Hedgie hmmm sorry you can't get the cam to open. Works well for me although I don't have it opened right now. Guess I will go see if it has developed a problem. I hope not. I am running on firefox but that shouldn't make a difference.
DUH if you are reading the info then the link did open for you just not the webcam. Hmmm I honestly don't know what to suggest. I think for some browsers there was a plug in you had to allow. Seemed to load for me fine though first time in there.
Hi, Mema Jo, Steve, thanks for the new thread, and Jo, thanks for the call over!
Wanda, my heart goes out to your granddaughter! (...and to you!) I cannot imagine how awful that must have been for her. I am sure she will receive counseling, and surely they will forgive her driving error. She was obviously in shock. Prayers, too, for her friend Matt's wife and child, and the rest of his family and friends. Praying that God will mend their broken hearts, and give them His peace. ((HUGS!!)) :O{
Lynn, the accident that you were commenting on...I was a senior in High School at that time and was good friends with Ginny. The boys were quite popular as was the whole family. The whole high school was in shock for days. We all felt so badly for their Mom.
well sorry. I would be curious to know if folks outside of IL/IA area can get into the cam. I think Stan would want to know too. So if anyone does connect with it would you email me or message me on facebook. I will watch here for comments too but its definitely try to nap time here. Depending on how chatty you are Imight miss your message here.
Yes, it was, Lynn. The mother may have been named Ginny, also. It was the oldest daughter that was my friend. They lived on the curve of Winchester Ave Ext., right across from the Carpet store. I think there is a vet set up there now.
OK thanks folks I am glad you can see the nest. Yes it is a bit wavy. on a 1 sec delay , and only end of first week and beginning of first year for the cam, but the price is right :-) Sorry Lynn that you can't bring in the site. Not sure why.
Did anyone notice how pretty the light is hitting our eagle right now. OK Dex in from his after lunch quick walk. I am going to try to nap some.
:-( well darn sorry its sleet. It is casting a pretty light on her but guess that means its about time for me to close the pop up. Poor birds I just can't enjoy watching them get drenched BUT I DO ADMIRE BOTH of them so very very much indeed.
Got home had some deliveries to make in neighborhood.
Need to catch up on comments.
Did see on comcast news torando's in Alabama and some other places. Prayers for them.
Did see on Rt 901 near hotel across from McDonald's. A truck accident. Don't know how many involved. There was an ambulance, state police, another police vehicle and tow truck. Thank goodness I turned left to come home.
Mai was not very good earlier, Jo. She doesn't know that people think they are voting for a sweetheart! HA! We were playing ball and she attacked me...no open wounds, though.
We are missing graduation....asked for the trainer to call me, but it may not happen until after the class. I know she has other classes over the weekend, so maybe we can go then.
Wanda even for the volunteer firefighters. They give grief counseling too them. So I am sure they will understand about Jillian. Keeping Jllian in prayer, Matt's wife and children and parents and other friends. So sorry this happened to sweet Jillian.
Yes it was a long day. Those new shoes I brought the other day. Tennis shoes the side at the ankle is too high. Has the bone in my ankle where I can hardly walk. Don't know if I can take them back. I sure could use the $50.00 they cost. Thank the Lord I found a pair today at Sears that has a lower cut at the ankle. Reebok this pair is.
Mai did do a good deed this morning! Charlie lost his wire cutters in the leaves and could not find them. Mai did!!! Of course, after 6 days, they are a bit rusted,but hopefully he can get them cleaned up with some WD-40.
Nope Wanda - it is still in Bluefield! But I do have a second large one...to tide me over !!
just observed a nice egg check, but blogging and watching live feed are not campatible tonight ! takes me a minute to even see my own words show up before I can post
Hi, Gang, Dropping back in to say hello before I have to eat dinner and run (no--drive!) to school. Have been really busy doing transcription homework on the computer. Did check in to see one of our eagles doing their best impression of an umbrella earlier. Sure hope they are wrong about the weather report for the nest!
Dana, I totally understand about the new sneakers--my feet are hard to fit, too. Try taking them back--just explain that the problem took a while to show up. Worst they can say is no, but chances are likely that you will get your $$$ back!
Uh oh--dinner is just about ready. Have to run. Will check back in after school tonight! Have a good evening, everyone! :o]
Hi all! Went outside and pulled a few weeds. It is interesting to work down front, people walking stop to talk.
AI tonight and looking forward to it. There is real talent there this year. Just tilted, it is getting lighter at night.
Laurel is getting excited about next week. It is spring break for a lot of school districts. She and the boys are coming here for a few days. Might know...that is the week we are needing to stick very close to the cam.
Lolly, think how excited the boys would be if they could witness the hatching of our eagle's egg! Let them watch as you discover a hole, a crack and a chick:) Tell them you will call them to the 'puter when something NEW happens:) Let Laurel cook dinner so that you can watch til it's all over!
Margy, blog has been slow to post several times for me today, too. And still have intermiitant problems with email from people with Verizon servers. Don't know what that is all about.
Hey, locals.....what goes around, comes around. We are going to be paying our electric bills to Potomac Edison once again! Two companies merge and take back the old name from before the last merger! Funny, huh?
If we get 2-3" of rain... The weather service says the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry, W.Va., could reach 20.2 feet by Saturday morning. The flood stage there is 18 feet.
Not Good!
Lynn-Loretta: Dale Earnhardt Sr.'s Hearse For Sale on eBay
Thanks will try and take the others back. Boy I tell you I didn't know a bone could get that sore. They aren't too tight just too high hitting ankle bone.
Yes, Paula, that is the Osprey cam. Forgot to look for it. Think I have it bookmarked on the other laptop. Now, thanks to you, I have it bookmarked on this one.
LOL Wanda...do not think Laurel has in mind cooking when coming here. She likes to come here and be treated special....do not blame her! She reads a lot and sleeps late while here. I love it!
finally got caught up on reading last Sunday's paper! Found three things of great interest listed: 1) Birding 101 being taught at NCTC by Bob Dean, Matt Orsie, and Wil Hershberger - starts April 7 - four evening classroom sessions, and four half-day Saturday field trips....would I ever like to attend all that with those three ! 2) "This Race is for the Birds" sponsored by the Potomac Audubon Society at NCTC on April 9 - also a self-timed walk this is the one that Paula walked in two years ago ☺ (I think it was 2 yrs ago...) and 3) Wildlife Signs Walk at Cacapon State Park on March 19 - this will show how to look for animal tracks and other signs of wildlife in West Virginia forests... I might be able to make this last one ! and maybe "This Race is for the Birds" -
anyone interested I have the contact numbers for all three
Dana, my ankles always get sore when I wear my ankle boots!!! But I put up wit it cause I rarely wear them for too long!
Jo, didn't know they had made the final demo decision yet....let alone started already!!! That was FAST! What--3 weeks ago???--they hadn't even gotten rid of lots of stuff yet. A terrible waste. Think how that place could have been turned in to so many other useful things. WOuld you believe I have never set foot inside it???
my naturalist friend in New York sent me (for my birthday last summer) a really neat, laminated, poster paper sized fold up guide to animal tracks of all kinds...from teeny tiny mice to big black bears, and also some bird tracks, and illustrations of scat!
He works at Roger Tory Peterson Institute, so can get a good employee discount and he has been very generous with giving me several bird/wildflower/insect/butterfly guides ... a very good friend...
sure was enjoyable watching the shuttle landing with many of you today - though I sure wish I had had sound! Did you notice how the numbers of watchers was jumping by the hundreds by the second! I lost track of the final count but it was well over 100,000
Good Evening!! Have to eat, but just wanted to get on for a while! Got my new Photoshop today & put in disc.All went fine until I tried to register it! DUH. They already have my name for 2 other products, so my new password didn't match!!!!Had to get on Live Chat (free!) to get it fixed!!DUH!!!Fooling around for couple hours! Kind of a grey day today--we only saw 6 deer at Chelsea today.The lady that runs the other huge Exhibit Shop for other Co. Park M & D sent our boss lady an email about "would we like to join them & combine shops"??????? No Way---they'll never get us away from our farm! Jo, I will mention the Earnhardt ebay. Horrible!
first boyfriend I ever had, Lynn, moved away with his family to New York near Erie when I was a senior in high school...it was just too far away for us to keep seeing each other, he taught me so many things about wildlife, especially about birds !
..he used to go hunting and fishing with Bobby Dean.... it goes back a long way, he and his family had an old farm near Swinging Bridge, big surprise...
but it was in rough shape, their actual residence was at the VA Center (then called Newton D Baker Hospital) - back when lots of the employees and their families could live there - that's where we met...
Don't know Bobby Dean, Margy. Who is he?? Seems like a lot of people had big ol' farms back there near the bridge!! And now I can't remember the two names I used to know that were there.....duh! Great that you all have kept in touch! I enjoy reminiscing occassionally with my first dateable HS boyfriend on Facebook!
He's a local naturalist, Lynn...is pretty active in the Audubon Society, he does bird-banding, lost his wife to brain cancer, two years ago (they were both active in the Audubon Society lives out near Spring Mill I think
Tripped over the dog leash---tore my toe open. Ouch! Didn't realize it was bleeding until I came back in from letting Mai out and took off the mud shoes!
HELP----any magic tips about stinky disposal drains?? I have run it with ice, used PineSol, used vinegar and baking soda; I used the dish-scrapoing brush and ran all around inside it---odor is just AWFUL! It got much worse after running dishwasher this morning. Thought THAT would have flushed it well. I'm gonna have to put the stoppers in if you don't have any ideas!!
Hedgie, I think it is very interesting that someone who listens to eminem can still takes an interest in nature, i.e. Liberty and Belle. It gives me pause... : )
Lynn, I don't know if it will help with your disposer, but my mother-in-law would plug up the sink and fill it with water and let a whole sink full of water drain through the disposer. I would think the dishwasher takes care of that, but it does not hurt to try.
It worked on my disposer when it smelled of cantaloupe on a hot summer day.
Just voted for Mai. Kathryn and Susan have been busily voting and Kathryn has a friend at work voting, too.
EVERYONE******** DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR MAI YING BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. SHE IS FALLING BEHIND. WE NEED YOUR VOTES. The Fetching Division, Round 2 | Mai Ying | Photo 2/8 | Metromix Washington D.C. COPY AND PASTE THE ADDRESS ABOVE and...don't forget to scroll down and click on SUBMIT!*************
We watched AI. Lots of good talent! I read back some & want to send thoughts & prayers to Jillian & the man's family. Just awful.
Good to read about Bears tomorrow!! Will try to remember to watch! Just give a roar! I did Mai dog duty! Gosh, some of the others have really popped up more. Well, dear friends, time to watch news & say, Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Okay, bleach I HAVE! Will try that for sure. Yeah, I would think the dishwasher dumping through it would do as good a job as anything! But will fill the sink and add the bleach and then let 'er dump!!
Heading for t ub. My day is done. LOts of thanks, hugs and love to you all. Hope our MIA's reprot in SOON! Prayers for all.
Mai is at 14% now, but still lagging behind a few others:( Hope we can get some new voters tomorrow. We did get a vote from Donka Maria (Donna) this evening...hooray! Give us another one tomorrow, Donna:)
I had 2 leasons, about the size of a pencil eraser removed from my face today, and they are now the size of a quarter and a fifty cent piece, with a blood red spot in the middle. I look like the elephant man. Couldn't go to Ash Wednesday services tonight...didn't want to frighten the children...YES, it's that bad! Having more removed in two weeks. YIKES!! One is a cyst and will have to be cut off and sutured...I will certainly be a sight. Been wanting to do this for years... wrinkles, I can live with, but not these thingys:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL
Thank you all for prayers for my granddaughter and Matt's family♥
Hi, Everyone, Got home from school a little while ago, and have been checking e-mails and reading back a bit on the blog.
I remembered to vote for Mai tonight!
Lynn, one thing that seems to work well for me with the disposal is a product called "Plink" that I get at Walmart, usually on the aisle where the dishwasher soap and cleaning products are. It comes on a cardboard blister pack, and the product is a large gel capsule that looks kind of like bubble bath. You put the capsule down the disposal, run it, and run water (hot water, I think) down the disposal too. It smells like citrus or lemon. To renew it, you run hot water and turn on the disposal. Works well for me, and it's pretty inexpensive. Worth a try! I would think that bleach would do the trick too, though. Prayers for your injured toe! Sounds mighty painful! Wanda, Hope your "owies" on your face heal up really quickly! Prayers! Shirley, Good to see you here tonight! I hope that Luna is doing well. Sounds like you are very busy with school, and I bet that's why we haven't seen Judie for a while, too! At least that's what I'm hoping is going on with Judie! I imagine if she wasn't feeling well we would have heard from Darth. Margy, I thought of you on the way home tonight. Mister Moon was fairly high in the sky, looking like a big smile! Very pretty! Sure hope and pray that you get rid of that cough pronto!
Oh, Lynn, You get a few of those "Plink" capsules, not just one! Well, I'm pretty tired, so am going to check the night light and porch light to make sure they are on. Prayers have been said for everyone and their pet(s). The eye-scanner security and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Sleep tight, everyone, and I'll talk to you tomorrow. Checked the nest, and can make out a white head and a white tail, but not much else. All seems to be OK. God bless, and goodnight! Love you guys! :o]
wow- Belle is really spread out to keep the rain off the eggs. today's nest weather- it ain't nice- Rain. Highs in the mid 50s. Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent too much rain all at once, but at least it's warm, 50° now, and it isn't snow.
Good morning everyone. Argh I don't much care for todays forecast there. No pop up cam for me today.
Happy Birthday NatureNut Loretta!
Feeling a little better this morning than yesterday. Eyes are running nose is running but sinuses seem to be draining today so atleast I can breathe a little better.
Hello. Nothing good about this dreary morning here. Feeling awful and having a time with Mai. Behaviorist comes at 11, and Carolyn is bringing me more tissues and meds soon. So I probably won't have time to be on much. Forgive me if I miss you or commenting. Love you all.
What a soggy morning! Hello everyone, Oh no>..Looks like Mai is slipping a bit... I just voted for today. Still raining here. No water in the canal yet! It will be here soon. The south branch in WV picked up a good bit of rain out of this storm. It will take some time to get down this far.
Wanda, you will be surprised how quickly your face will heal!! You will be beautiful again very soon!!! Just don't scratch!! Did Dr. Hurst do it?? Swoon!!! Isn't that awful to get excited about a man my daughters went to school with???

I'm ready for it! Thanks Steve for the new thread and hope that the rivers don't rise too much.
I'll call others over
We just finished watching Discovery touch down.
Hedgie hmmm sorry you can't get the cam to open. Works well for me although I don't have it opened right now. Guess I will go see if it has developed a problem. I hope not. I am running on firefox but that shouldn't make a difference.
DUH if you are reading the info then the link did open for you just not the webcam. Hmmm I honestly don't know what to suggest. I think for some browsers there was a plug in you had to allow. Seemed to load for me fine though first time in there.
Hi, Mema Jo,
Steve, thanks for the new thread, and Jo, thanks for the call over!
Wanda, my heart goes out to your granddaughter! (...and to you!) I cannot imagine how awful that must have been for her. I am sure she will receive counseling, and surely they will forgive her driving error. She was obviously in shock. Prayers, too, for her friend Matt's wife and child, and the rest of his family and friends. Praying that God will mend their broken hearts, and give them His peace. ((HUGS!!)) :O{
Thank you, Andrea♥
Lynn, the accident that you were commenting on...I was a senior in High School at that time and was good friends with Ginny. The boys were quite popular as was the whole family. The whole high school was in shock for days.
We all felt so badly for their Mom.
Glo, still no luck.....same message. :(
Looks like there's another troll on the cam forum. Smart a--.
Tried it on Firefox, too, Glo.....no luck.
Wanda......was their name Fish? Seems to me that was it, right? It's been a long time since I met her.
well sorry. I would be curious to know if folks outside of IL/IA area can get into the cam. I think Stan would want to know too. So if anyone does connect with it would you email me or message me on facebook. I will watch here for comments too but its definitely try to nap time here. Depending on how chatty you are Imight miss your message here.
Yes, it was, Lynn. The mother may have been named Ginny, also. It was the oldest daughter that was my friend. They lived on the curve of Winchester Ave Ext., right across from the Carpet store. I think there is a vet set up there now.
I am in love with that site already, Glo. I can click on it and move it around a bit!
Belle tenting
Glo, I can get the nest, but it comes in kinda funky...wavy like
Sleeting here.
Belle is tenting.
OK thanks folks I am glad you can see the nest. Yes it is a bit wavy. on a 1 sec delay , and only end of first week and beginning of first year for the cam, but the price is right :-) Sorry Lynn that you can't bring in the site. Not sure why.
Did anyone notice how pretty the light is hitting our eagle right now. OK Dex in from his after lunch quick walk. I am going to try to nap some.
Glo it is the sleet hitting Belle right now. She is tenting.
Rain hasn't yet come into my valley
I'm sure it will........
Probably this ol' computer...
:-( well darn sorry its sleet. It is casting a pretty light on her but guess that means its about time for me to close the pop up. Poor birds I just can't enjoy watching them get drenched BUT I DO ADMIRE BOTH of them so very very much indeed.
I don't remember, Wanda....Ginny doesn't sound right.....but I just can't put my finger on her first name. Oh, at Big Springs, huh?
That site might work better in IE then...
Taking a break..

Hey, Jim, send your weather here, p-l-e-a-s-e!!!!

Looks like the rain has stopped for now...here as well
Lib is on the nest
Tenting at CRC too...Savannah is such a good Mom ♥
Alexis and her dad will be coming up for dinner & the evening. We've been going out to eat but Alexis always says she wants to come to the house.
Just saw a beautiful egg roll.
Tucked the fluff around our 2 eggs before doing the wiggle wiggle..
Feeding at BWE. All 3 are looking in different directions.
Wee one is getting his share all by himself at BWE.
So what is on the menu, Jo? Sghetti??
How did you know that Lynn! Yepper -
meatless sauce for Hubby & Me but
meatballs for Alexis and dad...
Ash Wednesday you know.
Hi all! Just put in my two votes, voted earlier on the other laptop. Have put out my plea/reminder on fb.
Link to vote for Mai Ying
Ran errands in town and now going out to work in the yard. Beautiful day, bright blue sky, not hot, not cold, just right! ☺
Some yucky wushi leftovers at BWE!
Sounds ideal, Lolly! But it's the time of day now to wind down!!
Thanks for votes!! We are lagging a bit.
Jo, a little bird told me about sghetti!!
how has Mai been acting today..?
Thanks for the reminder, Lolly, got my one vote in..will do the other shortly
Just voted for Mai!
The next round should take the top 4 from each division I'm thinking.
BBL
Got home had some deliveries to make in neighborhood.
Need to catch up on comments.
Did see on comcast news torando's in Alabama and some other places.
Prayers for them.
Did see on Rt 901 near hotel across from McDonald's. A truck accident. Don't know how many involved. There was an ambulance, state police, another police vehicle and tow truck. Thank goodness I turned left to come home.
Quite a few wrecks around, Dana. As always when the roads are wet. People just don't slow down!
Yes, Jo.....4 from each to the Sweet Sixteen for next week!
Mai was not very good earlier, Jo. She doesn't know that people think they are voting for a sweetheart! HA! We were playing ball and she attacked me...no open wounds, though.
We are missing graduation....asked for the trainer to call me, but it may not happen until after the class. I know she has other classes over the weekend, so maybe we can go then.
Hi Eagle Pals
the heavy rain has been a bit of no-show so far and I am not complaining!
But there was a flood warning weather statement that came it at work just before I left
for the Opequon Creek
looks like another carp at Blackwater - maybe
but the local weather channel report says flood watch only
Kids should be here in a few minutes..
She is so sweet looking we may as well
fool them in to voting!
Hope she can get to a graduation -
hat and diploma! I think your decision is wise not to go out this evening.
Dana glad you got home - you had a long day
sorry you are missing graduation Lynn and I hope it can be re-scheduled just for you and Mai
eagle on the platform at BWO
have fun tonight Jo with your family as I know you will ☺
Hi Margy - glad your work day went well. Here's hoping the upstairs neighbors are working out for you.
I was watching Lily and Hope awhile ago and those little cubs are really growing inside that den... Anxious to see all four of them walk out together.
if I seem rude and disappear blame it on the intenet
took me an hour for it to come back to life here
woof woof woof dog barking sounds at NCTC
Rain appears to have stopped here...for now! But more on the way. Tomorrow is supposed to be bad.
Wish I could lend Belle my umbrella.
thanks JO
things are mostly quiet
little 3 yoa is named Blessed, isn't that neat ???
I did take the welcoming package up...
I am trying to be quiet for them too...
been doing so much coughing !!!
Margy, maybe you should call Frontier. ???
Wanda even for the volunteer firefighters. They give grief counseling too them. So I am sure they will understand about Jillian.
Keeping Jllian in prayer, Matt's wife and children and parents and other friends. So sorry this happened to sweet Jillian.
Yes it was a long day. Those new shoes I brought the other day. Tennis shoes the side at the ankle is too high. Has the bone in my ankle where I can hardly walk. Don't know if I can take them back. I sure could use the $50.00 they cost. Thank the Lord I found a pair today at Sears that has a lower cut at the ankle. Reebok this pair is.
commanding eagle presence at BWO -
I amthinking it is a BWE parent
though it could be of one of many Blackwater eagles
Mai did do a good deed this morning! Charlie lost his wire cutters in the leaves and could not find them. Mai did!!! Of course, after 6 days, they are a bit rusted,but hopefully he can get them cleaned up with some WD-40.
finding good shoes can be a real challenge Dana..
hope all works out okay for your feeties
Prayers for Lynn and Margy to get better.
Lots of rain heading our way tomorrow. I think it stops on Friday.
MARGY, did you ever get your "loaner umbrella" back? You may need it with 2" of rain on the way!
I voted for Mai now I got to get my 2nd vote in. I have others voting too.
that's cute, Lynn..
she should get a finder's fee from Charlie !
Belle is doing alot of flugg work.
Light just came on!
Nope Wanda - it is still in Bluefield! But I do have a second large one...to tide me over !!
just observed a nice egg check, but blogging and watching live feed are not campatible tonight !
takes me a minute to even see my own words show up before I can post
Dana, hope your Reeboks were on sale at Sears. I get mine at the outlet at Tanger. Only kind of sneaker I wear. Yes, take the others back!
BBL dinner time
Thank you Dana for the wellness prayer..
I am pretty much out of the woods except for the cough
xoxo
Night light just came on

I'm thinking that eagle at BWO is going to show up at BWE here pretty soon...
need to shut everything down, everything slow as molasses
good time for a hot bath and shower !
bbl
hope the evening is good for everyone
Prayers for your precious granddaughter Wanda, and for Matt's family, his survivors
♥
xoxo
hoping to see more of our friends show up for chatter here soon...
Hi, Gang,
Dropping back in to say hello before I have to eat dinner and run (no--drive!) to school. Have been really busy doing transcription homework on the computer. Did check in to see one of our eagles doing their best impression of an umbrella earlier. Sure hope they are wrong about the weather report for the nest!
Dana, I totally understand about the new sneakers--my feet are hard to fit, too. Try taking them back--just explain that the problem took a while to show up. Worst they can say is no, but chances are likely that you will get your $$$ back!
Uh oh--dinner is just about ready. Have to run. Will check back in after school tonight! Have a good evening, everyone! :o]
Hi all! Went outside and pulled a few weeds. It is interesting to work down front, people walking stop to talk.

Laurel is getting excited about next week. It is spring break for a lot of school districts. She and the boys are coming here for a few days. Might know...that is the week we are needing to stick very close to the cam.
Well, Lolly, if nothing else, it will get Laurel away from what needs doing at Faye's! Tell Joey to do it!
Lolly, think how excited the boys would be if they could witness the hatching of our eagle's egg! Let them watch as you discover a hole, a crack and a chick:) Tell them you will call them to the 'puter when something NEW happens:) Let Laurel cook dinner so that you can watch til it's all over!
Margy, blog has been slow to post several times for me today, too. And still have intermiitant problems with email from people with Verizon servers. Don't know what that is all about.
Hey, locals.....what goes around, comes around. We are going to be paying our electric bills to Potomac Edison once again! Two companies merge and take back the old name from before the last merger! Funny, huh?
Hey Lolly, is this the osprey cam in Maine that you were thinking about?
A Taste of Maine osprey cam
Very funny - ironical funny!
If we get 2-3" of rain...
The weather service says the Potomac River at Harpers Ferry, W.Va., could reach 20.2 feet by Saturday morning. The flood stage there is 18 feet.
Not Good!

News of the Washington County Hospital:
Demolition process begins on former Washington County Hospital
The new hospital is on Robinwood Dr.
3 of my children were born there and my grandmother died there. Lots of memories are in that building for me.
Wanda - How precious is that picture
you have! I had to enlarge to be sure it was Jayden!
Yes, Paula, that is the Osprey cam. Forgot to look for it. Think I have it bookmarked on the other laptop. Now, thanks to you, I have it bookmarked on this one.
LOL Wanda...do not think Laurel has in mind cooking when coming here. She likes to come here and be treated special....do not blame her! She reads a lot and sleeps late while here. I love it!
BBL
It is a special feeling to have one of your children back home, if only for the night. Doesn't happen here, very often.
I check you all out tomorrow. I have to go get my feet up. Putting some ice on that ankle.
Prayers for those that need them; like Margy to fully get better, Lynn to get MUCH BETTER, Andy to get some rest.
Prayers for those that need them whether God's creatures or His people.
Prayers and safe travels for tomorrow for everyone that will be out in that rain.
Hi Evening Eagle People
and it's already tomorrow overseas
How about Red in Alabama...think he is safe from the dangerous weather down there today ?
finally got caught up on reading last Sunday's paper!
Found three things of great interest listed:
1) Birding 101 being taught at NCTC by Bob Dean, Matt Orsie, and Wil Hershberger - starts April 7 -
four evening classroom sessions, and four half-day Saturday field trips....would I ever like to attend all that with those three !
2) "This Race is for the Birds" sponsored by the Potomac Audubon Society at NCTC on April 9 - also a self-timed walk
this is the one that Paula walked in two years ago ☺
(I think it was 2 yrs ago...)
and
3) Wildlife Signs Walk at Cacapon State Park on March 19 - this will show how to look for animal tracks and other signs of wildlife in West Virginia forests...
I might be able to make this last one !
and maybe "This Race is for the Birds" -
anyone interested I have the contact numbers for all three
Dana, my ankles always get sore when I wear my ankle boots!!! But I put up wit it cause I rarely wear them for too long!
Jo, didn't know they had made the final demo decision yet....let alone started already!!! That was FAST! What--3 weeks ago???--they hadn't even gotten rid of lots of stuff yet. A terrible waste. Think how that place could have been turned in to so many other useful things. WOuld you believe I have never set foot inside it???
THE hearse? How awful. Some money-grubbing funeral home, no doubt......wonder if Teresa will try to stop the sale?? THe really stinks.
I mostly took people to Washington County Hospital by ambulance
and had a several days long visit saga with a sick little friend in ICU five years ago
and my sister Katherine was born there in 1947 - well she was born in Hagerstown so I guess it was there
Dana needs to see the Cacapon State Park that will show how to look for animal tracks. That would be a cool
class.
Where is Judie - did I miss her?
Yes I thought of Dana immediately, Jo ☺
It sounds like a really neat thing, hope I am off that day and can go, and take James !
my naturalist friend in New York sent me (for my birthday last summer) a really neat, laminated, poster paper sized fold up guide to animal tracks of all kinds...from teeny tiny mice to big black bears, and also some bird tracks, and
illustrations of scat!
I'm a bit worried about Judie and Lynne.....hey girls, how you be????
He works at Roger Tory Peterson Institute, so can get a good employee discount and he has been very generous with giving me several bird/wildflower/insect/butterfly guides
... a very good friend...
haven't seen Judie, Lynne, Shirley...and more :(
sure was enjoyable watching the shuttle landing with many of you today - though I sure wish I had had sound!
Did you notice how the numbers of watchers was jumping by the hundreds by the second!
I lost track of the final count but it was well over 100,000
Mom Blackwater is trying to sleep and baby eaglets are squirming around
Good Evening!! Have to eat, but just wanted to get on for a while!
Got my new Photoshop today & put in disc.All went fine until I tried to register it! DUH. They already have my name for 2 other products, so my new password didn't match!!!!Had to get on Live Chat (free!) to get it fixed!!DUH!!!Fooling around for couple hours!
Kind of a grey day today--we only saw 6 deer at Chelsea today.The lady that runs the other huge Exhibit Shop for other Co. Park M & D sent our boss lady an email about "would we like to join them & combine shops"??????? No Way---they'll never get us away from our farm!
Jo, I will mention the Earnhardt ebay. Horrible!
All's quiet and restful at Lily's Den
and Ted and Lucky are sacked out in their den
take that back, squirming going on at Lily's
Hi Loretta.....are you working Thursday ?? Please say you have the day off !
And along with a day off, NO dr. appointments, Loretta!!
LOL---was your Live Chat person American???
Keep your shops seperate, for sure!
Margy, your friend sounds like a very good one!! Was he a local person you grew up with?
first boyfriend I ever had, Lynn, moved away with his family to New York near Erie when I was a senior in high school...it was just too far away for us to keep seeing each other, he taught me so many things about wildlife, especially about birds !
..he used to go hunting and fishing with Bobby Dean....
it goes back a long way,
he and his family had an old farm near Swinging Bridge, big surprise...
but it was in rough shape, their actual residence was at the VA Center (then called Newton D Baker Hospital) -
back when lots of the employees and their families could live there - that's where we met...
Great variety of songs on AI---and these kids are GOOD!
And now a Patsy Cline song!
Headed in to see what is on TV
Still some repeats I'm sure..
BBL
well, the weather forecasts for hereabouts look fairly good for the week-end and better first part of the week...hope it stays that way
Early to bed, at least for now..might check back in later if I cannot nod off....
Best wishes for a good night for everyone
God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥
Don't know Bobby Dean, Margy. Who is he?? Seems like a lot of people had big ol' farms back there near the bridge!! And now I can't remember the two names I used to know that were there.....duh!
Great that you all have kept in touch!
I enjoy reminiscing occassionally with my first dateable HS boyfriend on Facebook!
He's a local naturalist, Lynn...is pretty active in the Audubon Society, he does bird-banding, lost his wife to brain cancer, two years ago
(they were both active in the Audubon Society
lives out near Spring Mill I think
slow steady cold rain here now
Watching AI, can not believe how good they all are! Really enjoyable!
Yeah, here too, Margy. Yuck!
Hmmmm....not ringing a bell at all! But then, our group is the only birding bunch I am involved with!
That was weird! I typed my last post and it was taking forever to load. Finally erased it and clicked publish and there it was!
Hello Eagle Fans,
I see Belle is rolling and will be wiggling down soon.
I had to laugh...someone on the OC chat said they couldn't hear if Belle called out.......eminem was blocking out the sound. Too funny.
I can barely see the eagle, but there is one sitting on the Sidney nest. I may find the time to check what's going on there.
I also got to see the eagle romping on the White Rock nest. They are not there now. They must be romping with the smell of spring in the air.
BEagle, some of those people are a hoot!
Lolly, gonna hate to see any one of these kids leave. They all have a special talent----God-given, for sure!!
Tripped over the dog leash---tore my toe open. Ouch! Didn't realize it was bleeding until I came back in from letting Mai out and took off the mud shoes!
Oh, yes! They are good! Still love to hear Scotty sing. I think it would be easier to vote one out than to vote who is the best.
Ouch is right! Careful there, no tripping allowed!
HELP----any magic tips about stinky disposal drains?? I have run it with ice, used PineSol, used vinegar and baking soda; I used the dish-scrapoing brush and ran all around inside it---odor is just AWFUL! It got much worse after running dishwasher this morning. Thought THAT would have flushed it well. I'm gonna have to put the stoppers in if you don't have any ideas!!
Oh, I also tried lemon juice!
Hedgie, I think it is very interesting that someone who listens to eminem can still takes an interest in nature, i.e. Liberty and Belle. It gives me pause... : )
Odo-Ban
Oh, BEagle, bet there are a lot of young ones out there who have a weird sense of music appreciation who LOVE animals!!!
What is ODO-BAN? Never heard of it and surely don't have any!!
A gallon is around $10 at Sam's.
The Sidney nest laid their first on March 7th.
Hi,
Lynn, I don't know if it will help with your disposer, but my mother-in-law would plug up the sink and fill it with water and let a whole sink full of water drain through the disposer. I would think the dishwasher takes care of that, but it does not hurt to try.
It worked on my disposer when it smelled of cantaloupe on a hot summer day.
Just voted for Mai. Kathryn and Susan have been busily voting and Kathryn has a friend at work voting, too.
I watched a demo. A solution of garlic water was sprayed on a towel and did it smell!
Then they took the product and sprayed it on the towel over the garlic odor.
Poof...it was gone!
My weather alarm went off a while ago for a flood warning. Glad that happened before I went upstairs to bed. It is downstairs in the living room.
I have been very busy grading papers and giving SOL tests this week. I have gotten far behind on the blog, I'm afraid.
Goodnight and sweet dreams.
Prayers for you.
♥
Maybe add a little bleach to the water after you fill the sink and let that drain through.
Bear Update
Dr. Lynn is going to the den tomorrow, mid day. Should be very interesting to watch the cam at that time.
I am going to head upstairs for the evening. Busy day tomorrow. I have a meeting first thing and need to get grade reports to the kids.
Try a cup of bleach, followed by a lot of hot water, Lynn. Plummer told GG to do that once a month.
EVERYONE********
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE FOR MAI YING BEFORE YOU GO TO BED. SHE IS FALLING BEHIND. WE NEED YOUR VOTES.

We watched AI. Lots of good talent!
I read back some & want to send
thoughts & prayers to Jillian & the man's family. Just awful.
Good to read about Bears tomorrow!! Will try to remember to watch! Just give a roar!
I did Mai dog duty! Gosh, some of the others have really popped up more.
Well, dear friends, time to watch news & say,
Pleasant Feather Dreams ;>)
Okay, bleach I HAVE! Will try that for sure. Yeah, I would think the dishwasher dumping through it would do as good a job as anything! But will fill the sink and add the bleach and then let 'er dump!!
Heading for t ub. My day is done.
LOts of thanks, hugs and love to you all. Hope our MIA's reprot in SOON!
Prayers for all.
I am headed back the hall - weather news is wet, wet, wet.
Wish that Judie or Darth would appear.
Good night everyone and pleasant dreams
Prayers for each and every one of you for your needs and wants.. Bless us all
Hugs for all ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Watched the news and read the small hometown newspaper. Now I am ready to go shower. Eyes are getting tired.
Nite all! Sweet dreams!
Mai is at 14% now, but still lagging behind a few others:(
Hope we can get some new voters tomorrow. We did get a vote from Donka Maria (Donna) this evening...hooray! Give us another one tomorrow, Donna:)
I had 2 leasons, about the size of a pencil eraser removed from my face today, and they are now the size of a quarter and a fifty cent piece, with a blood red spot in the middle. I look like the elephant man. Couldn't go to Ash Wednesday services tonight...didn't want to frighten the children...YES, it's that bad!
Having more removed in two weeks. YIKES!! One is a cyst and will have to be cut off and sutured...I will certainly be a sight. Been wanting to do this for years... wrinkles, I can live with, but not these thingys:)
GOOD NIGHT MY FRIENDS
PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS FOR ALL
Thank you all for prayers for my granddaughter and Matt's family♥
Hi, Everyone,
Got home from school a little while ago, and have been checking e-mails and reading back a bit on the blog.
I remembered to vote for Mai tonight!
Lynn, one thing that seems to work well for me with the disposal is a product called "Plink" that I get at Walmart, usually on the aisle where the dishwasher soap and cleaning products are. It comes on a cardboard
blister pack, and the product is a large gel capsule that looks kind of like bubble bath. You put the capsule down the disposal, run it, and run water (hot water, I think) down the disposal too. It smells like citrus or lemon. To renew it, you run hot water and turn on the disposal. Works well for me, and it's pretty inexpensive. Worth a try! I would think that bleach would do the trick too, though. Prayers for your injured toe! Sounds mighty painful!
Wanda,
Hope your "owies" on your face heal up really quickly! Prayers!
Shirley,
Good to see you here tonight! I hope that Luna is doing well. Sounds like you are very busy with school, and I bet that's why we haven't seen Judie for a while, too! At least that's what I'm hoping is going on with Judie! I imagine if she wasn't feeling well we would have heard from Darth.
Margy,
I thought of you on the way home tonight. Mister Moon was fairly high in the sky, looking like a big smile!
Very pretty! Sure hope and pray that you get rid of that cough pronto!
Oh, Lynn,
You get a few of those "Plink" capsules, not just one!
Well, I'm pretty tired, so am going to check the night light and porch light to make sure they are on. Prayers have been said for everyone and their pet(s). The eye-scanner security and Dana's thumbprint-scanner security are enabled. Sleep tight, everyone, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Checked the nest, and can make out a white head and a white tail, but not much else. All seems to be OK.
God bless, and goodnight! Love you guys! :o]
wow- Belle is really spread out to keep the rain off the eggs.
today's nest weather- it ain't nice-
Rain. Highs in the mid 50s. Southeast winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of rain near 100 percent
too much rain all at once, but at least it's warm, 50° now, and it isn't snow.
Good Morning Eagle Friends, and
especially:
Happy Birthday NatureNut Loretta!
Hope this is a great day, and a wonderful year to follow xoxo ♥
Thanks for the weather forecast once again, Megan
I hope your indoor and outdoor crops are doing well
I think I just heard a red-shouldered hawk at NCTC
not at the nest, just on the audio AT the nest
interesting morning chow at BWE
things look pretty soggy there also
Oh, I missed that, had the sound turned down.
Happy Birthday, Loretta!
Wanda
hope all the little things on your beautiful face will heal quickly...
short stay here this morning, hope to see everyone from my work computer....
Best wishes for a good, safe, healthy day....
xoxoxo
beautiful view at the Finland Water nest..sun and shadows and frozen snow-covered water
"night light" just went "out" at NCTC
beautiful daytime colors now
Eagle calling our nest !
I'm guessing if that's Belle she would like a break.
would think so too Megan....couldn't really tell if it was from the roosting eagle, or one on a branch
okay, really time to go now....
missing Lori on here this morning...hope all is okay...
xoxo
Good morning everyone. Argh I don't much care for todays forecast there. No pop up cam for me today.
Happy Birthday NatureNut Loretta!
Feeling a little better this morning than yesterday. Eyes are running nose is running but sinuses seem to be draining today so atleast I can breathe a little better.
Off to vote for Mai.
Good Morning my Eagle Budsters!
I couldn't stand it without you and Belle and Lib a minute longer so I'm jumping on - quick - to say hello and I'm thinking of you and the EGGLETS.
They've made some changes in my regular routine at work and I'm trying to get up to speed with the tweaks.
Can't wait for the weekend!
Be safe in this weather.
Happy, Happy Birthday Loretta!
Hello. Nothing good about this dreary morning here. Feeling awful and having a time with Mai. Behaviorist comes at 11, and Carolyn is bringing me more tissues and meds soon. So I probably won't have time to be on much. Forgive me if I miss you or commenting. Love you all.
Belle is wet, but not tenting much.
BTW----the straight bleach followed by a sinkful of hot water did the trick with the disposal! Thanks!!!
Glo, glad you are feeling better.
Lori, I remembered that you said you would be extra busy at work!
I didn't know that it is Loretta's birthday. Someone named Sunny was on the list......but not Loretta---unless my list didn't print out all the way!!! So:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUNNY!
and
♫ ♫HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR LORETTA,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!♫ ♫
Here we go- Lib finally here- with a fish for Belle.
LOL, Andt, I use plinks all the time. They weren;t working this time!!
Lib just brought in breakfast. Can faintly hear them calling out! Or maybe it was Belle...she's eating and flapping and he took off.
And he flew right back out of the nest. Rain has stopped for the moment. Belle is up and eating the fish.
Belle flew out- Lib is back.
What a soggy morning!
Hello everyone,
Oh no>..Looks like Mai is slipping a bit... I just voted for today. Still raining here. No water in the canal yet! It will be here soon. The south branch in WV picked up a good bit of rain out of this storm. It will take some time to get down this far.
Wanda, you will be surprised how quickly your face will heal!! You will be beautiful again very soon!!! Just don't scratch!! Did Dr. Hurst do it?? Swoon!!! Isn't that awful to get excited about a man my daughters went to school with???
Rain seems to have stopped here for the present, too, Megan.
Donna, how close to the canal are you?
Shirley's school day will be short! They are closing early in Culpeper Co. due to flooding.
NEW THREAD
Carolyn is here. Later, gators.
