Thank you so much for the new thread, Steve!

I'll go yell for the others to come on over! :)

Lori O. said...

Where is everyone?

LYNN I saw your message
and was so happy that you
must be feeling a little bit better...
of course, we'll keep praying for completely better.
You're in my thoughts all the time - really! Prayers, prayers and more prayers! I love you!

CarolAnne said...

LINDA - re: eagle sightings
We headed over to the Mississippi river to see the eagles & to attend a special Eagle Fest Days that is held each year. We were on the west edge of Wisconsin.

WV sUSAn said...

Thanks for the new thread

Lori O. said...

CA, been meaning to tell you how funny your avatar is. I love it! Bet you wish you were still out there communing with eagles.

Linda said...

Thanks for new thread, Steve and for the call over, Lori ♥

Thanks, CarolAnne about where you saw all those eagles!! Truly amazing!

Ditto on Lori's post about LYNN!! Love you lots and praying....all the time!!

Lori O. said...

Going to try and take a nap now...
BBL

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Good morning again everyone. I woke up this morning with a little bit of a sore throat but that is feeling better now.

I did get to talk to Nila this morning and she is pretty much in and out. Of course, only God knows what is going to happen but I am so grateful that we have been blessed with a whole month with her after docs giving her 1-2 weeks. Grateful for every day we have.

Linda said...

SHARON - Feel better ♥ Hope it is nothing more that a mild sore throat.

Prayers for Nila as she may be starting her journey from this life to the next!

Lolly said...

Thanks Lori for the call over and thanks Steve for the new thread!

Sharon, glad you talked with Nila. Bless her! Hope your throat stays better!!! Gargle!!!☺

Lolly said...

I really need to start my day. Have a good one! I'll be in and out! And, watching the cam.

Oh, did see where the second eaglet did not make it at BW. So, so sad!

paula eagleholic said...

Not caught up...

But glad to hear Lynn was on!

Don't know if anyone posted this information, but the second BW chick did not make it :(

paula eagleholic said...

Shep incubating, facing 8

Nice day out there...

Hoda said...

Good morning, good afternoon everyone.

Awesome to read LYNN'S post.

Sorry about BW chick.

I agree DANAMO I do not think your principle would see the educational value in race car driving...could be argued it is a career opportuinity for someone!!! LOL!!!

Hoda said...

make that principal, not principle

Hoda said...

So sorry to hear about the shooting in Ohio School

Mema Jo said...

Paula thanks for the sad info on BWE
Wow I was really rooting for the little
one. I feel so badly for Lisa and for
all viewers.

WOW SusanWV - So glad that the bug man caught you lol (FB Pictures)


I'm off to take Hubby to pick up his car that was in for a checkup

CarolAnne said...

Off to start some lunch for Bubby, then off to the in-laws.

Added a few more pics from weekend.
I promise -- these are the last ones. :o)

Lori - I really must change that avatar - something eagley, I think.

Have a great afternoon, everyone!

Hoda said...

Great photos CAROLANNE. Thank you.It looks like a wonderful area.

Kay said...

Happiness is hearing from LYNN. So glad you're feeling better ! Hope that food sticks to your ribs or maybe your tail bone ???? LOL Praying non-stop, dear friend.

Happy, too, is seeing a New Thread ! Thank you STEVE and thanks to LORI for the call over ! Hope you're sleeping peacefully by this time !

SHARON, hope you'll be able to get rid of that sore throat, pronto. Prayers for Nila.

Sorry, sickened really, but the loss of eaglets at BW. Life in the wild is not easy. Thankful to see Shep in charge of a peaceful looking nest right now !!!!

Kay said...

That is "about" not but in my last post.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

There has been so much work to bring eagles back from the brink of extinction while destroying their habitats all at the same time.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

We knew what you meant Kay! :)

paula eagleholic said...

Whoa, the blog looks different!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Where does it look different?

stronghunter said...

Yes, it looks very different. I had to search around a bit to find things.

Hoda said...

When I post SHARON the page is different, avatars now to the left not the right and for me it had been showing red but today the writing is in blue...I think it is today that google's new rules come into effect...They are giving theselves permission to snoop a bit more than they were allowed before...I hope someone sues them for it!!! It does not seem right to me...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Mine is still the same.

Lolly said...

I am with Sharon. Do not understand the "different".???? I came on as usual!

Lolly said...

Avatars on the right for me...as usual!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I signed in on IE too to see if that made a difference and it is the same. I was already signed in on Google Chrome.

hedgie said...

What was going on yesterday that Google was showing everyone's IP?
And now this new look.....why can't they leave things alone??


I need to ask for prayers for SIL Charlie and his family. He and Carolyn are on their way to the hospital (my poor girl is never going to get enough sleep...:( )
His eldest brother is in ICU and they have called the fmaily in....he is not expected to survive. So please add Wes to your list. Thanks. Pray that he has a peaceful transition.

Linda said...

Very Different Here, too...

I even closed and reopened because I thought it was so strange. Everything is so BIG, too!!!

SHARON - Are you on a mobile device? Maybe that is why yours is the same.

Hoda said...

"I feel the change a comin'" LOLLY and SHARON!!!
Isn't there a song? I smile, I actually like the new look more...it is colour co-ordinated and no more yellow to tell me that my post got through alright...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Sorry about Charlie's brother. Praying for them for sure.

I am on my computer right now Linda.

Linda said...

You got it, Lynn. Praying for Carolyn, Charlie and Charlies brother and family. So sad......

stronghunter said...

The comment box is at the bottom.

Linda said...

SHARON - And no changes on yours?

Maybe they are doing things regionally.....working their way south!!

Linda said...

Mine is still on the top left...Shirley.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Nope, no changes no matter what way I come in.

Hoda said...

OH NO LYNN!!! This is not good...Prayers for WES and I hope Carolyn manages to get some sleep somehow before she goes to work...God Bless you and your daughters I have so much respect and admiration for you all...

Linda said...

I wonder if it would have anything to do with the browser you use??

I am using Firefox. Anyone seeing the change on Internet Explorer or Safari?

Hoda said...

LINDA I am on Internet Explorer and there is change on my screen. I am wondering if it has to do with the changes that take effect today in terms of IP addresses nnd how much they can now access...

Linda said...

Yes, HODA, you could be on to something there.

Who knows? It is what it is, right?

Kay said...

No change here. I went out and back in to be sure. I use Internet Explorer.

Oh,LYNN, I am so sorry to hear about Wes's condition. My prayers are with him, Carolyn, Charlie and family. Thank goodness your dear daughter has inherited your strength.

Ms Bookworm said...

Good Monday Morning, Everyone!

So very sorry to hear of the loss of the eaglets at Blackwater. My heart goes out to everyone there.

Found myself tearing up, too, while reading of Paula's delivery on Sunday! SOOOOO happy for Lynne2 and Steve! Love you guys!((HUGS))!
Lynne2, great to have you back!

Lynn, glad you're able to keep some food down, and hope you are able to gain a bit of weight back.
Prayers for you continue! Love you SOOO much! ((((GIANT, CAREFUL HUGS)))--don't want to bruise ya!
Adding Charlie, Carolyn, Wes & family to the prayer list.

We took Emma to the dog park yesterday, and besides her usual doggy pals, we met a new one--a real character! He's an 11-year-old English Bulldog named Ibon! He is in FANTASTIC shape (not an ounce of extra fat), and he loves to chase tennis balls, and a basketball around. His owner says he has always tried to give him lots of cardio-type exercise, and it sure seems to be working! Ibon is a dark brindle and white. Hope he's back next week. Will try to get pictures!

Lolly said...

Prayers for the family, Lynn. Yes, Carolyn needs her sleep. Prayers for her too.

I am on IE and no changes, yet!

Mema Jo said...

WHO DID IT?

I am tiring with those who always need
to change things that are not broken.

I don't really know how many posts we
have OH I see 27 comments...

It was less then 1 hr since my last post
Well we can't be anywhere that would
not let us be in contact with each other
I NEED MY MOMSTERS/DADSTERS ♥♥

Ms Bookworm said...

Have some stuff to get done around here--laundry and dishes, bills to pay. Will be back in a while. HAGD, everyone! Will try to lurk in-between doing transcription. :o]

magpie said...

Happy to see our Hedgie on here today! ☺♥

But so sorry about Charlie's brother's condition, Lynn, prayers for all the family....

paula eagleholic said...

The comment box was at the bottom, now it is back to the upper right for me.

Page is totally white, like the profiles. Avatars are at the top left of the post, with blue name underneath. Looks very much like when you clicked on the blog name instead of the comments box to get in.

magpie said...

Blog page all different for me to too....too bright ! I guess I'll get used to it....

I agree with, why fix something that did not seem to be broken ???

And we are still going to have that 200 post dead-end barricade, now come on ! THAT needed to be fixed !! :(

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, so sorry about Charlie's brother. How old is he?

Lolly said...

I left the blog...all the way and came back, still no change for me.

magpie said...

Sharon - your comment about Eagles...spot on !

Bring them back from the brink of extinction and destroy so much of their habitat....

Woof !!!!

Prayers for your dear friend, Nila, Sharon ...what a blessing that you have been able to share so much joy and comfort with her through these last weeks...(( Hugs ♥♥ ))

Mema Jo said...


Ch - ch- changes David Bowie

magpie said...

I did the same thing Lolly thinking I was in Cyber-hell somewhere...but I came back to the same thing

excuse my language

JudyEddy said...

Home for lunch and find a new thread when I logged on TOO COOL THANKS FOR THE NEW THREAD STEVE

and good afternoon eagle buds and I see its is or I should say and I hear it is windy again at the nest and COOL BEANS at night race at 7

magpie said...

well thre's BLUE from Jo but no underline...hmmmm....

HI JO!

magpie said...

Beautiful day out there hereabouts....

hope the skies are clear again tonight so we can see yet another new arrangement of the Celestial Trio....Jupiter, Venus and the Moon, getting bigger each day !
One of the names for this month's Moon, from my "Special Source" - is the Full Worm Moon...
oh worms are good for the soil, right ! And Robins Love them ☺

magpie said...

Yes, very sad at Blackwater....agree that if the chick was injured....he or she is at peace with its sibling....how tough it is, especially for those at Blackwater...
Thanks Paula for the alert to the new update....Lisa and her staff do such a good job there, with information and insight....

magpie said...

Best wishes for a good rest of the day, Eagle Pals...

got some things to attend to....
including getting my card ready to mail to Tori for her Birthday on the 1st
Thanks Jo, for the address....

xoxox ♥

magpie said...

well, at least if you hit on the "day" we can read comments like we could before....you know, when you can't see what's over past the 200 mark unless you post.
small bright spot I guess, that didn't change

WV sUSAn said...

JO. Thanks and yes we had a blast. 19th Annual Mardi Gras party. Had the Orkin man with me. Haha

LOLLY Thanks for the BWE update. So sad.

Mema Jo said...

I wonder if Steve saw this yet? Very
Bright and as long as the avatars are
there, I won't have any problem!

Sharon - Prayers for Nila are for her
to be ready for her journey
Lynn - Prayers for Charlie's brother
and also for Carolyn to keep her strength.

Linda said...

Oh, I see what Shirley was talking about with the Comment Box at the bottom!

If you are in "full screen" mode, the comment page is where it used to be at the top right.

If you "restore down" to make your page smaller and narrower - to view multiple sites, the comment box moves to the bottom because your screen is narrower.

I like that part....

Then you don't have to scroll over to the right and move up to post your comment.

Hmmmm......

Mema Jo said...

Blue underline comment is totally
different from Just Blue - it is a
link - click on it!

Mema Jo said...

It is really for Hoda - she was trying
to think of a song about CHANGE

Linda said...

Also when you refresh in the narrow screen (restore down size), it brings you to the bottom instead of the top of the blog

Another thing I like!!

So when the blog gets long you're not scrolling and scrolling and scrolling!!

Linda said...

Check out the "preview" of your post...

It is long and narrow along the side of your screen.

That is strange....

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

It is all still the same for me.

Linda said...

WV sUSAn - Hope you had some good cajun food, too!!

hedgie said...

Paula, I think Wes is around 60.

Hi to all who have come in since I posted. Nap time here.....BBL.

Mema Jo said...

Linda - I don't know what you mean
Restore Down....

Linda said...

Couldn't repost a portion of what I said earlier, but:

If you restore down to a smaller screen size (We used to call it 3/4 page years ago, but it is the box between the maximize and minimize at the top right of your screen), you will see the comment box move to the BOTTOM of the blog.

You also won't have so much white on your screen and you don't have to scroll up to make a post.

Interesting!

Linda said...

Jo, does that make sense?

JudyEddy said...

Thanks for the update on the eaglet that didn't make it so sad :^(

So glad to hear you are feel some what better LYNN and are eating some sorry about your boney arse need to get the underwear that has foam in it
Praying for Carolyn, WES Charlie and Charlies brother and family.

The only change I see on mine is the print seems bigger even checked my zoom still 100 my comment box is still same as the avatars are the same I also notice that I have blue around all my windows that I thought were transparent as a matter of fact I went into the control panel to see if it was something that I needed to change I guess not That was yesterday also .MAYBE it will take time to affect everyone that is why some aren't changed WHO know with computer

DID everyone go and change their Google thing that SANDI posted yesterday I did mine last night put on standby like it advised it is really easy she posted it last night I have it on my profile and I am sure she still does A friend of mine read it and couldn't find where to change it and I found out she didn't have a Google acct with Gmail or YouTube or blogger so told her she had nothing to worry about So make sure you change it

magpie said...

Sharon! You must be just plain Special !
But we already know that ☺

Happy Napping, Lynn....I already had mine: Fosamax Monday, never fails....

Hoda said...

JO Thanks for the song...Ch Ch Changes...try to embrace the change it tells me...LOL I do not think I could do anythig else with google!!! LOL!!! It is all good...

JudyEddy said...

I minimize all my windows and my box is still on top HMMMM

WV sUSAn said...

LINDA. The Cajun food is always amazing at this party. We have prizes for the best Female and Male dishes. I bought those prizes this year. Two Swamp Cookin' cookbooks with lots of stories and pictures. So much fun.

Lolly said...

Sharon, you and I are together on this...no change. ????

Susan, did LOVE your pictures on fb. Clever costumes!

Linda said...

Not "minimize," Judy, but the one between the big square box (maximize) and the dash (minimize) that looks like one square behind another.

If you hover over that it says "restore down"

If you click on that box, which I am sure you do from time to time to blog and watch the cam, that is when the comment box moved to the bottom for me.

JudyEddy said...

All still the same for me except the blue color around all my windows also LINDA I tried everything you did and its all the same maybe it will take time to roll out or maybe it has something to do with the GOOGLE thing I updated who knows who can figure out why they want to change things anyway

Linda said...

Susan - I lived in New Orleans and Baton Rouge for about 7 years as a kid and my Dad lived there into my adult years.

My first husband (still a friend) was cajun. Last name - LeBlanc!! He was an amazing cajun cook!!

JudyEddy said...

When I got to work this am My AsstMgr Lee came to me almost yelling but not there yet WHY DO I HAVE 7 DAY LATE NEGATIVES IN DEPT 4 AND 13 (which is papergood and household chemicals) not my depts anyway I LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID I DON'T KNOW SIR I WAS ON VACATION FOR THOSE 7 DAYS MAYBE YOU SHOULD ASK THAT DEPT MGR AND just sort of walked away as I was telling him I will do them now That just burns me that the dept mgr was there and why wasn't he talked to JUST VENTING

WV sUSAn said...

LOLLY. After so many years, it difficult to come up with something fresh each year. So we just went buggy. ;-)

Hoda said...

Go figure my google page is BACK TO NORMAL...avatars on right, not so bringt...and so on...BACK TO NORMAL...

magpie said...

Oh Lolly I misunderstood...I thought YOU had the change too...
I'm reading and writing and doing other things..sorry, I know I miss details.... ☺
Well YOU are special too...!

magpie said...

I'm quitting while I am behind!
Hi Hoda !
ttfn xoxo !

Linda said...

HODA - A day of surprises, I guess. Eventually we will figure out what the end result of these changes will be.

For now, mine is still in the new format!

Guess you joined the "Special" group of Sharon and Lolly!!

JudyEddy said...

I am hovering and get no words at all(no restore down) anyway time for me to head back to work I will see you after work

WV sUSAn said...

LINDA I just LOVE Cajun food. I bought the two Cajun cookbooks for the party prizes and think I may order two more from Amazon for myself. Lol

Hoda said...

Hi MARGY...HUGS♥
LINDA you are right a day of surprises.

Linda said...

Susan - I still buy my hot sauce from LA! A company called Panola Pepper Company. I order a case of hot sauce at a time because I like the flavor so much better that the ones at the supermarket. Of course my kids take bottles when they come up to visit!

It doesn't have to be hot, just flavorful.....even though some think it is a little hot. They rate their sauces with little peppers and one of my favorites is only a 4 out of 10 in hotness.

I don't like it so hot you can't taste anything else.

Mema Jo said...

I was able to see the wording
"restore down' but my comment box
is still up at the top.. Be nice if it were down by the last comment...

Taking a break.......... BBILW

Lolly said...

Off for doctor appointment. Later Gators!

Mema Jo said...

Of course as usuals - if I click out of this box and then hit the END key
I go right to the last comment...
likewise if I click out and hit the
HOME key I go to the top.....
That hasn't changed........

BBILW

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

The closest I have ever come to cajun cooking is watching Justin Wilson with Daddy and he would garontee his stuff to be hot! :)

I don't like hot foods myself. I guess I have a sensitive mouth.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Wax! :)

Has anyone talked to Normabyrd lately? I need to call her.

Linda said...

I never knew that one, Jo!!

Funny the things we know and the things we don't know!!

I was scrolling and scrolling to get all the way up or all the way down.

Thanks for the tip!

Mema Jo said...

PA FALCON CAM --- 2/27/2012 Nesting Season Well Underway
The resident male and female appear to be on track for another successful nesting season. The male has been observed bringing food offerings to the female and breeding activity appears to be normal. There have been reports of conflicts in the sky, possibly the unbanded male returning to challenge the resident male. At this point, it is likely that the resident male and female will drive off any interlopers. Their bond is strong and their territory is mutually valued and defended.

WV sUSAn said...

My heat tolerance has increased in recent years. Used to never eat hot stuff. Now I love it as long as it doesn't make me sweat or cry. Haha

LINDA. Cool that you can still order your sauce of choice.

WV sUSAn said...

Oh yea JO. I just love the PAFalcon nest.

Linda said...

JO - I discovered that it has to do more with the total width of the screen when you restore down.

If you make the width of the screen a little more narrow - until the box moves to the bottom - it will work.

First go up to the top where you see your comment screen.

Go to the right edge of the screen with your mouse. Hover until you see the arrow (going horizontal both ways).

Click and drag your screen in (narrowing) a little until you see the comment box disappear. It moves to the bottom. That is the width you need it to be to keep the comment box at the bottom while you are blogging!

Neat!

Judie said...

Good afternoon.

Thank you Steve for the new thread.

Lynn, so happy you stopped by and hope you are feeling some better. Sending a wish that Wes will either improve or have a peaceful transition. Hugs to Carolyn.

Sharon, I'm certain Nila is so comforted by your friendship and attention. Hope you throat feels better.

Saddened about the loss of the BWE babes. We all remember how that feels.

Jo, thank you for the falcon cam news.

Like the new blog format NOT!

hedgie said...

Time to get some clothes out of the dryer. It is 73° here! But wind is blowing so doesn't feel quite that warm!

Beginning to wonder if Daytona race will ever get started this evening.....gonna be a late night.....I'll probably sleep through a lot of it.

Linda said...

JUDIE - Always appreciate your humor!!

Kay said...

LYNN, that nap was not nearly long enough ! You will have company tonight as you watch the race and doze in and out. That's my M.O. !

Youse guys have me stumped. I have gone in and out, restore down, move around with arrows and I still get the same ol', same ol' here ! I am please to get JO's advice re:the Home and End keys ! Learn something new every day !

Anyone know how long Shep has been tending to the eggs ? I haven't seen Belle today, but I've not been glued to the puter today.

Linda said...

SHARON - LOL garontee!! Justin Wilson!! That was great!

Love to hear them talk!

Linda said...

Sorry Folks....

The 200 post problem still looks to be with us......

Went back to the earlier blog to look for something and couldn't get past 200 unless you click on the DAY, like we used to do..... :o(

Kay said...

Aha ! Just refreshed in search of new posts and my screen went to the new format many of you have described. I like having the comment box at the bottom and am not bothered by having avatars on the left rather than the right. Still, it's weird and seems quite unnecessary !

Linda said...

KAY - I went back and looked at the comments and it seems as though there has not been a switch reported since Shep took morning duty between 7:30am and 8:00am this morning.

Kay said...

Thanks for doing what I was too lazy to do, LINDA ! Wow ! This is a very long stint for him. He is proving himself to be devoted and dedicated to the task at hand ! I can now say, I love the boy !

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

And it has arrived in Bluefield!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Testing 1, 2, 3.

Kay said...

"It" being the blog change, SHARON ?

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Yes Kay, the blog change.

paula eagleholic said...

Garontee! LOL

I have only seen Shep on the nest today....but it's been nice and quiet...shhhh

Kay said...

The blog page has always been bright white for me. If I go in using the Day rather than the amount of posts I get a tan screen, just like the opening page. The 200 thing works there, but once I post there is an automatic switch to this white page.

paula eagleholic said...

Yep, if you narrow your blog page, the comments box is at the bottom...I like that!

Kay said...

Nice and quiet is nice ! ☺ Let's hope it stays that way.

Lori O. said...

That is way cool to have the comment box at the bottom!

Good Afternoon, everyone! Had a nap and now have a cup of coffee so I'm perkin' up!

paula eagleholic said...

BWE is back on, nest is MT

02/27/12:
Special News

Our Eagle Cam Web Log has a new post for Monday that explains the current status of the nest.

Craig Koppie of the US Fish & Wildlife Service has removed the eaglets for examination. We'll report more on that soon.

magpie said...

Loving see you fine Eagle Pals....

I'm headed out...

Have a good afternoon/evening....
Hedgie: I hope you get to watch the race....IF....it really gets going.

(( All-Day Hugs ♥ ))
xoxoxox

paula eagleholic said...

No change on the web log entry...

magpie said...

Thank you Paula...you are surely our BWE eyes....
keeping us alerted to the updates...
sure look forward to that Osprey cam getting up and running !!!
xoxo

Linda said...

Glad you're back and feeling perky, Lori!!

Linda said...

Stay safe out there, Margy! ♥

Lori O. said...

PAULA, do you think the BWE eagles will try for more eaglets this season...is it too, late?

Kay said...

LORI, that question was posed on NBG today and the moderator said it is highly unlikely that there will be more eggs at the BW nest this year. :( As for NBG, they aren't giving up hope for their nest since there have been years when their eagles have not laid any until late March.

paula eagleholic said...

I do think it's too late Lori....generally it seems if they loose their eggs soon after laying, they can recoup and lay another clutch...but I haven't seen any lay more after chicks have hatched.

Lynne2 said...

hey, popping in from from work. My blog is also different, comment box still at the top only, refresh takes me back to the top of the page and no matter what I do in the way of narrowing or reducing window size everything is still where it is on full page!

Hoda said...

LORI, LISA from Blackwater said the same thing as KAY...too late for eggs at their nest for this season.
Thanks for the update PAULA.

I am back to the new look!!! Wished they would make up their minds at google!!!

DanaMo said...

Okay...what with the new look?

Kay said...

Good afternoon, LYNNE2 ! Have been waiting for you to show up today. Did you and Steve get a good nights sleep as you predicted last night ? I find myself grinning from ear to ear when I think of you and the Christmas in February we all enjoyed yesterday ! ☺

Lori O. said...

Thanks Kay and Paula.
Well, I guess we can wait and see, and hope and pray for BWE. If it's highly unlikely, there's a little room for possible, right!

HELLLLOOOOO LYNNE2! I missed you! So glad you're back.

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Shep just did an egg roll and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, still wiggling! :)

Kay said...

Yep, Shep is a Wiggle Wart. I think he's been on the nest so long that he just can't get comfy. He must need a poop shot and maybe some food. I wish Belle would return ! I know, it's wildlife and I shouldn't inject human wants and needs here !

paula eagleholic said...

Kay, I did think of wrapping up everything in Christmas paper ☺

Lynne2 said...

I did sleep well for a few hours Kay, but had a tummy ache that woke me.

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, I think he starting to get the wiggle down!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Gang,
Well, when I refreshed to get any new postings, my format changed too! Not fond of the new format, except that it's nice to have the "Leave your comment" box at the bottom. Otherwise, don't like it. Guess I'll adjust, but darn,
if it's not broken, don't fix it!

Kay said...

Ah, sorry about that tummy ache, LYNNE. There seems to be too much of that going around these days !

DanaMo said...

My comment box is at the bottom of the page. This is going to take a while to get used to.

Hoda said...

Sorry about the tummy ache LYNNE...I hope you are better now...something going around and I hope it does not stay

Ms Bookworm said...

Oh, now that I've maximized, the comment box is still at the top!

Lori O. said...

Oh, ANDY! See if you can get a picture of Ibon and Emma at the next play date. He sounds adorable!

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Lori!

I will--kept thinking of you yesterday! Could not believe how young Ibon looks! That rascal is in great shape!

Kay said...

Google must have a Newbie on staff. Someone who feels it justifies their existence to create a new mouse trap. The old one worked just fine ! Boo-hiss !

The Chardon, OH shooting is so sad. One death so far. God bless and comfort those folks up there.

Lynne2 said...

So why if this format is different for everyone, it is not different the same for everyone??

Glad to see Lynn popped on! Prayers for Wes, Caro, Charlie and family.

Lynne2 said...

I am glad to have awoken this morning to find this wasn't all a dream!!!

Shoot, gotta run....catch you from HOME later!

Sandi said...

HOLY CRAP!! 152 comments since 11AM!! Hope that means you've all just been running your mouths and not that something is wrong!! OK, reading back!!

JudyE or Sandi: could you repeat the instructions (re: 2:23 today)from yesterday to "fix" whatever regarding Google?? I could not access the blog or nest yesterday except for a few tiny windows of time where everything I said was repeated several times! I am finally getting some of the blog today, but I wonder if all my probs stem from the new Google thing? Called my cable co and they said my computer had a "virus" - no, it did not!
I too have the new format of the blog.

Yes, the Chardon shooting is unsettling. Students ask, and I don't have an answer, why? Maybe young people today need adults who actually listen, observe, and put their children first.

Oh, if you want a garontee, I can garonteee I'll be peeling an unyawn for dinner.

Thank you for the BWE update Paula.

Judie said...

Wonder if the format change has something to do with our comments being tracked by Google so they will be better able to serve our interests -- of course, there would be no ulterior motive.

Ms Bookworm said...

Oh, bother!
Tried to pay a water bill for the desert house online, but the website was down. Called, and they said nobody else was having problems with it. My laptop did a diagnosis, and said the problem was at the other end, not with my computer. No time to mail in a payment, so had to do it over the phone with my debit card--and pay a $2.50 charge to do so! GRRRRRR!!!

Hoda said...

Of course NOT JUDIE!!! LOL!!!

Hoda said...

A bird flew to around noon trunk ands Shep was not pleased...white tail feathers is all I saw..shep snapped and ruffled his back middle section.

Ms Bookworm said...

Hi, Judie!

Sure hope that's not the case with Google, but somehow think it probably is. Ulterior motive? But of course not.

FuzzleMT said...

ok then - my comment posted TWICE - I guess I am not finished with my internet problems!
and sorry if this posts like four or more times -

Hoda said...

Some bird is flying out there between noon and eight branch...Shep was tracking. Camera just shook and he continues to track.

Linda said...

Someone's in the Attic.....

Ms Bookworm said...

Well, I'd better get back to work. Will check in later.

Judie, you and I are on the same page! LOL

Linda said...

MUST BE BELLE AS SHEP IS NOT ALARMED IN THE LEAST.....

Hoda said...

Camera shakes again and Shep continues to track now between noon and six.

Hoda said...

Shep gets off the eggs and takes off from seven towards nine branch, soft vocalizing from Belle I think. Now an answer and camera shakes again...so was that or was that not???HP???Really???NO???Some shaking was going on though...LOL

OK more shaking and down comes Belle and to the egg cup she goes not wasting any time...

Kay said...

SHEP POOFED AT 4:29 AND NOW BELLE TAKES OVER !

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Well, Ms. Belle took a long break today! Welcome home!

Sandi said...

OK, so the big topic of discussion today is the new look of the blog (which I hate BTW) b/c I no longer have an option to click a box that allows future comments to show up in my inbox! I'm going to try clicking on the day rather than on the number of comments and see if that makes a difference. IRENE, I will repost the instructions I put on the blog last night. BRB.

Hoda said...

Hancock Foundation called all the shaking "some bonding going on"...LOL so I guess that makes at least two people saw it...

Linda said...

I found that I never ebabled web history service with my Google account, so there was no history to delete in my account.

The only option I saw when I went through these steps was to turn Web History On, which I don't want to do.

Linda said...

Wow.....testing is right, SHARON!!

I just posted the instructions on changing your web history settings in your Google account at 4:35pm and the post has disappeared!!

Hmmmm Guess Google doesn't want me telling anyone how to do this!

Linda said...

Sandi said she would repost the link, so I will let her post it for Irene!

Sandi said...

GRRRR!!! #&!#?@# Google!!! Still no way for me to check the box to have comments sent to my gmail account! Will try getting on with IE - I HATE THIS S%#@T!!!

How to Delete Google Browsing History

Hoda said...

Done LINDA...Thank you...history deleted and paused. Thanks also for the link SANDI

paula eagleholic said...

I see Belle on the nest, panting, and her wings are slightly spread as well. She is facing 11.

Sandi said...

Nope, no go with IE either. JUDY, when you get home, let me know if you still have the option to check the box to have posts sent to your email (I know you always used that option in the past). The nice thing about it was that I didn't have to keep refreshing the blog page - new posts just kept showing up in my gmail account for me to read so I would only have to get on the blog page if I wanted to post or read someone's personal blog.

paula eagleholic said...

Mine was never on either.

paula eagleholic said...

Sandi, I wonder if that will give you the option if you have to resign back in?

Linda said...

HODA - Did you see my post that disappeared with the instructions?

That was so weird. I saw it post!

Sandi said...

Testing Paula's theory ...

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

I always click on the email box. I will have to wait until Steve posts a new day to see if the option comes up again.

Sandi said...

Nope, even when I sign out of Google, so I'm posting in anonymous mode, it tells me I will have to sign in before I can publish my commnent, I sign in, and there is no box to check to get comments in my inbox!! I so want to curse!!!

Hoda said...

LINDA not only did I see the post and followed the instructions, which worked very well, I also copied and pasted it to send to family memebers...This is really odd!!!

Lori O. said...

Oh please don't tell me disappearing post have returned!

Hoda said...

Looks like it LORI I clearly saw LINDA'S post which is no longer there!!!

Linda said...

Yep, it disappeared, LORI!!

I think that is the only one I noticed of mine that disappeared.

Serves me right for trying to delete web history so Google can't use it!!

Eagle-Eyed Shar said...

Sandi, the box wouldn't be there because it is already clicked for today. There is, however, no box to stop the emails so . . . ???

Hoda said...

SO so so very odd... I tried TWICE to post LINDA'S disappearing post and it tells me it published but it does not show on the blog!!! Something strange is going on.

Hoda said...

OH GREAT now it cancelled my profile!!!URGH BOO HISS !!! FILL IN THE BLANKS!!!

DanaMo said...

Sharon I don't think the box for email will come up when Steve makes a new thread because I went back to an old thread and it now has the new format.

Linda said...

HODA - Your picture is gone, too.

LORI - What did you do to get yours back?

So sorry, Hoda....

Linda said...

BELLE TUCKS IN.....

Lori O. said...

When the disappearing posts happened to me, I had to creat a brand new Google account and email back and forth with Google, which at first tries to lump it in with a common complaint...after several emails back and forth I was finally restored. Nightmare! But, it was definitely a Google controlled thing!

Linda said...

BELLE UNTUCKS.....CHANGES POSITION TO FACE 2...

Hoda said...

What a rip off!!! Google has been trying to get my phone number for over a year and they would not restore my Profile without giving them a phone number!!! It is getting more and more invasive...I gave it to them I wonder if it will work!!! I am not a happy camper.

Linda said...

I think I am going to just stay away from any profile stuff for a week or so until they get their ducks in a row.....

Hoda, maybe if you just post and not worry about the profile, maybe it will come back automatically in a day or so???

Sandi said...

SHARON, each time Steve started a new thread, I would have the option (right under the box where I entered text) to check that box before I would publish my first post on the new thread. Now I don't have that. Anyway, I'm done complaining ... Onward and upward!

LYNN, glad to see that you felt good enough to get online today. Do the Momsters need to take up a collection and buy you a soft, smooshy memory foam pillow for your butt?? =) We can do dat!! =)

SHARON, sorry to hear that Nila is declining but it has been a blessing that you and her family have had her for longer than expected.

Saddened by the news at BWE. Things like this happen in nature every single day, but live cams bring the animals right into our homes and we can't help but become attached to them.
