish and told them I would be saying goodbye to them if they dropped CBS. Best station for local news and weather.
Jo, last night when I was leaving the zoo, and headed to parking lot B, as soon as I stepped foot onto Panda Plaza where we ate, an announcement came over loud speaker....Welcome to Zoo lights, and I stode there all by myself as the trees blinked along with the Christmas music....don't know if it goes on automatically or is motion sensitive...but as far as I know Zoo lights runs Friday thru Sunday....
Dana talked about grilled cheese sandwiches. I don't know how long it has been since I had one. My dinner was grilled cheese and chicken noodle soup!
NBC next fall is taking off their 10 0'clock dramas, and putting Jay Leno on for 5 nights primetime....will make watching TV easy, and probably early bedtime too...
I like that idea. I always flip back and forth from Leno to Letterman and figure I always miss something. Now I can watch both if the guests are good.
Wow Hedgie...not too many Tappan units still working out there...Mom finally had to get rid of hers....gas double oven.
Deb - aren't there place to watch Survivor online? OK - I see you can watch it tomorrow. I don't have any problem w/ my locals on Dish.
I'll be watching Leno at 10 for sure...was disappointed that he was leaving...happy they worked something out!
I don't watch either, so don't care where they are...there have been some CBS shows at 10 that I like, now I can watch them, if they don't cancel them.:)
Wow, Deb, does your great horned think he's a barn owl?? Almost never see them in daytime.Maybe that's his panda nap hangout! LOL
Wow sorry Deb ! I like Suvivor and yes Sunday is the finale.
Mason's Candles
Great horned owls will nest anywhere there is prey and a nest site--trees, stumps, under bridges, in old buildings, cliff ledges, and occasionally on the ground. From my Owls of South Dakota book. We do see them during the day here, but in the winter it is easier to find them.
Wow Deb, your owl is cool.
I have never seen an owl. We have many of them here in our woods, and hear them often, but never see them.
Deb, what bird was it that you told us are frequently found in cedar trees with droppings on them?
Mits - that sounds cool that you activated the Zoo Lights. I bet you thought you were in the spotlight for awhile. That would be nice to see.
A lot of different owls will perch in cedar trees, Wanda.
I have seen three kinds of owl, barn, burrowing and great horned. I would love to see a saw-whet and a snowy, well, really I would take any of them.
I guess if I could see only one owl, it would be the Snowy...they are beautiful.
BTW, Deb, Survivor was interesting tonight. Don't know what we are going to do after the finale Sunday. Going to miss it. None of the reality shows that I watch are on anymore. Big Brothers, Dancing with the Stars, So you think you can dance, America's got talent:(
Still raining here. I wonder if eagles can catch cold...remember one of the babies sneezed a lot? I guess nature takes care of it's own.
I wonder how Lolly's party went. I sure would like to have a piece of that cheesecake that she made for their dessert;)
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS
RED Can you give me any input on the Kent Forum being totally restarted? I just needed to register as though it were the first time.
Good Night Wanda - sweet dreams
I watch Survivor, religiously, except tonight. I wish you could watch it on the internet as it is happening on TV, but I will see it in the morning. I couldn't get into Dancing this season or Amazing Race.
I had to do that, too, Jo. I never did get a password mailed to me, so I can't get on, so I am just sending for a new one now.
Phooey !
Here I am trying to catch people before they say good night...
Missed Wanda :(
Brother is it wet outside! I am soaked..but my ♥ love for you folks ♥ has inspired me to say Good Night to those leaving before I peel and dry...
☺
Deb, We have barred owls here, I see and hear them sometimes in Morgan County, Saw-whets too, but it has been a couple of years since I saw one of them. And maybe others but that is my Owl report....not to go see Your Owls! ☺
Oh poop! that is NOW to go see yours !!!
Man oh Man, I would have fallen over, Deb! So beautiful! Ha Ha, my code to type in was "remath" - and it didn't work. Should have have been "re-type" probably. ☺
Hedgie must be feeling better if she can talk about food! ☺
Okay, gotta get into pj's now...
I haven't gotten an email from Kent Forum yet either. So no password no get on!
Guess I will need to check out the ME Forum.. I haven't been there for a couple months...
I know that Aaron (without a camera on him) saw the barred owl near Shepherdstown a few month ago. Took
him awhile to ID it but that is some good looking owl! Goggle that one Wanda - he may be the one in your woods.
Jo. Everyone had to re-register at the Kent forum. The server crashed and lost all data. Even Larry the administrator had to register again.
I'm off to bed now. Been a long wet day. Snow missed us though. Yeaaaaaa!
Link To Barred Owl - Listen to his
hoots
WANDA hope you see this in the morning.
I reregistered and didn't get a password, sent for new one tonight, still nothing. I see that you can contact Larry personally, so if nothing comes by morning I will do that.
Thanks for the info Red. Maybe we can get it started up again if the Lake Washington Eagles are starting to rebuild their nest.
I sent Wanda an email with the link to the owl
Deer at the snowman cam.
I guess they clear some kinds of paths for the deer?
Puppy Pen Mom is already in the pen
but someone is getting their attention
outside of the pen - bet it's Dad
Aaah, homemade chicken noodle soup with seasoned croutons...not bad...especially on a sloppy night like tonight....☺
That is a noisy owl.
It sure is - scary sounds in the middle of the night!
Pups are happy to have both humans with them. They go to the vet tomorrow - they'll be weighed there.
I keep reading to see when the other 2 will leave.
Margy - how many days you have off?
" Who cooks for you, Who Cooks for you awllllllllll "
Barred Owl.
Just realized, after listening to Horned Owl, (had to go to another program to hear it), that the Horned Owl is the 12 o'clock bird on my bird clock! right under my nose all the time!
♫ ♪
Mema: Not Enough !!
I return to work Friday night 6 pm and Saturday night 6 pm for two 12's then took the last part of Sunday night off ( 6 pm - midnight) to have an early birthday party for THE grandson here. After that I have Three days off! ☺
James's Real Birthday is Dec 17 so we will have another little party here then too....☺ He is turning 9 years old....
Rain was so hard that it totally blocked satellite for several hours (computer one, i.e.!). Oh well, better than snow!
Deb, owl is lovely!
Jo, you have mail! Thanks.
I read my email - Sorry you still got all the messages when it told us you weren't home. Use to wish when I worked and took off for a few days that it would NOT allow the message to come in!
The little guy's Mother will be here through until the day after his birthday, then back to Florida she goes....
It's all step-stuff (step-daughter, step-grandson...) but I don't think that way...just wish everyone could be here all the time, that's all....
James is a lucky kid, Margie, to have you as a grandma....two b-day parties w/ you! Weekend will still be busy for you, even w/ 6 hrs. off!
I AM feeling alot better, but puny enough that I am still taking it easy!
He is certainly the Light of My Life, Hedgie....he keeps me grounded and airborne all at the same time ! ☺ ♥ ☺ ♥
I am so glad to see you again !
puny - that is a great word to describe the way you must be feeling... some words were just invented by someone who must have been feeling that way!
Maybe it was the 97-pound weakling from the comic book days of old...☺
But soon you will be a Whirling Dervish, I'm certain ! You can't keep a good woman down!
Both of our cams are up/running.
I really didn't see any color today.
Like you said we need a bright red car or truck to go by so we would know we were seeing color!
I see the Caltrans nest has color.
I'm getting ready to head out for the night.... no ferry boats for me to see
Good Night my friends
Peace to you & yours
Prayers for many being said
(((hugs))) ♥
okay - I will quit being sappy now...am waxing emotional, listening to a double CD entitled Winter in New England...☺ has a few Christmas things on it, but mostly just very serene and comforting music....♫ ♪
Our Cold, Bitter, Long Night or Snow Moon "goes full" at 11:37 Friday morning..
Winter solstice the 19th at 7:04 am.
G'night, Mema Jo: I hope you have the Best Dreams, Ever ! ♥ xo
Goodnight, Jo!
Thanks, Margie! You're so sweet!
Yawning here...think I will head for the tub, and then tuck myself into beddy-bye. Quiet on the Bluefield front this evening...and nothing from Thelma, either. Hope everyone is okay. Of course, missing Vicki, Paulleo, Chrissy, too!!!! Night to all....prayers and blessings.
I, too, am headed to bed, achy and sore throat. I hope to nip it before it gets a hold of me.
Night all.
Well, my party is over. Had 27 here tonight. We had fun...the kind of party where you laugh til you cry.
Deb, hate that you are not feeling well. Not the time of year to get sick. Take care!
Okay, then, we're all getting tucked in...Jim will check on us later and give us his rousin' Good Night to All in Eagle Land!
I almost had to go to the office for a computer re-set: let's hear it for walk through written instructions ! Yippee !
Peace, Love, and Prayers...xo ♥
I was just looking and reading the blog then went to see Deb's owl. Great pictures!
We have a lot of screech owls here. One year we apparently had a family of screech owls close by. They came to our birdbath every night. So, Jack set up the camera on a tripod. We got a great picture. One of the owls about screwed his head off turning to look at the camera when it flashed.
I am going to go put my feet up now. Time to rest!
Daggone...or should I say doggone...missed the last 15 minutes of ER...was letting the dog out front and he took off...thank goodness it was only sprinkling...
Grey's was a repeat! Boo!!
Roflmao, Lolly. I can imagine that surprised owl now! Sounds like a great party!
Time to turn in here as well.
Hugs to all.
Well, heck, I might as well say,
***GOOD MORNING***
***EVERYONE***
now. It must be 5 A.M. back East by now.
I want you to read the three new Channel Island reports that were posted in the last couple of days. The link should be below.
Channel Island Reports
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Good Morning Eagle ♀ and ♂ Buds -
Sure sounds windy on our cam this morning...
The male Ring-necked pheasant is at Scottish wildflife trust and the sound is finally back on!
Well, he was there and the site has gone black on me three times, so maybe later.
Looks really choppy in Finland...
Hope today is a good one for everyone. Please try to wear a little RED for the Military today...thanks !
See the bark or leafy thing flapping in the cam view at NCTC -
looks pretty unsettled there weather wise...
snow at Pix PA.
xo
anyone from the Souther Delegation stirring this morning ?
I see car lights on the road at NCTC -
GOOD MORNING MARGY...
Did you get any sleep?
Hi Wanda!
Yes, I did, thanks...got an early doctor's app't ..
daylight approaches at NCYC - I think OUR birds need to roost and check out things for our viewing pleasure! xo ♥
Jim's Channel Island link leads to great things in California...scroll down a few lines to the Dec 11 updates...Thanks Jim !
All the little trees in the background at NCTC sure seem to be "Blowing in the Wind"
Windy in Maine too...
I missed the pheasant on the Scottish site, once again. I also have a black screen now. Was it a male?
When I see those flopping things at OUR NEST I keep thinking it is Eagle wings coming in for a landing !
Our cam is really having some weird issues!
Best Wishes that everyone Under the Weather yesterday is feeling much better today....
OK, I think we have a ghost in our nest.
Whoa, there is weird stuff flying in front of OUR Cam this morning...
Ghosts of Eagles Past?
SPIDEY'S GHOST! HAS COME TO HAUNT US!!
Yes, Wanda, it was a male pheasant...very striking...
but the screen went black, and now there was just a woman giving some sort of a speech. I have not had sound there for several days, finally had it this morning and Poof all went black. :( Maybe later...
The still cam does not show the weird things...maybe the camera is just very sensitive to things that come in front of the lens...
little leaves and bark pieces and things like that..
Wanda - have you checked out the OWL things that were posted late last night? ☺
Squirrel braving the snow at Pix PA - so cute
and I think the salt lick sites are picking up motion from blowing snow !
If you mean DEB's, yes. She has some wonderful adventires!
But the Great Thing about OUR NEST is that the live video has survived the lousy weather of the last 24 hours! Steve said maybe John was able to get some of the new parts installed....☺
All kinds of leftover looking things at BWO -
Should be a feeding frenzy there today....
And an Eagle there now to start the action !
That was one, well fed squirrel:)
BWO that is...still your hearts, not our nest yet..
Yes, Wanda, and Jo posted a link to the Barred Owl hooting...
that sure looks like an Eagle wing coming across our camera! (don't think it is...)
I can't play for much longer this morning, I really would like to see the whole bird!
bird site back up in Scotland, but no sound again! :(
Well, time to get ready to scoot
You all have a good day, "see" you later...
Good AM, Eagle Buds!!
Whoops--looks like bigger debris blowing across lens today. Wind has changed directions, too, since what we saw last night. Looks like tape or a strap, when it's still almost looks like man's tie!!
The Capt. is sleeping in this morning...so I need to turn the heat up and the coffee pot on. Maybe that will wake him up!
BBS
Oh,hi Loretta. That is some weird looking stuff going on in the nest, isn't it?
Back after coffee....
Turkey Tribe in Pix PA !
TTFN out the door xoxo
Hi Loretta !
The dark on the white snow there is so beautiful...think they are all hens....
Good morning everyone. Whatever is flapping in the breeze is close enough to the microphone that you can hear it now. Sure does look pretty windy there today. Need to send Wanda out there with Debs high power lens so we can all see what it is. Maybe Steve has an idea.
Eagle alert. Our nest.
She is looking at whatever is flapping too.
ha ha and the wing of another one fanning the nest while he/she works. Good morning all.
nice to turn puter on and see an eagle
Morning all. We have a visitor. Whatever that is flapping above the nest is bothering the eagle. He/she keeps staring at it. Hope it doesn't make them hesitate about being in the nest. It is definitely a distraction to them.
or maybe we don't think its a wing. hmmmm well maybe I should go get some coffee and Dex his dog treats.
Don't think thats a wing Glo, Something has blown loose around the camera area. Just haven't figured out what yet.
well if it isn't an eagle but a distraction then yes we may have a problem that will need addressed.
GOOD FRIDAY A.M. EVERYONE
and it needs addressed soon. Man I surely hope this one gets attention very quickly. We don't want to move them away from that nest. argh!!!
Sure looks blustery in the nest this morning. We have about 1/2 an inch of snow but it looks like it is going to snow more now. Temp has been dropping all morning.
I think Nu may need another climb to see what came loose. Maybe he could adjust cam angle a little better too. After the wind settles down of course.
Could something like that make them abandon the nest? Surely not!
Crows are close.
FORCAST FOR NEST......

Sharon says it is bark, sycamore loses its bark alot she says. Can't blame Nu.
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST !!
well, what ever it is he sure does not look worried
EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST !!
Maybe if it annoys her enough she will rip it off herself.
Well read some comments back and see you all know that.
I do think also that our eagle does not like whatever it is that is blowing.
Could be something that blew in from somewhere else.
Good morning Dana.
I think Sharon is correct it is just the peeling bark from the sycamore tree and if he was bothered by it he would have flown out long ago...he is fine
How is everyone this morning? Bark does make sense and it is wide, doesn't look like rope.
Mits, plastic bags in trees is one of my biggest pet peeves. Just the ultimate in people ruining our beautiful planet!!
Sissy, I know it is one of your peeves:)I saw your pics.
Good Morning Everyone
I was over reading Jim's blue link to IWS he put on earlier. Thank you Jim.
Hope those that have been sick or injuries are feeling better today.
I am beginning to think whatever is flapping. Is worrying us more than our eagle.
Boy, looks like the wind is almost blowing our eagle out of the nest!
gone off the launch pad
Poof!
I'm getting seasick! LOL
lol Loretta one year we watched at nest. I believe it was Sidney not sure. That tree and nest really moved and we did feel sea sick. It moved most of the time.
Good morning Eagle Buddies!
Jim's link above to Channel Island Reports IS GREAT !!! Pictures and video's are awesome on there. Jim again thank you for putting the link up.
Hello, Sharon:)
Good Morning how are you feeling Sharon?
bbiaw going back to Jim's link
Hi, Sharon. Hope your feelin' good. ☺
Gotta get ready for work---Later
moose om moosecam and sunny day on snowman cam
2 eagles at WEST END NEST
nice close up view of WE now
poof at WE after a beautiful eagle call.
New thread is up w/ info!
Good morning, everyone. I am watching Survivor. See there was a visit this morning and we have something dangling from above the camera.
DEB, we have a new thread..
Morning all. Just read yesterday's comments and wanted to chime in about my birding foray on Wednesday. I went with my expert (my words) neighbor to an old strip mine area. We saw at least 2 short eared owls prowling the fields looking for dinner. There have been 7 reported in that area. Then we saw a flock of snow buntings. My friend said she hadn't seen any in 10 years. I am glad she was with me because I could never have identified them.
Windy day in ME and nothing else to report for myrecent cam visits.
A little snow here--hope the roads are ok, Mom has a hair appointment this morning. BBL, you all be good.
