Good morning to all you late risers,,,morning Dave and Norma,, like lying in do we !!!!
Suzanne will tell you I nearly had a heartattack this morning with the Ospreys in Scotland,, they played a re-run of an intruder and Angus fending it off, boy what a fight.
Suzanne pet listen to this,,did you know that the young bird Isla arrived with and mated with was her SON,, he is about 14 years old,, if you read all the " NEWS" updates all the stories are there..
I didn't know incest was the thing !!!! They also think that there is no chance at all that he can be the daddy,, it's deff Angus.
I just get vertigo at the very though of it,,, they really know how to make you sweat don't they,,but you have to admit Peregrines are really beautiful bird to look at though.
GOOD MORNING SUZ, CHRISSY, DAVE AND NORMA... Our babies are standing around the edges of the nest like guards on duty. They look so disciplained and patient, but when food comes, they fall apart and go crazy!LOL
Oh, Chrissy, if you get vertigo, I'll have to send you an email of a walkway around very high Mountain. You may want to turn it off after a minute or so...
ofcourse manners go right out the window when food arrives,, have you seen a group of kids at a children birthday party wgen all the cakes and biccies are put on the table !!!!!
Did you see the photos Anne-Marie sent,, the water pools that fall in tiers [natural] the lokk so beautiful but I wouldnt want to look down from the very top one.
I walked over a road bridge a while ago,, and very fast moving traffic passed under it,,I didn't think I was scared of anything like that but I just froze and my legs wouldn't do as they were told,, Nothing has ever happened to me like that before,, I think it was the noise of the traffic, it was like thunder,,and I don't ever want to do it again.
MORNIN' CHRISSY & WANDA!---CHRISSY you sound better this am---Hope you are feeling better too!!!---It is a GLORIOUS DAY here today!---SUNSHINE certainly lifts one's SPIRITS!!---
Good morning everyone. Just getting ready to start work and watching Scotland and our babies this morning. Still just saw 1 baby in Scotland this morning.

Go on,,Go on,, say it,,, at this time of the day,, still in your nighty,,,,

love and hugs Chrissy XXXXXXXXXX
PS,, I can on just to see if Isla had got another chick over night,, and been here all morning,, time seems to pass so quickly when your on here doesn't it,, you think you have been on an hour and 4 have passed.
Chrissy, what Frank doesn't know won't hurt him!LOL You are so right about 1hr turning into 4 so quickly. What a wonderful way to pass time, if you don't have anything else to do. Will that time ever come? Don't think so!
Good morning all. Sun is shining. I am missing a good buddy and will continue to miss her. The day will go uphill from here I am sure. ((((((Eyes to the sky see the raptors fly.))))))
I can't keep my eyes off the Ospreys,, unfortunately there will only be 3 chicks this year,,well I hope so..
right I better go take my pills and drug up,,,
Take something for my head,,,, do you all think a transplant would help,,, never heard of a head one,,,,, anythings got to be better than the one I have.
OOOOOOOOOOO one very big rabbit just delivered in Scotland,, blimey it was still moving,,yuk,,,,,,
and that little one has it all to him.herself too
Wont be long,,I'll be back later on when I've turned into a human again..
Hi all; Yesterday when i went and checked on the eagles they had just been fed and then settled in for a nap.They seem to all get along and share the food and are all about the same size.The wind was a little strong and i was taking a photo of them when guess what? a poop-shoot and i just knew i had a shot of it but with the wind and the movement of the tree and leaves the shot was blerd (oh nuts it was not clear).I am going to spend more time watching them and seeing them flap there wings to build there wing mussels,it will be neat to them take turns.I say a prayer each night that god keeps watch over them. I hope that everyone has a great eagle day.
CAROL---Listening to NPR this am--THOMAS from Pendleton Co.--speaking against WIND POWER!!---Guess nothing has been decided in your county!!----Have MISSED seeing you on the blog!!!---Bet it is beautiful in PENDLETON!---All this rain has everything blooming!!
Helen you going to see my darling Mei and little gobbo today ????
I'm so so jelious,, I wish above everything else I could see Mei,, they don't seem to have her cam up today,,I've tried and tried,, but it just says"CAM OFFLINE",,,,I know she is preggers but I wonder what they are doing to her...
Horrible wasn't it Sharon,,,but I'm sure Isla knows when she has a dud,, she is so cleaver isn't she,,,did any of you see the attack ??????
I'll put you in my prayers to Glo,,I don't know why,,,, although I say a prayer every night for all eagle momsters and dadsters.
LOVELY big fish just arrivedat the Ospreys,, blimey they eat well,, rabbits, pigeons and fish,,,Takl about meat,, where the 2 veg ???? That chick is a little piggy,,,,
She has been in the birthing den taking in nesting material and shredding bamboo stalks in there too,, and she is sleeping alot more than usual and she has gone off her carrots as well, which she usually loves,,,, She was doing all this when she was carrying Gobbo. But I'm only guessing,,,putting 2 & 2 together and hoping I'm not making 5.
I always live in hopes Helen pet. and I've worked out the possible due date would be,,if she is,, to be the 7th of July.
Chrissy (shel'll probably be gone by the time I get this wrote) it is always good hearing from you and reading your comments ( : Take care of your health.
Norma enjoy you study group. I miss having one in my home. Wanda on Faulkner we had a study group in that side..neat huh.
Yes had cervical shot...takes care of neck movement, shoulders, arms to fingers. Have to be carefull 48 hrs. of movement, lifting, bending etc. Last shot lasted a year. I pray this one does too. I go toward end of June for the spinal shot.
Chrissy, these are the same actions of a false-preganancy also, she did the exact same thing last year and did not deliver, even the hormones last year looked good, they will try to takes sonograms, which she loves to have, because she loves the gel on her tummy, but sometimes she just flat out refuses. Zoo will let us know if they find out, otherwise it will not be til the birth, like when Tai was born
exactly, Sharon....they have that video running in the panda house, and you would be surprised how many people have never seen it, and they are amazed....think it is the reason he is a little loopy:)
CHRISSY!!---I can surely feel your PAIN!!----I get BRONCHITIS too often---it is horrible---but mind the Dr.---it can turn into pneumonia in a min.!!---HEY GAL!---Get well soon!!----DON'T LOSE THAT SENSE OF HUMOR-!!--You light up our BLOG every time you click on!!!!---LOVE YOUR COOKIN' TOO!!-
NORMA, Chrissy hasn't cooked for us in a while...it is about time for another meal. Athenaa also, has not fixed us breakfast in a while. Those two gals are slipping!
Well folks my loss is ALL of our loss...check your emails. So the one to keep in prayers and perhaps send pictures too etc is the one who always says "Eyes to the sky see the raptors fly" I will miss her blogging tremendously!!!!! She has been such a good pal to me and all of us.
CURSES!!---CURSES!!---If I knew where to go---I would go PICKET!!-----I know I just said the other day --- It feels like something is missing without "GYPSY'S" MOMMA!!-- WHAT WILL WE DO??????
DON'T FORGET THE BANDING TOMORROWThe next big event associated with the Rachel Carson falcon family will be the banding of the eyases; all four seem healthy and are developing normally. The banding event will be live Webcast and 150 students and their teachers will witness the proceedings in the Rachel Carson State Office Building auditorium. The event takes place on May 22nd at 1 PM. Those who are interested in endangered species management and biodiversity education are invited to visit the DEP Website and watch as the young birds are assigned the alpha numeric codes that will stay with them the rest of their lives.
Blimey!!!Blogger ate my words! Good Morning Everyone in Eagle/Bird/Animal Land!! Glad to see PH babes are being cared for medically.Hope to see about NBG baby's biopsy on TH (my day off).Think WVEC is supposed to have a live report then.9 AM? Good to see you, Chrissy, here. Take care of that bronchitis. Going to the lovely job w/"banker's hours". The goslings there are growing like weeds! Hope to do camera soon. BBL

It is still a Good Morning! Just made it though. I was reading the blog before emails but got so confused with the comments concerning our morning commentator that I rushed over to emails & thank goodness the explanation was there waiting for me to read. I need to remember NOT to send emails to that address. I think I best plan a trip up the road and clean up that spare room & hook up that personal computer!
Wow--can get online here at workb today! Didn't want to miss saying "Happy Trip" to Mits. Good you didn't go near OC last week---was old car week. We used to take one of our muscle cars every year, but hubby got sick of waiting in line to get out of parking lot. Chuckle along w/the laughing gulls. Back to work......
Wonderful piece on the CBS Morning Show today about Beauty, the Idaho eagle who was given a prosthetic beak. What a great story!! And now just heard that singer/songwriter James Taylor is involving himself w/ a songbird habitat initiative on our great Eastern Shore!
Just found out that Andrew made the Dean's list this semester at Concord. His GPA is 3.62 - 2 B's and 7 A's. A's are in the music classes and B's are in English and Political Science!
Contragulations Andrew for making the Dean's List and PROUD MOM (Sharon) ( :
Good afternoon HViller
Ty Deb for picture of IWS Sky and Spirit. God Love Their Hearts...
Ty Jo where Anne sent about bluebirds 1st egg laid WW. I see her in nest now with egg. Yes those swallows are something else. They came after my bluebirds. Still waiting and watching for mine to fledge anytime.
Rain surely does appear to be blowing in!! Wish those eaglets would take it a little bit easier on my heart! They love flapping those wings in the wind but I keep waiting for one to go overboard!
REALLY BIG gusts coming, and No. 1 quit eating long enough to stretch her wings and get some loft with them. Her wings seem to stretch the whole length of the nest.
Tomorrow, Thurs, is when the NBG eaglet will be removed from the nest to have the growth on his beak taken care of.... Will be interesting to see how the adults react to this.....
A few days ago, a growth was seen on the eaglet's bill. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries wildlife veterinarian wants to take a closer look to determine the type of growth. So, on Thursday morning, a local tree climber will retrieve the eaglet from the nest.
Join the retrieval online starting at 9 a.m.
An NBG representative will narrate the online chat forum hosted by WVEC.com.
The growth was first noted by a local photographer and by a researcher from William & Mary Center for Conservation Biology on the 16th of May. The growth, located on the left side of the upper mandible, has grown quickly and is now quite visible. A growth such as this generally indicates a diagnosis of Avian Pox, although this cannot be confirmed without examination and further diagnostics (such as a biopsy).
I sure do wish these brats would hunker down just a little bit instead of continually giving me a heart attack with these wing flaps and the wind gusting!
I ran across these pictures of the two PH chicks with Dr. Sharpe being examined by the vet on the mainland. I Don't know if you've seen them already or not.
Have a great trip Helen,,ENJOY and have loads of fun.
Sorry I'm late in getting back on,, but I've had visitors over for the afternoon...
Anything spectacular happen while I was otherwise occupied ????
Drugs kicked in about 4pm my time,, 11am your time and 8am Jims time.
Hope you got a good rest Jim..
I've had the sound off at The Ospreys in Scotland, so don't know whats gone on there this afternoon.
Just read all the posts and it's taken me ages.
Can someone tell me how to look at the E-Mails please,, it might sound daft,, but I've never done it, I wish I knew how everything worked on this computer,, or perhaps it's just me being a novice !!!
Chrissy are you asking how do you get to see your mail? You are joking or is it the drugs???? Honey you have gotten emails from me and replied back before???????
your so right,, just forget I asked,, I think I'm on a downward slide,, it has to be the drugs,,, either that or I need a drink,,,, I've been doing the oddest of things all day,,
Do you know I've typed post here,, and I know what I've typed in my head,, but when I've read it back to myself,, its all been gobbilbygook,,, HELP !!!!! I need a holiday,,, I need something,,, any answers,, fill out the questionair below,, and I'll get back to you,,,, Hope that makes you all laugh..
sorry again pet,, brains gone south for the summer I think.
Whoo Hoo Chrissy - you go SOUTH for the WINTER here! How you doing gal? Hope that bronchitis soon leaves you or you'll be running around like me hooked up to the oxygen hose! Coughing can make your ribs ache!
Dana - are you now typing with 2 hands? Good for you if you are!!
Ally is here with me (3yr old) & she tells me she is going to "her" room (really the toy room) and since she is only here like once a week - she finds all her favorites and is a busy little miss!!!
Nope only the brain travels pet,, sorry to say the body says here in Worcester,, I know about ribs too,, mine feel as if they have shattered,, but it's the cat fur I've seemed to have swallowed that I can't get rid of,,and the cough medicine won't shift it either. I think I need a good de-cokeing,, get rid of all the soot and grime,, the drugs help,, well at least they make the day fuzzy enough to allow me to live in a haze,, for now,, till they run out,, then i suppose it's the downwards slide to the withdrawls!!! I hope you can feel better soon pet,, is it perminant that you are on the oxygen ????
Do you know something pet,,,, I have often wondered if you all understand my Engilsh humour,,i know the spelling is different, you spell it"humor" and "color", we spell colour, same with "theater", we spell theatre and so on. Same language but it's different !!!
Bless you Paula,, you are a card,,[ making me laugh]
please tell me what ROFLMAO is please,, I'm a dunce and still don't know all the shorthand,, I bet it's simple and I should know it,, but I have trouble talking to myself,, so talking to others is is damn near an impossibility.
Good grief,, what is up with Isla now,, at this time of night 10-25pm she should be asleep and not shouting her head off,, I wonder if Angus has earmuffs for the night shift ????
Like all toddlers, Ally will have an old head on young shoulders,,, I bet she is a darling though,, the light of your life,,
When Gill's [girlfriend] daughter was that age [Alix] she was fantastic when I looked after her,, she would help me bake and do the house work,, she would bring her own little pink hoover and help me. THEN she would go home and tell mummy all about her day with me,, once she said to Gill," Mummy,, why don't you let me bake with you", boy I've never lived that one down, but I love watching kids have fun, and Alix even now loves coming here she is now 19 years old and at University, I get a phone call now and then asking if I've baked her favorite Choccie biccies, and would I please send her a batch. Kids,, arn't they just a wonderful Blessing.
Thats wonderful,, must remember that one,, your being very ladylike not saying the "A" word,,,mind you we dont use it over here we use the full version,,and a lot worse too.. but then I'm trying to be a Lady too,,,yeh right !!!
But Butt over here is someting completly different,, a "BUTT", is the filter end of a spent ciggarette, I darn't post our "A" word on here !!!
Right I'm going to go to bed now,, if I can find the stairs,, I might even put my nighty on inside out if i can find that as well,, failing everything else,, I'll go "Comando",, [naked] can I say that on here??? OH well never mind,, I think I just did.
Night one and all,, sleep tight,,I know I will, if the coughing doesn't get to me first.

Hi all; Yesterday when i went and
checked on the eagles they had just
been fed and then settled in for a
nap.They seem to all get along and
share the food and are all about
the same size.The wind was a little
strong and i was taking a photo of
them when guess what? a poop-shoot
and i just knew i had a shot of it
but with the wind and the movement
of the tree and leaves the shot
was blerd (oh nuts it was not clear).I am going to spend more
time watching them and seeing them
flap there wings to build there
wing mussels,it will be neat to
them take turns.I say a prayer each
night that god keeps watch over
them.
I hope that everyone has a great
eagle day.

UPDATE ON LISA'S EAGLETS
Nest Update
05/21/08:
We're seeing an empty nest on occasion, which makes us think Intrepid might be flying and Destiny might be at least branching
GOOD LUCK BWE EAGLES!!!!
DON'T FORGET THE BANDING TOMORROWThe next big event associated with the Rachel Carson falcon family will be the banding of the eyases; all four seem healthy and are developing normally. The banding event will be live Webcast and 150 students and their teachers will witness the proceedings in the Rachel Carson State Office Building auditorium. The event takes place on May 22nd at 1 PM. Those who are interested in endangered species management and biodiversity education are invited to visit the DEP Website and watch as the young birds are assigned the alpha numeric codes that will stay with them the rest of their lives.
Here's a link to a news story with video about the PH eaglets. Click on the link for the video from sister station KNBC.

I was just thinking, after watching the video about PH, does one of our parents still stay in the tree above our nest?
it doesn't sound like they are there all the time...
PH was lucky, they have a cam and people were watching....I think of ALL the nests and birds and animals that are not so lucky.
Good morning, everyone. Another beautiful morning here. I will also be missing our early morning blogger.
off to get a shower and finish packing car...later
Paula, I have not had a chance to look , but have adults been back to PH on a regular basis?
Good Morning Paula, Deb and Nature.
Paula ty for the video.
Mits ty for the update on BW eaglets and the reminder on Rachel Carson falcons banding. Say hello to the dolphins for me ( :
K10 visited twice yesterday...He was eating there last night....and same yesterday morning....K26 was there twice the day of the attack after the eaglets were gone....
I can't wait to see the dolphins, Dana:)
thanks, Paula

FINNEY'S SITE IS ONLINE AGAIN:)
Where do you click to get the cam at Finland? Haven't mastered Finnish yet!
It is still a Good Morning! Just made it though. I was reading the blog before emails but got so confused with the comments concerning our morning commentator that I rushed over to emails & thank goodness the explanation was there waiting for me to read. I need to remember NOT to send emails to that address. I think I best plan a trip up the road and clean up that spare room & hook up that personal computer!
OSPREY FLYING IN WITH FOOD, TO FINNY'S NEST....WOW....
Mema Jo, I think that is a wonderful idea! :)
SHARON YOU HAVE MAIL:).....JO, what a great idea!!!!!!
Is Finney's nest the one with the trees in the background?
yes, Deb, that is an artificial nest, and sometimes you see Moose walking around under it.....
I thought it was, but I did't have an Osprey with food flying in. I have an osprey sitting on eggs.
Saaksi 2008 Finny
This is the one we watched last season

This is the new one found this season with the Ferry

Thanks, Jo, those are the two I have open.
Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash.....where ever you are:):):)
Parent with fish!!
Looks like Lib!
He's not sticking around to feed them....he's gone!
You don't have to be in the room to know when food arrives!
Wow--can get online here at workb today!
Didn't want to miss saying "Happy Trip" to Mits.
Good you didn't go near OC last week---was old car week. We used to take one of our muscle cars every year, but hubby got sick of waiting in line to get out of parking lot.
Chuckle along w/the laughing gulls.
Back to work......
Good Afternoon JO ( :
2 cute osprey chicks in CT nest
bbl
Wonderful piece on the CBS Morning Show today about Beauty, the Idaho eagle who was given a prosthetic beak. What a great story!!
And now just heard that singer/songwriter James Taylor is involving himself w/ a songbird habitat initiative on our great Eastern Shore!
That was some kind of a good looking fish! Paula was right, Gene should have stayed at home a tailed Lib & Belle. No more Fish Camp for him!
Awww, eaglet let the other one have the fish :)
Finland nest mom is sure jumpy today....L)
somebody is not SHARING!!!!
Hi Dana - Really good to have you here with us - Surely hope the shot is taking its effect and will last a long long time!
Deb - love you eagle pic
Time for P & J lunch
SUNSHINE is beautiful - Guess it's time to mow!!!
BBL
Helen, I hope you have beautiful weather this holiday weekend (us too, for that matter!) :0)
Might be a little chilly, but think the sun will be out, and we can take the girls to the beach....
Annmarie has confirmed the WW BLUEBIRD HAS LAID AN EGG....
Anne Marie just sent picture out of the Wild Watch Bluebird nest!
The 1st egg has arrived!
She is in the nest now.
WildWatch Bluebird Nest
Let's hope the swallows stay away!!!
Oh No!! Just saw goose family and only TWO chicks, not 6! Doubt if it's another family but will watch all day. :>(
nasty day at PH..
I am probably behind time but here is the link for the news broadcast concerning PH eaglets - Dr Sharpe is being interviewed.
http://video.knbc.com/player/?id=254075
There are a couple of pictures of Skye and Spirit on the IWS site:
IWS update
Thanks Deb
Dr Sharpe is right there and like it was said "if it weren't for the Web Cam viewers those 2 eaglets would not be here alive and getting help today"
Just found out that Andrew made the Dean's list this semester at Concord. His GPA is 3.62 - 2 B's and 7 A's. A's are in the music classes and B's are in English and Political Science!
Hey Sharon...isn't it cool when they make the Dean's List? Really makes you feel proud! :)
WHOO HOO FOR ANDREW!
AND FOR HIS PROUD MOTHER
I WILL BBL...........
Need some sunshine......
Congratulations, Andrew! That is a great accomplishment. Pat on the back, Sharon, proud Mom.
BOOYAH, FOR ANDREW!!!!!...AND MOM
Thank you, thank you very much!!!
A sigh of relif!!! Just saw our goose family w/SIX chicks!
Think the 2 goslings of other family are smaller.
Sharon, Congrats to you & your son!
That's so hard to do in college!
Contragulations Andrew for making the Dean's List and PROUD MOM (Sharon) ( :
Good afternoon HViller
Ty Deb for picture of IWS Sky and Spirit. God Love Their Hearts...
Ty Jo where Anne sent about bluebirds 1st egg laid WW. I see her in nest now with egg. Yes those swallows are something else. They came after my bluebirds. Still waiting and watching for mine to fledge anytime.
Rain may be heading to our nest very soon...
GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY...
I've just been watching No. 1 hog a large fish and, at the same time, No. 3 getting some good wing-ercise in the big wind gusts.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
LOL...she almost left the nest that time! Up, Up, and Away!
Rain surely does appear to be blowing in!! Wish those eaglets would take it a little bit easier on my heart! They love flapping those wings in the wind but I keep waiting for one to go overboard!
No. 3 is getting some real loft ... 2-3 feet on the strong gusts, and he's giving No. 2 fits when he lands on his brother's head!
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Rain is here now, Dana.
Yes seen that Jim
Wanda it is raining here too
Did either of the other two eaglets get any of that hugh fish?
REALLY BIG gusts coming, and No. 1 quit eating long enough to stretch her wings and get some loft with them. Her wings seem to stretch the whole length of the nest.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
I don't think the others got any, Candy, but she's left the head for them ... the soul of generosity.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
Destiny, I guess it is, at BWE is also doing some in-nest flying now.
C(°ï®¡°)D
Jim
OK, TTUL...if I can get on the computer:)
Adult in our nest.......
Safe journey Helen
Hope this rain that just came over the mountain doesn't follow you to the beach!
Looks as though our adult Took Charge
and has all of them up in the Chow Line! lol
Pearl should be full! I see only one chick is eating right now.
The 3 herons are out growing their nest. Only room for 2 to comfortably lie down......other one is standing.
Tomorrow, Thurs, is when the NBG eaglet will be removed from the nest to have the growth on his beak taken care of.... Will be interesting to see how the adults react to this.....
Falcons - SanJose falcons between the wall & nest box for shade
PA - These 4 have grown really large since I last looked in on them. They are all hanging out in the nest box.
Just got this in my email -
A DGIF wildlife vet will examine the eaglet.
Don't miss the action Thursday morning, May 22.
A few days ago, a growth was seen on the eaglet's bill. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries wildlife veterinarian wants to take a closer look to determine the type of growth. So, on Thursday morning, a local tree climber will retrieve the eaglet from the nest.
Join the retrieval online starting at 9 a.m.
An NBG representative will narrate the online chat forum hosted by WVEC.com.
The growth was first noted by a local photographer and by a researcher from William & Mary Center for Conservation Biology on the 16th of May. The growth, located on the left side of the upper mandible, has grown quickly and is now quite visible. A growth such as this generally indicates a diagnosis of Avian Pox, although this cannot be confirmed without examination and further diagnostics (such as a biopsy).
I sure do wish these brats would hunker down just a little bit instead of continually giving me a heart attack with these wing flaps and the wind gusting!
And - YES, I CALLED THEM BRATS!
They just love to flap in the wind!!
Their wings are huge now!
For shame - for shame!!!
BRAT: an ill-mannered annoying bird
You know - with brattish behavior!
Like - you're going to fall out of that nest little brat if you don't stop that brattish jumping & flapping around!!!!
lol
Something just flew over them, I thought maybe it was another food delivery, but they just all looked up.
Well, I am really grateful that the brats decided to calm down for a minute!
I hear the gooses flying nearby!
They get a little too up close and personal on this feeding thing in Scotland.
Looks to me like a little hole in the top of one of the eggs, the one closest to the baby.
This baby ospreylet is so precious!
But it will get to be a brat too! :)
Just got phone call & I am out of here to pick up Ally for the evening!
BBL it is Play Time
I ran across these pictures of the two PH chicks with Dr. Sharpe being examined by the vet on the mainland. I Don't know if you've seen them already or not.

Drugs kicked in about 4pm my time,, 11am your time and 8am Jims time.
Hope you got a good rest Jim..
I've had the sound off at The Ospreys in Scotland, so don't know whats gone on there this afternoon.
Just read all the posts and it's taken me ages.
Can someone tell me how to look at the E-Mails please,, it might sound daft,, but I've never done it, I wish I knew how everything worked on this computer,, or perhaps it's just me being a novice !!!
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXX
Chrissy are you asking how do you get to see your mail? You are joking or is it the drugs???? Honey you have gotten emails from me and replied back before???????
Our brats gave me a few minutes' break but they are back at it again, flapping wings in the wind!
Dana pet,
your so right,, just forget I asked,, I think I'm on a downward slide,, it has to be the drugs,,, either that or I need a drink,,,, I've been doing the oddest of things all day,,
Do you know I've typed post here,, and I know what I've typed in my head,, but when I've read it back to myself,, its all been gobbilbygook,,, HELP !!!!!

Chrissy
XXXXXXXXXX
Whoo Hoo Chrissy - you go SOUTH for the WINTER here!
How you doing gal? Hope that bronchitis soon leaves you or you'll be running around like me hooked up to the oxygen hose! Coughing can make your ribs ache!
Dana - are you now typing with 2 hands? Good for you if you are!!
Another rain storm just came over the mountain into our valley! Really coming down...... Anything over your way, Dana - Wanda?
Our guys are wet again!
Ally is here with me (3yr old) & she tells me she is going to "her" room (really the toy room) and since she is only here like once a week - she finds all her favorites and is a busy little miss!!!
BBL
ROFLMAO Chrissy...keep 'em coming.
Take more drugs if you have to :)
Hi Jo,
Nope only the brain travels pet,, sorry to say the body says here in Worcester,,
I know about ribs too,, mine feel as if they have shattered,, but it's the cat fur I've seemed to have swallowed that I can't get rid of,,and the cough medicine won't shift it either.
I think I need a good de-cokeing,, get rid of all the soot and grime,, the drugs help,, well at least they make the day fuzzy enough to allow me to live in a haze,, for now,, till they run out,, then i suppose it's the downwards slide to the withdrawls!!!
I hope you can feel better soon pet,, is it perminant that you are on the oxygen ????
Do you know something pet,,,, I have often wondered if you all understand my Engilsh humour,,i know the spelling is different, you spell it"humor" and "color", we spell colour, same with "theater", we spell theatre and so on.
Same language but it's different !!!
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXXX
Bless you Paula,, you are a card,,[ making me laugh]
please tell me what ROFLMAO is please,, I'm a dunce and still don't know all the shorthand,, I bet it's simple and I should know it,, but I have trouble talking to myself,, so talking to others is is damn near an impossibility.
Good grief,, what is up with Isla now,, at this time of night 10-25pm she should be asleep and not shouting her head off,, I wonder if Angus has earmuffs for the night shift ????
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXX
Hi Jo,
Like all toddlers, Ally will have an old head on young shoulders,,, I bet she is a darling though,, the light of your life,,
When Gill's [girlfriend] daughter was that age [Alix] she was fantastic when I looked after her,, she would help me bake and do the house work,, she would bring her own little pink hoover and help me. THEN she would go home and tell mummy all about her day with me,, once she said to Gill," Mummy,, why don't you let me bake with you", boy I've never lived that one down, but I love watching kids have fun, and Alix even now loves coming here she is now 19 years old and at University, I get a phone call now and then asking if I've baked her favorite Choccie biccies, and would I please send her a batch.
Kids,, arn't they just a wonderful Blessing.
love and hugs
Chrissy
XXXXXXXXX
Chrissy - ROFLMAO means "rolling on the floor laughing my a** off".
You can also say ROFLMBO (b=butt)
