Well, geesh---after I wrote a book! Thanks, Steve and Sharon!
Repeating: Mai has been very good this morning. Taking her nap now. Only one purely accident toe-nail nailing on my hand.....I think my skin is terribly thin!
Gotta relate my early AM woes. Was watching a few minutes of TV before going to bed----felt something hit my foot. Turned on light (which woke up Mai) and found a d--n SB! Don;t know whether it flew or dropped, but I felt like I was targeted!! So Mai indicated she needed out....and what does she do outside at 1AM? Finds a dead bird along the fence. ARGH! Took forever to get it away from her. Then I tried to start dishwasher-----and it WOULDN'T!!! Suspected that waterline was frozen--it's the only one that is laying right against an outside wall. But just tried again anfd it's fine---so maybe I accidently hit the delay button---even tho' it didn't light up that I had.
I had a stink bug on my face yesterday. I could have died.
Going to the ER in a little bit to get my back checked. Feeling a little nauseous and the pain only relieves when I am lying down and I figure I can't staying in the bed so . . .
Oh, Sharon, so sorry!!! Glad you are getting to the hospital. Keep us posted!
21 here and dropping, it is s world of ice here with a slight dusting of snow. This neighborhood is frozen in, no sanding the roads out here.
Watching on the news where they have a camera in a sand truck and they are escorting the GB Packers to the stadium. Nothing like being escorted by police cars and sand trucks!
Glo, you share your birthday with Frank Buckles....a local WWI doughboy....the oldest surviving soldier at 110 today!!! Heard that he was on CNN this AM, but didn't see it. He's been a media sensation for a couple of years. New road between Martinsburg and CharlesTown is named for him.......and he has been active in efforts to restore and enhance WWI memorial in DC. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Mr. Buckles!
wow, and not only is he the oldest surviving WWl vet, he is the last on from the USA...the other 2 are in England and one is a woman...I just had to look him up because I knew there were only a couple of them left. Can't even imagine what that must feel like...
correction, the woman Florence Green who served in the Royal Air Force is in England....Claude Choules who served in the British Royal Navy is in Austrailia.
Wouldn't you just love to be able to spend an afternoon with one of them? The stories they could tell!
Oh, Sharon.....does pain usually make you nauseous? If not, you may well be dealing with a kidney infection. Please keep us posted, and feel better!!! Are you all getting bad weather?? Be careful.
Lolly sounds so strange to hear you talk about low temps, ice, etc. How is Jack's back this morning?
It is my Zach's 5th birthday today. Celebrating at home with his parents, I hope. I can just see them trying to get to work. But, they live in the city and their streets get sanded.
I have a flock of starlings today! First time this season. Funny how some of the birds come and go....I had grackles the other day, but only that day. Then cowbirds for a day. Haven't seen a finch (house or gold) in several weeks except for my little almost blind female house finch and yesterday, in a split second, I saw a goldfinch land, then a male housefinch...and haven't seen them since!
She's probably wondering why she can't move that flugg!!!
Sharon, Jennifer had an SB on her head last week and was so freaked that she woke Carolyn up to get it off her!
Lynne, Mr. Buckles appears to be still of very sound mind---miracle. Wonder about the others?? He was a civilian working in the Phillipines in WWII and was taken POW by the Japs. Bad, I'm sure.
Jack is up and has headed out to sweep away what water is on the patio before it freezes. Hope he gets a fire going soon. He did not mention his back, he seems to be okay.
I've reloaded Java and Adobe still searching for solutions to the hanging up, I do see some improvement... but need to see some Eagles in there to really see if anything I did makes a difference
Sharon ! Prayers for your situation, hope you find out what's going on with your back...
Sounds like Sharon blood pressure is very high in ER.
That is all the comments I've read from bottom up.
Prayers for SHARON
Prayers for anyone that goes out..it is slippery. I know I just went down 3 steps outside. Nothing broken...I'll feel it I'm sure in about an hour and tomorrow for sure.
Donka M - you folks getting a clobbering of snow this morning?
I watched a grat show late last night on Chautauqua...the original one... that's up your way, right ? I would like go go there !! I have a good friend who lives in Ashville NY and works at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown...another place I would like to visit !
Morning Everyone.... I think I've started many times to get on here but phone rings with everyone checking in. Dana Be careful - buy yourself a bag of salt for that porch especially if it is wooden.
Sharon - praying for you and so glad you are where you are for a diagnoses.
Bev Saying prayers for all that are involved with Kailey!
I think we all hope that Red! Hey, y'all in for some weather down there? Looks like the "rain/thunderstorm" part of this monster storm is heading your way.
Our Central MD weather gurus just put out a statement... Foot's Forecast Forecaster Winterman URGENT UPDATE 11:30am 2/1: This statement is not meant for anyone to panic, however at this time the Central MD team is urging all to start preparing for a major ice situation tonight into tomorrow morning, especially in Carroll, Baltimore, and Harford Counties. We expect icing in these areas to be around or exc...eed 0.50 inches which will cause major problems. All other areas in central MD have the potential to receive up to 0.25 inches of ice. This will come in the form of freezing rain starting later tonight through Wednesday morning before transitioning to plain rain by mid morning in most areas. Expect power outages in the areas expecting the heavy icing (northern counties), and expect poor road conditions in most areas for at least a portion if not all of tomorrow's morning rush hour. We will continue to examine all possible threats to go along with this impending storm.
I almost decided to throw away my SB Grave yard (Small cup with detergent water) until last night one came out of nowhere and buzzed me!
Hi Red, My thoughts exactly on the egg laying time. However it is already Feb 1.... Belle is doing very well holding those eggs! BWE eggs could be hatching in little over 2 weeks from now... Still can't get over BWE having 3 eggs!
you know what I have that I LOVE? In a Christmas grab bag thing years ago, I got 2 pairs of "Get a Grip" ice walker things. They strap over the front and back of your shoes or boots and the bottoms are rubber with little studs like golf shoes. PERFECT and work VERY WELL for dealing with ice! And easy to put on and take off.
ALSO....instead of stepping outside with shoes on DANA..for you.. and others needing to step out to take dogs to potty...WEAR SOCKS over your shoes or slippers. They give you better traction on icy surfaces.
Good Morning Magpie. Yes we are getting some of that snow, but not more than 2-3 inches so far. The raods are a little "greasy" at the moment, mostly where the plows have gone through.
About my location here in NY, not near Chautauqua, about 90 miles north of Scranton, PA and 90 south of Syracuse. Binghamton is kinda small, 45,000 population. We have the best of both worlds with city and country settings. We are in a valley, so you can drive 5 minsutes and be in the hilltops with farms and livestock and horse stables, lakes, streams, etc. It's very beautiful here. Jamestown is about 3/12 hours away.
Have a good day Magpie and be careful in this weather. Are you working tonight? On call? Prayers to all the people who have to be out in this weather!!
Hedgie - your early early morning adventures were quite something else... Like Lynne said - I hope some day in the future this will be funny! You have a good hunting dog, I think!!
Dona - Once I stopped in Binghamton on our way to Ft Drum. A small restaurant, Amish I think, is where we ate the most awesome roast beef dinner with gravy on the fries. I would go back if I only knew it's name and exactly where it was. I think it was close to a mall up on a hill.....
Sharon, BP could be up due to PAIN! Hope that's all it is.
Dana, BE CAREFUL!!!! Lynne, I have a pair of grippers that Bill and Frank made me many years ago.....but they don't stay on very well. And won't fit over my mock-ugg boots anyway.
Margy, Carolyn texted me that she and V were going to bed after getting their tummy's full, so guess they fixed a good breakfast!
Christie has not be assigned another service call as of 11-----hoping it stays that way. The company Indianapolis headquarters are shut down. Her dispatcher is working from home. Maybe his phone lines will go down and then she won't have to worry about a call!
Just warnings for ice this evening into morning and through tomorrow eveing.....that doesn't make sense....maybe they don't know if it's goin g to continue through the day Weds. Guess we won't be going to Petsmart puppy school again tomorrow eveing.
Two beautiful eagles in the nest, just looking around at the moment.
Sitting here now in front of a nice fire. We just finished a great breakfast that Jack prepared..two eggs, over easy, bacon, grits, and waffles with Vermont pure maple syrup. Yum! I will not eat anything until tonight.
Donna, some of my granddad's people initially settled in Binghamton when they emigrated from Scotland. His parents, tho', came via Canada. They all ended up in Iowa.
my my, interesting nicknames! I was on the phone earlier with my Aunt Laura, my dad's sis. I have been looking at some old pictures and have sent some to her for ID. Anyway...my dad's people had all kinds of weird nicknames and no one really knows who started calling who what or why. My dad was "Yunk". His brother, "Guf". His older sis, "Murph". Murph's husband was "Sanny" and their son is "Wicky". Aunt Larua's hubby was "Pecky". I never had one...but my friend Barb calls me Trixie.
Sorry Shirley that George isn't feeling well. Hope he gets better very soon.
Lynn2 glad Bro Cat got well. Did Vet give him medicine. Or did it just stop?
Paula prayers have been already sent the day you mentioned about Boo on here. Sure hope the vet has some "Good Answers and not bad". Glad you got your FB account back.
Keep up the prayers LARRY is out of CCU and off the breathing machine. He is awake...still some problems...but he just might survive this attack. LORD WILLINGLY.
As far as Ed's Aunt Anna Mae she is coming home. Will have Hospice in and not doing any more chemo. So it is just when the Lord decides for her to go with HIM. Prayers for 2 daughters, 1 son and a few left brothers and sisters.
Well, MArgy, then maybe it isn't our puters....maybe it's THEM!
All those nicknames are so funny. Sound like English translation to Indian names!!! Lynne, Mai was called Trixie (her mom was Beatrice), but I had a Trixie once, so didn't want to repeat.
Foolish Misty DeerinField is on her way home.......Chollie told her the roads were okay. Lordy, what will she do tonight?? Chollie will get her there.............ARGH!
Lolly, all of that good breakfast has you repeating yourself a LOT!!! Glad that Jack's back is okay.
Sharon's lab work is all good. They have not given her anything for pain yet....they think it's muscular.
Need to coat the steps and put the heavy cover over the ramp.
Wouldn't you know LM (Little Man) wouldn't go on snow covered porch. Just had to go down ramp that is why I uncovered it. Later when went out he wouldn't go down ramp grr went on snow covered porch.
I'm taking a pain pill Oh Lordy and going to lie down before I can't stand and I fall or trip my ownself wobbling here.
I do have to say about GG....she sure can work up a storm doing things.
The Momma says they only have about 4 new inches so far.....calling now for 22". She refused to go to my sisters'. Hope the power stays on for her.....she has no alternate heat source as she had gas fireplace removed because she couldn't tolerate the odor. Says "I have plenty of blankets"---well, I'm not sure that is enough for a 91 y.o. if indoor temps drop into 40's like they did around DC last week.
Yes Margie, Owego is about a 20 minute drive from Binghamton. They were voted "The Coolest, Little Small Town In America". It's very unique with the Victorian style houses and lots of interesting shops and boutiques. They have a great Strawberry Festival every July and it's a nice little town.
Mema Jo, I'm thinking the restaurant you might have ate at was the "Deacon's Bench". Up on the hill right outside of Binghamton, by the Oakdale Mall.
So I just went home for lunch and my honey, John was still shoveling snow. He started this morning, took a break to go inside and do some paperwork. Then a little after 11:30 went back out to shovel some more (we have a long driveway and a large apron in front of our garage). He looked like he was pooped!! I watched a little of the Weather Channel and they said they are still unsure of how much ice/sleet tonight, but said 8-12 inches of snow. So I'm thinking we'll have to ask my brother to come over with his snowblower. I don't want John puttin his back out, or worse. So everyone, stay safe, be smart and this too will pass. Amen!!
Hi Paula - I guess you make it safely to work if that is where you are. Keep an eye on the weather - more ice coming our way but temps should be higher tomorrow so hope it doesn't last.
Hedgie, we have a snow blower, but only one and its at John's business (He owns a music store). My brother lives with us, he's got a snow blower that he keeps at a storage unit during the nicer weather and we haven't had the need for it yet this year. I think that's all about to change after seeing John shoveling out our driveway and walkways.
Mema Jo, you are welcome. After I thought about it, there was another type of "Amish style restaurant near the Town Square Mall called "Take a Break". But it probably was the Deacon's Bench because that one IS on a Hill.
have to figure what it is going to do here and when - the weather that is
think I have bitten off more than I can chew in one day, but no Panda Naps because the bed is completely full of Stuff - that has been dusted
Oh, I have some favorite straw-blend kind of something or other Flamingos, Mother and Baby....and of course....thoughts of Norma have come to mind strongly...
I am home with the diagnosis of back pain. They gave me a pain shot and it is already wearing off. They did blood work and a urinalysis but no x-rays or scans. I really wish they would have done a CT scan with all the stuff that could be happening in my belly but . . . I may end up going to Roanoke to get checked if it comes back as bad as it was. Frustrating for sure.
The nausea and diarrhea I am having makes me lean away from just muscular and I would have thought that would have been the case with the doc but I reckon not. Going to lie down again.
Babysitting has been canceled...got the call! Steve still having inventory tonight. Will be watching the weather closely. Not happy about this. I may have to slip on the ice while walking the dogs and need him to come home!
They didn't give me any prescriptions to take home. I have Skelaxin so I guess I will keep taking that. I asked for no pain meds to bring home because I have a monster that wakes up and I don't want to go there unless I absolutely have to.
SHRAON I know what you are talking about (the Monster). Hopefully through us praying and that relaxer it will disapper as if it what never there. ((((((SHARON)))))
and a lot of (( hugs ♥ )) and a strong recommendation to go for that second opinion as soon as you get the inkling you need to... Wish I was closer to where you live !!!!! God Bless You, and the prayers continue... Get some rest !
Lynne - don't be foolhardy with getting those dogs out, I am not sure we can handle any more falls or injuries amongst us ! Well, I know we WILL handle it but let's not push the envelope !
okay, time to run the vaccuum now that I have knocked so much dust off everthing, in just one room :(
Hi, Everyone, This Good Morning is so late, it's a Good Afternoon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GLO! Hope you have a nice day with Dex!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Zach, too! Wow, 5 years old!
Saying prayers for Sharon and Dana! Sure hoping for a better report later!
Lynn, glad that Mai was behaving better toward you this morning! Hope that keeps up!
Prayers for Shirley and Judie, and all those who have to go out in that mess back there! Heard on the news this morning that we are to expect STRONG Santa Ana winds in SoCal tomorrow--and for a couple of days. They say they'll be up to 75 mph winds! YIKES! Need rocks in our pockets, for sure!
Well, have lots of homework to do online, so better get busy. Will check in later. Have a good afternoon and evening! :o]
Lynne, better tell not a fib....it might come back to bite you or Steve in the arse, if you get my drift!!
Sharon, agree that diarrhea should not have ANYTHING to do with muscles.....unless any of the meds have caused it. Wise not to accept or request any narcotics.......you have worked TOO hard to let them get you in their grasp again unless things become very dire. Considering your abdominal history, they SHOULD have AT THE VERY LEAST done a flat-plate abdomen x-ray. Shame on them. Do you have a regular doctor in Roanoke who could just call in an order for a CT scan??? Praying for you big time.
Margy, love collectibles, but oh, the dusting is such a pain. Told Jo when she was here not to look at my frogs too closely....they had not gotten their fall dusting!! I do it with a damp rag and it not only takes a while but it's hard to get them all to fit back on the shelf!!!
Hi, Jim!!! How's tricks? What is your weather like?? Did you see my post yesterday about the eagle that has been visiting the Orange County Zoo female Olivia????? Go visit!!!
lol Lynne - it looks as though Lynn and I are of the old school when it comes to joking around and thinking that it usually comes back to haunt you!! I am even hesitant to write some event down on my calendar (b-days & Open House excluded) for fear that they just won't happen... I have proof of that one!
Oh! remember we have the Stink Bug Convention coming up on the 9th - drat, I am still not sure of my work schedule... but I figure most of the rest of you know what YOUR schedules are...
Yes, Jo...I think it could be YOU ☺ over there in the Valley
one would think I have a long-haired dog or cat living here, make that a long-feathered Magpie! \Just cleaned out the roller thingy with the brush on the bottom of th machine, oh let's NOT talk about that ! :(
I keep checking the nest 'cause then I yell BREAK !
I have been very frustrated in my efforts to do research homework online--my printer is NOT cooperating! Prints only the date at the top, and a footer at the bottom of the page, but nothing in-between! If I contact Epson about it, they charge $10 to answer your first question! Argggh!
I have something more important than that on my mind, though. I got an e-mail from Danielle, my English class friend. She was not in class again last night. Her breast cancer is back--she has 2 small spots in one breast. Her doctor wants her to do 6 weeks of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation. She is dropping out of school for now. Please say some prayers for her--she has a very positive attitude, but I'm sure would appreciate the support. Thanks so much, everyone! Her 3-year-old son, Colin, is feeling better--he just had a very bad asthma attack a week ago. Her husband is back to work now, and doing well.

OH LYNN.....LMAO!!! Sorry :( I'm sure this will (hopefully) all seem funny later on....
I'm telling you, the SB thing is beyond disturbing. They fly around in the night and I've been dive bombed a few times.
I had a stink bug on my face yesterday. I could have died.
Going to the ER in a little bit to get my back checked. Feeling a little nauseous and the pain only relieves when I am lying down and I figure I can't staying in the bed so . . .

Wouldn't you just love to be able to spend an afternoon with one of them? The stories they could tell!
Lolly, be careful if you go outside.
Claude Choules also served in WW2
Oh, Sharon.....does pain usually make you nauseous? If not, you may well be dealing with a kidney infection. Please keep us posted, and feel better!!! Are you all getting bad weather?? Be careful.
Lolly sounds so strange to hear you talk about low temps, ice, etc. How is Jack's back this morning?
I am NOT going outside! Do not know if there is a paper down there or not, but I am leaving it for Jack. He is still hibernating!☺
Have not seen an eagle in the nest since I got on. Where are they?
It is my Zach's 5th birthday today. Celebrating at home with his parents, I hope. I can just see them trying to get to work. But, they live in the city and their streets get sanded.
Ahhh, there's an eagle!
I have a flock of starlings today! First time this season. Funny how some of the birds come and go....I had grackles the other day, but only that day. Then cowbirds for a day. Haven't seen a finch (house or gold) in several weeks except for my little almost blind female house finch and yesterday, in a split second, I saw a goldfinch land, then a male housefinch...and haven't seen them since!
Cam shut down.....weird. It usually plays alot longer than that.
Eagle in nest!!
Happy Birthday to Zach!
Eagle!
The cam picture looks SO much better to me for some reason than it did in the beginning. You can really see a lot of detail!
well that was brief!
She's probably wondering why she can't move that flugg!!!
Sharon, Jennifer had an SB on her head last week and was so freaked that she woke Carolyn up to get it off her!
Lynne, Mr. Buckles appears to be still of very sound mind---miracle. Wonder about the others??
He was a civilian working in the Phillipines in WWII and was taken POW by the Japs. Bad, I'm sure.
both at NBG
Watching tv and the cameras out on the highways. They look like bumper cars out there. Glad I do not have to go out!
that's amazing Lynn...I know one Steve Soper who would love to meet him!
Jack is up and has headed out to sweep away what water is on the patio before it freezes. Hope he gets a fire going soon. He did not mention his back, he seems to be okay.
Happy February !
Happy Birthday Glo ☺ on the New Thread - Enjoy your special day, which makes it special for US too ! xoxo ♥ ☺
chicks at NC, all alone now surrounded by some brown leaves look like maples
xox
plopped out at that...at NC -
I, too, have limited success with that but enjoy what I CAN see when I can...all pixillated often for me too
glad to read Carolyn has safe haven here locally, Lynn..
and her hostess cooks like a Master Chef-ette

Love those big "paws" on those eaglets

Woof, sorry to read that Shirley had to go to school, and Judie also...
Hope the road and sidewalk surfaces treat them kindly
and anyone else having to deal with that.
Lolly, what weather ! Geeze ! You are like one of us !
OH yeah Lynne!
Awesome, NBG
Doesn't make you just want to reach out and touch him?
REALLY not happy about Judie and Shirley going out...hopefully they didn't have any trouble and will get home before "round 2" starts this evening....
got live feed NCTC back up here
I see that pussywillow bud at about 5:30 position, also looks like a peanut !

Best wishes for a Good Day, everyone

Yea, have a paper. Jack went and got it, said the road is terrible!
BBL

Sharon !
Prayers for your situation, hope you find out what's going on with your back...
(( hugs to you and your chauffeur ♥ ))
ttfn
Eagle!!
I am in the ER on my iPod. Blood pressure is out the roof but haven't seen a doc yet. Will let you know. Prayers please. Love you all.

Love you, Sharon! (((hugs)))
Good snowy morning all!
Hi Donna...we aren't having much "eagle action" this morning so far...
Lolly
Pardon my poor manners:
Happy 5th Birthday Wishes to your dear grandson Zach !
His Half a Decade Birthday ☺
He joins the ranks of some great people, being born on this day
xoxo to Zach ☺ ♥
Morning to all in eagleland.
Sounds like Sharon blood pressure is very high in ER.
That is all the comments I've read from bottom up.
Prayers for SHARON
Prayers for anyone that goes out..it is slippery. I know I just went down 3 steps outside. Nothing broken...I'll feel it I'm sure in about an hour and tomorrow for sure.
G'Morning More Eagle Friends...
Donka M
- you folks getting a clobbering of snow this morning?
I watched a grat show late last night on Chautauqua...the original one...
that's up your way, right ?
I would like go go there !!
I have a good friend who lives in Ashville NY and works at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown...another place I would like to visit !
Sun ☼ is working its way through the clouds hereabouts....trying to...
Dana, Sorry about your slip and fall, daggone it !
wondering....haven't heard from Paula and her travels this morning....
Hope you are okay, Paula !
okay I half-a-waxed...back to work
I just sliced my finger OUCH while cutting up some green peppers to freeze for later use...
OH my an eagle, forget work for awhile
I hope she waits till after the storm to start laying eggs.
Morning Everyone.... I think I've started many times to get on here but phone rings with everyone checking in.
Dana Be careful - buy yourself a bag of salt for that porch especially if it is wooden.
Sharon - praying for you and so glad you are where you are for a diagnoses.
Bev Saying prayers for all that are involved with Kailey!
Happy Birthday to a very special lady today. Glo enjoy your chili
I think we all hope that Red! Hey, y'all in for some weather down there? Looks like the "rain/thunderstorm" part of this monster storm is heading your way.
DANA BE CAREFUL!!!! Good grief I hope you are OK!
Happy birthday to Zach! 5years old is a wonderful age!

Hi Red, My thoughts exactly on the egg laying time. However it is already Feb 1.... Belle is doing very well holding those eggs!
BWE eggs could be hatching in little over 2 weeks from now... Still can't get over BWE having 3 eggs!
Our eagle is a beauty.
you know what I have that I LOVE? In a Christmas grab bag thing years ago, I got 2 pairs of "Get a Grip" ice walker things. They strap over the front and back of your shoes or boots and the bottoms are rubber with little studs like golf shoes. PERFECT and work VERY WELL for dealing with ice! And easy to put on and take off.
ALSO....instead of stepping outside with shoes on DANA..for you.. and others needing to step out to take dogs to potty...WEAR SOCKS over your shoes or slippers. They give you better traction on icy surfaces.
I think(?) that is Belle from the looks of the tail feathers..
Good Morning Magpie. Yes we are getting some of that snow, but not more than 2-3 inches so far. The raods are a little "greasy" at the moment, mostly where the plows have gone through.

Hedgie - your early early morning adventures were quite something else...
Like Lynne said - I hope some day in the future this will be funny! You have a good hunting dog, I think!!
I an thinking Belle too, Mema and I just fired up the February picture album
Thanks Donka Marie...okay, understand your location think
Oswego, near Binghamton? I had some friends years ago from up that way, they talked of the snowy weather !
OH MY NOW Two Eagles !
I mean: Donka, Owego !
Dona - Once I stopped in Binghamton on our way to Ft Drum. A small restaurant, Amish I think, is where we ate the most awesome roast beef dinner with gravy on the fries. I would go back if I only knew it's name and exactly where it was. I think it was close to a mall up on a hill.....
Happy Birthday to Lolly's Zack!
Sharon, BP could be up due to PAIN! Hope that's all it is.
Dana, BE CAREFUL!!!!
Lynne, I have a pair of grippers that Bill and Frank made me many years ago.....but they don't stay on very well. And won't fit over my mock-ugg boots anyway.
Margy, Carolyn texted me that she and V were going to bed after getting their tummy's full, so guess they fixed a good breakfast!
I was wondering and was actually going to look at the Feb Album thinking you
may have initiated it! Thanks so much, Margy.
Christie has not be assigned another service call as of 11-----hoping it stays that way. The company Indianapolis headquarters are shut down. Her dispatcher is working from home. Maybe his phone lines will go down and then she won't have to worry about a call!
WetherBug alert just popped up. Let me see what it says...
NO NO NO, Thank YOU, Jo, for keeping all that going !!!
Just warnings for ice this evening into morning and through tomorrow eveing.....that doesn't make sense....maybe they don't know if it's goin g to continue through the day Weds. Guess we won't be going to Petsmart puppy school again tomorrow eveing.
Lynn
I bet they did have a good breakfast, the girls...
that would be Veronica aka Anastasia Beaverhouser
and Carolyn aka Misty DeerInField
☺
HP!
Two beautiful eagles in the nest, just looking around at the moment.
Sitting here now in front of a nice fire. We just finished a great breakfast that Jack prepared..two eggs, over easy, bacon, grits, and waffles with Vermont pure maple syrup. Yum! I will not eat anything until tonight.
Ohhhh, good looooong HP!
allrighty ! Loving in February !
Well, if that does not bring along an egg....nothing will!
He should bring her a big fat fish for that, right, Margy?
on those crazy co-worker names, we also have Arianna Bananahammock, and Billy Mo Goat.
yeah it's a pretty silly but awfully fun bunch I work with on midnights...
Donka...I have a few days off, am NOT working today, or tonight ☺
okay, Uniqueie Eagle Rock, signing off
Hi Megan !
ttfn, all
housework is a'hollering at me !
make that a couple or three big fat fish, Lolly !
forgot to say, Hi to Red earlier...keep coming back Red !
Donna, some of my granddad's people initially settled in Binghamton when they emigrated from Scotland. His parents, tho', came via Canada. They all ended up in Iowa.
after that display, I think I will start my work in the bedroom ☺ ♥
seriously, I mean, dusting and vacuuming, things like that, honest !
Still think the "item" down in front of nest is a pussywillow. Sure miss my p/w tree. :(
nice thing about prayers, one can say them anytime, anywhere....
Sharon got my prayers going for you and all your health care technicians...
Think we have only seen NCTC zoom the cam once, right???
my my, interesting nicknames! I was on the phone earlier with my Aunt Laura, my dad's sis. I have been looking at some old pictures and have sent some to her for ID. Anyway...my dad's people had all kinds of weird nicknames and no one really knows who started calling who what or why. My dad was "Yunk". His brother, "Guf". His older sis, "Murph". Murph's husband was "Sanny" and their son is "Wicky". Aunt Larua's hubby was "Pecky". I never had one...but my friend Barb calls me Trixie.
I've only heard mention of one zoom, Lynn. I missed it. It was quite a while ago.
the NWS will be issuing an Ice Storm Warning for many of us beginning later today.....
Don't understand why my cam keeps timing out..........what a PIA.
Bear den appears peaceful. Don't have earbuds in, but only motion I have seen is breathing movement.
I saw the zoom but it was into the egg cup and there was nothing there! LOL
It is snowing here now, but very dry snow. Wind is something else, wind chill is -3.
And....it was in the 70's few days ago???? Really???

Okay, now I am stuttering! Deleted one comment and had trouble getting back on, not going to delete the other one. Computer was going crazy!!
It is doing it again. Weird!
Hay Lolly did you see the zoom???
Sorry Shirley that George isn't feeling well.
Hope he gets better very soon.
Lynn2 glad Bro Cat got well. Did Vet give him medicine. Or did it just stop?
Paula prayers have been already sent the day you mentioned about Boo on here. Sure hope the vet has some "Good Answers and not
bad". Glad you got your FB account back.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES TO GLO
Do not know for sure what Margy is doing in the bedroom. She sounded a little too persistant!☺
I am going to burn some more CD's. I want to scan more slides but first I need to get a lot off of this computer.
BBL
Trixie, I like that Lynne!!
And all those other names are funny!
My brother John was the King of Nicknames...still is I think....
he is the one, that gave me the nickname Magpie...
Hedgie, my live feed was timing out too....I am still scratching my head on why it is hanging up, did not do that until recently....
:(
once I was called Miggles
Sure glad Wanda and Gene don't have soup kitchen tonight!
had to chuckle earlier when Shirley said one of her students failed to shop up in ISS!!
MIGGLES!!!! I LOVE IT!!! Sounds fun and giggly!
Good grief Lolly...
Keep up the prayers LARRY is out of CCU and off the breathing machine. He is awake...still some problems...but he just might survive this attack. LORD WILLINGLY.
As far as Ed's Aunt Anna Mae she is coming home. Will have Hospice in and not doing any more chemo. So it is just when the Lord decides
for her to go with HIM. Prayers for 2 daughters, 1 son and a few left brothers and sisters.
Well, MArgy, then maybe it isn't our puters....maybe it's THEM!
All those nicknames are so funny. Sound like English translation to Indian names!!!
Lynne, Mai was called Trixie (her mom was Beatrice), but I had a Trixie once, so didn't want to repeat.
Foolish Misty DeerinField is on her way home.......Chollie told her the roads were okay. Lordy, what will she do tonight?? Chollie will get her there.............ARGH!
Lolly, all of that good breakfast has you repeating yourself a LOT!!!
Glad that Jack's back is okay.
Sharon's lab work is all good. They have not given her anything for pain yet....they think it's muscular.
Mine nest keeps timing out too. Maybe the ice.
Need to coat the steps and put the heavy cover over the ramp.
Wouldn't you know LM (Little Man) wouldn't go on snow covered porch. Just had to go down ramp that is why I uncovered it. Later when went out he wouldn't go down ramp grr went on snow covered porch.
I'm taking a pain pill Oh Lordy and going to lie down before I can't stand and I fall or trip my ownself wobbling here.
I do have to say about GG....she sure can work up a storm doing things.
The Momma says they only have about 4 new inches so far.....calling now for 22". She refused to go to my sisters'. Hope the power stays on for her.....she has no alternate heat source as she had gas fireplace removed because she couldn't tolerate the odor. Says "I have plenty of blankets"---well, I'm not sure that is enough for a 91 y.o. if indoor temps drop into 40's like they did around DC last week.
My live feed has been on for 2 hrs..
No time out here - Yet..
Yes Margie, Owego is about a 20 minute drive from Binghamton. They were voted "The Coolest, Little Small Town In America". It's very unique with the Victorian style houses and lots of interesting shops and boutiques. They have a great Strawberry Festival every July and it's a nice little town.
Mema Jo, I'm thinking the restaurant you might have ate at was the "Deacon's Bench". Up on the hill right outside of Binghamton, by the Oakdale Mall.
So I just went home for lunch and my honey, John was still shoveling snow. He started this morning, took a break to go inside and do some paperwork. Then a little after 11:30 went back out to shovel some more (we have a long driveway and a large apron in front of our garage). He looked like he was pooped!! I watched a little of the Weather Channel and they said they are still unsure of how much ice/sleet tonight, but said 8-12 inches of snow. So I'm thinking we'll have to ask my brother to come over with his snowblower. I don't want John puttin his back out, or worse. So everyone, stay safe, be smart and this too will pass. Amen!!
BOTH IN THE NEST
Tree in nest.......!
And Lib is NOT trying to help!
Wish Todd would get a photo of the nest from the side so that we can compare heighth with older pics!!!
Happy Birthday, Glo!!
Glad, but not glad Sharon went to the ER.
Belle playing with sticks, Lib on the back
Donna, maybe John needs his own snowblower!!! Saves the back!!
is she contemplating laying and egg???
Thanks Donna for the name of the restaurant! I think that was the one.
Hi Paula - I guess you make it safely to work if that is where you are.
Keep an eye on the weather - more ice coming our way but temps should be higher tomorrow so hope it doesn't last.
Bear is waking up.
Well, guess not.....just must have lifted head and laid it back down.
Belle?? relaxing.
Poof.
guess not, she poofed
Hedgie, we have a snow blower, but only one and its at John's business (He owns a music store). My brother lives with us, he's got a snow blower that he keeps at a storage unit during the nicer weather and we haven't had the need for it yet this year. I think that's all about to change after seeing John shoveling out our driveway and walkways.
Mema Jo, you are welcome. After I thought about it, there was another type of "Amish style restaurant near the Town Square Mall called "Take a Break". But it probably was the Deacon's Bench because that one IS on a Hill.
wonderful, Paula is with us...
have to figure what it is going to do here and when - the weather that is
think I have bitten off more than I can chew in one day, but no Panda Naps because the bed is completely full of Stuff -
that has been dusted
Oh, I have some favorite straw-blend kind of something or other Flamingos, Mother and Baby....and of course....thoughts of Norma have come to mind strongly...
anyone talked to her anytime lately ?
neat name for a restaurant, The Deacon's Bench
Take a Break is appealing too!
hope that snowblower magically appears soon Donka Marie
pretty good report regarding Sharon, yep, bet muscular could do it....
think I have experienced that in my past !!
waiting to see what Wanda and Gene are up to today...
okay back to work
ttfn
xo
Going to watch a taped Doc Martin that I missed the other night. Some of these TV evening's schedules makes me have to choose one and tape the other.
BBILW
OMG.....just saw a titmouse frantically digging in the leaves where Mai found the Junco corpse. Wonder if he had been cannabalizing it???
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Good Morning, aLL.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
C(°Ù¿°)D Jim
oh nice eagle at BWO platform
Hi Jim !
Hope not Lynn !!
out to the mailbox
and some fresh air
bbl
Just taking a peek in. Have we heard from Sharon yet?
See the nest is empty.
Still 21 and snow flurries. One minute the sun breaks out and the nest minute snow.
I always think it's pretty amazing how so many of the trees are forming buds while winter is still in full gear!
I am home with the diagnosis of back pain. They gave me a pain shot and it is already wearing off. They did blood work and a urinalysis but no x-rays or scans. I really wish they would have done a CT scan with all the stuff that could be happening in my belly but . . . I may end up going to Roanoke to get checked if it comes back as bad as it was. Frustrating for sure.
Lolly, Sharon was diagnosed with "back pain, probably muscular". She got a shot of something for the pain. Blood and urine tests normal.
The nausea and diarrhea I am having makes me lean away from just muscular and I would have thought that would have been the case with the doc but I reckon not. Going to lie down again.
oh HI Sharon! didn't know you were here! What else did they give you and advise for your back?
Hope you feel better....I'm thinking something else is going on too, but hopefully not!
That is interesting that they said that with all the complications. At least they did blood work and urinalysis.
We will keep you in thought and prayers, Sharon.
Back to my disc burning. Ugh!
Babysitting has been canceled...got the call! Steve still having inventory tonight. Will be watching the weather closely. Not happy about this. I may have to slip on the ice while walking the dogs and need him to come home!
Lynne - don't even think about it!
They didn't give me any prescriptions to take home. I have Skelaxin so I guess I will keep taking that. I asked for no pain meds to bring home because I have a monster that wakes up and I don't want to go there unless I absolutely have to.
SHRAON I know what you are talking about (the Monster). Hopefully through us praying and that relaxer it will disapper as if it what never there. ((((((SHARON)))))
I know you've killed that Monster and I pray it will never return.
Stay Strong - Love You! ♥
Short Break
Roast in the Crock Pot and the lid is on tight! NO FEAR
bbilw
I love you! ♥
Me luvs you too SHARON so add me to that list (: You've fought the fight and won it!!! Monster GONE!!
You've done a good job keeping it a bay...under lock and chain.
Sharon
You've got my support too...
and a lot of (( hugs ♥ ))
and a strong recommendation to go for that second opinion
as soon as you get the inkling you need to...
Wish I was closer to where you live !!!!!
God Bless You, and the prayers continue...
Get some rest !
and I'm thinking Nurse Doctor Hedgie will come on with some questions and suggestions well...
as well !
Lynne - don't be foolhardy with getting those dogs out, I am not sure we can handle any more falls or injuries amongst us !
Well, I know we WILL handle it but let's not push the envelope !
okay, time to run the vaccuum now that I have knocked so much dust off everthing, in just one room :(
Got sidetracked. Had to do some rush-rush emailing of some documents for Animal Advocates.
Cam has stayed up this time! But MT nest.
Lots of thawing happening here....31°. Onslaught is supposed to start by 9pm unless forecast has changed.
Hi, Everyone,
This Good Morning is so late, it's a Good Afternoon!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GLO! Hope you have a nice day with Dex!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Zach, too! Wow, 5 years old!
Saying prayers for Sharon and Dana!
Sure hoping for a better report later!
Lynn, glad that Mai was behaving better toward you this morning! Hope that keeps up!
Prayers for Shirley and Judie, and all those who have to go out in that mess back there! Heard on the news this morning that we are to expect STRONG Santa Ana winds in SoCal tomorrow--and for a couple of days. They say they'll be up to 75 mph winds! YIKES! Need rocks in our pockets, for sure!
Well, have lots of homework to do online, so better get busy. Will check in later. Have a good afternoon and evening! :o]
Lynne, better tell not a fib....it might come back to bite you or Steve in the arse, if you get my drift!!
Sharon, agree that diarrhea should not have ANYTHING to do with muscles.....unless any of the meds have caused it. Wise not to accept or request any narcotics.......you have worked TOO hard to let them get you in their grasp again unless things become very dire. Considering your abdominal history, they SHOULD have AT THE VERY LEAST done a flat-plate abdomen x-ray. Shame on them. Do you have a regular doctor in Roanoke who could just call in an order for a CT scan???
Praying for you big time.
Margy, love collectibles, but oh, the dusting is such a pain. Told Jo when she was here not to look at my frogs too closely....they had not gotten their fall dusting!! I do it with a damp rag and it not only takes a while but it's hard to get them all to fit back on the shelf!!!
Donna, hope someone brings home one of those blowers!! What kind of music store does John have? Instruments and such, or albums/CD's???
well I am going to get one more frog to you before too long, Lynn....
hope you can handle "just one more"
xoxo okay,
vaccuum cleaner here I come !
Hi, Jim!!! How's tricks? What is your weather like?? Did you see my post yesterday about the eagle that has been visiting the Orange County Zoo female Olivia????? Go visit!!!
Thanks, Margy----looking forward to it!
OK folks...I was just kidding about the "fall"....wouldn't do it on purpose, not gonna tell fibs!
and our other Frog Pal in Middletown gets the other one !
♥
I have such a good time at the Goodwill store, I can hardly stand it !!! ☺
think I should have gotten a new filter for this vaccuum cleaner !
lol Lynne - it looks as though Lynn and I are of the old school when it comes to joking around and thinking that it usually comes back to haunt you!!
I am even hesitant to write some event down on my calendar (b-days & Open House excluded) for fear that they just won't happen...
I have proof of that one!
I hope Judie and Shirley soon report in
Wow! I live in Middletown
Wow! I collect frogs........ Could
Margy really mean ME?
Goody Goody Goody
Lynn you could take a hair dryer over your shelves of frogs and then maybe
hand wipe less often.
wow Jo...did you really put something on the calendar that didn't happen??
Dinner around 6:00 so I am having a half cup of coffee now.
Then it is Terrific Tuesday TV
Lynne - many of times! Mainly family items of getting together or going somewhere. You should see my 2010 calendar of scribblings.
Oh! remember we have the Stink Bug Convention coming up on the 9th -
drat, I am still not sure of my work schedule...
but I figure most of the rest of you know what YOUR schedules are...
Yes, Jo...I think it could be YOU ☺
over there in the Valley
well, I can see where you'd rather not write stuff down then!
speaking of SBs....it's been a really SB day here. I have eliminated 15 so far. GROOOSSSSSS. Most in the bedroom, a couple in the bathroom.
one would think I have a long-haired dog or cat living here, make that a long-feathered Magpie!
\Just cleaned out the roller thingy with the brush on the bottom of th machine, oh let's NOT talk about that ! :(
I keep checking the nest
'cause then I yell BREAK !
Cam timed out again. :(
Nest is sure looking fluffy and comfy, isn't it? All of that hay/straw/grass is just great!
Happy, happy birthday, Glo! and many more!
Lynn, my nest view times out regulary(sp?) too.
Sharon, hope you feel better soon.
The rest of you guys, be super careful out there.
And to all our puny pets, get better soon.
just in time Suzan:
EAGLE BREAK !!
Chooooo Choooooo
OK What's going on in our nest...???
Shoose - go away--
lol I guess I meant
Shew!!
Hi Suzan
My cam is running 6 hours strong.
I have my live feed on IE not
firefox...... What program do you
have the live feed on that it times out?
I'm thinking that we are going to have a Nester tonight and an egg in the morning no matter what the weather....
I think so too Jo....
It's TIME
was that Liberty?
waiting on Momma ?
going out to round her up maybe
Lynne - I wrote SB on Feb 9
Let's see what happens.....
Going to watch some 5:00 news
BBILW
Eagle Break
That is Belle
She is stomping in the egg cup
If Lib brings in some food - that is a very good sign about egg laying about to start
Is anyone else here with me.....??
Me:) I just opened up the cam page-
There's Lib!
Lots of beaking ▼
Lib came but no food - Not Good
Laughing at them as to who is to
deepen the egg cup... Doesn't look like Belle wants help from Lib
I don't see any food......and that didn't look like loving beaking!
tearing down the crib rails or Lib's perch........
I think they know we're watching lol
Hi, Everyone,
I have been very frustrated in my efforts to do research homework online--my printer is NOT cooperating!
Prints only the date at the top, and a footer at the bottom of the page, but nothing in-between! If I contact Epson about it, they charge $10 to answer your first question! Argggh!
I have something more important than that on my mind, though. I got an e-mail from Danielle, my English class friend. She was not in class again last night. Her breast cancer is back--she has 2 small spots in one breast. Her doctor wants her to do 6 weeks of chemo and 6 weeks of radiation. She is dropping out of school for now. Please say some prayers for her--she has a very positive attitude, but I'm sure would appreciate the support. Thanks so much, everyone! Her 3-year-old son, Colin, is feeling better--he just had a very bad asthma attack a week ago. Her husband is back to work now, and doing well.
Hi Megan Hi Hedgie
OOPS! We are going to SPLIT
wow, I just got to see HP for the first time this season! AND hear it!
