Thanks for the callover Margy!

Lynne2 said...

brought over-
Sad to hear the news of Jack Lalanne's passing yesterday.
Jack Lalanne
My former mother and I used to exercise with him when I was little, but mostly I liked his white German Shepherd dogs!

magpie said...

Just a reminder
Lisa has made an update to the

BWE Eagle Cam Web Log

some very interesting information on there, and additional links as well
you can click on the link on the BWE cam, to the upper left...

Yes, Jack LaLanne...96 years old...
was a pioneer in Fitness Education

not sure what they really are

EAGLE IN OUR NEST

kickngbird said...

Eagle arrival

Lolly said...

Good morning, Margy! I am here with you.

Lolly said...

Really working on the nest. Was more fluff brought in? Saw fluff being moved around.

magpie said...

Lolly
not sure about flugg I mean fluff delivery...I didn't see the landing

earlier I think they just rearranged the stugg I mean stuff already in there


Okay Lolly and kickngbird

You have the baton
I have to disappear

Lolly said...

Nothing quite like watching an eagle in the nest in WV and listening to bear cubs in a den in Minn while drinking coffee in TX. :)

Lolly said...

Poof!

kickngbird said...

I saw magpie's "EAGLE IN OUR NEST" and thought it was an hour earlier; I got confused by the time difference and thought maybe that was an hour ago! Silly me. Had there been a fly off and return already? I'm so confused.

Lynne2 said...

go to bear cam!

magpie said...

k - they were here between 0700 and 0730 Eastern time....
then again just now...

don't worry, I am confused all the time !!

Sounds great Lolly....I'll be right there !

ttfn xo

Lynne2 said...

ah shoot she turned back around that fast.....dang! bear cubs visible for a second! NO WAIT, moving again...

kickngbird said...

It's pretty amazing, isn't it? I'll have to go too. But I'll be back to lurk later. :)

Lynne2 said...

awwww....a Lily Hope kiss!

Lolly said...

Those bears are just fantastic. Got a quick view of the cubs. Tried to get a pic but it is just so fast! Hope is sooo cute!

Lynne2 said...

love to hear those little motors running!

Lolly said...

Interesting...when the den cam freezes up, it freezes up for everyone. Learned that because it just froze up on me and when I got back I looked at the chat and it had frozen up on them as well.

Mema Jo said...

Morning! Thanks for the new thread Steve.

Lynne, Thanks for the call to the Lily cam. I think I saw one cub. Question: do you thank that is the new cubs or Hope nursing?

Lolly said...

Yeah, it sounds like everyone is happy now.

wvgal_dana said...

Good bitter cold morning to everyone.

Got to see the eagles come to the nest. If they came earlier then it was the 2nd visit I got to see.

Happy Steelers won not sure they can beat Green Bay. It will be a good game.

What day is the stink bug dinner and NCTC visit; day, time, where and do we really need stink bugs to get in lol????????

Lolly said...

I think we hear the new cubs right now, but sometimes we hear Hope as well.

wvgal_dana said...

Oh I did only have our live feed up and did hear and eagle call....oh it was a glorious sound (:

Mema Jo said...

Lynne & Lolly- do you have the option to Join chat or to View chat? I used to but I haven't for a while...

Mema Jo said...

Those little volvo's motors really are going strong.
I can hear a quiet squeal......

Lynne2 said...

yeah, I had a freeze up too.

Jo, not sure...Hope was clearly trying to dive into Lily at one point. No idea what happened when the cam was frozen...but now it LOOKS like Hope in front nursing, Lily on her side, head to right.

Lolly said...

I used to have the view chat button but it is gone now. I just click join chat but do not join in, just view. It goes way too fast, but sometimes I want to know their opinions about something.

Lynne2 said...

Jo, I don't have the option to just VIEW the chat anymore either. Just to join. Wonder why?

Lynne2 said...

OK if the bear in front IS Hope, she isn't nursing, I just saw her lift her head and look to the left. It's hard to keep track of who is who when there is an interruption in the feed!

Bird Girl said...

Good morning everyone :) I don't see anyone in our nest at the moment. They have shored up the sides quite a bit! The nest cup seems to be in progress, but where did all the leaves go that were there?

I would like to ask a quick favor: my mother lost her job last week, after 10 years at the same company. She has some infirmities which make working difficult, but at her age, she would reach early retirement before she would be approved for disability, so she's in limbo. She really needs another job, and soon. Would you mind, my dear friends, just sending a little positive thoughts her way?

Lynne2 said...

YAY! Just got a call from my friend Barb's sister...surgery is over and the Dr said everything went very well! She is in recovery now!

Lolly said...

Think the leaves got covered with another kind of fluff.

Prayers for your Mom, Delphia!

Lynne2 said...

Of course Delphia! I hope she can find something soon. I've been without a full time job for almost 2 years now. I wouldn't wish this on anyone.

Lolly said...

Very, very good, Lynne!

Lolly said...

Close up of eagle at NBG, think it is having a bad feather day!

floralgirl said...

EAGLE our nest!

floralgirl said...

And now two!

Mema Jo said...

Delphia, hello again. Glad you came on and we certainly will send positive thoughts upward for your mom.

Dana - Wed, Feb 9 at 7 pm
No SB are needed - free admission....

Mema Jo said...

Thanks Megan!
Aren't they beautiful!

Weather guys aren't quite certain of
the kind of precip Tues or Wed...
What say you Megan

floralgirl said...

Sort of! Seemed to be a balance issue.

Lynne2 said...

oh wow, I HEARD the eagles!!!

wvgal_dana said...

I heard them too Megan beautiful sound (:

floralgirl said...

Too soon to tell, they were saying it was going to be bad, gonna depend on how the storm tracks. I am watching it closely. We sure need moisture here, I prefer rain, it's much easier to deal with than snow.

glo said...

Such a pretty site right there at the sycamore tree :-) Its a beautiful morning in my world in oh so many ways indeed.

glo said...

its time to turn on my live cam I hear :-)

wvgal_dana said...

Delphia prayers for your Mom to find something for work. Praying for whatever God's plan is for your Mom HE puts it into play.

floralgirl said...

There they go! One called out when they flew out.

floralgirl said...

Whoops! One right back!

floralgirl said...

With fluff and right to work on the cup.

Mema Jo said...

That was quick cause now here comes one again......

floralgirl said...

And there's... Belle? And poof, as quick as she arrived, the other just left.

wvgal_dana said...

They are trying to drive us crazy this morning in and out, in and out, and which is which lol

Bird Girl said...

Well someone is in the nest right now...can't tell whom...

floralgirl said...

NOw here comes more fluff! Both in nest

Mema Jo said...

Belle in the nest now
I usually look at the white tail feathers showing....

floralgirl said...

I think that was Lib that just flew in with fluff.

Mema Jo said...

Guess we will be able to tell which is which IF there is HP

Lolly said...

LOl That is the only way I can tell, Jo.

floralgirl said...

Well there you go, HP!

Lynne2 said...

well, now we know!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good morning my peeps!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I keep having to restart my cam. ARGH! I did get to witness the eagle porn just now though! :-)

Mema Jo said...

Morning Sharon
My Live feed & still cam are doing well

Mema Jo said...

Lib better go get some foods for Belle if he wants her to stay in the egg well

Mema Jo said...

LOL I think he heard me........

Mema Jo said...

Sharon did Sissy take you and T-Bird for a ride in her new set of wheels this weekend?

floralgirl said...

There goes Belle, too. MT nest

Mema Jo said...

Now over to the bears
They seem to be napping....

Mema Jo said...

Lolly said...

Yesterday morning the rs hawk was back in one of our pecan trees. He was out on the thin ends of the branch, flapping his wings to keep his balance. Then he flew off. LOL Pecan trees easily get web worms. In the winter, when the leaves are off at the ends of branches you see masses of tangled webs. The hawk was gathering the web stuff for his nest.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Mema Jo, I actually got to drive it for a while. We all went for a little ride and then me and Sissy drove to Smith Mountain Lake. Love her new car.

Lolly said...

The last two mornings I have seen a red bellied woodpecker at the seed feeder, usually they go to the suet. He chases off all the smaller birds, hunts for what he wants in the seeds and flies off in the same direction every time. Went to anther window to see if I could see where he is going, no luck. I can almost time when he returns and repeats this action.

Lolly said...

Wow! She let you drive! Very nice sister!

Lolly said...

Had my breakfast, coffee is about gone, time to move. Not going outside as it is too cold. Guess indoor work is calling me.

Have a great day! I'll be back!

Mema Jo said...

Wow Sharon! That is great I love the RED wheels......

wvgal_dana said...

Ok all this talk and Sissy a new car. Sharon got to drive it -- nice sister to let her. Red wheels so it must be on facebook..I will go there later.

Need to go take prescriptions to store. Get some things for Little Man...he is starting to cost me (: lol....me luvs him.

Glad Barbara made it through the surgery good.

Remember to keep Larry in prayers please. At Winchester Hospital Critical Care Unit on Life Support.
Thank you...

Prayers for those that need jobs.

Prayers for cold temps causing problems with water pipes for some and for others that it don't cause problems.

Sure hope Belle doesn't choose this next storm to lay her egg.

Send me an email as to when, where, and time for the dinner before the "stink bug show". Please and thank you.

later

Judie said...

Good afternoon.

Thank you, Steve. Stay warm. Thank you, Margy. Stay warm, also.

Too much to catch up. Weekend was not a comfortable one. Much sleep needed along with pain pills.

Lily is taking good care of her babies. Hope was looking around staying behind Lily, one cub nursing, one cub squealing. Now quiet with motors running.

MT nest last I checked. Please, no snow at the nest!

So pleased Barb's surgery was successful. Very positive thoughts for your Mom, Delphia.

Need to get some school work done. Don't feel like it but ...

BBL

Lynne2 said...

aw, Judie, so sorry you had an uncomfortable weekend :(

Lynne2 said...

Looks like our friend "Mother Carolyn" is going to have to postpone surgery for now. Waiting on more tests results but not exactly sure why just yet. I know that she's been diagnosed with early CLL which is NOT a factor, but that she had a stress test today...MTBR

floralgirl said...

Eagle just flew in!

Mema Jo said...

Judie - there is an eagle in the nest for you now.

Mema Jo said...

Still in the nest - wish they could find lots more fluff! Fluff is a good insulator.

I need to get ready to go to dentist for a small filling.

Keep your eyes on the birds and bears

floralgirl said...

Poof!off she goes. MT nest

stronghunter said...

Hi, I see a lovely eagle in the nest. Now gone.

stronghunter said...

Kids are busy working on an assignment. But not for long.

Costume Lady said...

New Tral Cam on WILD AND WONDERFUL...no bears or such!

Costume Lady said...

Headed to GG's.

hedgie said...

Good afternoon.
Made it to my meeting this AM---it was 2° here when I left. Ridiculous. SO glad I have remote start on my truck.
So many visits today.....saw one while I was getting dressed early---probably 7:15'ish, and a couple of times since I got home.
Lunch is over, I've caught up on the blog.
Judie, sorry your weekend wasn't good. Hope you feel better today.
Delphia, prayers for your Mom. FYI: "early retirement" does not factor in for Social Security Disability.....they go by what your full retirement age is. But a lot depends on what her infirmaments are.....you can look on their website to see what qualifies for disability retirement, but you have to have been "unable to work" for 6 months before applying. It can take a while for approval, unless it's fast-tracked for a terminal illness or end-stage renal disease, but then it's retroactive to date of application.
Prayers

hedgie said...

Hope all frozen pipes/vents, etc have thawed out!

Dana, you have mail.

Weather report is so iffy, who knows??

stronghunter said...

A bit warmer here this morning, Lynn. It was 9 degrees.

Lolly said...

Did a little straightening including a couple of drawers and a box out of my closet. Yep, woman on a mission. Going to repair a Christmas sweat shirt and then straighten the linen closet.

Judie, sorry it was not a good weekend for you. Prayers for you that this is a good week.

It was cold here this morning, in the 20's, but not like you in the east. Thank goodness. It is now up to 46 and we have a beautiful sun!

magpie said...

impressive TV on BWO

magpie said...

was.. and I don't mean a television!
(at BWO)

I think the two eagles at NCTC often look closer to the same size this year...really makes it hard to tell sometimes....
but you're right! that H-P answers the identification problem

Switched to the Lily cam right after Lynne put the alert up earlier, wow, what a good showing. When it froze I figured I had just timed out.

JO
love your expression, hearing those little Volvos going !

Good Afternoon and still Morning in some places, Eagle Pals

magpie said...

Delphia
positive thoughts on the way of course, and prayers...
is your Mother nearby to you?

Lynn
take consolation, my Massachusetts sister had -20 wind chills this morning...
I have a remote starter: I go out and turn the engine in, lock the doors and finish getting dressed !

magpie said...

I would love to put bird feeders out, but don't want another squirrel bothering me...
don't think I would get any woodpeckers here though.
Sigh.
I need a place in the country!


good news for your friend Barb's sister Lynne, continued prayers for Dana's friend Larry,
and continued wellness/improvement prayers for you Judie !
I know God is listening, sometimes He just answsers things in HIS time and not ours...hard to get used to that sometimes...

magpie said...

got snagged for a four hour shift
"2nite" at 8 pm on my night off :(

I rarely get sick, usually tell my co-workers if I call in, it is likely to be terminal !

Going to go do some cooking !

ttfn

xoxoxo

movin said...


Guess I'd better say

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
GooD MorninG,
EveryBodY.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
While it still is morning..out here at least.



C(°Ù¿°)D Jim

Lolly said...

Well, goodness, Margy! Hope you never call in. :)

What next? Linen closet cleaned, even put down new shelf paper. Won't tell you the color that was down. It probably dated back to the 70's. LOL

Nothing much going on cam wise. Back to being constructive!

Lolly said...

Oh, sorry, Margy! Wish you had tonight off!

magpie said...

wellll, it is overtime money...
still leaves me time to do stuff tomorrow...but thanks for the sympathy, Lolly - so glad it is only the last four hours of the evening

Got peppers, onions, celery, and stew meat a going...

going to be meals for a few days


Hi Jim !

magpie said...

...and potatoes !

If I didn't have so many things IN the oven, I would probably BAKE more...this is a slow-cooker meal

hedgie said...

LOL, Margy.....luckily I have a dual oven.....top one is storage for chips and other snacks! Bottom is free for cooking!!
Sorry you got snagged....but please don't ever tell us you are calling off----I'll be calling 911!!
BTW----do you know that it's against the law in the city to leave a vehicle running unattended???? Even when locked!
A friend of a friend was charged on Kentucky Ave. for doing what you do!!! But I always did it your way, too, until I got this truck---but I've never been within city limits.

Yes, Lynne, too bad that Mother Carolyn's surgery has been put off.

Lolly, so what color WAS the old shelf paper??

Mema Jo said...

Back from the dentist - no pain - only took about 15 min max - The pain is going to be when the bill comes, I'm sure. I'll let you know!

Cams are all calm........

Hope BEagle's 1st day at new job goes well.

Feet are going up...........

magpie said...

well, Lynn, I did know that, but I also thought possibly naively it was if the vehicle was unlocked...I will check it out, cannot afford any tickets !
I sure know they are HOT about fire lane violations, and illegal parking in handicapped spots...as well they Should Be !

So JO is going to make feetie prints in the air ☺
glad the dentist visit went OK, hope the painful bill never arrives !

stronghunter said...

About to head home. It has been a reasonable day.

BBL.

Lolly said...

Lynn, yellow and avacado green. Oh, my! Blue was under the sink. That is all changed now!

magpie said...

hope I can finish cleaning up in the kitchen before a possible Royal Pair visit....

hedgie said...

Lolly, in our first house, we bought avocado green appliances!!! Then when we put in dishwasher, it had changeable panels---and I liked the yellow!!!
Yep, 70's for sure!!!!

magpie said...

the colors on the Eagle at BWE are spectacular !

paula eagleholic said...

Mom's house had avocado green, too. We moved that fridge to the beach house. That puppy ran for darn near 40 years between the 2 places....

Back to work...

magpie said...

switching on the live feed now
can't really blog during that

Shirley: hope you get to see an eagle visit and some more H-P to cap off a "reasonable" day ☺

magpie said...

funny look on eagle face at BWO

magpie said...

think that it is one of the refuge eagles, not Dad...

Lolly said...

Eagle!

hedgie said...

EAGLE!

wvgal_dana said...

EAGLE ALERT OUR NEST

Lolly said...

2 eagles!

hedgie said...

HP!

Lolly said...

got a pic of the hp

hedgie said...

Got a pic!

Lolly said...

Up loaded the hp picture to momsters album.

NatureNut said...

Wow, just checked in at the right time!! Got a couple pics of 2 in the nest.
Beautiful sight!

hedgie said...

Put pic in album. Dana got it, too.

NatureNut said...

HP

Lolly said...

Second hp! Got another picture.

BEagle said...

Missed the HP but got to see them both fly off.

I have permission to watch the still cam at the new position. : )

BEagle said...

Oh, missed two HP's.

HELLO EAGLE FANS!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Both HP's in album by two people .. that is what we need people snapping those pics. ( :

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Boy, I'm tired! Have been cleaning up leaves, tree berries, and twigs out front. Got the parkway and the sidewalk all clean, but decided to stop. Won't have any room in the brown trash can for grass clippings, and the gardeners will be here tomorrow.

Emma is napping again. Maybe I should be, too! Have a big English exam tonight. Studied earlier today, but my brain decided to stop retaining information, so am giving it a rest. Lots of eagle activity today! YAY!!!!

Judie, sorry you had a lousy weekend ankle-wise. Hope this week turns out to be a good one! Prayers!

Gosh, it is BRUTALLY cold back east! Hope all of you manage to stay thawed out!~~hope that problem pipes, washing machines, etc., all decide to cooperate!

I am SOOOO tired, I think I'm going to go take a quick panda nap, before Hubby gets home from work. Will be back later tonight, after school. Have a good, cozy warm evening, everyone! :o]

Lolly said...

Three of us, Dana!

BEagle, great that you can watch cams. So....how was your day? We were thinking of you.

Ms Bookworm said...

Oh--forgot to mention--I was sorry to hear that Jack LaLanne had passed, too. Watched and exercised with his show for years. Prayers for his wife!

NatureNut said...

So glad you got an HP pic. Can't find mine!?Guess it didn't get saved? Contrast on nest was really good!

magpie said...

Saw it, heard it, twice...♥ ♥

also heard geese, and dogs
funny thing about this computer...and the live feed....

the sound is about three to five seconds after the action...so they squeal and chortle when it's all over LOL !
and when I post - it's all invisible, then the words start appearing very slowly...like a ghost in there typing!

think I have to reload Adobe or something like that


Hello BEagle - good you can watch at the new job...I can watch at the "Old"job...


How was the first day ????

Lolly said...

For some reason everytime I took a pic my screen froze up for a minute. Frustrating!

My bear cam was down so I heard them afterwards. Also, I think I heard geese flying over.

wvgal_dana said...

BEagle I too want to know how did new job go?

BEagle said...

It was a good day. Brutal only to the point that I am not settled in.

I asked my super if I could watch the eagles nest since it was through a .gov web.

No problem. THEN she said, I watch a bear named Lily!

magpie said...

I got two pics using the snipping tool but they load onto the E-MN album rather small, so I won't add them
gotta figure that problem out !

wvgal_dana said...

LOL Little Man is getting snail mail now LOL Thank YOu ( : Hugs

BEagle said...

So I asked, Did you see the twin cubs Lily had?

She had not since she hadn't watched it since last year.

BEagle said...

I heard the geese over the bear cam yesterday.

NatureNut said...

Haven't read earlier posts, but I guess some of you heard about water main break down here. In fact, Fubby found out from his Paw Paw buddy on phone this AM!!
Hasn't affected our water pressure, but we're probably in the "boil water" area. Don't have to---have bottled. I finally figured out exactly where it is---back street of industrial complex between main post office & Hampton Mall a few blocks down. Parallel to Beltway. They closed the Census Bureau in Suitland & some area schools, etc for no water.

magpie said...

Oh that's way cool, BEagle...
you and the NCTC cam, and your supervisor with the Lily cam!
I think you are at the right place!
Hope you get settled in quickly ☺

Lolly said...

Glad to hear your day went well, BEagle. LOL Funny that she watched Lily last year but had not watched it yet this year.

What do you do? (Your job!}

magpie said...

gonna zone out for 45 mins before the half a night shift

Yes, Loretta, that was SOME water main break...a 54" pipe...Whew !
what a mess !

ttfn xoxo

magpie said...

Best wishes as school, Andrea

NatureNut said...

Just saw a news story on the Lib. of Cong. hawk. Had good pics of him flying/perching up in the dome of the main reading room.They DO have netting below to keep it in tthe one area and it DID take some bait to eat but avoided getting trapped!!One smart bird-must be reading at night! ☺

BEagle said...

I do accounting and auditing work.

Lolly said...

ESPN is moving into Ft Worth, getting ready for Super Bowl. Sundance Square is going to be ESPN headquarters. They started setting up today. I'll say again.....I am so tired of the Super Bowl.

BEagle said...

A few weeks before leaving the old job, I got a lady there interested in the NCTC eagles. She got really excited about it.

She, in turn, got a young lady interested in Lib and Belle. This lady had a bone removed from one of her feet and has a difficult time getting around while healing.

She is very excited about the eagles too and says thank you, thank you.

Lolly said...

Thanks BEagle! We wish you the best with this new job.

Lolly said...

Ohhhh, the weather just reported that we have "artic air" headed this way next week. Rain or snow???? That is the question.

wvgal_dana said...

Now Lolly if Dallas was in the Super Bowl....I bet you wouldn't say that. I bet you would even want to watch the Super Bowl. Would you say that is true?

wvgal_dana said...

BEagle glad you was able to give that lady something to do while she healed. So now she probably watches all the time...why??? Because it is addicting...we are eagleaddicts lol

Mema Jo said...

Oh Lolly I hope it is just "AIR"

Mema Jo said...

Loweeeeda - you really think they leave a night light on at the LOC so he can read......? Too Funny!
I truthfully pray they get him out without hurting him in anyway.

Mema Jo said...

BEagle I was glad to hear about the new job's 1st day. Wow! what a supervisor! You two can keep each other up to date! You will settled in shortly I hope!

NatureNut said...

Heard some louder humming and some squealing on Bear cam. Maybe Hope is drinking and baby is hollering!

Had checked Sutton before dark, & cams were in better position. One looks down into refuge nest w/ eagle in it & other 2 show the lake nest, but bird's head was partly blocked by a board.

NatureNut said...

Jo, I bet there's a security light in there!!LOL

BEagle, so glad to hear about your new workplace & that they're cam watchers!

magpie said...

Thanks Loretta
for that update on the hawk at Library of Congress...wish I could see it !

Just realized that Steve's New Thread comment from this morning stated:

"Coldest Morning this Winter"

That's a Big 10-4 !

time to head out for mini-shift.
Good Evening to All, and To All a Good Night.
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥

Lynne2 said...

I just put a pic on my blog you may find amusing. Or NOT!!!

Lynne2 said...

Weather people STILL are not sure what this storm is going to do just yet. But right now they are saying snow late Tues. night and Wed. morning, change to snow/rain/sleet during the day and then snow again PM Wed with possible accumulation of 3 to 6 inches. YUK.

hedgie said...

BEagle, so great that you can keep the cam up. You will get settled in fine! And your co-worker has missed a lot by not being tuned into the Bear cam this year!

Loretta, glad you saw the report on the hawk. That water main break is really something----cars tossed and flipped, roads broekn up. What a mess the beltway traffic must have been!

Lolly, I have NO interest whatsoever in the Superbowel (intentional sp.!) this year. Can only imagine how the hoopla there will impact the citizens! UGH!

BEagle said...

Oh no. I pretty picture of a SB. Put that thing in an airtight container!!

:D

BEagle said...

A pretty picture of...

BEagle said...

Yes, there are a lot of eagleholics around!!

BEagle said...

Ahem!

Lolly said...

It would be more interesting if the Cowboys were in it, but I would still be very tired of all the superbowl hoopla. They are even charging $200 to stand outside! It is a rich man's entertainment and I think it is disgusting. You would not believe all the stores opening and selling stuff before they even knew who was going to play.

stronghunter said...

Stopping by to say hello and good night. I am so tired tonight and have to work tomorrow night.

See you later.

God bless.

hedgie said...

Goodnight, poor Shirley.

Right you are, Lolly. It is no longer a game for the fans. It is all for the business. I think advertisers just all need to bow out for one and then maybe the NFL and the network, etc. might get the message. It's insane.

Heading for tub. House is taping. Need to put wood on the fire, and too tired to make too many more trips down and up the steps. BBL.

wvgal_dana said...

It has been a "business for years" it just didn't start.

It is with ALL SPORTS baseball too.

I have always complained that a family can't take their kids to a baseball game or a football game without spending an arm and a leg.

Then again Ed and I went to the movies and Lord the cost!!!!!!! We then had learn't to go to a Metina (spelling wrong). Families don't have too many places that don't charge huge amounts. That has always been a petpeve of mine. Just not football and baseball.

In the past they have ALWAYS STARTED SELLING SUPERBOWL STUFF before it is even here. NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!! IT IS AS IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE SAME!!!

wvgal_dana said...

Same way with stores Christmas is out way before hand. Valentines stuff is out in January. IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE NOTHING HAS CHANGED...

wvgal_dana said...

GAS IS $3.199 REGULAR GAS A GALLON IN VIRGINIA I JUST PAID $2.999 which isn't much better. Why does gas have to be so high even in Virginia?????? Because as in everything the "people" don't have the say......it is the higher upper people in BUSINESS/POLICITICS...GAS DOES NOT HAVE TO COST THAT MUCH. FAMILIES NEED TO GO TO WORK...GET KIDS TO GAMES AND ACTIVITIES BUT WHO CARES IF A NORMAL FAMILY CAN'T HARDLY MAKE A GO OF IT.

SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING IN THIS WORLD IS NOT FOR THE REGULAR INCOME FAMILY...MIDDLE CLASS IS NO LONGER ... EITHER POOR OR RICH.

tell us how you REALLY feel Dana! LOL!

I know your frustration. Everyone feels it.

Lowreeda, I may be mistaken but I believe the LOC hawk has been reading a first edition of Cooper's Landing.

Andy, good luck with the English test tonight. I know you'll have another A+.

Shirley, sleep well. Sometimes that's just what we need.

BEagle, so glad the first day was comfortable and especially happy to know your supervisor watches Lily. You two should get along just fine. Wishing a quick learning curve for you.

Humming motors at Lily's house. MT nest at the Sycamore Palace.

Thank you all, all fine. Just have to remember what my therapist told me: just because your brain wants to, it doesn't mean your body is ready -- don't rush. Therapy tomorrow after school.

EAGLE JUST FLEW INTO THE NEST!

Lynne2 said...

EAGLE IN THE NEAST!

Lynne2 said...

laying in the egg cup!

floralgirl said...

Yep, wiggled right down into the nest cup.

Lynne2 said...

just checked about 10 mins ago I think and no one was there...

floralgirl said...

Yeah, I've had the cam up, just saw eagle fly in.

Lynne2 said...

Put pic in EM album!

Can't wait to see how long she stays!

Lynne2 said...

wonder if an egg will be laid tonight??? Lots of HP in the last couple of days...

Costume Lady said...

Please don't lay an egg, Belle, it's too early!

hedgie said...

Eagle in nest!!

floralgirl said...

It's been there about 20 minutes now. And tonight certainly could be an egg laying night:)

Costume Lady said...

Dana, I have a feeling that the price of gas and fuel oil will increase even more. The only thing that we peons can do is to dial down our thermostats and limit our car trips.
We are dialing our heat way down and burning the fireplace. I just might buy an iron kettle and cook over the fire:)

Lynne2 said...

I'm with you Wanda....hope they wait til AFTER the mess to come Wed.

Costume Lady said...

Lynne, Jan. 31 was the earliest that our pair have laid and egg, let's hope they don't try to break that record!

hedgie said...

Belle looks well settled in....maybe it will be an all-nighter.

Gee, sorry I mentioned the Superbowel.
Gotta say, tho', that gas in WV is 3.19, in VA 2.99. VA is ALWAYS cheaper than here---at least in the Winchester area.

Lynne2 said...

Well, I guess nothing is certain...especially after the goings on at BWE. How many nights in the past has she spent in the nest prior to an egg?

Judie said...

See the nest is occupied. I do hope that if an egg arrives the snow will not.

Going to watch a bit longer then need to turn my light off. Will leave the night light on for others coming in later.

floralgirl said...

I think WV has higher taxes on gas, which makes it more expensive.
