first time I've seen a buck at Pix Pa this year....weather has been really unsettled at Finland for awhile, the buck just took off and I'm headed back to bed for awhile.

Hey Splitsville

Mits said...

good morning everyone, have a good one:)

Mits said...

2 eagles on the BWO CAM:)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Morning Mits. I reckon I missed magpie! Morning anyway magpie!

Mits said...

well it is a beautiful afternoon at the Finland CAM

Mits said...

eagles poofed at BWO

Mits said...

1 eagle back at BWO

magpie said...

turkeys at Pix PA....I think...they look rather small.

Good Morning Again...

magpie said...

Eagle at BWO looks great, I don't remember that red foliage or ground cover on the cam last year....sure is pretty.

Hope eveyrone has a good day...pretty cool and overcast here. Definitly feels like fall.

magpie said...

I had totally forgotten how easy it was to get a screen grab at the Finland site, I was trying the complicated means that I had to use for Finney, cut copy paste and all that....that's one big reason I missed the picture of the day...

Haircut for me today too, just like Mema Jo....and maybe Sharon is in the pack too....guess we are trying to get ourselves bootiful for Open House Week-end.

TTFN - got some catching up to do.

raining at PIX PA

paula eagleholic said...

Morning, all!

Nice eagle at BWO

paula eagleholic said...

Gorgeous day at Finland nest!

floralgirl said...

Howdy everybody:)
Still have at least one hummer today, he's a little guy, just changed the feeders for him....

paula eagleholic said...

My hummer is long gone.

BWO eagle has some food in the nest it looks like.

paula eagleholic said...

Anyone hear from Dana lately?

Mits said...

what ever that is, has been in there for a few days, looks like a bird carcass

Mits said...

for Wanda..

A spokeswoman for the CBS reality show says no crew members were harmed by the powerful earthquake that struck the South Pacific between Samoa and American Samoa around dawn Tuesday, sending large tsunami waves ashore.

The earthquake, with a magnitude between 8.0 and 8.3, had no effect on the production of the 20th season, which the spokeswoman said was not being filmed at the time.

The 19th season was also filmed in Samoa.

Mits said...

hoodie flew in and out at Finland

Mits said...

2 eagles at BWO

Mits said...

they are squawking at something near the nest

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle pair at BWO now

Mits said...

eagles poofed at BWO

magpie said...

Well they squawked themselves right away from the nest...at BWO.

Was so turbulent overnight/early this morning (our time) at Finland I thought the cam was going to go belly up.

Article in a supplement to our newspaper this morning entitled:

"Get the House Somewhat Clean."
My kind of idea!

Paula - Dana had been on facebook over the week-end according to Jo, Jo talked to Ed, who was cheerful and excited about the Steelers game, and Norma (I think) and Dana talked by phone, I think on Saturday or Sunday....things are so-so but she is anticipating being good for at least some of the Open House week-end events....
that's all I know right now.
Not a great report, but at least there has been some contact.

Headed out...good day wishes for everyone here, and there.
☺ xo

hedgie said...

Good morning!
Cool, cloudy and breezy here. Most definitely fall....argh!
Humidity so low that dehumidifier isn't running in basement for first time in months....so cool enough down there that I turned on the gas stove last night....felt nice, especially when I got out of the tub!
Can't get Finland cam to open at all----maybe too many watching?? Margy got some good pics!

hedgie said...

Jim, glad your Drs. apptmt. went well. Yep, shingles vaccine has been around a while. Think they usually offer it only to seniors because complications can be so much more serious. And don't believe that you can't get shingles a second time! You can. And physical trauma can activate the herpes virus (chickenpox kind) so if you start getting tinmgling, burning, itching and pain at a site of an injury, it could be shingles! Sharon, my sister had a friend who got shingles in his eye and went blind! And you, Tom and the kids should go to the health department for your flu shots now!

Mema Jo said...

Good Morning All!

Go to the Still Cam

See 9-30-2009

I just got on the blog so you all may already be aware of this. I diligently check the cam praying that it is up/running

Mema Jo said...

The time is incorrect by about
19-20 mins.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

WHOOHOOOO!! Thanks Mema Jo. That is definitely a different pic from before! Of course, it was MY email that got it fixed! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

It looks like the pic is from 10:28 this morning but not updating since then. But at least they are in the process of doing something!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And they have definitely been in the nest working!

Mema Jo said...

WSell It blew my mind that it would be up/running....... maybe it getting a start but you can't go nowhere by staying at 10:28 !! :<(

Mema Jo said...

Sharon - Nest does look pretty decent.
As you said - maybe they are working on it.

BTW - WHO don't you like and for what
reason!!! ???

Mema Jo said...

Sissy - do go and get your regular flu shots at some clinic or drug store.....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, I think it is safe to assume it is not you!! You are MY MEMA JO!! :)

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

So, is the still cam working?

Mits said...

Lynn I have had shingles 4 times:(

Mema Jo said...

Not really Sissy! Just an updated shot of the nest we think.
Clock isn't ticking it off!

Mits said...

last date was 9-23, maybe it is on a 7 day refresh

Mema Jo said...

I have only had shingles once and that was enough! So much pain and it was up by my right eye! Helen were they at the same place on your body each time?

Mema Jo said...

7 Day Refresh - The time was showing about the same when it was stuck on
9-23 - Anyone remember?

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Well, at least there is some movement with the cam, doing something I reckon. Any progress is better than no progress at all.

floralgirl said...

7 day refresh...oh, that's a good one...

Mits said...

one when I was 6, on the back of ankle, rest of the time as an adult around my middle.

Mits said...

probably around the same time Jo, it was a week ago today....turn in next Wednesday for another view...lol

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hey, I say a 7-day refresh is better than no refresh! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I have been meaning and meaning to tell you all something and it kept escaping my mind so now that I am thinking of it ----

I AM GOING TO SEE TRAIN ON NOVEMBER 15???????

Mits said...

where are you taking this "train", Sharon?

Mema Jo said...

From which Train station will you be leaving ?

I bet this will be all we hear about the whole time at Open House! We may be ready to put her on a TRAIN! loL

floralgirl said...

Tram? taking a tram?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

CHOO CHOO!! I will take that Train wherever they want me to go! :)

Mema Jo said...

I hope Sharon is still reading us!

Mema Jo said...

OK CHOO HOO BABY!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Oh, I am here, Mema Jo! Not only will you get to hear about Train at Open House but I might even share some of the music with you! :)

Mema Jo said...

I need to get ready to get up the road and get my hair trim... I'll be back later
Tonight is going to be MEATBALL night!

paula eagleholic said...

Hmm, guess we will have to wait and see...tis a new pic to look at, at least.

Mits said...

PASADENA, Texas — Authorities say a Houston-area woman who was burned up at her former common-law husband fried their pet goldfish and ate some of them.

Pasadena police say it's a civil matter and no charges will be filed. The seven goldfish were purchased together by the couple during happier times.

Police spokesman Vance Mitchell says the man reported on Saturday that the woman took the goldfish from his apartment.

Mitchell says the two argued earlier about some jewelry the man had given her but took back. She wanted the jewelry returned.

Officers who were dispatched to the woman's home arrived to find four fried goldfish on a plate. The woman said she already ate the other three.


Don't you just love a woman's revenge:):):)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

OMG and it made the news! :)

Mits said...

yeah weird....crazy people

Mits said...

wonder if she made tarter sauce to go with them

paula eagleholic said...

FAT groundhog at Pix.

Prettiest blue sky and clouds at BWO

hedgie said...

7 day refresh?? That's not saying much!
Oh, Mits...once was enough for me---hope I never get them again!
Seems to me that stealing the fish would be a crime even if frying them isn't! Yuck.

Costume Lady said...

SHINGLES...I keep forgettint to ask the Dr. about that shot and the pneumonia shot. Must put that on my to-do list! I had two chiggar bites a few weeks ago and thought I was coming down with shingles. Those little buggers sure do ITCH!

Shop is ready to go, except for vacuuming up that last batch of stink bugs, which died from the bombs that Gene set off. Happy to be done and getting started in the morning. Had my first sale yesterday. A gentleman came in just to take a peek and left with a whole outfit for his daughter, accessories and all:)
Going to GeeGee's now. BBL

Oh, Jo, how did you like "The Good Wife"?

movin said...

Wow, just as I gave up opening the still camera.............

The hammock is back at the Atlanta Panda site too. Maybe we'll see some rasslin between Lun Lun and Xi Lan.

There's a Yellow billed Stork fishing at Pete's in the middle of the night there. For some reason they ignored the beautiful red mask on the stork when they named it.


C(°Ù¿°)D

Jim

hedgie said...

Shhhhhh....haven't seen a stink bug in 2 days! And none inside in 4 days, I think it's been!!! Stopped letting dog go out through upstairs door---near corner where they were congregating---and made her go out through basement; blocked off outside steps so she couldn't come up to deck...so far, so good!!!

paula eagleholic said...

groundhoggie is back at pix

Good afternoon!

Hi Jim, I saw that shingles vaccine notice yesterday at my doctor's office and thought I should ask about it. The teacher across the hall from me had shingles this summer. Still has red splotches on his face.

I did get the regular flu shot, too. They give it for $10.00 at school, but I am hoping insurance covers it--cost $30.00 at doctor's. Did not want to wait. Thought I should take the first opportunity offered.

Happy to see that you have a good report, Jim.

I have some symptoms that are causing me concern--the reason for the doctor visit yesterday. Will be heading out for some blood work this afternoon.

My insurance plan changes tomorrow. Do not have new card. Complicates the process of making appointments. Finally got necessary info., but cannot get temporary card from computer until tomorrow because plan does not become effective until then.

Anyone ever hear of Lumenos HSA from Anthem? I hope it will be a good plan.

It has been a trying morning with calling the insurance company, human resources, and doctor's offices. I did get to listen to an argument between my insurance company and a woman at Social Security. Made me giggle (silently). I really hope the Social Security woman isn't representative of what I am going to have to deal with. I think the poor woman was senile.

Sorry I wasn't able to get on last night. I went for some x-rays and then spent time putting together lesson plans for a sub. I have missed more time than usual this fall, and, because I have moved around so much at the school, do not have all of the usual stuff I resort to for sub plans--books and movies and the like.

I've scanned over some of the messages, but please pardon me if I am a bit in the dark--I haven't read everything.

It is a beautiful fall day! I am going to try to enjoy it a bit.

Cool News - Jefferson County Deputy has won $200,000 in WV Powerball Lottery, will take home $137,000. He had been shot during a domestic dispute/standoff a year or so ago, has since recovered pretty much, fully. He is also an active Firefighter with one of the Jefferson Co fire departments.

Maybe we can interest him in Friends of NCTC ...

magpie said...

Very sleepy here, getting a haircut wore me out. ☺
Nap time, back later.

Nice Going, Wanda - congratulations on the costume sale, and the completion of the making-ready of the shop ♥

TTFN xo

hedgie said...

Shirley, sure hope that your tests all come back okay. Prayers for nothing serious!
Will check out your new insurance plan--see if it's available in WV. I will be choosing a new Medigap plan before the end of the year....argh! What a mell of a hess it all is.

hedgie said...

That was a great windfall for Fletch, wasn't it, Margy?!

paula eagleholic said...

Good luck with your tests, Shirley. Changing plans is a PIA.

Lolly said...

Hi all! Had a doctor's appointment this morning, a follow up to lab reports. All is great! Great reports! Dr Carol, just looked at me and said, "How are you loosing all this weight?" Told her not loosing now, just maintaining. Yea!

Laurel is sounding better. Both boys are still running fevers, but are not worse and are eating and drinking. She told me that she spent time during the night just sitting on the foot of Jacob's bed. She was so concerned and wanted to be sure he was breathing! Having a hard time telling her to relax and accept the fact she is not going to school until Monday. Oh, and Joey is now coming down with it. Dr. Carol gave me a prescription for Tamiflu.....just in case.

Going to the funeral in an hour and then we are going to get the trailer. Prayers that we do not get sick!

Shirley, thinking of you and hoping all your tests come back with good results.

Funny...asked Dr. Carol today about the shingles shot. Her office does not give it. She told me of two pharmacies that do. Need to check, one as the one pharmacy told us Medicare would not cover it. It is a very expensive shot.

hedgie said...

Congrats on your first sale of the season, Wanda!! My kids never had a bought costume when they were little. I sewed gypsy and indian costumes, and sometimes just dressed them as hoboes. That was all I ever was as a kid, except for one party in Jr. Hi when I was Martha Washington---homemade, also!

hedgie said...

Lolly, so sorry kids are still down. But Laurel DOES need to relax in order to get better!
Hard to believe that Medicare wouldn't cover shingles vacc----may be worth a call to them to verify that info. If not, try the health department---probably reduced cost there.
Read the articles about Jack's friend---just a shame...such a waste.

hedgie said...

Glsd your check-up went well, too, Lolly. Dr. was IMPRESSED, huh??

Lolly said...

Hi Lynn! Yes, Carol is impressed. Yea! She is going to Weight Watchers herself. She never pressured me to loose weight, but encouraged healthful eating. She is a nurse practitioner and I love her! My cholesterol is better as well as my blood pressure. Wahoo!

Okay, need to go change close to head out. Oh, I hate this! Going to be a very emotional afternoon.

BBL

Glad you read the article, Lynn.

floralgirl said...

There is a -cam's back up- new thread!

Mema Jo said...

I have returned and already had my 3:00 cup of coffee with a late lunch sandwich. Soon I am off to pick up MUMS at Alexis' school and the pick up Alexis herself to take to Gymnastics out here at Middletown school.
Then it will be MEATBALL time with Pap's spaghetti!

SHIRLEY You are in my thoughts
I know what apprehension you go through until medical test results are back! Prayers for you good health!

Wands I did enjoy The Good Wife. I like her as an actress. Going to be interesting to see how things unfold in weeks to come as far as the hubby.

Mema Jo said...

I hope Anne Marie is having a very good time at Williamsburg and then down the coast line. Maybe she will get on her and let us know how they are doing.

BBL Son is here to visit
and then I will be doing my pick ups!

Mema Jo said...

HOLY HANNAH !

GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY !

CHECK OUT THE STILL CAM !

WHOO HOO !

hedgie said...

Still cam seems to be on time and refreshing......keeping fingers crossed!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

NEW THREAD IS UP, as reported earlire by Megan!

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Morning/Afternoon, Everyone!
Slept in today, and it felt GOOD.
Can't talk for long; have a Pharmacology exam tonight, and gotta study, as usual. Hope they get at least the still cam working soon! Looks like they're trying.
Good to see you back here, Shirley!
Hope everything goes OK with the Dr.!
Prayers for your health! Interesting talk about Shingles vaccine--I've got a story about that, but will tell later. Too long. Weather here is awesome so far today! Hope you all have a good one, and I'll be back much later tonight. Take care! :o]
