Monday

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

SPLIT

EAGLE STILL IN OUR NEST

Mema Jo said...

Not bragging but there aren't any lines or interference. Maybe John
was down fixing the cable.....

Mema Jo said...

POOF MT NEST

stronghunter said...

Poof

Mema Jo said...

Hey there Shirley. You still at school?

hedgie said...

So we made another split, huh???
Wow, nice to see a clear cam!!!
Too bad it's empty...;(

hedgie said...

Shirley, meant to tell you---that young lady you dealt with yesterday sure has alot to learn!!! If she thinks you're tough, she'll really be shocked when she gets to college!!!

hedgie said...

I am bumbed----half a string of lights on the tree is burned out.....since one bulb going out does NOT affect the string, it doesn't sound good, does it?? Can't even get to the fuse-thing on the plug without knocking off ornaments, so..........guess it's trying to tell me it's time to start putting things away...argh!

paula eagleholic said...

I see a clear pic! MT nest, but that's OK...hope they got it fixed!

stronghunter said...

I am still at school. Kids just left. I will be going soon. I have to go to my doctor's to pick up some freebie bottles of pills. Thank goodness for free samples!

My employer and my insurance company are trying to figure out if the deductable is supposed to start over now or not--$1,500 worth of deductable at stake. In the meantime, I'm taking the freebie bottles of pills.

paula eagleholic said...

Freebies are good, Shirley.

stronghunter said...

Yes, Lynn, lots of them have much to learn. Some days it gets frustrating.

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - first of a new year does NOT
always mean it the new insurance coverage period. Hubby's is always July
which starts a new fiscal year. Insurance co should know simply by looking at date of insurance year - the
open enrollment.......

stronghunter said...

At least she thinks I know more than she does. That's something.

JohnNCTC said...

Greetings,
We worked through the entire system, starting at the tree, then back to the production building. We found and fixed the problem. The power transformer on the microwave receiver was failing. We replaced the transformer. Have a great day.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Thank you John!

floralgirl said...

Well thanks, John, the picture is certainly much improved!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - freebie meds do the same for you as those you have to pay for.
I'm thankful for Drs who hand them out.
Well it is usually the nurses or staff that say "here - lol

stronghunter said...

Yes, our policy started in Oct. We had $1,500 deductible, which we were told would carry over into 2010, and our employer paid the deductible--put it into an account for us as an incentive for us to select that plan, but when I went in to pick up my new prescription in January, the insurance company says there's another $1,500 deductible, and there is no carryover.

Our people say there is supposed to be a carryover and they have it in writing. I'm waiting for them to settle it, but free pills will make the wait easier. I have already used up almost all of the $1,500, and had met the deductible.

stronghunter said...

Yes, Lynn, it is the nurses taking care of it.

Gotta go!

Mema Jo said...

John - lots of applause for your endeavoring Spirit to get the cam up/running for all of us eagle watchers. Somehow I just knew at 3:19 that you had been there and fixed it all! Thanks!

Mema Jo said...

I know BWE has a nice egg cup BUT
thank goodness ours looks soooooo
deep - another Hidey this year I guess. Ever since Belle and Liberty's loss in 2007 - the walls of their nest have gone higher and the egg well has gone lower!

Mits said...

thank you, John:), looks good

Mema Jo said...

Pook's Place is getting to be a very popular spot! She has a herd in her yard and probably needs more feed pans.
The pics she posted are great......

Mits said...

both eagles at Maine

paula eagleholic said...

By golly, it must be fixed...still looks good!

magpie said...

Cam looks Great, like a Heart Nest again.

Ditto that round of applause for John and all the technicians which most likely included Steve too...don't think any day before today was suitable for man or beast to be outside fooling with anything !

Thank You NCTC !

magpie said...

Mother Nature, is most powerful, and we and the birds and the trees and everything else is surely at her mercy

paula eagleholic said...

John & NCTC Crew -

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication! It's not easy to diagnose technology issues at times!

The pic looks wonderful, thanks so much!

magpie said...

Glad you saw the Eagles earlier, Jo - - must have been a real sight for sore eyes

paula eagleholic said...

Eagle backside still visible at BWO...

Now watch, Lib & Belle will stand us up tonight!

magpie said...

well I am doing something rare, cooking, so I might miss them anyway. Got to fix meals to take to work the next two days and then some

magpie said...

Okay stew is simmering, so I can roost at the Roost and watch for some Eagle Action

I put some coffee in one of my Eagle Mugs, Hint Hint Belle and Liberty !!

floralgirl said...

Ok, any minute now....... or maybe not....

Mits said...

I just left the room, and that did not work:(

magpie said...

I think that could be fresh morsel at BWE for today, looked like feathers were all strewn around when the cam was still dark this morning. jmho

magpie said...

Jo needs to go to the Loo !
that might work

magpie said...

I'm drinking my coffee very slowly

magpie said...

was a time when T-Bird or Loretta would pop in that the eagles would make an appearance....
hint hint

magpie said...

desperate nest wives, that's us !

magpie said...

unless they are cautious about coming around because of the people action this afternoon
:(
well, guess it would be worth it

magpie said...

like Wanda says, it's like watching grass grow!

Costume Lady said...

Anytime, you two LOVE BIRDS! We are waiting for you to make your last visit of the day!

magpie said...

I just put my Eagle Beads and Scarf on ☺

Costume Lady said...

That's really good, Margy...DESPERATE NEST WIVES! lol

magpie said...

now I am holding my gold card, feather, cup key ring and glow stick from Open House and I am about to use the hand sanitizer

magpie said...

sure can tell the days are getting longer Thank Goodness, Think Spring!

floralgirl said...

Yep, cause it's 5 o'clock and still light out!

Mits said...

Yeah, I'm thinking how much I would like to be in Arizona:)

Costume Lady said...

You may be right, Margy. All the people activity at the nest sight may have disturbed them for a while:(
Greatful for the good, clear cam. But sooooo sad that we have not been given a LIVE FEED! I feel betrayed...sorta like the RED-HEADED STEP CHILD:(

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

T-Bird has gone to Roanoke for an appointment but I am watching.

magpie said...

Oh, it will be along, Wanda...remember Christmas -
Believe in the Magic ☺

floralgirl said...

No worries, those two are quite used to human activity around the nest area:)

magpie said...

Well okay then Sharon!
Bring on the good vibes !
Cough a little why dontcha, maybe they will come in a'flyin' ☺

Costume Lady said...

MARGY, YOU are hysterical. Sitting there with your broken eagle beads and your beautiful scarf...I am LMBO! I do have a new eagle necklace for you, if I can remember to get it to you:)

magpie said...

We're gonna need ice packs for computer neck here in a little while - at least I will

paula eagleholic said...

LMOA here too...

Not gonna say it yet...

paula eagleholic said...

Are your talons lost Margy? Maybe The Captain could bring over some eagle talons for you!

magpie said...

Yep, just one set of talons, I like your suggestion Paula !
(but I do have the feetsies here somewhere, and some superglue )

magpie said...

I think I'll put my bibs back on

magpie said...

Let's ALL go to the Loo !

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
I'm finally getting here today--have been panda napping almost all morning! Did get a lot of laundry done, though.
Wow, thank you, John and the NCTC crew, for fixing the still cam! Looks great! Really appreciate your efforts!
Gosh, was surprised and shocked this morning to see that a car and a freight train had collided at Orangethorpe and Rose Drive in Anaheim Hills! The two teens in the car are in the hospital in critical condition, but looking at the remains of their car, they're fortunate to even be alive! Gave me a real chill, because I go thru that intersection every time I go to the bank, and often when I go to Sis-in-law's house. Glad I wasn't around for that one!
Well, gotta go get ready to--you guessed it--go to the bank, the post office, and later, to school tonight.
Sharon, hope you get to feeling MUCH better, now that the meds are having a chance to kick in! Hang in there! (((HUGS)))!
Will be back after school tonight.
Gonna get some coffee--need to feel much more awake! Take care in all that freezing cold back there! I tend to feel cold all the time, even though it's in the 70s here today. Think it's one of my blood pressure meds. Gotta ask the Dr. about that! Don't know how I'd function where it's really cold! Anyway, you guys be careful, and I'll be back later tonight. Love you guys! :o]

magpie said...

and lock the door by mistake that should do it !

Mits said...

well i need to stretch, that will bring them in..bbs

floralgirl said...

It's gonna get awful crowded in the loo....

magpie said...

You stay and take pictures Megan ☺

Wanda needs to go out to the Eagle Express I guess...

Good Luck Andrea on your evening...

magpie said...

Well alrighty now! Hot Eagles !

paula eagleholic said...

They are here!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Geesh, thought I was late to the party!

magpie said...

COME BACK HELEN!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Now THAT sure is a sight for sore eyes!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Up close!

Costume Lady said...

Oh, yeah, I almost missed it!

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

MMIIITTTTSSSSS!!! Hurry, they are here!!

paula eagleholic said...

Get out of the LOO!!

floralgirl said...

The door may be locked...

magpie said...

check out those black talon-nails

paula eagleholic said...

One poofed

paula eagleholic said...

other poofed!

Costume Lady said...

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

magpie said...

Night Light brighter than ever...just like it was back in November......


Beautiful visit, I will put up a few pictures on the album

floralgirl said...

OMG- that is exactly what I just typed Wanda, but got the conflicting edit screen....

magpie said...

I suppose, they might come back...sometimes they do

Costume Lady said...

GREAT MINDS, MEGAN:)

magpie said...

Sissy
Are you well, ill, recovering, getting anything? Inquiring minds can't remember !

magpie said...

LW is completely still, there should be some action there pretty soon also

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

I am in pretty good shape for the shape I am in!! Me and Mattie went to the gym and got a little bit of exercise. Too blessed to be stressed!!

Mits said...

I knew I would miss them....:(

Mits said...

was just talking to our son...our litle eaglet Maggie needs your prayers...she is in the hospital with pneumonia.:(

magpie said...

Okay, then, that sounds g☺☺d Sissy!

I only got three pictures up, unless I was labeling them wrong, a strong possibilty....

Got to check on the stew, and probably test drive it, and make a few phone calls.

TTFN xoxo ☺ ♥

floralgirl said...

Aw, Mits, certainly keeping her and her parents in my thoughts.

magpie said...

Oh Mits.....
I am sorry to hear this....prayers for sure, right now!

Keep us posted.....when you can
Prayers for the rest of the family too (( Hugs ))

paula eagleholic said...

Heading home, see ya later!

paula eagleholic said...

OH, Mits, will certainly send healing thoughts Maggie's way!

hedgie said...

10 panda cubs born after earthquake all in Shanghai today for a 6 month exhibition....will then be returned to the wild.

Eagle-Eyed's Sissy said...

Oh, Mits!!! Bless her little heart! Many, many prayers heading ya'lls way!!!!! ((((((HUG)))))) Maggie!!

hedgie said...

Oh, no, MIts....poor Maggie! Not fair for a little one to have to go through that---and in hospital stinks big time! Lots of prayers and hugs to Maggie and the rest of the family. Makes me want to cry for her.

hedgie said...

Andy, hate to hear about the young people injured. DC area had a youngster killed by a train this morning....golly, kids just don't understand the danger of getting too close.

movin said...

I ran across this moving story on AOL.

Also, I just noticed Bai & Diego in an interesting pose.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim



Guardian "Angel"

ceil said...

Lynn it was a 14 year old girl killed by an Amtrak train in Essex Maryland. The train was coming from DC to Boston
Please do keep our Maggie in your prayers. She is so special to us.

hedgie said...

Jim, that piece was just on our news a little while ago! Brave doggie!!!
Oh, Ceil, I thought it was a 6 yr. old...

Costume Lady said...

BIG PRAYERS for little MAGGIE! I know her whole family is hurting right now...prayers for all of them!

stronghunter said...

Helen, prayers for Maggie.

Just got home, fixing supper.

BBL.

Costume Lady said...

Need to hear from Lynne...is Daisy eating now? Hope the Christmas tree is down now:) We need updates and photos of that new family member, Lynne.

Have we heard from Sharon today?
I can't remember. My brain has had frost on it for a week now:)

Lolly said...

Hi all! First off...prayers going up for Maggie, as well as prayers for the family.

Read through the afternoon waiting for a visit. You all were a riot!!

Jack and I spent the afternoon moving all the plants from the greenhouse to his shop. We were just afraid we could not keep it warm enough for the plants. Then we tackled taking down all the outdoor decorations. Glad that job is done. Let you be the first to hear me say...I think we need to cut back on outdoor decorations. Whew! What a job.

Jack is presently building a fire. Getting ready for an evening of football!

Lolly said...

Oh, and forgot to say

THANK YOU NCTC for fixing the cam!!!!!!!!

Wahoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lolly said...

Now just think how happy we would be with a live cam.

Mema Jo said...

Lots of prayers for our little eaglet Maggie. I remember we gave her that title when she was born. Prayers for all her family - grandparents included!
May her little lungs heal quickly so she can get back home and ride that yellow school bus!

Mema Jo said...

It's great to look at the Momster album and see the clear pics from the nest visits.
Thank you again and again John & crew.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Sharon is still alive and not sure if I am willing to say well but I am alive. Coughing is still a little tough on the gut but I am okay. I did get to see our eagles this evening on a clear cam! That was great!

Our little eaglet Maggie has lots of prayers going up for her! She was our very first little eaglet (well, of the human kind anyway)! :)

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

So I got a tweet from Pat today about this pic so I thought I would put it back on for a day or 2. He said this was shot for a fitness magazine but was never used. Told him that was okay, I use it all the time! :)

Mema Jo said...

Watching a short video on my MSN.com of baby Lemurs. Suzanne would love seeing them

movin said...

I just added Maggie to my prayer list and happy to do it. I hope she's up and running again very soon.

I discovered I had written "Maggie" on it a few days ago, but the ole memory isn't telling me which she is. This little Maggie wasn't mentioned before in the last few days, was she??


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Mema Jo said...

That avatar might get you better faster, Sharon.

Mema Jo said...

No Jim - tonight is the first Helen has mentioned Maggie.
I am thinking you may refer to Margy aka Magpie as Maggie...... That's the only connection I can think of.

PA Nana said...

Hi everyone; blessings around. Prayers for all those feeling poorly, especially little Maggie.
Sharon, glad you are on the way to recovery.

Lolly, buzzzzzz love the bee.

Tonight is the good night of tv so I probably won't be on until real late. So if we have any night owls I'll catch yu later. For the others have a nice evening. God bless!

stronghunter said...

Jo, I think I goofed awhile ago--you were the one who said the nurses usually give out the free pills.

Things worked out very nicely regarding my pills. I was rushing along to get to the doctor's office before they closed at 5:00, and then remembered to turn on my cell phone. I had a message and then a phone call from our central office. They have worked things out with the insurance company. Can you believe it? The insurance company was wrong. E-mail will go out to everybody tomorrow. Yea!

Then I called the doctor's office to tell them I was on the way. I got there at exactly 5:00, and a woman met me at the door with my pills. She said she was trying to catch me so I did not even have to get out of my car. Yea again!

Lynne2 said...

Evenin' all! Been a little under the weather again today UGH.

Prayers for little Maggie....I guess I'm lucky I'm not that sick but I sure wish she wasn't either.

Glad to see our cam is back up and running....thanks so much John!

Daisy is finally eating really well now!

Wow, I'm brilliant on Jeopardy tonite!

Going to the shower and relax and hit the rack early tonight. WOW I REALLY AM TEARING UP ON JEOPARDY!!! WOO HOO!

If I don't get back, have a good night all, lots of prayers going out to you all!

Mema Jo said...

Shirley - It sure restores you faith in things! Drs office - she is a keeper!
Insurance coverage can cause soooooo much stress - whether meds or office visits.......

stronghunter said...

Lynne, you get Jeopardy before we do; it's 7:30 Eastern Time.

stronghunter said...

Yes, Jo. When I got home there was a message on my answering machine here from the central office about the insurance issue, and the woman gave me her cell phone number, home number, and ended up staying late at work waiting to hear from me. She called me again while I was at the doctor's office when she realized I couldn't call her after the switchboard was closed. She was either mighty dedicated or mighty worried about an uprising of employees--maybe both. She also has the same plan herself. That doesn't hurt either.

Costume Lady said...

Yes, Diann, this is THE TV night. I think the great majority of us watch NCIS, NCIS-L.A. and The Good Wife. All new episodes! Hooray!!

ceil said...

Shirley glad all has worked out for you. Pharmacy cannot fill my vytorin until doctor tells them why I am on it. Damn insurance companies. It is not like it is a drug drug. Pharmacist gave me a few until we get it straigten out tomorrow
Lynn hope you start to feel better.

stronghunter said...

It is frustrating to say the least, Ceil. I was pretty frustrated too. That is why I am so relieved.

ceil said...

Sorry forgot the e on Lynn
JOHN THANKS FOR FIXING THE CAM.

Mema Jo said...

I watch Wheel of Fortune at 7:00
Then I watch Jeopardy at 7:30

I could do it reverse - it's the channels.......

Yes tonight is the new shows
I sure hope NCIS gets better
I love love NCIS:LA
And the Good Wife has been good since
it started...........

ceil said...

Wanda I sent you a picture of Kev, Annie and the children. One of these days I will figure out how to post them. Thanks. Kevin sent a picture of Maggie with the oxygen and as always she is smiling.

ceil said...

going to say good night to everyone
Thanks for the prayers for Maggie

Costume Lady said...

Is Kevin or Annie staying all night with Maggie or will she be OK on her own? Poor little sweetie:(

Mema Jo said...

I am watching all those TV shows BUT
at each commercial (of which there will be many) I will run out here to the computer and check out on my Gametrax the Atlanta Georgia Tech and Iowa City.

Go you Yellow Jackets!

Miami Mostly clear. Colder. Lows 33 to 37. Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph in the evening becoming light and variable.

Mema Jo said...

Lolly - you fixed a very special dinner last evening before your game...
What did you fix tonight before Jack's
game....... Just wondering.....

stronghunter said...

I watch Wheel and Jeopardy on the same schedule, Jo. Don't know where I could get it in reverse order.

At one time, we got it on a Richmond channel, and it ran just a few seconds ahead of the one on the DC channel. Kathryn had fun fooling Rus with that because he couldn't figure out how she knew all of the answers. (He was watching in a different room.)

stronghunter said...

Have to get in the recliner and close my eyes. BBL--maybe.

Mema Jo said...

Off to the TV
Check you all out on commercial times

NatureNut said...

Evening Everyone. Only read a tiny bit of this page, but see John did his techie thing & cam is working!!! THX!!!
Margy, I popped into the Park today & the Eagles were there!!!None at the nest, but right before the office a juvie was perched in tree! Rolled down window & got his/hers pic! A little later, saw a juvie flying toward that same area--don't know if another--& at first looked like it was carrying a stick! then it turned & looked like long, thin stick was out past it's tail. I wonder if it had a GPS?? Will never know or perhaps it just hit some twigs. It's pic is very dark, but when I dwnld, will check.Saw an adult there twice, but it took off and flew up the river. Wings looked like jumbo jet!!! Part 2 will be After lunch! ☺

NatureNut said...

Eagles, Part 2 LOL-----
After lunch adult was in tree near Vis. Ctr. again & when I went out, it flew downriver & perched on the osprey platform!! By the time I walked to there, it flew across rive. The gulls were circling & I saw it sirring on what I thought might be a meal. Checked thru outdoor telescope & it was sitting on ridge of ice!
Before I left, it was back in tree near office, but coworker went out & it flew away!
Other cool birds today---a cardinal sitting in sun was so bright, almost orange!!!
So that's why I went today! It was TOO early, TOO cold, & NO internet, but was worth it! ☺

movin said...

Bai just laid down and threatened to roll over on Diego!

He's awake and playing now.


C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

ceil said...

Wanda one of them will be staying with Maggie.
This is not the first time in her 3 years that she has been in the hospital. They stay with her.

NatureNut said...

Saw some other comments & Helen, my prayers are for sweet, special Maggie & all the family ♥

movin said...


Diego is shadow sparring with imaginary bears now.

It's getting dark, and I think he's going to spar himself to sleep.

C(°ٿ°)D

Jim

Judie said...

John, many thanks for the work on the cam. You and all the folks at NCTC are sooooo appreciated.

SHEETS! SHEETS! SHEETS!
Oh, I am so happy I went to Tarjay today. Not only did I find some really nice sheets but I drove myself. Leg got a bit tired walking but I think this is good progress. Just wish the dang swelling would go away.

Been working on syllabi all afternoon. Just goofed off too long and realized I need to get my academic butt in gear.

Prayer for Maggie's quick recovery.

Shirley, happy you got the meds all worked out with the insurance company.

Lynne, also most happy Daisy is eating. She must be feeling the love.

Well, time to find some food. Didn't even stop to eat today.

Later

hedgie said...

Shirley, Baltimore has Jeopardy on at 7---so maybe PA major cities do, too. I know my mom always got it at 7 in FL, and now 6 in MO!! Maybe only DC has it at 7:30!!!
Lynne---I think I got about 98% of Jeopardy right tonight---but not final----art is NOT my strong suit!!! Hope you feel better, glad that Daisy is eating, and keeping only positive thoughts about the job.

magpie said...

deer standing in snow at Pix Pa and eating....it snowed all last night there

hedgie said...

Mits said that Annie is staying with Maggie.
Shirley, glad your meds and insurance are all straightened out. Thank goodness some people do their jobs with sincerity!
Judie, so glad your Targee' venture was successful!! My girl was just thrilled with her sheets, too! Good that you are getting out, but don't overdo! So sorry you have to go back to school in a week.
Lowreeda, sounds like you had a great day. Would never have minded going to work if I had those kinds of experiences!

magpie said...

The deer are at least "ankle deep" in snow at Pix Pa...some very close up shots

Loretta, what a field trip, right at your own work place! Yay!

Glad to hear Daisy is eating, sorry to hear Lynne is feeling punk

Glad to hear about new sheets...wonder what kind and color, and hope the leg feels better pronto, or sooner, Judie

And of course, am following all the Maggie & Family news

magpie said...

and very happy how things have worked out for Shirley, and for that Angel at the doctor's office

..yup, never leave home without the cell phone....☺
I forget to turn my phone back on or volume back up after leaving work, drives me crazy when I miss something !

magpie said...

I know you had it...Shirley, I read that...
funny, I fell on the ice last night at James's - he was already inside and no one knew I had fallen.
Not hurt, just aggravated !

magpie said...

SHARON
How could a fashion magazine NOT USE that picture of Pat ???
They could sell birthday suits with that one

magpie said...

Here I thought that yellow jacket needed a jacket if they were playing in Georgia...
But, I guess it is a little cooler in Miami these days

Best wishes to the Yellow Jackets, not sure I can be able to watch, but I am rooting for Jack's team, Lolly, even though he does not like the Washington Redskins ☺

TTFN was lost on the phone for 90 mins on a family call that didn't suit me

magpie said...

when you tell someone something's too complicated, I wish they would just take your word for it!

just a concerned family member about something...but I meant what I said

magpie said...

going to load up some afternoon outdoor pictures
back later

hedgie said...

Margy, so glad you didn't hurt yourself in your tumble! That ice is really slick----I ALMOST went down yesterday morning, but luckily stayed upright!
Sorry about your bothersome call---some folks just are persistent in their way of thinking! Must stay firm with them!

stronghunter said...

Judie, you just reminded me that I have to do a syllabus too. I should be able to update the one from last year, but have to add that to my to-do list. I will have only a few English 12 dual enrollment students combined with an honors class, so I have to do a syllabus for the honors kids as well.

But have to finish this semester first. We get a 2-day turn-around at the end of the semsester. Not a lot of time.

Susan just e-mailed me to say that she will be coming to town to pick up some chinchillas in Fredereicksburg. I had seen on the news that a lot of animals were taken from a place where they weren't being cared for--she said there were 72 chinchillas in one cage. She says she plans to keep one and find homes for some of the others.

stronghunter said...

Happy to see that you got new sheets, Judie. Target is one of my favorite stores.

Margy, please be careful out there! It really is slippery.

Kind of questions I get asked in class: "Mrs. Phillips, is it going to snow on Thursday?" Well, it does look like it could. Just saw that on tonight's weather forecast.

You all did better than I did on Jeopardy. I certainly did not get 98%! I am impressed. And, no, I did not get the last one. Kind of funny, though.

stronghunter said...

Getting ready to launch into The Rime of the Ancient Mariner tomorrow. I like that poem--especially these lines:



Farewell, farewell! but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest!
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.

He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.

hedgie said...

LOL, Shirley....can you imagine anyone paying for a painting like that???? C-r-a-z-y!!!

stronghunter said...

I mean semester and Fredericksburg. Time to quit. Good night.

stronghunter said...

I saw something like that in the Chicago Museum of Art once. Three canvases--one was red, one was white, and one was blue. Strange.

magpie said...

Hope I didn't miss you Shirley


Good Night ! Beautiful except from the Rims...
xoxo (( hugs )) ♥

magpie said...

Yeah I stayed firm, second time around Lynn...then it was "okay, have a nice day tomorrow, bye...."

:(

sorry, sometimes a gal just has to vent
was lost on E-M page, now to get to my pictures, nice pileated Woodpecker coming up when I'm done

stronghunter said...

Still here, Margy. Never did really get into that recliner.

magpie said...

GRRRR ! Excerpt not Except !

stronghunter said...

This is a good place to vent, Margy.

Lolly said...

Jo, we had bacon cheeseburgers. I was craving one! lol Jack grilled them on the grill.

Lolly said...

Game not going to well so far.

Margy, you are very kind to cheer on Jack's team! He hasn't been very nice, now has he? (Concerning the Redskins!)

Do not like the halftime. We like marching bands!

Judie said...

Time to get some sleep on my new SHEETS.

Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Hope everyone has pleasant eagle dreams.

Doe, wearing magical booties, is still eating in the wind and snow at PA. Saw on news that horses somewhere nearby have been given blankets to help keep them warmwhen outside.

Oh, Lolly, it's okay that Jack hasn't been nice about the Skins-- everyone has to have a weakness. Cheers for the Yellow Jackets. Night.

stronghunter said...

Good night all. I have stayed up too late.

stronghunter said...

I like that Judie--everyone has to have a weakness.

Sleep well everyone.

magpie said...

Good Night Shirley and Judie...
I saw three beautiful horses with great blankets on while out today....wanted to take pictures, but, didn't really have the opportunity.

Also watched some Canada Geese along the creek....wondered why they weren't moving (two sets of two....) watched and watched, I think, they were decoys! I still don't know for sure, they might have been stuck in place on the icy bank

magpie said...

GT making a good push

Go Yellowjackets !

Mits said...

good night everyone, thanks for all the prayers, she did eat some applesauce earlier tonight.

magpie said...

Oh shucks....close but not close enough.....'fraid Jack will be a rambling wreck if things don't turn around.

Grilled Cheeseburgers....wow, that sounds awfully good !

magpie said...

I took pictures of those Geese, I am still trying to figure it out!

Mr. Pileated Woodpecker, a contortionist, is on Feathers, Fur and Miscellaneous

also some icy creek pictures and woodpecker and squirrel haunts

magpie said...

Prayers and Hugs for the Little One, siblings and all the Big Ones...xox ♥

Taking a break from TV - short break
So far shows have been good..
Good night to those hitting the hay ahead of me.
Jack - those Yellow Jackets only need a TD and a field goal to wrap this up!

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Mits for the update!
Eating applesauce sounds like a plus!
Prayers for Maggie!

hedgie said...

Good night Judie, Shirley, Jo and Mits.
Hope everyone rests well---batten down your hatches, as wind is picking up again!!

hedgie said...

Good pics, Margy! Love looking at the pileateds, but sure hate the damage they do! Where are the ducks/decoys???

magpie said...

Good Night. Precious Pals, from this Roost...
four fifteen comes around kinda early...back to work Wed and Thur for 12 each.
Lolly, I just can't stay up to watch the rest of the game, but I sure hope the Yellow Jackets take the win!

Prayers for wellness and healing, for all, especially for Little Eaglet Maggie...

God Bless Us, Every One
xo ☺ ♥

Mema Jo said...

I watched all three
Still like NCIS LA the best
Good Wife is 2nd choice.

Did you watch them all Lynn?

Mema Jo said...

Now this game is getting exciting - there's enough time for the Yellow Jackets to make a difference.

Mema Jo said...

Now that ball is going in the right direction......

Mema Jo said...

Oops! Balls headed in the wrong direction.

hedgie said...

Sorry, Jack----hopefully next year!
They sure can be proud to have made it to the bowl!
Yep, Jo, I watched them all!!!
Heading for tub....see you gals and guys in the morning light!!
Prayers going up for one and all.

Lolly said...

Not good! TCU and Tech should have played each other, then one of our teams would have won! lol

Mema Jo said...

Oh my! That was a heart breaker, Jack!

Lolly said...

Now we have gone straight to a recorded hockey game. No rest of the sports weary!!!!!!

Mema Jo said...

You have a good point there, Lolly.
You two take care!


Headed down the hallway....

Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's needs and for
Maggie to get 'all better'
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥

Lolly said...

Guess I need to go looking for my regular avatar.

NatureNut said...

Poor Jack & Yellow Jackets-----must be paybacks. LOL
Didn't realize it was this late. Been trying to fix my beutiful cardinal pic~~~~was a smear on window that messed up his face ? so there was no eye. Was on the shadey side, so patched him up a little.(I usually clean the windows by feeders, but think the Windex would freeze. Haven't even looked at eagles yet. Oh well, If I fiddle around long enough, might see something in Europe!!
I thought I heard Judie finally got to Sheets! ☺
For all those hitting the hay, Pleasant Feather Dreams & hope all illnesses disappear.

Lolly said...

We are about to spit!

Lolly said...

Hi Loweeda! What is the temp there?

Lolly said...

Nite Jo! Guess I will be sticking around for a little while as Jack is glued to the TV.

NatureNut said...

Let me check! I know it's below freezing I think you SHOULD spit since your teams lost!!
And then maybe we will Split!! LOL

Lolly said...

Think I will talk to myself long enought to SPLIT and then go to bed.

Lolly said...

It is 34 here but the huge artic front gets here tomorrow evening. We have lows expected around 13 and 14. Do NOT like that!

NatureNut said...

Out the kitchen window, says 31°, but it's up against the bricks, so might be a little warmer.
I did notice today that it wasn't as frigid. Tonight the wind is finally going away. But may be flurries TH into FRI!!!!

Lolly said...

SPLIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
