«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 358 of 358Well, we just made like a pea and did it: S P L I T
I was cleaning my laptop and that is my story and I am sticking to it!
I think you have a ghost blogger there in Bedford...whhhhhooooo:)
So much exciting news being shared! Tomato angels, new furniture plus a new laptop, open house a-n-t-i-c-i-p-a-t-i-o-n!!!! All sounds fun!
And hopefully pkg. arrival in Tampa tomorrow, right , Margy?
Had company for a little while earlier. eldest and 15 y.o. gd stopped in....I needed a "holder" in order to trim dog's toenails! Got a very unpleaasant surprise, which has me a bit upset. Sure I'll get over it, but....for now I am still fuming. Just don't understand some people. Carolyn "let" Jessica pay for and get her eyebrow pierced......I just can't believe it.......stupid, stupid, stupid.
Hi Lynn,
Jessica is your grandchild?
Do know about having to have a "holder" to trim dog toenails. Basset hounds have very thick nails.
stay calm, Lynn, this to shall pass, don't sweat the small stuff...
Once I had to have a paramedic friend tend to my doggie's ingrown toenail, hubby at the time and I had the dog totally wrapped up in a blanket except for one paw....boy did that dog howl! But the problem was taken care of.
Well, Lynn...maybe Jessica will feel like "one of the girls" - I can understand your disdain, though. She surely does not need to enhance her beauty, though, she is beautiful young lady.
Oh, package has made it to Tampa twice and Baltimore once. It needs to get to Naples !
Good to see you, Woman...
been waiting on ya'.
Many kids have piercings. It takes a little getting used to for us senior citizens. Several of our young teachers--and administrators--male and female--have tattoos. It is a different generation.
Could be a ghost blogger! You just never know!
Maybe Edgar Allan Poe is blogging with us.
be nice Edgar:)
He did like to write about birds.
There is one other consolation, Lynn...at least it is the eyebrow, and not somewhere else...
I would be happy to have pierced ears again...
At least a raven.
Yep, she's my granddaughter....but not sure I feel like claiming her tonight....kidding, of course, but yeah, it is hard to take. I know, Mits....hopefully by the time she's an "adult" she'll remove it!! Both of my girls have succumbed to the tattoo craze in the last few yeaars, and they can't remove them! I just keep thinking of them sagging when they get old...LOL! Poetic justice.
At least she did not do it with a safety pin on the way to school. I have seen that happen, though mostly with guys.
I have been watching Golden Girls reruns ALL day!! Love those ladies.
yes he did...the mascots for the Ravens football team were 3 ravens...Edgar, Allan and Poe.....don't know what happened to Edgar and Allan, but Poe is still around.
Yes, it is a different generation. Remember how grown-ups frowned upon our guy's DUCK TAILS and our wild and crazy music? That was TAME compared to what is HIP now.
Lynn, I feel your pain. My grandaughter had her brow pierced a number of years ago and I was brokenhearted...GeeGee cried when she saw her. Just looked uncivilized. She finally got tired of it and took it out, but I had to look at it a gazillion times before she decided to do that!
But there will be lots of sagging tattoos among their peers one day.
I've been doing my Google Homework, grandson wants to know how Cuba got its name, and what else besides Humans, bees and wasps sting...think I have enough to start with. He especially wanted to know if bees sting elephants!
Back to some more Home Labor, since you can see I took a break.
Hey Mits! Always fun to see you on here late. Sure couldn't see ISS tonight for all the clouds here :(
I don't know when the clouds are going to clear away from here Margy...the tap, tap, tap I hear on my window pane tonight will be the strong gusty winds
Elephants have tough skin, I would think. Bet a bee would have a hard time stinging one.
Must say good night. It is getting late.
See you later!
You all know that I may have had a visit from E A Poe's ghost last night, don't you? Ask Judie about it...she started it!
Did you all know that Edgar Allan Poe died when he was 40?
my son wanted an ear ring in the junior year of high school, talked him out of it because he was going to the DR for six weeks in the summer, told him if it got infected, there are no doctors in the remote areas of the mountains, he waited till he graduated from high school and did it at beach week....told him it looked very nice, and never said another word....6 months later it was gone...:)
On October 7, 1849, at age 40, Poe died in Baltimore; the cause of his death is unknown and has been variously attributed to alcohol, brain congestion, cholera, drugs, heart disease, rabies, suicide, tuberculosis, and other agents.
Nite, Shirley:)
Judie, you have an e-mail.
Now, see, I always told Andrew he could have one and he was never interested. Reverse psychology worked really well there!
You do wonder what Poe might have written if he had lived longer. He certainly had a troubled life.
Good night for real.
yeah there was some discussion about him the other day on the blog, Sharon
Plan on watching for ISS here tomorrow night. Hope I do not forget!
Lynn, feel your pain. Do not know how I would react. I know I would not be happy!!!!
you know there are so many other terrible things they could be doing besides a piercing...just be thankful that they are healthy and happy...so many childern out there have great moutains to climb in their lifetime.
You are certainly right about that Mits!
Oh, yuck, Shirley, that sounds painful!
Love your new furniture---bet you are really anxious for it to come! Congrats!
Sure glad Kevin decided to take the earring out...would have ruined that handsome face!
Margy, it's easy to re-open your ears!
Thanks for making me feel better, gang! At least you've got me laughing!
So Poe is with us again tonight, I see! "Quoth the Raven, Nevermore"!
Lolly, are the travelers home from San Diego yet?
Sure sounds like rain is on its way! Guess Candy will get it first, then Shirley and Mits and then nest area! Hope it's enough to help!
Discovery and ISS crews have wsaid their goodbyes and closed their hatches. Shuttle scheduled for Thurs. landing.
Guess everyone has deserted! Or maybe getting dessert!!! Wish I had some ice cream---mmmm. Heading for tub. See all y'all in the morning! Prayers for all, and thanks given for fine fowl friends. Peace.
this is pretty much a coastal storm, Lynn..high winds, heavy rain, coastal flooding, dangerous surf
good night everyone, prayers for all...
Yepper - in about 2 weeks I'll have some new episodes to watch!
Diego is squirming on his back again.
Good Night All!
Pleasant dreams and restful sleep
Prayers being offered for everyone's wants/needs.
((hugs)) ♥
Let me slide mine in too:
Good Night Good Friends, Sleep Sweetly xo ☺ ♥
And Hello to any Night Owls, which I am going to be for a little while longer...xox
Oldest son got his ear pierced...it ended up growing over.
Youngest son has both ears pierced...and his tongue too...yuck! But ya'll are right...nothing to fret over.
"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
And so, I am off to dream...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Night, see you in the morning light!
Hugs to all ♥
Man oh man it is dark in Finland...
must be a big dark cloud overhead.
Loretta if you are around I bet you have been working on that banner and everything that goes with it!
Jim - hope your back is getting "back" to normal...
I'll be making a final check out in a few minutes...
I'm headed for the pillows now.
Megan : you are always one of the first ones up...hope you get to see some Eagle Action, and that the rains will help your gardens grow.
Good Night... from sprinkly Berkeley County
Nite all!
Sweet dreams!
Fell asleep, in my Lazy Boy with puter on my lap. See what you have to look forward to, Shirley.
Good morning eagle and panda friends! Back to the real world, summer is over!! :( Not quite sure how that happened so fast but it is what it is! Now I am looking forward to the Open House in October.
Hope all had a great weekend!
We had lots of excitement at the lake this weekend. My dogs found a copperhead right outside the camper door. Tom was fishing and me and Mattie were there alone. Flipped us right out. The park host, park range, police and everybody came. They relocated the snake and no one got bit thank God!!! It was after dark and they said that was very unusual. Tom wanted to relocate it to snake heaven when he got back, got there right in the middle of all the excitement!!
Good morning! Have a good day. I just popped on to read the messages. Raining here this morning.
BBL.
GOOD MORNING EAGLE BUDDIES!---
WHOA!---SISSY---I agree with TOM--I would want him to send that snake to the big snake heaven in the sky----ho!---
Wishing you a good day back at school---SHIRLEY----we had a very few 'sprinkles' during the night!!
MARGY---You are such kind person---so sometimes kind folks meet you & are kind to you!---Would pray all my children were as kind to others as you----don't EVER change!---You are a SPECIAL PERSON!!----
There are two eagles in the nest right now...
THAT IS, THERE ARE TWO EAGLES IN THE NEST RIGHT NOW...
Wow! Thanks for the heads up Magpie! I can't get my live feed to come up, can ya'll??
Morning Norma and Magpie!!
One now!! No live feed!!!!! BUMMER!
HI Norma and Hi Sissy
Live Feed has been down for a couple of days now...
Oh, okay, then it is not just me. Been out of touch for a few days. Reckon summer is over, huh? We probably won't go camping any more this year. We will keep the boat at the lake till the end of October, so we may go out on it a few more times. I want to go when the leaves are gone so I can see if there is an eagle nest somewhere down there. People say there is but I haven't seen any sign of an eagle. We do see lots of osprey though, which is wonderful!!
Both eagles again!!
Sounds like a good plan, Sissy, going back up to check for Eagles, YAY on plentiful Osprey...
Nice, two were back in the nest again, could happen again, it has been like that.
Pics are posted on Shirley, Lolly, Deb blogs and Momsters Album, and Wanda also has a video on one of her links...(And FB) you'll see they were around quite a lot over the week-end.
Hope Norma came back in time to see them, I'm going back to bed for a little while, eyes are giving me a hard time.
Norma: thanks! It's the (Eagle) Company I keep ☺ xo ♥
HELP!---I missed the EAGLES!---All I have is the darn barber pole!!
I saw em on the still cam, Norma!
One is still there!!!
SISSY---MISSED AGAIN!---WOE IS ME!
ho---
HEY HEDGIE!! (when you get on)---I know you read all the area papers & keep up---a dear friend of mine died Sat---NANCY HOCKENSMITH--but haven't been able to find her OBIT---she was Exec Dir-GOOD SHEPHERD INTERFAITH VOL---in Shepherdstown --but lived in SHENANDOAH JUNCTION?????----thanks----
The SUN is shining brightly on the M/T FINLAND NEST!---beautiful---
I am getting dressed for W/CTR!--The hummers are chasing each other----WOW!---so funny to watch---
I have been off so long--DEB!---I LOVED your photos of you & JANIE with OSPREY "GABBY"---printed them off & showed them to the folks at MARIO'S restaurant where we ate on that cool Sun!---They were delighted to say the least!!---Thank you for sharing----
DEAR LOLLY---Thanks for sharing the fun things you & your family are doing---WOW!---How lucky you & your kids are---having such a close relationship!!---remember---I am still up for adoption!---ho!
It is a cloudy dreary day here in WILD & WONDERFUL WEST VIRGINIA---home of LIBERTY & BELLE---parents of 'HEIDY'---sometimes called MIRACLE---May she SOAR HIGH FOREVER!!
need brush teeth---later
Good morning all.
Norma, when did Nancy pass away? Sympathies all around. No obit yet...if it's just been in the last couple of days. I'll watch for it, and send it to you. Have fun at Wellness ctr.!
Good morning, everyone.
Arrrrrrgggg! THE RAVEN WOKE ME UP TOO EARLY. Am in my office waiting to go talk about criminals. Will check in later today.
Shirley, have not received an email. 8:55am.
Good morning! Ahhh, Norma, Mario's. Did we not have a fantastic Sunday?! A glorious train ride to see the eagles and then lunch together. More fun!
And to top it off....NCTC late Sunday with Paula and Deb...and Jack and I personally met Belle and Lib. Truly a great day! I am reminded of it every time I see Deb's eagle pic on this blog.
I was up early today. Have to do some cooking to take food for a bereavement meal. Memorial service at our church at 11 and then help serving the meal afterwards. An elderly (96) man in our church passed away. His daughter and daughter in law are good friends.
Just visited the OK eagle cam. It is pointed at a tree and I can barely make out an eagle. Cool! Have not been to that cam for a while.
Good morning, hair cut this am, so will be back later today.
Sure this is the day for a hair cut, Deb?
I am off to cook. I too, will be back later today!
Have a great day and an even better week.
Good Tuesday a.m. everyone:)
on a personal note.....Happy Birthday to Maggie, Molly and soon-to-be Ben's dad....Kevin:) 32 years young today.
And a big happy birthday to our lovely Mits' son, Kevin!!! YEAH!
LOL, Lol.....Deb will never live that one down!
Sorry about loss of your friend, too. Seems like this is getting to be a habit, doesn't it?
Intermittant sprinkles here...nothing substantial yet.
Judie and Shirley: happy teaching today!
why thank you Sharon:)
clear afternoon at MT Finney's nest...FINLAND nest still not working.
Braveheart at BWO still hanging around
Hapy Birthday to Kevin, and Happy 32nd Parenthood Day to you and Jay, Helen!
thanks Margy it has been a pleasure having him:)
beautiful fishing cat on view at NZ
Happy Birthday to Kevin Kalis!!!!
I put some pictures on the Momsters Album from this morning's visit, thought I was putting them up in order, but they did not go up in order...
Best wishes for a good day for everyone...that the work of the day is not too tough on anyone, and that the play time is fulfilling
Morning, all!
Was up during the night and watched Wanda's video---had to laugh at our bickering couple! What a pair...judst like all old married couples!
Happy Birthday, Kevin!
those eagles remind me of hubby and myself....one year to go and then he retires....hmmmm, that will be challenging.....
thanks for the BD wishes, Lynn and Paula...will pass them on to the birthday boy...
Good Morning Paula.. four day work week, I guess that could be a good and not so good thing...hope it goes smoothly. These days you are working seven days a week anyway it seems...
Me too, Hedgie, testy pair...similar to what Megan and I were watching last week... Great Job Gene and Wanda !
Maybe Belle is PMS'ing...
Got to get some things ready to mail, letters and cards, NO packages...☺
I don't think we have asked Wanda to get the message to myoutdoortv.com about the cam...they might not know about it yet...
Wanda, oh Wanda, can you take care of this for us ? ☺
Thanks!
your right I forgot to ask her, Margy
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
It is a dreary morning and 68° here in Martinsburg/Shepherdstown. Very fitting for the day after Labor Day and the ending of Summer Fun:( But...we have each other and what more could one ask?! Maybe a WORKING Live cam would help;)
Has anyone emailed Steve? I volunteer if no one has.
Sorry Margy and Helen...I need to read comments before I type. I will contact Chris and Steve, now.
Mind-Reader Wanda! We were wondering if you could take care of this for us...you seem to have the right "connection" for the outdoortv cam folks.. ☺
My computer is way too pokey this morning
Thanks Wanda !
Hoping to hear that Gene is doing better today....Prayers for a good recovery SOON ! xo ♥
TTFN
thanks, Wanda:)
EMAILS HAVE BEEN SENT TO CHRIS AND STEVE.
Capt. Gene is getting better. His foot is only twice the size of normal...as opposed to 3 times!
He should be tip-top by the time the Shop opens, (I hope). I have gotten to the point where I am afraid to be there alone. So much crime is occuring in the little Mom & Pop places. We are tucked back in the woods and it is a prime target for the CRAZIES out there!
Margy - 4 day week....hee hee...I am taking off this coming Friday and Monday...going to Ocean City (and nobody dare fuss!!) for my 30th High School Reunion ...so I have a 3 day week this week, then a 4 day week next week. YAY!!!
Judie, I will check this evening to see what went wrong with the e-mail. I used the address I have in my address file, but can't access that stuff from work.
Hope your teaching day goes well.
I, periodically empty the cash register and put in a SAFE place in the house. If we are robbed, they probably won't get much...that is if they can get past Gene and his trusty little persuader:)
Wanda - missed what was wrong with Gene, but glad he is improving!
Oh, Paula, good for you! You really need a vacation. ENJOY, ENJOY!
Amazing how old everyone looks at those reunions: Tee Hee
Sounds great, Paula!
Good for You!
Okay, Wanda...keep hugging that foot, it must be working !
possibly a gout problem, Paula...
Paula, I think Gene has a very bad case of Gout. I'm not a doctor, but I slept at a Motel 6! LOL
I think that I told you before that I use my camera's video setting to film the nest, thus the poor quality, but you can still see what is happening...better than nothing, I guess. Wish I had Paula's expertise.
Wanda - sounds like you need to throw Gene in the car and take him to the Dr.
Hope to get to watch your video later :)
Getting on to wish my nephew a HAPPY 32nd BIRTHDAY. Card is in the mail.
Good almost over Morning
Congratulations Mits on being a parent for 32 years! You sure learn a lot of things during that time!
Happy 32nd birthday Kevin
Your Mom & Dad are proud of you, I'm sure
My daughter is here and we have been busy. I looked at my emails & read the blog but got sidetracked & didn't sign in!
Meatball is going to be here this evening - not sure what is on the menu.
I want to hear all about her school days! She sometimes gets so busy with her make believe that I can't get much talk out of her unless she lets me play the part of a 'sister'.
Before I get too busy, I'd like to wish Helen's baby boy, a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. He is a wonderful son, husband, father and quite handsome to boot!;) Helen & Jubby, you did good!
I'll be on and off today
Dr appointment around 2:30 (Podiatrist)
TTUL
That's cute, Jo...which kind of sister---sib or nun????
sib
Alexis sounds like my grandaughter when she was that age. She was such a joy to be around and I missed her wonderful "imagination" when she got older:)
thanks, Wanda:)...lol, Lynn, can just see Jo, dressed up like a nun
Hold on there, Jo...sending Gene to your house, take him with you! LOL
Sister Mema Jo:)...has a nice ring to it.
Grandaughter had an imaginary dog and would give him commands in public and fuss at him when he was bad. Had people looking all around for the "dog" she was talking to!
She would tell him that she was going to leave him at home the next time she went shopping if he didn't behave:) Hysterical!
Paula, it is best to watch the video on Facebook. Get to see the two of them fly off and hear their wings flapping (which I love to hear). Wish youtube would allow videos longer than 10 min.
Those imaginary tales are such fun!
While I am thinking about it:
tomorrow at 9 minutes and 9 seconds after nine o'clock, it will be
0909:09 on 09-09-09
so I guess that makes it:
09-09-09-09-09-09
Well, the grandson should like this one, since he is 9 years old, this is his favorite number !
xo ☺
don't see any new info on Koo from FINNEY'S nest...today is supposed to be the day I think vets will look at him.
Discovery to Undock Today
Tue, 08 Sep 2009 02:11:33 PM UTC-0100
Today's wakeup song was "Beautiful Day" by U2, played for Tim Kopra at 11 a.m. EDT.
Space shuttle Discovery's crew undocks from the International Space Station at 3:26 p.m. and performs a fly around at 3:55 p.m. to capture photographs and video of the station. NASA Television will air a post-Mission Management Team news briefing at 5:30 p.m. and a Mission Status Briefing at 9 p.m.
HEDGIE---Thanks for checking for the obit---She lived alone--we finally --talked w/nephew---She died Sat & needed to get into her lock box for instructions----
Coming around to the thrill of the landing pretty soon... thanks for the schedule posts, Helen.
Wanda meant to tell you, I loved your sign off the other night with the "Candy Corn Wishes" for all..
I'm headed out for the rest of the afternoon, headed up to Morgan County.
TTFN Good Afternoon and soon-to be afternoon for the West Coasters...
xo
Norma - reference your early morning comment: I'd adopt you, but I think there would be a long line in front of me ! Mayabe you should just adopt me instead!
xo ♥
Oboy, Fred's package has arrived in Naples this morning, he will probably get it Wednesday...
on 09-09-09...maybe it will be lucky after all. !
xo
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEVIN!!----I bet your MOM had you when she was 12!!
ho!---WISHING you many more!!!
Helen I see you are sending me some computer help!
Thanks, I will check it all out a little later on....
xoxo
MARGY---I sent up an EAGLE prayer that your package would arrive!!---& look how much fun you have had 'worrying' that it would get there on time!!
Happy Birthday Kevin!!!!
I could do that MARGY!---When should I start the paper work? ho!
MORNIN' PAULA---Will this be your 1st REUNION since your graduated?--Have fun!!
Norma, have kept checking funeral homes web sites....nothing yet. Who is the nephew? Ex used to work w/ Wilton "Hock" Hockensmith from down Bolivar area. Sure all related one way or another.
thanks for all the BD wishes for Kev, just called him at 1:32 p.m. the time he was born....told him hope Ben comes around 3 in the a.m. so we can call him too:)
food time---
Sissy, read about your copper......so glad you saw it before anything bad happened. BTW...it is not at all unusual for them to seek structures at night---the warmth draws them. Always the most dangerous time---never sit on porches, benches near buildings, etc. in the dark w/o checking closely!
LOL, Mits....I always ask Christie is she wants me to call her at 2:38 AM on her birthday....for some reason, she always says NO, Mom!
I am almost out the door - I really am hoping to get back in time to view the shuttle activity. Pray all goes well.
That is cool to call your son at his birth time. I'll need to look my 5 up and start that - I always make b-day calls first thing in the morning.
Will check in upon my return...
LOL, I will never get up at 3:03 am nor 6:13 am to call my kids on their birthdays....I'm sleeping!
Norma - this is the second reunion I've been too...looks to be a lot of fun!
Good Afternoon Eagle Fans! (NOT phila.)
Arrival at Park this AM was a chirpy osprey greeting!! Couldn't see them, but later saw 2 flying overhead. Later one landed w/fish on a tree branch that I could view from a window!!!!! Got it's pic--so dark, almost a silhouette. Got one outside that showed it to be a juvie!!!!Good Boy/Girl!LOTS of goldfinches at sunflower seeds and a couple hummers. Of course, cute little chipmunk is zipping around! So migration hasn't hit everyone.
Hey Paula. I've got reunion, too. Isn't Gold for 30 yrs?????
BTW, Koo gets X-ray tomorrow-9th. That poor little thing~~~~sure it doesn't like being cooped up. Hope it can get adapted.
Deb, how exciting about golden eagles. Must have been hp at Dollywood!!
