Judie, Thanks for the call over. So glad that my students got to see the eagles today! They kept saying, "Is this live? Are they real?"

Judie said...

Thank you Steve for the fresh windy thread.

Lynn, hope the afternoon goes well and you get some yummy lunch. Just curious -- does the oncologist get some sort of pictures or other type of information on the effects of the radiation? How does that work?

Get the live cam off and on -- don't know what the problem is.

magpie said...

Thanks Steve....


don't Blow Away....


the Sycamore Palace is looking really good these days....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hello again everybody!

Mema Jo said...

Judie and Paula - you two are very alert! Thanks for the call over

Steve, thanks for the fresh thread.
Don't blow away out there today -
our Sycamore is swaying!

T-Bird said...

Good afternoon again everyone. Thanks for the new thread Steve.

Mema Jo said...

Hi Momsters! Stay warm...
I didn't get my lunch yet!!!!

BBILW

Lolly said...

Had to leave suddenly, got the call that the car was ready.
They replaced the radio and CD player, but did not find our
CD that Jack is missing. It was just malfunctioning. Glad it was still under warranty.

Mema Jo said...

Still cam is running now.

Judie said...

Got lucky again today. Took a quick break and saw the Jordan babes getting some lunch.

Jo, get thee to lunch!

JudyEddy said...

HOme for lunch and PO'd they are starting the shit at work again

Costume Lady said...

Well, LOLLY, where is the CD, if they didn't find it in the player? That is very peculiar:)
I had my car for about a week and couldn't figure out how to get the CD player to work...went back to dealership and they couldn't figure it out, so they installed a brand new one (my car was a used 2 year old)...turns out the radio and CD player is a BOISE. Beautiful sound. In the Spring and Summer months, I open my sun/moon roof and turn the IL DIVO CD on and I feel like a young girl again...get back home in such a good mood:)

Costume Lady said...

SORRY JUDY...put your hi-top boots on and take a deep breath!

Lolly said...

Jack has searched for the CD. It is opera, one of his favorites. One one these days it will show up in a peculiar spot. Can two
CDs fit into one case? Hmmmmm???

We have Serius radio and therefore do not play CDs very often. Take them with us on trips. Did I tell you Laurel gave me the Scotty CD for Christmas. ☺ She understands!

Lolly said...

I need to know where beside the bearcenter do you access the Jewel cam? Also, are any of you reading any chats for that cam?

Need to go get beautiful. Becky cut my hair differently this last time. I like it, but it needs more attention in the mornings. LOL Went to the car dealer looking like something the cat drug in, oh well, they do not know me. LOL

paula eagleholic said...

Check out the stocked pantry at Jordan Lake

Sandi said...

Paula, Wow! Those fish are huge! How much weight can an adult eagle carry? Hard to believe that even an eagle could scoop a fish that size out of the water and then carry/lift it 90 feet in the air to bring it to a nest! Amazing!

JudyEddy said...

trying to get hold of people that were involved in the 94 are no longer there The lawyer I had is not listed Will have to do tomorrow I guess lunch is over and on luck on the phone I guess I will have to get a rehab layer to handle it Will call the Dr I had also tomorrow wanted me to leave message doesn't anyone answer the phones now days I am so frustrated again I HATE WALMART at this second

Sandi said...

Judy, so sorry that this crap is starting again for you! =(
Red, were you on the OC forum trying to stir up trouble? Shame on you! You'll have better luck talking with Shep!

paula eagleholic said...

Sandi, an eagle can lift 3-4 lbs.

paula eagleholic said...

Feeding at JL...the eaglets are adorable!

Lolly said...

LOL Red! Shame on you! Ben is a silly name but let them have it. Spot is a ridiculous name for an eagle. I think there may be some very nice but not too informed eagle watchers over there. Ignore them. JUst read their posts and laugh!

Lolly said...

I want to see fish like that in our nest soon, very soon!☺

wvgal_dana said...

yes this is a link

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Okay, so if those folks don't want to use the name Shep, then they are not allowed to use the name Belle. That is our name for her! LOL!!!!! They need to find their own name!

Lolly said...

Good one, Sharon!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

CarolAnne - you rock!!!!

CarolAnne said...

Sharon - just expressing how I feel about this wonderful group. And letting them know what they're missing in regard to real friends.

CarolAnne said...

RE: da bear - they've posted: Anticipation, anticipation, is making me late, is keeping me waiting . . ..

It applies here too.
Eaglets & bear cubs - how will I get anything done around here once the babies arrive?

:o) That will be such a good problem to have

Linda said...

Oh no, Jewel.....turn around!

She is certainly rolling around.....

Linda said...

Good Afternoon Dear Friends...

Trying to get work done, but Jewel is very busy right now...

Hoda said...

I am off to my autobiography writing group and I finished writing a story about my niece's wedding.
After Autobiography I will head to yoga so I will not be back on before the evening.
I hope LYNN's day is going really well and Prayers for all.

oldguyrich said...

If you would have been watching, you would know why the male was called Spot. In the beginning of this ordeal, no one knew what became of Lib. The only method of IDing THIS bird was physical markings. Logical name, and it stuck. get over it

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Hello Rich, how are you?

oldguyrich said...

Good. How are you? Eagles around here are gathering to nest, no eggs yet, but they are paired and defending territory. Won't be long

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I wish I had eagles near me to watch. Grateful to have the ones online though!

wvgal_dana said...

Hello Rich

Where is "around here"?

paula eagleholic said...

Afternoon, Rich. We watch all the time :) Since 2006, and in person when we can :)

CarolAnne said...

stronghunter said...

Hello Rich,

Don't believe we have met, though I see you first posted in August. I am Shirley.

Welcome back.

Costume Lady said...

WHAAAAT? ARE WE BEING STALKED?? LOL!!

stronghunter said...

Good afternoon, Wanda.

oldguyrich said...

I live on a lake by the missouri river in Iowa. We have as many as 50 eagles of all ages in the fall, pre-nesting. Right now they have spread out, but we still have several non-mating age guys. They roast in our tree while watching the geese below. fun. I subscribe to Paula site, and completely enjoy it. very informative. I read the Shepherdstown site here everyday.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I have been watching this nest since 2006 and Liberty was the very first eagle I saw live and in person!

oldguyrich said...

oops, that should have said "roost".. not roast in our tree...

CarolAnne said...

Iowa - that must be the site I can't see clearly on the revolver map.

Costume Lady said...

I'm feeling so badly for JUDYE. She is probably an asset to her work place and those who are giving her a hard time, probably don't even know her and how much she adds to the success of her store...good employees are HARD to find...expecially in WAL MART. wE HAVE SOME REAL DOOZIES HERE!!

CarolAnne said...

I just clicked on the sitemeter at the top (never did that before) - sure gives lots of information about blogger location, countries ,etc. Interesting

DanaMo said...

Hi Rich,
We are all aware of what happened last spring. This nest is watched 24/7. There isn't much that has been missed. We called the eagle who replaced Lib "truder" but has since been named Shep. Shep is the name he goes by on this blog.

CarolAnne said...

Agree C/L - hope JudyE finds someone to stand up for her & her situation.

stronghunter said...

Me too, Wanda. If I understand correctly, the problem is that she isn't physically strong enough to lift 50 pounds, but I might have missed something.

I know I would not be able to lift 50 pounds.

Costume Lady said...

I'm wondering if the folks on OC know why we have named our new male "SHEP"...short for our sweet little College/Very old town of SHEPHERDSTOWN? Very apropos:)

wvgal_dana said...

Rich you live on a lake (nice)Missouri river in Iowa. Rich do you watch the webcam for the Decorah Eagles in Iowa?

CarolAnne said...

RICH , if you want some more addictive watching while we all wait on eagle eggs & eaglets try out the wild bear cam - bear is believed to be pregnant and in early labor:

Jewel

Costume Lady said...

For those of you who haven't met JudyE...she is very friendly and the type of person that I would like to encounter at a store, if I had a problem and needed to speak to someone about it~
I don't remember what her job entails, but 50lbs is a lot for a female to have to lift...think about TWO 25lb bags of bird seed, being lifted at one time...whoa!

DanaMo said...

I can barely lift a large bag of dog food! I usually send one of the kids to the store to get it, or I send Monte and I think the largest bag at the grossery story is 35lbs.

DanaMo said...

*store*

hedgie said...

Okay....I have only gotten as far as the post about Red posting on OC---had to go look.....
Haven't gotten to his yet, but SO glad to NOW know that Ben Franklin was our president....unbelievable that I have been so dumb.....GEESH!!!

stronghunter said...

I am sure there are plenty of males who would have trouble lifting 50 pounds.

hedgie said...

Okay, Red and CarolAnne both were polite. And they just dissed Red....argh!

Now to finish catching up!

paula eagleholic said...

I can lift 50lbs...but wouldn't want to do that everyday!

Back to work...

wvgal_dana said...

The bags of salt for water softner is 40 lbs. I have to have help with those. I have trouble lifting 10 lbs. I do it but pay for it later.

stronghunter said...

I carried two 40-pound bags of potting soil to my porch, but that was my max. Had to stagger a bit to do that. Would not be able to do it for a living.

CarolAnne said...

When I could no longer do office work, I worked a night shift at a local Kmart. Crew entailed 4 to 6 women. We lugged and carried and helped each other with all diferent sizes & weights of merchandise. By morning we were hot & dirty. I cannot imagine any day shift being required to do that kind of work around customers.

stronghunter said...

Hope your trip to the doctor went well, Lynn, and that you had a good lunch out today.

paula eagleholic said...

Rich, you sound very lucky to see an abundance of eagles from time to time.

CarolAnne said...

Welcome home Lynn, hope all went well.

A little OC friction to get the blood pumping. lol

Mema Jo said...

Rich I see your postings over on the OC forum - thanks for joining in here.

I realize that after Red gave Shep instructions on HP, he was encouraged by some to go over to OC and "set them straight". Bad move in my humble opinion. OC forum is happy where they are and in what they think. OK so we have different thoughts - There are 2
beautiful eagles for the Shep'twn nest. Their names very well could
be Muff & Tuff. What I am saying is - Enjoy our eagles but let others in their own way enjoy them just as much. Truthfully - our blog is sounding very child like with the comments being made. How about we stick to our own blog and not worry about any others that differ from us. You have all been taught the rule to "Don't say something if you can't say something nice. Peace - Jo ♥

stronghunter said...

Yes, Paula, I agree. The only place I have seen that many eagles was at Conowingo.

Mema Jo said...

Tori Update: CT scan shortly to make sure she isn't bleeding anywhere but her new set of numbers were good
Keep those prayers going!

stronghunter said...

Good news about Tori, Jo.

CarolAnne said...

Actually, I did only say nice things over thereabout the people here, what they do for each other, and how they go above & beyond just "watching" online.

Guess a "time out/step back" might be required.

hedgie said...

My day did not go too well. Firsdt, they tried to break the radiation machine and left me stuck with my arms over my head for too long....now my bursitis in my shoulder is acting up.
Went to Pizza Hut and got a little pizza....paying the price now with hiatal hernia acting up. Got to the credit union only to find that the lobby closes at noon on Weds. ARGH!! Got stuck in traffic from an accident at the high school. And then regualr bank wouldn't take my coins through the drive thru', so had to park and go in!
So there.....that was my afternoon.

Liesl's new crate just came!!! Wish me luck on assembling!

Jo, I don't care what they call the birds. I just object to the mis-information they spread that so much of the camera viewing public probably sees first.

wvgal_dana said...

C/A get your buns back in here girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!♥

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

CarolAnne, I am sorry but you are not allowed to have a time out!

Lolly said...

Saw this on fb



Carolina Raptor Center

Savannah Eagle has an egg. Follow her story at www.facebook.com/SavannahEagle.


Yea, for Savannah!

wvgal_dana said...

Lord God I am praying now as they do the CT Scan on Tori. That they DO NOT FIND ANY BLEEDING. I ask you Lord to prepare the way for good results. In Thy Name I Ask This Amen

stronghunter said...

Oh my goodness, Lynn, what a day you have had. I do hope the assembly of the doggy crate goes better for you.

I have not done much today, but will be going out to play bridge tonight.

wvgal_dana said...

this is a link CHECK YOUR RE-LIGHTING OF YOUR CANDLE

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

My friend Nila is going to the ER. She has a lot of pain and called me crying. Please pray for her!

Red said...

Got a call from my orthopedic docs office today. My hip surgery is scheduled for Feb 15th.

I didn't mean to stir up trouble on OC. I apologize if I offended anyone there. Shame on me. sniffle sniffle.

Lolly said...

Lovely...I have lost my connection to the Jewel cam and can not get it back up.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

There is our troublemaker! Yay on the surgery date Red.

hedgie said...

So I see that Jewel is at rest again. Did see her doing saw paw chewing for a minute or so......saw that they feel sure that she will probably have two cubs---which they say is normal for first-time moms.

Mema Jo said...

Wow Red - You won't miss Valentines Day
You are still our sweetheart ♥

hedgie said...

Great, Red.....not TOO far off. I'll mark my calendar!

Judie...they will do a PET scan one month after treatment ends (Jan. 31). Onc said today that chemo will also end that day!

hedgie said...

Great Tori news.
Hope Nila will be okay....what kind of pain?

Sandi said...

Home from a long day of state testing and THEN a faculty meeting! Lynn, after the day you've had, you may not be in the right frame of mind to assemble Liesl's new crate. I'm getting that visual again of you with a sledge hammer, like when you were having trouble with the sewing machine!? =)
Judy, I've never even met you and can tell that you must be great at helping/talking with customers - why would management want to mess with an employee who is such an asset in terms of customer service?
Hope Belle and Shep didn't get their nest quota in early in the day and decide to stay away this evening.
OK, I've gotta make dog food so I'll take the laptop into the kitchen while I work; I'll be here but in LM.

Mema Jo said...

Hubby is home - time for dinner
He was in Selbyville today, Sandi at the house.
Checking out the plumber's work ..

Red said...

Thanks, MamaJo.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Nila has end-stage colorectal cancer. :*( I hate to even say that on here. ((((HUGS))))

Lolly said...

Oh, good, have the Jewel cam back. They must have been having a problem.

Did go see what you said on OC, very well said. Yes, we just need to avoid comments over there. To each his own!

Lolly said...

Red, many prayers will be said for your surgery. So, glad it is scheduled!

Lolly said...

That last statement was for CarolAnne, I had read your comments earlier, Red. Just our opinions.

stronghunter said...

Good points, Mema Jo. Thanks for posting.

Red said...

Guess Ben is a fine name, being named for our ??th president Rich. I don't really know what I said to cause the rucus there. Someone is too touchy.

hedgie said...

Yikes...razor blade fell out of my box cutter/scraper--Liesl grabbed it. Thank the Lord she dropped it and I don't see any blood. Geesh!

Well, I at least got the crate out of the box.....now to read the instructions! Looks nice.

wvgal_dana said...

WHAT?????????????SHARON????????I READ WHAT YOU POSTED ABOUT NILA YOU DO MEAN OUR NILLA/JANET OR NOT?????????

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, let the OC be...not worth it.

Was Ben Franklin one of our Presidents? Well, daggone, wikipedia is down in protest, but I say NO.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Nila not Nilla.

Judie said...

Headed to the kitchen in a few.

Lynn, thanks for the info on how they know what's going on internally. Also, after the stinky day you had, IF you get the new crate assembled, could you fit in there and hide away for awhile with Liesl?

Good news for Red on getting his surgery date. Will mark my calendar.

Thank you Jo for the Tori update. Still sending healing thoughts and prayers.

Shirley, enjoy your bridge group tonight.

Congrats to Savannah.


BBL

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Ben was President of the Executive Council of Pennsylvania. He served as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention and signed the Constitution. One of his last public acts was writing an anti-slavery treatise in 1789.

wvgal_dana said...

Benjamin Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers and a genius. He helped create the American system of government. However, he never served as president.

HE WANTED THE TURKEY FO THE NATION SYMBOL INSTEAD OF THE BALD EAGLE.

wvgal_dana said...

Sharon who is Nila?

paula eagleholic said...

Hurray for Savannah and Derek!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Nila is a dear friend of mine here in Bluefield.

Judie said...

Ooops,Sharon. Sending a prayer for Nila.

Judie said...

Okay, I'm getting really confused.

Ben Franklin? President? Now, if you're talking about Ben Phranclyn, well that's okay.

hedgie said...

Oh, Shar.....that is a real shame about Nila. Sorry to hear such sad news. Prayers for her and the family. Wonder why she didn't share that news...:(

hedgie said...

Sandi....not sure about sledge hammer time....but instructions are confusing, so it may well be. I may have to call SIL!

hedgie said...

Right now I'm not going to mess with it....bending over is not good with heartburn...and I can't kneel, so.......

hedgie said...

60 second aftershock in the earlier quake area near Shirley! Did you feel anyhting, kiddo?

Lolly said...

Oh, dear, have not walked. Going to do that now.

Where are our eagles?

Hear eagle, eagle, eagle!!!!!

paula eagleholic said...

Is there an eagle in the nest?

hedgie said...

From Ceil:

New eagle nest closes refuge trail

paula eagleholic said...

I think so!

Lolly said...

Yes, I called them LOL

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Nila has been fighting cancer for about 3 years. Started as rectal cancer, went to her liver and lungs. They did an ablation on the spot on her liver. She went through several different chemotherapies and they stopped all of it about a month ago. Now the pain in her stomach has gotten really bad. She keeps saying she wants to live long enough to see Andrew get married but I am afraid . . .

paula eagleholic said...

It was weird, I had the cam up twice, one had an eagle, the other didn't!

I haven't gotten any weird error messages today about our cam

That is Ms Belle

PA Nana said...

Hello!!!

Finally see an eagle. Isn't she beautiful? Or is that Shep?

stronghunter said...

Prayers for your friend Nila, Sharon.

paula eagleholic said...

Sorry to hear about your friend, Sharon.

paula eagleholic said...

Belle was digging around the nestover area, then took off from the 4-5 spot

stronghunter said...

Did not feel the earthquake, but see that there have been three recently in this area. All in the 2-point something range, though.

PA Nana said...

Geez, I scared her off. Sorry.
;-(

wvgal_dana said...

@SharonI didn't know Sharon I don't see on the prayer list where you have ever ask prayer for her. Maybe I missed it...if so I am sorry. She is now on the prayer list and Lord Sharon I am praying for you as her friend. God Bless this lady Nila and God Bless You Sharon for being there for her.

paula eagleholic said...

You did not, Diann. I think she's up in the tree :)

PA Nana said...

So sorry to hear about Nila. She'll be added to my prayers. Thanks for the info Sharon.

Will never be able to catch up but will read back some more.

Red said...

Wow, seems I stirred up a hornets nest at OC. Lots of sensitive people there. Guess I better leave them alone. I'm to old to start fighting again.

hedgie said...

Sandi, I think you asked earlier....an adult eagle can handle carrying about 4 lbs.

Sandi said...

Sharon, so sorry to hear about your friend.
Jo, how long a drive is it from Sebbyville (as the locals say it) to Middletown, MD (not sure where Middletown is)??
Lynn, Glad you're not trying to assemble the crate right now. You need a positive frame of mind and I'm not getting a vibe that you have that after your day!
Thought I heard a clunk on the nest cam a few minutes ago and figured we might see Shep or a re-appearance of Miss Belle, but it's not looking that way. So, dog food is made, now to throw something together for the people in the house. TTFN!

paula eagleholic said...

LOLLY, you can get the bear cam at ustream and the bear.org site.

hedgie said...

Sharon, so sorry about your friend. I was thinking you were talking about our Nilla....but different spelling should have been a clue to this slow brain. Well, please let her know that she is on the Momster prayer list.

oldguyrich said...

Hedgie- to relate 4lbs to life, I have photos of 2 eagles trying in vain to pick up a small kitten...for about 1/2 hour- to heavy, despite their persistence.. they gave up and let it lay...

hedgie said...

Per FB post---many problems with bear cam on all feeds today. They are hoping it's fixed now.

hedgie said...

Jordan Lake says they are also back online but keep trying if you have trouble.....

paula eagleholic said...

Rich, those must have been those small male eagles. Bet a 12lb female eagle would have no problem :)

stronghunter said...

Oh, the poor kitten.

Lolly said...

Oh, I do not like to think of eagles getting a kitten. Let's erase that memory. How fantastic, though, Rich that you see so many eagles. I am very very jeaous!

wvgal_dana said...

PAULA you have mail

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley, I am thinking the kitten was already dead.

DanaMo said...

Testing then a faculty meeting. Man, they sure know how to do the teachers in don't they Sandi! Staff meetings are such a waste of time, nothing that needs to be discussed that can't be put into an email as far as I'm concerned. Glad you made it through, have a nice glass of your favorite adult beverage and relax ☺

stronghunter said...

Yeah . . . maybe so.

oldguyrich said...

check these photos...it isnt a young one..not 12lbs., but 3 1\2-4 1/2 years old

paula eagleholic said...

Backatcha MS WV :)

Heading home

hedgie said...

Jo....I just saw the baby Ava story on FB---why did you removed your post on here? Has something happened?

wvgal_dana said...

Sandi you are ready for a rest after testing and faculty meeting.
Prop your feet up!

Lolly said...

Thanks, Paula for the ustream info.

paula eagleholic said...

Watch out, one of those pics is little graphic for some folks!

Those looked like pretty good size eagles....was it a kitten or a cat? Looked pretty good size.

And yes, the cat was dead. It's the cycle of life.

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn Jo removed her post blue link for Ava. It was an article and the link did not work. So Jo removed it.

Lolly said...

Lynn, Jo removed her blue link because it did not work.

wvgal_dana said...

Lynn tell us about AVA?

paula eagleholic said...

And btw Rich, nice shots

Lolly said...

I suspected and did not go to the pictures.

Sandi said...

2011 was the first year that I watched the Decorah nest - I could not believe some of the food those parents flew into that nest! My students were so wowed by that, as was I.
Rich, welcome to the blog - I am pretty new here myself. I'm envious that you live where you can see eagles frequently, though I'm not sure I would want to live in Iowa any more than I'd want to live in Wisconsin! (wink, wink CarolAnne!!) Then again, I live in Sussex County, DE which is nothing to write home about either!
Carol Anne, how is your one dog doing with the new food, now that you've slowed him down with eating it?

wvgal_dana said...

Don't need to see those pictures. I know enough and have seen enough about what Bald Eagles can do and pick up.

CarolAnne said...

Like Sandi - the critters are fed and on to the people food (its in the oven awaiting Bubby).SANDI, Thanks for asking - slowing down the eating process has made the difference. Dogs are so darn healthy now that today they caught a squirrel that was trying to cross the deck.

CarolAnne said...

Hey, don't knock our Wisconsin weather (I'm one of those sensitive types - LOL.) Single digit temps today, windchill below zero, tomorrows high 5° and then snow for the next day. Sure makes us appreciate spring!

Janet said...

Good evening.

*JUDYE...yes I have used EmergenC. But when i get your standard run of the mill yucky virus, a day of sleep, lots of fluids usually kicks it. but if it is a cold, i use emergenC, ziacam and l-lysine. that concoction (adding reiki of course) usually kicks it pretty fast.

SHARON* so sorry to hear of your friend. will send comforting light and energy.

its been a much better day here. cold though. 38 for a high. sun was out, that was a plus.

i canceled my client early today and still took it easy. i am ready to head back to work tomorrow! can't stand to sit still too long if i am feeling well.

JUDYE: don't give up on fighting your fight. don't let them push you out, make them pay you. you have been a loyal, hardworking employee for too darned long!!!!

well about time to start dinner....getting hungry. funny. happens about this time every day, lol.

hopefully we will have eggs and cubs soon......love the chatter on here even if i miss seeing the eagles most of the time! the videos are great.

later, ya'll. *smiles*

Sandi said...

CarolAnne, when does spring arrive in Wisconsin - August?? ;)
Janet, I was sorry to hear that you won't be able to raise/keep chickens as you had hoped.
Where's that Judy - she should be reporting in soon! We're all rooting for you, Judy!!

CarolAnne said...

SANDI - pretty good guess re:spring
Life in Wisconsin:
•you have gotten frostbitten and sunburned all in the same week.
•you have more miles on your snowblower than your car.
•you owe more money on your snowmobile than on your car.
•your 4th of July Family Picnic was moved indoors due to frost.
•snow tires come standard on all your cars.

hedgie said...

DanaWV, Baby Ava is a baby severely injured in a car wreck in Ocean City a couple of months ago. She remains in Hopkins in critical condition.

CarolAnne said...

SANDI - there's more:

you decided to have a picnic this summer because it fell on a weekend

you define Summer as three months of bad sledding

you’ve taken your kids trickortreating in a blizzard

you define swimming season as Labor Day weekend

the trunk of you car doubles as a deep freezer

driving is better in the winter because the potholes fill in with snow

you have experienced snow storms in April.

you have had school closed due to wind chills and frostbite warnings

JudyEddy said...

Their position is that each job has a job description and weight limit and I am not doing my job so that is why I am loosing the job But I hope Leanne my old asst mgr can use me at the other store I just emailed Lori and asked her and told her
They told me I was breaking the law by working in the position that I was unable to do like lifting 50lbs stocking etc THE LAW maybe a store POLICY but I don't think the law I guess I will just look in the yellow pages for a lawyer don't know who to ask if they know any can't ask at work thats for sure ok I am singing off

magpie said...

It's not right, JudyE.
Find yourself a crackerjack lawyer !
You have our prayers and

magpie said...

Maybe one will take this as a Hardship case, Judy...and give you a break on the fees.....

JudyEddy said...

WVDANA you have mail also

magpie said...

If/when I buy 40 or 50 lbs of something like potting soil or dirt, I leave the bag in the back of the Blazer, tear it open, and move it in smaller amounts.
Sissy-style, but I am on lifting restrictions also

wvgal_dana said...

Just a quick hello ! If you see Columbus,OH on WANDA's "As the World Turns", it may be me--not lurking, but trying to catch up with the last 24 hours here. Only a skim and am sure I missed much--my comments are not needed, but did so enjoy the chat and the wonderful time you've had with Belle and Shep !

Did catch the message about Tori's MRI---hoping and praying for good news about that. Adding SHARON's dear friend to the prayer list. That's a tough cancer to fight, but will hope for the best and "God's will be done".

LYNN, did anyone give you the link to the NX article from the Post ? If not, I'll look for it and e-mail.

Had a great day with the 'boys'. Cold, but so sunny Malcolm and I could not stand to stay inside for long. Now I'm pleasantly exhausted.

Have a great evening, one and all !

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

CarolAnne said...

WVDANA - much yelling, arm flapping, and stomping, but they did finally let it go. Squirrel didn't make any noise to indicate they were hurting it, and it was able to make a quick dash to the tree once released, so I guess all is well that ends well.

DanaMo said...

Judy I just answered your email. Please check your mail.
I hope your neck feels better. Know that you are in my prayers! ♥

DanaMo said...

BTW Update on my friend Stephen from church. He has undergone his first round of Chemo. and is doing well. He is still able to go to his classes at JPII center. I have also since found out that his lovely wife is pregnant. I am so worried about them, but feel that God has a plan for this young family. Please pray that his treatments are successful and that he continues to be strong and able to continue with his classes.

magpie said...

We're on it, DanaMo....
Hope the Baby-to-be news is a real boost to Stephen's Healing and Recovery...

ttfn xoxo ♥

Hoda said...

Lynn sorry your day was rough but pleased you got LIESL's bed.

JUDYE keep your head about you as you deal with work issues. Sorry they are happening, very frustrating.

I see BELLE stopped in for a short while this evening, am I right? I did not get when she left...

I am grateful to Mema Jo for her comment and second it whole heartedly.♥

Snowing here. Autobiography class went well and I will head out to yoga in a little while.

Prayers for TORI...

Prayers for Sharon's friend with colon cancer.

PAULA thank you for your comments and your direction...

I think I will just sit with prayers and that is good...

Mema Jo said...

Back from Dinner and I shopped for and
purchased a new coat and a pair of
boots just in case the s*/*^*!

Sandi - 175 miles 2 1/2 to 3 hrs.

BTW - I think we'll be looking for a fine for going through the EZ Pass when we don't have one....... Probably $5.
Bay bridge has sorta repositioned different lanes for the EZ Pass this year. Toll is now $4 and not the $2.50.

wvgal_dana said...

Just thought I would let you all know. I did not think so but decided to ask Steve. So I sent him an email. Asking could the black place on the head of the male eagle be that Avian Pox? A very nice man name Jim that has a PhD and is a Biologist, Career Awareness Branch
Division of Education Outreach. Wrote me back saying, "Avian pox is associated with bare skin areas - eyes, mouth and not
feathered portions. How does the bare legs and bare face of the bird look?" I wrote him back and told him they look fine.

He was very nice and I appreciated his input.

Lynne2 said...

Oh dear.....I've only just skimmed the thread and found

Eagles with kittens
Dogs with squirrels
Lynn with a sledge hammer
JudyE with a royal pain in the neck
Shirley covered in dirt and staggering
Cats dragging Lolly to the car dealer
Red ruffling feathers

and some poor oldguyrich in the mix!

What a day!

Welcome Rich!

Lynne2 said...

Prayers for you friend Nila, Sharon.

Lynne2 said...

wow DanaMo, prayers for Steve (and the family in production!)Very glad the first round of chemo has gone well.

DanaMo said...

Thanks for the link and reminder to re-light my candle.

hedgie said...

Crate is assembled! Just have to tighten the screws with the Allen wrench!
Yea, me!

Jo, et al. Criminal Minds and CSI are new tonight. And believe it or not, Idol auditions start tonight!

Hoda said...

I will do my yoga practice at home tonight...the snow is coming down heavily and I have not heard the snow removal people nor the sand trucks. When I came in a little over an hour ago the hill up to my place was icy...

Mema Jo said...

I suppose then that the 'spot' will be there for quite some time.

Guess I'll be watching Criminal Minds and another one at 10

BBL

hedgie said...

JudyE---call Worker's Comp and see what you need to do to re-open your claim. DON'T pay for any dr. evaluation out of your pocket. Get an employment/disability lawyer.....start with Legal Aid.
And NO, there is NO law dictating job descriptions. Does FL WC accept "Stree" claims??? Some states don't (like WV), but if FL does, file a new claim for that.
