Monday

Cold and windy thread.  I suspect the cam issues are related to the wind...  they're working on it.

Thanks! Any live feed news yet? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Inquiring minds definitely want to know! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I am really trying to think happy thoughts with Donna today but it gets hard sometimes.

This nasty cough is also driving me nuts, pulling muscles that I really don't want pulled! :)

normabyrd said...

GOOD MORNING & THANKS STEVE for the new FROSTY thread!!---Thanks MEGAN for the call over!!

floralgirl said...

((HUGS)) Sharon, sure it is a rough day for all of you.
You are still sick?

glo said...

I am glad you are in where it is warm Megan Dex and I are back in and plan to stay that way except for very breif minutes about every 4 hours :-).

Sharon did you see my message to you aobut Mucinex on facebook yesterday. Its a little costly but it does work really well for oTC medication. Just a thought.

floralgirl said...

ah yes, about every 4 hours...my dog gets out there and wants to stay out...but I do not. He is sighing heavily now because I mentioned to him that he needed a bath...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yes Megan, still sick. Kind of felt feverish this morning but of course the battery in the thermometer is dead. Coughing is hurting my whole rib cage so . . .

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Glo, I am taking Mucinex, Tylenol, and Tessalon Perles for the cough.

normabyrd said...

WHOA!---I just read 'some material' about the Kindle book!---#1--not cheap!----But would love to try one out!!---ONLY sold by AMAZON! --- Lots of used ones at about $174---Books are about $9.00---& it isn't only for books---it covers newspapers--magazines, etc!!----doesn't weigh much, etc---sounds COOL to me---Will talk with LOLLY & JACK after they try theirs out!!
PS--won't talk today--LOLLY has a big football game!!--her alma mater is playing this afternoon'?
TCU!!!

normabyrd said...

BLUEFIELD SHARON & T-DOG---Oh you folks have been 'not feeling well' way to long!---Maybe you should check with a Dr---Would probably be cheaper than all that over the counter meds!---This weather isn't made for folks with colds, etc.--I am older than both of you --- so--YOU HEAR????

floralgirl said...

Get out the cane, Norma!

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---I am laughing so hard with you!---That's the way it was when LISE was here with her 3 dogs!---IN & OUT!!----They are adorable--but IN & OUT every few mins----I made LISA the door-woman!---

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

OOHHH, the cane!

normabyrd said...

MEGAN----if they both come after me---will you help?---ho!

Seriously---I do worry about you all---hope you are getting enough rest----(because we want to keep you around for a while)!---LUV YA!

floralgirl said...

Both? I don't know, Norma, I don't even have a cane.

normabyrd said...

Is that BAI 'pacing' at the S-DIEGO site--or is that the 'LITTLE PRINCE'?---Looks too big to be DIEGO???---

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Did your KID have school today?----

floralgirl said...

Sorry, Norma, don't watch the pandas, can't answer that question. Schools here were open and on time!

normabyrd said...

MEGAN---Do you get a break---or have you started reading your seed catalogs?---

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Morning again everyone!!

glo said...

OK Sharon Get your butt to the Dr before you have pneumnia. If that stuff isn't helping you are needing more.

floralgirl said...

Well, how did you know that, Norma? I am surrounded by seed catalogs, although I am supposed to be working on taxes and cleaning house.

Mema Jo said...

I just had a 'conflicting comment'
Who was it? You all know my memory isn't as good as it once was - I think I said Good Morning All!
I also told Sharon & Thelma to get to the Drs... I think I made a comment about Topsy Turvy - think that was the cam situation.
I know I said that I was going to read back to see it Daisy ate yet.......

normabyrd said...

WELCOME BACK SISSY!!---What's new?---You folks don't have school today??---MERCER CO?

Costume Lady said...

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE...
Norma, seed catalogs are so very welcome here! Capt. Gene is reading one right now...his main focus is on tomatoes and squash. My favorite veggie to grow is peppers. Nothing did very well last year. Need to rotate the crops this year...haven't done that in a while.
GG plants her spinach the first week in March and it does REALLY well. Last year, the ground was too frozen to even scratch the soil. Hope she can do it this year, it is her greatest joy!

Costume Lady said...

Dustin has held my computer and office hostage for a week, now I need to use it to pay bills that have really piled up over the holidays. Hope Santa left me enough funds to pay all of them:)

floralgirl said...

Turkeys at PIX PA

paula eagleholic said...

Cam is back

Mits said...

mine came back for a minute, now back to blue

normabyrd said...

MORNIN'--MEMA JO--WANDA & GENE--MITS & PAULA!!----thanks MEGAN for the update on the TURKEYS--MARGY loves the TURKEYS!!

Mits said...

now back again...

normabyrd said...

Do you folks get the ASPCA ad with WILLIE NELSON singing---'You were always on my mind' on TV??---It is so sad----

Lolly said...

Good morning!!!!!! A fantastic day ahead! I have on my purple and have a purple blanket on my lap! It is game day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO FROGS!!! RAH RAH TCU!!!!

Norma, the Fiesta Bowl is tonight! Seven our time...six for you! Fort Worth has gone purple. Purple lights on all the buildings. Purple newspaper today! This is just too exciting!

hedgie said...

Good morning, eagle buds!
Another cold one, for sure...brrrr!

FIRE....Shepherd University science lab building! Don't know if classes have started again yet.

Mema Jo said...

Sounds like a Spirit Day, Lolly. That is too cool! Good Luck

I have been surfing the cams
Moosewatch has Alfalfa in view - right beside the barn or garage.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

How do you tell the difference in a crow and a raven?

hedgie said...

Sending lots of hugs to Sharon and Sissy today---((( ))) Hard day, I'm sure.

Mema Jo said...

Nest cam was getting better
with only the line

Now it is topsy turvy again.......
Now it is back to lot of lines!
I give up!

Lolly said...

Cold day here. Was in the 20's this morning, sun shining and now up to 32, and the wind is blowing something fierce! And, yes, saw something silvery and shiny pass by. Think it is headed to CA!

normabyrd said...

YOU GO LOLLY!!----I thought it was this afternoon!!----WHO do you play?----so EXCITING!!----IS JACK'S school in the play-offs too?----

Lynne2 said...

HUGS and prayers for Sharon and Bev today.

Sharon, a raven is much bigger. Usually alone (crow usually travel together in a "murder"). They sort of have a less smooth feather look on breast and head. Very large beak. Make a deep "caw" sound instead of higher pitched and more constant sound of a crow. HOWEVER, it's not that easy to tell them apart if you have never actually seen a raven in person.

Lolly said...

Norma...GA TECH is playing in the Orange Bowl. I think the game is Wednesday. Sure wish they were playing each other. That would have been such fun!

We are playing Boise State. They have also had an undefeated season.

hedgie said...

Good---not a structure fire! Not clear whether it's a water leak or if sprinkler put out fire----whatever, thank goodness it's not serious!!!

Lynne2 said...

now I've got to go get ready for my job interview...see y'all later!

paula eagleholic said...

Sharon, I think a raven is bigger than a crow!

hedgie said...

Shar, never heard of Tessalon Perles....what are they??
Mucinex is great stuff-----get the DM if coughing (dextromethorphan)!
Don't you think it's time to go to the doc, girlfriend??? Sounds like at least bronchitis, and maybe even pneumonia....:(

Lolly said...

I am leaving to eat a bite of breakfast, do my walking, and put up some decorations. I say "some" as it is such a huge project. It is going to take me most of the week to get this done. Going to do it slowly. lol

Have a great day everyone! (((HUGS))) to Sissy and Sharon. (((HUGS))) for Dana as well. Remember the good times!

BBL (((Hugs))) for all!

Lolly said...

Good luck on your interview, Lynne!

Yes, a Raven is much bigger than a crow.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yeah, I am thinking maybe time for doc as well. Don't have insurance right now so not sure where to go except maybe ER.

If ravens travel alone, then these are crows that come here because there are several at a time.

normabyrd said...

WHOA LOLLY!!---I never dreamed I would meet a 'PURPLE FROG'?---Let alone---ROOT FOR A PURPLE FROG!!---Now that is way out----ho!----YOU GO FROGS!!

hedgie said...

GOOD LUCK, LYNNE!!!! DId Daisy eat yet??

Norma, is T-Dog a new name for Thelma because of Buddy, and all of Shars' dogs???

I, too, liked Matewan---and many of those PBS shows, Norma. BUT I mute the TV when those ASPCA ads come on---I bawl everytime if I watch/listen to them.

paula eagleholic said...

Good luck, Lynne!

magpie said...

More turkeys than one can count at Pix Pa....

Good Morning everyone ☺

magpie said...

I see some Toms with big beards too

normabyrd said...

Have any of you all ever ordered from HSN on TV?---I just ordered 2 pairs of EARTH BRAND SNEAKERS!--This is my first time to ever order!--But love the EARTH BRAND SHOE!

normabyrd said...

HEY LYNNE2----Just be natural---you will do great!!----YOU GO GIRL!!

normabyrd said...

THELMA---I have your name wrong!---I am sorry--I know it is T-BIRD!----was thinking of your DOG---You have one just like my daughter, LAURA!!--You are allowed to call me 'DUMB NORMA'!----OK??

magpie said...

Norma, the Turkeys are still at Pix Pa....I also see some of the Lady Birds with the thin beards, but the Toms are there, they are pretty frisky.
Had to turn it off now, computer freezing up.

Special thoughts for all The Southern Delegation today, sending (( hugs ♥ )) for all of you and have you in my prayers

magpie said...

Oh boy, Seed Catalogs means more Megan Flowers! and Angel Tomatoes!

magpie said...

two birds at cape coral, and two at Dunedin doing nestorations, changing of the roosting guard there I think

magpie said...

one just flow out at Dunedin

Mits, how many eggs there now?

normabyrd said...

SHARON---On WV-NPR this am!--They were discussing all the CROWS in your area---said they very rarely stay around like they are now---Can't understand why they haven't moved on!---Is that why you are asking?

NatureNut said...

Happy New Thread Monday!! TY, Steve!
Norma, if your still here~~~my daughter wanted a Kindle she saw on Amazon, but hubby didn't want to get it~~~they were about $240!!

Sharon, sorry you're still ailing. I had bronchitis a couple months ago & Dr. gave me an RX cough med to stop the coughing. It's Tussionex & can make you sleepy, but that was a relief!!!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yeah, Normabyrd, have a bunch of them that come through here everyday, at least 10 at a time. Didn't know if I was naming them right saying they were crows but I guess I am.

I am going to go to the ER after Thelma gets home today.

hedgie said...

LOL, Norma and Lolly----I have lots of frogs in many colors but not a purple one!!! Need to look for one to add to my collection!! Good luck tonight, Lolly! Hope those Frogs WIN!

hedgie said...

No walk-in clinics in Bedford, Shar???

normabyrd said...

ZORN FIRED---

magpie said...

It's tough to hear of people being fired. Maybe they should fire the whole team and a bunch of the management folks too
jmho
I didn't even watch any games

NatureNut said...

Late last night, I clicked on EENet home page, the Estonia Edu. site that has listed several woodsy & a bird feeder cam. It has the link Helen gave us for the feed in the snow.It is the White-tailed Eagle Cam. 2 wild boar cams showed birds feeding! One closeup had a ledge w/ birdseed ball hanging above it & 2 red Xmas balls! There was a lovely small, yellow, grey, blk. & white finch like bird I have to look up & sparrows.

EENet Main Page

magpie said...

Best wishes for a good day everyone, hope Wellness starts soon where it is very much needed!

I'll be gone all afternoon and evening, catch up with you fine pals later on tonight.

Hope the return to the work place, and for the students and teachers that went back to school, has been a good one.

Lynne2
Hope the interview went well. And Yes, Sophia is part Australian Cattle dog and another part something I can't remember what nephew said...thanks for your post, you are a Smart Lady about dogs!
xox ☺ ♥

NatureNut said...

Dark there now unfortunately.

magpie said...

Welcome back Cardinal Avatar Loretta, He is beautiful !

hedgie said...

Norma, Zorn was escorted off Redskins property by security this am before 5.

hedgie said...

Stay warm in your travels today, Margy!!

Mema Jo said...

I saw the cardinal out back in the bush. Snow showers are a possibility.

Sharon & Bev - think of the good memories with Donna today. Celebrate
her life.

Lynne - I am anxiously awaiting word from you about the interview - mostly about your feelings of the vet.
??? Did Daisy eat yet ???

Great pics on Moose cam. Love the way they poke their noses into the snow. I guess they are eating the snow..

I need to go get lunch. BBW

normabyrd said...

I should not have posted that!--I don't know anything about the REDSKINS!---I am sorry....

NatureNut said...

Margy, ladst night when I was watching the split-screen woodsy,snow site, there were crows & lots on Magpies!!! Tried to capture pics of them & finch, but the steps don't seem to work on WMP!! Boo---have to study tutorials.

floralgirl said...

Well apparently you knew one thing about the redskins, Norma:)

normabyrd said...

LORETTA!---On AMAZON this am---they had many of the used KINDLES at $174---New ones were about $200 or more!---the books are $9.00----would love to see one---You have to buy from AMAZON!--anxious to see what LOLLY & JACK think!!

magpie said...

Thanks Loretta, the first day Mits posted the still cam site I also saw some Magpies, or thought I did...

I know there are some good players on the Washington team....just don't think it is one person only responsible for the season, and think a lot of it started during the off-season....Hope all works out well for all the people involved, including, the loyal fans.

Better stop while I am ahead.
Trying to get ready to go but moving slowly...I will bundle up, Hedgie...at least the winds have died down ☺

hedgie said...

What do you mean, Norma?? You knew Zorn got fired! I was just adding info to what you posted!

magpie said...

Megan! That avatar is awesome !

Mema Jo said...

Megan - quite an avatar with all those TV on the fence posts.

magpie said...

Yeah Norma, I am the one who probably should not have said anything :(
I know even less about football !

normabyrd said...

NATURE NUT----love your RED CARDINAL---That is our state bird!---Aren't they beautiful in the snow!!!

normabyrd said...

HEDGIE---I heard it on the news!

floralgirl said...

In the winter months if it is foggy or wet in the morning, the vultures line up on the fenceposts in the field next to us to dry their wings and wait for warm air currents. Sometimes more than 40 at at time. Last week we watched a fox walk by them, most raised their wings at him, some flew away, he just ignored them.

magpie said...

Sounds great, Megan...and that is really a prize-winning photo.

Something rather dark and red and tasty looking in the BWE nest.


Headed out soon, TTFN all.
xoxo

hedgie said...

The security escort off of property is a real bugger in my opinion. Our local hospital did it, too, to professional people who had been there for 25 yrs. Have seen GM do it, too. They are so afraid that someone will get MAD at being let go, and will try to sabotage records or something. Very insulting---JMHO. Sometimes they won't even give people time to gather their personal belongings----they will "send them" later.

hedgie said...

Great photo, Megan!!! An award winner!
BTW----the epoxy did such a good job that the white pine has not even started to brown on the ends, either! Like a two-fer benefit!!! Do you use any kind of preservative when you make wreaths? You might want to try the epoxy!

floralgirl said...

Don't think it would work for my purposes, glad it worked for you tho. I don't use any kind of preservatives on my wreaths.

Mema Jo said...

BWE is in the nest
Don't know if it is Lord or Lady

The length looks like the Lady

Mema Jo said...

Wowsie Both the Lady & Lord
Blackwater are in the nest!

Mema Jo said...

Now you can really see which one is larger and is the Lady........

Costume Lady said...

I have recorded that Lord & Lady B. had their first egg Jan. 23 last year. Just a week before our first egg. Won't be long now...Hope Steve lives up to his word and gets live feed going for us!

Mema Jo said...

The Moose behind the bush is still there.

Costume Lady said...

I see BWE has corn husks and fresh pine again...same as last year, just close to egg laying time:)
Remember the husk last year had a cob in it along with a small amount corn. Food for a rainy day:)

Mema Jo said...

Wanda - I am hoping too

Mema Jo said...

Hubby came up with empty boxes - filled them - my Christmas decor is gone! I am ready for SPRING!

Mema Jo said...

OOPS! forgot the front door wreath and sleigh bells! There is always at least 1 thing forgotten. I checked the bedrooms and bathrooms before but forgot the door!

paula eagleholic said...

Jo, I wish it were that easy to make spring come!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, my friend Tara is on her way to take me to the ER. Will be in touch as soon as I can. Love you all!

Mema Jo said...

That is really great news Sharon!
Hopefully your lungs sound decent...
Proud of you taking care of yourself!

Mema Jo said...

Yep Paula ! Sure wish I could be a daffodil blooming!
Jan - Feb are Cabin Fever Months !

Mema Jo said...

I think it's time for a short Panda Nap

BBILW

Mema Jo said...

You all know I meant that I wanted to

SEE a daffodil blooming!

Cabin fever does strange things to a person's vocabulary...... lol

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Eagle Gang!
Boy, it feels good to be here, and especially to be sitting still for a while! Went and fed the bulldogs, and cleaned up the house a bit for SIL. They should be home pretty soon. Went to the bank and the post office on the way home from there. Need to straighten up my house more, and DO LAUNDRY! Good Lord, I don't know where it all comes from! Haven't started taking down the Christmas decorations yet. Probably either tomorrow or Wednesday. Must get all lights on the artificial tree to light BEFORE I put it away, or I will hate myself next year! Will take a while, but will be worth it.
(((HUGS))) to Sharon, Sissy, and family. Know how rough a day like today can be. I'll be thinking of you and saying some prayers.
(((HUGS))) for Dana, too!
Hope Lynne's job interview goes well! Prayers for that, too!
Also hope Sharon's Dr. appt. will leave her with some really helpful medication! Will be anxiously awaiting news about that.

floralgirl said...

There's an eagle in the nest!

Lolly said...

Taking a break! Have really got a lot put away. What I have done is put away the stuff I store in doors. Will gather the stuff I put in the attic into the dining room to be boxed. I really need to get rid of some. I have way too much!

Guess now we are waiting to hear from Sharon as well as Lynne.

Yes, NORMA you now know a purple frog.....cause that is what I am!!!Actually, the "horned frog" is actually a lizard, but that is beside the point! lol A Horned frog is a unique mascot...we are one of a kind!!!! Appreciate your pulling for them! That is fantastic!

Got a new DVD to do our 2 mile walk. It is a good one, I was working up a sweat.

Jack has done more with his Kindle than I have. I will get around to it. He did download the complete works of Mark Twain for 99 cents or $1.99 and and another book for free. There are a lot of books for free or close to it. Best sellers go for about half price. You can change the size of the text and you can read it in sun light.

Lolly said...

Thanks, Megan!

Lolly said...

I am getting very concerned about the quality of our cam. This does not look too good for the live cam.

Eagles at BWE and Sheptown, if you don't know.

floralgirl said...

I think the pic is awful cause the wire to the cam was spliced and has to be replaced. As far as the live feed we are all waiting to hear.

movin said...

Long story short: I woke up feeling something like a zombie, so after a while I took a Panda nap.

Now I'm way behind on everything, but I feel a lot better while rushing to catch up.... Hahaha.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

movin said...

For a short time I could see the tail end of an eagle at BWO, but now all you can see is the toes on the right side of the box.

Looks like nest builders have stolen about all the largish sticks from the bWO box now.


C(°ٿ°)D

paula eagleholic said...

Yowser!! hurts to look at the cam....

OMG there is an eagle in the nest!

Lolly said...

Eagle our nest. I took a pic but can not download it into the album. The site is not cooperating! Grrrrrr!

paula eagleholic said...

LOL see where Megan posted that 20 minutes ago!

Ms Bookworm said...

Yikes! An EAGLE! Phew~~good to get my eagle fix for the day! That cam picture is horrible, though! Hope we get our live cam soon. Must be the spliced wire combined with the nasty weather that's causing the problem. Grateful that they're working on it!
Forgot to tell you that I have school tonight! 5-10 pm. Think a panda nap will be in order so I don't fall asleep in class. Jim, I find that panda naps tend to fix all kinds of ailments! Kinda gives you a new lease on life!
Well, better go get some lunch. My tummy's growling to remind me!
Ate a VERY early breakfast. Be back in a while.

Lolly said...

Paula, having problems downloading a pic to our album. It times out or downright refuses to accept my picture. Not a big file!

stronghunter said...

Hi,

I got a half-way decent picture of this afternoon's visit. I will post it to my blog, and somebody can post it to the album from there if you wish.

stronghunter said...

Have to go. BBL.

floralgirl said...

Hurts the eyes, indeed. Gotta shut cam page down.

paula eagleholic said...

I know it can be testy at times, Lolly. Just try again after a little while...

Lynne2 said...

OK, back from interview and store. It went well, I think. I like the place a lot! The vet used to work at another nice hospital for years before moving to CA. Then they moved back here about 2 years due to wife's job. He decided to open his own clinic. So it's only been in operation for 1 and a half years but is doing really well. The staff all started with him at the other place and came to work for him in the new place which I think speaks volumes. I am the first and only person so far ever interviewed for a job there! They will be interviewing over the next 2 weeks and will make a decision. One of the receptionists is moving out of state and hers is the position opening.

Daisy had NOT eaten yet...UGH. And this morning I left her to go to the bathroom and when I came back down she had bitten through a strand of lights on the tree. Double UGH! She hasn't done a single bad thing at all, and I am just grateful that the lights were not plugged in.

floralgirl said...

Sounds good, Lynne. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Guess Daisy is a little stressed out. She'll eat when she gets hungry. Just make sure she's drinking water.

grannyblt said...

Lynne2 you just interviewed for my dream job. I hope it works out for you.

Still snowing here in western PA--it has been since Wednesday night. I think we have about 10 inches.

No eagle sightings for me today. I spent 2+ hours in the dentists chair--new crown.
Chicken and dumplings for dinner.

Lynne2 said...

Hey Lynne1 !

I was born in Western Pa, Mckeesport....I saw where you guys were getting a lot of snow!

Oh, guess what black and tan hound dog just tried to steal my peanut butter sandwich, the big faker! I let her have a small piece and then she ate some dog food....not much, but a good start anyway!

PA Nana said...

eagle!!

Lynne2 said...

She has been drinking plenty of water Megan, thank goodness...I think it's still just stress.

PA Nana said...

OOOhh, those black lines make viewing the nest almost impossible!

paula eagleholic said...

2 eagles.....and I can see them
!

PA Nana said...

I think there are 2 eagles in the nest. Hard to tell with the split screen.

Is no one else seeing this??

PA Nana said...

Hi Paula. Thought I was alone

PA Nana said...

All gone....

paula eagleholic said...

They poofed!

NatureNut said...

I missed the Birds Boo Hoo. It's a wonder you could see them---had 4 lines running this time!

In a few minutes I'll post the cool little bird from EENet cam last night & a local wren.....

Costume Lady said...

SHIRLEY, I posted your photo from the 3:54 visit to the Momster's Album:)

NatureNut said...

Put a few bird pics on. ???Went to Nook & NO block appeared at top saying "New Post". Had to pretend I was signing in again to get on Dashboard & then an upload window appeared??? DUH
Gotta do din din---BBL

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, I have bronchitis and they gave me an antibiotic. Supposed to take regular Mucinex in the morning and Mucinex DM at bedtime.

Mits said...

well make sure you follow Drs' orders:)

PA Nana said...

Sharon, so glad you saw a doctor. Now you can get better.

hedgie said...

Oh, Shar---glad you got seen and have the meds! I was afraid that it was going to be pneumonia, so you caught it in time! Now get lots of rest, and eat (feed a cold!!) soothing stuff like chicken soup! And stay warm!

Lynne, sounds like you were really impressed with the job. Hope they realize what a smart, experienced person you are and give you the job!!

Oh-oh, Daisy----Strike 1!!! Kidding, of course....maybe she never saw a Christmas tree or lights before! TG they weren't on!!!
And the first nibble will surely lead to a full meal!

Cleaning is done. Some laundry finished. Just ate and feel a panda nap coming on....y-a-w-n!

Had a near catastrophe today. Fan under floor vent over woodstove room died. Bill came to replace it (I keep a spare on hand!) and almost fell off the stool when the fence-post staple he was pulling out of the joist gave way. I grabbed his belt which maybe helped. Hit his head on a joist and scraped off some skin, and his hand smashed into AC vent hose (don't think it did any damage), but at least he didn't do a head-dive to the floor!!

hedgie said...

Cute avatar, Diann!!
Good to see Lynne1 drop in to visit. Can you imagine having snow every day for so many days?? Ugh! So sorry, grannyblt!
Wonder what Gwen from SC is up to? Haven't seen her in a while. And, of course, Candy and Anne Marie seem to spend their time on FB...:(

hedgie said...

Heading for sofa for awhile. BBL.

Costume Lady said...

Lynn, I think Bill just wanted
some TLC from his favorite Nurse;)
Did you wrap him up in bandages and give him a big hug?

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Took a panda nap after lunch. Sis-in-law just dropped by to talk. Gotta eat some quick dinner, get a shower, and head out to school. Thank God it hasn't snowed here yet! Did get a glimpse of a silver, sparkly UFO, though! Flying too high to catch, darn it.
Well, I'll be back after school. So glad you got some good meds, Sharon! That's good. Later, alligators! :o]

Preparing a yummy dinner...pork with Gorgonzola sauce to have with the left over 4 cheese risotto. Also steaming some asparagus. This is a pregame dinner. Game starts soon, will not be on much this evening.

GOFROGS!

ceil said...

Maybe if it turns north it will go to Oregon and my son can send it back. Evening all.

Mits said...

I saw it in Finland this a.m.;)

ceil said...

Around the world it is going.

Mits said...

probably will end up in an osprey nest, they like shiny things

Mema Jo said...

Sharon I am so happy that you are now going to be all better shortly.
Lynne - here's rooting for you and the new job!
Diann - love the Snowlady avatar or is that really a pot for the hat?? lol

The moose are bedding down in their Snow Beds. Brrrrr !

Mema Jo said...

Diego has claimed his mother's Garden spot as his favorite for sleeping. I would still like to see him going up the log to get to it.

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - your pregame dinner sounds like a winner to me. I have a purple frog but not the species your team has.

ceil said...

I am off to watch TV

hedgie said...

Bye, Ceil......well if that crazy garland went from CA to Finland, it is really sailing fast!! Too bad it missed Oregon!
Andy, if YOU get snow, we will know there's no such thing as global warming, right?? Hope you fall back into the school routine easily after your nice long break!
Wanda----no bandages, but hugs and kisses for sure!!!
Yep, Lolly---GO FROGS!!!! Even tho' I still don't understand why they call a horned-toad a FROG!!!!!

hedgie said...

Will tell a little tale on me: when I went to TX with a classmate one summer during college, I "smuggled" a horned-toad home on the plane!! He lived for several years!! But can't for the life of me remember what I named him.

Lolly said...

Bald eagle flying at game!

Lolly said...

Oh, wow! They just showed him on the handlers hand. He had his wings spread!

Lolly said...

This is a good omen! Pregame show has been good!

Mema Jo said...

The deer on ESPN (which has run off) had a broken left front leg. Kept waiting to see some weight being put on it but when it ran off it was going good on just 3 legs.

Costume Lady said...

Lolly, your game sounds like so much fun for you and then you have Jack's team to look forward to playing...ain't life grand?!:)

Jo, and some of you others, I am so looking forward to our TUESDAY TV NITE coming back tomorrow with a new stories. The Good Wife look like it's got a good one going.

Mema Jo said...

That is sure happy news, Wanda. I was real disappointed this evening to see all reruns.

Costume Lady said...

SHARON, you sweet thing, I'm so glad you got thyself to the doctor today and are on the mend. Now we can all sleep better tonight, knowing you may be sleeping better!

Mits said...

well I was hoping for House to return tonight but the football game is on Fox:(

NatureNut said...

Guess we'll have to check any Finland cams that work for a Fast Silver streak!!! LOL And I guess it's too late to have my San Diego cousin & friends in Utah & Oregon look for it!
Now I get the TCU Frog thing~~~~it's a horned toad!!!Sounds like it should be an exciting game.
Sharon, thank goodness you got to Dr. at last! Hope you'll be feeling better soon.It did seem like my bronchitis cough lasted longer than a regular cold, but that too shall pass. ☺

Mits said...

deer at Pix

Mits said...

Loretta, that garland can turn on a dime, and head back to the states

hedgie said...

Yep, I was going to tell y'all about new episodes tomorrow night!

Lolly, broadcaster just said this is TCU's biggest game in 50 yrs.!! Guess not much bowl experience, huh?

Mema Jo said...

We best keep a check on the Catalina Island's nests for that Silver streak with the green garland tail!

Judie said...

Good evening, everyone.

Lynne, I do hope the vet has the good sense to select you. What an asset you will be. Also, at least Daisy chose a non-electrified tree and I think a little bit of food is just the beginning of feeling comfortable.

Andy, hope school was good tonight. Let us know about the teacher and workload.

Thanks, Loretta.

Wanda, thanks for reminding me it was Glo and Savannah. Had a halfsheimer's moment.

Lynn, glad Bill was not seriously injured -- only just enough to get some TLC.

Sharon, glad you saw a doctor and no have meds to get that mess cleared out. Stay in, stay warm, and chicken soup for the soul!

Well, good night everyone. Turning my light off but leaving the night light on for others coming in.

Hi Jo!

Lolly said...

TCU has played in many bowls and have played the last few years in bowls, but this is the first BCS bowl. They were Natl champs in the 30's.

Mema Jo said...

Good Night Judie!

hedgie said...

Judie....hope I caught you before you go----how are you feeling??? Better, I hope! When do classes start again for you? Hope you have a little more of a break! Sleep tight!

hedgie said...

What's a BCS bowl, Lolly?

stronghunter said...

Good night Judie!

I am about ready to go to bed myself. Very tired.

We had a German shepherd once that bit an electric cord, and, when she got shocked, she barked at the cord and bit it again before we could stop her. In her puppyhood, she bit and chewed many things-- every pair of leather gloves I owned and their replacements, the control to the water heater, the stair rail for the basement steps, etc., etc. She actually drained the water heater and turned it off before demolishing the control thingy. She also felled several small trees with her teeth. She would just walk by a tree and snap it in two.

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie - BCS stands for
Bowl Championship Series

That is what I found when googled...

Mema Jo said...

Keeping an eye on Lolly's game on my Sports MSN.....
2 qtr and Boise is up 7-0

Come on you Frogs - Get Hoppin'

stronghunter said...

Okay, I do have a teacher story.

I had a student who told me today that it was not fair for me to deduct points for mistakes on her research paper just because I know more than she does.

Mema Jo said...

Whoa Shirley! Did you ask her what she thought you were being paid to do?

I hope you didn't laugh out loud in front of her!!! lol

T-Bird said...

Hey folks. I hope everyone has had a good day.

Mema Jo said...

So far so good, Thelma. What about your day. Are you feeling better
or do you need a visit to ER......?

T-Bird said...

No Mema Jo, not me. I'm feeling better. My first real day back to work.

T-Bird said...

Thanks Mema Jo for the BCS standing site. WV number 16 isn't bad.

stronghunter said...

Jo, I told her that I want her to come see me tomorrow for a private conversation.

stronghunter said...

I think we need to discuss the mistakes that cost her points. She got an A-. I wasn't that hard on her.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley I admire your professionalism
in handling your students. Great!

T-Bird I am glad you have mended - you probably had that stomach virus.

stronghunter said...

You are kind, Jo.

Sharon, I do hope you are going to be much better very soon.

Lolly, hope your team is successful.

PA Nana said...

Good evening everyone. Hope your day has been good.

With all the snow "men" I had to find something for my new winter avatar. There is free clipart online so I copied a couple for the winter and this struck me funny.

Yes, Jo, I think that is a "pot" on her head. But she also has a mop in her hand - not so funny.

... later

PA Nana said...

Shirley you are very diplomatic with your students and I hope they appreciate it.

Thelma, so glad you're feeling better. Now Sharon must get better too.

Mema Jo said...

Diann - I love the snowlady!

Mema Jo said...

Halftime at Lolly's game
Boise 10 TCU 7

Come on Frogs - You can do it!

Mema Jo said...

For those of you who do not have FB

Dianne Cooper commented on Deb Palmer's wall post:

"Thanks to all of you. Amanda and I are going to Vermillion on the 14th to the 18th. We are flying in late Thursday and will have all day Fri, Sat, Sun to get things packed up. I am currently busy watching BSU again TCU. I know one of you is a horned frog but I and my family are Broncos. It has been a fun game so far. Dianne"

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Went to a meeting, came home, talked on the phone until now and going to bed. Hopefully this little pillow I have will help me hold my belly together!
