Yeah, I know, had a typo!

Mema Jo said...

That's no problem - I can read it as is

Hi Megan! Happy New Year

floralgirl said...

Howdy Jo:)
Happy New Year(almost) to you!

paula eagleholic said...

Evening, all~

Guess we aren't getting a New Year's Eve thread

paula eagleholic said...

Howdy, Jo and Megan and Lolly. Lolly have you opened that bottle of wine already :)

Mema Jo said...

Doesn't look like it.... At least at
806 it hasn't acted up - like double comments and kicking users off.

floralgirl said...

Hey Paula:) Yeah, pass the bottle, Lolly:)

paula eagleholic said...

Speaking of shrimp...our small town grocery store had the aroma of steamed shrimp as soon as you walked in the door....I was kidding the guys...they said they've been steaming it all day!

Going to do some snack type foods for dinner tonight and see if I can interest Michael in a game of some sort.

Doggies are fed and are trapesing about in the snow...

hedgie said...

Very Happy New Year wishes to all of you departing for the evening!!!

Yep, Megan...if it's Tuesday, it must be........?????

stronghunter said...

Good evening, folks.

Do you have much snow on the ground, Paula?

hedgie said...

Time for Jeopardy. BBL.

paula eagleholic said...

We got about 3 inches or so, enough for the dogs to have fun in. Some has melted with the rain now. It's holding at 32° here right now.

paula eagleholic said...

Well, I think if we're over 800 hundred now, I think we should just ignore any new thread, if posted, and go for 1000!!!

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like a plan........

Mema Jo said...

Moose cam stopped with 3 moose in view

paula eagleholic said...

Got this from a friend...

I wish you Health...
So you may enjoy each day in comfort.

I wish you the Love of friends and family...

I wish you Wisdom to choose priorities...
For those things that really matter in life.

All good things that come to you.

I wish you Happiness and Joy...
And Blessings for the New Year.

I wish you the best of everything...
That you so well deserve.

paula eagleholic said...

Doggies are woofing to get in...

hedgie said...

Very nice sentiment, Paula!! Amen.

hedgie said...

Oh, and I agree......keep this thread going........no matter what!!

Lolly said...

Yes, the bottle of Mt. Veeder cab is open! Dinner was delicious and Jack is doing the clean up. Second glass of wine coming soon!

I will pass the bottle. Hold out your glass!

stronghunter said...

A husband who does the clean-up. What a treasure.

stronghunter said...

I can even forgive him for all of the insults during the football game Sunday.

Lynne2 said...

Very nice sentiment Paula!

I agree, lets stay til 1000!!! WOO HOO lets see a show of hands!!

Heat is still working!!

NatureNut said...

Gee, it's still TU!
Happy, Happy! Lolly, pass me a sip of wine! LOL
Ending the year with a couple posts of pictures~~~part of largest group of deer I've seen at Chelsea office & a little goose music thrown in, plus Ms. Sapsucker.
Raining here--we only had a little sleet in AM, then melted.Didn't get to go see Nat'l Harbor~~think they have decorations. Maybe tomorrow.
Had a snack earlier, so now gonna eat ddinner & watch the celebrations on TV.....

Lolly said...

Yes!!!! He is a treasure. Read him your comment....he smiled. He is now sitting here watching the STARS play hockey and once again...shelling pecans. Bless him!

NatureNut said...

I second the 1000 comment motion!!!! Is poor Margy still at work?? She would be a great helper!!!

Lolly said...

Loweeeeeeeeda!!!! Jack says "Hurry on over if you want some wine!"

Lolly said...

I'm in! 1000 here we come!

Lolly said...

And my goal is to do the 1000 split! 800 was a blast...can you imagaine the thrill of 1000.

Think I have a problem. ROFLMBO

Lynne2 said...

we can do it! 1000 here we come! maybe before midnight!

Lynne2 said...

Lolly, save a glass of wine to THROW to Judie!

Lolly said...

Throw?????????????? Do not want to waste the good stuff with an accidental spill!

Lolly said...

Have we ever considered seeing how many posts we can do really fast?

Lynne2 said...

NO NO there is a NEW THREAD...are we staying or going??

Lolly said...

I am for staying!

Lynne2 said...

Me too!!!!

Lolly said...

Useewildlife is pouring rain.

floralgirl said...

But this thread is so last year.....are you sure???

Lynne2 said...

Boy I was just thinking about all the New Years Eves I spent with my grandparents, watching Guy Lomardo, standing outside at midnight banging pots and pans...I miss that, and I miss my grandparents so much.

Lolly said...

Oh, Megan. I really did laugh out loud! But, how can it be so last year....it is not the new year yet!

Mema Jo said...

If it is decided to stay here until 1000 comments are made.....

Mema Jo said...

Someone best go to newest thread and advise anyone opening it to

Do Not Use Until 1000 is hit on the old thread...

Lolly said...

Well, Lynne,just go outside and bang those pots and pans. I remember my Daddy shooting his gun straight up in the air. That is such a no no!!!

Lynne2 said...

I want to stay to 1000! Bet we can do it by midnight!

Mema Jo said...

In the meantime.........


Ft St Vrain's eagle couple

Lolly said...

Jo,I have it up and will check it now and then. If anyone goes there we will just go and inform them. OK?

Lolly said...

Oh, we are such a rebellious group. lol

Lynne2 said...

Lolly, so many people get accidently hurt by falling ammo!! Steve wants to go out and shoot off his M1 Garand, but the little tots next door might freak out!

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like a plan.........

I'm going to be watching the EarthCam
for NYC mostly while I sit here.

Lynne2 said...

Has 1000 ever been done? I think it's kind of a neat way to say goodbye to the 09 blog!

stronghunter said...

I have been lurking. I'm game.

Lolly said...

Yes, I know. Would not be allowed now days. That was years ago and no one ever complained about it. We lived in a small town...not much population...thank goodness!!!

floralgirl said...

Not allowed to shoot guns off at midnight? somebody better tell my neighborhood.

Lynne2 said...

Jo, I was looking there at Times Square earlier this afternoon....boy I hope they have a lot of porta potties!

stronghunter said...

It is interesting to watch, but I have to say I would not want to be in that crowd.

Lynne2 said...

I guess, Megan, it depends on local law. We can shoot here...but it is dangerous to shoot up in the air. VERY dangerous.

stronghunter said...

Would be okay to be in a building looking down. A nice hotel room.

Lolly said...

Jack just passed to me a handful of freshly shelled pecans. Must be love!

stronghunter said...

Don't know of anyone around here firing guns into the air, but I really don't know. They make a lot of noise doing something out there.

Lynne2 said...

ne meither Shirey! Give me a blankie and the hot chocolate..more my speed!

Mema Jo said...

Lynne - I had the same thoughts when it was only 3 or 4 and the crowds had already started to gather.

Lolly said...

Standing around in a crowd, cold, no potty.....not for me, thank you!

Sitting in front of a fire in a comfortable chair, talking to friends, hubby passing pecans....now that is the life!

floralgirl said...

Don't worry, I'll be inside at midnight. And I don't think anyone is worried about it being legal...hopefully they aren't dumb anough to just be firing into the air...

Mema Jo said...

Well - I have had phone calls from the kids -but I need 2 more - This is a precautionary measure that just in case the Midnight hour comes and our heads are on the pillows... the phone doesn't ring.

floralgirl said...

Uh, tell Jack to pass the pecans this way...I can't reach them.

Lolly said...

Keep checking the new thread....no one over there. lol

stronghunter said...

Susan has gone to NY for New Year's, but she was visiting people who live there, and they would not have considered going to Times Square.

Mema Jo said...

Glad to know your heat is staying on, Lynne.

Mema Jo said...

Megan - are most of the greens cleaned up in the yard now... or yeah-
I mean before the snow fall.

floralgirl said...

Still a biog pile of cedar out there, the mockingbird has claimed it.

Lolly said...

Megan... passing the pecans!

floralgirl said...

Ah, thank you so much!

Mema Jo said...

My oldest daughter when dating her hubby - they went to see The Big Ball in NYC just on a whim. That is called young love!

Mema Jo said...

But pay back is when her youngest daughter and soon to be hubby did the same thing.

floralgirl said...

You would have to pay me a million dollars to go there and stand in that crowd.....

Mema Jo said...

I hope you notice that I am trying to
rack up the comments!

Mema Jo said...

COME BACK HERE CEIL

floralgirl said...

oh no, Ceil is in the new thread....we can't leave her there all alone....

Lolly said...

Ceil.....we are staying here!

Lolly said...

I checked.....she has not gone there yet.

Lynne2 said...

Jack, throw Megan some pecans!!

You're right Megan, I guess a lot of people are not worried about whether it's legal, especially if they are drinking.

Mema Jo said...

Yepper! She in there! She is #1

floralgirl said...

Oh yes, she went there...lol....

Lolly said...

Whoops! She posted and I called her back!

Lolly said...

Megan....you made me holler and laugh. Read your post on the new thread. Poor Ceil!

Mema Jo said...

And then Shirley hollered at her
and Megan hollered at her and

I said I think we blew it!

Mema Jo said...

And then Megan hollered at me !

paula eagleholic said...

Hey we're getting there!

Back for a minute or two...been snacking and talking w/ the college kid!

hedgie said...

I'm in for a 1000!!!
Oldest SIL still does the gun shooting thing. Glad I don't live close. But I will hear other shots around here.
When I was growing up, the folks always did a Deli night-----multiple deli meats, kraut, pickles, cheeses, rye and pumpernickel--on NY eve. Close friends and family, playing cards, games, "making" music.........a lot of fun then, and I would still enjoy it now!

Mema Jo said...

Almost time to put the new
calendars up!

Lolly said...

No, we can still go for it! Just stay with us Jo! lol

I am concerned for Ceil though. Where is she?

Ceil.......we are over here!!!!!

hedgie said...

Lolly, does Jack EVER finish shelling pecans?????

Lynne2 said...

wow, Megan is a BLOGGER COP! OK is everyone out?

floralgirl said...

Now Jo, you know I would never yell at you.

stronghunter said...

Ceil? Where are you?

stronghunter said...

Lolly, do you freeze the pecans?

Mema Jo said...

MEGAN your comments crack me up over there on the new thread

that we are NOT going to use until we hit 1000 split on here.

Mema Jo said...

WOWSIE Only 100 more to go


WE CAN DO IT

Lynne2 said...

where is Ceil???

floralgirl said...

Lolly, tell Jack I found a shell in my pecans...hahaha....

Lolly said...

Lynn, Jack says to tell you that he will be finished shelling pecans before the end of hockey season. Tonight he will finish the 7th bag of shelled pecans. He thinks he is headed to 30. Our best year so far was two years ago and that was 42 gallon bags of shelled pecans.

Judie said...

Uh, let me help! I'm NOT going to the new thread, yet. I'm sticking with this and that's the truth.

Happy almost new year everyone. I'll be back to add another comment or two to help reach 1000 before 2010.

Back to 48 hours.

Lolly said...

Jack says he always gives a little extra to Redskin fans.

floralgirl said...

You take one down, pass it around...oh wrong song...

hedgie said...

Margy will love the goose serenade,too, Lowreeda!

paula eagleholic said...

OH NO, ya'll are too funny!

stronghunter said...

Hi, Judie. What a way to spend New Year's Eve!

Judie said...

Oh, by-the-way, thanks Steve for the New Year's eve new thread. No offense. We're just having some fun. And this counts as another post.

floralgirl said...

Lolly, please tell Jack I am not a Redskins fan, not a nice rumor to start...

Lynne2 said...

hahahahahaha!!!

Lolly said...

Hey Jo, after you publish one then it is 98 publishes to go!!!!!

ceil said...

Sorry. Saw the post and did not read the blog yet.
Lynne aren't you in Maryland. It is against the law to shoot off a gun anywhere.
i think I remember that we went over 1000 before.

Lolly said...

You too, Lynne, after you publish one you have to subtact!!!

floralgirl said...

I'm lost, I'm not very good at math...

paula eagleholic said...

Someone has one too many glasses of wine...it's down to (or it was) down to 85 posts!

Mema Jo said...

Hi Judie
Come back later, Please.

Judie said...

Oh, by-the-way, am having traditional southern good-luck dinner tomorrow.

Lolly said...

Oh,Ceil!!!! We lost you! So glad you are here! Happy New Year!

Judie said...

Good luck dinner is pork, black-eyed peas.

stronghunter said...

We will make it long before midnight.

Judie said...

Pork, black-eyed peas with sauerkraut and smashed potatoes.

stronghunter said...

I have a pork roast in the freezer, but don't have any black-eyed peas. May have to make a run to the store.

floralgirl said...

We usually have pork on New Years day, but our luck has been bad this year, so I'm switching to turkey...

Judie said...

No Brussel's Sprouts.

Lolly said...

Megan....I do apologize! Jack said to tell you that he is proud there is one good person on the blog.

Lynne2 said...

Ceil, we live in the boonies on private rural property. We have an area down over a cliff where we can shoot at the side of a hill where we set up targets. I didn't know it was not legal. When I lived in Carroll Co. years ago, we heard a horrible lot of gunfire late one night and called the State Police (no local police in CC) and they said there was not law against it. WELL DUH, you think they'd at least want to check it out! Maybe it's changed since then.

stronghunter said...

Tomorrow.

Judie said...

Okay, doing my best to help reach 1,000. Back later.

Mema Jo said...

Well Lolly - we were on #900 - we needed 100 and so if you all wouldn't have published while I was singing my 99 would have been correct. I sing a slow song.........

floralgirl said...

Well, just don't mention to him that I'm not a Cowboys fan either.

stronghunter said...

Ceil? Ceil?

Lolly said...

We are having pizza tomorrow, homemade pizza. We have no traditions for New Years day. We are all going to be at Michael's and I am taking over 3 homemade pizza.

Mema Jo said...

Isn't sauerkraut to be eaten on New Year's Day for wealth.......

Lynne2 said...

Hey...in my defense, I did 97 because Judie was 98 in between me and Jo!

floralgirl said...

No, that's for indigestion...

stronghunter said...

Haven't heard that one, Jo.

paula eagleholic said...

I am sitting here LMAO...I have to go pay for the tags before the car turns into a pumpkin at MIdnight...back in a minute!

Lolly said...

Jack says..."There are good people who are not Cowboy fans, but there are no good people that are Redskin fans."

hedgie said...

Anyone who posted on new thread should trash their comments!!!

Lolly, this redskin fan doesn't like pecans....tell Jack "sorry, thanks but no thanks"!

CEIL????? Where are you?

ceil said...

I'm back and trying to stay until 1000 or my face hits the keyboard

Judie said...

Well, it's time to be back later.

Meagan, it's the black-eyed peas that bring the luck. You can have turkey but PLEASE have just a taste of the peas.

PA Nana said...

I'm here too. Watching the countdown to 1000

Mema Jo said...

Those new thread comments are TOO

FUNNY to trash! lol

stronghunter said...

I was about to say that it's a friendly rivalry, but now he has insulted us again.

Judie said...

Black-eyed peas: simmer in water with a bit of diced onion, smoked ham hock, a tiny bit of salt and pepper, and a dash of tobasco.

Mema Jo said...

Ceil you won't miss the harbor fireworks by the New Company would you?

stronghunter said...

We need to leave something over there to advise anyone else who comes on. I think they would be really confused by a bunch of trashed comments.

Judie said...

Black-eyed peas are not my favorite but doctored up I can eat a spoonful or two for good luck. Give it a try, Meagan.

floralgirl said...

Can't I just carry a lucky rabbit's foot? I don't think I like black eyed peas...

paula eagleholic said...

OK, I'm back...

Lynne2 said...

uh oh, blogger cop got me twice now...

Ceil don't take a header into your keyboard!

stronghunter said...

Oh, thank goodness, Ceil did not get lost out there in the ethernet. That would have been really bad.

PA Nana said...

A PA Dutch tradition is pork & sauerkraut for New Year. That's what I'm making tomorrow for dinner with some rolls (Pillsbury) and cranberry sauce (Ocean Spray).

Who's keeping score?

paula eagleholic said...

I had to run to the store to get my black eyed peas for my hopping john tomorrow...they are yummy...gonna throw some keilbasa in there too.

ceil said...

JO I want miss the fireworks. If I fall asleep they will wake me up

paula eagleholic said...

Don't trash those comments! They're great...they know we're over here!

Mema Jo said...

We will be on the new thread with some time to spare before the New Year kicks in.... only 40+ to go

Lolly said...

Sitting here with tears running down my face! Went to the new thread to delete and read Megan's comment. Laughed so hard I have tears streaming down my face!

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, can you ask Jack to pass the pecans this way please?

Oh, I found a recipe for pecan bars, think I'll have to try it soon.

ceil said...

I think we are slowing up

stronghunter said...

Has the blog ever gone to 1,000 before?

Mema Jo said...

I guess they would, Ceil! I am really anxious to see this year's as to why they changed companies... Sheila probably was saving the city some money!

Mema Jo said...

Yes - the blog has gone over 1000 before. I should have written down the
dates but I didn't.

Lynne2 said...

anyone ever watch any of the "Brit Coms" on public television?

hedgie said...

Blogger cop is sure alive and well.

ceil said...

shirley i am sure we have gone over 1000 before Will check later

floralgirl said...

Ah the Brit coms, yep, seen them all.

Lolly said...

Shirley.....do not be insulted by Jack. lol He just like to stir things up!

Judie said...

Okay, Meagan, if you have to use a rabbit's foot go for it -- but the black-eyed peas are more humane.

hedgie said...

Lolly, tell Jack.......well never mind. I AM a good person, no matter what he says.

stronghunter said...

Well, we are getting close now.

Judie said...

Diann, we're also having cranberry sauce, homemade from leftover on Christmas.

Lolly said...

Yes, we have watched the Brit coms as well.

paula eagleholic said...

25 more to go!!

Mema Jo said...

Lolly New Thread
Megan really scared me off of there.

Thanks for not deleting your comment.....

hedgie said...

Jo, sauerkraut IS supposed to bring wealth! Has never worked for our family!

PA Nana said...

Hmmm ... if pork (almost typed port) and sauerkraut at the New Year is supposed to bring good luck I better change the menu. This past year was a bummer. Maybe if I use port it won't matter.

floralgirl said...

Well, I was gonna buy a rabbits foot...not get my own, although there is this one rabbit who was a bit of a problem in the garden last year...

Lynne2 said...

Interesting hawk story
Hawk

magpie said...

Okay - I am doing my patriotic duty - here I am...

everyone knows I can run up the blog posts in no time flat....

I don't have Magpie as a moniker for Nuthin' !

xoxo Good Evening Eagle ♀''s and ♂'s ☺

Mema Jo said...

All of my leftovers are gone from Christmas. I love it when there are
leftovers in my frig!

paula eagleholic said...

I think it was late August or September of 2006 that we went over 1000.

Lolly said...

Go ahead and tell him what you think ,Lynn! lol I KNOW you are a good person!

ceil said...

Jo they are calling some of the jurors back in Shirley wants a new trial and some of the jurors were on facebook talking about the trial before the verdict. She will get a new trial for sure

hedgie said...

Have you heard-----Tavern on the Green is shutting down after tonight. $8 million in the red. No wonder--they charged $60 for a salad lunch 5 yrs. ago!! Duh!

magpie said...

But just for the record:

Thanks Steve for the new thread, we are just making history here ☺ Happy New Year to you and Yours !

Lynne2 said...

I love As Time Goes By. I also watch one called Ballykissangel about a small Irish town and it's citizens.

paula eagleholic said...

MARGY!!!

stronghunter said...

And so am I, Lynn. We are a good bunch.


And I do think that Jack, regardless of his comments, is basically good, too. He brings Lolly drinks, cleans up after dinner, and shells pecans.

I can live with that!

Mema Jo said...

Listen Up! These #%$(@# STINK BUGS

are still alive and well and in

MY HOUSE

I take great revenge when I can throw them out into the snow!

magpie said...

Paula

Beautiful sentiment you posted earlier from your friend.

Thank You !!

Judie said...

Lolly, Lynn is a good person. Tell Jack to send the pecans to me by way of Shirley's recliner -- if he can get George to move over.

Lolly said...

Wahoo!!!!! Our Magpie is in the house! Hail hail the gangs all here! (Where is our Wanda?)

PA Nana said...

Almost the bewitching number!

magpie said...

To all the Southern Delegation and all others:

Thinking of you with happy thoughts!

magpie said...

BINGO !!!!

Lynne2 said...

OK almost there....we staying for more or heading over to the new one?

we COULD see how many we actually get before midnight....

ceil said...

Lynn you are a very good person

paula eagleholic said...
