I DISLIKE THIS COLD WEATHER AND WE ARE GETTING ANOTHER ON NEST WEEK THEY SAY ITS 60 IN ST PETE BUT 40 IN BROOKSVILLE THE WATER KEEPS SOME AREAS WARMER MY HOUSE IS COLD I DON'T CARE WHAT THE TEMP IS OUT SIDE BRRRRR
Morning all, Speaking of resolutions, instead of the eat less, exercise more, here's a few we all might want to consider:
I resolve to mend a quarrel Seek out a forgotten friend. Write a letter long overdue. Share some treasure. Give a soft answer. Listen. Encourage youth. Keep a promise. Find the time. Forgive an enemy. Apologize if wrong. Think first of someone else. Laugh a little. Laugh a bit more. Express gratitude. Take pleasure in the wonders of the earth. Speak your love.
OK LM I need to go get some cloths on and get ready to go get Jordyn and stick my nose out the door to see if its really chilly out of just me in the house being cold
Morning Sandi, Have a good day ladies. We are in for some nasty weather this a.m. - rain/sleet/snow. Some bad accidents yesterday when we had a band of this weather pass thru. Started about 5 am, must get dog walks in before it gets too bad.
Weather man is crazy it is not 60 out off course I don't live in StPete Angies does surrounded by water keeps warmer and we are not 60 out I need to by a out door thermometer I guess to be accurate but sweatshirt weather
SANDI, I agree, the nest bathed in sunshine is a beauteous thing ! I'm giving our eagles 20 minutes to put in another appearance. If not, I'm movin' on for a while.
Thelma, it was Wed. that Belle came twice and stayed for a very long time. Shep came and went but Belle stayed planted in the nest - that was the very windy day.
Sandi-I'm still hurting but not as bad this morning. The trick for me, it appears, is to only do what is "safe" so I don't hurt it worse again. Thanks for asking.
Hi, gang! T-bird....please pamper that back....but get it checked out if no better soon! How did you fall? You DO remember that Momsters are NOT allowed to fall anymore, right??
CarolAnne---love your resolution list! Be careful in the bad weather.
DanaMo--did you get the copy of your folk's anniversary article I sent you? I STILL don't find it in Herald's online site in order to share with the group.
A cold 27° here, but supposed to warm up later....we shall see! There asre still snowflakes on the deck from last night's squall.
I slept well...no BAD dreams; just two silly ones!
Oh dear me, peel me off the ceiling. I posted my "good morning," then I fell asleep in my recliner with the TV on. Oh, my gosh! Loud buzzing! One of those test emergency things. Yikes!
I am a person who does not tolerate a loud alarm clock. I do not need to awake to loudness. Ruins me for the day.
Okay, y'all got to slow down. Has everyone forgotten there is a blog speed limit? Well, okay, there really isn't one. I'm just too slow to keep up.
Slept through the morning visit.
Really like the resolutions, CarolAnne. Thanks for the reminder of other possibilities we too often overlook.
Glad you feel some better Thelma. Please be careful.
Shirley, want to hear about my wannabe adult who slept through 5 very loud alarms and missed the final exam? I also do not like loud alarms. Don't like waking up with a racing heart and pulse.
Will be out of here for lunch and then to pick up a few grosseries for the weekend.
I have heard of people having to put alarm clocks on the far side of the the room so that they have to get up to turn it off.
When I was in college, I had a clock radio that clicked loudly when it came on. The click was enough to wake me. And I preferred to wake up and turn it on before it had a chance to click.
I think it would be dangerous to sleep that soundly. Too much can happen.
I once climbed the wall--literally--when the phone rang while I was sleeping. It was when I was a newlywed. My husband was astonished and we always kept the phone on his side of the bed after that.
Of course, I had to overcome that reaction when I did substitute teaching, but one can control how loudly the phone rings, thank goodness.
Went back to bed after our early morinng airport run. Michael will be home by 11am! Not bad.
Diann - it was me that mentioned ahead of the pain to Karla. If you are guilty of waiting until you feel the pain, you of all people should take heed and take those pain medications as prescribed every so many hours. It may do the trick for you that way, You have suffered enough, dear lady! TELL HER LYNN!!
Lynn - Happy to hear you got a good nights sleep last night. It makes such a difference, especially when your body is dealing with so much.
Shirley - I am right with you on the loud noises. It does not take much to startle me and the louder noises put me thought the roof.
Sharon - Glad Chelsea liked your DVD movie choices. I sure can relate to that proud mother's love, especially when your one and only comes home!! Enjoy!
Hoda - Enjoyed the Jerusalem song. Thanks for sharing.
CarolAnne - Loved the resolutions, too. We live in a "me" society that does not stop and take the time to look out for others, it is sad.
Thelma - Glad to hear you are feeling a little better. Hope you are taking something round the clock for your pain, too, even if it is Tylenol or Advil. Stay ahead of that pain.
Now if I would take my own advice, I might be doing a little better. I just can't decide what to take. Aspirin isn't doing the trick. Maybe I will try some Aleve and see if it works better. Moist heat is helping, though.
I'm starving!! I think I will go get some late breakfast and warm up this cold coffee.
Lynn - Thanks for explaining the possibilities of the lead found in the WCV eaglet found. I never would of thought of the sinker in the fish or lead from a carcass.
Why would they want him to be stable enough for anesthesia? Would they want to do exploratory surgery for the lead
They said the prognosis was poor. Prayer is definitely in line,
Good morning! I am with Judie, I think there should be a speed limit on the blog. LOL By the time I get on it takes forever to catch up.
Thelma, so sorry for the fall and the pain in your back. Glad it is better, but you really should get to the doctor.
Lynn, so glad you had a good nights sleep. My dreams are always silly and if I start to have a nightmare, I have a way of waking myself up and stopping it!???? Do not know how I do it, but I do.
Hi, Linda. They can get better x-rays and a more thorough examination when the eagle is anesthetized. The lead contamination is the most harmful threat to birds of prey since DDT, along with fishing line (entanglement). Sadly, it looks like wwe will never get laws passed to ban lead in ammo and lures.....too much big money opposition.
Thanks again for the further explanation, LYNN. That does make sense for better x- rays. Poor eagle :-(
Lolly - we can be a chatty group! It does take time to catch up. I have to come up with a plan to keep up better.
We need to elect a historian to summarize the day's posts every 12 or 24 hours and report the noteworthy things we would not want to miss!
Good luck with that one on more than one account!! What is important to report and who would the lucky speed reader, excellent writer person be with time to spare in their life to do all that?
Andrew and Kelsey slept like rocks in my bed. His mother, however, did not sleep well at all on the day bed. I will trade a night's sleep for him being here any day. They have gone to lunch with friends now. I love that kid!
Interesting thing just happened--A man from the county tax assessment office just came to my door wanting to know if we had any earthquake damage. He said that there have been seven households on my street that reported damage. I showed him the tiny cracks in the foundation and he made a note of it. I don't even know that those cracks were caused by the quake.
He said that he had a crack large enough that daylight is shining through. He lives in town.
There are 3 turkey vulture outside my sunroom window. One is on the roof of a neighbor's house, one is sitting in a tree, and the 3rd is on the ground eating something. Since I have never seen an eagle in person but these 3 guys are pretty up-close and personal right now, can one of you "country ladies" give me a frame of reference for how an eagle's size compares to these 3 guys I'm watching?
LINDA did you fall? Is this why you have back pain? AM I confused? I guess I will not be the speed reader who will summarize the posts every 12 to 24 hours!!! LOL
THELMA do be careful and I agree with LYNN get your back checked in case of a hair line fracture or discs out of alignement...
As to MISS BELLE and YOGA POSES from SANDI and the morning crew...I have it on authority that she was doing GARUDASANA...you got it EAGLE POSE. I spend time wrapping one leg over the other and then wrapping my arms around each other and then as I am balancing on one leg I lean forward and bend my knee...It is so funny to describe but it is a GREAT pose...so I think MISS BELLE being an eagle does not have to get twisted in knots, but any pose she does is GARUDASANA...
CAROLANNE I love the picture of you and your Husband. GREAT avatar. Awesome resolution list too.
JACK IS A KEEPER LOLLY...do you even have to ask him or does he do it on his own?
TV: Adults are 24 to 28 inches tall with a wingspan between 63 and 71 inches.
Bald eagle is 27 to 35 inches tall with a 71 to 90-inch wingspan.
They are pretty close in size and a TV has such an ugly face. I used to have 3 that hatched in a barn across from where I lived in Bedford. I loved watching them.
SHARON, enjoy your time with ANDREW and KELSEY...You are at work and they are visiting and you will get together later tyhe afternoon...GRAND simply GRAND...
I guess I will start my way from this thread and go backwards.
I thought there would be a new thread.
I would not allow myself to get on the computer until I vacuum cleaned at least the main bath, and living room and swipped up the kitchan and laudry room. That leaves me 2 bedroom and another bath.
I really did take breaks and was tempted to turn on computer. I held out. My arms, hands and fingers are swollen and in pain. Although that is what happens if I vacuum clean one area and rest 20 minutes and do some and rest 20 minutes and finish the one room. All is good becauce I know God is in control.
Hoda I pray you connect with your friend in Revelstoke. Prayers for those caught in the avalanches.
Prayers for Thelma's back and Linda's pain in upper neck and back.
I see Sharon is "flying in the clouds" with Andrew and Kelsey there. Prayers for Andrews shoulder.
Lori so more optical zoom is better than more digital zoom?
CarolAnne thanks for the list of resolutions.
Enjoy your visit with the Thompson gals Mema Jo and hope you are feeling better today. Still keeping you in prayer.^j^
I have told people about the lead in ammuniation and in sinkers. They just look at me like, "I don't give a crap". SAD :(
Lynn I see your carriage arrived. Prayers go with you my lady.
Neat that our Sweet Margy dropped in to see you last night.
Need to eat some ceral for breakfast well maybe lunch.
Good afternoon! What is in the nest??? Lynn-I received the article yesterday, thank you so much! Jo-We did go to the new lanes last night. We had a great time. Son #2, Aric, kicked everyone's butt! The new place is very nice, but rather pricey it seems. Then again, I always say everything is expensive for a family of 6.
WVDANA...it is all good...Revelstoke avalanche was triggered by one skier and he got out safe and no one else was injured either...RCMP, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, just put out a report this morning.I do not have friends in Revelstoke but pray for every ones savety anyway. My friend, Kevin Titus, lives in Pemberton the other ski avalanche area. He is OK and so are his twin sons...No further news as to casualties from there...It is all good. The RCMP seem to have it all under control from the news this morning...
Sharon, Thanks for the info. on turkey vulture vs. eagle size. They may have ugly faces and eat dead things but I'm still mesmerized by watching them take off and land right outside my window! When we go to Balto. to visit my mom, we use her bed and she sleeps on a daybed in the spare room. I'm sure she gets a lousy night's sleep but am also sure she's happy to do it to have us there! Hoda, I Googled garudasana. You can make your body do that??? I knew there had to be an eagle- related yoga position!! But the images I saw show women standing on just one leg and, when Belle does it, she stands on 2, plus she makes it look so effortless! Then again, maybe you can do it just as effortlessly!! =D OK, off to spend my Christmas money today! BBL!
I am off to do yoga and will see you all later...The book I started last night is interesting...an American kidnapped in Greece...her journal and what the media is saying. Curious format but interesting. It is written by a young Canadian author...short book
HELLO been gone since before 8 we went to see the monkeys at Primemate Santuary was really nice havn't been in a while then stopped at Angies work so Jordyn can get her presents from the boss and daughter of boss Sara
47 comments to read not a really chatty kind of day huh Jordyn had about a 20min nap on way from place and I don't think she wants one now so we will see
A little alarm talk I see I don't hit the snooze and I have a clock that starts out low and gets louder until it is turned off With my one deaf ear I need it I ususally sleep with deaf ear up so its hard to hear any clock
LORI has there been any vulture siting at your roost lately I see our vultures all the time and always think of you we mainly have the turkey one but on occasion a black on I was at the park yesterday and we saw soooo many wood storks that they do love to eat bread they were within inches of our hands taking it out I was surprised they usually fly away I guess they were more hungry this time instead of scared
DID we figure out what that odd looking thing is in the nest just below the cup I tried to get full screen to come up but can't get to cooperate with me to get a better look at it Jordyn has asked to lay on the couch to watch Abby Cadabby so I know she is tired So cute she always ask to do things even when she is tired she ask to go to sleep funny kid
FINALLY got back home at 2. And FINALLY got some lunch. Wow--I was hungry!
JudyE--Shirley's earthquake stuff refers to the one near her a few months ago. Think they are still getting little aftershocks. There was some damage around here, too, but nothing serious. Of course, in DC, the Washington Monument had significant damage, and the National Cathedral had millions in damage, too.
DanaWV.....Bill says there is nothing that will completely remove the stains....and trying can often damage the flooring. Best to just keep those spots covered.
Sandi, you need to check Lori's blog for pics of the black vultures she "raised" this past season!!
UPS delivered a beautiful gift today from our sweet Sharon and Thelma!! It is a handcarved statuette of a lady with her arms crossed over her chest entitled "Healing Grace." It is very inspiring.....and just lovely....and I feel their love and hugs through her. Thanks, again, gals!!!! Love you!
Lynn, it is Willow Tree figure. I love them. Someone gave me the freedom one for my clean day and it is holding a butterfly. I could feel the freedom when I saw it!
SHARON and THELMA, how sweet of you to send the beautiful statuette to LYNN ! Have fun with your precious guests.
LYNN, thanks for the WCV report on the Fauquier Co. eagle. It couldn't be in better place for treatment. Fingers crossed and prayers being said !
Sounds good to hear you're back and hungry ! Oogy-pies a thing of the past I hope.
Off to the kitchen to whip up some Pillsbury/Sugar Free brownies. Seth will spend tonight here rather than Saturday. We'll have spaghetti marinara, garlic bread..... He's bringing a movie with--will report on that tomorrow. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Sharon, I know I've heard of Willow Tree, but I don't think I have ever seen any before. It is SO very smooth and satiny....hard to believe that it's wood! Cool that we now share her work for special reasons!!!
love the fly in and they both start working that was Shep in nest belle is in middle beaking big time his neck line looks odd almost like a v did you see it when he looked up maybe they are starting to look alike she did loose her black spot beaking
Watching the royal pain but thinking they don't like each other. Belle had enough and left. That's how I feel living with males in the house. ;o) God help me! I love them but can't live with them.
I see Shep is still in the nest. What's he waiting for???
Hmm, wonder how Kathryn's day went? There was some kind of money-refund program they were eligible for at work. Her boss decided it wasn't worth the trouble, then changed his mind a couple of days ago.
She was going through six month's worth of records trying to get everything together. Has to be done this year.
The one that Shar and Thelma sent isn't showing there, DanaWV. But, lo---I do have a small one that my BFF sent the last time I was in treatment....about 4" tall, and called the Angel of Healing. It has the metallic wings and she's holding a bird. Didn't realize it was the same artist until I took it off the shelf and looked closely.
UGH: the model guidance for temps next week - get ready for wind chills in the teens starting Monday and SINGLE DIGIT CHILLS Tuesday... per DC weathergal Kim.
Wow I finally brought the computer and myself to the couch and missed the visit! I should be all set to stay here for the duration of the evening. I spent a couple of hours at school and now I am ready to do nothing for the last couple of days! The biggest part of my time was scrubbing desks and rearranging.
I'm not happy about the cold predictions. I m' singing the Heat Miser song. "I never want to know a day That's under sixty degrees I'd rather have it eighty, Ninety, one hundred's a breeze!"
Down loading the video of Jordyn at the primate sanctuary today She got the biggest kick out of the talking parrots Hello and she loved it when the mocked her laughing I don't think she ever paid attention to them before but was so interested in them talking LYNN the angel is beautiful mighty fittin for a beautiful lady herself
DANAMO girl after my own heart not liking the cold I hate it and I don't like using that word we were 72 today and another big cold front next week really really cold one I moved to Fl for the heat not the cold LOL
Ok I guess I should get busy poor Angie has a sleepy kid on her hand she didn't take a nap and the car ride makes her sleepy I hope she makes it till she gets home and not goes to sleep to early She had that quick cat nap in the car before we went to Angies and was fine She always takes a 2 hour plus nap
OH I forgot to say we also saw the eagles in both of the cell phone towers today the one at the park on the way to take Jordyn and on the way this am at the one where I get my truck worked on Jordyn will check out every cell phone tower now and ask Is there one there So cute on the way she said OMA two cell phone tower eagle one at my school and one at park Then I told her about the one at the Ford place and she all of a sudden as loud as she could say THATS THREE OMA THREE amazing 3 1/2 and didn't need to count just new the 2 and the 1 was 3 Smarty pants she is
LYNN is with appetite and that sounds good...incoming weather does not sound too good though.
It is 43 degrees out there !!! I can not believe this is the middle of winter and I felt overdressed today. The snow is going and the super melt is not causing ice formation and I did not use my ice grippers today.Life is very good and I feel a sense of gratitude and wellness and so I count my blessings and know all is indeed well. THANK YOU EVER O VERY MUCH FOR BEING MY FRIENDS. It is part of where the wellness is coming from...I ate a good breakfast so will wait a few hours longer before I do lunch and this way it would be lunch and supper combined...it worked well for me yesterday when I did that...
A WONDERFUL Yoga practice and life is truly full of blessings....PRAISES TO THE LORD, O DEAR GOD PRAISES TO THEE MY LORD...
I do have Red Lobster cert from Christmas but will have to call my son I tried to get ahold of him to day to go to see the monkeys but he didn't call me back 8 in am maybe to early lol
Ok I guess I will go figure out what I want to eat mashed potatos gravy and peas sound good and I won't have to go out I bought a bunch of Heinz gravy the other day was on rollback for 98c and was going up to 1.92 Rollback coming off after the holidays so I stocked up on all 4 flavors I have enought gravy for years I am giving Carl and Angie some also save almost a buck per jar not bad and made since I always stock up on rollback prices knowing they will go up eventually
Hey they said that there is a stamp of the SKYWAY BRIDGE my favorite bridge I love it
BBL need to eat and shower and finish laundry with Jordyn not napping today I did nothing but play in the afternoon Always behind in something Chat at ya later gator
I posted a pic of the 3 dogs and me on the couch. Not sure who asked me to post one, but it's there. Monte gave me a hard time about taking yet another picture of the dogs!

Morning all,
Speaking of resolutions, instead of the eat less, exercise more, here's a few we all might want to consider:
I resolve to mend a quarrel
Seek out a forgotten friend.
Write a letter long overdue.
Share some treasure.
Give a soft answer.
Listen.
Encourage youth.
Keep a promise.
Find the time.
Forgive an enemy.
Apologize if wrong.
Think first of someone else.
Laugh a little.
Laugh a bit more.
Express gratitude.
Take pleasure in the wonders of the earth.
Speak your love.
I LOVE THEM ALL CAROLANNNE
Hi CAROLANNE and thanks for sharing that good list !
OK LM I need to go get some cloths on and get ready to go get Jordyn and stick my nose out the door to see if its really chilly out of just me in the house being cold
Morning CarolAnne!
JudyE & Kay,
I think most of those will be easier than the "eat less - exercise more" resolutions.
Based on Lori's nestcast, we won't get to see the sunrise hitting the nest this AM. Sunny here today and getting into the 50s.
Right you are, CAROLANNE !
Morning Sandi,
Have a good day ladies.
We are in for some nasty weather this a.m. - rain/sleet/snow. Some bad accidents yesterday when we had a band of this weather pass thru. Started about 5 am, must get dog walks in before it gets too bad.
Take care all.
There's the sun on the nest! I LOVE to see that!
Beautiful, CarolAnne..
Thank you !!
Ta Ta For Now - work time is NOW
xoxo ♥
I love the way the sun shines on the lower branch of the nest make it looks colored pinkish orangish PRETTY
Weather man is crazy it is not 60 out off course I don't live in StPete Angies does surrounded by water keeps warmer and we are not 60 out I need to by a out door thermometer I guess to be accurate but sweatshirt weather
SANDI, I agree, the nest bathed in sunshine is a beauteous thing ! I'm giving our eagles 20 minutes to put in another appearance. If not, I'm movin' on for a while.
BBL Gonna go get Jordyn
Good morning. I see I missed one of our eagles early this morning.
Good morning my eagle peeps.
I missed the visit this morning.
Was it yesterday they were in there an extraordinary long time?
Thelma, it was Wed. that Belle came twice and stayed for a very long time. Shep came and went but Belle stayed planted in the nest - that was the very windy day.
Thelma, how are you feeling today after your fall?
Sandi-I'm still hurting but not as bad this morning. The trick for me, it appears, is to only do what is "safe" so I don't hurt it worse again. Thanks for asking.
Lynn, Snagit is a video recording program that I use to record nest videos. Snipit is a picture taking tool to take still off the live feed.
Hi, gang!
T-bird....please pamper that back....but get it checked out if no better soon! How did you fall? You DO remember that Momsters are NOT allowed to fall anymore, right??
CarolAnne---love your resolution list! Be careful in the bad weather.
DanaMo--did you get the copy of your folk's anniversary article I sent you? I STILL don't find it in Herald's online site in order to share with the group.
A cold 27° here, but supposed to warm up later....we shall see! There asre still snowflakes on the deck from last night's squall.
I slept well...no BAD dreams; just two silly ones!
Egg cup looks well defined in the current light.
What is that at 5 o'clock?
Hedgie-I walking down a muddy hill at the cemetery. Yes, no momsters are allowed to fall. : ) I feel old.
5 in the cup or on the outer edge? Looks like there may be some "remains" in the cup, doesn't it? I don't see anything on the outer edge.
Oh, dear....mud can be as slippery as ice---luckily not as hard to land on. Be careful, gal!
Oh dear me, peel me off the ceiling. I posted my "good morning," then I fell asleep in my recliner with the TV on. Oh, my gosh! Loud buzzing! One of those test emergency things. Yikes!
I am a person who does not tolerate a loud alarm clock. I do not need to awake to loudness. Ruins me for the day.
There it goes again. Good grief.
Oh, dear, Shirley---truly a rude awakening! Hope you slept well before and after!
Hoda, wanted to say that your verse was marvelous. Loved it.
Sad report from WCV
Okay, y'all got to slow down. Has everyone forgotten there is a blog speed limit? Well, okay, there really isn't one. I'm just too slow to keep up.
Slept through the morning visit.
Really like the resolutions, CarolAnne. Thanks for the reminder of other possibilities we too often overlook.
Glad you feel some better Thelma. Please be careful.
Shirley, want to hear about my wannabe adult who slept through 5 very loud alarms and missed the final exam? I also do not like loud alarms. Don't like waking up with a racing heart and pulse.
Will be out of here for lunch and then to pick up a few grosseries for the weekend.
Have a good day everyone.
Enjoy your lunch, Judie!
REALLY??? 5 alarms? Excuses, excuses!!! Think that kid must have a hearing problem!
Yes, I am okay, now, Lynn. I think they have been doing those tests more often recently.
Time for more coffee now.
5 alarms?
I do not see how anyone could sleep through that.
I have heard of people having to put alarm clocks on the far side of the the room so that they have to get up to turn it off.
When I was in college, I had a clock radio that clicked loudly when it came on. The click was enough to wake me. And I preferred to wake up and turn it on before it had a chance to click.
I think it would be dangerous to sleep that soundly. Too much can happen.
I once climbed the wall--literally--when the phone rang while I was sleeping. It was when I was a newlywed. My husband was astonished and we always kept the phone on his side of the bed after that.
Of course, I had to overcome that reaction when I did substitute teaching, but one can control how loudly the phone rings, thank goodness.
Geesh, five alarm clocks would have been too expensive for me when I was in college.
Do enjoy your lunch, Judie!
Guess we need to add Fauquier County Eagle at WCV to our prayer list. Dang. If someone shot that eagle.....URGH!
Will be interesting to see what the x-rays show, Lori. With no external injuries, most likely that he ingested lead shot from a carcass. :(
Or a sinker from a fish, maybe.
Good Morning friends! CarolAnne, those are wonderful and meaningful resolutions
Thelma, Thankful you are feeling somewhat better. Mud is the same as ice.
DanaMo - did your family go bowling yesterday? How were the new lanes?
Thompson gals are coming up to visit &
I should go and get my street clothes
BBL
Good Morning!
Went back to bed after our early morinng airport run. Michael will be home by 11am! Not bad.
Diann - it was me that mentioned ahead of the pain to Karla. If you are guilty of waiting until you feel the pain, you of all people should take heed and take those pain medications as prescribed every so many hours. It may do the trick for you that way, You have suffered enough, dear lady! TELL HER LYNN!!
Lynn - Happy to hear you got a good nights sleep last night. It makes such a difference, especially when your body is dealing with so much.
Shirley - I am right with you on the loud noises. It does not take much to startle me and the louder noises put me thought the roof.
Sharon - Glad Chelsea liked your DVD movie choices. I sure can relate to that proud mother's love, especially when your one and only comes home!! Enjoy!
Hoda - Enjoyed the Jerusalem song. Thanks for sharing.
CarolAnne - Loved the resolutions, too. We live in a "me" society that does not stop and take the time to look out for others, it is sad.
Thelma - Glad to hear you are feeling a little better. Hope you are taking something round the clock for your pain, too, even if it is Tylenol or Advil. Stay ahead of that pain.
Now if I would take my own advice, I might be doing a little better. I just can't decide what to take. Aspirin isn't doing the trick. Maybe I will try some Aleve and see if it works better. Moist heat is helping, though.
I'm starving!! I think I will go get some late breakfast and warm up this cold coffee.
Wishing everyone an awesome day today"
Lynn - Thanks for explaining the possibilities of the lead found in the WCV eaglet found. I never would of thought of the sinker in the fish or lead from a carcass.
Why would they want him to be stable enough for anesthesia? Would they want to do exploratory surgery for the lead
They said the prognosis was poor. Prayer is definitely in line,
Good morning! I am with Judie, I think there should be a speed limit on the blog. LOL By the time I get on it takes forever to catch up.
Thelma, so sorry for the fall and the pain in your back. Glad it is better, but you really should get to the doctor.
Lynn, so glad you had a good nights sleep. My dreams are always silly and if I start to have a nightmare, I have a way of waking myself up and stopping it!???? Do not know how I do it, but I do.
Hi, Linda. They can get better x-rays and a more thorough examination when the eagle is anesthetized.
The lead contamination is the most harmful threat to birds of prey since DDT, along with fishing line (entanglement). Sadly, it looks like wwe will never get laws passed to ban lead in ammo and lures.....too much big money opposition.
At least encourage any hunters or fishers you know to use lead-free products.
AND to clean up their broken/discarded fishing lines.
57 right now and sunny. Temp is heading up. Going to be a good day to do yard clean up. There is so much to do. Going to do a little bit each day.
Time for me to get a move on! Jack is doing laundry. I am so spoiled! Got me a good jubby!♥
Have a great day!
Lynn, hope your new meds are working!
So far so good, Lolly!
Dasmn transport is here already. Later! Bye!
Linda, have a great day!
Lynn, I also never thought of a lead sinker from a fish! All that great sleep made you even smarter today! lol
Shirley, I would be in fits to wake up like you did. Noise of all sorts bothers me...the louder the worse it is - high and shrill being the worst!
Going to try to go for a nap now. Hope we get more eagle visits today.
Thanks again for the further explanation, LYNN. That does make sense for better x- rays. Poor eagle :-(
Lolly - we can be a chatty group! It does take time to catch up. I have to come up with a plan to keep up better.
We need to elect a historian to summarize the day's posts every 12 or 24 hours and report the noteworthy things we would not want to miss!
Good luck with that one on more than one account!! What is important to report and who would the lucky speed reader, excellent writer person be with time to spare in their life to do all that?
Thanks, Lori. xoxo
Enjoy your nap. I love my naps ;-)
Good afternoon. I am working! :(
Andrew and Kelsey slept like rocks in my bed. His mother, however, did not sleep well at all on the day bed. I will trade a night's sleep for him being here any day. They have gone to lunch with friends now. I love that kid!
Interesting thing just happened--A man from the county tax assessment office just came to my door wanting to know if we had any earthquake damage. He said that there have been seven households on my street that reported damage. I showed him the tiny cracks in the foundation and he made a note of it. I don't even know that those cracks were caused by the quake.
He said that he had a crack large enough that daylight is shining through. He lives in town.
There are 3 turkey vulture outside my sunroom window. One is on the roof of a neighbor's house, one is sitting in a tree, and the 3rd is on the ground eating something. Since I have never seen an eagle in person but these 3 guys are pretty up-close and personal right now, can one of you "country ladies" give me a frame of reference for how an eagle's size compares to these 3 guys I'm watching?
Good morning/ Good afternoon all...
LINDA did you fall? Is this why you have back pain? AM I confused? I guess I will not be the speed reader who will summarize the posts every 12 to 24 hours!!! LOL
THELMA do be careful and I agree with LYNN get your back checked in case of a hair line fracture or discs out of alignement...
As to MISS BELLE and YOGA POSES from SANDI and the morning crew...I have it on authority that she was doing GARUDASANA...you got it EAGLE POSE. I spend time wrapping one leg over the other and then wrapping my arms around each other and then as I am balancing on one leg I lean forward and bend my knee...It is so funny to describe but it is a GREAT pose...so I think MISS BELLE being an eagle does not have to get twisted in knots, but any pose she does is GARUDASANA...
CAROLANNE I love the picture of you and your Husband. GREAT avatar. Awesome resolution list too.
JACK IS A KEEPER LOLLY...do you even have to ask him or does he do it on his own?
TV: Adults are 24 to 28 inches tall with a wingspan between 63 and 71 inches.
Bald eagle is 27 to 35 inches tall with a 71 to 90-inch wingspan.
They are pretty close in size and a TV has such an ugly face. I used to have 3 that hatched in a barn across from where I lived in Bedford. I loved watching them.
SHARON, enjoy your time with ANDREW and KELSEY...You are at work and they are visiting and you will get together later tyhe afternoon...GRAND simply GRAND...
Good Afternoon Eagle Friends (:
I guess I will start my way from this thread and go backwards.
I thought there would be a new thread.
I would not allow myself to get on the computer until I vacuum cleaned at least the main bath, and living room and swipped up the kitchan and laudry room. That leaves me 2 bedroom and another bath.
I really did take breaks and was tempted to turn on computer. I held out. My arms, hands and fingers are swollen and in pain. Although that is what happens if I vacuum clean one area and rest 20 minutes and do some and rest 20 minutes and finish the one room.
All is good becauce I know God is in control.
Hoda I pray you connect with your friend in Revelstoke. Prayers for those caught in the avalanches.
Prayers for Thelma's back and Linda's pain in upper neck and
back.
I see Sharon is "flying in the clouds" with Andrew and Kelsey
there. Prayers for Andrews shoulder.
Lori so more optical zoom is better than more digital zoom?
CarolAnne thanks for the list of resolutions.
Enjoy your visit with the Thompson gals Mema Jo and hope you are feeling better today. Still keeping
you in prayer.^j^
I have told people about the lead in ammuniation and in
sinkers. They just look at me like, "I don't give a crap".
SAD :(
Lynn I see your carriage arrived. Prayers go with you my
lady.
Neat that our Sweet Margy dropped in to see you last night.
Need to eat some ceral for breakfast well maybe lunch.
Has Wanda been on today? Maybe I missed her.???
Good afternoon!
What is in the nest???
Lynn-I received the article yesterday, thank you so much!
Jo-We did go to the new lanes last night. We had a great time. Son #2, Aric, kicked everyone's butt! The new place is very nice, but rather pricey it seems. Then again, I always say everything is expensive for a family of 6.
Wanda was on FB awhile ago, so she is around.
And Judie was here this morning before going out to lunch.
WVDANA...it is all good...Revelstoke avalanche was triggered by one skier and he got out safe and no one else was injured either...RCMP, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, just put out a report this morning.I do not have friends in Revelstoke but pray for every ones savety anyway. My friend, Kevin Titus, lives in Pemberton the other ski avalanche area. He is OK and so are his twin sons...No further news as to casualties from there...It is all good. The RCMP seem to have it all under control from the news this morning...
Good to hear Hoda (:
Sharon, Thanks for the info. on turkey vulture vs. eagle size. They may have ugly faces and eat dead things but I'm still mesmerized by watching them take off and land right outside my window! When we go to Balto. to visit my mom, we use her bed and she sleeps on a daybed in the spare room. I'm sure she gets a lousy night's sleep but am also sure she's happy to do it to have us there!
Hoda, I Googled garudasana. You can make your body do that??? I knew there had to be an eagle- related yoga position!! But the images I saw show women standing on just one leg and, when Belle does it, she stands on 2, plus she makes it look so effortless! Then again, maybe you can do it just as effortlessly!! =D
OK, off to spend my Christmas money today! BBL!
I am off to do yoga and will see you all later...The book I started last night is interesting...an American kidnapped in Greece...her journal and what the media is saying. Curious format but interesting. It is written by a young Canadian author...short book
BBL. ENJOY!!!
@SandiWhen my kitchen rugs are down if I pick them up the title is yellow from them. What will get that off please? I tried Colorox.
I think that can be a very hard kind of stain to remove, DanaWV, but this is what I found:
Removing Discoloration from Throw-Rug Backings
@SandiWhen my kitchen rugs are down if I pick them up the title is yellow from them. What will get that off please? I tried Colorox.
I hear something up there
@Sandi Under my rugs in the kitchen is a yellow square the size of the rugs. I have tried clorox. What will remove that yellow please?
HELLO been gone since before 8 we went to see the monkeys at Primemate Santuary was really nice havn't been in a while then stopped at Angies work so Jordyn can get her presents from the boss and daughter of boss Sara
47 comments to read not a really chatty kind of day huh Jordyn had about a 20min nap on way from place and I don't think she wants one now so we will see
Thanks Shirley I will give that a read. Hugs
A little alarm talk I see I don't hit the snooze and I have a clock that starts out low and gets louder until it is turned off With my one deaf ear I need it I ususally sleep with deaf ear up so its hard to hear any clock
So sad the eagle report of the lead
LORI has there been any vulture siting at your roost lately I see our vultures all the time and always think of you we mainly have the turkey one but on occasion a black on I was at the park yesterday and we saw soooo many wood storks that they do love to eat bread they were within inches of our hands taking it out I was surprised they usually fly away I guess they were more hungry this time instead of scared
DID we figure out what that odd looking thing is in the nest just below the cup I tried to get full screen to come up but can't get to cooperate with me to get a better look at it
Jordyn has asked to lay on the couch to watch Abby Cadabby so I know she is tired So cute she always ask to do things even when she is tired she ask to go to sleep funny kid
Glad you feel better LYNN and THELMA and you must have forgotten the new rule about falling remember we had a bunch within the past year
Our weather is sooooo nice now started out chilly and now 72°
Nest is shaking!!!
SHARON so glad you are enjoying the kids I just heard a noise on the cam
SHIRLEY earthquake damange ???????@@@###$%^&*() @#!$$$%%^^& Keep reading Judy LOL
Can anyone get full screen up mine isn't working??????
Put out some peanuts for the squirrels, but just saw a bird grab one. Cool.
I have the live feed up having no problem.
I really don't think I have anything to worry about from the earthquake.
But it is odd that seven households from my street have reported damage. I know one house on the cul de sac has damage on the front porch.
My full screen is working just fine, Judy.
NO love feed issue I just can't get full screen to go full
Can't tell what that is in the nest, either, though. Tried full screen.
Just took care of my mortgage payment, so I can get credit this year.
Well it is now time for me to vaccum the other rooms.
Hopefully I will get back on here today ha ha
FINALLY got back home at 2. And FINALLY got some lunch. Wow--I was hungry!
JudyE--Shirley's earthquake stuff refers to the one near her a few months ago. Think they are still getting little aftershocks.
There was some damage around here, too, but nothing serious. Of course, in DC, the Washington Monument had significant damage, and the National Cathedral had millions in damage, too.
DanaWV.....Bill says there is nothing that will completely remove the stains....and trying can often damage the flooring. Best to just keep those spots covered.
Sandi, you need to check Lori's blog for pics of the black vultures she "raised" this past season!!
UPS delivered a beautiful gift today from our sweet Sharon and Thelma!! It is a handcarved statuette of a lady with her arms crossed over her chest entitled "Healing Grace." It is very inspiring.....and just lovely....and I feel their love and hugs through her. Thanks, again, gals!!!! Love you!
I know, Shirley.....can't make it out. Looks like it WAS furry, maybe??
Lynn, it is Willow Tree figure. I love them. Someone gave me the freedom one for my clean day and it is holding a butterfly. I could feel the freedom when I saw it!
SHARON and THELMA, how sweet of you to send the beautiful statuette to LYNN ! Have fun with your precious guests.
LYNN, thanks for the WCV report on the Fauquier Co. eagle. It couldn't be in better place for treatment. Fingers crossed and prayers being said !
Sounds good to hear you're back and hungry ! Oogy-pies a thing of the past I hope.
Off to the kitchen to whip up some Pillsbury/Sugar Free brownies. Seth will spend tonight here rather than Saturday. We'll have spaghetti marinara, garlic bread..... He's bringing a movie with--will report on that tomorrow. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I got full screen to work when I opened a new browser but I get a message Engine initialization failure in the address bar above google
that message is in the spot where Norton is in on the other browsers Odd huh
Sharon, I know I've heard of Willow Tree, but I don't think I have ever seen any before. It is SO very smooth and satiny....hard to believe that it's wood! Cool that we now share her work for special reasons!!!
Kay, dinner sounds yummy!
who knows its working now after I closed and opened a new one Jordyn still hasn't had a nap back to her and play
This may also put the size of a eagle in perspective this is my favorite avatar ever
Ok I need to go start picking up Jordyn stuff this way she doesn't for get anything she boughts DVD ect almost time to go again
working on rail at10
EAGLE!!!!!!!
sitting and working on crib rails
Ahh, I see an eagle!
tugging on sticks in the same spot at 10 I think its bell and there is shep
BOTH!!!!!
love the fly in and they both start working that was Shep in nest belle is in middle beaking big time his neck line looks odd almost like a v did you see it when he looked up maybe they are starting to look alike she did loose her black spot beaking
BELLE MESSING WITH THE THING! LOTS OF BICKER-BEAKING.
I was across the room was that a fight or what too far away to see or lots of beaking
BELLE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE PATIENT WITH SHEP AT ALL TODAY.....
Just got back from the vets. Had to get food and medicines for George. Unfortunately, I had to look for Hunter and ended up leaving my purse at home.
Fortunately, they let me have the stuff and call in the credit card number when I got home.
AND SHE TAKES OFF.
I love the way the sun shines on them
Its almost itme for me to leave that Shep right
I don't think she will be back just like you said no patience for the young one LOL
Hi everyone.
Watching the royal pain but thinking they don't like each other. Belle had enough and left.
That's how I feel living with males in the house. ;o)
God help me! I love them but can't live with them.
I see Shep is still in the nest. What's he waiting for???
Back to Max & company.
love yas.
he looks like he is aglow
AND NOW SHEP JUST SITS THERE.....AND SITS....AND SITS....
I am back and in time to see Shep in the nest.
Finish vaccum cleaning and dusting and washing my hair and me.
See comment where Belle was there.
Lynn you don't have any Willow Tree Angels? I was given one from a friend that I did the pool excerises with when Ed past.
My next door neighbor has a bunch of them.
I see Sharon and Thelma sent you one "Healing Grace" Angel. They are so beautiful.
Sharon has the "Freedom" Angel. They are so neat (:
SILLY BOY CERTAINLY DOESN'T THINK THAT BELLE IS GOING TO SERVE HIM DINNER, DOES HE????
Wind is picking up at the nest.
Need to get some laundry in the wash....can't watch this lazy boy forever!
Hmm, wonder how Kathryn's day went? There was some kind of money-refund program they were eligible for at work. Her boss decided it wasn't worth the trouble, then changed his mind a couple of days ago.
She was going through six month's worth of records trying to get everything together. Has to be done this year.
I told her that she deserves an extra bonus.
Shep still perched at the 5, just looking around casually to the right.
You can really see his spot good when he is this close in this light.
Sharon I found a picture of your Freedom Angel. She is beautiful.
Lynn I found a picture of yours too also very very beautiful.
Mine is the "Rememberance Angel"...she said she knew I would never forget all the memories Ed and I had together. I love it.
Yes Paula it does not look like his spot is lighting up any to me at all.
That must be a glump of something...I would think one of them would have chowed on it if it were prey
He has a full crop...anyone else notice that?
Mine is the 2nd one down page holding in her hand willow or pine branches
2nd one down page is mine
Well when that link comes up it is first one there lol but that is her
Oh Pretty, Dana. I see Sharon's in there too. I have seen those before.
Wow still in the nest took Jordyn to Angies work and came back Odd still in same spot toooo
If Jordyn was here she would say MOVE PLEASE LOL
see the front of his neck almost look parted like messy feathers I guess
HE'S STILL THERE!!!
Shirley....you had to hunt for Hunter??? Where was he? Out playing or hiding in the house??
BTW----how did he like the basketball hoop???!!!!
Head bobbin and off he goes to the right.
I laughed out loud when I read the commnet thinking Belle was going to bring him dinner LYNN
AND OFF HE GOES! GOT TIRED OF WAITING FOR....???
Shirley, Kat should get a BIG bonus!
She mentions a traffic problem on FB....hope it's going th eother way for her.
Yes I was wondering Shirley. Why did you have to hunt for Hunter?
The one that Shar and Thelma sent isn't showing there, DanaWV.
But, lo---I do have a small one that my BFF sent the last time I was in treatment....about 4" tall, and called the Angel of Healing. It has the metallic wings and she's holding a bird.
Didn't realize it was the same artist until I took it off the shelf and looked closely.
UGH: the model guidance for temps next week - get ready for wind chills in the teens starting Monday and SINGLE DIGIT CHILLS Tuesday... per DC weathergal Kim.
Missed Diann! Hope you are having fun with Max! Send those other guys out to work!!!
Wow I finally brought the computer and myself to the couch and missed the visit! I should be all set to stay here for the duration of the evening.
I spent a couple of hours at school and now I am ready to do nothing for the last couple of days! The biggest part of my time was scrubbing desks and rearranging.
Does the one that Sharon and Thelma sent have the angel wings?
Here's the one S & T sent:
Healing Grace
She's about 8-9" tall.
DanaMo---you are truly dedicated!!!
Now relax!
She is beautiful Lynn..Sharon and Thelma picked out the right one.
The other lady did too Angel of Healing, it is also very pretty.
I love how they are different but have such a meaning to them.
I'm not happy about the cold predictions. I m' singing the Heat Miser song.
"I never want to know a day
That's under sixty degrees
I'd rather have it eighty,
Ninety, one hundred's a breeze!"
We are approaching 1000 posts.....thought for sure Steve would give us a new thread today. :(
Hope Jo and Wanda aren't lost!! Loretta, too! Wonder what those gals are up to today?
I'm with you, DanaMo. I want SUMMER!!
Oh, yes, she IS beautiful!!!!
Down loading the video of Jordyn at the primate sanctuary today She got the biggest kick out of the talking parrots Hello and she loved it when the mocked her laughing I don't think she ever paid attention to them before but was so interested in them talking
LYNN the angel is beautiful mighty fittin for a beautiful lady herself
DANAMO girl after my own heart not liking the cold I hate it and I don't like using that word we were 72 today and another big cold front next week really really cold one I moved to Fl for the heat not the cold LOL
I am soooooo hungry and I don't know what I want I dislike that so much I wish someone would tell us what we had to eat
Ok I guess I should get busy poor Angie has a sleepy kid on her hand she didn't take a nap and the car ride makes her sleepy I hope she makes it till she gets home and not goes to sleep to early She had that quick cat nap in the car before we went to Angies and was fine She always takes a 2 hour plus nap
OH I forgot to say we also saw the eagles in both of the cell phone towers today the one at the park on the way to take Jordyn and on the way this am at the one where I get my truck worked on Jordyn will check out every cell phone tower now and ask Is there one there So cute on the way she said OMA two cell phone tower eagle one at my school and one at park Then I told her about the one at the Ford place and she all of a sudden as loud as she could say THATS THREE OMA THREE amazing 3 1/2 and didn't need to count just new the 2 and the 1 was 3 Smarty pants she is
FOOD, JudyE!!!! A juicy steak and a baked potato and a veggie of choice! That would be my advice! Or lobster tail!
I ate lunch so late that I may not want dinner for awhile yet!
Thanks for the eagle report.
LYNN is with appetite and that sounds good...incoming weather does not sound too good though.
It is 43 degrees out there !!! I can not believe this is the middle of winter and I felt overdressed today. The snow is going and the super melt is not causing ice formation and I did not use my ice grippers today.Life is very good and I feel a sense of gratitude and wellness and so I count my blessings and know all is indeed well. THANK YOU EVER O VERY MUCH FOR BEING MY FRIENDS. It is part of where the wellness is coming from...I ate a good breakfast so will wait a few hours longer before I do lunch and this way it would be lunch and supper combined...it worked well for me yesterday when I did that...
A WONDERFUL Yoga practice and life is truly full of blessings....PRAISES TO THE LORD, O DEAR GOD PRAISES TO THEE MY LORD...
I do have Red Lobster cert from Christmas but will have to call my son I tried to get ahold of him to day to go to see the monkeys but he didn't call me back 8 in am maybe to early lol
