HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORMA!!! HOPE IT'S THE BEST EVER!
Margy, prayers for your sister in Massachusetts, and for you and the rest of your family! Hope there's a speedy and successful surgery!
More prayers for little Reese, and for Dana & Ed. Has anyone heard from them yet? Getting pretty concerned.
Was up early again this morning; didn't sleep well at all last night. Forced myself to go back to sleep after Hubby went to work. Doing much better now as a result.
Absolutely delighted to see that Chrissy was on the blog! Hi, Chrissy! Hope you are having a fabulous day, in spite of a pile of ironing, and dreary weather! ((Hugs))
What a bummer that our cam has a case of the blues today! Hope someone is working to fix it.
Well, I have homework to finish, and lots of Anatomy studying to do. Another test tonight--so please say some prayers for me!
Will check back later this afternoon to see how things are going. Have a fantastic red-shirt Friday, and I'll talk to you later. :o]
WHOA EAGLE BUDDIES!---I got dressed & went to WCTR & worked out for about 2 & 1/2 hrs---Feel good now!---JO--Did you not read what my birthday gift was??--- DAVIN WENT BACK TO HER CLASSROOM TODAY!!---nothing better than that!ho!
And a good West Virginia Afternoon, and California Morning to you Andrea -
Prayers that the studies and testing goes well.
No real good new news on my sister yet...thanks for the prayers...now the doctors seem to be questioning their original opinions. Oh Great...That will be fine, as long as things are better rather than worse. Hope to know more in a few hours.
Oh--before I forget, thanks, Sharon, for Eggplant & Caviar! Love the song, and Kate Beckinsale is one of my favorites. Her movie, 'Serendipity' has always been on my favorites list!
Thanks, Norma & Margy, for the encouragement and prayers. They mean a lot! Still more prayers for your sister, Margy, and hopes that you'll hear some good news very soon! Think I'll follow Chrissy's lead, and tank up on coffee while studying. Gotta go hit the books. Later!
Norma, since it's your BIRTHDAY, you ARE allowed a panda nap!! Andy, know you will do well on test tonight! Bet you are really getting excited about kids coming. Margy, praying that diagnosis is an upgrade when you hear.
Yuck---article about blood-sucking animals shows a yellow-billed oxpecker on an African cape buffalos' nostril; says that known for picking off ticks, they have now discovered that the birds are drilling into wounds opened by insects and eating fresh blood.
Ha! Starlings here again---hundreds! Now have to dodge acorns and poop shoots! Looks like it's getting ready to rain again, too---hope this one reaches Megan!
right now in Bethesda.... Currently At 3:42PM[ More ] 86°F RealFeel® 86°F Winds: SW at 9mph Sunny Humidity: 42% Dew Point: 61° F Pressure: 29.75 in Visibility: 10 Miles
I'm back - alive and I took 3 shots!!! Did get my seasonal flu shot !!! Now I don't need to stand in line at CVS next week or even wait for a phone call from primary care physician. The other 2 were the steroid shots - fast acting and long lasting! Since I only have 2 arms, my left one should become touchy! I am going to up my prednisone for a week and then go back on the 20th for recheck. They are giving me the best of care!!
I guess the reason I thought the groundhog was a mystery animal, is that I have never seen such a dark tail as the one on the night cam....Old Clunker Eyes, mine.
Got some more work done outside. But sure glad I've got help coming tomorrow. Never has gone over 76 here. Light sprinkle that maybe lasted 5 minutes, and intermittant sun since.
I go back to work Monday for 12 hours too....holiday, what holiday...schools are out, some places.
Okay, Paula...remember we wanted to see some pictures of the masterpiece.
Lynn - - you'd best not be working too hard !!
Confirmed, ruptured appendix for my sister - surgery maybe tonight or Saturday...she seems to be doing well though....Prayers, no doubt, have been helping ♥
Thanks Judie...she and I are like twins, 6 years apart... Her name is Jane, but she has long used her middle name as her first, and that is "Dorset." We call her "Dorset of the Hills," as she in the Berkshire Mountains in Mass.
She admits, that she should have sought more aggressive treatment, sooner.....
College kid should be home by the time I get home tonight...we are heading up to the bar where John bartends...gonna have a bite to eat and a drink or two...listen to some music...should be fun...so if you don't hear from me, you'll know I'm out having a good time.
So, Judie, you are working on Saturday...just like a teacher...works all the time...like everyone on here, including all our "retirees " !
Thanks, Paula, and all...I would be real lonely down here in WV without your all's support, and my sisters and brothers, all scattered across the country. xo
Hope Judie gets some good dinner inspiration. Margy, so glad that surgery is imminent for Dorset. Prayers continue. Paula, have fun tonight! Just remember you have to travel tomorrow!!!
Hey, gang...we need to start doing a LABOR dance so that Annie has Ben in the next 5 days!!! If she hasn't delivered by Weds., Mits probably won't be with us for the weekend, because she doesn't want to be away from the action!! :(
I would guess it went down because they were working on something or it just crashed. And since it's long after 5 I bet it won't be fixed anytime soon. And Monday is a holiday.
Have you ever seen this site? It is the Carolina raptor center, they have several bald eagles on cam. It has a five second refresh. Carolina raptor center
Isn't it neat? I don't even remember how I found it. They have over 100 raptors that have been rescued but can't be released, so they use them for educational purposes.
Nice, Lynn...going to check out the Raptor Center later, I am still busy doing my Labor Dance Routine...sort of...except for an occasional stop at the computer.
Grandson is going to Orangeburg SC right now, his father is showing him how to send text messages....this could be interesting....
Mits, Megan, Margy, I see the problem...There are 3 of us here at my house with the initials M W. It's always interesting when we get mail for M Webber.
She's the same way with cantoloupe---jumps right onto it and devours it! Thank goodness I have not seen a repeat of the dog poop feast this year! Yeah---she looks at me like I'm crazy when I talk to her, LOL!
My pets as a kid were always (only) dogs, toad, turtles, salamander and hamsters. Had my toad Freddie for almost 10 years, and Sally salamander for about 8---they co-existed together in the same terrarium. It was a hoot to watch them play tog-of-war with a worm!
A great big THANK YOU to Wanda and Gene for taking the room reservation money to The Clarion! They insisted on using the gas money for it! Sweet fine fowl folks!!!
Shirley, thanks....right now it is a little bit of a waiting game, until the time is right. I have Faith....and my sister has Patience...and I know WHO is really behind the decision making. ♥
I am wondering if the clock on the food-thrower might be off. Maybe the food throw was early last night, which would explain why we did not see it. That would be a simple explanation. It is really raining there!
No, well maybe, but I cannot find the remote either, but I don't think it is complicated, I am just stupid. It has been so long since I picked it up...you can tell I don't watch a whole lot of television -
lady next door has the same arrangement, I think I will see what hers looks like....tomorrow sometime...I'm kind of on telephone watch tonight.
Lynn - after reading about your hooking up your new television last year, I KNOW you could help me. Probably all the chicks on here could walk me through it! Girl Power ☺ I just keep putting it off. You are sweet to offer....I think if I see what the neighbor's looks like I will be okay. Thank You!
Hey! The best show I saw on "TV" today was the Beatles Happy Birthday Song You-Tube! Last week I complained of no sound.....hey, now I have sound...I got it made in the shade really.
Okay, pity party over...sorry... Here is my revised look
Raccoon party at Pix, deer at Snowman, Diego home alone.
Dorset, cool name! Even more extra prayers.
Paula, enjoy. Nice way to spend Friday night.
Ah yes, Margie, Saturday work. Funny how I thought that college professors just walk in and talk a little while then leave and that's the end of it. Didn't have a clue how much work is involved. Fun but a world of preparation and grading. Shirley has an even more intense work load. Compared to her, I have it easy.
Dinner was "prepared" by Frank. Chinese take out-carry in. Yummy. He's a good cook.
As for Annie, have he do some sweeping movements as in sweeping floors or sidewalks or something. Great labor inducer.
Well, I don't always get it on the first try, but I hook up all the computer stuff around here, hubby is clueless. But, he always ends up hooking up the cable box and tv stuff.
Judie, I don't know about having the most intense work load. I remember how many times you have described creating crime scenes, etc.
It is sometimes frustrating when people assume teachers are working only when they are standing before the class talking. Some people don't appreciate how much work it takes to prepare what you say, not to mention grading papers and doing all of the other things.
I gained plenty of respect for elementary teachers when I subbed in a sixth grade class.
I called the furniture place today and left a message. No call-back. I will try again tomorrow.
I did have to set up another doctor's appointment, so I took care of that. Managed to get appointments with two different doctors on Tuesday, which means less time I have to miss from work. Usually I can't schedule things like that. I have to see a gastroenterologist and an orthopedic surgeon.
I had a hard time deciding on the orthopedic surgeon. I had seen one some years ago, but I was not sure I really wanted to see him again, so I called Kathryn about the one she saw when she broke her leg, and remembered I really liked him, so I got an appointment with Kathryn's doctor.
My digestive issues have continued and my arm hurts. They say I have a spur on my shoulder. Sometimes it is really painful.
Gastro-intestinal, sorry to hear about THAT Shirley, in light of my sister's woes...and of course the shoulder...just don't dare say that you will not be in Shepherdstown next week-end, please?
Well, I FINALLY found the daggone remote, (but no instructions for the converter box) - thanks to some prayers to Saint Anthony of course... not far from the safe place where I put it when I got it...just BEHIND the basket. Lovely thing about digging around looking for things, one finds all one's "precious possessions" and they become a source of dismay, also, much of it all covered in dust. Geeze ! But no set up tonight, can't manage anything else, might find something on a common channel, or retreat to the pillows with something to read. Sure wish I had hooked up the new reading light I got 6 weeks ago for the bedroom !!
Shirley, shoulder issues can be really painful.....one of the worst things I ever had was bursitis in the shoulder---thank goodness for cortisone injections! Definitely get expert opinion, but if they say surgery, get a 2nd opinion!!
Diann has gone through a shoulder operation though I cannot exactly remember all the detail of it. Hope she can communicate with us again soon. Thinking of you PA Nana ! xo
And, of course, the OTHER issue, Shirley, is probably more urgent from a diagnostic standpoint if not from pain! Praying that all is well, and Margy is right......put stuff off if possible until after next weekend.....spending time with us might just heal you!!!
Go Twins....Deb will be happy if they pull this one out, won't she? Margy, get the instruction book off the web!!
When I went to the primary care doctor--I guess it was last week--and told them about the aches and pains, they told me to get x-rays and blood work, then they gave me a flu shot. Then I got the blood work. After all of that, I could not tell what was causing the pain--the shoulder or the needles in my arm, but that should not still be the problem.
Well, my poor sister fell leaving the ballgame tonight and is in the ER with a messed up knee. Not sure the extent of the injury but will let you all know. Please pray for her!
Sissy fell - WOW! Keep us posted Sharon as you find out what is going on. Even if she is on crutches Tom would be driving them in for the weekend. Sissy was going down to DC zoo on Sunday to see her PANDA BEARS. Prayers that knee isn't messed up badly.
Oh, no, Sissy got hurt again????? No way! Well thank goodness Tom is coming, too, so she won't have to drive! We might just have to put her to bed in the Eagle Express with ice and elevation!! Praying that it's NOT serious!! Keep us posted, Shar.
Good grief, Shirley. Please get better and make sure you get second opinions before making any decisions. Next weekend will be a big "feel better" event for you.
Margie, congratulations on finding the remote. Solved that problem here by watching t.v. upstairs while Frank watches downstairs. Lost remote = his problem not mine.
Just to make sure I don't leave the light on again to shine in my eyes in the morning, I am turning my light off -- I think the bright light was a beacon for the TRAIN that came through this morning. Leaving the night light on for others and will be back tomorrow.
I really hope my insurance card comes soon. We got a message that the cards were delayed because of an "internal" problem. Not sure whose internal problem it might have been, but have my suspicions. I do have a copy of the card.
Sissy has gone to x-ray now. Tom is supposed to call when they know something. Of course, if it is soft tissue damage and not bony damage, x-ray ain't going to show squat. The team doctor checked her out at the stadium and thought she should go to the ER.
Got into a fuss with an insurance company once because I took Will to the emergency room when he hurt his ankle. They said they wouldn't pay because it turned out the leg wasn't broken. So he still had a bad sprain, that needed treated, and how were we supposed to find it wasn't broken?? I kept bugging them until they paid.

Good Morning/Afternoon, Everyone!
HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NORMA!!! HOPE IT'S THE BEST EVER!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN,
NORMA.
Suzanne said she wishes
you a Happy Birthday too...
can't get through email block
either.
There are two new and very interesting blog entries at the SD Panda site and one entry at the Atlanta site.
Probably new entries at the Channel Island site too, although I haven't checked yet today.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
Thanks Andrea. Glad somebody liked it! :)
Thanks, Norma & Margy, for the encouragement and prayers. They mean a lot! Still more prayers for your sister, Margy, and hopes that you'll hear some good news very soon!
Think I'll follow Chrissy's lead, and tank up on coffee while studying. Gotta go hit the books.
Later!
Oh my goodness Norma.....
That is one blessed b-day gift!!
So happy for you and for Davin and family!
I'll still buy you desert next Sat!!!
Now I am leaving.....
BBL
Good luck at the dox, Jo...
xo
Norma, since it's your BIRTHDAY, you ARE allowed a panda nap!!
Andy, know you will do well on test tonight! Bet you are really getting excited about kids coming.
Margy, praying that diagnosis is an upgrade when you hear.
Eggplant & Caviar, who sings that??
The Who???? :)
Crows at BWO
Yuck---article about blood-sucking animals shows a yellow-billed oxpecker on an African cape buffalos' nostril; says that known for picking off ticks, they have now discovered that the birds are drilling into wounds opened by insects and eating fresh blood.

Groundhog and doves at pix
Make that 2 fat groundhogs!
I want to see the Turkeys!
And I don't mean Turkey Vultures!
Have a good evening Paula...working on the house again this week-end? And do you have Monday off ?
Hello Pals...xo
I'm back - alive and I took 3 shots!!!
Did get my seasonal flu shot !!! Now I don't need to stand in line at CVS next week or even wait for a phone call from primary care physician.
The other 2 were the steroid shots - fast acting and long lasting! Since I only have 2 arms, my left one should become touchy! I am going to up my prednisone for a week and then go back on the 20th for recheck. They are giving me the best of care!!
I guess this warm weather is what is known as Indian Summer....
I don't know where Steve is in his travels, but I did send him an email also about the Blue Screen.
And as they should, Jo...
sounds like you will be all ready for the Open House Week-end.
Wahoo ! Good Report ☺
I guess the reason I thought the groundhog was a mystery animal, is that I have never seen such a dark tail as the one on the night cam....Old Clunker Eyes, mine.
Thanks for emailing Steve, Margy.
I am headed down to Mom's in the morning for tomorrow only....going to take a day off and go to Colorfest on Sunday...
Jo, glad you are all shot up!
And no Columbus Day off for me...
Got some more work done outside. But sure glad I've got help coming tomorrow. Never has gone over 76 here. Light sprinkle that maybe lasted 5 minutes, and intermittant sun since.
I go back to work Monday for 12 hours too....holiday, what holiday...schools are out, some places.
Okay, Paula...remember we wanted to see some pictures of the masterpiece.
Lynn - - you'd best not be working too hard !!
Confirmed, ruptured appendix for my sister - surgery maybe tonight or Saturday...she seems to be doing well though....Prayers, no doubt, have been helping ♥
Christmas stamps are out now at the post office, and this year, there are Thanksgiving Stamps too ☺
Post office gets a lot of business from me
And we also reap the benefits from your post office usage! :) So, why are they waiting to get the appendix out of your sister?
Well, to put it mildly, Sharon, they have to remove some of the contents from the last few days first.....not a pretty subject.
Oh, speaking of mail, think "chipping sparrow" and Cedar Waxwing ☺
Bear is climbing the tree at Snowman !
I think Margy keeps the post office in business.
Well, maybe that is a turkey...squirrel running the clothesline...
what else is there !
just don't take anything I say seriously...I can't see...worth #@$%!!
what I saw was the dark colored birdfeeder with something on it I think, and thought it was a bear in the tree in the background :(
I could finally get Flag stamps on sheets instead of having to buy a whole roll for $44....
Stamps are like stickers for me ☺
Happy late afternoon!
Got 41 of 100 responses read and graded. Will finish the others tomorrow.
Congratulations to Davin and her students. Just hope she's willing to take life a little slower for a short time.
Something at Snowman's but I couldn't tell what it is/was.
Good luck with the test tonight, Andy. Lots of eagle prayers for strong brain power.
Eeewwww! Could have done without the Oxsucker thing.
Jo, nice to know you got your flu shot. Need to do the same, I guess.
Margie, even more eagle prayers for sister. She'll be just fine and good as you afterwards.
Now for my evening inerlude with the frig. and my quest for inspiration.
Later
Margy - glad they have it figure out with your Sis...will be thinking of her.
BWO eagle moved...to the far right side now.
Back quickly.
Margie, I thought it was a little baby bear. Looked black and not shaped like a squirrel or bird.
Thanks Judie...she and I are like twins, 6 years apart...
Her name is Jane, but she has long used her middle name as her first, and that is "Dorset." We call her "Dorset of the Hills," as she in the Berkshire Mountains in Mass.
She admits, that she should have sought more aggressive treatment, sooner.....
I'm thawing out pork chops.
College kid should be home by the time I get home tonight...we are heading up to the bar where John bartends...gonna have a bite to eat and a drink or two...listen to some music...should be fun...so if you don't hear from me, you'll know I'm out having a good time.
Catch ya'll later!
So, Judie, you are working on Saturday...just like a teacher...works all the time...like everyone on here, including all our "retirees " !
Thanks, Paula, and all...I would be real lonely down here in WV without your all's support, and my sisters and brothers, all scattered across the country.
xo
now there are vehicles at Snowman, bye bye animals
was....I guess I better get something else done besides sitting here on my duff....
food comes to mind ☺
TTFN xoxo
Tap your feet for me, Paula !
Have a Great time..sounds like it will be ☺
Hope Judie gets some good dinner inspiration.
Margy, so glad that surgery is imminent for Dorset. Prayers continue.
Paula, have fun tonight! Just remember you have to travel tomorrow!!!
Hey, gang...we need to start doing a LABOR dance so that Annie has Ben in the next 5 days!!! If she hasn't delivered by Weds., Mits probably won't be with us for the weekend, because she doesn't want to be away from the action!! :(
I can do some labor dancing....right now I a vacuuming the floors, will that count?
I might even progress to more heavy duty cleaning later on...
Please oh Please Can we get our Nest Cam back up, for Norma's birthday....this is the time the Eagles should be making a visit !
Getting ready to post Myrtle pics so had to log-in on this computer. Should be ready soon.
I would guess it went down because they were working on something or it just crashed. And since it's long after 5 I bet it won't be fixed anytime soon. And Monday is a holiday.
There are two eagles at BWO
might be back on its 7 to 10 day refresh...;)
look like bookends
They sure do, what a pretty site:)
Let's pretend it is Liberty and Belle ☺
Maybe the combination of rain sun rain sun confused the solar panels...
:(
Take a look at my Lair!
Have you ever seen this site? It is the Carolina raptor center, they have several bald eagles on cam. It has a five second refresh.
Carolina raptor center
wow cool site, Megan...that is a keeper
Myrtle is a beautiful turtle.
Lynn good pictures
Isn't it neat? I don't even remember how I found it. They have over 100 raptors that have been rescued but can't be released, so they use them for educational purposes.
Nice, Lynn...going to check out the Raptor Center later, I am still busy doing my Labor Dance Routine...sort of...except for an occasional stop at the computer.
Grandson is going to Orangeburg SC right now, his father is showing him how to send text messages....this could be interesting....
she is beautiful, Lynn
Careful Margy, we don't want you going into labor. lol....
Nice eagle site. Story underneath talks about a golden eagle that came there. It had lead poisoning and they could not save it. Such a shame.
Off to watch some baseball
I knew I wouldn't wait....what a great site...Carolinas, grandson probably drove not too far from it today already ☺ Thanks Megan...
Mits, I am offering all my labor up for Annie ☺
I was reading about their bald eagles, and a lot of them came to the center due to gunshot wounds. People can be so stupid.
well I mean Mits, Megan, both start with an "M" - got my gals confused there for a minute, just a minute!
I might hook up the cable box so I can watch the Twins tonight !
Mits, Megan, Margy, I see the problem...There are 3 of us here at my house with the initials M W. It's always interesting when we get mail for M Webber.
And then I will read more about the Eagles....
We should be able to get on-line Nature diplomas with this Blog!
Thanks---I think she's lovely, too!!
what idiot would shoot an eagle????....Annie will appreciate you helping her....Margy
poof eagles at BWO
Cool site, Megan. And they have a Liberty, too!
Megan, that is a really nice site. I was really interested to see that it is in Charlotte.
Lynn, Myrtle looks like she is intently listening to everything you are telling her.
Oh, excuse me! Good evening everyone!
Mits, how close does this IMF guy live to you?? Very scary----but sure that it was a targeted attempt.
just a mile, Lynn, I go up and down that street alot....
Turtles are naturally attracted to the color red. So I can see why she likes that tomato.
night night to the eagles at the CRC...
our 28 yr old, male sloth bear, at the zoo, loves the color red:)
rain at PIX
Aww...me and the kid just love those sloth bears.
Wanda, we are anxiously waiting to hear how things went with "THE" customer!
She's the same way with cantoloupe---jumps right onto it and devours it! Thank goodness I have not seen a repeat of the dog poop feast this year!
Yeah---she looks at me like I'm crazy when I talk to her, LOL!
My pets as a kid were always (only) dogs, toad, turtles, salamander and hamsters. Had my toad Freddie for almost 10 years, and Sally salamander for about 8---they co-existed together in the same terrarium. It was a hoot to watch them play tog-of-war with a worm!
A great big THANK YOU to Wanda and Gene for taking the room reservation money to The Clarion! They insisted on using the gas money for it! Sweet fine fowl folks!!!
Awful close, Mits, for sure.
Jeopardy time.
Feeder just went off at PIX PA, not much happening there, it has been raining amost all day
Margy, prayers for your sister.
Hope everything gets taken care of quickly.
So what, are they on Eastern Standard time already in Pennsylvania ???
or maybe that would be Central time....I am too old for this confusion.
Got advertising from The Scooter Store today in the mail, maybe that is my sign :(
Got me, I was just watching and it went off, scared the heck out of me, cause I was not expecting it.
Let me try this again:
Shirley, thanks....right now it is a little bit of a waiting game, until the time is right. I have Faith....and my sister has Patience...and I know WHO is really behind the decision making. ♥
deer and raccoon at PIX
Margy same time as us....clock right under the chat room
Thanks, Helen....I just thought that the feed toss was at 8:20, but last night it never did seem to go off
I don't know who I thought I was fooling, I don't know how to hook up the converter box. Guess I will find out how the Twins are doing, later :(
Doesn't the darn thing come with instructions, Margy?
I am wondering if the clock on the food-thrower might be off. Maybe the food throw was early last night, which would explain why we did not see it. That would be a simple explanation. It is really raining there!
The feeder timer may have been reset, or the battery may have died and guy forgot to correct the time on it when he put in new battery.
Margy, if we can get schedules to jive, I could maybe help you get the converter hooked up.
No, well maybe, but I cannot find the remote either, but I don't think it is complicated, I am just stupid.
It has been so long since I picked it up...you can tell I don't watch a whole lot of television -
lady next door has the same arrangement, I think I will see what hers looks like....tomorrow sometime...I'm kind of on telephone watch tonight.
Well, you're certainly not stupid, and that electronic stuff can be confusing to say the least.
Lynn - after reading about your hooking up your new television last year, I KNOW you could help me. Probably all the chicks on here could walk me through it! Girl Power ☺
I just keep putting it off.
You are sweet to offer....I think if I see what the neighbor's looks like I will be okay. Thank You!
Megan, the instructions might as well be in Greek, I found!!! It's almost more trail and error!!
Thanks Megan, you are kind...
I might not be techie, but I sure know what I like in the Flower Department ! ☺ ☺ ☺
Hey! The best show I saw on "TV" today was the Beatles Happy Birthday Song You-Tube! Last week I complained of no sound.....hey, now I have sound...I got it made in the shade really.
Okay, pity party over...sorry...
Here is my revised look
☺
Wow Need to read 60 to play catch up.
lol - Margy
'Made in the Shade'
Thats our M I T S !
Tiger Woods is going to play golf in the Olympics in Rio. Interesting.
Hi everyone,
Raccoon party at Pix, deer at Snowman, Diego home alone.
Dorset, cool name! Even more extra prayers.
Paula, enjoy. Nice way to spend Friday night.
Ah yes, Margie, Saturday work. Funny how I thought that college professors just walk in and talk a little while then leave and that's the end of it. Didn't have a clue how much work is involved. Fun but a world of preparation and grading. Shirley has an even more intense work load. Compared to her, I have it easy.
Dinner was "prepared" by Frank. Chinese take out-carry in. Yummy. He's a good cook.
As for Annie, have he do some sweeping movements as in sweeping floors or sidewalks or something. Great labor inducer.
Going to check out the new links. Later.
LOL, Margy...hunt for the remote....you DO need it for the set-up!!
well Annie is still working , and taking care of 2 toddlers...so hope she is not sweeping, but sleeping when she cam
Margy, I'm technically challenged....yes, Jo, MITS it is:)
Well, I don't always get it on the first try, but I hook up all the computer stuff around here, hubby is clueless. But, he always ends up hooking up the cable box and tv stuff.
Lynn, Myrtle is adorable. I think I may have to visit her again very soon.
Meagan, thank you for the Carolina raptor site. So heart-warming to know these beautiful animals are able to give so much to us.
Shirley, when will the new furniture arrive? Did you set a date?
Off to catch up on Law & Order.
Later.
Judie, I don't know about having the most intense work load. I remember how many times you have described creating crime scenes, etc.
It is sometimes frustrating when people assume teachers are working only when they are standing before the class talking. Some people don't appreciate how much work it takes to prepare what you say, not to mention grading papers and doing all of the other things.
I gained plenty of respect for elementary teachers when I subbed in a sixth grade class.
Diego is really rolling around in his sleep. Must be dreaming that some lady is coming to pick him up! lol
I'm off to watch the Medium
I'm also eating a piece of Pumpkin Pie
BBL
Twins are winning 3-1
Pumpkin pie.....well pass it over here, please.
Mmm, Jo---sounds good!!
I called the furniture place today and left a message. No call-back. I will try again tomorrow.
I did have to set up another doctor's appointment, so I took care of that. Managed to get appointments with two different doctors on Tuesday, which means less time I have to miss from work. Usually I can't schedule things like that. I have to see a gastroenterologist and an orthopedic surgeon.
I had a hard time deciding on the orthopedic surgeon. I had seen one some years ago, but I was not sure I really wanted to see him again, so I called Kathryn about the one she saw when she broke her leg, and remembered I really liked him, so I got an appointment with Kathryn's doctor.
My digestive issues have continued and my arm hurts. They say I have a spur on my shoulder. Sometimes it is really painful.
Raining again here and wind is blowing....grrr.
Commercial Time
Shirley we all need to start praying for your health! We'll get you through this cause it sounds like a top(shoulder) to bottom(foot) deal!
I hope your recliner soon gets to your living room!
Thank you, Jo. I will admit I have been a little worried. I felt better when I got the appointment lined up today.
Gastro-intestinal, sorry to hear about THAT Shirley, in light of my sister's woes...and of course the shoulder...just don't dare say that you will not be in Shepherdstown next week-end, please?
We are joined in prayers with you.
Okay Helen, what inning and is my favorite Yankees Relief pitcher pitching ???
Glad to hear of the score, though.
Honest!
I still plan to be in Shepherdstown. I would be very upset if I had to call that off.
Well, I FINALLY found the daggone remote, (but no instructions for the converter box) - thanks to some prayers to Saint Anthony of course...
not far from the safe place where I put it when I got it...just BEHIND the basket. Lovely thing about digging around looking for things, one finds all one's "precious possessions" and they become a source of dismay, also, much of it all covered in dust. Geeze !
But no set up tonight, can't manage anything else, might find something on a common channel, or retreat to the pillows with something to read. Sure wish I had hooked up the new reading light I got 6 weeks ago for the bedroom !!
Shirley, shoulder issues can be really painful.....one of the worst things I ever had was bursitis in the shoulder---thank goodness for cortisone injections!
Definitely get expert opinion, but if they say surgery, get a 2nd opinion!!
Diann has gone through a shoulder operation though I cannot exactly remember all the detail of it. Hope she can communicate with us again soon.
Thinking of you PA Nana ! xo
And, of course, the OTHER issue, Shirley, is probably more urgent from a diagnostic standpoint if not from pain!
Praying that all is well, and Margy is right......put stuff off if possible until after next weekend.....spending time with us might just heal you!!!
Go Twins....Deb will be happy if they pull this one out, won't she?
Margy, get the instruction book off the web!!
When I went to the primary care doctor--I guess it was last week--and told them about the aches and pains, they told me to get x-rays and blood work, then they gave me a flu shot. Then I got the blood work. After all of that, I could not tell what was causing the pain--the shoulder or the needles in my arm, but that should not still be the problem.
Well, my poor sister fell leaving the ballgame tonight and is in the ER with a messed up knee. Not sure the extent of the injury but will let you all know. Please pray for her!
Thanks for all of your concerns and prayers. I feel blessed.
Diann was having a replacement of a replacement - she wasn't happy having to do that. But prayers for a healthy recovery is what she needs most!
Sissy? Prayers for her, Sharon.
Twins tied 3-3 in the 10th. I left work and they were ahead, get home, tie game. :(
Speaking of shoulders, sure hope that Diann's recovery is coming along well.
Sissy fell - WOW! Keep us posted Sharon as you find out what is going on. Even if she is on crutches Tom
would be driving them in for the weekend. Sissy was going down to DC zoo on Sunday to see her PANDA BEARS.
Prayers that knee isn't messed up badly.
I wasn't sure what was going on with Diann. I knew you said she had surgery, but I miss some of the messages.
They have changed my forecast from flurries to 2" of snow tonight, I hope they are wrong!
Aw crap, Sharon, hope she is ok.
Hope to hear from Anne Marie that she is safely home!
Silver Alert is out for Dana!!!!
Oh, no, Sissy got hurt again????? No way! Well thank goodness Tom is coming, too, so she won't have to drive! We might just have to put her to bed in the Eagle Express with ice and elevation!! Praying that it's NOT serious!! Keep us posted, Shar.
Sure hope Sissy is ok and Margy's sister gets her surgery done soon.
Good grief, Shirley. Please get better and make sure you get second opinions before making any decisions. Next weekend will be a big "feel better" event for you.
Margie, congratulations on finding the remote. Solved that problem here by watching t.v. upstairs while Frank watches downstairs. Lost remote = his problem not mine.
Just to make sure I don't leave the light on again to shine in my eyes in the morning, I am turning my light off -- I think the bright light was a beacon for the TRAIN that came through this morning. Leaving the night light on for others and will be back tomorrow.
Eagle dreams for all,
Judie
Going to the 11th inning. Twins ended the Yankee inning with a double play.
I really hope my insurance card comes soon. We got a message that the cards were delayed because of an "internal" problem. Not sure whose internal problem it might have been, but have my suspicions. I do have a copy of the card.
Back to the birds---do any of you watch these barn owls at the Starr Ranch

Get your hopes up DEB
COME ON TWINS
What a cliff-hanger Deb!
Sharon, that's miserable, a messed up knee for Sissy! I am so sorry to hear this :(
We're going through some tough times here, so glad we have each others for comfort...and the circle of prayer needs widens...
Thanks for the link, Jo. I had not seen that cam before.
Margy, Megan, Jo....are you all getting any of this rain??
I was just going to holler at ya
IT IS RAINING IN MIDDELTOWN
I guess it is because I watered all my mums this evening
You wished that rain to leave Hedgesville didn't you Lynn....
I'll take it for a while.
Just don't want any of Deb's SNOW...
Bases loaded, no outs. COME ON TWINS, get some runs!
Oh yeah, I got my 15 drops here.
My Colorado brother says it snowed all day yesterday, but the ground was too warm for it to stick. There are still leaves on the trees.
More snow forecast there for tomorrow. He said he left his bike at home and drove his truck.
Only a very fine mist here in Martinsburg.
Was going to watch Criminal Minds, but realized I couldln't watch it by myself...
eyeballs are headed down to my ankles - going to watch for the Twins-Yankees final score and hit the sack...
Hope it goes your way, Deb.....
Well, that was pathetic. Three quick outs, no scoring.
I knew the trip to NY was going to be bad, Yankees win. :(
Just heard the food throw at Pix PA. Didn't get to see it!
Lots of fat raccoons at Pix PA.
Boy, those raccoons are scarfing down that food.
Sorry Deb....series isn't over yet though, don't give up yet...
Sissy has gone to x-ray now. Tom is supposed to call when they know something. Of course, if it is soft tissue damage and not bony damage, x-ray ain't going to show squat. The team doctor checked her out at the stadium and thought she should go to the ER.
Okay, let's get some good sleep and pull up our strength for what tomorrow brings...
Prayers for all our needs here, and as my late sister Kathy would say,
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ♥
Got into a fuss with an insurance company once because I took Will to the emergency room when he hurt his ankle. They said they wouldn't pay because it turned out the leg wasn't broken. So he still had a bad sprain, that needed treated, and how were we supposed to find it wasn't broken?? I kept bugging them until they paid.
Do keep us posted, Sharon.
You really have to wonder what these insurance companies are thinking sometimes!
Still doing it here.....Megan, I think you have an invisible awning over your place....boo!!!
OH, they're thinking about how to make money...that's all...
I was just furious. My ex would have had to pay the cost, but I was so mad I did not care!
