They are forecasting the possibility of a little sleet here this morning....so far, nada...thank goodness...but it is only 28° and very raw and cloudy. No prediction yesterday that it was going to get so cold overnight or I would have built a fire. Brrrr.
I have always been thankful for the good life I have, never encountering anything insurmountable. So with that thought, my biggest dilemma is using 2 Kindle gift cards. I have always downloaded the free books from Amazon or my public library. Now I have to actually BUY some books. Just not sure what I permanently want to spend the $$ on. Pretty pathetic dilemma (even I know that). LOL
Can't get the Pooh or Piglet books on Kindle . . .maybe I'll get the hard copies . . .hmmmm.
Thanks for the call over CarolAnne! Glad you're not stuck in a doggie door - speaking of doggies, did you make the homemade food and are the dogs liking it? I enjoyed reading your poem but you left out that, in Wisconsin you've got cold, cold, and more cold! I have good friends who moved from bethany Beach to Madison to be near their grandson. They say they love being close to family but hate the winters! I'm afraid Wisconsin's climate wouldn't agree with me at all! I don't even like southern DE winters! I'm with Judy - could live in FL and have warm all the time! Hoda, I did get to see a little of the morning eagle visit when I got to school and logged on. sadly, the eagles left before my students got in so all they saw was an MT nest. I keep telling them that hopefully we'll have eggs soon and then they can see an eagle in the nest all the time, even if most of the time for the first 35 days it's just sitting there keeping eggs warm.
It is 45, do not think I will go out and dance. Think I will just look out and giggle! Thanks, Jo, for the sunny day order, but really the rain is just wonderful!
I think I will share the cheese cake and leave a big chunk of it in Denton. LOL Got on the scales this morning. The weekend was not good for me. Yikes!

Nice, long sleep last night. But I am still a little drowsy.
Need to go get some books for Hunter at the public library. He has been telling me that he is reading a book at school. I asked about bringing the book home to read. Says he cannot do that. So I ask more questions. He can't bring the book home because he is afraid Flash might chew it up.
Hmm, I have assured the teacher that we do not avoid having books at home because of the fear of dog chewing. I think there is a con game going on here.
Paula, thanks for sharing the eagle release. Really an awesome story. My mother developed a similar disease if not the same. Together we all opted for Mother not to receive frequent transfusions. She was 90. Thinking of her today and missing her.
I like that Steve "The Winter that never was". Now watch us get a huge snow fall. Steve you better be prepared to shovel us out lol
Well if this is a virus it is one I have never had before. Up all night pains trying to bulph. Felt like at first hital hernia acted up. Nausa and then a bolt of lightening. Thankful made it to bathroom. That has never stopped yet.
Will try a piece of oatmeal toast. If I put water in-water out.
My fingers swelled so big had to get rings off. They were cutting into my fingers. Fingers still swelled.
Jo, literally or figuratively??? Grilled PB&J with bacon WAS on my brunch plate---yum!! and radiation at 1.....ready now in case the idiots show up early for a change!!

Lynn - I just hope they come for sure! Has your mail carrier and newspaper delivery come to your door?
DanaWV = sure hope you shake this Like Lynn said - it is going around & it doesn't seem to go away as fast as you would like! Hope your Mom is doing ok.
Oh, almost forgot my bird report from Paradise...saw a heron and a redtail flying over the beach...and a pair of mallards. My neighbor Sue Ellen said an immature eagle has been in the tree next to my house every morning when she goes out. She also saw an adult eagle trying to get a loon out of the water. The loon would dive for long periods to evade the eagle. The eagle finally gave up.
Appreciate your avatar, CarolAnne. I am loving it. Keep looking outside and it keeps coming down! Praise the Lord! They are now saying that Texas weather last year was the driest ever! Do not, DO NOT, want a repeat.
I am planning another road trip for us all. Received a mailing from Georgia Tech director of travel. Now, only 20 of us can go, so get your name in fast. We are going to "The Polar Bears of Churchill." We are going to Churchill, Manitoba to watch the bears play in the snow and watch the freezing of Hudson Bay.

Home for lunch and find a new thread with 112 comments already wow I guess no news is good news Haven't been called in to the office to speak to ERIC the boss and on the other hand I ham not giving up my computer today at lunch Eric not the boss but an associate that works on it says bring in the morning and he goes home at lunch and he will bring it back at lunch so i will not be without a puter He laughed at the last time I was with out it that I was jonesen for a puter LOL Ok now I need to start reading
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLLY!!! GLAD YOU'RE FINALLY GETTING SOME RAIN, AND HOPE THIS WILL BE A FANTASTIC DAY FOR YOU!!!
I've been on the phone for most of the morning--have a story of how GOD works in mysterious ways! Several months ago, we switched from AT&T to MCI for our land line phone service. We had been paying almost $100/mo. for AT&T, and MCI offered the same service for about $45/mo.
A couple of weeks ago I got a telemarketing call from AT&T. (Answered it by mistake; had been expecting a call from someone else, and didn't check the caller ID.) The guy said that we qualified for Lifeline service, and would only pay $11 or so per month, with caller ID and an unlisted phone #. I told him several times that I was sure we didn't qualify for Lifeline phone service, but he INSISTED that since we were collecting Social Security that we qualified. My "gut" was telling me not to switch over from MCI, but he talked me into doing it. As I mentioned, we had been paying about $45.00/mo. for land line service with MCI. Had all kinds of problems with it--went 3 weeks or more without any service when heavy rains came, and have heard echoing of our voices and other conversations in the background while on the phone. Well, we got an application for Lifeline phone service in the mail, and turns out you have to be collecting SSI or Disability, OR have an extremely low income to qualify for it. Kubby was really angry, and I was not happy, either. Called AT&T C/S today, and explained what happened. The gal was really nice, and we ended up making a deal I can live with! For local service, call waiting & caller ID, and an unlisted #, it's $30 or $31/mo. Our CELL phones have unlimited FREE long distance anywhere in the US, so that's covered. Since we're back to AT&T, we have absolutely NO echos or other problems, and we will be paying more than $10 less than we had been!!! Hooray! Praise GOD! Who'd have thought....
another day in ICU day 5 tori's numbers are good but she fevered overnight and it recently broke, she also deveopd a small hole in lung but at the moment they are not overly concerned as it can close itself. it happened due to pressure going in but those pressures dropped so we are still moving forward, slowly but moving
We are haveing another heat wave in the lo 80's now but odd my house is chilly no ac on either was chilly last nite I guess hasn;t heated up the house yet I did break down and eat some lunch before I can home but could only get down a half a mcdouble and maybe 1/3 of the fries
Have been praying for Tori & Robyn, Lynn, and for WV Dana. Hope WV Dana improves rapidly, and doesn't get dehydrated!
Glad that Boomer is still doing OK! Know what it's like to have a canine vacuum in the house--Emma can find the TINIEST crumbs of forbidden substances, paper clips, you name it! Eternal vigilance is called for, for sure!
Well, speaking of Emma, she's wanting some lap time, so guess I'd better run for now. Will be praying for everyone here to have a fantastic Monday, including JudyE--I SO understand your anxiety over the stuff going on at work, and pray for your peace in that situation!
Oh, golly--wish you all could see the pitiful look I'm getting from poor, abused Emma right now!LOL She wants my lap, NOW, and is pouring it on pretty thickly! Will BBL... HAGD, everyone! :o]
I always wonder why they can't give us the best deal right from the beginning. It usually takes leaving or trying to leave that the really good deals come out.
OK this is the eagle that I did save in my puter I deleted all the other moving ones like the holidays ones I went looking for the link to this and don't remember the name of it either I did post the link a long time ago but don't know when it was even to go look for it I will keep looking to see if I can find the link that works on the blog I can't even remember who started it when I got involved in it I think it was Lori or DanaMo that started the animated and I googled and found a site that I can't find at all again
ANDY, glad your communiction problem turned out so well. I went away from AT&T for a while, using Sprint, but returned for much lower rates. Guess there's a good reason they are the giants in the field.
Good poem, CAROLANNE. Nothing wrong with a little chauvenism for one's own State. It's good when we love the State we're in and the state we're in as well !
JUDY, I'm not a FB'er but have always heard, "don't say or put anything on there you do not want Everyone to read or that you wouldn't say to a person face to face". It is a public domain. Same advice works here on our blog, too, for anyone can lurk and learn. Guess private items should be conveyed by e-mail and with crossed fingers even there !
JO you are so sweet but don't get your tummy in a whirl its bad enough mine is
CA your avatar looks like from Morton Salt but in red
and DANAwvgal thanks also for thinking of me even when you are so sick I hope you feel better soon I am almost 100% with my cold am amazed its gone so fast That zicam does work but is nasty big time SHIRLEY has snow BRRRRR
I have caught up and its almost time to hit the road again I punched out at 12:29 put have 17clicks I have to take off don't want to get in trouble for being over in time enough to worry about My dept mgr and zone mgr and upset also with this but they can't do anything either about it this man is tough by the book a control freak He is making all our mgrs wear suits Which is not a Walmart policy I don't understand that one either
I have a student taking his state test in reading and, when he doesn't need me to read a question to him, I just sit here and keep busy to stay awake, so I've caught up with the blog. Lolly, I'll pass on Manitoba! If I want snow and freezing temps, I'll just visit Carolanne in Wisconsin!! Paula, overcast here in Selbyville with rain forecast for this afternoon/evening, but the temps go back into the 50s for tomorrow so we won't get snow. Cambridge (Blackwater) is farther west but also farther south so I doubt they'll get snow either. Heard on the news that one of the trails we walked on Sat. is now closed b/c of the eagles nesting.
♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! ♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! ♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LOLLY!! ♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! AND MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY MORE!!! LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!
Ok this piece of toast I just can't finish it. It isn't big at all because it is Oatmean bread by Pepperidge Farm only 45 calories a slice. I have drank a little.
Caught up on blog.
Going back to bed.
Prayers for all that need them Wanda, Lynn, Tori, Robyn & Family, JudyE, Russ, and others.
Paula, "Enjoy" doesn't even come close for either of us - we both LOVED it! We've already discussed when to go back! I'm thinking by my spring break there will be eaglets in nests and we'll have a better chance of seeing eagles flying & fishing rather than just sitting in trees b/c they'll have hungry mouths to feed!
PRINCETON — Two of Mercer County’s commissioners have stated today that there are no plans for a mass euthanasia of dogs to clear out the Mercer County Animal Shelter.
County Commissioners Mike Vinciguerra and Jay Mills addressed rumors of a mass euthanasia planned for Tuesday. The shelter has been under quarantine for distemper.
“There is no truth to that at all, period,” Vinciguerra said of the euthanasia rumors. “That is a falsehood. There has never been an order to euthanize any of the animals that were there during quarantine. The plans right now are to adopt out or rescue out the remaining animals that we have. Right now as of this morning, we had 18 left. There will not be any healthy animals euthanized. I think right now all of them are healthy.”
Mills also stated there are no plans for mass euthanasia. The shelter has been working to adopt out dogs or get them to rescue organizations so the shelter’s dog areas can be disinfected. The shelter is not accepting new dogs at this time.
“It’s a bunch of lies. We do not have any plans to euthanize a bunch of dogs,” Mills said
LOLLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN. Take a picture of your cake before you head out...
WVDANA what do you mean you felt "nauseous and then had a bolt of lightning"...what is going on? Nurse LYNN do you know about this bolt of lightning and what is it called and how do you deal with it? I sometimes have this bolt of lightning and it scares me to death...never heard of anyone else having it...I was fearing neurological disorder...HELP...It only happens when I lie down...
I'm back and settled in. I've BEEN back for an hour. Trying to get some chores done. Clothes ready to come out of dryer....and I'm going to build the fire while I'm down there! Will catch up here afterwards!
Staying after school to watch my students play basketball so will miss the evening visit. But, this just in on the area weather: ...TWO SHOTS OF HEAVIER SNOW FOR THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT... SNOW IS OVERSPREADING CAROLINE AND TALBOT COUNTIES IN MARYLAND AND SUSSEX COUNTY IN DELAWARE. Hopin' for a 2-hour delay tomorrow morning - too early in January to use a snow day! =)
Oh, Shar---THANK THE GOOD LORD. And thank you for the update! I will let the FOHO-WV(Federation of Humane Organizations) person know......don't know whether she had called them to find out if the FB post was true or not, but suspect she probably would have. Whew---I am greatly relieved. Now to see if I can find the original FB post!!
Hoda, I have no idea about the lightening bolt.......don't know what she or you are experiencing. It doesn't ring any bells in my mental annals.
Sandi, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the slop misses you!
Yes, the pick-up was on time: 12:22, arrived there at 12:47, went in at 1, was out by 1:20 and transport had me home by 2. She even let me make a quick run into the pharmacy for the Miralax. Down the hatch......pray that it works!
Thanks LYNN...my doctor does not know anything about it either and I was sent for cat scans and the neurologist can not see anything abnormal so they tell me to just observe.

I'VE ALERTED THE OTHERS.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
Hedgie (&others) RE: Wisconsin on 2012 blog
I've was afraid the pics wouldn't show, they are animated. DARN
Thanks for the new thread, Steve!
CarolAnne, thanks for the call over.
Good morning again everyone. Thank you Steve for the new thread.
Thanks CarolAnne for the call over.
CAROLANNE, for some reason, we can no longer post animated pics on here, except for JUDYE...she knows something that we don't!
BTW...THANK YOU... snail mail to follow :)
Too bad, CarolAnne.....bet the animations were FUNNY!
Thanks for call over.
They are forecasting the possibility of a little sleet here this morning....so far, nada...thank goodness...but it is only 28° and very raw and cloudy.
No prediction yesterday that it was going to get so cold overnight or I would have built a fire. Brrrr.
Good morning everybody. I am home from a really busy weekend and still tired.
Rest up EE Sharon.
I have always been thankful for the good life I have, never encountering anything insurmountable. So with that thought, my biggest dilemma is using 2 Kindle gift cards. I have always downloaded the free books from Amazon or my public library. Now I have to actually BUY some books. Just not sure what I permanently want to spend the $$ on. Pretty pathetic dilemma (even I know that). LOL
Can't get the Pooh or Piglet books on Kindle . . .maybe I'll get the hard copies . . .hmmmm.
EAGLES IN NEST!
Two eagles beaking.
Just you and me, Lynn?
Count me in
I was on the old thread. Had been posting on FB when I saw Shep at the nest. Then I saw Belle fly in.
Good morning, Jo!
Thanks for the call over CarolAnne! Glad you're not stuck in a doggie door - speaking of doggies, did you make the homemade food and are the dogs liking it? I enjoyed reading your poem but you left out that, in Wisconsin you've got cold, cold, and more cold! I have good friends who moved from bethany Beach to Madison to be near their grandson. They say they love being close to family but hate the winters! I'm afraid Wisconsin's climate wouldn't agree with me at all! I don't even like southern DE winters! I'm with Judy - could live in FL and have warm all the time!
Hoda, I did get to see a little of the morning eagle visit when I got to school and logged on. sadly, the eagles left before my students got in so all they saw was an MT nest. I keep telling them that hopefully we'll have eggs soon and then they can see an eagle in the nest all the time, even if most of the time for the first 35 days it's just sitting there keeping eggs warm.
Poof Shep.
a few seconds after he left, could hear a Red-shouldered hawk calling...wonder if Shep was chasing after it
And he's back again!
Shep back!
she whimpers, he comes back
Lots of flugging going on....
Moving flugg and more beaking.
Shep is very aggressive with his beaking
Lots of flugg!
Shep has a little white feather stuck on his beak..
Wonder if it is one of Belle's feathers from all of the beaking?
Happy Happy Birthday LOLLY
Wishing you a very special day and a
year ahead that is fantastic
Feather in Shep's beak!
They sure seem to be watchful....
I wish Belle would 'beak' it off
It's like he needs his face wiped!
Poof goes Belle
Off Belle goes....
Happy birthday, Lolly!!!
Belle has poofed.
Now Shep has poofed.
And Shep follows.
Where one goes - the other follows
Be sure to take a look at Pook's
driveway for the Mooseies........
http://moosewatch.com/
AND BOTH BACK!!!! THIS IS GETTING SERIOUS!
I need to pay attention to my meds -
Pills to take - Inhalers to use..
And they both return with only 1
stick to tug & pull - let's see who wins on this one
WOW - serious it is
Can't call them Love birds this
morning
Thanks for the Moosewatch note, Jo... I had not looked at all yet, but just did now...
Great Site !
Better for both Eagles when they go to separate corners !
Maybe they are grouchy and need breakfast !
Good morning! Wow, opened the cam and two eagles! That's the way to start a day.
Have not read the blog yet, need to go back and do that. Been on fb catching up there.
Hee Hee! We have already had over an inch of rain and it is supposed to continue today and tomorrow.
Oh Lolly - I had ordered you a sunny day! Is rain better!
Enjoy your day!
Go to old thread, Lolly, to see your b-day greetings!!! Happy, Happy!
Good to hear you are getting the rain! Is it warm enough to go out an dance??
Pretty moose at rest!
Poof Belle again.
and there you are Birthday Girl....
Happy Birthday, Dear Lolly and Happy Year to Follow xoxo ♥
Enjoy your day with family...and guard that Cheesecake with your life !!
It is 45, do not think I will go out and dance. Think I will just look out and giggle! Thanks, Jo, for the sunny day order, but really the rain is just wonderful!
Poof.....goes one eagle.
And Shep is left alone!
Thank you, Margy!
things to do...like everyone else...
Breakfast is complete here and coffee tastes right nice this morning
ttfn xoxo ♥
I think I will share the cheese cake and leave a big chunk of it in Denton. LOL Got on the scales this morning. The weekend was not good for me. Yikes!
Belle back!

Belle back!
Lots of eagle time this morning. And we have them both again.
Now only one.
Heavens what a busy day at the Sycamore Palace !!
Whoops, stuttering!
Lolly,HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I thought, oh, HP, but instead he flew off. Grrrrrr!
I was checking out Robyn's FB -
No report since last evening and Hedgie
had brought that one over.
I may have missed some movement in the nest - Looks like Belle is there now
(smudge on her neck feathers)
Thank you, Suzan!
Good Morning, all!
Winter is not over yet, LOL
Found this really neat eagle release story...
Eagle Release
Do not know what is going on with Shep. I think last year he had more attempts at HP than this year.
MT nest
Nice, long sleep last night. But I am still a little drowsy.
Need to go get some books for Hunter at the public library. He has been telling me that he is reading a book at school. I asked about bringing the book home to read. Says he cannot do that. So I ask more questions. He can't bring the book home because he is afraid Flash might chew it up.
Hmm, I have assured the teacher that we do not avoid having books at home because of the fear
of dog chewing. I think there is a con game going on here.
lol Hunter has all the right answers!
Love your stories, Shirley
SANDI - I am remiss. Should have updated you on the doggie food.
They love it. One cat even comes and waits patiently for a pinch of it each time I feed the dogs.
They have been eating it for a week now. They went "cold turkey" LOL from eating dry dog food to the homemade.
No digestive problems or anything. Thanks again for sharing!
As for the Wisconsin cold - guess you have to be born here to understand/appreciate it.
Each season has its own beauty that we've come to appreciate.
We even have the funniest commercials: Snowy scene, guy making his way thru the snowy roads.
Says: I bet in FL its 85° right now (long pause) . . . . those poor people :o)
Another shows a guy clearing several inches of snow off his car. Says: I wonder why people live in WI (long pause) . . .must be for the winters!
I do love it here, only regret is I can't live life at the cottage 24/7.
Will be interesting to get the students prospective once they begin eagle viewing in earnest.
I see I just missed a visit!
Paula, thanks for sharing the eagle release. Really an awesome story. My mother developed a similar disease if not the same. Together we all opted for Mother not to receive frequent transfusions. She was 90. Thinking of her today and missing her.
Happy Birthday Lolly!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
Thanks, Paula. Heading back to the old thread to read the blog. bbialw
Clunk! Sloppy landing up there on the branch - noisy!
My thought are of JudyE at her work
today. I can get a very 'sick' tummy
thinking about what may come her way.
♥ to Judy
Have finished reading the blog now. Thanks for all the birthday greetings.
CarolAnne, enjoyed the poem. LOL However, the pictures did not show up. Mansfield, huh? Just a few miles away!
Fingers crossed & heavenward thoughts for JudyE at work.
Lolly, TX friend is cardiologist - works out of Dallas/Fort Worth area. Lives in Mansfield w/family. Wife & daughter raise & show quarter horses.
Thanks Steve-I'm okay with the winter that never was...
Need to take a break and get my morning started!
What was that? Sounded and looked (shaking camera) like a woodpecker
Oh Shirley-too funny about the dog chewing (not) books. Any excuse will do! LOL!
Actually it was Wanda who posted Robyn's FB entry, Jo!
Those commercials would NEVER play around here, C/A!!!! LOL!
Jo, I know what you mean about your tummy.....the same way we feel about Tori....anxious for news, but fearful at the same time.
Hope DanaWV is okay. But the BUG is going around big time---don't think she had food poisoning. I'm sure the virus caught her.
Shirley, Hunter is a very creative boy!!! ROFL!
What is on your plate today, Lynn
Sharon, my sister, just called. They have already received over 4 inches of rain. Wahoooo!
I am off to start my day. Have finished my coffee. It is my kind of day....leisure!
I like that Steve "The Winter that never was". Now watch us get a huge snow fall. Steve you better be prepared to shovel us out lol
Well if this is a virus it is one I have never had before. Up all night pains trying to bulph. Felt like at first hital hernia acted up. Nausa and then a bolt of lightening. Thankful made it to bathroom. That has never stopped yet.
Will try a piece of oatmeal toast. If I put water in-water out.
My fingers swelled so big had to get rings off. They were cutting into my fingers. Fingers still swelled.
I'm still fighting it though.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LOLLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (and give that cheesecake away lol)
Sweet story, Paula. Thanks for sharing that.
LOLLY
Here's an avatar for you!
Jo, literally or figuratively??? Grilled PB&J with bacon WAS on my brunch plate---yum!! and radiation at 1.....ready now in case the idiots show up early for a change!!
And there's DanaWV....sorry you are still feeling so puny. Tea and crackers or toast is a good place to start.....nibble and sip only.
It is the season - Whoo Hoo

NBG Eagle Pair First Observed Mating Jan 9
Overnight Jan 8/9 both the adult bald eagles stayed in the nest tree, with the male in the nest and the female on the back branch. Just before 7:00am the male moved to the back branch next to the female and at 7:02 the pair mated for the first time this breeding season.
That's cool, CarolAnne
Lynn - I just hope they come for sure!
Has your mail carrier and newspaper delivery come to your door?
DanaWV = sure hope you shake this
Like Lynn said - it is going around & it doesn't seem to go away as fast as you would like! Hope your Mom is doing ok.
DanaWV, hope you feel birding.
Oh, almost forgot my bird report from Paradise...saw a heron and a redtail flying over the beach...and a pair of mallards. My neighbor Sue Ellen said an immature eagle has been in the tree next to my house every morning when she goes out. She also saw an adult eagle trying to get a loon out of the water. The loon would dive for long periods to evade the eagle. The eagle finally gave up.
Thanks Paula that was an good article. Happy for that lady.
Thanks Lynn that is what I am going to try to force my to do. Just don't really want anything. I know I need to keep hydrated though.
Mema Jo thanks for posting - eggs on their way for NBG.
My peanut butter is staying on my
banana - ♥
Graupel here this Graupel. Not snow, not sleet, but in between the two.
Going to shut 'er down now. Hasta luego.
Oh Shirley - looked it up and now I know
what you are getting - soft hail!
P.S. Graupel?? Never heard that term!
Paula, glad you had some sightings.
Smart loon!
Hurray for NBG! I bet there's been HP beofre now that they just aren't aware of!!
Paula,
I always wondered how our loon pair & eagle pair could co-exist on our lake. Now that makes sense.
Good Afternoon!
DanaWV, I hope you get to feeling better very soon.
JO, thanks for the NBG HP post! That's so wonderful!
Paula, headed to read about the eagle release...it's not going to make me cry is it?
Ha Ha cute Paula that eagle better go for a fish and stop wasting its time with the loon.
You can never have too many birthday wishes, so . . .
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU, LOLLY!
Oh I sure hope things go well for JudyE at work....prayers.
Appreciate your avatar, CarolAnne. I am loving it. Keep looking outside and it keeps coming down! Praise the Lord! They are now saying that Texas weather last year was the driest ever! Do not, DO NOT, want a repeat.
No Lori, it's a good release story!
Thank you, Lori! Nope, can not have too many wishes! ☺ Hee Hee! Rain is coming down harder. Best birthday ever!!!
Snowing now.
All the feed pans at Moosewatch are
MT........
Glad you are enjoying the rain, Lolly :)
Lynn seen the link on the other thread. About the mass killing. I'll bet that is not a full list. Terrible!!!!!
I am planning another road trip for us all. Received a mailing from Georgia Tech director of travel. Now, only 20 of us can go, so get your name in fast. We are going to "The Polar Bears of Churchill." We are going to Churchill, Manitoba to watch the bears play in the snow and watch the freezing of Hudson Bay. All from the safety and comfort of our custom designed Tundra Buggy. All for only $4,995! Oh, and we get to go dog sledding, too. So, mark your calendars now for Oct 17-22!!
Won't we have fun!☺
I'm so sorry, Lolly - My calendar is
full! :(
Lolly, I do think that would be a cool trip. I love polar bears!
Shirley - I thought it would come to that but was hoping for Just Rain.
I keep checking out my windows - nothing
yet.......
Jordan lake cam is up, but picture is pretty rough. Should be a hatch in the next couple of days.
Home for lunch and find a new thread with 112 comments already wow I guess no news is good news Haven't been called in to the office to speak to ERIC the boss and on the other hand I ham not giving up my computer today at lunch Eric not the boss but an associate that works on it says bring in the morning and he goes home at lunch and he will bring it back at lunch so i will not be without a puter He laughed at the last time I was with out it that I was jonesen for a puter LOL Ok now I need to start reading
opps forgot to check the email to me box
Thought parent at Jordan brought a fish, but it was just a stick. Still 2 eggs.
Hard to tell from the reception whether that was something stuck to the egg or a pip on the one end
RE: TUNDRA TRIP
There will be snow & freezing temps . . .just saying! Before you get to excited about it! LOL
Sort of like Wisconsin weather!
Good Morning/Afternoon, Everyone!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLLY!!! GLAD YOU'RE FINALLY GETTING SOME RAIN, AND HOPE THIS WILL BE A FANTASTIC DAY FOR YOU!!!
I've been on the phone for most of the morning--have a story of how GOD works in mysterious ways!
Several months ago, we switched from AT&T to MCI for our land line phone service. We had been paying almost $100/mo. for AT&T, and MCI offered the same service for about $45/mo.
A couple of weeks ago I got a telemarketing call from AT&T. (Answered it by mistake; had been expecting a call from someone else, and didn't check the caller ID.) The guy said that we qualified for Lifeline service, and would only pay $11 or so per month, with caller ID and an unlisted phone #. I told him several times that I was sure we didn't qualify for Lifeline phone service, but he INSISTED that since we were collecting Social Security that we qualified. My "gut" was telling me not to switch over from MCI, but he talked me into doing it. As I mentioned, we had been paying about $45.00/mo. for land line service with MCI. Had all kinds of problems with it--went 3 weeks or more without any service when heavy rains came, and have heard echoing of our voices and other conversations in the background while on the phone. Well, we got an application for Lifeline phone service in the mail, and turns out you have to be collecting SSI or Disability, OR have an extremely low income to qualify for it. Kubby was really angry, and I was not happy, either. Called AT&T C/S today, and explained what happened. The gal was really nice, and we ended up making a deal I can live with! For local service, call waiting & caller ID, and an unlisted #, it's $30 or $31/mo. Our CELL phones have unlimited FREE long distance anywhere in the US, so that's covered. Since we're back to AT&T, we have absolutely NO echos or other problems, and we will be paying more than $10 less than we had been!!! Hooray! Praise GOD! Who'd have thought....
UPDATE FROM ROBYN:
Robyn Ann Schonhans
another day in ICU day 5 tori's numbers are good but she fevered overnight and it recently broke, she also deveopd a small hole in lung but at the moment they are not overly concerned as it can close itself. it happened due to pressure going in but those pressures dropped so we are still moving forward, slowly but moving
Just caught up on blog chat and eagle visits. Enjoyed all !
Here's a big hug for your birthday, LOLLY. {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{LOLLY}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Enjoy every moment !
I need to call my dil, Beth, on this, her 51st birthday. Hoping my BFF in Tucson is having a Happy Birthday, too. Good people born on this day !
CarolAnne the pictures only show a red x in the corner ;^( Whats up with that????
We are haveing another heat wave in the lo 80's now but odd my house is chilly no ac on either was chilly last nite I guess hasn;t heated up the house yet I did break down and eat some lunch before I can home but could only get down a half a mcdouble and maybe 1/3 of the fries
WANDA, thanks for relaying ROBYN's messages. What a roller coaster of emotions Tori's family is going through. Praying non-stop !
oh as I come to the new thread I see where CA was aware of the pic not showing up Maybe I should read whole blog before I comment
NOT HAHA
He sure is there for us when we need Him the most! Great news, Andy!
Glad to see you here, JudyE. Hope you
won't even be called into the office for a discussion! ♥
JudyE - The pics are animated. I've been told, since posting, only you have the magic touch to make animated pics show up & work.
Looking forward to LYNN's next message from home. Hope the treatment and transportation went smoothly today !
Thanks Wanda for Tori's update.
As long as she is still moving forward!
Have been praying for Tori & Robyn, Lynn, and for WV Dana. Hope WV Dana improves rapidly, and doesn't get dehydrated!
Glad that Boomer is still doing OK!
Know what it's like to have a canine vacuum in the house--Emma can find the TINIEST crumbs of forbidden substances, paper clips, you name it! Eternal vigilance is called for, for sure!
Well, speaking of Emma, she's wanting some lap time, so guess I'd better run for now. Will be praying for everyone here to have a fantastic Monday, including JudyE--I SO understand your anxiety over the stuff going on at work, and pray for your peace in that situation!
Oh, golly--wish you all could see the pitiful look I'm getting from poor, abused Emma right now!LOL She wants my lap, NOW, and is pouring it on pretty thickly! Will BBL... HAGD, everyone! :o]
RE: THOSE PHONE COMPANIES
I always wonder why they can't give us the best deal right from the beginning. It usually takes leaving or trying to leave that the really good deals come out.
OK this is the eagle that I did save in my puter I deleted all the other moving ones like the holidays ones I went looking for the link to this and don't remember the name of it either I did post the link a long time ago but don't know when it was even to go look for it I will keep looking to see if I can find the link that works on the blog I can't even remember who started it when I got involved in it I think it was Lori or DanaMo that started the animated and I googled and found a site that I can't find at all again
yep it works
yep it works
ANDY, glad your communiction problem turned out so well. I went away from AT&T for a while, using Sprint, but returned for much lower rates. Guess there's a good reason they are the giants in the field.
Good poem, CAROLANNE. Nothing wrong with a little chauvenism for one's own State. It's good when we love the State we're in and the state we're in as well !
Kay, very f unny on your email about giving pills to our pets...CATS are the WORST!
JUDY, I'm not a FB'er but have always heard, "don't say or put anything on there you do not want Everyone to read or that you wouldn't say to a person face to face". It is a public domain. Same advice works here on our blog, too, for anyone can lurk and learn. Guess private items should be conveyed by e-mail and with crossed fingers even there !
Hmmm wonder if it's snowing at BW
CA thanks for taking pitty on us here in Fl LOL
JO you are so sweet but don't get your tummy in a whirl its bad enough mine is
CA your avatar looks like from Morton Salt but in red
and DANAwvgal thanks also for thinking of me even when you are so sick I hope you feel better soon I am almost 100% with my cold am amazed its gone so fast That zicam does work but is nasty big time
SHIRLEY has snow BRRRRR
Andy good deal you worked out with AT&T.
Thank you Wanda for the update on Tori...it scares me...prayers that Tori will soon get those new lungs..Please Lord.
Lynn I loved the video and music of the flying eagle. I had not seen that one before. Thank you for posting it. (:
I have caught up and its almost time to hit the road again I punched out at 12:29 put have 17clicks I have to take off don't want to get in trouble for being over in time enough to worry about My dept mgr and zone mgr and upset also with this but they can't do anything either about it this man is tough by the book a control freak He is making all our mgrs wear suits Which is not a Walmart policy I don't understand that one either
Must get to some little household chores and prep for PT later this afternoon. HAGD and I'll BBL.
Prayers for Tori, Lynn and oall with colds or aches and pains.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
thanks for the update on Tori Wanda
hole in lung and nothing to worry about wow I guess the body does heal it self to a certain point
OK I am out of here OTWIG see you after work
YEAH I will not be without a computer I love it He is such a nice guy
Do not want avatar to look like Morton salt. SALT bad for blood pressure, have changed avatar to all rain for Lolly.
Back for a moment with a reminder to keep those candles glowing for LYNN !
The human body is a marvel. Seth ws born with three holes in his little heart--they gradually closed on their own and were gone by the time he was 3.
Okay, I've had my MARGY moment. See ya latah !
I have a student taking his state test in reading and, when he doesn't need me to read a question to him, I just sit here and keep busy to stay awake, so I've caught up with the blog.
Lolly, I'll pass on Manitoba! If I want snow and freezing temps, I'll just visit Carolanne in Wisconsin!!
Paula, overcast here in Selbyville with rain forecast for this afternoon/evening, but the temps go back into the 50s for tomorrow so we won't get snow. Cambridge (Blackwater) is farther west but also farther south so I doubt they'll get snow either. Heard on the news that one of the trails we walked on Sat. is now closed b/c of the eagles nesting.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LOLLY!!! HAVE THE BEST!!
We have SNOW. Lovely, don't know if it will stick.
♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! ♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! ♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LOLLY!! ♪♫♪♫♪HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! AND MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY MORE!!! LOVE YOU LOTS!!!!
Thanks, Sandi, must just be the way the ground looks on the new cam. Did you enjoy BW on Saturday? How about Dennis?
Ok this piece of toast I just can't finish it. It isn't big at all because it is Oatmean bread by Pepperidge Farm only 45 calories a slice. I have drank a little.
Caught up on blog.
Going back to bed.
Prayers for all that need them Wanda, Lynn, Tori, Robyn & Family, JudyE, Russ, and others.
Wow! More birthday greetings. Thanks!
OMG The cheesecake is ready. It is to die for. Hurry on over!
Paula, "Enjoy" doesn't even come close for either of us - we both LOVED it! We've already discussed when to go back! I'm thinking by my spring break there will be eaglets in nests and we'll have a better chance of seeing eagles flying & fishing rather than just sitting in trees b/c they'll have hungry mouths to feed!
Sandi, glad you loved BW!!
Lolly, I'll call Hoda & Linda then we'll be right over! ♥
For when Lynn comes back:
From BDTOnline
PRINCETON — Two of Mercer County’s commissioners have stated today that there are no plans for a mass euthanasia of dogs to clear out the Mercer County Animal Shelter.
County Commissioners Mike Vinciguerra and Jay Mills addressed rumors of a mass euthanasia planned for Tuesday. The shelter has been under quarantine for distemper.
“There is no truth to that at all, period,” Vinciguerra said of the euthanasia rumors. “That is a falsehood. There has never been an order to euthanize any of the animals that were there during quarantine. The plans right now are to adopt out or rescue out the remaining animals that we have. Right now as of this morning, we had 18 left. There will not be any healthy animals euthanized. I think right now all of them are healthy.”
Mills also stated there are no plans for mass euthanasia. The shelter has been working to adopt out dogs or get them to rescue organizations so the shelter’s dog areas can be disinfected. The shelter is not accepting new dogs at this time.
“It’s a bunch of lies. We do not have any plans to euthanize a bunch of dogs,” Mills said
Caught up on the new thread...THANKS STEVE.
LOLLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN. Take a picture of your cake before you head out...
WVDANA what do you mean you felt "nauseous and then had a bolt of lightning"...what is going on? Nurse LYNN do you know about this bolt of lightning and what is it called and how do you deal with it? I sometimes have this bolt of lightning and it scares me to death...never heard of anyone else having it...I was fearing neurological disorder...HELP...It only happens when I lie down...
LOL LORI I am on my way to TEXAS...
Someone up there is making a lot of noise and movement.
Wahoooo! I am so excited about your coming! Truthfully, though, would that not be the most absolute fun!!!
Wow, something is on the cam. Heard it and then it swayed back and forth.
We are heading out now,. I am leaving the cheese cake in the springform pan until this evening. Will get a picture of it.
I will see you guys later. I am off to see my boys. Nothing could be better, well, if Zacharooski! was there it would be better!
I'm back and settled in. I've BEEN back for an hour. Trying to get some chores done. Clothes ready to come out of dryer....and I'm going to build the fire while I'm down there!
Will catch up here afterwards!
Staying after school to watch my students play basketball so will miss the evening visit. But, this just in on the area weather:
...TWO SHOTS OF HEAVIER SNOW FOR THE REGION THROUGH TONIGHT... SNOW IS OVERSPREADING CAROLINE AND TALBOT COUNTIES IN MARYLAND AND SUSSEX COUNTY IN DELAWARE.
Hopin' for a 2-hour delay tomorrow morning - too early in January to use a snow day! =)
Oh, Shar---THANK THE GOOD LORD. And thank you for the update! I will let the FOHO-WV(Federation of Humane Organizations) person know......don't know whether she had called them to find out if the FB post was true or not, but suspect she probably would have.
Whew---I am greatly relieved. Now to see if I can find the original FB post!!
I found it...and two other posts about it, too, on The Patrick Miracle page. Posted the article on all three!
Hoda, I have no idea about the lightening bolt.......don't know what she or you are experiencing. It doesn't ring any bells in my mental annals.
Sandi, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the slop misses you!
Yes, the pick-up was on time: 12:22, arrived there at 12:47, went in at 1, was out by 1:20 and transport had me home by 2. She even let me make a quick run into the pharmacy for the Miralax. Down the hatch......pray that it works!
Jordan Lake cam is very bad reception.....hope they get that fixed quickly before the hatching starts! We'll never make out a pip like this!
Safe trip, Lolly. Enjoy your celebration!!
EAGLE IN THE NEST
