♥♥HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY♥♥ Glad to see many, especially Lynn, are up and about. The sun is out and one of the Juniors just landed in tree behind office!!!!Got some pretty good pics. Now have to watch if the others return. Sharon, hope Mopsy is feeling better. I forgot to watch Westminster last night, hope there's more tonight! BBL
Have finished my 2 mile walk with Leslie. Did not do the cool down or the stretches as Sharon, my sister, called. She and Dan are frustrated with "Peggy". Phones, TV, computer...everything ATT is down. They have a 3 ft sink hole out by the telephone post. Try telling Peggy that! LOL She kept saying they would be out with a new modem....DUH...that will not work. Sharon said Dan was yelling into their cell phone last night. ATT was supposed to out this morning but so far no good.
Thanks PAULA and LYNN...I wonder about extradition treaties PAULA and the US would have to honour them I als o think she wants a life of International travel. I hope the Italian Supreme court throws the case out...Not good for her resuming a normal life for now...yet good for book sales I presume...
DANAWV, thanks for the call over. Thanks Steve, for the ♥♥ Day thread! DANAWV, the sound is working fine on the computer b/c I hear other sounds (ie. when my antivirus updates, my gmail notifier, I can hear music on Pandora radio), but I don't have sound at the nest site. PAULA, I've tried getting to the site with Firefox (which I use all the time) and with IE, no sound with either. Acc. to the specs for the laptop, Adobe Flashplayer was already installed, but I went to the Adobe site and downloaded it myself as soon as I got the laptop up and running last night. Any other suggestions from anyone for what to try?
Man, am I dragging today!! Have had my caffeine fix at lunch and still have a headache! I probably won't make it through the 8:00 show on TV tonight!!
LYNN, glad to hear you're feeling a little better! SHARON, is Mopsy a dog? In scanning VERY quickly thru the blog from yesterday afternoon and evening, I saw a post from you about her being 19 years old and kinda wearing out. So sad for pet owners to watch!
Great news about TORI getting the trach. LOLLY, hope your eye is looking better every day, soon you'll be posting that your vision is getting better every day, like Jim has been.
OK, need to get some work done here. Kids bought carnations for one another as a Student Council fund raiser, so I will be distributing those closer to the end of the day! Later friends!
Okay, checked back and see that it was Dana who found our new thread. Thanks, Dana.
On Amanda Knox--I heard something awhile back about her going back to Italy to testify for her parents because they have been charged with libel or slander because of statements they made when they were in Italy.
I think the whole family needs to avoid international travel.
THIS IS A SHORT BUT SWEET VIDEO OF THIS MORNING SMALL SMALL FISH DELIEVERY AND YOU CAN HEAR THEM TALK BACK AND FORTH I THINK SHE WAS SAYING IS THAT ALL I GET FOR V DAY LOL This am visit with small fish I uploaded it this am but wasn't ready when I left and I just remembered it Later
I saw the 3 people today but it wasn't Charles when I asked. We are on 6th floor tori is in room 3 in SCICU
Charles was baffled when I told him he may have met and talked with Robyn.... He racked his brain and just couldn't remember........ Perhaps the kids will see Robyn today..... MTBR
Jo, good news on your BP, and on John's progress! Hot dog was GOOD!!!!
BE PREPARED!!!!!! 2nd HALF OF WESTMINSTER IS NOT ON CNBC. It's on USA. If you set "record series" on CNBC,you aren't going to catch it. Whole thing was very misleading. Comes on at 8 tonight.....repeats 8 tomorrow morning only.
Eggs uncovered, SHep at 11, Belle getting ready to settle back down.
Hoda....found this from a fall Vanity Fair article about Amanda:
"She has to stay away, and almost certainly the U.S. will not comply with any extradition request from Italy, if there is one, which itself is dubious. With an extradition request, you have to show evidence or guilt—and the evidence was all contaminated."
Oh, the window will be wonderful for Tori!!!! A view of the outside world and SUNLIGHT!!!!!! And the pretty city lights at night!
Shirley, what happened at the Doctor's office???? I was going to tell you that if there is a metatarsal fx that it is likely to be a spiral. And the nail definitely needs to come off.....bleeding at the base means it is loose, and it very prone to infection setting in. And I can't voice my professional opinion strongly enough that FEET belong to podiatrists, not orthopedists! And I speak from lots of personal experience!!!
♥ Happy ♥ Valentine's ♥ Day ♥! Hope this is a day when many dreams come true ! ♥xxx♥ooo♥
Came in the door just in time to see the changing of the brooders and our two lovely eggs !
LYNN, please to see you're feeling better and keeping some food down. Wish those cravings could be satisfied, but afraid some of them will have to wait a day or two ! ☺
Good news from ROBYN ! God is good !
Love reading the kidisms our Momster grands and teachers come up with !
Looking forward to dinner at Julie's--chicken stir fry. Hope the roads are clear between here and there. We got a couple of inches overnight.
Hmmm, wonder what Belle's vocalizing was all about ???
Bubby stayed up last night after I headed up to bed. He made choc. covered strawberries, which he left in the frig, knowing I'd find them when I got up to pack his lunch. But no flowers :o(
Yes, I got flowers. We were at the grocery store. He left me in line to go get a lottery ticket. (Just want to try to be rich!) He came back with flowers, a small bouquet which I paid for. LOL But, it was flowers.☺
Tori now has a room with a view, she can see sunlight and moonlight, YAY. Tomorrow Tori may get a collar for her trache so she can start to work harder and get up without the tube separating from the trache. These windows are huge, the width of the room and it comes with a shade when she doesn't want to see the building across the street.
Tori is so beautiful, I have never seen such a glow before, almost heavenly
I've been paying bills online, cleaning the house, oh--and I'm babysitting the bulldogs thru Wed. night. Had a virus scare on my laptop, so had to do the lengthy scan on it, but it was O.K.
Lynn, haven't read back to the other thread, but looks like you're feeling somewhat better today! That's WONDERFUL!!! Thank God!
I need to run now, and make a bank deposit, but will be back asap. I DID get a flower from Kubby! Need to get a picture of it and share. BBL...Have a great day! :o]
Thanks Paula and Lynn for the 2 eggs this year confirmation. I just didn't know if I should continue watching as intently as I have been in the early, early morning hours...overnight hours to most.
LOL The pie was almost a disaster!! Santa put pie weights in my stocking. Have never used them. So, today I did. I attempted to pour them into a bowl after baking and cooling the crust. The crust fell half way out of the dish too!!!! Yikes! I salvaged it and did manage to get the pie weights gathered up. Not sure what to think of pie weights!!
Thank You LORD for listening to my prayers and receiving them. Praying that Lynn will wake today. Feeling much much better. PRAISING YOUR HOLY NAME FOR LYNN FATHER DID COME ONTO THE BLOG EARLY AND SINCE. SHE IS SAYING SHE DOES FEEL BETTER. FATHER SHE IS TAKING SMALL STEPS IN EATING. HOLY FATHER THAT LOVES US SO MUCH FOLLOW THROUGH I ASK FOR YOUR TIMING FOR LYNN TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY AND EAT MORE. GLORY AND PRAISES TO YOUR ALMIGHTY NAME!! FATHER YOUNG TORI AS WE ALL PRAYED FOR HER. IN YOUR TIMING YOU GAVE HER NEW LUNGS. She still needs YOU. You said, "I will never leave nor forsake you". I BELIEVE THAT WITH TORI THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE IN YOUR TIMING TO BRING HER TO A FULLY HEALTHY YOUNG GIRL THAT WILL BREATH ON HER OWN, RUN AND NOT BE WEARY, WALK AND LAUGH WITHOUT GASPING FOR BREATH. HERE AGAIN PRAISES AND GLORY GO TO YOU FATHER. GOD Charlie needs to listen so only YOU can remind him of things he has seen in the fire department that will make Charlie want to get that leg elevated, Kay also has health needs and YOU know what they are, Michael's classmate with breast cancer FATHER breast cancer now is not always a death sentence...YOU LORD ALMIGHTY need to reach this person. Delphia needs to get her Disablility back of all who knows what is going on in this case is YOU THE LORD. I BELIEVE YOU can turn the waves here and get her check back to her bringing Glory to YOUR Name, Mother who BELIEVES IN YOU AND BELIEVES YOU LIVE WITHIN HER HEART is not always feeling very well. Since she won't let the doctors know. YOU ARE HER PHYSICIAN TO EASE THE PAIN. Lord I believe there are others and there will always be other people or animals that are going to need you. Like Linda, Diann, many others like Margy that need your LOVING CARE WITH HEALTH ISSUES or other issues. That don't ask because they believe others are worse off with health than they are or they have other types of issues that need you more. I ask for YOU FATHER GOD to take over here. GOD you know the needs of all people. Forgive me but I again ask in YOUR HOLY name to help them. GOD I commit the one to YOU that has said they are NOT a Christian Lord. I believe you are the toots and the tree with branches to all your people. This one saying, "I am NOT a Christian" worries me deeply within my heart and soul. Without them having YOU. God it saddens me for I could not live without YOU living within me. I love you LORD you live within my heart. How can this person go on each day without YOU. There are those YOU FATHER GOD have even carried. She must be like a dolphin trying to swim without water. I can't imagine not having YOU to Love me and care for me, to forgive me for my mistakes and to walk beside me. I pray and fear for her and her family that she claims to not be one of YOURS. Lord I truly feel someone along the way has planted a seed...it just needs to be watered and given sunshine which can only come THROUGH YOU. Please allow someone to be the one to help that seed grow. I ask this in YOUR NAME. I have been called by this person that I am a racist. YOU FATHER KNOW THOSE WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN WRONGLY. THAT I AM NOT A RACIST!!!! THEN AGAIN I THINK OF ALL THE NAMES YOUR SON WAS CALLED. God there are those I have no name for that I came across and I told them I would pray for them. As I do but you know them so I ask you to add them to this prayer list. TO CONTINUE PRAYER 1/2
PRAYER CONTINUED 2/2 There are many that have loving animals sick, some that are old. YOU are the CREATOR even of these animals. Yes I know I have had to come to you with a decision. Not wanting to make it. I have ask You Father PLEASE PLEASE take this one in its sleep. Only for me to wake the next day and the wonderful animal still be alive. I pray you will help those that need to make the decision to send that devoted loving animal to Rainbow Bridge...a place where they are sick no more. Yes I was and am lonely for those that YOU left it to me to make the decision. Telling me that they gave you/me all this devotion and love now it is time for you/me to give to them. Yes even after making the decision I cried and cried knowing all along YOU was the one helping me to give them a better life without suffering. GOD I PRAISE YOU for all the Blessing you have given me/us. I even ask for prayer for the pair of eagles we have named Shep and Belle and their eggs. Be with those that want to come in April giving them safe travels. Lord you already know this but you leave it up to me/us to talk with YOU about it. Steve wants to put the infrared light back up after the season is over and before the next season starts. Father I/we need help with this because they could tell him he can't do it because of budget cuts. The light at night helps us Momsters and Dadster and all kids and people watching the live cam to know and see more about the eagles. Yes it is more of enjoyment but there is also learning. Father God I ask that YOU suplply this need however YOU know to do it and when LORD YOU know to do it in your timing. Lord if there is anyone or anything that I have missed I ask for YOUR MEMORY to place those prayers and PRAISES in this list. Father all PRAISES AND GLORY ARE GIVEN UNTO YOU. Amen
So happy to read LYNN is feeling better and the hot dog stayed and what a terrific lot of news this is.
LOLLY the pie looks awesome and the flowers are beautiful and I like the vase very much...I do not understnand the pie weights thing...never heard of such a thing but they do not sound too useful. If you could not make them work they probably are not worth using...
Thanks LYNN for the information on Amanda Knox and the extradition. It is true evidence would have to be presented and it was all tainted. I wish her luck with that...
I was given a rose from Friends of the Library and also a chocolate bar from the health food store. I went in to buy Cortes Island Clam Chowder and as I went to pay they offered me the chocolate.
It is a an amazingly beautiful day here. Warm and the skies are blue and no wind and the glaciers are so lovely to look at and the snow is melting in town...makes me think I could go out without a coat!!!
The eagles are back here too. I heard talk of it but have not seen them yet.
I see SHEP in the nest...last entry was from PAULA and Belle was in then...did anyone see the switch?
Just walked around the yard, but came in. Saw too much I want to do, but really am not supposed to bend over yet. Guess I could sit flat on the ground, but it is a bit wet. Sigh.... Jack is out working in his workshop and has the door wide open. Beautiful day! Tulips are coming up and I see potential blossoms on my TX Mountain Laurel.
Well!!! In Canada it is against the law to be caught with a loaded fire arm. A chap was caught in his cousins flat taking pictures of himself with the loaded fire arm...it is an illegal fire arm mind you. The law here says a minimum sentence of three years in jail if convicted. The police caught him because they went in in search of his cousin and just happened to find the chap!!! A judge in Ontario refused to apply the law and called it "cruel and unusual punishment" to give the three year minimum jail sentence. She gave one year and what an uproar it is causing here!!! We have not heard the end of this story I am sure!!!
I don't know is she posted the link to the eagles she saw today but here it is Her and DEX went out today I want to go there sooooo bad Glo and Dexter valantines adventure today I subscribe to her youtube and got the notice in my email TOOOOO COOOL
What did Ed get Dana for Valentine's. Yes Ed usually gets me 1 rose not real. I don't like real roses. I have a vase with all the roses he got me and written on them is why and when he got them for me.
That is not what he got me this year. You say, "How can Ed get you anything b/c he is in heaven"????
Ed left an envelope with money in it for me to get a present on certin special days. So I got a new pair of binoculars for Valentine's day. Will bring them on April Nest Visit. Hugs and Thank you Ed with a BIG SMOOCHxxxoooooo♥♥
WVDANA - look for a book light at a bookstore, or even a Walmart. Or check out the electronics dept where they sell computers - there are some lights made for 'puter use.
Good evening all! Had to work AM and PM shifts, still at work til 7ish. Back in early in the AM tomorrow. Just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
We have returned from Bob Evans' Family Night. Sam and Izzy got face paints of hearts! There were lots to do at the Kraft table! They enjoyed themselves.
I'm running scan on puter being a PIA my icons changed again and usually when I run Norton they straighted up odd that the IE go ghost white and the icon go bonkers
Good Evening Eagle Buds. Gotta go eat din din, but wanted to mention that I've put pics of "Junior" among others in the nook!I love it when they pose well!! Read a bit of blog today and looks like most ailing folks are doing better today! Will keep praying ☺♥ BBL
I am off to my evening yoga practice. It continues to be so beautiful here I will wear a lighter coat to go out in the evening!!! How Grand is That????
Update on Claudia:Sister of my daughter's sister in law! Prayers did well!
Thank you my dear friends for the prayers for my sister. She indeed had angels watching over her and made it through a tough surgery. Love to all of you from our entire family.
Hi all! Finally got Quickbooks installed, my printer installed, have recreated as many of my bookmarks as I can (PIA), and have transferred my documents, photos, and the Quickbooks file from the external hard drive to the new computer.
PAULA, still had no sound after reboot, even though I had downloaded the latest Adobe flashplayer. So, decided to download Adobe Shockwave and VOILA - I have sound at the nest! Love it when I find the solution!!
LOLLY, the flowers are loverly but the pie is more loverly!!
LORETTA, again, whatta job you have - you get paid to do what we would all do for free!!
SHARON, hope Mopsy had a good day today!
Great news on Tori's progress!
Off to watch Glee and then to bed early tonight! JO, Alcatraz will have to wait til tomorrow night!
Goodnight all! I can hear a train near the nest! =)
On Amanda Knox: I do not know, but I would think that extradition would not be likely when she has already been found not guilty and released by Italy. In the US, subjecting someone to double jeopardy is not legal. I don't think we would extradite someone if they are not guilty by our laws.
LOLLY, what a bee-yoo-tee-ful pie ! The flowers are lovely, too, of course. 47 years of wedded bliss ! How wonderful !
I hope our legal expert, JUDIE, will weigh in on the Amanda Knox situation. In fact, I always look forward to her weighing in on any topic and appreciate her dedication to setting the night light for us !
It's not bad out there tonight...only 40°...took Nick for another walk tonight...last night too. Feels good to get back to walking and some exercises as well, too.
Bath was welcome. Feel like I've spent too much time at table today. Had a lot of crosswords to catch up on, plus the puter time....so now I'm ready to stretch out on the sofa.
Wonderful news about Claudia, Jo. Praise the Lord.
Long day today. The student "crises" have begun. Do I care? NOT! Sometimes I just have to shake my feeble head.
Kay, I did not follow the Knox case closely. I would like to think the parents will retain legal representatives to appear for them rather than risk returning to Italy but I am not familiar with the Italian legal system. I just always had a gut feeling that the deaths were involuntary rather than premeditated but then this, I think, has to do with libel and slander accusations against the parents. Seems rather a waste of time, money to prosecute.
Jo, so pleased to see that Claudia managed the surgery successfully. Prayers continue, of course.
Good news about Tori. Hugs to her and the family.
Lynn, seems you had a fairly good day -- compared.
Belle is keeping the future babes warm and safe so it is time:
The sandperson is headed out to visit the bloggers and sprinkle dream dust over all. The night light is set for 11:00pm for anyone who may need to arise in the darkness or may tumble in from the West coast. There will be a special stop for Red tonight with a delivery of momster prayers for successful surgery tomorrow. Restful sleep for all.
Whew, that was a LONG almost 12 day...especially as it wasn't planned!
I came home to some very bad news regarding Steve's job situation. Random House cut all the temps last Monday. I don't remember if I mentioned that or not. This Monday, he was suppossed to start at another place, but they have postponed it til next week. The temp angency thought they had a position for him for the rest of this week in the mean time, but they didn't. None of the other jobs applied for so far have panned out.
This is a huge blow. Our resources are depleted. We will not have the rent come March 1. There is no assistance available for us from the government because even with the little pay Steve has had over the last month, we are above the amount at which any assistance is available. We would actually have been able to POSSIBLY get something if he had no income. Go figure...you try to help yourself and it backfires. No wonder no one can get off of welfare, but that's another story.....We are in very dire straits. Steve is very, very depressed.
We have been blessed, though, with many small miracles that have allowed us to hang on this long.
I have hestitated to mention this. There are many on here, and in our extended friends and family circles, who have more urgent prayer needs. But I know how strong the power of prayer on this blog can be, and I ask thay you pray for us now, as hard as you can. Especially for my Steve.
No need to respond to this post...please. I know well that your love and support are here for us, and I thank you for that, and for your prayers!
and now to return to the regulary scheduled blogging.....LOL!
Today, a STINKBUG was found at work. I said that I brought it in because it was one of our breeding stock from Soper's STINKBUG Ranch, and it was feeling a bit under the weather today and needed some veterinary attention!
I decorated the office for Valentine's Day, so in that spirit I also brought some Frank Sinatra CD to play! The young'uns in the office were less than thrilled, but the rest of us and the clients enjoyed it!
Well, looks like everyone is TVing or maybe VALENTINING! I've got to get to bed, back to work early in the AM. Will check in if I can...the internet there has been cattywampus for the last two days so Dr. C. was trying to fix it.
PRAYERS LYNNE2...it sounds dire and I hope somehow the doors open and there is relief... HUGS and LOVE to yoiiu and to STEVE.
Back from a very good yoga practice and I see Belle is facing six and head is tucked in...
The British Papers are bringing up points that often when thigns are not considered a law in England British Nationals have been extradited to the US because it was a broken law there. They are extending the argument that this should apply to Amanda Knox also...I rather think NOT, since the case was so corrupt to begin with, yet Meredith was from England and here is this whole fuss again... I appreciate JUDIE's chimming in and also SHIRLEY's.
Have been watching the dog show. When the Pekingese. which won, was shown I could not help but laugh. I thought it looked and waddled like a skunk. Jack said it looked like a caterpillar. Saw some beautiful dogs!
Oh, Lynne-ie, my heart is breaking for you---and for Megan and Russ, too. He is also out of work again. You kids just can't catch a break. There has to be something pop up ASAP! You can't keep a good man down, and with strong women by their side, I know that good things have to happen. HUGS to all, and prayers are happening. Sure wish I'd win that damn lottery.
Never got an email response from Red asking that Diane email me tomorrow. Wonder if he was pre-admitted today?? Prayers that all goes well.
Judie, can't wait to hear your tales of what the wannabe's are demanding now! And your head is NOT feeble!!!!
Will say my goodnights now. News will be over soon, and the pillow is calling my name. Love you all. Thanks for all great Valentine wishes, and for your prayers.
RED was on Face Book Lynn...said surgery is at 9:30 AM his time.I too suggested that MRS. Red come on the blog to let us know how he is...he did not respond to this suggestion either...I had asked the time of the surgery and he gave it so all we can do is pray.
I had the same problem as LYNN, with Humana Insurance , with the exception of cost. Lynn had to pay $35 co-pay for each time she had radiation therapy...Fitness Clinic wanted $125 each time I visited for therapy for a 6 week period! I told them no...went home and made a few phone calls. I am now scheduled to have Therapy at a fitness center 1 mile from my house for $35 a visit! I could WALK there:) I don't understand why one place will charge so much less for the same treatments...actually it is the INSURANCE CO. who determine what they will pay...so confusing. Guess I'll sleep on it:)
GOOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS PRAYERS FOR ALL SLEEP TIGHT
Time to say good night I was checking out family over on FB Also see that Hunter's toe is broken Ouch - wish my young friend well!
Praying for successful surgery for RED Lolly, praying that your vision has or will be improving.... Lynn - very thankful you are getting back to yourself! Lynne - The good Lord has to be watching over you! Don't give up faith!
Morning gLORI ! Here early due to early bedtime last night, but may go back to bed before long. Good to hear your voice on this day that promises to be unusually beautiful for mid-February !
Still very dark at the nest, but can see that Belle is comfortably tucked with head toward 1 spot.
JUDIE, thanks for thoughts on Knox case. Imagine much hinges on what kind of agreement our country has with Italy on such matters. Hope the family can stay put and safe in the U.S.A.
CAROLANNE, LOL the last poem ! Reminds me of good Ogden Nash quote: "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker !"
LOLLY, nice dinner, good wine, great dessert ! Life just doesn't get any better than that.
LYNNE, we prayer partners are "on it". Adding MEGAN and Russ to the list as well.
I don't have cable so missed the Dog Show, but took a look at the slideshow on Yahoo news. The Dalmation would probably have been my pick, just based on the pics.
Change of avatar in honor of the beautiful harginger of Spring I saw in the snow yesterday ! I love robins ! Snow is giving way to some rain and temps in the 40's for the rest of the week. First day of Spring only about 5 weeks away. Hope Mother Nature agrees with the calendar !
RED's surgery is @9:30 a.m.,EST. Let's all remember to send our positive thoughts and prayers his way !
WANDA, sorry to hear about yet another insurance rip off, but glad you found a reasonable solution. My PT co-pay was $40 per visit or 80 per week. Too much for a fixed income budget ! I'll be talking to Aetna Medicare rep today. When I went to the urologist Monday we discovered my new 2012 card took me from Open Access HMO to just HMO, which means I must have my primary doc refer to specialists. They got my doc to fax the proper paperwork over so my appt. wasn't canceled, but that requirement is a bummer. I also want to find out why an Rx went from $37 to $95 at the first of the year. There is no generic for it, but that cost is outrageous ! Grrrrrr.
Prayers for Red (Bill) surgery today for the hip replacement. Lord guide the doctors and be their hands. Successfull and no problems with breathing for Red's surgery. Then be there Lord and help him through PT and recovery.Amen
Uh oh, not a good sign that DMO hasn't checked in! Hope you're feeling better soon, DMO!
Prayers for LYNN to feel even better today, for RED for a successful hip surgery (he and WANDA can dance together!!), and for LYNNE2 that Steve finds work quickly (this economy sure is something!)
Off to get ready for my Wednesday. Meeting after school with a group of teachers to brainstorm ideas for promoting more respect among the kids - respect for other students, for teachers, for the school. Once we've "solved" that dilemma, maybe we'll tackle world peace! Maybe world peace would be easier!! =) Will check in from school. HAGD eagle friends!!
This won't be my usual Malcolm n' Seth Wednesday. School is out for a Teachers Professional Developement Day. I'll be on call if Seth needs me, but his plan is to barrel into research and rough drafting of an English paper that is due soon.

The sun is out and one of the Juniors just landed in tree behind office!!!!Got some pretty good pics. Now have to watch if the others return.
Sharon, hope Mopsy is feeling better. I forgot to watch Westminster last night, hope there's more tonight!
BBL
Good afternoon and Happy Valentine's Day again.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, Paula.
Have finished my 2 mile walk with Leslie. Did not do the cool down or the stretches as Sharon, my sister, called. She and Dan are frustrated with "Peggy". Phones, TV, computer...everything ATT is down. They have a 3 ft sink hole out by the telephone post. Try telling Peggy that! LOL She kept saying they would be out with a new modem....DUH...that will not work. Sharon said Dan was yelling into their cell phone last night. ATT was supposed to out this morning but so far no good.
I am off to bake a pie!
Thanks PAULA and LYNN...I wonder about extradition treaties PAULA and the US would have to honour them I als o think she wants a life of International travel. I hope the Italian Supreme court throws the case out...Not good for her resuming a normal life for now...yet good for book sales I presume...
DANAWV, thanks for the call over. Thanks Steve, for the ♥♥ Day thread! DANAWV, the sound is working fine on the computer b/c I hear other sounds (ie. when my antivirus updates, my gmail notifier, I can hear music on Pandora radio), but I don't have sound at the nest site. PAULA, I've tried getting to the site with Firefox (which I use all the time) and with IE, no sound with either. Acc. to the specs for the laptop, Adobe Flashplayer was already installed, but I went to the Adobe site and downloaded it myself as soon as I got the laptop up and running last night. Any other suggestions from anyone for what to try?
Man, am I dragging today!! Have had my caffeine fix at lunch and still have a headache! I probably won't make it through the 8:00 show on TV tonight!!
LYNN, glad to hear you're feeling a little better! SHARON, is Mopsy a dog? In scanning VERY quickly thru the blog from yesterday afternoon and evening, I saw a post from you about her being 19 years old and kinda wearing out. So sad for pet owners to watch!
Great news about TORI getting the trach. LOLLY, hope your eye is looking better every day, soon you'll be posting that your vision is getting better every day, like Jim has been.
OK, need to get some work done here. Kids bought carnations for one another as a Student Council fund raiser, so I will be distributing those closer to the end of the day! Later friends!
Yes Sandi, Mopsy is a dog! :)
BWE cam is not great.......
Kristen about ready to leave.
She brought the BP gauge for me to use
Doc wanted me to keep track since he
put me on the Fluid pill.... so far ok.
The kids went down to see Susie's dad.
They were about to take him off the
respirator... Prayers for John!!
I do have sound on my live feed.. wind
Love Zach's remark about "that's not even a word" Love it!
How was your Hotdog Lynn?
I did receive a beautiful rose today from Hubby! (No chocolates :( )Just
kidding about the chocolates -
Is Wanda going down to the soup kitchen tonight? I may have missed her remark
Terrific Tues TV Tonight!
Sandi - Alcatraz was good last night!
Home for lunch to find a NEW THREAD
THANKS FOR THE NEW ONE STEVE
AND HELLO OF ALL EAGLE BUDS AND BUDLETS ON THE BLOG
NOW TO GO READ I WILL BE BACK
Okay, checked back and see that it was Dana who found our new thread. Thanks, Dana.
On Amanda Knox--I heard something awhile back about her going back to Italy to testify for her parents because they have been charged with libel or slander because of statements they made when they were in Italy.
I think the whole family needs to avoid international travel.
THIS IS A SHORT BUT SWEET VIDEO OF THIS MORNING SMALL SMALL FISH DELIEVERY AND YOU CAN HEAR THEM TALK BACK AND FORTH I THINK SHE WAS SAYING IS THAT ALL I GET FOR V DAY LOL
This am visit with small fish I uploaded it this am but wasn't ready when I left and I just remembered it Later
BTW - Robyn sent me email:
I saw the 3 people today but it wasn't Charles when I asked. We are on 6th floor tori is in room 3 in SCICU
Charles was baffled when I told him he
may have met and talked with Robyn....
He racked his brain and just couldn't
remember........ Perhaps the kids will
see Robyn today..... MTBR
Off to start the active part of my day. Enjoy everyone and talk to you later the afternoon before I go to evening yoga...♥
so good to see LYNN is getting better
Sandi have you rebooted your computer since you installed the Adobe update?
The latest version is 11.1.102.55

[:~D] Jim
Happy St. Valentines Day,
Ladies.
Talk to you later.
[:~D] Jim
Happy Valentine's Day to you, Jim
I rally wish I had a
Chocolate Peanut Butter Heart !!!
Jo, good news on your BP, and on John's progress!
Hot dog was GOOD!!!!
BE PREPARED!!!!!! 2nd HALF OF WESTMINSTER IS NOT ON CNBC. It's on USA. If you set "record series" on CNBC,you aren't going to catch it. Whole thing was very misleading. Comes on at 8 tonight.....repeats 8 tomorrow morning only.
Eggs uncovered, SHep at 11, Belle getting ready to settle back down.
And Shep poofs!
From Robyn in an email to me.....
Tori is switching rooms to one with a window, room 15.
Hoda....found this from a fall Vanity Fair article about Amanda:
"She has to stay away, and almost certainly the U.S. will not comply with any extradition request from Italy, if there is one, which itself is dubious. With an extradition request, you have to show evidence or guilt—and the evidence was all contaminated."
Belle was looking up and fussing at something.
Oh, the window will be wonderful for Tori!!!! A view of the outside world and SUNLIGHT!!!!!! And the pretty city lights at night!
Shirley, what happened at the Doctor's office???? I was going to tell you that if there is a metatarsal fx that it is likely to be a spiral. And the nail definitely needs to come off.....bleeding at the base means it is loose, and it very prone to infection setting in. And I can't voice my professional opinion strongly enough that FEET belong to podiatrists, not orthopedists! And I speak from lots of personal experience!!!
♥ Happy ♥ Valentine's ♥ Day ♥! Hope this is a day when many dreams come true ! ♥xxx♥ooo♥
Came in the door just in time to see the changing of the brooders and our two lovely eggs !
LYNN, please to see you're feeling better and keeping some food down. Wish those cravings could be satisfied, but afraid some of them will have to wait a day or two ! ☺
Good news from ROBYN ! God is good !
Love reading the kidisms our Momster grands and teachers come up with !
Looking forward to dinner at Julie's--chicken stir fry. Hope the roads are clear between here and there. We got a couple of inches overnight.
Hmmm, wonder what Belle's vocalizing was all about ???
HAGD one and all ! I♥U !
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I guess y'all know I meant a couple of inches of snow ! ☺
eggs uncovered at BWE....
that BWE cam did look wonky from time to time, Jo...
like a green sea
KAY - rotflmbo!!!
Hey, did anyone get flowers
for Valentine's Day?
Pictures?
Would love to see them.
Surely one of us got some! ♥
Lori, I did not! :-P No flowers or cards or candy or crap!
Bubby stayed up last night after I headed up to bed. He made choc. covered strawberries, which he left in the frig, knowing I'd find them when I got up to pack his lunch. But no flowers :o(
Me neither, Sharon, sorry...but I'm sure CA would share her chocolate covered strawberries is she were close. That is a sweet Bubby, CA!
Sure . . .after I licked off the choc. anyone can have the strawberries.
I've read the comments, but I'm wondering if the third egg watch is officially off...too late now?
Yes, I got flowers. We were at the grocery store. He left me in line to go get a lottery ticket. (Just want to try to be rich!) He came back with flowers, a small bouquet which I paid for. LOL But, it was flowers.☺
YEAH LOLLY!!
His lemon pie is almost finished. Still have the meringue yet to do.
Can you tell? 47 years in June. LOL
LOL!!!!! NOTHING here, either.....I did get cards from the girls and my Mom, tho'!
CarolAnne has a VERY thoughtful hubby!
Lori---highly unlikely that there will be a third egg. Which is okay!! Let's just pray that these two are viable!
Kay, be careful.....hmmmm....is chinese chicken special for V-day? Carolyn's work crew is having chicken teri-yaki!
Here's a cute one:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I got a dozen roses
My toddler ate two.
That is cute, C/A----bet it would freak us out if it had ever happened!!! On both counts!
Robyn Update:
Tori now has a room with a view, she can see sunlight and moonlight, YAY. Tomorrow Tori may get a collar for her trache so she can start to work harder and get up without the tube separating from the trache.
These windows are huge, the width of the room and it comes with a shade when she doesn't want to see the building across the street.
Tori is so beautiful, I have never seen such a glow before, almost heavenly
Big Deep Egg Roll
Hi, Gang!
Lynn, good to see you here!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, EVERYONE!!!
I've been paying bills online, cleaning the house, oh--and I'm babysitting the bulldogs thru Wed. night. Had a virus scare on my laptop, so had to do the lengthy scan on it, but it was O.K.
Lynn, haven't read back to the other thread, but looks like you're feeling somewhat better today! That's WONDERFUL!!! Thank God!
I need to run now, and make a bank deposit, but will be back asap. I DID get a flower from Kubby! Need to get a picture of it and share.
BBL...Have a great day! :o]
Belle rolling 2 lovely eggs. I think it's safe to say 2 is our number for this year! Fine with me!
My Jennifer and Jim were Married on
Valentine's day! They went this past weekend to Dutch's and enjoy their
dinner and time together!!!♥♥
I am headed to Bob Evans
Kids eat free on Tues
There are krafts available for them
This should be fun
Only have an hour due to dance class
at 6:00................
Shaking a leg here
John is off the respirator and doing well.... Could go home Friday...
BBL
Thanks Paula and Lynn
for the 2 eggs this year confirmation.
I just didn't know if I
should continue watching as intently as I have been
in the early, early morning hours...overnight hours to most.
Amazing, Jo! Way to go, John!!!
Enjoy your dinner! Wondered what crafts you were going to play with??!!! LOL!
Hi, Andy! Oh, yes, I am an almost new woman! And you have a good kubby!
Okay, Lori, here it is a picture of my bouquet of flowers and Jack's pie. LOL
Must be love♥
LOLLY - pie looks delish, love the flowers & the thought behind them, and the gorgeous vase!
Oh, wow, Lynn! "Almost a new woman!" That quote of yours makes me want to get up and shout!!!
LOL The pie was almost a disaster!! Santa put pie weights in my stocking. Have never used them. So, today I did. I attempted to pour them into a bowl after baking and cooling the crust. The crust fell half way out of the dish too!!!! Yikes! I salvaged it and did manage to get the pie weights gathered up. Not sure what to think of pie weights!!
Beautiful pie and flowers, Lolly!
Looks so yummy.
It is up to 66. Think I am going to go walk outside. Not going to work, just walk!!
Thank You LORD for listening to my prayers and receiving them. Praying that Lynn will wake today. Feeling much much better. PRAISING YOUR HOLY NAME FOR LYNN FATHER DID COME ONTO THE BLOG EARLY AND SINCE. SHE IS SAYING SHE DOES FEEL BETTER. FATHER SHE IS TAKING SMALL STEPS IN EATING. HOLY FATHER THAT LOVES US SO MUCH FOLLOW THROUGH I ASK FOR YOUR TIMING FOR LYNN TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY AND EAT MORE. GLORY AND PRAISES TO YOUR ALMIGHTY NAME!!
FATHER YOUNG TORI AS WE ALL PRAYED FOR HER. IN YOUR TIMING YOU GAVE HER NEW LUNGS. She still needs YOU. You said, "I will never leave nor forsake you". I BELIEVE THAT WITH TORI THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE IN YOUR TIMING TO BRING HER TO A FULLY HEALTHY YOUNG GIRL THAT WILL BREATH ON HER OWN, RUN AND NOT BE WEARY, WALK AND LAUGH WITHOUT GASPING FOR BREATH. HERE AGAIN PRAISES AND GLORY GO TO YOU FATHER. GOD Charlie needs to listen so only YOU can remind him of things he has seen in the fire department that will make Charlie want to get that leg elevated, Kay also has health needs and YOU know what they are, Michael's classmate with breast cancer FATHER breast cancer now is not always a death sentence...YOU LORD ALMIGHTY need to reach this person. Delphia needs to get her Disablility back of all who knows what is going on in this case is YOU THE LORD. I BELIEVE YOU can turn the waves here and get her check back to
her bringing Glory to YOUR Name, Mother who BELIEVES IN YOU AND BELIEVES YOU LIVE WITHIN HER HEART is not always feeling very well. Since she won't let the doctors know. YOU ARE HER PHYSICIAN TO EASE THE PAIN. Lord I believe there are others and there will
always be other people or animals that are going to need you. Like Linda, Diann, many others like Margy that need your LOVING CARE WITH HEALTH ISSUES or other issues. That don't ask because they believe others are worse off with health than they are or they have other types of issues that need you more. I ask for YOU FATHER GOD to take over here. GOD you know the needs of all people. Forgive me but I again ask in YOUR HOLY name to help them. GOD I commit the one to YOU that has said they are NOT a Christian Lord. I believe you are the toots and the tree with branches to all your people. This one saying, "I am NOT a Christian" worries me deeply within my heart and soul. Without them having YOU. God it saddens me for I could not live without YOU living within me. I love you LORD you live within my heart. How can this person go on each day without YOU. There are those YOU FATHER GOD have even carried. She must be like a dolphin trying to swim without water. I can't imagine not having YOU to Love me and care for me, to forgive me for my mistakes and to walk beside me. I pray and fear for her and her family that she claims to not be one of YOURS. Lord I truly feel someone along the way has planted a seed...it just needs to be watered and given sunshine which can only come THROUGH YOU. Please allow someone to be the one to help that seed grow. I ask this in YOUR NAME. I have been called by this person that I am a racist. YOU FATHER KNOW THOSE WORDS HAVE BEEN SPOKEN WRONGLY. THAT I AM NOT A RACIST!!!! THEN AGAIN I THINK OF ALL THE NAMES YOUR SON WAS CALLED.
God there are those I have no name for that I came across and I told them I would pray for them. As I do but you know them so I ask you to add them to this prayer list.
TO CONTINUE PRAYER 1/2
PRAYER CONTINUED 2/2
There are many that have loving animals sick, some that are old. YOU are the CREATOR even of these animals. Yes I know I have had to come to you with a decision. Not wanting to make it. I have ask You Father PLEASE PLEASE take this one in its sleep. Only for me to wake the next day and the wonderful animal still be alive. I pray you will help those that need to make the decision to send that devoted loving animal to Rainbow Bridge...a place where they are sick no more. Yes I was and am lonely for those that YOU left it to me to make the decision. Telling me that they gave you/me all this devotion and love now it is time for you/me to give to them. Yes even after making the decision I cried and cried knowing all along YOU was the one helping me to give them a better life without suffering. GOD I PRAISE YOU for all the Blessing you have given me/us. I even ask for prayer for the pair of eagles we have named Shep and Belle and their eggs. Be with those that want to come in April giving them safe travels. Lord you already know this but you leave it up to me/us to talk with YOU about it. Steve wants to put the infrared light back up after the season is over and before the next season starts. Father I/we need help with this because they could tell him he can't do it because of budget cuts.
The light at night helps us Momsters and Dadster and all kids and people watching the live cam to know and see more about the eagles. Yes it is more of enjoyment but there is also learning. Father God I ask that YOU suplply this need however YOU know to do it and when LORD YOU know to do it in your timing.
Lord if there is anyone or anything that I have missed I ask for YOUR MEMORY to place those prayers and PRAISES in this list. Father all PRAISES AND GLORY ARE GIVEN UNTO YOU. Amen
Lori, you can ease the vigil for a few weeks!!! Whew!
WANDA.....are you home from therapy yet? Hope they aren't working you too hard, gal!!
(Hey--psst--I bet Wanda got flowers from the Captain!)
Pretty tail and wing stretch by Belle
WQiggle wiggle, facing 1 now
Asked Red to have Diane email me tomorrow as to his progress. Hope she can!
Cooling off fast here....light rain in areas but not here yet. Great forecast for tomorrow, but rain Th.
So happy to read LYNN is feeling better and the hot dog stayed and what a terrific lot of news this is.
LOLLY the pie looks awesome and the flowers are beautiful and I like the vase very much...I do not understnand the pie weights thing...never heard of such a thing but they do not sound too useful. If you could not make them work they probably are not worth using...
Thanks LYNN for the information on Amanda Knox and the extradition. It is true evidence would have to be presented and it was all tainted. I wish her luck with that...
I was given a rose from Friends of the Library and also a chocolate bar from the health food store. I went in to buy Cortes Island Clam Chowder and as I went to pay they offered me the chocolate.
It is a an amazingly beautiful day here. Warm and the skies are blue and no wind and the glaciers are so lovely to look at and the snow is melting in town...makes me think I could go out without a coat!!!
The eagles are back here too. I heard talk of it but have not seen them yet.
I see SHEP in the nest...last entry was from PAULA and Belle was in then...did anyone see the switch?
Just walked around the yard, but came in. Saw too much I want to do, but really am not supposed to bend over yet. Guess I could sit flat on the ground, but it is a bit wet. Sigh.... Jack is out working in his workshop and has the door wide open. Beautiful day! Tulips are coming up and I see potential blossoms on my TX Mountain Laurel.
I see Shep, but I didn't see the switch....one last outing for Belle before she does her night duty.
WOW CarolAnne hubby made choc. covered strawberries. He must be a wonder in the kitchen. Neat Valentine's present!!! (: ♥♥
Lolly got flowers and Jack get a lemon pie (: ♥♥
Oh such good news about Tori and for Valentine's she got a room with a window!!!
Andy got flower from hubby (: ♥♥
Hoda got a flower and choc (:
Lynn maybe you did not get candy or flowers but you did get to feeling better. "Almost a new woman!!" ( : ♥♥♥
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Well!!! In Canada it is against the law to be caught with a loaded fire arm. A chap was caught in his cousins flat taking pictures of himself with the loaded fire arm...it is an illegal fire arm mind you. The law here says a minimum sentence of three years in jail if convicted. The police caught him because they went in in search of his cousin and just happened to find the chap!!! A judge in Ontario refused to apply the law and called it "cruel and unusual punishment" to give the three year minimum jail sentence. She gave one year and what an uproar it is causing here!!!
We have not heard the end of this story I am sure!!!
In comes Belle from five position and land in the pantry and moves twigs.
Shep continues to sit on the eggs and oh my Belle is eating what is left overs in the pantry
I guess that constitutes housecleaning, Hoda. Did not see her fly in, but she certainly is chowing on something.
Shep up and rearranging the furniture.
Shep poofs!
Shep gets up from the cup and does nestorations on the railing at ten position. Belle is still eating. Poof Shep
Belle is tip toeing to the eggs.
Belle moves towards the cup and the eggs and does an egg roll and settles down after moving some flugg
Home from work and they ask me to come in early tomorrow only by a half an hour gonna think about it Got to start reading not toooooo many 64 not bad

Great news on TORI
Thanks for the video of Glo and the eagles I didn't see Dex but know he was there (:
It looked all ice. I was wondering if there was any areas for the eagles to fish???
I need to fine a little light to hook onto the top of my laptop to shine down on the keyboard. Any one have any ideas?
What did Ed get Dana for Valentine's. Yes Ed usually gets me 1 rose not real. I don't like real roses. I have a vase with all the roses he got me and written on them is why and when he got them for me.
That is not what he got me this year. You say, "How can Ed get you anything b/c he is in heaven"????
Ed left an envelope with money in it for me to get a present on certin special days. So I got a new pair of binoculars for Valentine's day. Will bring them on April Nest Visit. Hugs and Thank you Ed with a BIG SMOOCHxxxoooooo♥♥
WVDANA - look for a book light at a bookstore, or even a Walmart. Or check out the electronics dept where they sell computers - there are some lights made for 'puter use.
WVDANA - Amazon sells them too
Good evening all! Had to work AM and PM shifts, still at work til 7ish. Back in early in the AM tomorrow. Just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful day....we've got CUPCAKES!!
We have returned from Bob Evans' Family Night. Sam and Izzy got face paints of

Kraft table! They enjoyed themselves.
Mema Jo tonigt is a good night for TV (:
Yes, Dana Finally! 3 in a row!!!
Can you sit still that long and not doze off! I think I can....
Here's you AWWWWW moment of the day:
Joining the Band
Jo, frankly NCIS looks like it's gonna be kind of stooopid! Think I'll tape for later and take my bath then!
bbl
LYNN that is just toooo cute that the bird just sat there LOVED IT
I'm running scan on puter being a PIA my icons changed again and usually when I run Norton they straighted up odd that the IE go ghost white and the icon go bonkers
Lynn, sounds like a good idea.
Sounds like a bath time would be a good
substitute!
Hello everyone.
Isn't that Shep on the nest. I didn't notice a switch over.
Hedgie.........that WAS an AWWWWWW!
So cute.
Happy Valentines Day!
BEagle...
This is Belle... I witnessed the changing of the guards and all is indeed well...BELLE on for night shift.
Okay. Thanks Hoda.
LYNN delightful video...Thanks.
Good Evening Eagle Buds. Gotta go eat din din, but wanted to mention that I've put pics of "Junior" among others in the nook!I love it when they pose well!!
Read a bit of blog today and looks like most ailing folks are doing better today! Will keep praying ☺♥
BBL
There's a bottom end of an eagle on the West End nest.
The Decorah eagle just now flew off. I thought she was going to stay.
Don't they usually lay before Belle?
I am off to my evening yoga practice. It continues to be so beautiful here I will wear a lighter coat to go out in the evening!!! How Grand is That????
BBL♥
The White Rock nest is getting fluffed up. Lot's of greenery on the nest.
Update on Claudia:Sister of my daughter's sister in law! Prayers did
well!
Thank you my dear friends for the prayers for my sister. She indeed had angels watching over her and made it through a tough surgery. Love to all of you from our entire family.
Jo I think I can make two so Unforgettable which I really like. I'm afraid I'll fall asleep so I have set the DVR for that one.
Wonderful Jo for Claudie. Will she have to go through radiation or chemo?
Hi all! Finally got Quickbooks installed, my printer installed, have recreated as many of my bookmarks as I can (PIA), and have transferred my documents, photos, and the Quickbooks file from the external hard drive to the new computer.
PAULA, still had no sound after reboot, even though I had downloaded the latest Adobe flashplayer. So, decided to download Adobe Shockwave and VOILA - I have sound at the nest! Love it when I find the solution!!
LOLLY, the flowers are loverly but the pie is more loverly!!
LORETTA, again, whatta job you have - you get paid to do what we would all do for free!!
SHARON, hope Mopsy had a good day today!
Great news on Tori's progress!
Off to watch Glee and then to bed early tonight! JO, Alcatraz will have to wait til tomorrow night!
Goodnight all! I can hear a train near the nest! =)
The nest and Belle brightened up a little. I can actually see Belle.
Good evening--
On Amanda Knox: I do not know, but I would think that extradition would not be likely when she has already been found not guilty and released by Italy. In the US, subjecting someone to double jeopardy is not legal. I don't think we would extradite someone if they are not guilty by our laws.
If I tilk my screen just so, I can see Belle, too.
CAROLANNE, loved your little poem and so I'm stealing the idea for
LYNN:
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Stir fry was yummy.
Hope Caro's was, too !
Tickled pink with your "almost a new woman" ! Wahoo !
The little bird in the band was cute as can be. That guy kept his cool--so neat !
Thinking of RED and hoping his lovely wife can send a report through you tomorrow !
Sandi, glad you got your sound working...thought you had downloaded shockwave!
I can see Belle...she is facing 10, but looking towards 1
JO, that's Praise the Lord news about Claudia !
LOLLY, what a bee-yoo-tee-ful pie ! The flowers are lovely, too, of course. 47 years of wedded bliss ! How wonderful !
I hope our legal expert, JUDIE, will weigh in on the Amanda Knox situation. In fact, I always look forward to her weighing in on any topic and appreciate her dedication to setting the night light for us !
It's not bad out there tonight...only 40°...took Nick for another walk tonight...last night too. Feels good to get back to walking and some exercises as well, too.
Off to empty the checkbook....bbialw
Belle up for an egg roll
I read here of some Powerful Healing amongst our Families, Friends and Loved Ones..
How Glorious and Hopeful that is....
also sounds like some pretty nice Valentinings going on...
Hope all have that feeling that Today is better than Yesterday, and Tomorrow will be even Better!
Prayers for Wellness, Comfort and Peace continue for all
Good Night, Precious Pals...
Hope that Sleep is Sweet and Restorative.
God Bless This Nest, and
God Bless Us, Every One xoxo ♥
Thanks for the pretty Valentine posting Paula. Nice.
I am shuffling off to the hay.
Goodnight eagle people. You are in my prayers....♥
Settled and facing 1
One down
&
Two more shows to go.........
Just checking in quickly.... bbilw
Bath was welcome. Feel like I've spent too much time at table today. Had a lot of crosswords to catch up on, plus the puter time....so now I'm ready to stretch out on the sofa.
Wonderful news about Claudia, Jo. Praise the Lord.
Will check in before I turn in.
Belle looks beautiful!!! Head Tucked!!!
Belle is tucked....train passing by
Belle is tuckered out and tucked. I'm going to follow suit ! I'm plumb tuckered out, too.
Prayers for all in need and in thanks for all the good things reported here today !
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good evening all.
Long day today. The student "crises" have begun. Do I care? NOT! Sometimes I just have to shake my feeble head.
Kay, I did not follow the Knox case closely. I would like to think the parents will retain legal representatives to appear for them rather than risk returning to Italy but I am not familiar with the Italian legal system. I just always had a gut feeling that the deaths were involuntary rather than premeditated but then this, I think, has to do with libel and slander accusations against the parents. Seems rather a waste of time, money to prosecute.
Jo, so pleased to see that Claudia managed the surgery successfully. Prayers continue, of course.
Good news about Tori. Hugs to her and the family.
Lynn, seems you had a fairly good day -- compared.
Jo, happy you had a nice family night.
Belle is keeping the future babes warm and safe so it is time:
The sandperson is headed out to visit the bloggers and sprinkle dream dust over all. The night light is set for 11:00pm for anyone who may need to arise in the darkness or may tumble in from the West coast. There will be a special stop for Red tonight with a delivery of momster prayers for successful surgery tomorrow. Restful sleep for all.
Evening folks,
Just back from in-laws.
Here's another quip:
Rose are red
Violets are blue
Vodka is cheaper
Than dinner for two!
Appears all in well at nest and with each of you.
Hope everyone has a good night.
Hugs to all!
Whew, that was a LONG almost 12 day...especially as it wasn't planned!
I came home to some very bad news regarding Steve's job situation. Random House cut all the temps last Monday. I don't remember if I mentioned that or not. This Monday, he was suppossed to start at another place, but they have postponed it til next week. The temp angency thought they had a position for him for the rest of this week in the mean time, but they didn't. None of the other jobs applied for so far have panned out.
This is a huge blow. Our resources are depleted. We will not have the rent come March 1. There is no assistance available for us from the government because even with the little pay Steve has had over the last month, we are above the amount at which any assistance is available. We would actually have been able to POSSIBLY get something if he had no income. Go figure...you try to help yourself and it backfires. No wonder no one can get off of welfare, but that's another story.....We are in very dire straits. Steve is very, very depressed.
We have been blessed, though, with many small miracles that have allowed us to hang on this long.
I have hestitated to mention this. There are many on here, and in our extended friends and family circles, who have more urgent prayer needs. But I know how strong the power of prayer on this blog can be, and I ask thay you pray for us now, as hard as you can. Especially for my Steve.
No need to respond to this post...please. I know well that your love and support are here for us, and I thank you for that, and for your prayers!
and now to return to the regulary scheduled blogging.....LOL!
Today, a STINKBUG was found at work. I said that I brought it in because it was one of our breeding stock from Soper's STINKBUG Ranch, and it was feeling a bit under the weather today and needed some veterinary attention!
Tomorrow is RED's big day to get his new hip! Prayers for success! Wonder if Mrs. Red will somehow be able to let us know how everything goes?
I decorated the office for Valentine's Day, so in that spirit I also brought some Frank Sinatra CD to play! The young'uns in the office were less than thrilled, but the rest of us and the clients enjoyed it!
Well, looks like everyone is TVing or maybe VALENTINING! I've got to get to bed, back to work early in the AM. Will check in if I can...the internet there has been cattywampus for the last two days so Dr. C. was trying to fix it.
Good night, prayers for all!
Been watching the dog show. They all should win!!
I may konk out in the chair, so better say Pleasant Feather Dreams & prayers for all w/ailments ;>)
Oh, Lynne. Prayers for you and Steve. If anyone needs and deserves a break, you two do. I sincerely hope that you will get that break soon.
You know how much we care about you.
Red, my Scrabble playing friend. I will be thinking about you and hoping that you are back at it soon.
Best wishes and prayers for a good surgery.
Time for me to wind down this evening and head upstairs.
Good night all. God bless.
PRAYERS LYNNE2...it sounds dire and I hope somehow the doors open and there is relief...
HUGS and LOVE to yoiiu and to STEVE.
Back from a very good yoga practice and I see Belle is facing six and head is tucked in...
The British Papers are bringing up points that often when thigns are not considered a law in England British Nationals have been extradited to the US because it was a broken law there. They are extending the argument that this should apply to Amanda Knox also...I rather think NOT, since the case was so corrupt to begin with, yet Meredith was from England and here is this whole fuss again... I appreciate JUDIE's chimming in and also SHIRLEY's.
Lynne, you know you have our prayers!! Prayers for Steve, prayers for you, and prayers for the whole situation. Please know we love you. (((hugs)))
Have been watching the dog show. When the Pekingese. which won, was shown I could not help but laugh. I thought it looked and waddled like a skunk. Jack said it looked like a caterpillar. Saw some beautiful dogs!
My turn!!
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Our Osso Bucco was good
And our wine is too!!♥♥
I'm back....NCIS: LA and Unforgettable were good. Will probably watch NCIS tomorrow....after I watch the morning taping of the dog show.
Have not had our pie yet. Finishing our wine first!
Yes, I yelled out (in despair) when the pekignese won...upset Nick!
Lynn, Hoping for the best outcome for you and Steve! Love you!
Oh, Lynne-ie, my heart is breaking for you---and for Megan and Russ, too. He is also out of work again. You kids just can't catch a break. There has to be something pop up ASAP! You can't keep a good man down, and with strong women by their side, I know that good things have to happen.
HUGS to all, and prayers are happening. Sure wish I'd win that damn lottery.
Belle is awake and has moved...now facing nine
Never got an email response from Red asking that Diane email me tomorrow. Wonder if he was pre-admitted today?? Prayers that all goes well.
Judie, can't wait to hear your tales of what the wannabe's are demanding now! And your head is NOT feeble!!!!
Will say my goodnights now. News will be over soon, and the pillow is calling my name.
Love you all. Thanks for all great Valentine wishes, and for your prayers.
Wishing Wanda would let us know how therapy went.
Belle moving agasin. Standing and rolling the eggs, now facing noon
RED was on Face Book Lynn...said surgery is at 9:30 AM his time.I too suggested that MRS. Red come on the blog to let us know how he is...he did not respond to this suggestion either...I had asked the time of the surgery and he gave it so all we can do is pray.
ON THE SUBJECT OF THERAPY:
I had the same problem as LYNN, with Humana Insurance , with the exception of cost. Lynn had to pay $35 co-pay for each time she had radiation therapy...Fitness Clinic wanted $125 each time I visited for therapy for a 6 week period!
I told them no...went home and made a few phone calls. I am now scheduled to have Therapy at a fitness center 1 mile from my house for $35 a visit! I could WALK there:)
I don't understand why one place will charge so much less for the same treatments...actually it is the INSURANCE CO. who determine what they will pay...so confusing. Guess I'll sleep on it:)
GOOOD NIGHT DEAR FRIENDS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
SLEEP TIGHT
PS
Glad you are doing somewhat better
LYNN♥
Time to say good night
I was checking out family over on FB
Also see that Hunter's toe is broken Ouch - wish my young friend well!
Praying for successful surgery for RED
Lolly, praying that your vision has or
will be improving....
Lynn - very thankful you are getting back to yourself!
Lynne - The good Lord has to be watching over you! Don't give up faith!
Prayers for all
Hugs for all ♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good night Belle - down in the nest
Good Night Shep - up in the tree
Time for me to shut down. Starting to fall asleep sitting here. The pie was yummy. The Jubby was habby!♥
So very sorry to hear our Megan and her husband are also having job difficulties.
See you all tomorrow. My eye doctor appointment is not until afternoon. Yea!
Sweet dreams....Valentines!!!!!
Can you believe...for that last post, saying good night, I had to sign in? Really????
Belle is up and has been for a good five minutes now...rolling the eggs, turning around and rolling the eggs again, she is now facing four.
I will sign off.
Belle continues to get up and roll the eggs. All is well at the nest.
Goodnight.
Sweet Dreams.
God Bless.
PRAYERS.
Goodnight HODA! Sleep well. Tomorrow will be another beautiful day in Nelson. ♥
BELLE IS AWAKE BUT ALL TUCKED IN AND NOW FACING 11 - 12.
BELLE STILL TUCKED IN - HEAD BETWEEN WINGS AND FACING 9.
Morning gLORI ! Here early due to early bedtime last night, but may go back to bed before long. Good to hear your voice on this day that promises to be unusually beautiful for mid-February !
Still very dark at the nest, but can see that Belle is comfortably tucked with head toward 1 spot.
JUDIE, thanks for thoughts on Knox case. Imagine much hinges on what kind of agreement our country has with Italy on such matters. Hope the family can stay put and safe in the U.S.A.
CAROLANNE, LOL the last poem ! Reminds me of good Ogden Nash quote: "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker !"
LOLLY, nice dinner, good wine, great dessert ! Life just doesn't get any better than that.
LYNNE, we prayer partners are "on it". Adding MEGAN and Russ to the list as well.
Good Morning Kay!
You're a nice ray of sunshine in this dark morning. ♥
I don't have cable so missed the Dog Show, but took a look at the slideshow on Yahoo news. The Dalmation would probably have been my pick, just based on the pics.
Thank you, dear ! What a nice compliment ! {{{{{{LORI}}}}}}
Change of avatar in honor of the beautiful harginger of Spring I saw in the snow yesterday ! I love robins ! Snow is giving way to some rain and temps in the 40's for the rest of the week. First day of Spring only about 5 weeks away. Hope Mother Nature agrees with the calendar !
I have tulips coming up already! Hope they don't bloom then we get a killer frost.
Yes, I've seen some bulb plant leaves emerging already, too. Like you, I hope they survive whatever winter we have left !
SHIRLEY, wondering how Hunter is doing, both in terms of healing and with the crutches.
Morning LORI and KAY (early bird this AM!) Morning DMO!
Can see that Belle is rolling the eggs and repositioning with head toward 9 spot and she tucks ! Still very dark there.
Hi SANDI ! DANAMO hasn't checked in yet, sure hope that cold n' sore throat are much better today !
RED's surgery is @9:30 a.m.,EST. Let's all remember to send our positive thoughts and prayers his way !
WANDA, sorry to hear about yet another insurance rip off, but glad you found a reasonable solution. My PT co-pay was $40 per visit or 80 per week. Too much for a fixed income budget ! I'll be talking to Aetna Medicare rep today. When I went to the urologist Monday we discovered my new 2012 card took me from Open Access HMO to just HMO, which means I must have my primary doc refer to specialists. They got my doc to fax the proper paperwork over so my appt. wasn't canceled, but that requirement is a bummer. I also want to find out why an Rx went from $37 to $95 at the first of the year. There is no generic for it, but that cost is outrageous ! Grrrrrr.
Good Morning Lori and Kay (:
Belle still moving around with head toward 12 spot at the moment.
Good Morning, DANAWV,why are you up so early lately ?
Prayers for Red (Bill) surgery today for the hip replacement. Lord guide the doctors and be their hands. Successfull and no problems with breathing for Red's surgery. Then be there Lord and help him through PT and recovery.Amen
Uh oh, not a good sign that DMO hasn't checked in! Hope you're feeling better soon, DMO!
Prayers for LYNN to feel even better today, for RED for a successful hip surgery (he and WANDA can dance together!!), and for LYNNE2 that Steve finds work quickly (this economy sure is something!)
Morning DANAWV!
Belle is pretty restless and keeps moving around. Bet she can hardly wait til' the sun rises and Shep takes over for a while !
Off to get ready for my Wednesday. Meeting after school with a group of teachers to brainstorm ideas for promoting more respect among the kids - respect for other students, for teachers, for the school. Once we've "solved" that dilemma, maybe we'll tackle world peace! Maybe world peace would be easier!! =) Will check in from school. HAGD eagle friends!!
Good morning. Up late and still not great!
This won't be my usual Malcolm n' Seth Wednesday. School is out for a Teachers Professional Developement Day. I'll be on call if Seth needs me, but his plan is to barrel into research and rough drafting of an English paper that is due soon.
Good luck with that Sandi! If they don't get it early and at home they aren't going to get it in middle school. Sorry to be so negative.
Oh, dear. Sorry you're still suffering, DANAMO ! Such ailments seem to take about a week no matter what you do.:(
Just heard Belle calling out while I was in the kitchen! She must need a break! Morning DMO, sorry you're still not great!
Belle wants breakfast and a good break. Shep should be here soon !
Light enough to see the two eggs now as she does yet another shift in position.
