68° here in Bethesda:)
Thanks, Megan and Steve.
Thanks Steve.
Thanks for posting your Turkey Gobbler, Megan
Hi everyone. I got lost in yesterday's comments but soemone was talking about shoulder bursitis. Years before my replacements and rotator repairs I had a severe case of bursitis and a RN told me to use ice. I thought she was wacko, but it worked wonders. Certainly can't hurt. I still use ice on my shoulder since the replacement(s).
Do we also have a little one that is sick? Hope she gets well real quick. It's no fun for mom either, blessings on all the mothers, and fathers, of sick little ones.
Speaking of little ones. My youngest gs and his mom hope to visit next week. Can't wait to see him - and his mom, my daughter.
Debating if I should get dressed today ... still in my pjs and they are so comfortable. I can probably make supper in them, right? Jim gets home after 7 PM so he wouldn't know the difference. ;-)
I won't tell Diann!
Diann - I think it is a great Idea!
Jim won't know you had them on all day unless he gets on this blog! lol
Shirley - did the DR mention ice to you for your shoulder?
It was my shoulder, Diann. Doctor suggested heat and it does feel good. I linger in the shower. I will get a chance to talk to a therapist soon. I will ask about it.
I need to check out the crock pot!
Hubby is out helping son so I am in charge! I don't want it to go dry and burn the main course!
BBILW
Dr. scratched out ice and wrote in heat.
It is sometimes strange, the question of whether to use heat or cold on a sore spot. I appreciate your suggestion, Diann.
Still need to go vote. Have enjoyed the day off. Got some assignments done earlier than usual.
My therapist always ends my sessions with ice. I asked about heat and she told me the ice is better for inflammation, which does make some sense. i have a lot of inflammation after she's done with me.
I love the turkey avatar. It's Megan, right? I looked at your flower pics again. I just love those pink peonies. I wasn't able to bring in bouguets this year and I have my mother's deep dark red one that looks great mixed with the white and pink. I don't think my pink ones are as pretty as yours though.
Any visitation to the nest today? I'll be looking in occasionally.
... later
I have not seen them yet today, Diann
We can compare notes after I see my therapist, Diann. I didn't ask the doctor why he marked out "ice" and wrote in heat. I think it is often a matter of opinion. I have heard that you should use first one and then the other.
Heading out to vote.
Two eagles at Blackwater
Margy - meant to tell you I love your Beaver Moon avatar!
2 eagles at BWO
Maybe we'll get a visit tonight :)
Awww Diann is that you're kitty?
I meant "your", duh
Both eagles at BWO poofed!
Stopping in to say Hi. Got the pop up cam running. Do I get to see that gorgeous pair. I surey hope so.
Paula, that's not one of my cats. It was once in an email on how to say you're sorry. Maybe you saw it? It was too cute to cancel so I saved it. My cats don't know how to say they're sorry. ;-)
yippee how gorgeous are they
POOF
poof
night light on
LOL just like Motel 6. OK have a good evening.
yep, we will leave the light on for you:)
EAGLE
SUZANNE UPDATE PER PHONE CALL
Our gal said to tell everyone she loves you, she is doing wonderfully well and that she even got to watch Bones last night! lol
Suz is working at the Corporate office for her old company - only 2 employees opted to go to the new company. There are 21 employees that are now 2 buildings down from her old bldg. They are fully employed with 40 hrs same pay until they find a job! They open at 6:30am & No sooner. Suz leaves home around 4:30 and her quitting time is about the same - 2:30pm. She gets to go through her snail mail and newspaper and watch TV. She wanted to know what was on tonight. The company's VP emailed them all when he heard they lost the contract Oct 31. She has an office, laptop, phone and help with the resume. She is sounding sooooooooo
GOOD !
Eagle!
POOOF
Missed the eagles. Don't see any action at Alcoa...but I swannee it looks like those chicks are covered with poop!!!
Deb, are you on lunch break?? Or as my daughter says of 2nd shift mealtimes: linner.
I guess linner fits pretty well!
Dental apptmt. went ok----but my dentist was off. New owner of practice was out as he became a new dad last night. Luckily, the other original old-timer guy was there, and I have seen him before. No problems. New type of x-ray equipment---much easier to deal with...all computerized, too!
Thanks for the update, Jo!
good for Suz:)
I missed all the action........ BooHoo
Okay, Jo's talked to Suz...she's posting info.
Oops...she already did!
Jo, what do you have in the crock pot?
I was SO hungry for KFC, so went after dentist....came away very angry. They no longer make Extra Crispy.....that is all I've ever eaten---don't even like the plain original recipe.....I've been eating it since about 1970 when my sister was a manager at a KFC.....I just can't believe it....
Rats! Missed the visit...boo hoo here too!
well that sucks, Lynn:(
Did we have the banding at Alcoa -
Mushmouth here just woke up !
But I did see the Eagles when Glo was watching...
I don't think so Margy, it is what only 7 a.m. there???
Okay, I just re-read what Paula posted earlier and I thought we were on for between 5 and 6 pm -
Is it my clunker eyes..
What? No extra crispy?
I was only up for a minute when I saw the eagles when Glo did then I had to lie down again
Glad the dentist visit went okay, and bummer about KFC Lynn. It's all market-driven and I guess there are not enough fans like you in the market
and Thanks Jo for the good news regarding Suzanne
Nope...no more extra crispy.
Is white chick missing form box??? Maybe someone has him and isbanding him......maybe they ran late.......
the huge big beauitiful fantastic Beaver Moon is on the rise again
It did say 5-6 pm....are we 14 hours different? If so then it would be between 7 & 8 pm....I didn't really check what I posted...I swiped it from another forum!
hear you about that poop looking look on the chicks
I thought I saw the white one when I first opened it up ten mins ago
Hmmm are the doing it now? Only see 2 chicks..and they are looking to the right
looks like he is hiding behind the one on the left
Their feathers are really growing in quickly! Haven't looked at em since last week.
now looks like he moved to the corner to the right
Now looks like white chick in far right back corner
whitey is there
Yup, he's there, now in the left corner...all chicks looking left now!
he is behind the chick on the left again
I got one pic on the Momsters album from the visit I saw
must be watching a tennis match:)
Hmmm....see all 3 now....with a 60 sec. refresh, hard to tell if someone has reached in and put it back or if it was just hidden behind a sib.....drat!
And all that poop is a distracting mess!!! I'm giving up before Hughes cop nabs me!
glad we don't have smell-a-cam:(
Good one Mits ! LOL
Just checked their real-time cam at 6 our time and it was reading 10 their time, so Paula your time was right.
ROFLMBO, Mits....ain't it the truth!?!
Looks like our eagles were in the nest for a totala of two minutes two different times 5:21 - 5:23 and 5:31 - 5:33
Was a hard visit to catch!
wonder if they will change the view of the cam for the banding?
looks like they are trying to hide now...:)
ROFLMBO!!! Good one, Mits!
I completed 6 pages for Jacob's book. Sitting at the computer is not good for my back. Went out and hunted for pecans and my back is feeling better.
Jo, we have a scanner, but it looks like we need a new one. I am creating the book in Print Shop. Then I will take it to Office Depot to have them laminate it and bind it.
I am glad we had a nest visit, but sorry I missed it.
awww the one chick looks like he is comforting the white chick
So maybe Whitey has been done...???
Sent Diann the google link for creating a blog....said she was going to get right on it....hope she is having success. Told her to trhrow out questions to us if she runs into trouble.
And I am trying to send Shirley the instructions for adding pix to the albums
All of those little chicks are huddling together. That is one mess of poop.
Well the chicks are feisty looking whether they are getting banded or not
I hope they are just now banding -
I was eating the roast beef from the
crock pot! I can't really tell if all 3 are in the coop or not.......
Thanks for getting the pic of our quickie eagle visit, Margie. At least they turned on the night light.
Thanks, Margy. I appreciate that. If I understand correctly, the album is closed for October, so only November pictues are being posted now.
3 there now
No, Shirley, you can still add to Oct. album!
Just open album and then click on add photo.
Only see two there now....
The picture I have go back several months. I guess I can figure out the dates.
You can add to OCT album IF they are OCT pics.
Whitey is giving us all the
EVIL EYE..........
Just got your email sent Shirley...
if you can get onto that home page and look at albums then it recognizes that you are signed in, if you cannot look at anything then you have to sign in
Once you start saving pics and adding to albums, you will find that you need a good naming system to save you some time
Oh just remembered a PS that I need to send
Shirley wherever you have your pics stored - can you arrange them in date order before starting to post?
OR better yet in order for you to get some practice.... I'll create an
album named SHIRLEY
Give me a minute and then look for it.....
The trolls are really working on me today.......somebody/something is really trying to make me snap..have you heard that prison inmates in some states are getting H1N1 vaccine before the pregnant women, children and compromised adults????????? Told my daughter that if I get it and die, to sue the Feds based on that damn reason alone.
Now all 3 are there
This is NOT good coverage for the
banding.... Hope they post an video.
OR have them hold up there banded leg so we can see it!!!!!!!!!!
When I was at the doctor's, I asked about leg cramps. He said that the cause is very complicated. In a young person, usually exercise. In older people, it is usually caused by a deficiency of some kind--can be a lack of manganese, calcium, magnesium, potassium, or can be caused by dehydration.
Whitey is a cutie!
Every falcon nesting area is poop filled.... No big deal - remember
PA ledge! We always wished they would
power wash it! lol
Okay I finished my amateur instructions to Shirley...
what a cool teaching tool, Jo -adding an album Shirley can practice on !
That ledge hides their legs enough that I can't see if there are bands on or not...
whose STUPID idea was that, Lynn????
chick looking down over the ledge
Thanks, Lynn and Jo.
Whew! Just snatched George off the keyboard. He was about to hit the power button again!
Is there any nest at all, or are they just on the floor of the box?
just on the floor of the box, that is the way peregrine falcons like it
Well, Mits....Texas, Ohio, I think Maine was mentioned.......but I bet good ol' Joe Araphoe (sp?) in AZ won't do it!
Shirley Your album is ready...
Double click on it
Upper right click on Add Photos
Click on Select Files
You should be able to bring up the site where you have saved the photos.
Highlight the photos and click on Open.
They automatically upload and then just click to View you Photos
It is only your album so it's ok if you flub a few. Margy say she is sending you info also.
Shirley - Drink a lot of water and
eat your bananas!
what a crock, Lynn....where is the fairness in that???jmho, but if you are in jail, you should lose some rights....yeah, Sheriff Jo would do the right thing:)
Sheila is there
OH NO Sheila is there on the box!
BEWARE BANDERS
Now she is gone..... with the refresh
Sheila poofed
So the plan is to get arrested to get the shot?
she probably pooped too.
roflmbo....guess so, Shirley
Is Sheila the momma Falcon?
Did not ask the doctor about a spoonful of mustard.
yes, Sheila is the mom and Havoc is the dad, he is much smaller than she is
She had to sweeten the honey pot, I guess!
That's an idea, Shirley.....if we get arrested, we'll get ALL of our needs met!!
yep, nothing but the best for felons....
Have to admit that when I heard that about the prisoners, I actually started to cry. IT'S NOT FAIR!
I don't blame you, Lynn, I know life is not fair, but that is just plain cruel...imho
What is the justification for giving the shots to the prisoners first?
I don't know, Shirley. And Mits you are so right! I suppose some ACLU person decided that it would be cruel and unusual punishment for the inmates to get the flu! Ha! Sounds like it would be justice to me.
Evening Everyone! Lovely day today at the Park except for computers!I was screaming AARRGGHH this AM, as cannot even open IE now! (Did you hear me?) Says "this site is not accessible"!!!!One of our naturalists was compiling a list of sights that we use & she added 3of mine which will go to our Chief and maybe get on if they fix it. The only internet site thru IE that we use for daily business did open but then timed out and gave me another nasty message. I called that office & you need to close it out & maybe turn off machine for awhile!!! The program is called Smartlink, BUT we've always called it DUMBlink!! Thank God I won't be there except every other Sat. til 2010!
Thx for listening ;>]
ROFLMBO Did you see that?

Wednesday Novemer 4, 2009
Due to a forecast of high winds, the banding has been rescheduled until tomorrow (Thursday November 5, 2009) at 10am Australian EDST. Hopefully the weather will be kind as this will be our last opportunity to band our three chicks. Any longer and there will be an increased risk that the chicks may attempt flight when the researchers approach the nest box.
some officials are saying.....
it a priority to inoculate prison populations since the inmates live in such close proximity with one another, which makes it easier to spread the disease.
I have a comment, but will keep it to myself;)
You tell them Loweeeda!
You know you can vent anytime you want to us. Love the new name you gave the
program lol
well i just had the cam up and not their site....going to eat dinner now...later:)
Thanks for the Alcoa Update Jo, and
Woof Double Woof on the computer problems Loretta.
Dumblink sounds very appropriate, Loretta!!! Know how frustrated you must have been! Too bad about your hours being cut, tho', but at least you won't have to deal with those frustrations for awhile!
Mits, I can hear what you're thinking!!! I'm right there witrh ya'!
Time for Jeopardy.
Well, I am relieved. I checked my grade for the blogging class, and it said my grade was a -8. Yikes! I have been working pretty hard to have a -8, so I e-mailed the teacher and asked if I had overlooked something. She said that I had not overlooked anything. I had just called her attention to an error that she would fix.
I still do not know how the grading system works, but I have a bunch of check marks.
Well Tonight is TV Night!
3 in a row but at 10pm I get very sleepy. Not sure I'll make them all.
It is really cold outside.. 48° in the valley but it is 49° in Hedgesville
Best of all at the Beach it is 53°
Do you have the Zoo tomorrow Mits? I forgot - dinner time there.
Read back & see you've been watching Australia banding!!??
Lynn, you're story about vaccine for inmates is CRIMINAL!!! Sheriff
Joe for Pres!!!
At Park today saw/heard the gulls and some geese circling around & of course the main reason was an Eagle!! Taa Daa. He was far away, but sun made his white points unmistakable.
Put 1 eagle pic I printed on bulletin board~~think it's the 1st colorful one I put on Blog. Director saw it & said, nice but should Photoshop out the branch in front of his side!!! Double aarrgghh! It's Nature!!!!....Other naturalist laughed when he was gone! Well that's my day...now I'll shut my mouth!
Taking a break as soon as I scroll through the evening cams.......
Deer at Snowman
Raccoons at Pa woods
MT Fields on Wildlife Cam
MT Feeders at Okie Bird Cam
Harriet is on her perch (she looks lonely to me)
Diego is sleeping
That's all folks....... BBL
Jo, I am getting myself worked up to see about posting those pics. I really appreciate your help, both yours and Lynn's.
I just have to work up the energy to go do it.
Who and Where is Harriet?
JO...how special you are to set up an album for Shirley to practice in! We do, so love you:)
Shirley, GO FOR IT~~~there is a delete button for any photos that you don't want on the album. Try, try again:)
Almost NCIS time...hope it's not a rerun.
Shirley, it was Margy helping you!!!
Well, thanks for banding info, Jo....now we'll have to start watching at 6 tomorrow evening!!
Nope, Wanda, no reruns tonight!!
Uh oh! Sorry. Thanks, Margy.
Lynn, sorry you have had such a bad day. At least now the dentist's visit is over.
Wouldn't be able to survive the classes I am taking without the things I have learned from you all.
Shirley, I have learned more about computer from these fine fowl folk in 18+ mos. than I knew from 20 yrs. of using them!!
Shirley, here is the site for Harriet, from Wabash Minn, Paula posted it a few days ago:
Wabash Minnesota Cam for Harriet
Give it a few seconds to open up.
I'm sorry I can't tell you much about it, but there is a show coming up on Nov 6 and the info is posted on that site.
And don't panic about posting pictures, it gets easier with practice, just like everything else ☺ We are here holding your hand
Well I 've made enough chicken salad and cheese salad to last me a few days at work, I am really getting sad about going back on nighttime shift, I have so enjoyed being "normal" working days. That all starts at midnight Friday night into Saturday...
As our great Helen says, "It is What It Is." I'm very grateful to have a pretty good job.
I need to soak in a hot tub, back later on.
Hope everyone is percolating along okay tonight.
xo
Love the wild turkey avatar, Megan
we sure aren't seeing them on the Pix Pa site :(
by the way, if anyone tries to see Pleaides sliding close to the Moon, it is going to be difficult because the Moon is so BRIGHT !
but I'm gonna have a look in a little while
Wanda
I got good reviews of the pictures of your place from last week. Lynn asked me why James was not in any of the pictures, you were there so you know, he was like a kid in a candy store!
We sure had fun!
Okay, bye
NCIS was a good one:)
Good night, everyone.
Wish I had time to keep up but just don't have enough hours these days. Too overwhelmed with students, classes, and preparation for the final weeks of the semester.
Good eagle dreams for everyone. Turning my light off but the night light is on for others.
Judie
Good night, Judie. We HAVE been missing your commentary! Love your sense of humor!! When is semester break?? Rest well!
In VA, McDonnell won the Gov. nomination & GOP did clean sweep of state.
We've been watching the 48 Hours real shows about the police catching the bad guys.Interesting stuff.
BTW, there were enough leaves down to be able to see our Park Eagle nest from the road. Stopped there~~~no eagles but lots of pileateds zipping around. Guess I shouldn't worry too much about trying for close up pics there, since we got probably the best we ever will.
Although our from last week eagle pics are quite similar, wondering if I should put more on Blog as I edit them?..
Evening Judie and all hitting the hay.
Margy~~bummer on your night work. When will you get to be on Blog?
I vote YES Loretta, put them on the Blog!
Boris is busy at the Palace
Not too sure, Loretta, to answer your question about blogging; last time on this shift, I checked things out in the morning and then after I got up from sleeping, but I have to make some adjustments this time around, need to make some time to do some stretching type exercises because of my back.
We do shifts two months at a time, but I was on nights for a loooooong time, and days for just these two months.
then on my days off I could do more
Of course we want to see more pics, Loretta, but don't think you can top those eagle pics---even with the stick!! What a nerd that guy is!!
Margie, sorry you have to go back to nights again. It doesn't seem like you were on days for very long.
Just got off the phone with Susan. She usually calls every week or so and we have a nice long visit.
Judie, I understand how you feel. Just enough time to say good morning and good evening. I have plenty of days like that, too. Your comments are so funny and entertaining. We are all missing that. We'll be glad when you are able to do it again, but nobody can keep that up all the time. You have to save your energy for the job.
I am so tired now that I will work on the pictures when my mind is fresh. I know I have put it off before, but I think I might just mess it up tonight. I so appreciate your help, Jo and Margy.
At least I got the assignments for my blogging class finished. Now, I just have to do the photography class.
My 2 TV shows are over.....
Not sure I'm going to shoot for 3
Time for The Good Wife. Yep, Mits, NCIS was good!
I am thankful that my shoulder is not hurting tonight. I hope it's not too painful tomorrow.
Good night and God bless.
Not sure I am ready for this next PBS show on WETA...The Medicated Child. But I will give it a try.
Good to see you Deb.
Good Night Shirley, and to Judie already on the pillows.
Prayers that wellness abounds on the morrow
Today was gd 17th b-day and tomorrow is my gs 25th b-day - different families. Then later in the month is 2 more b-days of grandkids.
Oh yes Hubby and I will celebrate 51st anniversary this Sunday.... WHoo Hoo
Hope he takes me to Dutch's for lunch!
Starting to firm up plans for Thanksgiving meal - at our home! So far looks like most can make it.
Busy busy Month for Mema Jo!
And how is the Germany Gang ??
Hi Deb - The 15 yr old from Australia
His voice was overwhelming. I had to
listen to some of the other videos.
Shirley - have a restful night and hope that when you awaken you will not have pain!
Judie - we on the blog just need to see ya saying hello and good night! We
know you'll be back when time allows.
Alcoa eyasses seem to be snoozin or at least resting
Germany gang had a great Halloween and
I just received school pic of Sammy.
I have talked with Izzy (Elizabeth) and pushed buttons and laughed on the phone! She is so totally different from the others ... she makes the littlest things fun! Her mom might not agree at times when she throws a tantrum over not getting her way. She is really really loud!
I watched some of those other videos too....Mark Vincent...a gentle giant !
yes, Jo, zoo tomorrow, 3 hours of trail and 3 hours of cams
You may need your gloves Mits! And wear those warm boots!
don't think I will need gloves, but will wear the boots:).wind will be out of the south in the afternoon....but only in the 50's
Well, I am going to do it again... Calling it a day!
Good night All
Prayers for All

Oh, Cool, Wanda posted a picture of the second, two-minute visit tonight ☺
On the momsters album
Big Buck at Okie
Good TV tonight. Did anyone watch V? We taped it and will watch tomorrow.
No pictures of Margy's JAMES...he never stopped moving long enough to have a picture taken:)
BTW~~~I saw some Fishing Cars today and tried to get a photo, but for some reason, it didn't show up on my camera;)
I think the Fishing Cars and Deets come from the same area:) Occasionally, Gene and Jack have been seen there too!
Off to bed I go...
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Saw the last 30 minutes of V and I was lost!
Have been watching the news and now I am ready to head for the shower.
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Hello hello! Ostriches at Pete's Pond...one bathing in the water!
watching Sheila and Havoc too...is that right? the 'down under' peregrines. i remember fondly our Dolly!
big monitor-type lizard at Pete's again..same place as before.
chicks just fed in Aussie
Good morning all! Happy to see Crunch back with his new program all installed.
Thought I would get an early start this morning and buy some doughnuts for my first block class. Brain is refreshed. Shoulder does not hurt. I am good to go.
Lolly, I saw the first few minutes of V. The space ships arrived and the people were happy. I am afraid to get hooked on it. I don't think I have time to watch. Next week, I start teaching the SAT-Prep class one evening a week. I will still have a couple of weeks of the on-line courses to go, so I will be pretty busy. Parent conferences tomorrow evening.
It's the Morning, It's the Day.
According to the clock anyway.
Frost on the windshield here,
Moon setting in the West, Venus rising in the East.
Best wishes for a Good Day for everyone...
I'm off to work soon.
