«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 990 Newer› Newest»Whoops! Looks like I did the split! And at this hour of the morning, too!
Whoo!
To change the subject, later today I need to load a couple of pictures from my camera to my laptop. We were really surprised at how much water is in the Santa Ana River! One day's rain made a noticeable difference. The water level had gone down after a couple of days of drying out, but now it's gone back up again. Not flood stage or anything, but noteworthy.
Took a picture of it. BTW, work WAS progressing on the bird sanctuary they are making at the River near us. Nothing going on now. Too much water in there to work on it.
Well, (yawn!) going back to bed now.
I see that the night light is on. The porch light and Christmas lights are on, too. Prayers said for everyone. The eye-scanner security (don't worry, Judie, you have SPECIAL clearance!) and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Sweet dreams of our eagles, everyone, and I'll talk to you later today. God bless, and good night/morning! Love you guys! :o]

Good early Morning Andy Good Morning Margy...my live feed is black and white lines. I even set my alarm so I could see the eagles today ha ha on me.
I think this antibotic isn't the right one but have 6 more days so maybe it will kick in.
Margy when I read your comment about "red Friday" you made me look at what shirt I had put on. I'm ok red apples. It was funny though...you saying me looking lol
So your working dayshift then back at midnight tonight. Your ringing in the New Year!!!by work work work.
Thanks Andy for information on that hawk...Still think it is a Cooper's JMO.
Prayers for Kendra and her family and friends. Prayers include all those with illness's and colds and those that are improving to continue like Judie and Brandon and Shirley and Diann with her pain.
I pray everyone has a nice and SAFE New Year's.
Have to go into town today to help Mom. I set up appointment with Ken the wonderful man that put her dish network in. ha ha Then I called her last evening and said Ken and me will be in there tomorrow at 10AM.
Good morning. ???? Is it? NO cams again/still. Stinks, doesn't it???
Margy, so sorry about you having to double back. Happy New Year to you, too! May 2011 bring only good things for us all!
Hi,
A quick good morning to everyone. Much to do today. I see the cam is down. Boo! I'll bet our eagles are busy at the nest right now.
I will see you later.
Andy, sounds like Emma is learning to mind much better than Mai is. The playful nipping is a real problem. Can't even hold her on my lap anymore. They say to just walk away when they start....but she follows and is then on my heels or legs or jumping to reach my hands. Spray bottle doesn't help---she LIKES the water mist on her face. Not sure what to do. I make the puppy ouch noises....and that only stops her for 2 seconds. I am tired of wearing bandaids!!! Help, Lynne, or dog nanny or Mr. Chavez!!!!!
Good Morning Hedgie-Lynn and Shirley ( :
HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVE DAY EVERYONE!!
I loved what Jo said about the feeties in her email lol
Lynn-Hedgie try going over to PetSmart and talking to the lady that helps do the training. I know she would have some answers. Boy she did when Dozer was a puppy and with Little Man. Call find out when she/he is in to talk in person to. Take Mai with you if you can if not just talk with him/her yourself.
Little Man actually has his degree from their and that mean't interacting with other DOGS!!!!!!
Is anyone else having trouble with the live feed? All I'm getting are black and white lines.
Sent Steve an email abut the cams.
Thanks, Hedgie. I'm anxious to start watching the eagles again!
Good Morning Susan sorry I can't stick around to talk.
Need to head to town.
take care be safe in travels
Happy New Year to EVERYONE
To all at NCTC trying to make this live feed work for us. I want to thank you for all the time you have spent this year and with the other cams over the years. I could not have learn't as much about eagles without your help and these cams and the blog.
I want to wish ALL AT NCTC A SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR ! GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU !! Thank You
Sent Steve an email about the cams being down and also asked if the zoom could be sacrificed for the infrared......here is his response:
Lynn,
Our expectation was that the infrared would work on this cam like on previous ones. There may be additional work to make it work better. The still cam is run through Denver and they often use holiday times to do necessary network maintenance on the entire FWS network, thus the fact that the still cam is turned off.
The cam in the tree will have to stay as it is, we are not able to go back up in the tree without consultation with our endangered species office. We pulled it off last year but don't want to do it again as the eagles saw Nu in the nest, and the tree is deteriorating pretty badly.
Nu was not able to get a turtle shell. He was in a body harness hanging from a 125 foot crane, it was snowing hard and the wind was blowing with 15 degree wind chill. Unfortunately with all those factors the shells were not in his mix, getting the camera installed and dead tree limbs trimmed were. I feel bad, but we are really lucky that we were able to install the camera at all. Remember the other camera in the tree had a short and was not working.
We all really appreciate your support, but you must understand that this project is a labor of love that is done by folks in addition to their normal work. Case in point, my wife is really irked at me right now because I am on leave, but am logged in the email system checking emails and essentially working.
Happy New Year. We'll continue to do the best we can with the time and resources available.
Steve
I for one, appreciate all your time and that of the crew to bring us this opportunity to observe the eagle nest.
Morning, all.
I see Lynn sent Steve an email about the live feed. I wonder if NCTC is off for the day?
Good Morning this Last Day of 2010
Thank you Steve for your reply & I for one of many do appreciate all that you and your staff do for the love of the eagles. Wishing you and your family a blessed year ahead.
Thank you Lynn for sending the message
I am off to spend most of the day with Samantha before her other set of grandparents take her home on Saturday. She was left behind to enjoy time with all her cousins due to the car being packed tight without a seat left for her!
I'll be back before the new year begins.
Enjoy your day, Jo. Poor Samantha----no room for her! Bet she didn't really mind a bit, did she??? Know you all will miss her when she leaves!
Lynn, I think she has been too busy spending the night at all different places that she really hasn't had time for any after thoughts.
I think Izzy keeps going into Sammy's bedroom saying "This is Sammy's room"
Like - Where is she, Mom!
You gotta love Sue on the Bear center:
"I woke way too early this morning and checked the den cam from my phone before getting up. I saw glowing eyes moving around. I watched off an on for half an hour as the eyes appeared and disappeared from sight. I finally saw what I was hoping to see -- 2 sets of glowing eyes! -- SM"
Whoo Hoo !
Andy, so glad hubby is in love with Emma! But I bet you knew that would happen!
LOL.....Izzy is a smart cookie!!!
Saw that on FB from Sue, too, Jo!!!
Sure hope the snow doesn't keep them from making adjustments today!
Yay, thanks for that report Jo!
Well, it is already looking better!! Daylight making the difference??? Don't see any slobber smears!
Dana, thanks for info about PetSmart. I will definitely check into it. I was going to enroll for Adunt & Community Ed class but it doesn't start until April!
Where did you do it? Hagerstown? I hope ours has it!
Oops--make that AduLt!!
Just killed another stoopid stinkbug. :(
Lynn, ta is he st pleasnt emilthat Steve hasve sent. Pleasure to read it, BUT, what he wa sying was, IT ISWHAT IT IS!
My keyboard s relly acting up, as you can se! I spraydit with air, but did no good. Won't be n ll it is fixed...drivinge crazy!
Hello Eagle Fans.
CLady..You just might need a new keyboard. Makes me laugh but it is still readable!
There are two adults on the TH nest and two on the WE nest.
Have not seen "H.P." though.
The Eagles4kids website is impressive. The children built the website with the assistance of their teacher it seems.
Third and fourth graders. I tried to think of what I did in school at that age. No cell phones, no color TV, and certainly no computers. Isn't that a trip?
According to the website, Petsmart here does have training classes. Will have to call to see when it is.
The Eagles4kids website has a lot of history on the progress of the cam installation.
It shows me what it takes, behind the scenes, to put something like this together...the cam and web page and etc.
Not to mention that eagles don't like their nests messed with.
Good morning! Looks like Wanda has already been celebrating the New Year. LOL She "sounded" a wee bit tipsy!
Loved Sue's comment on fb about the two sets of eyes. Have been watching. Think I have seen movement, but no sets of eyes.
No live cam for us and afraid it will be that way for the weekend. However, we KNOW there are eagles visiting the nest, so I am at peace.
Really appreciate Steve's response. I fully understand that they thought the infared would work and understand why they can not go back up. They even thought of the turtle shells! I for one like the new angle of the cam and the clear picture. Still do not understand why we do not have better color.?????? And, look forward to seeing them zoom in on a chick or two!
A big THANKS to NCTC!
Cool beans, as my aunt Betty used to say! Enrolled for a puppy class starting Fri. the 7th! 8 weeks. Class size never exceeds 8, averages 4. Good socialization opportunity! $115---not bad!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dana!!!
So...
in conclusion, after reading the candid response from Steve (via Hedgie,) I feel fortunate that we have a cam in WV in order to view some of nature's beauty. I am referring to Liberty and Belle.
So excited! Just saw a good look at Lily. Maybe they are in the area to work on the cam.
Lily has gone out of sight now but I got a good look at her face. I have missed seeing her. Welcome back Lily!
Yea, Lynn. Glad you do not have to wait for April. Mai does need the socialization as well as the training. Hope the weather cooperates so that you are able to safely get to classes.
I need help.
and...
the cam may have technical problems at the moment but the diligence that is communicated by Steve, that work is accomplished by volunteer efforts, will have it's rewards soon enough.
I need the info to remove the "security warning" message. I have been given it before and probably have it around here somewhere, but who knows where. I have been having to click on the warning for every post on this new laptop. Would appreciate help and will file the info this time. Promise! :)
I must say, I am enjoying my lazy morning today. Rushing to Denton and working all day at such a sad task has taken it out of me.
LOL Loved your comment to Joey, Wanda on the video. He did do a good (and funny)job on the Christmas video.
Wanda, try unplugging keyboard and then replug and reboot! Funny language therem kiddo!
The turtle shell retrieval was requested (by me) for Jo prior to the nest invasion, Lolly!
Eagles4Kids is amazing, BEagle! Kids are so smart with technology, aren't they?
Hahahaha. I signed in on the wrong thread. Still don't know how; I was looking at the latest pic of Liberty and Belle.
**************************
GOOD MORNING
AND
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE
**************************
Two eagles on Two Harbors nest and Wray is on the WE nest now.
Weather very cool for So Cal this A.M., and it will be a cool day throughout.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Lolly,
Is the warning coming up as part of the web browser? What web browser are you using?
Or is it coming up in a separate window?
Lolly, don't have it saved on laptop. Maybe Shar or Sissy will chime in. If not I'll get on PC later after I return from errands.
Neither of the cams is working for me this morning. Is that right??
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Yes, Jim. Scroll up and read my message from Steve. :(
Right, Jim. Both cams are cattywampus! Grrrr!
The warning pops up. Someone on here knows how to do the computer settings so that it allows the avatars and the warning does not have to be clicked at every post.
Thanks Lynn! I know I will get help when they see my post.
It is 11:30 here. Need to go eat some breakfast. LOL Have been sitting here all morning. Yikes!
BBL
One of the bears has poked its head out and is eating snow.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
Jim. The BWE is down the BWO is up.
Both the NCTC cams are down at the moment.
Enjoy your day.
I will check back for any eagle news.
Prayers for you. ♥
Heading out. BBL.
Lolly, go to tools> internet options> security > scroll down to miscellaneous > display mixed content > enable.
Happy New Years Eve everyone!
Good afternoon, everyone.
Happy New Year, Margy. Sorry you have to work. Hope it will be very uneventful work-wise.
I agree with Lolly. Wanda is tipsy-ing right along into 2011.
Lily made a brief appearance and looked a bit apprehensive. So nice to see her -- now for a sight of Hope.
Lynn, so glad you got Mai into a class. It will make adjustments easier for you both.
Okay, back to the books.
From FB-The camera work at the den is done. Mission accomplished! Lynn and Jim are cleaning off the solar panels at the WLNH shed. Solar panels are generating a bit of power even on this cloudy day. -- SM
Nice view of Lily! and Hope occasionally peeks out too.
Sharon, thank you! I knew you would come through with the info. Have accomplished the task and I promise to file it so I know where it is. LOL Thank you, again. When we start posting fast when eagles in the nest it is a pain to have to click the security warning.
i SAW Lily raking some dry grasses from inside the den to try to close the opening to the elements.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
HOPPY NEW YEARS EVE TO EVERYONE!!!
Finally got back to 'puterland. Harry Homeowner decided to replace a bathroom ceiling fan, tore things up, had attic staircase down!!
Want to do some vaking--cranberry bread and have black-eyed peas simmering. I usually get a can, but the one & only in the crocery was bent! Had to get the real ones--no frozen either! BBL
Hi Loweeda Bye Loweeda!
Happy vaking!
We are vooking a special dinner tonight, doing several special courses.
I am taking hopping john, which is black eyed peas, rice and some sort of pork, to my GF tomorrow.
Den cam looks good!
The den cam looks about like last year. lol Lily has already pulled some bedding up to block part of the cam. I like the zooming around but wonder if it will ever catch bears out of the den.
I have to say thank you again to Sharon. Enjoying posting quickly once again!
You are very welcome Lolly! :-)
Happy New Years Eve to you too, Dana!!
Bears are snoozin' :-)
I got the corned beef, the cabbage, the B/E peas, cornbread fixings, but forgot the potatoes. A run to the store will help that.
Got to see a good snoot shot and ear shot at the bear cam before snooze. : )
BBL
Oh, I better check to make sure I have a dime for the cabbage. Members of my family always check that. : )
Later.
dime for the cabbage?
Yea, me too. Spill the beans, er cabbage, BEagle.
Old Irish tradition from my mother. A dime to bring good luck in for the new year...cooked in with the cabbage.
Corned beef and cabbage with a dime cooked in there.
I'm back. Good to see that the Lily cam is situated nicely. From what I understood them to say, there is going to be a second cam outside that will show any out-of-den activity. Not sure when it will be up and ready, tho'.
Picture is very clear.....no snow showing now. I see a collar!
Thanks, Shar!!! Knew you would come through for Lolly!
All of your meals sound yummy!
I decided to postpone chili until tomorrow since it is supposed to be rainy and damp. Stopped to get ribs from the BBQ Wagon----closed due to out-of-town death in the family. :( Don't think I have any pork in the freezer, either. If I do, I'll cook them tomorrow. Do have shredded cabbage for slaw. If not, chili it will be. Tonight??? I think I'll make a skizza!
It is currently 50° here----yippee. We're havin' us a heat wave!
Happy New Year everyone.
A skizza? Is that a skinny pizza?
Have a good one, Glo.
Lynn, I did see them panning on another cam, may have been a quick yest
Oops, test!
A skizza is a pita stuffed with pepperoni, provolone and pizza sauce and nuked til cheese melts!
It was a feature item on our menu when we had our Mountain Snow shop.
I never did find the split screen instructions that bear folks said a viewer had shared on FB......guessing it was so that both cams could be up at once, but haven't even seen a link to the 2nd cam.....where did you see the test, Paula?
Have a great Eve and a better New Year, Everybody.
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
It was on the Lily cam, all of a sudden the view changed to the outside.
By split screen, I think they are talking about just having 2 screens up and resizing them so you can view side by side. I saw that chat on there yesterday on the pond cam.
Happy New Year to you, too, Jim! Are you partying tonight??? Be careful----it's a jungle out there!
For locals: ever seen the ShenValRA designation on the TV weather maps? It's a small airport between Staunton and Harrisonburg, VA---there was a mid-air collision there today between a small plane and a helicopter----2 dead.
I am back. We ran to the grocery store to get a few items. On the menu tonight...stuffed jalapenos for "orders", the three cheese risotto, followed by fillets topped with asparagus and blue cheese. Yummy!
I think the cam automatically switches from the bears to scan the outside, then back to the bears. It seems pretty regular.
found this...
There are 2 cameras connected to the system. One camera is a small camera that is placed inside the bear den. This is a day color/night infrared (IR) camera which can see in complete darkness. The second camera is installed outside the den and is a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, which will be used to watch and follow the bears if they come out of the den site.
Only one camera will be streaming at a time, and these cameras can be selected and remotely controlled by members of the Bear Center or PixController, Inc. Engineers. The camera system is also equipped with custom electronics which will monitor the systems battery supply. Daily emails are sent to the engineers with systems status information in order that we can keep the stream running smoothly throughout the project.

Both eagles nestorating at Caltrans
copy and paste
http://www.turtlebay.org/eaglecam
They both walked up the far upper left tree trunk
Or middle top, I should say, can still see a tail
Good evening all!
Whew, just got in from another day at Irvine, changed, took care of critters and we are off to dinner at friends Dave and Wendy and Billy. Should be home by 10. Not really crazy about being out at all tonight (geez, I am such a GEEZER!) but we missed Christmas so we are going.
Just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year's Eve and please be safe!! Love you guys! Will try to do some catching up on the blog tomorrow. I may check back in once home tonight!
Enjoy your evening out, Lynne! You deserve it. Be safe! Happy New Year.
Oh, no---it was a medical helicopter. Thank goodness, victims were not in the chopper----it landed safely.
Thanks, Lolly----I DID read that---but thinks it's beenn a few days ago! That clarifies it for this poor brain!
Just a quick visit as I wanted to check emails.
I'm Irish descent but never heard of the cabbage/dime tradition.
My family always followed the Southern tradition of pork and Black Eyed peas for a year of good luck. Some have Hoppin John. I use smoked ham hock, onion, tobasco, a tiny bit of sugar. I plan to eat a whole mess of peas after recent events.
Darth will master yet another culinary delight!
So happy to have the Lily cam back. Very anxious for the eagle cam to return but am so appreciative of all the hard work that goes into making it possible.
Hi Judie! Never heard of the dime and cabbage either. My family never followed any traditions and Jack and I have continued that tradition. LOL We just eat any ol' good food with wine.
Turtle Bay egg cup looks well defined, doesn't it, Paula?
Like that bit of trivia on their page:
The human body grows 40 yards of hair every 24 hours.
I think a lot of people can prove that isn't true!!!
Judie, I hadn't heard of the dime, either, until just a few years ago!
Maybe it's more of an Appalachian tradition than an Ireland tradition! You know--the A's were settled mostly by ScotsIrish. But don't remember my Dad ever mentioning the dime---and his parents were Irish/English mountain people---closer to the Smokies but they are subrange of the A's....
Judie, I think you are going to have to hire Darth out! Chez Darth Will Travel!!! Bet he does another excellent job for you!
Happy New Year's Eve! Hope everyone has a very safe, healthy and prosperous 2011.
Had a huge injured bird in our street today. Looked like a broken wing at the least. He was as big as a juvie eagle, black, black straight beak and feathers. He eventually7 hopped around another house. I found a rehabber in Durham and called them. They wanted me to catch the bird, put a box on top of him so he would not get away and send them pictures of the bird. She told me that they were not fully staffed and that they had no one who could catch a bird. And to drive two hours and not catch the bird would be a waste of time. It tears me up that this animal is suffering. He evidently has wandered to a safe place because we could not find him. Just had to vent. Why does things happen on a friday and a holiday? And you would think there would be some other clinic closer to a capitol city. Nope, this is the only one.
Oh, Suzan, that is sad. You are right-----things like this always happen when the least help is available. Poor bird.
That stinks, Suzan! Wonder where the bird went. Maybe we can hope he flew away.
Just saw bear eyes glowing in the dark. Cool! So happy to be back watching Lily.
Thank you for your concern. His wing looked pretty bad. We are surrounded by woods and maybe he went there. He could hop fairly fast. By the time I called the rehabber and got out the camera he was gone. Just sad.
Oh, Suzan! So sorry about the bird. Wonder if it's a vulture or large crow?
Put on Lily cam---how neat--they have a night light!!No motion, just snoozing away.
Finished my vaking, & black-eyed peas are in the fridge. We just started having them a few years ago, as someone mentioned they are good luck. Never had them growing up.Will be cooking early tomorrow as Fubby got a 7.4 lb. rib roast!!Will have mashed potatoes, fresh asparagus, etc.
Yes, it is very sad. You did what you could do.
I am going to be glued to the TV in the morning watching the parade. Looking for the TCU float, the TCU band (at the end of the parade) the local hs band, an the THE GAME!!! Have worn purple today and have my Rose Bowl t-shirt for tomorrows game. Go Frogs!

Whoops! Sorry! Me and the keyboard disagree sometimes!
Nature Nut, I think it was a large crow but it did have a few white tail feathers. Everything else was solid black!
Okay, I am going to make one more 2010 post:
I stopped by GG's after work, and met Jayden in person ! And when I left I got a hug! He is every bit as cute and then some as in the pictures and videos. He had on little cargo pants that reminded me of EMS pants...lots of pockets!
It was a nice way to end this day, this year, and of course, seeing Wanda, Gene, GG, and Butterfly Mama Karla was grand as well.
AND, I came home with two soup kitchen ham sandwiches lovingly made by the First Mate ☺
that will be MY New Year's snack tonight.
Best wishes for a good, safe evening.
All the cooking information and the menus, sounds wonderful !
Headed for the pillows, nap before midnight shift.
Happy New Year...
and
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
I read somewhere that on the Lily and Hope Den cam page there was going to also be a chat area like so many other sites have.
Sounds like many have plans for a wonderful feast for tomorrow!
Lynn, that is great that you and Mai are going to school. She will benefit and you will heal.
I am home from my wonderful afternoon with Samantha. Hubby and I are going to eat out - BBILW
I was looking for this comment that I made before leaving the house. Duhhhhhhhh!
Ready to settle in for the evening.
Margy, rest well. Happy New Year to you. Glad you had a pleasant respite on your way home! You and Carolyn will be passing ships in the night. Buts she starts nightshift tomorrow night---so you will work together for aa week---which I'm sure you know!
Lolly, wishing the Frogs lots of luck!! GO FROGS!
Loretta, that's a BIG roast for sure! Frank must be hungry.
Lynne, hope you and Steve have a nice Evening!
Margy, sorry you have to work tonight!
Suzan, so sorry about the bird.
Grabbing some dinner, then off to watch the grandkids, will be back after midnight....
So I want to wish everyone a
Happy New Year!!
Yeah, Lowreeda the roast sounds great!
I'm thinking about doing another one soon!
And the Frogs are in the Rose Bowl? Awesome!
Thanks, Lynn!
Happy New Year, Margy! How neat that you stopped by GG's and met Jayden in full living color, and you got a hug too!
Bless you and the work you do! (((Hugs)))
Happy New Year to you, Paula! Shall I pop bubbles at midnight? LOL
Lolly, wasn't that fun!
My mother was from Ohio until her mother died when she was very young. She came to live with relatives in WV.
I do not know of Irish traditions, it was probably more inherent superstition and THAT I am not. But keeping the "peace"... I do.
I am not too sure that corned beef is Irish either. ?
There a #51 on the WE nest.
The bear is sleeping still.
LOL, BEagle....seek and ye shall find--anything on the net!
The History of Corned Beef:
Why do they Call it "Corned" Beef?
The term “Corned” comes from putting meat in a large crock and covering
it with large rock-salt kernels of salt that were refered to as “corns of salt”
This preserved the meat. The term Corned has been in the Oxford English Dictionary
as early as 888 AD.
Irish Were the First Exporters of Corned Beef
Irish were the biggest exporters of Corned Beef till 1825.
The English were serving corned beef but also the Irish. In this day and age
corned beef and cabbage is not very Irish, but corned beef is. The area of Cork, Ireland was a great producer of Corned Beef in the 1600’s until 1825. It was their chief export and sent all over the world, mostly in cans. The British army sustained on cans of Cork’s corned beef during the Napoleonic wars.
A surprise visit from Margy was a great way to spend New Year's Eve. GG was so happy to see her...hugged her and said "where on earth have you been?" We all love when she stops by, and it has been a long while. This is a busy time for everyone (from Halloween to Thanksgiving and then Christmas).
Denise and Brandon were party goers tonight, so we did miss them:(
Jayden was very tired tonight and not as playful as he usually is, but after 2 weeks, it was great to see him. I have some video if I can find the time to work with it. Maybe next year:)
LYNN, I did as you suggested, rebooted and keyboard is working like new...Thank You!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL...LOVE TO YOU ALL♥
Yeah, that is your story, Wanda. We all know you were looped when you typed that interesting post. LOL Love you!
How great it was for Margy to stop by. She posted after she had been there. It made her day!
Love GG's greeting to Margy.
Jack and I have had two courses of tonights menu. Two more to go! Having different wines with each course. Thanks to Michael. (They are little bottles!)
Lily has her face by the cam!
Glad it worked for you, Wanda! I had it happen once...and that what I was told to do---and it worked for me, too!!
Since some more of you may disappear to celebrate, I am going to say HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of my dearest friends now. May 2011 hold only good things for us all!!!! I thank God every day for putting all y'all into my life!
Looking at the Bear cam and both Lily and Hope are looking out of their den.
Gotta tell ya'.....Mai and I had the very best 1/2 hr. during Jeopardy than we've had in at least two weeks. She wanted on my lap----and she was sweet and loving and kissy the whole half-hour! It was a delight-----and what I want it to always be like!! I kept kissing her face and telling her she was a good girl and that I love her----hope it sinks in so that she remembers how nice it can be when she's GOOD!!!!
I got home got into comfy clothes and wanted to jump on to say
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE...I COULD CALL YOU ALL AT 12:01 BUT I DON'T THINK YOU WANT ME TOO LOL
Hedgie-Lynn sounds like classes for Mai and you are in the near future.
Tomorrow I will have what we (Ed and me) always have on New Years Day. It is a tradition....he is from PA so I don't know when it started but whole family does it.
Pork and skaurkart for New Years Day meal. Otherwise you have bad luck.
Wow! I saw Hope! One happy camper here! Lily was doing something. Had her face right at the cam. Then she was moving around a lot. Hope's little face appeared from the right. I was so excited!
I stopped by Dairy Queen to get a small peppermint blizzard :(
they don't make them anymore....that is a Christmas special always...dumb Dairy Queen..
I did find thank you Margy at 1/2 price a Chihuahua Calendar. I get Ed one from there every year but thought I wouldn't get it this year. I kept looking where the one hangs now and thought Dana you know you'll going to go looking for that calendar. Thanks again Margy.
Also found the whiit chocolate cane kisses. Ate 2 on my goodness they are so good. I will have to monitor myself.
So happy ( : ( : you was able to have that much fun time with Mai and not bitting. She will get it Lynn I just know she will with training.
Lynn, I am not going anywhere. Jack is watching the STARS play hockey. Will leave shortly to start our dinner. Yep, we are have a late luscious dinner. Happy New year to you and Mai. I am sure she is going to be a good loving doggie. She is just a baby now and you have to teach her. :)
All I can say is What A Year.
I am very ready to go to 2011 and do my best to see it the whole way through.
Happy New Year to all of my friends
I wish you to have happiness, good health and prosperity in 2011.
Peace to you & your family - each and everyone of you
I just wanted to jump on here and let you all know how much you mean to us!! Tom and I both wish you the happiest of New Years!! We love you so very, very much! Looking forward to another great year of eagle (and panda) watching with you wonderful folks. I doubt we make it to midnight, past our bedtime now! Love and hugs to you all across the miles!!!
Gosh, getting later---hope I stay awake to see the Ball drop in Times Square! Called daughter, but no one home.?
Gotta check bears & clean up rest of kitchen. Boo, that's the down side of fixing neat stuff.
Lynn, what a nice time w/Mai during TV time!
Guess Margy is having a nap--how great she stopped by GGs!
If I DO konk out, or some of you are leaving, want to say, "HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! You are all the best and brighten my day!
So good to get all the New Years wishes from you sweet people!! It means A LOT to those of us sitting here alone on the big party night!!!
Wonder where Shirley is???? she left us early this morning and I don't think she's been back, has she??? Hope all is well with her.
Just got a good capture of Lily palying with her paw----probably scratching! Will put it on my blog!
Wow. So corned beef is an Irish dish.
Thanks for looking that up Hedgie.
Happy New Year to everyone.
I posted greetings on fb but some of you are not there.
Have to catch up now that pain is subsiding. Been a really bad day for me. I try to go without pain medication and it gets too bad to handle. Should take it before it gets so bad. My bad.
.... later or next year.
love you guys and dolls. (((hugs)))
CLady's keyboard fix was so easy. Wow that is great news!
I just saw a big foot on the bear cam!
She seems restless.....and itchy!
Just think.....baby watch will start in about 2 weeks!!!
How adorable!Hope moved her head back some & Lily's nose is showing!
I'm gonna wrap up in an afghan!!!
Pic is on my blog!
Diann, same to you and yours! Am I gonna have to use my eagle cane on you?? Stay AHEAD of the pain---take the meds!!!
Sorry, reverse those animal names!!!
I was offered the position I applied for!
Just put another pic of her on!
WhooHoo, BEagle!!!!! Congrats!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR for you for sure!!!!
We are starting a countdown for Suz toward retirement! Sept. it is....but forgot to ask if the 1st or 30th!!
Baby bear must have moved. I can see Lily's collar now!
Well I hate to drag myself away, but gotta finish kitchen. The maid didn't come!!! ☺
Good view of Lily's collar-----looks like a studded dog collar on that side.
Gonna head for the tub. BBIALW!
Yay, BEagle! Good for you!!
Lynn, are you talking about our Suzanne Hall retiring?? If so, she needs a home 'puter hookup as present!!
BEagle that is great news! You did take the offer - right? Just teasing as we all know how much you wanted it.
Diann - do like Lynn says - take your pain and all meds on a regular schedule
How else can you heal? ((hugs))
Kids are camped out on the floor asleep. We had fun watching a movie and eating popcorn.
Beagle congrats on your. New job. Hopeits everything you want it to be. Lynn glad you had nice laptime with mai. I read that you can also growl at her when she gets nippy.
Diann hope the meds help.
Wanda glad you saw jayden
Is this a split-o-la?
Yes, I had to toss it around because I have been at my position for 10 years.
It will be a Happy New Year. Thanks for your prayers and congrats too.
Lily's collar does look a little doggie! : )
SPLIT?
split
Beagle split will come at 400 comments
BEagle what kind of position? I miss what it is?
I fell asleep on counch with Little Man and I have my alarm set for before MN.
Daughter is getting -4° tonight and snow.
Paula, I grrrowl a lot and I yelp when appropriate.....and now also using a high pitched repetitive noise to distract her (compliments of British trainer Victoria Stilwell---on Animal Planet!).
As with any hard-headed kid, sometimes they work, sometimes they don't!
Yep---our Suzanne!!! I know----she must absolutely get hooked up when she retires!!!
Oh I see! 378 is still a distance from the split. Okay.
Thanks
We just finished our dinner. Yum! Just saw Lily scratch. She does seem restless.
Sounds like a great time tonight, Paula. No babysitting for us. Laurel, Joey and the boys are watching movies. Boys have bathed but are trying to stay up til midnight.
Also, at midnight, Joey is calling and trying to get a house in Colorado for us to use next Thanksgiving. The house is owned by their church. Reservations start at midnight. We want it for the week of Thanksgiving. Room for all of us and have dinner brought in. I go for that! Michael and Ashley are to be with us next Thanksgiving. Room for more family, too!
Dana, the position is pretty much doing what I do now, it's going up a couple levels and making more money and holds a little more responsibility.
How's that for someone who can't figure out holidays or splits?
: D
I think Lily has got the itchies. She's scratching.
Is anyone else yawning...?
Maybe some ice cream would help
I just had hot chocolate..
Almost there..........
She's probably got fleas, BEagle!!! Bet that's why bears scratch against tree trunks so much!!! Thought I saw a few flakes of snow there, too, a little while ago.
Megan noted on FB...shooting had already started near her. It started here, along with firecrackers, at 10. People are so crazy.
Wow----mid-to-upper 50's tomorrow!!
I can handle that! Need to move some wood before the rain starts....easier when it's not so cold or windy!!!
What in the world is Lily swatting at?
She keeps batting at something out there.
My eyes are droopy.
FIRST DAY OF NEW YEAR WHOSE IS GOING TO BE WAREING SHORTS???????

I can see the colored flashes from firecrackers down the road, and then hear the report following.
Cmon midnight I'm getting sleep.lol
BEagle, you made me laugh! I am sure you will do great at the new position even if you can not figure out the "split"! I love that!
You in the East are about to be in 2011! We still have over an hour to go. Hearing lots of fireworks.
CHANNEL 5 REBA IS GOING TO SING

I almost ate a doggie treat truly. Have 2 laying here for Little Man for New Years and my bag of chips. Almost picked up his to put in my mouth LOL

It is difficult to watch Dick Clark.
He has really good care since his stroke and you can tell he works hard at rehab.
Happy New Year My Friends!!
