Just wanted to say hello to everyone this morning. I am at home right now, but about to get ready to go to work. No students today, and I am fighting a cold, so I have been working from home, but need to go in for awhile to get some things.
Good TGIF morning! Shirley, feel better! Norma, I left a long explanation about Suz yesterday for you, and Wanda, one about Meredith last night! Hope you find them! Heard from Suz this am----she has a meeting Monday and is exploring possibilities....her company says they can place all of them somewhere. She is looking forward to watching 60 Minutes sunday night for the first time in ages!!
Thought I was going to be blowing leaves today, but so far Mother Nature is working against me---wind is blowing and it has been drizzling off and on...hopefully sun will come out this afternoon and I'll be able to get on it!
HEDGIE---I thought I had read everything on yesterday's blog--but must have missed quite a bit!-----Wanted to tell you--my daughter was married on the beach in JAMAICA---sooo---I tried the goat meat---tasty!!---
Good morning all! Got the WOW pic from Suz and then saw the pics from earlier from Margy of the am visit.
Friday already again - I know those who are working look forward to the end of the workweek - like I said about retirees that it is sometimes hard to keep our days straight LOL
I am officially at Cedar Lakes, Ripley WV! There is no place like WV. Sorry I didn't report here earlier (Mits - love you!). (*mema jo i love you ~mattie*)
Norma, I asked Shannon if the goat meat tasted like chicken....ha, ha....definitely NOT!! He offered a taste, but Christie and I both refused! She didn't eat all of her chicken and I had some cocoa bread left----and walked off and left the doggie box on the table! Can you believe it?? Was kicking myself when I got home.
Hey, Shar---glad you made it! Is Mattie with you, too?? How is she feeling?
Speaking of dumb....forgot to tell you all that I heard a police call earlier this week....some guy actually called the police because his yard had been TP'ed!! Can you believe it? Gee....wonder if they got fingerprints?? Duh.
Post from eaglehandler on CHIL forum..she works at the National Eagle Center
I put Harriet on the eaglecam today.
For your info, Harriet will be on the Today Show, Fri morning Nov 6. Jeff Corwin is promoting a book and he invited Harriet to join him when he's on the show.
Harriet has been on the Today show with Jeff Corwin before in 2007 when he was promoting his Into Alaska program.
Lynn, last time we ate out I left the "doggie box". Made me sooo mad! That was supposed to be my lunch the next day!
Wanda, see that you got your answers to your questions about Meredith on Grey's. Hope today is a GREAT day for you in the shop.
We have SUN this morning. Wahoo! It is presently 54...sunny and chilly.
Going to Denton tomorrow. Going to a soccer game, going to watch TCU on TV up there, taking lasagne for our supper, and then handing out candy while Laurel takes the boys trick or treating. We do not get children here. So we go up there and have fun!
Break time... Lynn, I did read your message about Meredith's organ donation. Thanks, I've been wondering. Leaving your doggie bag is not nearly as bad as leaving your purse, which I did. One night at the China City, I just walked off and left it on the floor. Got home and realized what I had done...went back and it was still on the floor where I left it. Miracle! STOOPID!!
I have an incident to tell you about....would like your input.
Joseph is on a soccer team with Hispanics. No problem with that. His coach is Hispanic as well. He is not a great coach, but he is kind to the boys. His son is on the team as well. At the last couple of games two of the fathers have taken over. Continuously yelling and coaching from the sideline.....all in Spanish. The coach just let them take over rather than confront them. The coach yells in English, but seldom coaches from the sideline. Well, yesterday Laurel took Joseph to practice. No one showed up except the coach and his son. He spent the time coaching those two boys and Joseph loved it. The coach pull Laurel aside saying he needed to talk to her. Joseph knows nothing of this. It seems the two fathers have really taken over and were holding a practice somewhere else, leaving out Joseph and the coaches son. Laurel was stunned and did not know what to say. When she got home she told Joey she was going to call the soccer commissioner. She was furious! Joey said no, he is going to confront those two fathers Saturday at the game. He can be very intimidating at 6' 6" and close to 300 lbs. Joey speaks some Spanish's and he is going to tell them no more coaching in Spanish and that what they have done is completely wrong, specially for the boys. Really do not know all that he plans to say, but Saturday should be interesting.
Wow, Lolly.....wrong, wrong, wrong. And very unfair! Feel that Joey, while intimidating, may not get a good reaction to a confrontation. I'm with Laurel----go to the commission. Those fathers need someone who is in charge to address the whole thing.
Wanda, thank goodness your pocketbook was safe! Thankfully, I've never done that. Yep, Lolly, it was going to be my lunch! Drat.
Yes, I think it should be taken to the commissioner. And, on top of being totally wrong, it was also reverse discrimination. So glad Joseph has no idea of what is going on. Interesting thing is Danny, the coaches son, and Joseph are the two best players. ?????????
Lolly I say go to the commission with the coach and explain the situation & file a complaint - something in writing. Hopefully Joey and the coach's son could be placed on another team to finish out the season while this is being handled. I hate it when adults take away from the games for kids.
If the other fathers form a rogue league, who can they play against? Certainly not a sanctioned team. Really teaching their kids great sportsmanship, aren't they?
Oh, yes. And something just caught her attention and she grew in height. lol And, I love the way that sometimes it looks like she is looking right at the camera.
It is not fair to Danny or Joseph to go to an established team. And, it just messes up the whole schedule to dismiss the team. They should be barred from games. Period!
Keep thinking I should go out and TRY to move leaves....but so dreary...and the wind is stiff...and now looks like more rain coming......argh!! Best laid plans of mice and Lynn!! Maybe it's a good day to just sleep!!
Finished icing cup cakes.Devil food with orange flavored icing. Candy is ready for trick or treaters. We get almost two hundred. The school over the next block has a party on the football field and the kids come and then they come to the neighborhood. Good time. We sit out front and see all the costumes. Love it.
Your cupcakes sounds yummy, Ceil!! Have been here for 17 years and never had a single T or T'er. Lolly, glad your back is feeling better. Those crazy muscle relaxants make me groggy for 24 hrs. after taking just one---don't know how you are functioning! Hi, Jim. Keeping our fingers crossed for Suz for sure!
Wish we would get trick or treaters, but the houses are just too far apart. Houses are on 1 to 4 acres and ours is back from the road. When the kids were little they would go to the church for a party, then trick or treat just to a few houses. Now we just turn off all lights, lock up, and go to Laurels. Oh and I bring in my scarecrow and pumpkin. Looks like Scrooge lives here!!!!
I don't put out pumpkins or mums any more They have a game called pitch the pumpkin and it is not the kids but the drunk adults. I have a large window that I decorate. Lynn it has a lighted spider in it and my basement window that the little ones can see easily.
Just went out and collected about 24 pecans. They are almost all gone now. Funny story...Jack has the pecans in mesh bags hanging from the rafters of his shop. He noticed a hole in the bottom of one bag and thought it had just rotted. They he found another bag with a hole...mmmmmm. So last night he set a live animal trap thinking he would get a rat. Nothing! Well, he left for a while this morning. I was standing at the back door looking out and there was a squirrel standing on his hind legs, with his front paws on the garage door of the shop. Looked like he was knocking on the door, saying let me in. He thought he had found his pecan heaven! Now the door has to stay shut when Jack is not there.
Good afternoon - still very bleak looking here but no rain yet. Remember tomorrow to go to SD zoo page:
Beginning Saturday, October 31, through Tuesday, November 3, you’ll see the final five names, and you’ll get to vote once for your favorite name. We will have the Chinese characters, the name in pinyin, and, of course, the English translation.
Aha clever squirrel... Keep him out of our pecans. Just picked a deer tick off my leg-luckily he was moving, and hadn't bitten me. Now of course I am paranoid there might be more on me.....
They are always around, waiting.... lol....it hasn't been cold enough yet for them to be gone. Funny, cause I have been outside all day, but when I got home I put on my crocs and walked out to the woods, and that is probably when the bugger got on me- was crawling up my leg under my jeans..gotta go look again...
Yep, takes a hard freeze before the ticks are gone......and they come back early---late winter!! Megan, you were lucky to see it. Ceil, glad I don't get to see your display!! Sorry :(
Hi everyone. Just checking in on this dreary day. PT went pretty good today. Not much more pain when I left. I also have a bit more range of motion - yipee! The hard work is paying off.
Of course I missed any visits to the nest since Wednesday, but, hey, I'll catch them again - guaranteed!
When do they start "dating" seriously and when can I expect them to start another brood? I'm really looking forward to it. Must go for now.
I've been playing hookey from the blog today--have been studying hard for tonight's Anatomy test. It should be a tough one. Got signed up for next semester last night. Will have Formatting on Mon. & Wed., 6-10 pm, and Practice I on Tues. & Thurs., 6-10 pm. Second quarter, the Formatting class changes to Research Skills. So I will have school on Mon. thru Thurs. nights. That ought to keep me out of trouble! LOL
Diann, glad that PT went well today. Do you get a break for the weekend? Except for what you must do yourself at home, that is! Belle and Lib are already doing a lot of nestoration work, and quibbling about it, as usual!
So, Diann, the sweet spooning will probably start in another month or so, with hanky panky commencing in the early part of January----correct me if I'm wrong, Paula! Egg laying will occur the end of Jan./early Feb. Bet we'll have you glued to the cam by then!!
Geez, I'm hooked since before the last fledge. I have so many "favs" that half of them are for bird or animal cams around the world. Can't seem to get enough of them. This eagle nest is my very favorite!
Nice pictures from evening visit by Jo and Lynn... Thanks! And I see Suzanne caught a glimpse of the Morning Eagle too...that bird was on there a looooong time I see.
Good Evening Folks. Today is my Mother's birthday...she would have been 100 years old. She died in 1993 at age 83.
Hope it is a good night for everyone. Weather, not so great in the Four-State are of VA,Pa,Md and WV....hope it improves for trick or treating. xo ☺
Well thanks gals. I was the caboose, last one of 8, she was 41 when I was born. She loved Russell Stover candy...and instilled that same love in all of us! And she was a good cook. I do have many nice memories. She would read Little House in the Big Woods to us, loved that. She was a good gal, got Alzheimer's though so we really took the loss of her in the mid-80's. xo ♥
I've been meaning to mention this. Sandy Burk will be in Martinsburg at the Public Library on Nov 17 at 3:30 (I think that's the time) to help get an Ecology Club going with local school students. Cool Huh? I have to work that evening but will try to get a switch if I can so I can go. She is a great gal...her degree is in Marine Biology!
And Randy Robinson of NCTC confirmed that that "thing" in the nest that we joked was a baloney sandwich, was a tray of meat like hamburger from - somewhere - he thought he had some videos of it captured and was going to try to find them. Paula had gotten videos of that too of course...we had a good laugh about on Open House dinner night. ☺
I can wear a costume to work Saturday if I like...it has to be "in good taste" of course, so I am seriously thinking about wearing flannel pajamas! How comfortable that would be, elastic waistband of course, eat more candy and treats and not worry about popping a button! ☺
I am heading to Mom's tomorrow for my last full weekend...should have it pretty well wrapped up by Sunday. Hoping to get some pansies planted out front...and then list it next weekend...
Jumping in to say Hi--gotta grab some quick dinner, study a bit more, and head out to school. Any prayers you're prompted to say for my test tonight will be greatly appreciated. This is a long chapter about the Endocrine system. Lotsa info! Thanks in advance. Will check in after I'm home from school. Sorry I missed the eagles! Guess my timing is off today. Have a good evening! :o]
Evening Everyone! Had a snack after work & then had a Panda nap! Guess I;\'ll have to e4at real dinner soon! Best wishes, Andrea on your test. Some of us know a lot about endocrine system!! And Margy, Happy Birthday to your Mom. Lynn, Thx for the eagle fix pics!! Gotta visit SD Zoo tomorrow~~~
I have voted! I voted for Fu Sheng! For several reasons. It means blissful San Diego. I like Diego being in his name and my first Siamese cat was named Fu. He can be our little Fu!!!!!
Sometimes I can be a ding dong but never a dingdawn!
I am thankful Joey made that call and I really hope things can be resolved BUT I know how some parents can act. Like you suggested the best would be to bar those 2 parents from the games.
Did not see the bear, Jo, but I saw the comment, then I saw a man come and straighten up the snowman and put the cape back on. The man was wearing what looked to be flowered shorts.
Yes, I am very happy he called. I always think problems should be solved by those in power! And, those two fathers have not been cleared. All coaches have to cleared and okayed to coach. Yes, isn't it a shame that this has happened. Thankfully, Joseph has no idea what is going on. However, there is tomorrow. Hope they can keep it from him. The other already know.
Glad you saw Ken, Shirly. Snowman is called Woody, guess I should call him by name.
He was wearing shorts and, I think, heavy boots. It looked a little odd. I think he came from behind the snowman to straighten a pumpkin or something.It was a little hard to tell.
Amazing that it is as cold here as in Michigan. We presently have 52. LOl We are having our first fire in the fireplace tonight...and the back door is open. Yes, we are crazy, but oh, we love having a fire.
They say we are going to get free H1N1 shots at school. They asked whether we want the nasal spray or the injection, and I said I need to know more about the differences. Anybody out there know? I am inclined to go for the injection, but don't know. It seems we need to respond quickly. Hope that means they are going to do the shots quickly.

Seriously bad air collision off Catalina last night---Coast Guard C-130 and a Marine chopper......massive search underway for survivors.
Yes, I think it should be taken to the commissioner. And, on top of being totally wrong, it was also reverse discrimination. So glad Joseph has no idea of what is going on. Interesting thing is Danny, the coaches son, and Joseph are the two best players. ?????????
Well, if that doesn't work for Joey, then they should go to the soccer commission.
Hi everyone :)
Paula, thanks for the new cam. It is really neat to look at Harriet. What a bird!
I agree -- going to the commissioner is the wise choice. IMHO.
Hey Delphia, how are ya?
Lolly I say go to the commission with the coach and explain the situation & file a complaint - something in writing. Hopefully Joey and the coach's son could be placed on another team to finish out the season while this is being handled. I hate it when adults take away from the games for kids.
Did you notice the talons on her?
Out of here for lunch!
BBL
If the other fathers form a rogue league, who can they play against? Certainly not a sanctioned team. Really teaching their kids great sportsmanship, aren't they?
Oh, yes. And something just caught her attention and she grew in height. lol And, I love the way that sometimes it looks like she is looking right at the camera.
It is not fair to Danny or Joseph to go to an established team. And, it just messes up the whole schedule to dismiss the team. They should be barred from games. Period!
Back is doing better. Yesterday I took muscle relaxers all day, not just at night. It has helped! Going to get up now and start moving around.
BBL
I keep missing Harriet moving around....darn work!
Harriett looks like she has bedhead. Has some feathers sticking up. So cute.
Oh afternoon everyone. Still have to icing 4 dozen cup cakes. BBL
Good Description, Ceil. I was wanting to run a comb thru her white feathers!
Wonder what the human in jeans is doing?
Keep thinking I should go out and TRY to move leaves....but so dreary...and the wind is stiff...and now looks like more rain coming......argh!! Best laid plans of mice and Lynn!! Maybe it's a good day to just sleep!!

Good Morning,
Everybody!

Looks like Suzanne is on her way to a new job.
C(°ٿ°)D
Jim
just had a BLT on toast..yum, going to do more laundry:>
Finished icing cup cakes.Devil food with orange flavored icing.
Candy is ready for trick or treaters. We get almost two hundred. The school over the next block has a party on the football field and the kids come and then they come to the neighborhood. Good time. We sit out front and see all the costumes. Love it.
we only get about 30, if we are lucky:(..house around the corner sets up a halloween house, and everyone goes there.
Your cupcakes sounds yummy, Ceil!! Have been here for 17 years and never had a single T or T'er.
Lolly, glad your back is feeling better. Those crazy muscle relaxants make me groggy for 24 hrs. after taking just one---don't know how you are functioning!

Hope Suz finds a job closer to home.

All poor squirrel.
Let him eat all the acorns he wants! I get the pecans!

Aha clever squirrel... Keep him out of our pecans.
Just picked a deer tick off my leg-luckily he was moving, and hadn't bitten me. Now of course I am paranoid there might be more on me.....
The pandas are either eating or sleeping I'll be glad when Diego gets a little older and wants to PLAY/FIGHT with Bai.
Yuck! Go check for ticks all over....
They are so small... Isn't there anytime they aren't around?
BBILW
They are always around, waiting....
lol....it hasn't been cold enough yet for them to be gone. Funny, cause I have been outside all day, but when I got home I put on my crocs and walked out to the woods, and that is probably when the bugger got on me- was crawling up my leg under my jeans..gotta go look again...
Here's an interesting tidbit......the Omaha city zoo holds the most species of any zoo in the US. Hard to believe, huh?
Yep, takes a hard freeze before the ticks are gone......and they come back early---late winter!! Megan, you were lucky to see it.
Ceil, glad I don't get to see your display!! Sorry :(
Bluebirds at BWO
Hi everyone. Just checking in on this dreary day. PT went pretty good today. Not much more pain when I left. I also have a bit more range of motion - yipee! The hard work is paying off.
Of course I missed any visits to the nest since Wednesday, but, hey, I'll catch them again - guaranteed!

Hi, Everyone!
I've been playing hookey from the blog today--have been studying hard for tonight's Anatomy test. It should be a tough one. Got signed up for next semester last night. Will have Formatting on Mon. & Wed., 6-10 pm, and Practice I on Tues. & Thurs., 6-10 pm. Second quarter, the Formatting class changes to Research Skills.
So I will have school on Mon. thru Thurs. nights. That ought to keep me out of trouble! LOL
Hope you are all having a spectacular day today! I gotta get back to the books... Be back after school tonight! :o]
Lunch time here, it is chilly outside today.
Eagle at Maine
EAGLE
HEY WE HAVE AN EAGLE!
I SEE A BEAUTIFUL EAGLE!!!
Time to head back, hope someone gets to see the eagle.
Oh, good! BBL
soogy one:)
bed head hair:)
Diann, glad that PT went well today. Do you get a break for the weekend? Except for what you must do yourself at home, that is!
Belle and Lib are already doing a lot of nestoration work, and quibbling about it, as usual!
EAGLE ALERT!!!
Lynn, still have to do the "homework" but no passive stretching until Monday.
So, Diann, the sweet spooning will probably start in another month or so, with hanky panky commencing in the early part of January----correct me if I'm wrong, Paula! Egg laying will occur the end of Jan./early Feb. Bet we'll have you glued to the cam by then!!
I need to find a way to dry my back after showering with one arm when hubby isn't home. Any ideas?
Don't we have a lovely bird???
Gee, sure wish we had a live cam so we can zoom in.........:(
what's a live cam...lol?
Geez, I'm hooked since before the last fledge. I have so many "favs" that half of them are for bird or animal cams around the world. Can't seem to get enough of them.
This eagle nest is my very favorite!
She is just sitting there waiting on Lib so she can yell at him!
POOF
Awwww .. it's gone!
Diann, wrap your towel around a yardstick or something similar and then reach up from behind with it.
EAGLE again
BOTH
Belle getting bossy
Double Eagle Alert
Beautiful
Thanks Mits
It seems to be darker here at my home in the valley than over at the nest..
guess they are getting ready to come earlier to nest with time changing soon
They are busy tonite.
POOF !
poof
Poof No More in the nest
I almost missed them.. Was clearing dinner table..
Glad you got to see them DEB & DIANN
I have some pics for our album for Margy when she gets home.
Yep! They turned on the night light!
Didn't stick around too long...but I got another capture.
Lynn, great idea. I never thought of that.
Now must go get supper for Jimbo.
... later
Seems lighter there, Jo, I think because tree is out in the open field.
Those 2 emails of the eagle, Lynn are great. Putting in the E_M album.
Album is good to go - only one more day and then NOVEMBER 1.....
good pic of Sheila's 3 chicks in Australia
deer at snowman cam
close-up of raccoons at PIX
Nice pictures from evening visit by Jo and Lynn...
Thanks!
And I see Suzanne caught a glimpse of the Morning Eagle too...that bird was on there a looooong time I see.
Good Evening Folks.
Today is my Mother's birthday...she would have been 100 years old. She died in 1993 at age 83.
Hope it is a good night for everyone. Weather, not so great in the Four-State are of VA,Pa,Md and WV....hope it improves for trick or treating.
xo ☺
Nice cam link of Minnesota Cam, Paula... thank you
As soon as Hallowe'en is over, start watching for outdoor Christmas lights!
Happy Birthday to your Mom, Margy! Just think...if she hadn't been born, we wouldn't have you!!
Well, hope your day was full of good Mom memories, Margy:)
Well thanks gals. I was the caboose, last one of 8, she was 41 when I was born.
She loved Russell Stover candy...and instilled that same love in all of us! And she was a good cook. I do have many nice memories. She would read Little House in the Big Woods to us, loved that.
She was a good gal, got Alzheimer's though so we really took the loss of her in the
mid-80's.
xo ♥
I've been meaning to mention this.
Sandy Burk will be in Martinsburg at the Public Library on Nov 17 at 3:30 (I think that's the time) to help get an Ecology Club going with local school students. Cool Huh? I have to work that evening but will try to get a switch if I can so I can go. She is a great gal...her degree is in Marine Biology!
And Randy Robinson of NCTC confirmed that that "thing" in the nest that we joked was a baloney sandwich, was a tray of meat like hamburger from - somewhere - he thought he had some videos of it captured and was going to try to find them. Paula had gotten videos of that too of course...we had a good laugh about on Open House dinner night. ☺
I can wear a costume to work Saturday if I like...it has to be "in good taste" of course, so I am seriously thinking about wearing flannel pajamas! How comfortable that would be, elastic waistband of course, eat more candy and treats and not worry about popping a button! ☺
Hope anyone that is not feeling so good, starts to feel better soon.
Some of my relatives are starting to report feeling kind of puny.
Not Me, though.
I know the Night Bandit is lurking so I have to tend to a few things.
Be back in a little while.
xo Go Mountaineers.....!
Happy Birthday to your Mom, Margy!
I forgot we chatted about the hamburger in the nest!
Thanks Mits for the pic of Sheila's chicks. They are usually sleeping when I peek in on them.
Lots of deer at feeder on Wildlife Cam 1
Margy - or you could wear your sweats and be a jogger!
take a teddy bear with you Margy, and wear slippers...:)
Hello all,
So nice to have the weekend ahead of me. Already took a nap when I got home, although I slept in this morning.
Skimmed over the blog. You all have been busy.
I am heading to Mom's tomorrow for my last full weekend...should have it pretty well wrapped up by Sunday. Hoping to get some pansies planted out front...and then list it next weekend...
Gotta go clear out the trunk from last weekend and get some chores done....bbl
Hi, Gang,
Jumping in to say Hi--gotta grab some quick dinner, study a bit more, and head out to school. Any prayers you're prompted to say for my test tonight will be greatly appreciated. This is a long chapter about the Endocrine system. Lotsa info! Thanks in advance. Will check in after I'm home from school. Sorry I missed the eagles! Guess my timing is off today. Have a good evening!
:o]
Wishing you good luck on your test, Andy. Glad you got registered okay...heavy schedule! When does the new term start? Hope you get a few weeks off!
Andy is really going to feel like a full time student next semester! She'll be able to get in a good daily routine - She will also be saying TGIF
Quickie break.
Snowman dracula is losing his cape
coons at pix
Wow 60° at snowman
Sheila's babes are already getting their pinfeathers!
Do you think the bear took Snowman's cape? Completely gone.
He might have!
Uh oh. Snowman leaning to the left now.
Snowman is leaning a lot more in one picture than in the other, so the change must be recent.
Yup, when I posted is when it happened...think it was the wind.
Back to vaccuming...
Hi all! We just finished a delicious dinner. Now, I am sitting and resting, Jack is watching the STARS
Laurel called while we were eating. Joey did call the soccer commissioner and someone will be at the game tomorrow. Should be interesting.
Wow, Paula, your last weekend on the house. You all have done a wonderful job. Hope is sells quickly!
Happy Birthday to you Margy...for your Mom. 100, wow! Hang on to the memories! Glad you told us.
Evening Everyone! Had a snack after
work & then had a Panda nap! Guess I;\'ll have to e4at real dinner soon!
Best wishes, Andrea on your test. Some of us know a lot about endocrine system!!
And Margy, Happy Birthday to your Mom.
Lynn, Thx for the eagle fix pics!!
Gotta visit SD Zoo tomorrow~~~
Alcoa chicks snoozing...can hardly see them
Just checked Snowman~~~he is listing a little. Wonder if he had Halloween punch!
Hey guys! They have already put up the five names to be voted on for Diego.
Thanks, Lolly!
I have voted! I voted for
Fu Sheng! For several reasons. It means blissful San Diego. I like Diego being in his name and my first Siamese cat was named Fu. He can be our little Fu!!!!!
Go vote!
Can you get the names posted on here...my page won't load!
Glad they have a name with Diego in it
Eyasses are up
I AM SLAM WORE OUT!
Happy to say it was a GOOD day!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
I voted and can not get back to the list of names. You can only vote once and I have not found them any other place. Will look.
HA HA There comes the bear
Is he wearing a Dracula cape...
Can someone else who goes to vote write down the five suggested names. I did not write them down and can not find them.
Better sneak some Good Nights in...
Paula Best wishes on the Last Push Week-end
and Lolly - sorry to hear of the controversy, hope it works out okay and the kids don't feel any negativity from it
And to all...Hope Sleep is Sweet and Dreams Comforting. I'm headed that way soon.
God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥
That was a fast entrance and then out he went!!! (I swear I saw a bear entering on the right! )
You made that up, Jo!!!
Honest Injun I didn't....
Shirley - did you see da bear???
You are seeing things, Jo. You, okay? lol
Need to have your glasses checked? Or have you had one too many?
Now here is from their blog.....
dingdawn "bear"

Check out the time and compare with my comment...... I am fast! lol
Love you, Jo!!!!
ROFLMBO
If you read Dingdawn's last comment
dingdawn "really quick bear, lol"

2009-10-30 9:47 PM
Okay, I see it on the blog. Or are you dingdawn??? lol
good old dingdawn !!
Yes!!!! ROFLMBO
Whoa! The cape is back and I did not see it happen. Did the bear put it on snowman?
Sometimes I can be a ding dong but never a dingdawn!
I am thankful Joey made that call
and I really hope things can be resolved BUT I know how some parents can act. Like you suggested the best would be to bar those 2 parents from the games.
Did not see the bear, Jo, but I saw the comment, then I saw a man come and straighten up the snowman and put the cape back on. The man was wearing what looked to be flowered shorts.
Man probably scared the bear off.
Now we both missed it and that would have been the best part
Let's see what dingdawn says.....
Yes, it is good Joey made the call. The commissioners need to be aware of something like that going on.
OK Ken - the owner or whatever put it back on.
Did you see what dingdawn said
dingdawn "how is jo tonight?" lol
Thanks Shirley - I wonder if that was Ken's sleeping wear?
Yes, I am very happy he called. I always think problems should be solved by those in power! And, those two fathers have not been cleared. All coaches have to cleared and okayed to coach. Yes, isn't it a shame that this has happened. Thankfully, Joseph has no idea what is going on. However, there is tomorrow. Hope they can keep it from him. The other already know.
Glad you saw Ken, Shirly. Snowman is called Woody, guess I should call him by name.
Hope your back doesn't hurt much when you laugh, Lollie.
Shirley I have had my belly laugh for this evening concerning the CAPE.
I am going to see what is on TV at 10.
BBILW
He was wearing shorts and, I think, heavy boots. It looked a little odd. I think he came from behind the snowman to straighten a pumpkin or something.It was a little hard to tell.
Had to go looking but found the comment. So, you are on that blog, huh? lol
Yeah, I saw they were calling him Woody.
This is the only blog I am on, except for the ones connected to my classes. I just read the comments.
Ken was wearing those shorts cause they think it's back to summertime with the 60°...which has dropped to 50° now...
I thought it might be cold there, so the shorts surprised me.
An elderly man robbed a bank in CA...he was carrying his O2 tank with him!
Amazing that it is as cold here as in Michigan. We presently have 52. LOl We are having our first fire in the fireplace tonight...and the back door is open. Yes, we are crazy, but oh, we love having a fire.
Tee Hee Lolly don't accuse Shirley of being on that other blog! lol
Shirley I think Lolly aimed that comment to me - There is a Jo on the Snowman blog...... lol
They say we are going to get free H1N1 shots at school. They asked whether we want the nasal spray or the injection, and I said I need to know more about the differences. Anybody out there know? I am inclined to go for the injection, but don't know. It seems we need to respond quickly. Hope that means they are going to do the shots quickly.
That is too funny Paula. I would probably trip over the hose and fall flat on my face when I would go to
run away with the money!
It is to be up in the 70's here tomorrow but then late late evening some rain should come in.
Early Trick or Treating!
I can't get the names to load....
I wondered who she was speaking to, and now I remember there was a Jo. Seems to me that there are several people named Jo out there blogging.
Shirley - SHOTS for sure.
Wonder if someone goofed by putting it up already, and now they've pulled it til tomorrow???
I'll see what I can do over on the Panda cam with the names.........
BRB
Jo, I was accusing you and you know it!!!!!
Was telling Jack about the bear and Ken coming out and replacing the cape. He said "I don't know about a man that can scare a bear."
lol
Shirley - do the shot. I thought the mist was just for the youngsters.
Lynn- they won't load for me either.
Name the Cub
Which name best suits our newest panda cub?
福圣 Fú Shèng (fu sheng): blissful San Diego
小龙 Xiǎo Lóng (siao long): little dragon
熊伟 Xióng Wěi (syong wei): extraordinary bear
永祥 Yǒng Xiǎng (yong siang): eternally blessed
云子 Yún Zǐ (yun zih): son of cloud
Well, a man in flowered shorts and big work boots might scare a bear. If the man drives up in a car, I think the bear might leave.
