SHOP KICK apps is a new app for smart phone was just on the I phone and android phones It is free and seem pretty cool If you are in store it will tell you to scan certain bar codes and then you get kick points that will convert to a gift card On the news they showed a lady going in to target and ended up leaving with a 20 gift card I thought you might be interested Would hurt to check it out Coupons and will show sales at the stores etc Ok back to the news
Morning early birders,
Hope everyone's day goes well.
HODA, you are such an accomplished writer. There is an internet company, Demand Studio, that pays freelance writers for their articles. They have many formats & pay schedules. For some this is a full time income, or for others, like myself, it's a bit of extra part time income. You might want to check it out.
Have a great day everyone!
Off to make Taffy Apple salad and pudding cake.
Good Morning CarolAnne. Your Taffy Apple Salad and pudding cake are making me hungry! :)
OTWIG BBAL
LOL Lori,
Yesterday I made reindeer cake pops, figured I better make something a bit healthier too i.e. apple salad. The pudding cake is son's favorite, so that's a "have to have" on the menu.
Have finished coffee, now must really get back into kitchen!
JudyE-is the bar code app only for Target stores?
Good morning!
Bowling today. See you later.
Go Cyclone Shirley!!!!
Thanks, Lori!
Morning all on this raining, gray day.
Laying flat worked fine for 30 mins. until I started coughing! Back to recliner I went. Had a good night then.
How is everyone else??
Lori, really HAD to laugh about your Christmas tree!!!! I, too, LOVE the lights.....and that hanging it saves space, but in the bedroom?? LOL! Is there still room on there for YOU???
Are you staying home Thanksgiving or are you going to your folks??
Hedgie, I'm so thankful you had a good night. It is good to see you.
CarolAnne, I can see that you are going to get bugged for recipes! What interesting sounding things you are making!!! SHARE, please!!!
Thanks for the Demand Studio info....will definitely check into it.....are the negative blogs about them just someone's hard feelings??
T-bird, what are you getting into today??!!
Hedgie - re: Demand Studios
For the most part the negative blogs are those who have been dropped for one reason or another. Occasionally it seems someone is adversely affected without a good reason. But you only get their side of story so hard to know for sure. I have had re-write requests, but have never taken it personally, just looked at it as a way to improve. Have even had a rejection or two. Didn't always agree with their reasons, but just moved on.
Will share recipes!
PUDDING CAKE:
This is a great "children can do" recipe. Need cake pan, 1 angel food cake, 1 large box pudding mix-favorite flavor, coolwhip
1 angel food cake torn into pieces
Mix pudding according to directions
Pour pudding over cake pieces
Allow to firm up
Top with Cool Whip
Keep refrigerated!
Cool,light, yummy
CarolAnne, that sounds GREAT and easy. I have been wracking my brain for an easy dessert for Thanksgiving dinner and this is IT!
Maybe some strawberries on top for decoration. Oh, yah!
I typed a comment last night to Margy and Lori and found it still sitting in this box this morning.
FROM LAST NIGHT:
How's the finger, Margy? Be sure to give Jewels a hug from all of us for doing such a good job of keeping us informed about her Mama, she did a GREAT JOB!
LORI, the sleeping bag was brought by ups and is just waiting to find a home. You are so special to help our poor and homeless. I will let you know when we find a suitable
recipient
Costume Lady - glad you like it. It's an easy recipe to dress up if so desired. With all the pudding flavors available it can be made for most any occasion/season/holiday.
CAKE POPS - not really cake - easy as the pudding cake, but messier
1 pkg 8 oz cream cheese, SOFTENED
40 ginger snap cookies, CRUSHED
2 pkgs (8 sq ea) MELTED
Mix cr cheese & 2 c cookie crumbs until well blended
Shape into balls (about 30)
Place on wax papered cookie sheet
Freeze about 10 minutes
Dip in melted chocolate
To add decoration sprinkle with cookie crumbs, crushed candy cane, coconut, etc.
Keep refrigerated - inside becomes soft & creamy
Good Tuesday Morning Eagle Buds, coming to you from beautiful New Jersey ! Just began to catch up with this thread only, when I spotted Lynn's puzzlement over my flight. We did leave Columbus late, but USAirs crack pilots got us to Philly just 5 minutes late. Horrible traffic out of there, but we stopped to lunch a a good diner before heading home. All is well here ! DIL, Beth working at Food Pantry today, Lee teaching, so I'm happy to get puter time ! This evening we'll take Cooper to his Rock Climbing Club in Madison, and then look for a good place to eat while he climbs. I'm not enjoying Beth's Mac laptop, but will make the best of it.
SHIRLEY, dil is a skilled Scrabble player, but even so we'll play daily, giving me good mental exercise and her some good practice. Last night she got two Bingo's ! Final score: Kay 304, Beth 419 ! You could beat the socks off me too, I'm sure !
On to read more of the thread...
W
CAKE POPS CORRECTION:
Should read:
2 pkg (8 sq each) Baker's semi sweet chocolate MELTED
Excuse typos. Fingers too big for this little keyboard !
Kay,
Glad your trip was made without too much hassle.
Now sit back and enjoy!
WVDana - thanks for the comments on pics. Deer was actually a 12 pointer with 2 tines broken off. Yep, we will have meat to share for sure.
Agree with you on the whipped cream vs Cool Whip, but it is what my kids like (an acquired taste, I guess)
Good Morning, Everyone!
Lynn, glad to hear that you were able to get such a good night's sleep!
Kay, good to hear from you! Glad your flight made such good time, and that you are enjoying your visit.
It's c-c-c-o-l-d here this morning--about 44, but going up to 70, they predict. Have been outside to unlock side gate for the gardeners, and now am trying to warm up a bit. Coffee to the rescue!
Thanks to Steve and the folks at NCTC for the live feed this morning--the nest looks beautiful!
I have some bills to schedule for payment online, and more doctor reports to transcribe. Couldn't start my day without saying hello, though! Will be sort of in lurk mode. Have the sound turned up on the nest (hope it's working!), and will check back each time I finish a report.
Lori, Kubby and I may have to do an upside-down tree this year, with Emma around! Just had a tiny one atop the entertainment center last year. If we get a big tree, need a new one, since our old artificial tree's lights have quit working. Hmmmm.... upside down might work for us! :o]
Good Good Morning! Good to see all of you here. 97.1 is jumping!
Recliners are sleep savers
Thankful you rested well, Lynn.
Kay - aka Fat Fingers - I'm all over hubby's laptop and I do pretty miserable at time on my own keyboard..
I keep hitting Caps Locks.
Oh I must listen - Silver Bells!
Or, we could put our tree in the dining room in front of the patio slider. We'll think of something, I guess. Better get busy, so will say so long for now. HAGD, everyone! Love you gals and guys! VERY thankful for your friendship!
Have caught up on this thread. You don't need my input on all the interesting chat and topics but must say I'm glad you checked in, LINDA. Such a difficult time for you. God bless your beautiful mother and keep her comfortable. Your being there is key for her I'm sure !
I've pretty much retired from cooking/baking, but enjoy all the food and recipe talk !
LORI, you are REALLY into Christmas ! Not this Scrooge ! I do minimal decorating now, but enjoy seeing what others put together. How about some pics once your decorating is all done ?
I see on EM that we are having am REM naming run off. Good solution since no name had a clear majority. A delay for a good reason. Thank you, PAULA !
I can't figure out how to view the cam with this computer, and Beth isn't here to show me. May not be back til' tomorrow, but I'm with you and our eagles in spirit all the time.
Also can't figure out how to get our symbols, but I heart U and send you 7 hearts for good measure !!!
We heart U too Kay!!
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
GOOD TUES. MORN
TO EVERYONE.
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
[:~D] Jim
Sounds like some piece of machinery backing up to the Nest Tree and I hear voices.
Could be farm machinery?
Good Morning, Jim. Cold and rainy here in Nestville...47°. Rainy all day which probably means, no eagle visit:(
Morning Jim,
37 and mostly cloudy in Wisconsin
Hello again.
Thanks for recipes, CarolAnne!!! I am confused.....I see no post form DanaWV about whipped cream?????? Is it "missing" or had she emailed you??
Andy, I am wondering about the tree, too. After what I went through last year with Mai, I am afraid to see what Leisl can or will do....yikes!!!!!
Kay is safely ensconced in Joisey! Kay, see if you can see cam from this link:
LIve Feed
If I remember correctly from Deb, symbol marks don't work on a Mac.
Hedgie - Sorry for the confusion. WVDana did email me, but I'm having email problems this morning. Random mail keeps bouncing back as undeliverable - so hoped she'd catch it on the blog.
So no one is fessing up on my Cooley/Redskins shirt and cool card, huh???? The return address simply said Eaglet Momster. Post mark said WI.........am I to assume it was from you, CarolAnne???? Thank you, thank you, thank you---to you OR whoever the secret angel is!!!!!!
Good morning, Wanda, Carole Ann.
It's in the mid 40's in So Cal today too, and typically I'm never dressed for cold weather. The good news is that it'll be a bit warmer today at 66°.
I see the live feed is working again. Are they planning to scale the sycamore soon, or did they already do that??
[:~D] Jim
RE: protecting Christmas tree. Over the years we have used many options. When baby was crawling we put tree in playpen & let baby loose to wander around. Our best/prettiest option was a piece of plastic white lattice from garden shop. Tree was in corner, so laid lattice on its side around front of tree. Puppies couldn't fit through the diamond shaped openings of the lattice, and its snowy white color looked good.
As an aside: we now use the same lattice to block of the cat's litter boxes from the dogs. We just trimmed out one diamond so the cats can squeeze thru, but the dogs, now full grown can't get thru.
Good morning/ good afternoon everyone.
So glad to hear LYNN had a good sleep when she returned to the recliner.You are l ike a detective LYNN...I smiled about checking the post mark on your gift...Great Mind you have got...You and JUDIE and MISS MARPLE...LOL
Snowed over night and it is 34 degrees presently and speaks of going up to 43 today with rain...I hear the snow removal truck he just drove by...
CAROLANNE thanks for the suggestion that I could write as part time work...You are too kind...I only write when I have to do publicity for the organisations I belong to...I enjoy coming to the blog too...Thanks.
Good to hear from KAY and I am so glad you made a safe trip and that you have a way to come to the blog...
MARGY BEAUTIFUL about GRATITUDE. It warms my heart to read it.
I am having a hard time imagining LORI'S upside down tree...Picture please LORI...
From Monday's comments:
Sharon I check out the engagement photos of Kelsey and Andrew. They are just "awesome" pictures of both of them The music with them is so perfect. Lord just watching that slide show you can fell "they are in love". (: Thank you so very much for sharing your son and future DIL.
Mema Jo it is so good that you and Jenny had that nice long talk. Very special that you can be there for her.
Shirley you'll have to do something to protect your bulbs. The squirrels do love them..and you might not have any left that you planted.
Linda so happy you checked in although no happy it is from your Mothers Hospital bedside. I know this has to be hard on you. Being there all day to see your Mother is getting what she needs. Does she have a Pastor or a Priest that could come in and speak with her. He could explain even though she is ready to go see Jesus. If God is ready for her then he will call on her. He could explain that if God is not ready for her and if God is allowing her to get better. Then she should take that as to what God wants at this time for her. I pray for her to have peace about if they take her off the ventilator that she is so scare of coming off of. Maybe by them slowly taking it down she will be able to see she can breath on her own and the fear will leave her. I know you have a lot on your plate down there. Making sure peace is between family members.Plus being there with your Mother. Prayers for you my friend and the family and you Mother during this rough and hard time. Linda you are God's Blessing to your Mother. For her to look into her daughters eyes and nod yes she is ready to go to the Lord. My heart just goes out to you Linda. May prayers and that God comforts you and sustain you.
Still from Monday:
After helping Mother all day. Running errands she needed. Opening the car door, bending to hook her seat belt, and closing the car door. Carrying in all of her packages. Her HANDS ARE REALLY giving her a problem. She does get tired easily now too. I told her after all we did Monday. That we both needed to take a day or two and rest up. So that I can pick her up to go out for Thanksgiving Dinner. She understood and yes that would be good.
This girl is WHOOPED and in pain. I hurt from the back of my neck to the ends of my toes and everywhere in between.
See where Kathryn is bringing home Din Din and where Chirstie is to pick up chinese for her and Lynn. So Dana is going to call in Dana's Din Din after she takes a nap. I'll call it in to Dana LOL lol
Sharon your avatar is so cute....I went in and enlarged it..Had to giggle (:
DanaMo I love the things that are different that you do with the children at school. (:
Linda I like your avatar of your Mother. She is rally a pretty lady.
Linda the purple is for Pancreatic Caner Awareness Month but November is also Lung Caner Month. That is why my avatar is a little different and not all purple. Due to a lot of friend have had Lung Cancer. So I wanted to represent "both" Pancreatic cancer and Lun cancer.
I believe I'm still commenting on Mondays comments:
Hoda are the rum/brndy Christmas Fruit Cakes very strong of the rum and brandy. In other words is a person was a very "light" drinker. Would eating it make them drunk??? I know that sounds funny and probably is lol but needed to know.
Mema Jo going to Uno's. Do they have a buffett there? Like Ci Ci's? Hope you enjoyed (:
I still miss Hank for Monday Night
Football!!!!!!!! Just is not the same with out that start up song of his.
Neat Lynn you getting the mail and a Cooley/Skins T-Shirt. I did write to Cooley and told him about you. Only gave about the Fairfax Hospital and your name. Sorry he didn't visit you...I'll have to speak to him about that lol
I will go check out Glo's picture so I can vote for which one. When I get a chance.
Thank you Hoda and others for thinking of me and Mother.
So glad Kay's plane landed and she should be with family by now.
Margy be careful at Cacapon State Park. My brother was up there to go fishing. He had NOT left the Parking Lot. When he turned and seen BEARS more than one. The park Ranger said they have had to re-locate some because they keep coming in the parking areas.
I think I am on Tuesday comments now:
Lori nice that today is your Friday. lol lol you hung the Christmas tree upside down from the ceiling?????? What was you drinking may I ask???? LO LOL LOL cracking me up!!!
DanaMo are you getting to eat Dinner before you have this pig out?
Andy it does sound like doctor sent you a lot of work right before Thanksgiving. I pray you can get it all done. Feel good and have a nice Thanksgiving Day.
Margy I think Thanksgiving Day is NOT suppose to rain...should be a nice day.
Guess I should clarify that the upsdsie down Christmas tree is a smaller tree specifically for the bedroom...the bigger tree will go in the living room. The hanging tree is definitely kitten proof, and there's three of those little rascals in the house now...not sure how I'm going to put up the big tree in the living room without it looking like a giant toy to them. Well, I did buy some shatterproof ornament bulbs, so maybe I should just put it up, sit back and watch them have fun. :)
Still trying to get my new puter to load my cams pictures, so hopefully tomorrow I can put a picture up of the hanging tree.
My cataracts are getting worse...foggier and foggier, but I went to my Primary Care doc yesterday, got my flu shot and a quick exam.
They will get together with the insurance and mail me a referral to an ophthalmologist soon.
I can't drive now, so I'm very glad I finally found a low cost transportation program called "Access", which is run by our transit authority. Found out I was eligible just a few days before I had to use it yesterday. Just $2.70 each way anywhere in Orange County for just about any reason...groceries, movies, restaurant, sports. Eligible is eligible.
[:~D] Jim
CarolAnne do you know where
Eau Claire, Wisconsin is? Ed's nephew that is a truck driver. Ed use to meet him pick him up and bring him here to house. Whenever he was in area. Now if he gets to area. He calls I pick him up and we go out to eat near where his truck is parked. He has two children going to college. Son just got engaged and graduates this June. His girlfriend graduates next June.
Jim, I know the frustration of driving being curtailed. Due to vision problems cannot drive other than the immediate neighborhood. Hope they get things set up soon for you to get it corrected.
WVDana, I do know where EauClaire is, north & across the state from here. Very pretty part of the state.
WVDANA I do not think that a person could get drunk on Christmas Fruit cake...rum and brandy to taste is all.
I am off to yoga and errands...Will I need skates or boots with grips????I have no idea it looks icy out there, but it also speaks of rain...off to my day's adventure laughing and hoping for the knowing of a sense of wellness...See you all later...
LIFE IS GOOD.
Repeated thanks--to CarolAnne AND Lolly!!!!! LOL!!! I wrung it out of C/A!!!
Jim, don't understand the delay in the cataract situation. It's a no-brainer with Medicare! PLEASE get it taken care of pronto! Hope you will be able to get back "on the road again" after it's done. Good that you have the Access program in the meantime.
Hoda, due take care out there in those iffy weather conditions. One slip & fall is one too many.
Be careful, Hoda!!! No slippy-sliding!!!
BTW---no red alerts needed for Judie. She is okay. Busily embroiled in "deep" house cleaning!! She also needs to make pies to donate to the police officers on duty Thurs.!!!! She WILL find her way back to us SOON!
CarolAnne, I looked everywhere for the white fencing last year with NO luck for anything higher than 8"!!! Not nearly high enough to deter that pup I had then!!!! I ended up taking the tree apart, bringing an old 15"-high table out of the basement and putting half of my tree on it.......Mai STILL managed to crunch 2 lightbulbs!
Hedgie - now that I think about it I believe ours actually came from Menards, Home Depot or Lowes. One of those kinds of places. The one we have is 24" x 7' and flexible enough to bend in a half circle.
I had looked at Lowe's and Home Depot along with Michael's, Big Lots, and the $$$ stores. Didn't have time to order from anyplace---needed an immediate remedy!!!!
Well, nap time for me. Christie in on her way to work. I'll be on my own until after 11......unless I need Carolyn later, but successfully carried Leisl downstairs to go out before Chris left. If it wasn't raining I would just let her "go" on the deck....but she doesn't like rain!
BBL.
BTW---C/A---glad that I WASN'T missing posts!!!! Sorry you are having email difficulties. Are you at the cabin for the whole week???
Hedgie- I am currently home until tomorrow. Bubby will be back in the morning sometime to get the Thanksgiving food & me & the dogs.
I am able to watch the goings on at the cottage over the internet via our secuirty camera.
When they want to talk to me they stand in front of the camera & holler for me to call them. LOL
No matter where I am in the house the dogs get to barking when they hear his voice, so I know to go look at the computer screen.
Received this in a card today, it's a nice thought for any holiday or special occasion:
Can't be there to share your Thanksgiving . . . but love has a wonderful way of keeping special people together in thought -- regardless of where they're spending the day.
Hee Hee, talking to myself, but that will give you all something to read when you get back here. :o)
Back to packing, lurking, mumbling etc.
CA That is a very special thought for those who aren't with us at Thanksgiving
or any other holiday.
Wet, wetter, wettest!
and now, cold...not an extremely pleasant night
but it is nice to have a safe warm roost to come home too..
I am GRATEFUL for that...
figure the nest is putting on a few pounds of Water Weight this week
Been thinking about a nap all day, going to go have one!
ttfn ♥ Hope all are well...
xo
Lynn I hop[e you are having a good nap
The rain has NOT stopped and the puddles
are getting deep. Barely a leaf left on
the tree
I didn't venture out of the house today
I had made plans but canceled them.
Hi all, I have never posted on this blog but always use it as my source of info. for what's happening at the Shepherdstown nest. I keep reading posts indicating that folks have sound; I don't. Can anyone suggest a fix? I had sound during last nesting season. Thx. Sandi
deep deep puddles developing around here too Jo..
GOOD Day to stay home, smark thinking !
CarolAnne love what that card said that you posted on here.
I put one up on facebook for Thanksgiving.
Lynn it was about a commerical I seen but can't remember all of it:
Girl holds up cool whip and say's "do you want lard" then she holds up "whipped cream in the can" and say's "THAT IS WHAT I CAN'T REMEMBER....but moral to story is the can of whipped cream is suppose to be and taste better.
My Granddaughter at Ft Bragg turns 29
today! Happy Happy Birthday, Christine.
Her youngest daughter did this --
Nothing like waking up and hearing the sweet tiny footsteps come running through the hall and then with such excitment yelling "Happy Birthday"! She was so excited and then proceded to give me a huge hug and kiss.
HI sandi
some of us reloaded Adobe and included the Adobe Flash Player also...hope that helps
As far as for me Sandi
I had to download Adobe 11
You might want to wait to hear from others on here first.
Happy Birthday Wishes to Christine, Jo...
nice little story about the little one...
Makes a person feel even MORE special no doubt
see you fine folks a little later on
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FORT BRAGG GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER OF MEMA JO'S Christine--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
Sandi, what browser are you using? Try to make sure your adobe flash player has the latest version.
And Welcome Sandi!
and you might or might not have to restart your computer, Sandi, after doing that, some did not....
I did just for greens...
Good Luck, and Come Back Anytime and Chitty Chat with us !
Hi Sandi! This is a very pleasant surprise seeing you here.
They went up yesterday for cam maintenance - NU was in the nest and trimmed some twigs/limbs in the way of
our view. I had sound earlier but I don't at the moment. We are in the process of voting for a name of our new male - we lost Lib last year. Belle is still our gal and the pair have been refurbishing the nest.
It is rainy and dark out but the night
light must be on.
By the way WELCOME SANDI hope you can from the couple of comments get the sound on the live feed. That way you will be ready for if we get chicks (:
Hope you have a Wonderful Thanksgiving Day Sandi.
WVDana,
We got started on the Cool Whip kick when my children were babies. Both were lactose intolerant, which meant no dairy products, so it was birthday cake & cool whip for them.
Now Cool Whip has real cream in it (or so the label states). Probably as a result of the negative commercials.
Welcome Sandi
You won't find a nicer, more helpful group than this!
I love cakes that have the icing made with cool whip...instead of all sugar icing.
I think the eagles are held up in the pines where they have better cover from the wet weather.
Mine keeps timing out at 14 minutes and some seconds. Even if I hit the play button it does not start have to refresh.
I use Firefox as my browser and just downloaded Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.183.11 - still can't hear anything. I am well aware of the goings-ons at the nest and the voting that you are all doing. This will be my 4th year watching this cam (my son and daughter-in-law live in Ranson, WV and my daughter-in-law told me about the nest in Shepherdstown b/c she knew I loved eagles and was already following the nest at Norfolk Botanical Gardens). As I said,I've often read this blog for the latest info. I was glued to my computer (as much as I could be when I wasn't teaching) through everything that happened last spring. I am sad that Liberty is gone and prefer to think that he is alive and well and has just moved on rather than thinking that... I'm also glad that Belle has a mate, even if it's not Liberty, b/c ... no mate, no eaglets! I will settle for just watching but would love to be able to hear them as well. So any other advice would be appreciated - there are a gazillion different Adobe downloads, can someone be very specific? Thx.
Try downloading shockwave flash
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
That is what my firefox is using
Well it was a busy day in kindergarten. Applesauce was made today. Made the butter today too!Going to make the pumpkin pie in a cup and the cornbread in the morning.Cornbread will be warm :)
Can't believe that on Monday we will be making Advent wreaths and getting our Christmas program together! Geez...
DanaMo - it goes so fast for the adults, and takes forever for the holiday to get here for the little ones.
I think that's the difference...give it a whirl!
Bet the kiddos had fun, DanaMo.
DanaMo, did you ever get your sound working?
I think I have sound. It's hard to tell at night. I feel like I hear camera sounds.
Yes it does go faster for the adults. I don't do anything for my own family until school lets out! I don't do any shopping, I can't think and I don't have the energy to run after school! Those kinders wear me out! ☺ It's a good worn out.
Had 3 kids move their name to yellow today and they cried. I told them they could earn back their green. Geez...what a pushover I am!!
Home from work I got a good one do you want a good laugh
Well remember the cell phone tower eagle in that area there is a taller tower and I did see a bird on it the other day so I decided to see what kind of bird I pulled in just across the street and saw something big and moving I got my camera out took some pic not seeing what it was then I got the video going and all of a sudden the thing I thought was a eagle or osprey not for sure being it was getting dark or dusk I should say Well it started moving again and all of a sudden a ARM YEP it was a man in the tower I burst out laughing out loud and then commenced to drive over and talked with the man way up in the tower He got the biggest kick out of my story Funny hun there looked to be something of a nest material when I looked up from under it I hope it wasn't a eagle nest I think they made a mess of it I did get a pic of his truck they had a long rope down No bucket truck I thought that was odd Wouldn't you think that if they were workers for a co they would use a bucket truck instead a rope
I didn't see the eagle by the time I drove by the other toooo dark
Java and I are fighting over the keyboard. That's what happens when you let your dog sit on the kitchen chair!
Monte and Aric are on the way home! Won't get here until about 1 am!
No visit again tonight I wonder whats up with our eagles

I put on my blog a letter I submitted to the Nelson Papers for publication. I hope it gets published.
Hoda,
Fantastic letter.
Still think you could have a second career as a writer. (hint, hint, hint)
You are so articulate and compassionate about your subject matter.
Downloaded shockwave and then restarted my computer - I have sound!! Woohoo! Thanks one and all for the suggestions and for the very warm welcome. I notice that no one here seems to use his/her picture as an avatar. Am I not supposed to let any of you know what I look like? =)
Lynn when you get better you are going to have to have the girls take you to Leesburg. Chris Cooley has his pottery Gallery open there. His pottery work is beautiful.
LOL Sandi
Its great to see who we are speaking with. Just seems that we get themes going for our avatars. Right now most are purple for Cancer month.
Good evening. I'm back. Had a good nap this afternoon---woke up when the doorbell rang. It was an Edible Arrangements fruit basket. No specific ID on who sent it---it said Eagle Momsters and Dadsters.....using my genius sense of investigative powers I have concluded that it must have been sent by JUDYE! So THANKS to JUDYE!!!! Very generous!
Welcome, Sandi. Even tho' I live in Berkeley Co., which is next door to Jefferson Co., my youngest daughter and her hubby live in Ranson, too! Many people don't have sound---I only have it about half the time. And it is practically inaudible on my laptop. Better on the PC.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Jo's gd Christine!!! Her girls must have been so excited!!!!
Lousy day with lots of traffic ramifications among others. Report a little while ago of an 87 y.o. man in a tree house near my old house with breathing difficulties. Now WHY would a man that age be in a tree stand in the pouring rain????
I think the rain has slacked off, at least for the moment. Time to heat up some leftovers for dinner.
LOL, JudyE---thought you were going to say it was a TURKEY in the tower nest!!!!
Sandi-I use my picture as my avatar often. I also use my dogs...and kindergarten crafts! LOL!
We all change our avatars very frequently.
I will change mine right now so you can "see" me. ☺
Very nice letter, Hoda!!!!
Lynn did you read back just a little?
Yes, Danawv, why?
What grade do you teach Sandi?
You should have been here last week. We all had posted pictures of Tom Seleck, and hamburgers, and alcoholic beverages.
DanaMo---are you going to dress like a Pilgrim tomorrow?? I just know your kids LOVE your class!!!
Grrrr----I am getting SO sick and tired of these stupid charity and survey phone calls. Just don't realize what an aggravation a ringing phone is until you don't feel good!!!
Wouldn't you want to go when you are better to Chris Cooley's Pottery Store and maybe buy a piece of his work? It is only down in Leesburg
No I don't have a pilgrim outfit. Never thought of that before. Might have to look into it. I think I have a colonial hat, I could do a black skirt and a white apron. Wouldn't be too hard would it?
DanaMo, I WAS here last week, reading but not posting, so I saw all the old Tom Selleck pics! For the past 5 years, I have been an 8th grade special ed. resource teacher at a middle school near Bethany Beach, DE where we now live. Before that, I taught in Baltimore County, MD for 22 years, 7th grade remedial reading and 4th and 5th grade. I know there are a number of teachers on this blog.
I understand the irritation LYNN. I have call display and unless it tells me who is phoning I do not answer the phone!!! They were getting a bit out of hand I would say.
Thanks LYNN and CAROLANNE for your words about the article...I will be pleased if it gets published also the Grans to Grans are looking forward to some publicity.
My day was hilarious. In the morning the roads were slippery and they were out there doing their best to clear the roads and the side walks. By the time I cam out of yoga it was raining and the streets and sidewalks were cleared and I actually took my ice grippers off and thought my coat was a bit too heavy for the weather!!! LOL...when I started the day thinking it was cold I saw a sail boat out on the water!!! Looked out of place somehow to be sailing in the cold weather...it went up from 23 degrees to 43 degrees today!!! Almost could be said it is balmy!!!LOL
Oh, I see what you meant, Danawv. Yes....I know all about Cooley's Gallery. Been by it but not in yet. Watched film footage of the special kiln being built, too.
Oh wow, better you than me! Although, I have had middle school teachers say the same to me! ☺
My youngest daughter is in 8th grade this year.
Remember the day we all say the "face" in the nest and the "man" in the tree. One morning I turned on the cam and thought the eagle was in the nest. I captured what I saw, it's on my pic blog. Doesn't it look like an eagle or am I just that out of it. Mind you, it was dark, AND my screen size was small so I could have two windows open.
we *saw* not say! geez time to get off the computer!
Awesome, Sandi, glad you now have sound! I have a place on the eastern shore, south of Salibury.
LOl Hoda, it does sound like a heat wave!
Anyone else like pierogies? Mrs T's has a new kind out, cheese and jalapeno.
Coffee is set up for the morning so I think I will take my tired self up to my room and watch tv in bed.
Great letter, Hoda. I can feel your gratitude ☺
Dear God!!! I just read three American students got arrested amid the Cairo, Egypt protests!!!
They will not have a very good THANKSGIVING I am afraid. Prayers go to their families. God Help Us All!!!
lol DanaMo I read that post where you said "dark" lol as "drunk" I thought WHAT!!! Went back and re-read it lol sorry...
Sandi we have retired teachers now. Shirley just retired and Judie teaches about Serial Killers. Lolly used to be a teacher. Her daughter Laurel is a teacher. Lets see who else...hum
Hoda I think use to be a teacher.
Once you retire you try to figure out how you did all you did when you was working. Now Shirley is always busy being retired.
You live in Ranson and I'm near Martinsburg.
You should come to our Dinner we have after Open House. Come to Open House in April at NCTC the eagles will be there and hopefully chicks in the nest. Usually it is in Oct. and you don't really get a chance to see the eagles. So April should be really nice.
Thanks PAULA. I love pwerogies and we have a wonderful store here that sells them and they are like homemade. A local chap...Fresh and very tasty...
evening all!
WET SOGGY YUK EVENING that is!
Welcome Sandi! Where in Batlo. Co did you teach? I live in the county!
Ya know, some days at work, I have to deal with really stoooopid people. Usually, it's not too terrible. But what I saw today made me want to kick a guy in the ...... you know whats. Will spare the details, but had to VENT VENT VENT
thank you and I'll now return to my regularly scheduled blogging
DanaWV.....ROFLMAOA off! Shirley is busy being retired...ain't that the truth!
Have been keeping and eye out for the eagle in the area, but no luck so far....
Oh Hoda, how lucky are you. Michael gets homemade pierogies in Philadephia.
Hoda, been hearing bits and pieces of the things going on in Egypt (I try to never intentionally watch the news) and I pray for the safety of your family.
Ok all of my eagle peeps I have to run something by you Now I don't feel comfortable doing this but a couple of associates at work are doing and and spreading it around I don't think it is right Maybe I am wrong I just need your valued opinion I single can either claim 0 or 1 on my taxes during the year Well a few associates that are also single told me they changed their exemptions to 4-6 and that way they get more money on the pay checks at the end of the year and then they change it back This week they are allowed OT and we get our 450. Bonus and the old timers get our Christmas bonus of 100. so that way they don't take it all in taxes Do you understand what they are doing Isn't that sort of wrong??????
I am going to go watch Tue TV I am a TV addict big time
wvgal_dana, I live in Bethany Beach, DE. My son and his wife have their home in Ranson (on Old Leetown Pike), though they are currently renting the house while they are living in Dar as Salaam, Tanzania for 2 years (my son works for the US Dept. of State and is currently working at the US Embassy in Tanzania. Are you familiar with P.I.G.S. Animal Sanctuary in Shepherdstown? Melissa, the gal who runs the place, is babysitting my grandpig and my granddonkey while my son and his wife are out of the country. I went there with my son when he dropped the animals off for their extended visit - is the nest close to there?
Yes, it's been going on now for 4 days....hope it can end peacefully and to the satisfaction of the Egyptian people.
Sandi, the nest is about 6 miles outside of Shepherdstown, north of town, about 1/2 mile from the Potomac River.
Sandi,
Lovely picture of yourself. Here I am with my daughter at her graduation.
Thanks LYNNE...They are doing the best they can, yet the situation is not good...I avoid watching the news too yet am drawn to small amounts of it...Prayer works best for me.I can pray and I can not control what happens there or anywhere else for that matter. Now I worry about the three American students, they are only in their teens...I went to The American University Of Cairo for two years after my exchange year with AFS...This is where these three lads were taking their courses on leave from their Universities in the USA. It will be one Thanksgiving they will not forget!!! I feel sorry for them and for their families.
Sandi, we have been know to change avatars as often as our socks around here! Sometimes we get a "theme" going. This past weekend was purple, for pancreatic awarness.
My avatar is rare and elusive Turgle.
JudyE, I don't think there is anything wrong with changing your exemptions on your paycheck. I had people come to me in the past and change them because they needed money around Christmas or whatever. I always asked them to be careful in doing that...did they get a refund last year, etc. I didn't wan't them to end up owing at the end of the year.
Lynne2, I taught at Berkshire Elem. in Dundalk, at Red House Run in Rosedale, and at Pine Grove Middle in the Cub Hill area. My husband and I were both born and raised in Balto. and our families are still there - will be headed there for Thanksgiving. DanaMo, I could never teach kindergarten! That said, I didn't move to middle school until both my boys were in high school. Would never want to spend all day with middle schoolers and then come home and have to live with them!! I tell parents all the time that I LOVE their kids b/c I know the secret - I only have to deal w/ them for an hour a day!! =D
Hado, what happened to the 3 students?? I haven't heard!
And JudyE, the employer is either going to pay the tax difference either to the employee or the government, so it's not like you are cheating the company.
I live in Randallstown, Sandi, in western Balto. Co.
DanaMo---I can't make out anything from your pic---sorry!!! Yes, your idea for a pilgrim outfit would work fine!!!!
Paula, I've had those peirogies before. Food Lion finally got them earlier this year but Chrsitie has been getting them at Martin's for over a year. Good, aren't they?
DanaWV---I seriously doubt that I could afford anything for sale in Cooley's Gallery!!!
Sandi, actually our Judie is a criminal psychology professor at GWU and her field encompasses far more than just serial killers!!
Sleep well, DanaMo! Aric will be there when you wake up!!! Hurray!!!
Hoda lovely writing you have such a way with the words
Forgot to tell you a story today Remember the gator at work Well apparently the other nite our manager called to police the gator was not in the enclosed fence around the pond the was butting his head against the Composite container in the parking lot at work That is where all the food goes and is sold to for pig slop I guess and they showed up and got big stick and put him back in the pond behind the fence I just wonder how he got out I will look as I walk in to work in the am just curious to see
Thanks for the feed back Vickie at work said I should do it They asked me if I wanted to work Thur and Fri being its my NA day they can't schedule me unless they ask I said no that it has never been worth it to me just take out more taxes
and I just like the time off
Another funny story or maybe you won't think it funny but a bunch of at work do
Someone found a dollar bill on the floor in front of one of the time clocks They took a tack and put it on the bulletin board above the clock now that was Friday Well I usually don't use that time clock so I didn't see it till Mon when I did use that clock instead of the other and I asked about it Well silly me took a dollar and added to it I told my boss Co Stu and he laughed and guess what he added a dollar also Well today is one day later and now there is 7 on the board Funny when it was 4 on the board I told Bob and he said he wanted to put up a dollar also but only had a 5 and just wanted to take the 4 ones and put the 5 up I told him no that no one will put up more 5's but they will ones so guess I was right because the 4 went to 7 by today Funny huh I can't wait till tomorrow to see how much more there is
Commercial over back to TV
Sandi, some of us recently donated to P,I.G.S. for a special rescue project they had going. Haven't been there, but am well-acquainted with their endeavours! I know the mail address is S'town, but I'm not sure of the exact location in relation to NCTC.
Sounds like a great assignment your son is on!
JudyE----people can claim whatever they want for deductions. But when they file their taxes, they will not get any refund to speak of and may end up owing!!!
well folks, heading for the shower and bed. Need to be at work pretty early tomorrow....there is already a madhouse of appts. booked and like today and yesterday, it will likely be the STORM before the calm.
Have a good night and prayers for all!
Beautifully written letter Hoda.
You belong to such wonderful groups and have such a variety of interests.
Nelson is fortunate to have you.
BTW...MIL just called, said this was the worst trip they have ever made to Balto from TA. So glad they got here safely!!!
Hedgie, Was the special rescue project that you donated to for Grace, the sweet dog they rescued who was eventually put down? I send a monthly donation to P.I.G.S. b/c I am so grateful to Melissa for taking Sir Bryan (my daughter-in-law's donkey) and Posey (my son's potbelly pig) until my son and his wife return to the states in 2013.
Nice to meet you, Sandi. Welcome to the blog.
Sorry you had such a bad time at work today, Lynne. I can only imagine, but prefer not to. I hope tomorrow is much better.
Geez, DanaMo's kindergarten class gets better everyday. What a fun, and GREAT, teacher you are. I'm craving cornbread now!
Lynn, how are you feeling? Carrying Leisl is good progress as long as you have a smile on your face when you're doing it. It'll be sunny by Thanksgiving. ♥
Got a card-reader for my computer today, so maybe I can load a few pictures for the my blog tomorrow.
Thanks JUDYE and SHIRLEY. Kind Words.
LYNNE three teen aged American students were arrested in Cairo Egypt today for participating in the protests is what CBS reported.
Hoda, Nelson is fortunate to have you. I'm sure it's as wonderful as you make it sound. You really brought out the town's sense of humanity. You should be proud. Great job.
I second all that LORI said, HODA. We are proud to have you in our group. Of course, we were proud before you became a celebrity:)
I see we have a newbie...must read back a ways.
Good evening my eagle budlets! I am going to bed to watch some TV. Will check in from here. ♥♥♥ and ((((HUGS)))) to you all, my wonderful friends!
Sandi, yes it was for poor Grace.
:(
Echoing all of the comments to Hoda!
Lynne, sorry about the rough day---but I guess all days in a vet office can be rough. :(
Just got my shower. How I long for a soak in the tub. Liesl did not like being shut out of the bathroom....and she is now letting me know that she is ready for bed. She did FINALLY go out for the ultimate result 45 mins. ago, so all is well! BBL.
Watched NCIS
Now watching NCIS:LA
Lynn I had taped last week's for you
Flashpoint wasn't on last week
Sandi - I have summer home in the Fenwick Island area.
Back to TV - commercial over
Terrific, we have another school teacher...you gals are such fun and have great stories from the classroom:)
SANDI and LYNN, the Pig Sanctuary is just up the road from me on Persimmon lane. I thought I was going to get a pig to roast for Karla's wedding reception...whoa, was I mistaken. Now I know what it is! My bad:(
Thank You LYNN WANDA and LORI...my head is getting really swollen now I probably will need a bigger pillow to sleep!!!LOL
Welcome again Sandi!
Hoping that Wednesday is a day OFF, and the start of a five-day week-end for you.
We are happy to have you amongst us, and, Yay you got Sound...
Ask a question, get many answers here...
xo ♥
My real name is Margy ☺
Ah, Lynn....God ON Liesl...there ain't nuthin' quite like the Ultimate Result !
Feel that way myself sometimes ☺
Sandi,
as you must know from our blog posts...we also were doing
"Gratefulness Avatars" for the month of November, a really neat and wildly popular event this month... Lori got this idea going for us...
I am grateful for so much...but since you mentioned about pictures of ourself, well, I am Magpie ☺
xo
Lynn....
Thanks for letting us know that Judie checked in with you...understand her being busy....
hmmm, making pies? Sounds good to me !
Heard today that one of our part-time employees, is bringing in Thanksgiving meal fixin's to the office for us Thursday ♥
He's a minister, full-time.
Hoda
I fully plan on reading your article in a little bit....
am sure in advance that it is an A+++ composition...
Someone I know here needs a shower, hmmm, I live alone, guess I know who that is !
Best wishes for a good rest-of-the evening, Precious Pals....
see you before bedtime (my bedtime that is...)
xoxo ♥ ((Hugs ♥ ))
MARGY so happy that you will get the Thanksgiving fixings on Thursday. Good on him that Minister and part time colleague of yours...
Thanks, Jo---I taped everything last week and have watched almost all of it!!
WANDA!!!! I surely am glad that you got straightened out about P.I.G.S.!!!!! They actually started out at a pot-brellied rescue back when they were SO popular---until people realized they didn;t stay wrinkly pigllets forever. They've done a lot of good work through the years.
Margy, nice of Tom to bring in TG dinner for your crew. I was trying to figure out how to take leftovers for you and Carolyn without hurting the others---since they were coming from someone elses meal besides mine,I wouldn't be able to take TOO much!!!!
sandi This picture will identify four of us from the SSCC (Sunrise Sycamore Cyber Cafe)
Magpie(Margy) DanaMo, Myself, and Lori
This is a picture of the nest to the right of the barn in the background
I was just up there last month and meet 8 other momsters and dadsters at the NCTC campus which is so beautiful
Hey you all need to give her directions to two corners to view the nest from the road
I had DVR'd the Good Wife and of course the show prior ran over about a half and hour so I watch part of it on the internet I am so glad that you can see it on the computer
I guess I will have to record the show after from now on to be safe I remember this happening when I was up there I came home and it did it also
Thanks Lynn..understand that, so this idea of Tom's will help...and hey! we might need those leftovers on Friday ☺
Hoda, thanks, AND he is a good cook! Also he is hosting some some sort of a "Wings Fest" Wednesday night, and if there are leftovers from that we might get some of those also!
Okay bubbles are hollering for some attention...
bbl

Hi all! It has been a fun, busy day! We took a drive that was breathtaking ! And. The drive was a little scary as it was over snow, ice, and mud! Then we hiked to a waterfall ! It was spectacular!
No time to really read all the blog, miss you all!
Love and hugs!
Love you too, Lolly. Have a wonderful time!
Hitting the hay
((Hugs for all))♥
After listening to the news, I'm not feeling very sorry for those 3 American who were arrested in Egypt. They were protesting (which is ok, I guess, but they were throwing rocks...not ok! Govt. will step in.
Need to get to bed early, my Great White Hunter is coming home tomorrow and I didn't get my hair washed and curled. I got caught in the rain taking groceries into GG's. I am really pitiful looking. It was too late when I got home, so I will get up very early and see if I can fix me:)
GOOD NIGHT MY DEAR FRIENDS
SLEEP WELL AND LONG
