Cool! Thanks, Steve:) Margy, September moon is the harvest moon:) Just realized in December we will have a blue moon- two full moons in one month. Busy watering, booking field trips, and gearing up for a wedding on Saturday.
Megan, do you make arrangements for weddings or are you attending a wedding? If you are doing the arrangements...would you take photos and share with us?
Hmmm, I wonder if I dare ask for admittance to NCTC to watch Nu or ? climb the tree. Please STEVE..REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEST AND USE WINDEX ON THE SMUDGE ON THE CAM:)
I have a question: Do the pink flamingo yard ornaments have some sort of significance? I am seeing them more and more throughout Martinsburg. They used to be considered TRAILER TRASH, but they are appearing on the lawns of some well-to-do families?? Anyone know?
Sharon, think my computer eyes were too tired--I must have read Charlotte as October....duh!!!! Conrats....you will make the year mark for sure....and then go on forever!!
Judie, I had to chuckle at the thought of you hugging a 7ft ball player...my Dustin is now 6'3" and has to bend down to hug me, so I can imagine the difficulty in hugging a 7 footer:):)
Jo, our tomatoes are very scarce this year. Probably because they don't like me tending to them instead of Gene. We have had enough for our use, but not enough for sharing or canning. Our garden is just too shady. Need to cut a lot of trees down. We have evergreens all around the house and their needles are EVERYWHERE! When we sit on the deck to eat, needles get in our fool and drinks. They get tracked into the house even though we wipe our feet and take our shoes off. The price that is charged for cutting down a tree is WAAAY TOO MUCH. $600 just to fall it. We probably have 10 trees that need to come down. Can't handle those prices.
WOO HOO ! Thanks for the fresh pm thread and especially thank you for alerting us to the Cam Maintenance. Be sure to take the WINDEX up to clean the smudge on the lens! Thanks again
Wanda - I hope there isn't a connection with her stopping the smoking and then discovering the thyroid condition. I was surprised when pulmonary Dr told me last visit that my CT looked better then the previous CT. I always hold my breath until he views the film - I'm like a kid waiting for a test score!
I know it is September now But it really isn't autumn yet. The evening is so cool and great for sitting out on the deck ! Need to make a cup of coffee and go do that.
Pink Flamingo yard ornaments -- our neighbors tried that some years ago and were told it is considered inappropriate -- just because people have money it doesn't mean they have good taste.
Yep, basketball players are big fans of mine because I go to their home games and cheer them on with great vigor.
No tomatoes or other veggies this year, no canning for winter, critters ate up everything. No illegal in VA to feed deer because of over population.
Needles in your food and drinks -- try serving G&Ts and you won't care.
No clue about thyroid and quittng smoking. Maybe Lynn will know something.
Jo, again so happy your CT report was improvement. I know that is a great relief.
Megan, looking forward to pictures of the wedding flowers.
Deb, hope the head is feeling better now.
Wanda, be sure to let us know if you get near the nest.
Dana, hi to you and Ed. How's he doing these days?
Well, fading fast. Too much excitement after a hug from the basketball player. By the way, one of my former students is now pro with the Dallas Mavericks.
OOh... Wanda, I really would want the branches, but not anytime soon, so unless you're gonna wait until the 2nd week in Nov. I couldn't use them... but I would love to have hemlock to work with, so let me know if you decide to wait.
OK...It's a GO for tomorrow morning! I have a dentist appointment at 2pm, but I should be able to go both places. Does anyone else have to pay $110 for a cleaning? Seems like an awful lot for a 15 minute job. That's $440 and hour!
Well Wanda - You could have Megan trim out all the lower branches for you!
I'll let you know in Oct what my cleaning bill is.... or I think hubby is going mid Sept. That is really high! But then look what they charge for root canals and crowns..
Megan, if you saw my video of me freeing WANDAGENE, the butterfly, those are the hemlocks that I am talking about. Yes, I would have to wait til after Halloween to have the money to cut them down. Check out the video and see if the trees are what you can use. On Just For Fun, I think.
Megan - had to look up Blue Moon.... every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon.
Oh yes, Wanda, I could definitely use that hemlock. We will start gathering greens around the 10th of November. And I would pay you back with a gorgeous wreath for your door.
Well, I have survived. Gina and Gus just left. She stayed, did not get Gus and leave, so we invited her to eat. Wish I could have taken a picture of Gina for you all to see. She is tall and weighs 105. It is horrible. I do feel sorry for her but there is nothing I can do for her, but care for Gus occasionally. It is all just an ugly mess. Ok, enough of that. Going to put it out of my mind.
Going to have the carpet cleaned tomorrow. Yea! But, other than that nothing planned. I will probably dig in the dirt. Good for the soul!! LOL
It will be grand to have the cam cleaned tomorrow. If I lived close, I would go with you Wanda. Tell them you are the official photograper there to document the cam cleaning.
OOOh... it's like Christmas in September... hemlock is so nice in a wreath. I don't have any on my property, so it would be great to have some. Thanks, Wanda:)
Lynn sounds like the wren told you off. Sorry for the lost of a neighbor.
Margy hugs to you for trying so hard to make your brothers birthday so nice. Sorry about your family friend. You are so right he was so very very accomplished person. You send things that are so appreciated. Yet it seems you should be the one receiving (((((((((many many big hugs))))))))
Lolly kids always remember who was nice to them as they grow older.
Sharon I know you can make that a year of not smoking ( :
Thats what I think too, Paula. They just need to not keep everything inside. They are pulling together as a family, I am so glad to see that. Tragedy sometimes does the opposite.
I try, Paula. Gina cried and she wanted to talk about her situation, but I certainly did not encourage it. I said nothing, asked no questions, and would direct the conversation to something else. I just can not get involved!
Deb, sorry about the migraine today. Michael used to have them while in college. Still gets them, but definitely not as often. He used to give himself shots. Not sure what med he has now. Laurel had her first and only one recently. Sure hope it does not happen again. She said she can now sympathize with her brother.
I used to get them a lot, but not much anymore. When they start in the night is when I get in trouble. If I catch it before it gets ahold, I can control them.
My son has trouble with them from time to time...he has to take something as soon as they start...and if they get too bad, he just has to go to sleep. He at least can take ibuprofen or aspirin...not on anything stronger.
Paula, she is dealing with the joint custody, but certainly does not like going for seven days without even talking to him on the phone, She is getting no support, no child support. She has some money in the bank but no income. She can not go on disability as she is still married. She said, so I guess eventually Gus will visit me under a bridge. It is a hopeless situation.
Evening Everyone! Really pooped for no real reason----maybe being on 'puter most of the day! Tomorrow I get to go to the "arts & crafts" job! Wanda, you def should go to tree and take pics. If the camera is off, we won't be able to see Nu!!!! ☺ Had a thought---for Oct. Open House---if we do dinner and if we post pics of the MIA's, we should ask Chrissy among others for a pic-also Geula--think they are the furthest away. Learned a new Park osprey fact today from Greg---was a 60% loss in prospective osprey chicks there this year. Some reasons---eggs did not hatch(cool weather may have been a factor), mortality, predation.These are just the nests he monitors. But when you think this is even before migration, that's pretty low.
Oh, Loretta! I enjoyed so very much sitting and visiting with you last year! I will certainly miss that his year. I do hope you can get Chrissy and Guela to joing Deb and myself in bottles. LOL
Lolly, you sweet thang....hope you fed Gina something high in calories! Wanda, better take a bullhorn with you tomorrow to holler at Nu about the lens cleaning!! Guess Deb is okay w/ Facebook but I haven't been able to get on it all day....don't know what is going on.
I would think each parent would be allowed to talk on the phone with Gus when he is with the other parent. Maybe they could discuss that? Or is that hopeless, too. It seems like they should be thinking about Gus.
Brrr ... it was really cold this am. Don't know the actual temp but sure it was in the low 50s. It was a beautiful day, though, and hubby was able to get some outside painting done.
Is Finney site offline? I wasn't able to get on tonight. The water site is still on but not sure if it's live. Didn't stay around to find out.
All the talk about autumn leaves and the temps this week make me wonder if I should get out the sweatshirts and flannels? This is my favorite time of year and next month we'll celebrate 45 years ... and we didn't kill each other! We married as youngsters. ;o)
In our local newspaper tonight was a short article about whale watching on video. If anyone is interested the site is www.whalewatchingtv.com
Going to finish reading the newspapers. I'm still finishing Sunday and Monday. Today's Tuesday, right?
HOpe everyone has a good night and a blessed Wednesday.
Well, I know only what she tells me. They are still married, and she has some money that she took from their bank account. Do not know how much. He has a good job and his parents are wealthy. She has no parents to speak of.
Good evening everybody. Went for my walk and then to the meeting. Had a strange feller following me and turning around and such on the road. Made me nervous but he finally went away.
I will take the Tiramisu again for sure and anybody that wants it eaten in honor of them. That is some good stuff.
Hi, Diann. I posted this AM that it was 37 in Bedford, PA!! If this continues, it WILL be time for sweats and flannels, for sure. Love the smells and appearance of fall, but not the coolness and not the work involved with the leaves....argh!
There was a pic of Chrissy in her Eaglet Momsters' album. Not sure if she took the album off or not. Also had an ablum from Geula. I'll see what I can find.
No, Paula, she moved out and took a lot of stuff, ran up charge cards and emptied the back account. He claims he would take her back. He says she needs help, she drank while over dosing on pain medication. Claimed she was an unfit mother as she stayed in bed all day, doped out.
She claims he was abusive.
He is handsome, intelligent, and can talk a smooth talk. First impression of him is very good. However, I do know he has a fighter pilot personality. I do know for a fact that he taught Gus to swim at age two by throwing him in a pool.
Gina on the other hand has a poor back ground, no family to support her, her physical condition is horrible, she looks anorexic, and is on pain meds.
Oh, it is a BIG mess, both claiming the other is lying.
Lolly, don't understand why Gina doesn't get some kind of support (legally) from her husband, and then alimony after divorce, if she has no income and he's well-off!
Oh, they are still married to each other! Thought she was married to someone else, and they were still fighting over Gus. Sounds like a mess for sure.
If she doesn't want to go back, then she should get a lawyer and get divorced and ask for alimony. If she doesn't get any, then she'll have to apply for assistance or disability. She needs to make some decisions as to what she wants. Then she can move forward.
Lolly, your friend can apply for social security disability even if she's not of retirement age. I did. I was able to apply online and then take birth certificate and ss card to the local office. They will do this part by mail and return the certificates, etc. It did take 3 months for me to get the approval and it could take longer. Even being on SS disability you can work at some jobs. There's a schedule of benefit vs. salary at the social security.gov site and it has a lot of info.
Hopefully your friend will apply; she has nothing to lose.
Oh, Lolly---so sad about that broken family, especially for Gus. You have been so kind to watch him, but you're right in trying not to get involved--only bring you down. We will miss you and Deb this year, too. It's so great to "know" we have all these friends here, even if we don't get to see everyone. ☺ ☺ ☺ I do recall that when Chrissy got on blog a few times last year, we could click on her name and access pictures she had of her and her home. I've been checking Fin cams and "Ferry" site is still not working and daylight was just starting at Finneys. MT nest.
Yes, Paula, it is a huge mess. The lawyer says it is going to take years to settle the divorce. They own a house in Virginia as well as the $400,000. house here.
She is on her second lawyer. The lawyer she had a few weeks ago dumped her. My son says that he problably dumped her for non payment. But, Michael knew her lawyer and did not like him, said he was no good. She now has a new lawyer.
I am anxiously awaiting the return of Jay Leno! Can't wait to see his new show! Don't like Conan or Dave at all, I've had to find something else to watch at 11:30.
Ed see's Pulmonary doctor tomorrow afternoon. They called and set this date up. In reference to maybe a new medication to slow down the disease in his lungs. We will see tomorrow and I'll let you all know.
Checking in really quickly to say goodnight. Wanted to finish typing up my Pharmacology notes, but SIL stopped by for a bit, so I'm doing it now.
WANDA, if the smudge on the cam is a dead spider inside the cam housing, they'll need at least a screwdriver to open it up and get it out. THEN they'll need the Windex! (Seems like I remember someone explaining it that way a long time ago.)
Jo and Lynn, thank you for the Autumn Leaves videos--both played just fine for me, with no stops. Love that song!
Gosh, I really need to read back and catch up, but will have to do it in the morning. Prayers for all of us, and prayers that we all can get a really restful night's sleep tonight. Prayers of thanksgiving too. G'night, and God bless! :o]
Don't remember Doreen! Well, news almost over and my cursor is doing funny things...logging off beofr esomething bad happens. Peace and prayers for all.
Good night all. Can barely keep my eyes open. Still have reading to do but will have to wait until tomorrow. Prayers for those in need/want. Peaceful dreams.

Good morning Norma! Such a cheerful greeting this morning, as always! I love the fall too but it seems like the whole summer as been fall-like! The weekend is supposed to be absolutely glorious!! Zero percent chance of rain at the lake! We are going down tomorrow and not coming home till Monday!! Last blast of summer!
GOOD MORNING NORMA AND SISSY... It is 45° here and just too cold for September! Not ready for these temps, yet! It is going to be a wonderful 78° later in the day, and that is just about perfect for me:)
Oh, the drivers license thing...it is one of the most fearful and wonderful times in the life of a parent! My Dustin will be driving next year. I don't think he is grown-up enough yet...not very responsible. Of course, a lot can change in a year, but, I still think 18 is a better, safer age for driving. JMHO
Norma, I am certainly going to try to fit a NCTC visit in this morning, if the timing is right. So special to see a MAN standing in our nest! I am going to take a TREE PULLER AND MY WINDEX, just in case the workers forget theirs;)
LOLLY--You are such a kind person & are always there to listen & help!!---That is what most people need----just someone to listen & not judge---take care & just keep sharing your recipes----YOU & JACK ARE TOPS!!!!
MEMA JO!---I noticed that you were looking for a book to read---May I suggest--THE READER---best I have read in a long time---It's in paper back now!!---happy reading--
I have study group this am--but it doesn't start until 10:00--much better than W/CTR---Where is MARGY---Is she working this am---She is so cool---how does she keep her schedule straight---
MORNIN' SHARON!!---Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!!----WVU plays LIBERTY --SAT--(don't think we have played them before)--- Been reading RODRIZUG has been accused of too early practices before the season!---POOR COACH!!---May he still have many more problems at MICHIGAN!!
Morning Momsters and Dadsters. Another chilly one here in the eastern panhandle! 48 when I got up. Had to have a bowl of cream of wheat to warm up, AND turned on electric blanket in the early hours! As Margy says...WOOF! Norma, Margy is off today (as of 6am), so hoping she is sleeping soundly, as she didn't get much sleep yesterday! Wanda, have cam up......wonder what they consider mid-morning?!
Norma, I am so thankful that my oldest gd is not yet interested in driving! She turned 15 in June, so could have gotten her learners', but she isn't bothered, and I am glad! JMHO, but I don't think kids that age are mature enough yet to drive....we were much more mature at that age!
YES Norma that is the address he has plus he is also at the Medical Campus now. At the Amhert Street Office in with Murphy is also Dr. Childress. He is the one that was covering for Dr. Murphy when Murphy order a CT Scan and Ed had the Blood Clots in Lungs. Dr. Childress called us at home said "Get Back Here Now To Be Hospitalized". He is also a very very nice doctor.
Norma, Sharon and other big WVU fans.....Rodriquez is also being sued in federal court for failure to repay a multimillion $ loan for a VA condominium project!!!! Pox upon thee, coach!

Judie
Cool! Thanks, Steve:)
Margy, September moon is the harvest moon:)
Just realized in December we will have a blue moon- two full moons in one month.
Busy watering, booking field trips, and gearing up for a wedding on Saturday.
Megan, do you make arrangements for weddings or are you attending a wedding? If you are doing the arrangements...would you take photos and share with us?
Hmmm, I wonder if I dare ask for admittance to NCTC to watch Nu or ? climb the tree. Please STEVE..REMEMBER TO REMOVE THE TREE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEST AND USE WINDEX ON THE SMUDGE ON THE CAM:)
I have a question: Do the pink flamingo yard ornaments have some sort of significance? I am seeing them more and more throughout Martinsburg. They used to be considered TRAILER TRASH, but they are appearing on the lawns of some well-to-do families?? Anyone know?
Judie, I can see it now! Mutt and Jeff!! He must think you're real special...just as we do!
Sharon, think my computer eyes were too tired--I must have read Charlotte as October....duh!!!!
Conrats....you will make the year mark for sure....and then go on forever!!
Judie, I had to chuckle at the thought of you hugging a 7ft ball player...my Dustin is now 6'3" and has to bend down to hug me, so I can imagine the difficulty in hugging a 7 footer:):)
Jo, our tomatoes are very scarce this year. Probably because they don't like me tending to them instead of Gene. We have had enough for our use, but not enough for sharing or canning. Our garden is just too shady. Need to cut a lot of trees down. We have evergreens all around the house and their needles are EVERYWHERE!
When we sit on the deck to eat, needles get in our fool and drinks. They get tracked into the house even though we wipe our feet and take our shoes off.
The price that is charged for cutting down a tree is WAAAY TOO MUCH. $600 just to fall it. We probably have 10 trees that need to come down. Can't handle those prices.
My Denise is 2 years smoke-free and is now battling Thyroid--Hashimotos(sp)disease. Never had a thyroid problem til she quit smoking....connection???
HELLOOOO...I guess everyone is out to supper. Oh well.
WOO HOO ! Thanks for the fresh pm thread and especially thank you for alerting us to the Cam Maintenance. Be sure to take the WINDEX
up to clean the smudge on the lens! Thanks again
Wanda - I hope there isn't a connection with her stopping the smoking and then discovering the thyroid condition.
I was surprised when pulmonary Dr told me last visit that my CT looked better then the previous CT. I always hold my breath until he views the film - I'm like a kid waiting for a test score!
Wanda, get a tree estiamte from Paul Rankin. He's much more reasonable!!! You can use my name!
I know it is September now But it really isn't autumn yet. The evening is so cool and great for sitting out on the deck ! Need to make a cup of coffee and go do that.
Harvest Moon in September and
Autumn Leaves
Paul, Jr. 754-9590
I hope that link works - it just might start and stop like some of them do.........
Diego is all alone & moving around somewhat.
Dualing Leaves, Jo.....very nice, but I think this one is so plaintive and emotional! Always one of my fav singers!
Autumn Leaves, too
It did stop, Mema and mine does , too! Darn it!
Wanda, I'm providing the flowers for the wedding, and yes, I hope to have pictures to share:)
hello and good night....had a great day. ttut...prayers for all.
Lynn, thanks for Paul's number. I will ask Gene to give him a call. I am at my witts end with these pine (hemlock) needles.
Jo, do you think I will be able to gain entrance at the gate tomorrow or should I stay away?
Megan, anxious to see the photos. I love wedding flowers:)
G'nite, Mits, Ceil, Mary Margaret and Jim!!! Bet the sea air will make for really good sleeping!!!
Nite, Helen, Jim & Ceil and MM:)
Hi, everyone. I have been home today, migraine and the after effects. I am feeling good now though.
Good Evening everyone.
Haven't been in all day. Doing too many other things, then the great grocery run...yuck.
Need to catch up on comments.
Oh yes, Lynn that version of Autumn Leaves is much much better. At the time I could only find piano solos!
Wanda GO FOR IT
If I were free in the morning I would go with you!
Good night OC crew ! Beautiful moon reflecting on the ocean, I bet!
Deb - good evening. I was thinking you were at work and that you would get a supper hour. Sure hope the headache
is completely gone!
Love all your new pics!
Yes, Jo, it is all gone. Just feel a little drained yet.
Glad you liked the pictures.
HEY WANDA! Are you gonna cut down evergreens? Is one a hemlock? Evergreens make mighty good wreaths...
Lynn - I have been able to play without any interruptions the 2 Autumn Leaves songs..
Wanda, GO FOR IT!!! The worst that can happen is they tell you No.....don't forget the camera!!!! Say Hi to Nu!
You're lucky, Jo...tried both agqain w/ same result!
Poor Deb....sorry you had a miserable day. Hope you're 100% by morning. Gotta check your pics.
Megan, they are all hemlocks...I will let you know if and when we cut them down. You can have ALL that you want:)
Pink Flamingo yard ornaments -- our neighbors tried that some years ago and were told it is considered inappropriate -- just because people have money it doesn't mean they have good taste.
Yep, basketball players are big fans of mine because I go to their home games and cheer them on with great vigor.
No tomatoes or other veggies this year, no canning for winter, critters ate up everything. No illegal in VA to feed deer because of over population.

Jo, again so happy your CT report was improvement. I know that is a great relief.

Deb, hope the head is feeling better now.
Wanda, be sure to let us know if you get near the nest.
Dana, hi to you and Ed. How's he doing these days?
Well, fading fast. Too much excitement after a hug from the basketball player. By the way, one of my former students is now pro with the Dallas Mavericks.
Will check back to turn on the night light.
Judie
OOh... Wanda, I really would want the branches, but not anytime soon, so unless you're gonna wait until the 2nd week in Nov. I couldn't use them... but I would love to have hemlock to work with, so let me know if you decide to wait.
OK...It's a GO for tomorrow morning! I have a dentist appointment at 2pm, but I should be able to go both places.
Does anyone else have to pay $110 for a cleaning? Seems like an awful lot for a 15 minute job. That's $440 and hour!
I know of nothing worthwhile watching on TV this evening. I best pick up a good book!
Nice, Deb.....very nice! Janie looks very tired....hope she gets to rest up and recoup....how are her injuries?
Well Wanda - You could have Megan trim out all the lower branches for you!
I'll let you know in Oct what my cleaning bill is.... or I think hubby is going mid Sept. That is really high! But then look what they charge for root canals and crowns..
Megan, if you saw my video of me freeing WANDAGENE, the butterfly, those are the hemlocks that I am talking about. Yes, I would have to wait til after Halloween to have the money to cut them down.
Check out the video and see if the trees are what you can use. On Just For Fun, I think.
Megan - had to look up Blue Moon....
every two or three years (on average about every 2.7154 years) there is an extra full moon. The extra moon is called a "blue moon.
That's another good song, Lynn!!!
Video is on JUST FOR FUN...scroll way down to older posts.
Big Brothers is on...
Oh yes, Wanda, I could definitely use that hemlock. We will start gathering greens around the 10th of November. And I would pay you back with a gorgeous wreath for your door.
Well, I have survived. Gina and Gus just left. She stayed, did not get Gus and leave, so we invited her to eat. Wish I could have taken a picture of Gina for you all to see. She is tall and weighs 105. It is horrible. I do feel sorry for her but there is nothing I can do for her, but care for Gus occasionally. It is all just an ugly mess. Ok, enough of that. Going to put it out of my mind.
Going to have the carpet cleaned tomorrow. Yea! But, other than that nothing planned. I will probably dig in the dirt. Good for the soul!! LOL
Sounds like a plan to me, Megan!
It will be grand to have the cam cleaned tomorrow. If I lived close, I would go with you Wanda. Tell them you are the official photograper there to document the cam cleaning.
OOOh... it's like Christmas in September... hemlock is so nice in a wreath. I don't have any on my property, so it would be great to have some. Thanks, Wanda:)
Oh, how cool! Thanks so much for the heads up Steve. I'll do my best to tape some of it.
I have been chatting with my cousin on facebook. She is struggling so over the loss of her son. I am glad I can listen and maybe help in a little way.
Lynn sounds like the wren told you off.
Sorry for the lost of a neighbor.
Margy hugs to you for trying so hard
to make your brothers birthday so nice.
Sorry about your family friend. You are
so right he was so very very accomplished
person.
You send things that are so appreciated.
Yet it seems you should be the one
receiving (((((((((many many big hugs))))))))
Lolly kids always remember who was nice
to them as they grow older.
Sharon I know you can make that a year of not smoking ( :
Still trying to catch up.
Deb - glad you are feeling better. I have to check out your pics. I'm sure it's very hard for your cousin. Listening sometimes is the most we can do.
Dana - hope Ed is feeling OK and your eye is improving.
Lolly - just focus on the fun you have with little Gus.
Thats what I think too, Paula. They just need to not keep everything inside. They are pulling together as a family, I am so glad to see that. Tragedy sometimes does the opposite.
I try, Paula. Gina cried and she wanted to talk about her situation, but I certainly did not encourage it. I said nothing, asked no questions, and would direct the conversation to something else. I just can not get involved!

Laurel had her first and only one recently. Sure hope it does not happen again. She said she can now sympathize with her brother.
That is a tough situation, Lolly. I think you are doing fine with giving all you attention to Gus!
I keep hitting enter and wonder why my comments don't post, duh.
Oh, I understand that, Lolly. Is she having trouble with the joint custody?
I used to get them a lot, but not much anymore. When they start in the night is when I get in trouble. If I catch it before it gets ahold, I can control them.
Laurel had hers at night. Was up throwing up.
My son has trouble with them from time to time...he has to take something as soon as they start...and if they get too bad, he just has to go to sleep. He at least can take ibuprofen or aspirin...not on anything stronger.
Paula, she is dealing with the joint custody, but certainly does not like going for seven days without even talking to him on the phone, She is getting no support, no child support. She has some money in the bank but no income. She can not go on disability as she is still married. She said, so I guess eventually Gus will visit me under a bridge. It is a hopeless situation.
Evening Everyone! Really pooped for no real reason----maybe being on 'puter most of the day! Tomorrow I get to go to the "arts & crafts" job!
Wanda, you def should go to tree and take pics. If the camera is off, we won't be able to see Nu!!!! ☺
Had a thought---for Oct. Open House---if we do dinner and if we post pics of the MIA's, we should ask Chrissy among others for a pic-also Geula--think they are the furthest away.
Learned a new Park osprey fact today from Greg---was a 60% loss in prospective osprey chicks there this year. Some reasons---eggs did not hatch(cool weather may have been a factor), mortality, predation.These are just the nests he monitors. But when you think this is even before migration, that's pretty low.
Oh, Loretta! I enjoyed so very much sitting and visiting with you last year! I will certainly miss that his year. I do hope you can get Chrissy and Guela to joing Deb and myself in bottles. LOL
And I want a fine wine bottle...forget the beer bottle!
Lolly, you sweet thang....hope you fed Gina something high in calories!
Wanda, better take a bullhorn with you tomorrow to holler at Nu about the lens cleaning!!
Guess Deb is okay w/ Facebook but I haven't been able to get on it all day....don't know what is going on.
I would think each parent would be allowed to talk on the phone with Gus when he is with the other parent. Maybe they could discuss that? Or is that hopeless, too. It seems like they should be thinking about Gus.
Actually sounds like she should get a job, even something part time.
They way my year has gone, stick me in a Margarita glass!!
It is really cooling down here, will be a nice night for sleeping with the windows open.
I agree with Paula, can you imagine how confused Gus must be?/
Night everyone, going to read for awhile.
Ok, wine and margarita's are noted :)
Good evening everyone. Blessings around.
Brrr ... it was really cold this am. Don't know the actual temp but sure it was in the low 50s. It was a beautiful day, though, and hubby was able to get some outside painting done.
Is Finney site offline? I wasn't able to get on tonight. The water site is still on but not sure if it's live. Didn't stay around to find out.
All the talk about autumn leaves and the temps this week make me wonder if I should get out the sweatshirts and flannels? This is my favorite time of year and next month we'll celebrate 45 years ... and we didn't kill each other! We married as youngsters. ;o)
In our local newspaper tonight was a short article about whale watching on video. If anyone is interested the site is
www.whalewatchingtv.com
Going to finish reading the newspapers. I'm still finishing Sunday and Monday. Today's Tuesday, right?
HOpe everyone has a good night and a blessed Wednesday.
Lolly, if Gina is TRULY disabled by Social Security standards, it doesn't matter if she is married or not.
Oh, I am so ready to sleep with windows open, but it just has to cool down a wee bit more for that.
Yes, she should work, but physically can not. And, no one is going to hire anybody that looks the way she does. She looks like she is on drugs!
Well, I know only what she tells me. They are still married, and she has some money that she took from their bank account. Do not know how much. He has a good job and his parents are wealthy. She has no parents to speak of.
Not very favorable odds, Loretta.
I have Chrissy's photo for her bottle!!!!
I agree with Hedgie, if she is truly disabled, it doesn't matter if she is married....disability does take awhile to go through, tho.
Aha, so she is not living with current hubby?
Good evening everybody. Went for my walk and then to the meeting. Had a strange feller following me and turning around and such on the road. Made me nervous but he finally went away.
I will take the Tiramisu again for sure and anybody that wants it eaten in honor of them. That is some good stuff.
Wooohhhhoo about the cam work tomorrow.
And you all have been a chatty crew this evening!
Well, I want to see a picture of Chrissy!
Ah, that tiramisu was good, wasn't it.
Me too Lolly but I don't think she has ever sent us one before.
Hi, Diann. I posted this AM that it was 37 in Bedford, PA!! If this continues, it WILL be time for sweats and flannels, for sure. Love the smells and appearance of fall, but not the coolness and not the work involved with the leaves....argh!
Diann - it is only 5:13 am at Finney
Still on line but was probably dark when you looked.
There was a pic of Chrissy in her Eaglet Momsters' album. Not sure if she took the album off or not. Also had an ablum from Geula.
I'll see what I can find.
No, Paula, she moved out and took a lot of stuff, ran up charge cards and emptied the back account. He claims he would take her back. He says she needs help, she drank while over dosing on pain medication. Claimed she was an unfit mother as she stayed in bed all day, doped out.
She claims he was abusive.
He is handsome, intelligent, and can talk a smooth talk. First impression of him is very good. However, I do know he has a fighter pilot personality. I do know for a fact that he taught Gus to swim at age two by throwing him in a pool.
Gina on the other hand has a poor back ground, no family to support her, her physical condition is horrible, she looks anorexic, and is on pain meds.
Oh, it is a BIG mess, both claiming the other is lying.
Safe Haven for Donkeys Album - Geula
Lolly, don't understand why Gina doesn't get some kind of support (legally) from her husband, and then alimony after divorce, if she has no income and he's well-off!
Lolly the is always the Womens Center in every town. She can go there and they will help her with a lot of things.
Not good for Gus to hear her saying those kind of things.
I know she is hurting in her own way.
A sad situation all around.
Deb, maybe you should just sleep instead of reading tonight, dear friend.
BTW---Wanda...never heard of any correlation between Hashimoto's and quitting smoking.
No alimony in Texas!
Yes, I did not like her crying today. Gus, said "Mommy, don't cry." Poor little guy. I think both are saying things in front of him.
Back to say goodnight to everyone.
Tuckered out from my first day back in the classroom.
Sleep well and pleasant dreams.
Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others.
Judie
Oh, they are still married to each other! Thought she was married to someone else, and they were still fighting over Gus. Sounds like a mess for sure.
If she doesn't want to go back, then she should get a lawyer and get divorced and ask for alimony. If she doesn't get any, then she'll have to apply for assistance or disability. She needs to make some decisions as to what she wants. Then she can move forward.
Sharon....sending you an email in a minute.
OK, so no alimony. Definitely not good to be talking about that stuff or saying bad things about other spouse in front of Gus.
At least my ex and I had the decency not to do that sort of thing.
Lolly, your friend can apply for social security disability even if she's not of retirement age. I did. I was able to apply online and then take birth certificate and ss card to the local office. They will do this part by mail and return the certificates, etc. It did take 3 months for me to get the approval and it could take longer. Even being on SS disability you can work at some jobs. There's a schedule of benefit vs. salary at the social security.gov site and it has a lot of info.
Hopefully your friend will apply; she has nothing to lose.
Do not have pic of Chrissy anywhere.
Maybe on Photobucket - not sure.
I'm sure she'll email one to whomever is in charge of the Bottle Buddies!
Oh, that is funny! I have the PA cam up. Never saw or heard the automatic feed dispenser. Startled me!
Oh, Lolly---so sad about that broken family, especially for Gus. You have been so kind to watch him, but you're right in trying not to get involved--only bring you down.
We will miss you and Deb this year, too. It's so great to "know" we have all these friends here, even if we don't get to see everyone. ☺ ☺ ☺
I do recall that when Chrissy got on blog a few times last year, we could click on her name and access pictures she had of her and her home.
I've been checking Fin cams and "Ferry" site is still not working and daylight was just starting at Finneys. MT nest.
Yes, Paula, it is a huge mess. The lawyer says it is going to take years to settle the divorce. They own a house in Virginia as well as the $400,000. house here.
She is on her second lawyer. The lawyer she had a few weeks ago dumped her. My son says that he problably dumped her for non payment. But, Michael knew her lawyer and did not like him, said he was no good. She now has a new lawyer.
Well, Lolly, it sounds like you are blessing for little Gus. I hope you can continue to see him...sounds like he needs it!
You know, some people can be so self-centered and self-absorbed that they can't see what they are doing to their children. So sad!
Goodnight, Judie! sweet dreams....and not of the bb player!!
I am anxiously awaiting the return of Jay Leno! Can't wait to see his new show! Don't like Conan or Dave at all, I've had to find something else to watch at 11:30.
Nite, Lynn! Sweet dreams!
Can't find pic of Chrissy
Photobucket has good one of Geula & her pigs.
I know I've seen pic of Chrissy in an album - her cats were in it and I think horses and a grandchild..
I don't think it was on a personal blog Loretta. Just have to email her for one.
Jo, said earlier that I have a pic of Chrissy!!!
Whoops! Thought you were leaving Lynn. LOL It was Judie who hit the sack not you.
Nite Judie!
I don't think it is time for LYNN
to go to bed yet, Lolly! lol
Post a picture of Chrissy, Lynn. I would love to see a picture of her.
Just about a year ago, Chrissy had her photo as her Avatar, for a while. She is attractive. That was when she was an active talker on here:)
Those raccoons are mean!
Ed see's Pulmonary doctor tomorrow afternoon. They called and set this date up. In reference to maybe a new medication to slow down the disease in his lungs. We will see tomorrow and I'll let you all know.
I missed your comment Lynn.......
Don't know where I was at 10:03 tonight! Maybe my head was in a bottle!
I got on here in April of last year. Chrissy was not on often at that time.
Oh, no, Jo! Your not hitting the bottle, are you?
I hope they can find something that helps, Dana.
Don't think Chrissy has any grands, and Matt isn't married yet.
Ok, will put her pic on my blog. Give me a few...
Will have to tell Chrissy we were talking about her tonight.
Hitting the hay, catch ya'll in the am.
Hugs to all ♥
Okay, pic on my Lair. She said it wasn't very good and that she's heavier than she likes to be, but it was the most recent she had.
Time for news, so I will sign off (maybe ☺)
Pleasant Feather Dreams!!! ;>)
Yepper That is Chrissy!
It may have been Doreen from over the pond a few seasons past that had the show horses and also had a granddaughter.
Yeah, Doreen was another one that just disappeared from us!
Good night and sweet eagle dreams, my friends of fine feathers and fur!
Ok Paula and Loretta..... I'm following
Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's needs & a prayer for a good report for Ed...
((hugs)) ♥
Keep in touch Wanda if you journey over to the tree. Take your binoculars and cam in case you have to watch from the road........
Space walk happening right now!
Whoops Sharon! Almost bumped right into you! BTW - you getting packed up? Talk to you tomorrow. loL ♥
Hi, everyone,
Checking in really quickly to say goodnight. Wanted to finish typing up my Pharmacology notes, but SIL stopped by for a bit, so I'm doing it now.
WANDA, if the smudge on the cam is a dead spider inside the cam housing, they'll need at least a screwdriver to open it up and get it out. THEN they'll need the Windex! (Seems like I remember someone explaining it that way a long time ago.)
Jo and Lynn, thank you for the Autumn Leaves videos--both played just fine for me, with no stops.
Love that song!
Gosh, I really need to read back and catch up, but will have to do it in the morning. Prayers for all of us, and prayers that we all can get a really restful night's sleep tonight. Prayers of thanksgiving too. G'night, and God bless! :o]
Night everyone
Thinking of all of you
Pleasant dreams and good nights sleep
Prayers for those that need them
Praises for answered prayers
Special one for little Gus.
Had to leave for a sec. Laurel called.
OMG I have finally met Chrissy! She is not what I had imagined. Isn't that funny! I will have to email her tomorrow.
Lynn, thanks for posting that. Cool!
Just heard on the news...our moon is orange tonight....ash in the air from California.
Don't remember Doreen!
Well, news almost over and my cursor is doing funny things...logging off beofr esomething bad happens. Peace and prayers for all.
Road trip needed! We need to schedule a trip across the pond!
Nite all!
Sweet dreams!
Good night all. Can barely keep my eyes open. Still have reading to do but will have to wait until tomorrow.
Prayers for those in need/want.
Peaceful dreams.
Good morning everyone! We have an eagle in our nest!!

GOOD MORNING NORMA AND SISSY...
It is 45° here and just too cold for September! Not ready for these temps, yet! It is going to be a wonderful 78° later in the day, and that is just about perfect for me:)
Good morning Wanda! I agree, don't like these chilly mornings. It just doesn't seem like it should be time for this yet!!
DEB!---Thinking of you & your horrible headaches---I still remember when my mother had them---
sending good wishes!
WHOA! WANDA---Best go to NCTC before dentist---May not be able to talk after you get out of his office!!---ho!---
Oh, the drivers license thing...it is one of the most fearful and wonderful times in the life of a parent! My Dustin will be driving next year. I don't think he is grown-up enough yet...not very responsible. Of course, a lot can change in a year, but, I still think 18 is a better, safer age for driving. JMHO
Norma, I am certainly going to try to fit a NCTC visit in this morning, if the timing is right. So special to see a MAN standing in our nest! I am going to take a TREE PULLER AND MY WINDEX, just in case the workers forget theirs;)
Going to get dressed and ready to run down the road when the workers show up. BBL
LOLLY--You are such a kind person & are always there to listen & help!!---That is what most people need----just someone to listen & not judge---take care & just keep sharing your recipes----YOU & JACK ARE TOPS!!!!
WHOA!---WANDA---I think it would be wonderful to see a MAN standing in our nest---anytime!---ho!---
MEGAN---If you have a min---when do the hummers here go south?---
Norma, I usually have hummers until around the end of September, first of October!
MEMA JO!---I noticed that you were looking for a book to read---May I suggest--THE READER---best I have read in a long time---It's in paper back now!!---happy reading--
Thanks SISSY---I thought that was when ours leave---but they are literally draining the feeders!--Hope they stay--I can watch them from my desk----
Good Early Morning In Eagleland Sissy, Norma and Wanda.
Maybe the hummers know something we don't about the weather.
Norma contraagulations on granddaughter pasting her drivers test. That is always an exciting time in ones life.
Sissy hope the days are clear and beautiful for your last summer blast.
MORNIN' DANA!!---What time is ED'S appt?---will be sending prayers!!----(hope you aren't freezing in the 'cool' weather)---ho!
Appt. in Winchester 1:45pm Norma. It is 45° here.
DANA--What is Dr's last name---I bet it where my Dr is?
I have study group this am--but it doesn't start until 10:00--much better than W/CTR---Where is MARGY---Is she working this am---She is so cool---how does she keep her schedule straight---
Sorry Norma I was putting eye drops in. Ed's dr's name Dr.Murphy ..Pulmonary.
Good morning Normabyrd. How are you on this fine morning?
Sure do wish I was in S-town to supervise the climb!
DANA---Most sure it is the same office---1400 Amherst St---My Dr is WOLFE---GOOD DRS -- One usually has to wait----w/be thinking of you----cool--
MORNIN' SHARON!!---Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!!!----WVU plays LIBERTY --SAT--(don't think we have played them before)---
Been reading RODRIZUG has been accused of too early practices before the season!---POOR COACH!!---May he still have many more problems at MICHIGAN!!
GOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEERS!!!
I STILL HAVEN'T SEEN A MAN IN THE NEST YET!---ho!---later--must get dressed-----
Morning Momsters and Dadsters. Another chilly one here in the eastern panhandle! 48 when I got up. Had to have a bowl of cream of wheat to warm up, AND turned on electric blanket in the early hours! As Margy says...WOOF!
Norma, Margy is off today (as of 6am), so hoping she is sleeping soundly, as she didn't get much sleep yesterday!
Wanda, have cam up......wonder what they consider mid-morning?!
Norma, I am so thankful that my oldest gd is not yet interested in driving! She turned 15 in June, so could have gotten her learners', but she isn't bothered, and I am glad! JMHO, but I don't think kids that age are mature enough yet to drive....we were much more mature at that age!
Morning, all.
Hoping to catch the show this morning!
Lynn, thanks for the pic of Chrissy. Very pretty lady!
And good morning, Norma! You always brighten our day!
Good Eagle Morning Sharon, Lynn and Paula.
YES Norma that is the address he has plus he is also at the Medical Campus now. At the Amhert Street Office in with Murphy is also Dr. Childress. He is the one that was covering for Dr. Murphy when Murphy order a CT Scan and Ed had the Blood Clots in Lungs. Dr. Childress called us at home said "Get Back Here Now To Be Hospitalized". He is also a very very nice doctor.
Good morning, everyone. I am waiting for the show to start, I wonder what time mid-morning is at NCTC.
Deb, I was just thinking the same exact thing. I think now is mid-morning myself!
That's what I think, Sharon, but who knows if they are on government time. maybe the tree truck got delayed, too.
Something moved in the tree, right near the trunk
There they come!!
Norma, Sharon and other big WVU fans.....Rodriquez is also being sued in federal court for failure to repay a multimillion $ loan for a VA condominium project!!!! Pox upon thee, coach!
TREE ALERT! I SEE MOVEMENT!
I thought I saw that too, Deb. A stick or two moved
I saw a rope get tossed up.
Just saw the rope go across!
It was the rope! it was just pulled back again
rope just got pulled off
good morning everyone....watching nest..
Can ya'll hear anything
Theres the rope again
Where is Jo?
I don't see anything, Deb!
this is exciting? Wonder if the eagles are watching?? Has there been any sightings of Hidey in the vecinity these last few weeks?
Or hear anything, either....
Gabriela - we have seen the adults, but no sign of Hidey...
Tightening up the rope
movement again. I guess Hidey has moved on! Hope she's thriving!!
I love having a laptop, you can go to the loo and still not miss anything!
The sticks move every once in a while, Lynn. They are probably just getting set up.
Morning all:)
Turned my sound down...cam feed has loud hum here this morning.
