STEVE, thanks for the new thread and thanks, too, to that gal with a nice new feather, JO, for calling us over!
JO, thinking of you on this CT day---prayers and positive thoughts!!!
JUDIE, it's Thursday---hope you didn't miss an appt. since Wednesday has come and gone.
SHIRLEY, I agree with the consensus, Allie has an angelic look about her! Hope it was the green light shining on your porch last night.☺
I've nuttin' but nuttin' to say except that Malcolm will soon be here to spend the day. Heavy winds--30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 50----yikes, we won't be outside much today!
Prayers for all in need!!! Praying for the answers Tori needs soon!!!
Good morning eagle buds Just got back from the bank, work and now have to go to the police dept
Long story short someone has been using my checking acct to pay their bills elec, phone and satellite in GA going to file a complaint with police I want to prosecute these people Their names are on my statement Bank will refund me the $ but just a hassle have to do all this stuff Had to change my direct deposit at work and the bank will do the SSN office but advised me to also call
THANKS STEVE FOR THE SHINY NEW THREAD AND THE CALL OVER JO OFF I GO to get er done plus dinner later at Jordyn school at 5 and then back to the bank in the am I set up auto bill pay with them for a safer way of banking and a saving acct there also So will also need to go to other bank close that acct to transfer funds to new one I will only have one bank then
Just back from the police dept and filed a report and they are as excited as I am to find these people since their names are all over my statements
So funny I just got a comment on one of my blogs from two years ago in regards to the christmas trees I crochet I guess she google it looking for the directions and the blog I put it on comes up so she sent me a comment and I told her I would be happy to send it to her if she can't see it from the blog page
Lolly, I am so sorry that you cannot light a candle. Just spent some time on my iPad trying to figure it out and wonder why you just can't tap and voila! Bet it is something simple we are missing.
Jo, we'll be excited to hear of your great news tomorrow!
Hi all from school. Have spent the day helping the special ed. coordinator. She will have my new assignment by Monday morning.
Jo, sending prayers and positive energy your way for excellent news about today's CT scan!
Judy, what a pain! Did the bank offer any suggestion about how this person got your account information? The only checks I write are the 2 each month to get my nails done. All bills are paid through my online banking and purchases are all put on 1 Visa card which is paid in full every month. Setting up the online bill pay will take a little time but it's worth it.
SANDI I asked the bank if I should go to the police they said that they can't give legal advise But if it were them they would go I said I want to see these people prosecuted for theft so I went to the police station and did file the report the officer was so sweet and nice and funny. We joked around to where he turned off the lights and turned on his flash light that has stobe light so funny the reason is when I got there I was first at 1045 then a couple came in right after me fraud on their bank and then three people came in for check fraud a former worker cashed their pay checks so the place was hopping The office said that they will do all they can and he said he would let me know if anything comes up. He himself said he is curious with the names being right on the statement as well as their acct # there are two completely different people on seems to be husband and wife same last names and the other has a different name and just showed up in the last month
I only write 4 checks a month to my bills Elec, Cable, Water and Credit card which will be paid off shortly On occasion to the car insurance, home insurance and taxes once a year But I have set up online banking I am going down tomorrow with my bills and he is going to show me I think I have figured it out myself when I confirmed the email they sent me after I got home But since I already made the appt I will go down, and I want to let them know I did got to the police and have a case number also. He explained to me that with the online pay through the bank that my acct # does not get sent that they use their checks or electronically and my acct doesn't show up at all on any payments But if you set up with each individual company then your acct number is in their system and fraud could happen also Somehow someone got a hold of one of my checks to get the info routing # and acct # but I have no checks missing and we can't figure out how Like they said maybe someone who works where my checks were sent A inside job of sorts But I am not going to fret over it So happy I found it before the middle of the month because that is when they seem to be applying the payments
and I do feel like a IDIOT for not looking at my statements better I open them and look at the 3-4 checks that were cleared copy on back but never go line by line of the ATM charges
So I just have to wait 10-14 to get my money back in the acct and will just have to wait The officer said it will be up to the bank to prosecute since I will be getting my money back but he would try to let me know
Angie is going to the school at 330 I am going to call her to see if she wants me to come up or not
I still need to call the SSN office although the bank said they will do the leg work but I should call also just to double check I just hate being on infamous hold with them LOL and as far as going down that is a long long wait the last time I was there We are FL home of the elderly
I am thinking of going to BOA and canceling my saving acct there pull out the $$ and pay off the rest of that credit card that was up there I have until March with the no interest acct balance transfer I did Still haven't decided weather to or not Then I am going to cancel that card being I just got in in March since I opened up a cc with my bank with my checking acct. I was advised not to cancel my one old cc because I have had it for so many years although I don't use it and I don't want three cards since I really don't use them any longer
He did also advise to open up a line of credit home equity one I won't have to pay anything unless I use it For just in case of emergency happen I will have to think on that This way it is already there and won't have to go through the process if I ever need it Something to ponder on When he mentioned it stupid me said I don't want to borrow any money then that is when he explained, it is for just in case that I won't get any money unless I want it down the road So much to learn
OK book is written as you can see I can go on and on LOL as the police officer also found about LOL Now that he know where I work he said he is going to look me up
SANDI have you heard anything on SAM just wondering I hope he gets the help he need so sad.
OH and if I pay off the credit card with the $ I take out of the saving and transfer then I will deposit most on my paycheck into my new saving acct I also got the thing for each time I use my debit card a dollar is put in it
I have been home and had lunch. I didn't need contrast or the 2 large cups of drinking beforehand - she said that is when your stomach is included in the scan - this was just for the lungs! Tomorrow is when I will get the report. It would be so wonderful to hear that my lungs don't have any cancer spots - just praying I can accept anything I'm told.
Sandi - glad your day is going well and hope you enjoy your new assignment.
Judy do you have your banking account on line. We do and we are paperless - we keep tabs on the account whenever we want. Totally secure server. I write very few checks - 1 a month to church and/or some special services. So far it is all good.
JO I didn't have online banking until today I am going down tomorrow and he will show me the rope I think I have figured it out on my own but since I made the appt I might as well go down since I do want to give them the claim # from the police dept and it is typed somewhere above in the book I published LOL
Headin out the door I called Angie and no answer. So I texted her if she wanted me to come earlier that 5 for the meal to help just as I hit send she texted me and said to come down if I wanted to so I will go see if they need help.
better than sitting here on butt LOL and did you all notice that the camera is doing the strobe light on and off through out the day not often but on and off They must be working on it Maybe
Jo, thinking of you and sending a prayer for an all clear report.
JudyE, very sorry for all the trouble with bank fraud. Please do all you can to protect your financial and credit information and keep it private. Hope your evening is enjoyable.
Sandi, looking forward to your new assignment. Can only be positive after the experience with Sam.
Happy to know that Glo has new brakes with winter weather on the way.
Kay, I had hoped you would keep the high wind over in your neighborhood but no, you just had to send it on to me and Shirley. Did get some sunshine this afternoon.
Bowling today. We almost got to see a perfect game--on the other team. Seven consecutive strikes. She had only two frames that were not strikes. But we won one game, tied one, and had the most total pins because of our handicap. That team is in first place, and the bowler with all of the strikes is a bowling instructor.
Had to stop Hunter before he ate up all of the food I had planned for dinner. Maybe I should fix him an early dinner. Wouldn't want to see the kid starve.
Tomorrow, I am going with the Riffe women for their fall weekend getaway. We are going to stay in a 3-story cabin near Asheville, NC, and going to the Biltmore Estates on Saturday. It is going to be good to get away.
I would like to report that T-Bird has a new Basset hound (well, me too). His name is George and I think he is about 1-1/2 years old. He was found wandering around a campground in Tennessee in July and I have no doubt it was in God's plan that he end up here. He is such a great dog. Hard not to compare him to Buddy but it's getting better.
Hi Jo. Yes, I got my "do" did on Wednesday. Problem is that I forgot that Wednesday ended and Thursday began. Hope I catch up by tomorrow which should be Monday.
Shirley, you might want to consider a loan designated as the Hunter Food Fund. A good day bowling. According to Jo, you should have plenty of turkey for Hunter.
Jo says she and Mr. Jo were out for an hour. Hmmmmm. Wonder if that involved an ice cream cone?
Did see a few minutes of the royal pair's visit earlier. They are just so lovely.
Wishing Shar and Bev and all the Rife ladies and wonderful weekend.
Judy, hope you get all of that bank stuff cleared up ASAP!
Shirley, perhaps Hunter is having a growth spurt. Maybe you could see about bowling over some Turkeys for him to eat...
Someone please light a FRIDAY signal fire for Judie in the AM so she knows where to go.
WOW the wind is really picking up. Gust for the next 2 day up to 35-40mph! The cat keeps wanting to go out on the deck so he can walk up on the roof but he isn't allowed in this wind. He might see a shiny garland and try to catch it....
Judie, I haven't read this yet but it looks interesting and I thought you might like to read it.... The Next Mass Shooters
Must get in a nice hot steamy shower. I have a bronchitis, pretty sure allergy or asthma induced. Have been coughing like mad for 2 full days and not getting much sleep. Drinking extra fluids, taking Mucinex, etc., and I have no fever, but I have 2 full days of classes this weekend and while I don't feel too bad other than tired and can't catch my breath if I move too much, I sound like I belong in a TB ward. So I'll go to the Dr in the AM to see if we can do something about this. SO annoying!
Sounds like a visit to the doctor is a good idea, Lynne. You could have pneumonia.
I did fix Hunter's dinner a little earlier than usual. He gobbled it up. I have put a bowl of apples, oranges, and bananas on the coffee table in hopes that he might enjoy some fruit. I have been munching on the apples.
Jo, you said something about finding out what someone with diabetes should not eat. Kathryn did go to some classes about the appropriate diet for diabetics. The big thing she was told to avoid was fruit juice. We do not even buy orange juice.
Cheeto came into my room a little while ago. I kind of think he is ready for sleep. I am about ready to wind down myself. SED, everyone. God bless and good night.
Lynne2 - It sure sounds like you should see a Pulmonary doc. Not sure why you know your have bronchitis other then the coughing. Does Mucinex help you cough up the junk in your lungs and is it colored or clear. Are you taking any Tussin DM cough medicine... When you say that moving around causes SOB (Shortness of Breath) sounds like pneumonia. I'll be happy t o hear from you after your dr appointment - I'll quit asking so many questions cause you are probably in that hot steamy shower. Sleep tonight propped up on a couple pillows or sleep in a recliner if you have one -just elevate your head. AND call 911 if you find you can't breathe well............ You take care.
Calling out for today since it's a teacher inservice day to work on grades.
Sam is being considered for a special school (High Road) for adolescents with emotional disabilities. The district will cover 30% of the cost if the state will cover the other 70%. If the state does not agree to pay their portion, then he will be placed at the alternative school within our district. High Road School would be the better placement - a decision won't be made until December. Until then Sam will be on homebound instruction. Good luck to the teacher who agrees to take on THAT responsibility! I know who won't be doing it!!
Getting a haircut at 10am, then probably raking more leaves and pine needles that have covered the driveways.
Jo, prayers for you for good results today.
Lynne2, get thee to the doctor!
Prayers also for Tori.
Still only 1 eagle in the nest - windy morning in Shepherdstown. Nest is rockin and rollin.
Good Red Friday morning to all ♥ Stay our of the wind tunnel today or you will get blown away for sure. My trees are dancing in this wind and leaves are being blown out of the yard - into the neighbors' of course and that isn't good. I am anxious to find some photos or videos of the stick fight I missed. Need to see if Belle is still Queen.
I am praying that our Lynne2 had a good night & that a dr appointment is scheduled. Prayers for Tori as she awaits news from her Transplant team.
I went into set up bill pay and first I had them check to see if my sister and electric bill cleared since they closed the old acct bobby said didn't we transfer all your acct yesterday to the new acct then that is when he realized it was the fraud team credited the money back to me and more than I thought because this months statement wasnt included yesterday. Oh I hope they catch them I hope the names on my statement are their real names. I want to convict them. They seem to working quickly The bank said that they would notify me and the police also Hate to say it but I can't wait. Is that mean or what
I googled the word "today" and so I'm pretty sure this is Friday and a sunshiny windy Friday it is. Next I'll check the date on the newspaper.
Lynne2, get yourself to a doctor, please. I'll check into the book as I had not heard of it. Of course, the title is provocative but then, if I were writing on that topic, Sam would be good for a chapter.
Sandi, speaking of Sam, hope he gets the High Road placement. Please have a lovely day at home with your girls.
Shirley, seems an early dinner, or substantial snack, for Hunter might just be the solution. As for the diabetic diet, stop by the library when (if) you have a few extra minutes and browse through a diabetic cookbook.
Jo, if you stop by before the doctor appointment, know I'm sending a little prayer along with you.
Good morning! Busy day yesterday going to be busy today and tomorrow! Was given tickets to the TCU game for tomorrow morn! Then Michael called. He and Zach are spending the night and he is going to try to get tickets!
After the game, I have to bake for dessert auction, the have another game at 9:00! I will be exhausted when I finally fall in bed!
Yes, Sandi, feel sorry for any home teachers dealing with Sam! Our local alternative school is great! Hope Sam gets the best placement for him.
Rain is predicted, Think I will head out and mulch leaves.
Well I am no longer a bank virgin LOL I just did my bills on line with my bank paid my house taxes for the year when I came home and it was easy buy why am I nervous when I do it like butterfly and anxious feeling Keep checking and double checking acct info and address to make sure no mistakes I guess The neat thing is they send Wells Fargo checks out not mine I like that
now to go do somethings before I have to go to Angie work and then pick up Jordyn
Good Friday the 13th morning! JUDYE: that check should have cleared. I try to make it a policy to drop those things asap so they aren’t floating around. So sorry that all this nonsense has happened to you!!! I love online banking. Mostly because I can get up every single day and check my account and know what is going on. I know what has cleared, what hasn’t, etc. Bill pay is quick simple and easy. I don’t even own a check and haven’t for a long time now. I just send things out via bill pay. Congrats and welcome the the 21st century (and I won’t tell mom you’re not a bank virgin, lol) When I do bill pay, my bank has a screen where you can double check to whom, how much etc. It also shows a total amount paid and I often print that screen (control P) for my own records. Just a thought.
Thinking of Sam, and the other Sam’s in the world…..hoping they find the help that they need….so sad. Work is slow slow slow again today. I had an 8 a.m. and a noon. I will head back shortly and act like I’m working. It is beautiful out so this p.m. I plan to work outside again. I ordered my holiday cards today and paid for them with money from my savings catcher! Nothing out of pocket, go ME! It was chilly this morning, 45. Going into the low 30’s tonight. Same for tomorrow. FEELS like November now! I put the bird feeder out and filled it. The chickadees have already located it and chastised me as I walked past it when I came home. How DARE I interrupt their feeding frenzy! Will check in later! Everyone, have a great day> holding all close in my heart and thoughts for their highest and greatest good!
Missed the nest action this morning--actually slept in.
Judy, you will love the online banking. The only time I had a problem was due to my error. I was in a hurry and didn't double check before I clicked pay bills, nor check my receipt. I added another number to amount paid which over drew me by a considerable amount. Fortunately, the bank called me and I was able to transfer funds from savings to cover the error and the company i overpaid sent me a large check. It was a hassle, but taught me to double check every transaction.
Good morning! Geez Janet, I hadn't realized it was Friday the 13th til you mentioned it!
Dr visit over, bronchial asthma diagnosis, probably from a virus, could be allergy (my guess...this used to happen to me every fall and more than once I missed a Thanksgiving dinner. Always seemed to coincide with leaf clean up!) need rest, have cough meds, keep drinking lots of fluids, must comply with instructions or risk pneumonia. Must call Monday if cough meds not helping. Cough med has codine....oh brother. This on the heels of the oxycodone for the kidney stone. Hopefully it won't make me stupid Lynne! I'll let you know!
Thanks for checking in LYNNE2 and hope the new meds don't make you loopy any more that you are LOL JK
funny on the online bank the payee section wasn't long enough for Diane Nelson, CFC Pinellas County Tax Collector It would only that the amount of the later Pinellas County Tax Collector. Then under that was a nickname area so I put Diane Nelson, CFC in that spot I hope that will work I guess I will find out and I know before that had to be on it when I personally wrote them out had a hard time writing that all on the one line also LOL
I am thinking about not ordering checks also since I am doing online and YES I love it because I can go back the past year and look at my acct Both accts are there and both listed separately until I get this cleared up I just have to remember to click on the new one and not try to pay anything on the old one It is only being left open for deposits work and SSN office just in case since the SSN check should be hitting in the next week I like that they did that also
I still would love to see their faces when there bills bounce back to them
I have made a file and put everything from the past couple of days just in case I have to go to court instead of filing them normally
Good Friday the 13th Afternoon Eagle Buds!!! May you be blessed with Good Luck only!!!
JO, Mega-prayers in progress!
LYNNE2, glad you checked in with the the doc--follow all those orders in order to get back in the pink!
SHIRLEY, thank goodness for bowling handicapping! I'd have found bowling with an instructor very intimidating. Hunter has a long way to go before his growing boy appetite begins to level off---but then you've raised boys!
SUZAN, Thx for reporting on the "cute" visit with Belle and Shep yesterday afternoon! And, Thx to SHAR and JUDY for the mornings report!
SANDI, hope the new assignment is easier than the last and that Sam gets into High Road. Oh, boy, poor homebound teacher! I hope it pays really good money!
JUDY, I see your banking woes are over. Protecting one's privacy is such an important ongoing task.
Prayerfully thinking of Tori and ROBYN and for that matter all in need!!!
Good late afternoon to all ♥ All of the places on my left lung that have been treated in the past are clear; However, there is a new spot. It is called the Carina. It is at the bottom of the trachea where it divides into the left and right main bronchus leading to the lungs. I just copied that from my research - lol I see my cancer dr TUES 17th and hopefully a PET scan will be ordered. This could just be inflammation - I pray. If it is cancer then a direct hit with radiation would be the procedure to remove it. I was disappointed but it could have been much worst news.
Thanks for all your good thoughts and prayers.... Love you all ♥
Keep offering your prayers for Tori to get onto the Transplant list! Robyn posted that she did call ambulance but then Tori didn't need to go to hospital.
Jo, I have been waiting for your update. I'm sorry that the news isn't 100% definitive about what we've all been praying for - that you are cancer free. So now the prayer is that the spot is inflammation that can be reduced - I'm on it!!
Lynne2, glad your diagnosis is bronchitis and not pneumonia. I look forward to some loopy codeine posts!
Judy, glad you got the online banking all set up without any glitches and have gotten your stolen money back so quickly.
Had a quiet day with my 3 girls. Janey definitely isn't making it easy for Bella and Jenni to love her. Every time the 3 are outside together in the yard and I remove Janey's leash, she starts chasing the littles. She seems to have no intention of picking them up in her mouth (which she easily could) or biting them. But she crowds them or she watches them until they're about 6 feet away and then rushes over to them. I think she will have to stay on a leash when all 3 are outside - even with her plastic muzzle on, I'm afraid she might step on one of them and injure them. In the house is better but I still have to keep a careful eye on her when the littles aren't gated in the sunroom.
Today's milestone with Janey was that she wagged her tail. Greyhounds don't know to be happy when they see people; they're just used to people being "all business."
Good evening! Watching the horrible new! So very very scary!
Jo, prayers for you!
Lynne, pleased you got to the doctor! Mend fast! I mowed and mulched leaves today. So dusty! Should have worn a mask, but did not! Shame on me! Hope I do not have regrets!
Waiting for Michael and Zach to arrive. Going to TCU football game tomorrow. Laurel arrives tomorrow afternoon and then we are going to the HS football game. She is going to stY here tomorrow. Otis a great weekend with kids!
OK I too am on it for the prayers for MeMa Jo Keep us posted on what the cancer Doc says Sandi Janey is doing so very well. Patches didn't wag her tail for a couple of weeks. I remember picking her up and finally feeling that little wiggle against my arm To this day I still call them tail hugs when I pick her up. It wags all the time now though. Janey is feeling home and happy..Shirley so thankful you are not in Paris. Lynne feel better soon. Maybe some rest over the weekend. Can you do that. Migraine today so getting offline early. AOYP
Tori is home, they took labs, an xray and pumped her with a bit of IV meds. We have an appt with her team Monday so they are keeping her home because there is nothing they can do for her that can't be done home. I am heading out for her breathing treatment which they did in hospital and she is much better now then she was thing morning.
Thank you all for your well wishes, prayers and healing energies.
I got unnerved at the Eiffel Tower when we saw a group of men in uniform marching around carrying guns. I guess they were soldiers or police officers. No one else seemed alarmed, so I decided it was normal.
Goodorming my eagle friends. Janey woke up and stood at the bedroom door at 5:30am this morning - normally the littles get up first. I figured that meant she had to go outside and a greyhound accident would be a LOT bigger puddle to clean than a dachshund pee, so I was up super early to start my Saturday.
Good morning to all ♥ From the looks of comments I think everyone blew away thru the night! I am watching our nest and the wind is making it dance back and forth - scary! Hopefully all of you will keep an eye on it today as the winds continue. Last year on yesterday's date we did have snow!
I didn't get home till after midnight last night at Angie
and I did sleep in later that norm
I got 4 notification in my email from the bank being I have the online now of Stop payments from yesterday on 3 different accts the Ga Power one Dish Network and the Scana Energy Co also the BillMax which is the charge they have to pay to pay the bills online
The two acct don't have a name attached to it on my acct but just the acct # The Dish has a name on it I wonder how long it will take them to realize that I am not paying their bills any longer LOL
I guess I will continue to get notified via email till they figure it out and go find another patsy to pay them LOL
The nest is MT, but IMNXTC every time I see it and our new view. The wind is still strong there, but has subsided here so I hope our good weather is about to spread it's way eastward. Wind is far and away the most disconcerting weather phenomenon for me. I have to turn the sound way down as even the sound of it drives me a little batty---battier!
Oh, here goes the show! First time I've gotten in on the camera tour! Wonderful! Belle and Shep have a spectacular view of the beautiful surrounding countryside, don't they?
Hi, JO! I've been thinking of you and praying that the new spot turns out to be of little concern. So thankful all the "old" spots have responded to treatment! Yeah!
SANDI, what time does our beautiful greythound go out for her last nature call at night? When I have Malcolm here I must take him out at 10 or 10:30 so he'll last til' Miss Penny decides to surface for the day. Her last outing of the day is at 7pm. He's a little more than twice her size and I wonder if that has something to do with it. By the time I'm out with him I'm in jammies, slippers and robe and hoping I don't run into a neighbor!
So sorry to hear that Tori and ROBYN are back on that horrible roller coaster again. Mega prayers on their behalf.
Also prayerfully thinking of all the families effected by the tragedy in Paris. Saying thanks that a newly wed couple I know had just returned home from their honeymoon in Paris when all hell broke loose there.
Best wishes to all for a good day and a great weekend!
Prayers for any Momster, Dadster, Kidster or Petster in need!
Hi all! Played tennis this morning at 9am (indoors). Goiod fun. When I got home and walked up the stairs from the foyer, Miss Janey was waiting at the top and, as soon as she saw it was me, I got a BIG tail wag of welcome!
Janey's adoption contract arrived in the mail today with her new purple collar and leash (no more collar that reads "Adopt Me"). In the envelope was a stuffed toy that Gail sent for Janey - one of those long skinny ones with no stuffing inside but 2 squeakers. When I squeaked it, Janey's ears really perked up. Then I tossed it across the room. Janey pranced after it, picked it up, carried it back to her bed, and then made it squeak! We repeated this several times. Another first - retrieving a toy and squeaking it.
Kay, since our 2 doxies never let us know when they have to go outside, we're used to taking them out about every 3-4 hours throughout the day. Their last trip is at 10pm. But Janey only pees first thing in the morning at 5:30-6am, then again around 1-1:30pm, and then again around 8-8:30pm. If we take her out again at 10pm with the littles, she just stands there and does nothing. Maybe it will change but that's her routine for now - just 3 times a day. She takes care of her other business on the first and last trips of the day. Last night, her final trip outside was closer to 7pm so I was a little concerned when she got up at 5:30am that she had to go out. It's entirely possible that she would have laid back down if I hadn't gotten up, but I'd rather get up early than break the perfect streak she has going of no accidents in the house.
Glo, speaking of dog bathroom habits, how is Patches doing with going to the bathroom on the fake grass on your deck?
Working on laundry today and I definitely see a nap in my near future. I'll save the upstairs cleaning for tomorrow since tennis was my big exercise of the day today.
Sunny but windy and chilly here today - the trees still have some leaves but they're getting close to being bare.
Daisy went with me to my class today...on Saturdays that we actually go to the facility, we bring our dogs so we can teach them things that we will be teaching other dogs in the future. EPIC FAIL. That crazy hound paid attention to everyone but me!!! Hopefully here at home without so many distractions we can perfect our exercises in one month.... HA!
Cough doing better thanks to the cough medicine. No notable side effects from the Codine at all. She said there wasn't much in each does but it's enough to stop that cough and allow me a peaceful night's sleep!
Sandi, I wouldn't even give it a second thought that Janey doesn't go to the bathroom late at night. That would be just 10 hours between night and morning and that's very reasonable. Sometimes Daisy doesn't want to go out for bedtime walk at all and she will go from after dinner 6ish til 8 the next morning. And if were not for Puddles waking up at 8ish, Daisy might just sleep til noon before wanting to go out!
Lynne, sorry that Daisy wasn't such a good student - surely everyone in the class who are becoming dog behaviorists knows that's not a reflection on you! :) Would Puddles be a better student? Have things been worked out for the pigs to have their own area separate from the horses? Are any horses boarding there yet? Hope the meds continue working for you and your coughing really subsides.
Both eagles have left the nest and returned, one with a large stick that is leaning against the stump. Lots of stick moving this morning so far.
Prayers continue for Tori. Jo, is she already on the transplant list and waiting for a donor or does she have to qualify to get back on the list?
I don't know if this is true of cats but dogs are experts at waking their people up, getting fed, and then falling right back to sleep. Both doxies are buried under their blankets with the heating pads on in their beds and Janey is sprawled on her downstairs bed asleep.
One eagle still in the nest as I post, really working hard to move large sticks to build the rails.
Frosty here this morning. Not that I have ventured out. I did look out the window.
Had a nice visit with Rus yesterday. Then he went with Kathryn and Hunter to a sushi restaurant. I went with Val to a Thai restaurant. I'd already made the plans with Val, and I'm not particularly interested in sushi.
Have been watching the news with interest. Since we traveled from Paris to Brussels, it is interesting that that's where some of the bad guys went. I am ever so thankful that we got safely home.
Lynne2, I will Google the article. I misunderstood. As for Daisy, well she's doing you a favor by showing you how to work with a social butterfly dog. So glad the cough is better and maybe you can get more rest.
Frosty up this way also Shirley but lots of sunshine now. How nice you were able to visit with Rus and then have an evening out for yourself with Val. Like Jo, I watched PBS but it was Midsomer.
Another quiet day for me. Wishing everyone the best day possible.
Good Sunny Sunday Morning To All ♥ Today is my Jenny day - we are staying in the house because the temps aren't very warm. Grandson could be bringing me some bright yellow pansies for one of my outside planters.
Sandi - To my knowledge of about 3 days ago, Tori is still waiting to get on the transplant list. I hope our Prayers get her there soon!
I'll return later today - everyone have a pleasant Sunday ♥
Watching the panda cam is making me sleepy 1226 punch time for me
Last night had a adult bday party to attend I only stayed about two hours and came home Angie and Carl stayed a tad longer and Angie dropped Carl off at home and had to pick up another friend north of them that is carless so on her way there Jordyn called and didn't want to spend the night at her friend house said she wasn't feeling well So Angie had to pick her up this was all going on about 830 in the mean while I kept falling asleep in the rocker so was heading to bed when the phone rang at almost 10 Angie was having one of her vertigo episode and was at the house where she was getting Jordyn only maybe a mile from my house lucky she was close. So she asked if her and Jordyn could spend night since she knew she couldn't drive home, The lady of the child drove Angie here while her husband followed so everything turned out ok She is now home and feeling somewhat better Odd how they just come on all a sudden and scary
Hi all - quiet day here. Cleaned the upstairs, took Janey for her walks.
Looks like it was a busy day for everyone on the blog - very few posts.
Tomorrow I will find out my new para assignment. Faculty meeting after school that I figure I should attend - may get in trouble with my principal if I blow off all of the staff meetings and I didn't go to the October one.
Goodnight all - I will see everyone in the early AM.
Good evening - not much done today - football games this afternoon on TV - Ravens lost by 2 points but Redskins won by mega points. I think I have a show at 8:00 - Ms Fisher. Then I'm not sure about a NEW Hallmark.
Another week is about to begin! - story of my life - lol
Everyone take care and I am going to close down by wishing you a
Hi all! What a weekend! Michael and Zach were here for dinner Friday. Then we all went to the TCU game. Zach was a delight, he was so excited. They returned to Dallas after the game. As soon as I got home, I started baking for the dessert auction. Then Laurel came for dinner. They we left for the Cowboy Stadium (Jerry World) for the 9:00 Denton HS football game. Fell into bed at 1:30 AM totally exhausted! Laurel spent the night and then when we headed to church she headed home.
Dessert auction was a success! Came home, sat down in my chair and have not moved!!!
Jack is now preparing grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. Bless him!
I now have Zach notes taped all over the house. The best one is on my bathroom mirror. It says, "Stà ff must wash hands before returning to work!" It is spelled correctly, though his hand writing is atrocious! Typical!
Shirley, we have new shower heads ordered. Guess Jack will be installing them this week. Hope we like them! Know they will look better!
I am going to continue to veg out for the evening. Night all! SED!
Judie, there is a very cute video of the baby owl on Facebook. I think she has a You Tube channel. Just wanted to give you a heads up on this bright and nippy Monday morning!
I think I saw in the paper this morning that a nearby restaurant is having an all-an-eagle-can-eat special tonight so that explains the short visit.
Jo, thank you for the link to Juliet and Romeo. Congrats to them.
Suzan, I was able to find the PPO pictures using Darth's FB. Nice pictures. Thank you.
Jo, you have mail. Update on PBS. Says Miss Fisher has a season finale this Thursday. I thought "this season" was all repeats. I'll take a look anyway.
Hope we hear from Lynne2 that she's feeling better.
Hi all! Was a busy day again. I am treasurer of our ladies group at church. Had bookkeeping to do after our auction. Took me all morning! Then Jack and I ran errands.
It has misted or sprinkled all day! Severe weather is expected tonight, raining right now. All thanks to El Niño!
Also visited the local vampire. Have a routine doctor visit next week following today's withdrawal by vampire!
Oh...raining quite hard right now!
Sad to hear that Belgium has so many radicals. Brussels and Brugge were cities we visited in Belgium. My bathroom is decorated with pictures from Belgium, including our WC sign on the door and Belgium lace curtains. We were In the process of remodeling the bathroom when we went there.
Have a Joseph story to share...........As you know, he is In the band. Jackson, his best friend took a picture of Joseph at a game, sent it to his dad and ask him to send it to Laurel. Joseph is holding hands with a little girl in the band! Our grandson is growing up!
13° above normal for us today again now 73 our little cold front was short lived
dew points are in the 70's, the high should be in the mid to high 80 but maybe we have another front coming in from TX with rain by sun cooler weather hi 74 maybe
Lolly, and you thought Joseph's interest in the band was primarily playing the trombone! Well good for Joseph! I'm sure he just LOVES that his friend took the photo in order to rat him out to his mom!
I took the day off today for a monthly treatment that I get for my face, but got a call that Mary (who does the treatment) had to take today off b/c her mom is in the hospital. I already have a sub so there's no point in going in, right?
I wasn't given a new assignment yesterday. Our school district, in their infinite wisdom, eliminated librarians in middle schools about 5 years ago. Only elementary and high schools have them now. So you can imagine the shape that our book collection is in after 5 years of neglect. A young lady on the staff who isn't a classroom teacher (she is in charge of a program at school called Response to Intervention or RTI for short, which is a remedial program for our lower performing math and reading students) offered to get the library back in shape and set up a regular schedule for students to check out books again via their ELA classes. But she needed help with getting all of the books on the shelves back in order. So I helped her with that yesterday, and also helped the special ed. coordinator with getting the necessary paperwork together on Sam to take to a hearing to determine if he will get into High Road School.
Both eagles in the nest when I opened the live cam. Working on sticks.
good morning to all. I've been lurking. just doing around the home stuff. time to head back to work today. work for 5 days. get 5 days off. rain moving in. then, colder weather. ya'll have a great day! hugs and love
Sandi, I feel so sorry that you are having yet another day away from school. No doubt, you are feeling lonely and dejected. Well, maybe some time with your short and tall girls will help lift your spirits. Seriously, sure hope Sam is sent to High Road. Also, I cannot imagine not having a librarian in middle school. Makes zero sense to me.
Okay, off to look for trouble. Wishing everyone a lovely day.
Hi all. Have been working outside spreading pine needles on the wooded lot. Many people here don't have lawns with grass and pay $9 per bale for pine needles at the nursery centers nearby. While walking Janey over the weekend, I saw a guy raking pine needles from his driveway and lawn and putting them into yard waste bags - he was just down for the weekend. Sunday night when I walked Janey, I counted 20 bags sitting out by the road for pick-up. So yesterday morning, Denny picked 'em up and brought 'em home! Each bag was about the equivalent of a bale of pine needles so about $180 worth of free pine needles!! Of course, these had some pine cones mixed in that I had to pick up but well worth it!
Janey was outside with me. Her idea of helping was to burrow into the piles of pine needles when I dumped the bags and then roll in them. She also helped by periodically taking off and running laps around the yard at about 30mph (not top speed but it's not as big a track as she's used to), kicking up pine needles in her wake. Wish I had my phone outside so I could have gotten a video! It brings me such joy to see her doing normal dog things!
Suzan, thanks for the reminder about Hoda's special day. I did wish her happy birthday on Facebook but will also do it here in case she pops on for a visit today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HODA!!!
Jo, I'm sending positive energy your way that you get good news from your scan!
I am shocked about no librarian at the middle school. Since Laurel, 6th grade reading teacher, started the Book Whisperer" curriculum at her school reading scores have shot up! The librarian reports that book circulation has shot up as well. Students at their school are reading!!!
A few years agoLaurel's principal decided to have a reading teacher. It proved so successful that all middle schools in Denton have reading teachers.
Sandi, I think working in the library would be fun! Hope you enjoy it!
We had storms over night. We received over an inch of rain and a lot of branches down. We were under a tornado watch, but slept through it. Apparently there is damage north of us. Will learn more as the day goes on.
Jack installed our new shower heads and really like them. They are meant to restrict water flow but come out powerful! The one in our shower just looked bad, lost its shine. The one in the front shower poured out too much water. Yikes! Years ago, when Laurel was a teenager she had difficulty shampooing her hair with the water restrictive shower head. Jack removed "something" and the water poured out! Great shower, everyone loved it but it sure emptied the water heater fast. Lol. No more! It just had not been replaced as we seldom had anyone showering. However, with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming we thought of replacing them!
Need to get out and clean off the patio and drive. Lots of leaves to be blown!
♫♪♪♫ Happy birthday, DEAR H♥DA, Happy Birthday to Y♥u ♪♪♪ And many m♥re♪♪
SANDI, too bad about the poor woman in the hospital, but glad you can make the most of the day with one Big and two Littles! How nice it is that you're getting some variety in the mix at work! So glad there is not another Sam in the immediate picture.
JO, I've lost a couple of days due to a digestive upset and I don't know what appt. was set for today. Could be medical, could be beautification? Either way I'm thinking of you and hoping for the best---not that you need help in the beauty department!
LOLLY, Joseph's "love" life brings a smile to my face as I remember my first love, at about that same age. Tom was a trombonist in church and school bands throughout his teens, and a wonderful guy for a first boyfriend, too. His sister and I are still BFF's! Thanks for the memories!
Hi everyone Sorry for the quick post and leave BUT I wanted to watch the eagle fullscreen and just enjoy that visit for a bit. Rainy rainy day here. Patches is not into cold and wet. Winter will be interesting BUT we will get through it. She has a special place on a small deck out my back door and has pretty much figured out it is better than trooping through the yard or down the street when it is cold and wet. It is a patch of artificial grass with 2 puppy pads underneath. Going to make things lots easier on both of us for sure.
Good evening to all ♥ I will try my best to explain the outcome of my cancer dr visit I had this afternoon. The spot on the Carinal area which showed up in the CT is going to first be treated with an antibiotic and Prednisone in hopes that if it is inflammation it will disappear. I am taking those meds now for 10 days. Then Pet scan is scheduled for Dec 9 and the next week on Dec 17 I will be back in for a visit with cancer dr for Pet Scan results.
SO - I am really asking for prayers that I have an inflammation!
No, I am NOT feeling better. Wanna know why? I'm not resting. HA! I TRY, but there is just so much to do! So my cough persists, but I still have totally clear mucous which is a good thing. Why am I such a hard head?
Got a call from Rus this evening. His train got evacuated this evening. They brought in the bomb squad and then evacuated the train station. By the time they decided things were okay, he had made his way via metro.
Cannot imagine not having a librarian in a middle school. I did work in a system that did not have a librarian for the elementary school. They decided that I should sent some 8th graders over to take care of the library while I taught three classes of English and ran the middle school library. This really did not work. Unsupervised, eighth graders do not get around to the boring task of shelving books. Eventually, the school found parent volunteers to take care of the library.
Maybe the library is the place for you, Sandi. Round up some students and parent volunteers to do the shelving.

JUDIE, it's Thursday---hope you didn't miss an appt. since Wednesday has come and gone.
SHIRLEY, I agree with the consensus, Allie has an angelic look about her! Hope it was the green light shining on your porch last night.☺
I've nuttin' but nuttin' to say except that Malcolm will soon be here to spend the day. Heavy winds--30 to 40 mph with gusts up to 50----yikes, we won't be outside much today!
Prayers for all in need!!! Praying for the answers Tori needs soon!!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Positive thoughts for those in need.
Like Kay, nuttin' much going on around here but the wind.
Hope y'all have a good day.
Good morning!
Prayers go with you today, Jo!
Front came through with no wind and no rain, but thankfully it is cooler. It was hot yesterday!
Today I have a meeting and luncheon and plan to run errands afterwards!
Tried to light a candle last night, but apparently can not click on the wick from my iPad! Lol. Oh, well, prayers are for Tori!
Have a great day!
Good morning eagle buds Just got back from the bank, work and now have to go to the police dept
Long story short someone has been using my checking acct to pay their bills elec, phone and satellite in GA going to file a complaint with police I want to prosecute these people Their names are on my statement Bank will refund me the $ but just a hassle have to do all this stuff Had to change my direct deposit at work and the bank will do the SSN office but advised me to also call
THANKS STEVE FOR THE SHINY NEW THREAD AND THE CALL OVER JO OFF I GO to get er done
plus dinner later at Jordyn school at 5 and then back to the bank in the am I set up auto bill pay with them for a safer way of banking and a saving acct there also So will also need to go to other bank close that acct to transfer funds to new one I will only have one bank then
Sorry for all the hassle Judy - I'm sure I would take it to the limits also. Hoping it all gets straightened out for you.
Just back from the police dept and filed a report and they are as excited as I am to find these people since their names are all over my statements
So funny I just got a comment on one of my blogs from two years ago in regards to the christmas trees I crochet I guess she google it looking for the directions and the blog I put it on comes up so she sent me a comment and I told her I would be happy to send it to her if she can't see it from the blog page
Lolly, I am so sorry that you cannot light a candle. Just spent some time on my iPad trying to figure it out and wonder why you just can't tap and voila! Bet it is something simple we are missing.
Jo, we'll be excited to hear of your great news tomorrow!
Have a great afternoon!
Suzan and Lolly, I haven't figured out how to light a candle from my iPad either. Just know I am doing it in spirit.
Hi all from school. Have spent the day helping the special ed. coordinator. She will have my new assignment by Monday morning.
Jo, sending prayers and positive energy your way for excellent news about today's CT scan!
Judy, what a pain! Did the bank offer any suggestion about how this person got your account information? The only checks I write are the 2 each month to get my nails done. All bills are paid through my online banking and purchases are all put on 1 Visa card which is paid in full every month. Setting up the online bill pay will take a little time but it's worth it.
I will check in again this evening.
SANDI I asked the bank if I should go to the police they said that they can't give legal advise But if it were them they would go I said I want to see these people prosecuted for theft so I went to the police station and did file the report the officer was so sweet and nice and funny. We joked around to where he turned off the lights and turned on his flash light that has stobe light so funny the reason is when I got there I was first at 1045 then a couple came in right after me fraud on their bank and then three people came in for check fraud a former worker cashed their pay checks so the place was hopping The office said that they will do all they can and he said he would let me know if anything comes up. He himself said he is curious with the names being right on the statement as well as their acct # there are two completely different people on seems to be husband and wife same last names and the other has a different name and just showed up in the last month
I only write 4 checks a month to my bills Elec, Cable, Water and Credit card which will be paid off shortly On occasion to the car insurance, home insurance and taxes once a year But I have set up online banking I am going down tomorrow with my bills and he is going to show me I think I have figured it out myself when I confirmed the email they sent me after I got home But since I already made the appt I will go down, and I want to let them know I did got to the police and have a case number also.
He explained to me that with the online pay through the bank that my acct # does not get sent that they use their checks or electronically and my acct doesn't show up at all on any payments But if you set up with each individual company then your acct number is in their system and fraud could happen also
Somehow someone got a hold of one of my checks to get the info routing # and acct # but I have no checks missing and we can't figure out how Like they said maybe someone who works where my checks were sent A inside job of sorts But I am not going to fret over it So happy I found it before the middle of the month because that is when they seem to be applying the payments
and I do feel like a IDIOT for not looking at my statements better I open them and look at the 3-4 checks that were cleared copy on back but never go line by line of the ATM charges
So I just have to wait 10-14 to get my money back in the acct and will just have to wait The officer said it will be up to the bank to prosecute since I will be getting my money back but he would try to let me know
waiting to hear how JO appt went sending healing thoughts to her and her dr
Angie is going to the school at 330 I am going to call her to see if she wants me to come up or not
I still need to call the SSN office although the bank said they will do the leg work but I should call also just to double check I just hate being on infamous hold with them LOL and as far as going down that is a long long wait the last time I was there We are FL home of the elderly
I am thinking of going to BOA and canceling my saving acct there pull out the $$ and pay off the rest of that credit card that was up there I have until March with the no interest acct balance transfer I did Still haven't decided weather to or not Then I am going to cancel that card being I just got in in March since I opened up a cc with my bank with my checking acct. I was advised not to cancel my one old cc because I have had it for so many years although I don't use it and I don't want three cards since I really don't use them any longer
He did also advise to open up a line of credit home equity one I won't have to pay anything unless I use it For just in case of emergency happen I will have to think on that This way it is already there and won't have to go through the process if I ever need it Something to ponder on When he mentioned it stupid me said I don't want to borrow any money then that is when he explained, it is for just in case that I won't get any money unless I want it down the road So much to learn
OK book is written as you can see I can go on and on LOL as the police officer also found about LOL Now that he know where I work he said he is going to look me up
SANDI have you heard anything on SAM just wondering I hope he gets the help he need so sad.
OH and if I pay off the credit card with the $ I take out of the saving and transfer then I will deposit most on my paycheck into my new saving acct I also got the thing for each time I use my debit card a dollar is put in it
I have been home and had lunch. I didn't need contrast or the 2 large cups of drinking beforehand - she said that is when your stomach is included in the scan - this was just for the lungs! Tomorrow is when I will get the report. It would be so wonderful to hear
that my lungs don't have any cancer spots - just praying I can accept anything I'm told.
Sandi - glad your day is going well and hope you enjoy your new assignment.
Judy do you have your banking account on line. We do and we are paperless - we keep tabs on the account whenever we want. Totally secure server. I write very few checks - 1 a month to church and/or some special services. So far it is all good.
JO I didn't have online banking until today I am going down tomorrow and he will show me the rope I think I have figured it out on my own but since I made the appt I might as well go down since I do want to give them the claim # from the police dept and it is typed somewhere above in the book I published LOL
Headin out the door I called Angie and no answer. So I texted her if she wanted me to come earlier that 5 for the meal to help just as I hit send she texted me and said to come down if I wanted to so I will go see if they need help.
better than sitting here on butt LOL and did you all notice that the camera is doing the strobe light on and off through out the day not often but on and off They must be working on it Maybe
Prayers for MeMa Jo Also lit a candle for Tori. So glad to hear things are going well for the 3 furry members of Sandi's family.
Had brakes onmy car fixed today. only needed them for like 6 months. argh
Hello? Hello? Is anyone out there?
I'm so confused. Somehow I forgot how to find my way to Thursday and I'm lost.
Does anyone have an extra calendar? Pleeeeeeze?
TWO EAGLES!
Ah, that's better. Now I know it's Thursday.
Foraging accomplished.
Jo, thinking of you and sending a prayer for an all clear report.
JudyE, very sorry for all the trouble with bank fraud. Please do all you can to protect your financial and credit information and keep it private. Hope your evening is enjoyable.
Sandi, looking forward to your new assignment. Can only be positive after the experience with Sam.
Happy to know that Glo has new brakes with winter weather on the way.
Kay, I had hoped you would keep the high wind over in your neighborhood but no, you just had to send it on to me and Shirley. Did get some sunshine this afternoon.
Going to make my way to the scullery.
Beautiful site!
One digging and one on sentry duty!
Poof Belle!
Belle's back and a stick tussle has ensued!
Shep says that that big stick has got to be dealt with!
And poof Belle! haha
And now poof Shep!
Cute visit.
Good evening!
Sorry about all of your banking troubles, Judy.
Bowling today. We almost got to see a perfect game--on the other team. Seven consecutive strikes. She had only two frames that were not strikes. But we won one game, tied one, and had the most total pins because of our handicap. That team is in first place, and the bowler with all of the strikes is a bowling instructor.
Had to stop Hunter before he ate up all of the food I had planned for dinner. Maybe I should fix him an early dinner. Wouldn't want to see the kid starve.
Praying for good news Jo.
Tomorrow, I am going with the Riffe women for their fall weekend getaway. We are going to stay in a 3-story cabin near Asheville, NC, and going to the Biltmore Estates on Saturday. It is going to be good to get away.
I would like to report that T-Bird has a new Basset hound (well, me too). His name is George and I think he is about 1-1/2 years old. He was found wandering around a campground in Tennessee in July and I have no doubt it was in God's plan that he end up here. He is such a great dog. Hard not to compare him to Buddy but it's getting better.
Hubby and I were out for an hour - Thank You Suzan for the Nest report.
Did anyone see at noon a cam tour... That's when I was out also.
Sharon have a fabulous weekend with those Riffe Women. Bev going to take some Pumpkin Rolls ? George does remind me of Buddy - same breed and all.
Shirley - 7 strikes all in a row - wow that's 2 1/2 turkeys!
For sure Hunter is at the age where he will eat you out of house and home!
I'll BBL - So very glad Judie caught up with us but the question is - Did Judie get her "Do" done yesterday ? ONLY HER HAIRDRESSER KNOWS ♥
Hi Jo. Yes, I got my "do" did on Wednesday. Problem is that I forgot that Wednesday ended and Thursday began. Hope I catch up by tomorrow which should be Monday.
Shirley, you might want to consider a loan designated as the Hunter Food Fund. A good day bowling. According to Jo, you should have plenty of turkey for Hunter.
Jo says she and Mr. Jo were out for an hour. Hmmmmm. Wonder if that involved an ice cream cone?
Did see a few minutes of the royal pair's visit earlier. They are just so lovely.
Wishing Shar and Bev and all the Rife ladies and wonderful weekend.
Headed to my recliner and then to the pillows.
Restful sleep for all.
evening all!
Jo, hope you scan is clear as a winter sky!
Judy, hope you get all of that bank stuff cleared up ASAP!
Shirley, perhaps Hunter is having a growth spurt. Maybe you could see about bowling over some Turkeys for him to eat...
Someone please light a FRIDAY signal fire for Judie in the AM so she knows where to go.
WOW the wind is really picking up. Gust for the next 2 day up to 35-40mph! The cat keeps wanting to go out on the deck so he can walk up on the roof but he isn't allowed in this wind. He might see a shiny garland and try to catch it....
Judie, I haven't read this yet but it looks interesting and I thought you might like to read it....
The Next Mass Shooters
Must get in a nice hot steamy shower. I have a bronchitis, pretty sure allergy or asthma induced. Have been coughing like mad for 2 full days and not getting much sleep. Drinking extra fluids, taking Mucinex, etc., and I have no fever, but I have 2 full days of classes this weekend and while I don't feel too bad other than tired and can't catch my breath if I move too much, I sound like I belong in a TB ward. So I'll go to the Dr in the AM to see if we can do something about this. SO annoying!
Sounds like a visit to the doctor is a good idea, Lynne. You could have pneumonia.
I did fix Hunter's dinner a little earlier than usual. He gobbled it up. I have put a bowl of apples, oranges, and bananas on the coffee table in hopes that he might enjoy some fruit. I have been munching on the apples.
Jo, you said something about finding out what someone with diabetes should not eat. Kathryn did go to some classes about the appropriate diet for diabetics. The big thing she was told to avoid was fruit juice. We do not even buy orange juice.
Cheeto came into my room a little while ago. I kind of think he is ready for sleep. I am about ready to wind down myself. SED, everyone. God bless and good night.
Lynne2 - It sure sounds like you should see a Pulmonary doc. Not sure why you know your have bronchitis other then the coughing. Does Mucinex help you cough up the junk in your lungs and is it colored or clear. Are you taking any Tussin DM cough medicine... When you say that moving around causes SOB (Shortness of Breath) sounds like pneumonia.
I'll be happy t o hear from you after your dr appointment - I'll quit asking so many questions cause you are probably in that hot steamy shower. Sleep tonight propped up
on a couple pillows or sleep in a recliner if you have one -just elevate your head.
AND call 911 if you find you can't breathe well............ You take care.
I will return late afternoon tomorrow.
Everyone take care
Prayers for all especially Tori...
Goodnight and SED ♥
Goodorming my eagle friends. One eagle in the nest when I opened the live cam.
Calling out for today since it's a teacher inservice day to work on grades.
Sam is being considered for a special school (High Road) for adolescents with emotional disabilities. The district will cover 30% of the cost if the state will cover the other 70%. If the state does not agree to pay their portion, then he will be placed at the alternative school within our district. High Road School would be the better placement - a decision won't be made until December. Until then Sam will be on homebound instruction. Good luck to the teacher who agrees to take on THAT responsibility! I know who won't be doing it!!
Getting a haircut at 10am, then probably raking more leaves and pine needles that have covered the driveways.
Jo, prayers for you for good results today.
Lynne2, get thee to the doctor!
Prayers also for Tori.
Still only 1 eagle in the nest - windy morning in Shepherdstown. Nest is rockin and rollin.
Have a greyt day all.
Both eagles have been in and out, doing some nestorations. Stick fights continue.
Good Morning both eagle still in nest
YEP I saw the stick fight also SHAR so windy at the nest
Our eagle are rockin
poof
Good Red Friday morning to all ♥ Stay our of the wind tunnel today or you will get blown away for sure. My trees are dancing in this wind and leaves are being blown out of the yard - into the neighbors' of course and that isn't good.
I am anxious to find some photos or videos of the stick fight I missed. Need to see if Belle is still Queen.
I am praying that our Lynne2 had a good night & that a dr appointment is scheduled.
Prayers for Tori as she awaits news from her Transplant team.
I'll return late afternoon - (((hugs)))
Egg watch with Juliet she has been in egg cup for a bit last year was the 16th
False alarm she looted
Just left the bank and guess what
I have all my money already credited back to me
I went into set up bill pay and first I had them check to see if my sister and electric bill cleared since they closed the old acct bobby said didn't we transfer all your acct yesterday to the new acct then that is when he realized it was the fraud team credited the money back to me and more than I thought because this months statement wasnt included yesterday. Oh I hope they catch them I hope the names on my statement are their real names. I want to convict them. They seem to working quickly
The bank said that they would notify me and the police also Hate to say it but I can't wait. Is that mean or what
Good mid-morning.
I googled the word "today" and so I'm pretty sure this is Friday and a sunshiny windy Friday it is. Next I'll check the date on the newspaper.
Lynne2, get yourself to a doctor, please. I'll check into the book as I had not heard of it. Of course, the title is provocative but then, if I were writing on that topic, Sam would be good for a chapter.
Sandi, speaking of Sam, hope he gets the High Road placement. Please have a lovely day at home with your girls.
Shirley, seems an early dinner, or substantial snack, for Hunter might just be the solution. As for the diabetic diet, stop by the library when (if) you have a few extra minutes and browse through a diabetic cookbook.
Jo, if you stop by before the doctor appointment, know I'm sending a little prayer along with you.
Wishing everyone a lovely day.
Good morning! Busy day yesterday going to be busy today and tomorrow! Was given tickets to the TCU game for tomorrow morn! Then Michael called. He and Zach are spending the night and he is going to try to get tickets!
After the game, I have to bake for dessert auction, the have another game at 9:00! I will be exhausted when I finally fall in bed!
Yes, Sandi, feel sorry for any home teachers dealing with Sam! Our local alternative school is great! Hope Sam gets the best placement for him.
Rain is predicted, Think I will head out and mulch leaves.
Anxious to hear from Jo about yesterday's tests!
Well I am no longer a bank virgin LOL I just did my bills on line with my bank paid my house taxes for the year when I came home and it was easy buy why am I nervous when I do it like butterfly and anxious feeling Keep checking and double checking acct info and address to make sure no mistakes I guess
The neat thing is they send Wells Fargo checks out not mine I like that
now to go do somethings before I have to go to Angie work and then pick up Jordyn
Good Friday the 13th morning!
JUDYE: that check should have cleared. I try to make it a policy to drop those things asap so they aren’t floating around.
So sorry that all this nonsense has happened to you!!!
I love online banking. Mostly because I can get up every single day and check my account and know what is going on. I know what has cleared, what hasn’t, etc. Bill pay is quick simple and easy. I don’t even own a check and haven’t for a long time now. I just send things out via bill pay.
Congrats and welcome the the 21st century (and I won’t tell mom you’re not a bank virgin, lol)
When I do bill pay, my bank has a screen where you can double check to whom, how much etc. It also shows a total amount paid and I often print that screen (control P) for my own records. Just a thought.
Thinking of Sam, and the other Sam’s in the world…..hoping they find the help that they need….so sad.
Work is slow slow slow again today. I had an 8 a.m. and a noon. I will head back shortly and act like I’m working. It is beautiful out so this p.m. I plan to work outside again.
I ordered my holiday cards today and paid for them with money from my savings catcher! Nothing out of pocket, go ME!
It was chilly this morning, 45. Going into the low 30’s tonight. Same for tomorrow. FEELS like November now! I put the bird feeder out and filled it. The chickadees have already located it and chastised me as I walked past it when I came home. How DARE I interrupt their feeding frenzy!
Will check in later! Everyone, have a great day> holding all close in my heart and thoughts for their highest and greatest good!
Good morning all
Missed the nest action this morning--actually slept in.
Judy, you will love the online banking. The only time I had a problem was due to my error. I was in a hurry and didn't double check before I clicked pay bills, nor check my receipt. I added another number to amount paid which over drew me by a considerable amount. Fortunately, the bank called me and I was able to transfer funds from savings to cover the error and the company i overpaid sent me a large check. It was a hassle, but taught me to double check every transaction.
I am keeping those in need in my good thoughts.
Good morning! Geez Janet, I hadn't realized it was Friday the 13th til you mentioned it!
Dr visit over, bronchial asthma diagnosis, probably from a virus, could be allergy (my guess...this used to happen to me every fall and more than once I missed a Thanksgiving dinner. Always seemed to coincide with leaf clean up!) need rest, have cough meds, keep drinking lots of fluids, must comply with instructions or risk pneumonia. Must call Monday if cough meds not helping. Cough med has codine....oh brother. This on the heels of the oxycodone for the kidney stone. Hopefully it won't make me stupid Lynne! I'll let you know!
Thanks for checking in LYNNE2 and hope the new meds don't make you loopy any more that you are LOL JK
funny on the online bank the payee section wasn't long enough for Diane Nelson, CFC Pinellas County Tax Collector
It would only that the amount of the later Pinellas County Tax Collector. Then under that was a nickname area so I put Diane Nelson, CFC in that spot
I hope that will work I guess I will find out and I know before that had to be on it when I personally wrote them out had a hard time writing that all on the one line also LOL
I am thinking about not ordering checks also since I am doing online and YES I love it because I can go back the past year and look at my acct Both accts are there and both listed separately until I get this cleared up I just have to remember to click on the new one and not try to pay anything on the old one It is only being left open for deposits work and SSN office just in case since the SSN check should be hitting in the next week I like that they did that also
I still would love to see their faces when there bills bounce back to them
I have made a file and put everything from the past couple of days just in case I have to go to court instead of filing them normally
Good Friday the 13th Afternoon Eagle Buds!!! May you be blessed with Good Luck only!!!
JO, Mega-prayers in progress!
LYNNE2, glad you checked in with the the doc--follow all those orders in order to get back in the pink!
SHIRLEY, thank goodness for bowling handicapping! I'd have found bowling with an instructor very intimidating. Hunter has a long way to go before his growing boy appetite begins to level off---but then you've raised boys!
SUZAN, Thx for reporting on the "cute" visit with Belle and Shep yesterday afternoon! And, Thx to SHAR and JUDY for the mornings report!
SANDI, hope the new assignment is easier than the last and that Sam gets into High Road. Oh, boy, poor homebound teacher! I hope it pays really good money!
JUDY, I see your banking woes are over. Protecting one's privacy is such an important ongoing task.
Prayerfully thinking of Tori and ROBYN and for that matter all in need!!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good late afternoon to all ♥ All of the places on my left lung that have been treated in the past are clear; However, there is a new spot. It is called the Carina. It is at the bottom of the trachea where it divides into the left and right main bronchus leading to the lungs. I just copied that from my research - lol
I see my cancer dr TUES 17th and hopefully a PET scan will be ordered. This could just be inflammation - I pray. If it is cancer then a direct hit with radiation would be the procedure to remove it. I was disappointed but it could have been much worst news.
Thanks for all your good thoughts and prayers.... Love you all ♥
Keep offering your prayers for Tori to get onto the Transplant list!
Robyn posted that she did call ambulance but then Tori didn't need to go to hospital.
Keeping you close, Jo. And Tori too.
EAGLE!
Jo, I have been waiting for your update. I'm sorry that the news isn't 100% definitive about what we've all been praying for - that you are cancer free. So now the prayer is that the spot is inflammation that can be reduced - I'm on it!!
Lynne2, glad your diagnosis is bronchitis and not pneumonia. I look forward to some loopy codeine posts!
Judy, glad you got the online banking all set up without any glitches and have gotten your stolen money back so quickly.
Had a quiet day with my 3 girls. Janey definitely isn't making it easy for Bella and Jenni to love her. Every time the 3 are outside together in the yard and I remove Janey's leash, she starts chasing the littles. She seems to have no intention of picking them up in her mouth (which she easily could) or biting them. But she crowds them or she watches them until they're about 6 feet away and then rushes over to them. I think she will have to stay on a leash when all 3 are outside - even with her plastic muzzle on, I'm afraid she might step on one of them and injure them. In the house is better but I still have to keep a careful eye on her when the littles aren't gated in the sunroom.
Today's milestone with Janey was that she wagged her tail. Greyhounds don't know to be happy when they see people; they're just used to people being "all business."
One eagle just landed.
Time to fix food for people and pets.
Think it is Belle working on a potential nest cup? And hewre is Shep!
Now both.
Poof Shep. Now Belle. Short visit.
Watching the terrible news from Paris.
Oh Shirley - I am so thankful you are home in the USA - Terrible terrible happenings
One day this will happen in America I'm sure..........
Sandi - Janey needs another greyhound to have a play date......♥
Good evening! Watching the horrible new! So very very scary!
Jo, prayers for you!
Lynne, pleased you got to the doctor! Mend fast! I mowed and mulched leaves today. So dusty! Should have worn a mask, but did not! Shame on me! Hope I do not have regrets!
Waiting for Michael and Zach to arrive. Going to TCU football game tomorrow. Laurel arrives tomorrow afternoon and then we are going to the HS football game. She is going to stY here tomorrow. Otis a great weekend with kids!
Oh...Typos!! Lol
OK I too am on it for the prayers for MeMa Jo Keep us posted on what the cancer Doc says Sandi Janey is doing so very well. Patches didn't wag her tail for a couple of weeks. I remember picking her up and finally feeling that little wiggle against my arm To this day I still call them tail hugs when I pick her up. It wags all the time now though. Janey is feeling home and happy..Shirley so thankful you are not in Paris. Lynne feel better soon. Maybe some rest over the weekend. Can you do that. Migraine today so getting offline early. AOYP
Feel better soon, Glo - those headaches can do you in!
On fB Tori is going to the hospital Carolyn posted difficult breathing and uncontrollable cough
I am surprised I was able to do a candle from my tablet Had to tap it several times to get it to lite.
21 mins ago from Robyn
Tori is home, they took labs, an xray and pumped her with a bit of IV meds. We have an appt with her team Monday so they are keeping her home because there is nothing they can do for her that can't be done home. I am heading out for her breathing treatment which they did in hospital and she is much better now then she was thing morning.
Thank you all for your well wishes, prayers and healing energies.
Hello everyone.
This has not been a good day. Prayers for Tori and for Jo and for all the casualties and their families and friends in Paris.
I agree Judie. The news from Paris is very distressing and depressing.
And Jo and Tori are being lifted up 24/7.
And Jo and Tori are being lifted up 24/7.
Good grief. Is anyone else having trouble posting? I click and click and nothing. Then when I am ready to give up...victory!
Have a good evening.
Sorry for the stutter. I am batting a thousand tonight.
Thinking of you, Jo. Glad you will be seeing the cancer doctor soon.
Yes, I am thankful that I am not in Paris as well. This is so sad.
I got unnerved at the Eiffel Tower when we saw a group of men in uniform marching around carrying guns. I guess they were soldiers or police officers. No one else seemed alarmed, so I decided it was normal.
I almost forgot to say
Goodnight to all ♥
SED & AOYP
PRAYERS FOR ALL OUR NEEDS
Goodorming my eagle friends. Janey woke up and stood at the bedroom door at 5:30am this morning - normally the littles get up first. I figured that meant she had to go outside and a greyhound accident would be a LOT bigger puddle to clean than a dachshund pee, so I was up super early to start my Saturday.
1 eagle in the nest right now.
Good morning to all ♥ From the looks of comments I think everyone blew away thru the night! I am watching our nest and the wind is making it dance back and forth - scary!
Hopefully all of you will keep an eye on it today as the winds continue. Last year on yesterday's date we did have snow!
Relaxing today as always - lol.
Good Morning Eagle Buds
It is sooooooo nice outs side feels like a nice fall day I know the weather won't last long so I have been out and about and enjoying in
I didn't get home till after midnight last night at Angie
and I did sleep in later that norm
I got 4 notification in my email from the bank being I have the online now of Stop payments from yesterday on 3 different accts the Ga Power one Dish Network and the Scana Energy Co also the BillMax which is the charge they have to pay to pay the bills online
The two acct don't have a name attached to it on my acct but just the acct #
The Dish has a name on it I wonder how long it will take them to realize that I am not paying their bills any longer LOL
I guess I will continue to get notified via email till they figure it out and go find another patsy to pay them LOL
ALMOST TIME FOR OUR CAM TOUR
SURE IS WINDY OUT THERE
Good Morning Eagle Buds!!!
The nest is MT, but IMNXTC every time I see it and our new view. The wind is still strong there, but has subsided here so I hope our good weather is about to spread it's way eastward. Wind is far and away the most disconcerting weather phenomenon for me. I have to turn the sound way down as even the sound of it drives me a little batty---battier!
Oh, here goes the show! First time I've gotten in on the camera tour! Wonderful! Belle and Shep have a spectacular view of the beautiful surrounding countryside, don't they?
HOPE ALL WHO SAW THE TOUR ENJOYED IT!
Hi, JO! I've been thinking of you and praying that the new spot turns out to be of little concern. So thankful all the "old" spots have responded to treatment! Yeah!
SANDI, what time does our beautiful greythound go out for her last nature call at night? When I have Malcolm here I must take him out at 10 or 10:30 so he'll last til' Miss Penny decides to surface for the day. Her last outing of the day is at 7pm. He's a little more than twice her size and I wonder if that has something to do with it. By the time I'm out with him I'm in jammies, slippers and robe and hoping I don't run into a neighbor!
So sorry to hear that Tori and ROBYN are back on that horrible roller coaster again. Mega prayers on their behalf.
Also prayerfully thinking of all the families effected by the tragedy in Paris. Saying thanks that a newly wed couple I know had just returned home from their honeymoon in Paris when all hell broke loose there.
Best wishes to all for a good day and a great weekend!
Prayers for any Momster, Dadster, Kidster or Petster in need!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Good afternoon.
Missed the tour. Again.
Sunshine and wind in my neighborhood. Quiet day on the agenda. Still need to peruse the newspaper.
Thinking of Tori and Jo and all who have been affected by the Paris attacks.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.
Hi all! Played tennis this morning at 9am (indoors). Goiod fun. When I got home and walked up the stairs from the foyer, Miss Janey was waiting at the top and, as soon as she saw it was me, I got a BIG tail wag of welcome!
Janey's adoption contract arrived in the mail today with her new purple collar and leash (no more collar that reads "Adopt Me"). In the envelope was a stuffed toy that Gail sent for Janey - one of those long skinny ones with no stuffing inside but 2 squeakers. When I squeaked it, Janey's ears really perked up. Then I tossed it across the room. Janey pranced after it, picked it up, carried it back to her bed, and then made it squeak! We repeated this several times. Another first - retrieving a toy and squeaking it.
Kay, since our 2 doxies never let us know when they have to go outside, we're used to taking them out about every 3-4 hours throughout the day. Their last trip is at 10pm. But Janey only pees first thing in the morning at 5:30-6am, then again around 1-1:30pm, and then again around 8-8:30pm. If we take her out again at 10pm with the littles, she just stands there and does nothing. Maybe it will change but that's her routine for now - just 3 times a day. She takes care of her other business on the first and last trips of the day. Last night, her final trip outside was closer to 7pm so I was a little concerned when she got up at 5:30am that she had to go out. It's entirely possible that she would have laid back down if I hadn't gotten up, but I'd rather get up early than break the perfect streak she has going of no accidents in the house.
Glo, speaking of dog bathroom habits, how is Patches doing with going to the bathroom on the fake grass on your deck?
Working on laundry today and I definitely see a nap in my near future. I'll save the upstairs cleaning for tomorrow since tennis was my big exercise of the day today.
Sunny but windy and chilly here today - the trees still have some leaves but they're getting close to being bare.
Later! Have a greyt day!
EAGLES IN!
Both eagles in!
So, eagles in at 5:25. Missed them.
Judie out at 7:25pm.
Headed to my recliner thinking how wonderful it was for Sandi to be greeted by a big tail wag.
Not sure. Either PBS or a book.
Prayers for all those in need including the victims' families in Paris.
Restful sleep for all.
Good evening all!
Daisy went with me to my class today...on Saturdays that we actually go to the facility, we bring our dogs so we can teach them things that we will be teaching other dogs in the future. EPIC FAIL. That crazy hound paid attention to everyone but me!!! Hopefully here at home without so many distractions we can perfect our exercises in one month.... HA!
Cough doing better thanks to the cough medicine. No notable side effects from the Codine at all. She said there wasn't much in each does but it's enough to stop that cough and allow me a peaceful night's sleep!
Sandi, I wouldn't even give it a second thought that Janey doesn't go to the bathroom late at night. That would be just 10 hours between night and morning and that's very reasonable. Sometimes Daisy doesn't want to go out for bedtime walk at all and she will go from after dinner 6ish til 8 the next morning. And if were not for Puddles waking up at 8ish, Daisy might just sleep til noon before wanting to go out!
Judie, that was a link to an article that I posted for you, not the name of a book.
Must get shower and maybe watch a recorded Hallmark Christmas movie before I head to bed.
Evening to all ♥ It is getting about the time when I pop in and read comments made since I was last here and then bid everyone Goodnight.
I am so happy that Janey knows just when to wag her tail. Such a happy time!
Lynne2 thankful you are feeling better! I did watch HALLMARK NEW movie 8-10 this evening.
Goodnight to all ♥
SED & AOYP
Good Morning Eagle buds
Goodorming my eagle friends. Both eagles were in the nest when I opened the live cam just now.
Lynne, sorry that Daisy wasn't such a good student - surely everyone in the class who are becoming dog behaviorists knows that's not a reflection on you! :) Would Puddles be a better student? Have things been worked out for the pigs to have their own area separate from the horses? Are any horses boarding there yet? Hope the meds continue working for you and your coughing really subsides.
Both eagles have left the nest and returned, one with a large stick that is leaning against the stump. Lots of stick moving this morning so far.
Prayers continue for Tori. Jo, is she already on the transplant list and waiting for a donor or does she have to qualify to get back on the list?
I don't know if this is true of cats but dogs are experts at waking their people up, getting fed, and then falling right back to sleep. Both doxies are buried under their blankets with the heating pads on in their beds and Janey is sprawled on her downstairs bed asleep.
One eagle still in the nest as I post, really working hard to move large sticks to build the rails.
Have agreyt day all.
Good morning,
Frosty here this morning. Not that I have ventured out. I did look out the window.
Had a nice visit with Rus yesterday. Then he went with Kathryn and Hunter to a sushi restaurant. I went with Val to a Thai restaurant. I'd already made the plans with Val, and I'm not particularly interested in sushi.
Have been watching the news with interest. Since we traveled from Paris to Brussels, it is interesting that that's where some of the bad guys went. I am ever so thankful that we got safely home.
Sunny at the nest. I see no eagles.
Good late morning.
Lynne2, I will Google the article. I misunderstood. As for Daisy, well she's doing you a favor by showing you how to work with a social butterfly dog. So glad the cough is better and maybe you can get more rest.
Frosty up this way also Shirley but lots of sunshine now. How nice you were able to visit with Rus and then have an evening out for yourself with Val. Like Jo, I watched PBS but it was Midsomer.
Another quiet day for me. Wishing everyone the best day possible.
Good Sunny Sunday Morning To All ♥
Today is my Jenny day - we are staying in the house because the temps aren't very warm.
Grandson could be bringing me some bright yellow pansies for one of my outside planters.
Sandi - To my knowledge of about 3 days ago, Tori is still waiting to get on the transplant list. I hope our Prayers get her there soon!
I'll return later today - everyone have a pleasant Sunday ♥
Good afternoon one and all
Watching the panda cam is making me sleepy 1226 punch time for me
Last night had a adult bday party to attend I only stayed about two hours and came home Angie and Carl stayed a tad longer and Angie dropped Carl off at home and had to pick up another friend north of them that is carless so on her way there Jordyn called and didn't want to spend the night at her friend house said she wasn't feeling well So Angie had to pick her up this was all going on about 830 in the mean while I kept falling asleep in the rocker so was heading to bed when the phone rang at almost 10 Angie was having one of her vertigo episode and was at the house where she was getting Jordyn only maybe a mile from my house lucky she was close. So she asked if her and Jordyn could spend night since she knew she couldn't drive home, The lady of the child drove Angie here while her husband followed so everything turned out ok She is now home and feeling somewhat better Odd how they just come on all a sudden and scary
NorthEast cam has both adults in the tree onh separate branches I love that they follow them on the nest tree WILL OUR CAN DO that I wonder???

Hi all - quiet day here. Cleaned the upstairs, took Janey for her walks.
Looks like it was a busy day for everyone on the blog - very few posts.
Tomorrow I will find out my new para assignment. Faculty meeting after school that I figure I should attend - may get in trouble with my principal if I blow off all of the staff meetings and I didn't go to the October one.
Goodnight all - I will see everyone in the early AM.
Toilet shopping again today. We now have two new toilets installed. One more to go.
Good evening - not much done today - football games this afternoon on TV - Ravens lost by 2 points but Redskins won by mega points. I think I have a show at 8:00 - Ms Fisher.
Then I'm not sure about a NEW Hallmark.
Another week is about to begin! - story of my life - lol
Everyone take care and I am going to close down by wishing you a
GOODNIGHT and SED and AOYP. ♥
Hi all! What a weekend! Michael and Zach were here for dinner Friday. Then we all went to the TCU game. Zach was a delight, he was so excited. They returned to Dallas after the game. As soon as I got home, I started baking for the dessert auction. Then Laurel came for dinner. They we left for the Cowboy Stadium (Jerry World) for the 9:00 Denton HS football game. Fell into bed at 1:30 AM totally exhausted! Laurel spent the night and then when we headed to church she headed home.
Dessert auction was a success! Came home, sat down in my chair and have not moved!!!
Jack is now preparing grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner. Bless him!
I now have Zach notes taped all over the house. The best one is on my bathroom mirror. It says, "Stà ff must wash hands before returning to work!" It is spelled correctly, though his hand writing is atrocious! Typical!
Shirley, we have new shower heads ordered. Guess Jack will be installing them this week. Hope we like them! Know they will look better!
I am going to continue to veg out for the evening. Night all! SED!
Oh, and Sandi.......Good luck with your new assignment. Will be interested to hear about it.
Dinner over. Scullery in order.
Watching Miss fisher Jo. Looks like a new one.
Sandi, good luck tomorrow with the new assignment and I certainly hope the meeting is not a real snooze.
What excellent news. Everything is going to be flowing nicely at Shirley's abode.
Hoping Lynne2 is continuing to feel better.
Headed to my recliner and PBS.
Wishing everyone a night of restful sleep.
Need to check out the downstairs...cannot sleep before I check that doors are locked, etc.
Will say good night now. SED, everyone.
Goodness me, I am still thanking my stars that I am not in France right now. I hope all of those nice people I met are okay.
Goodorming my eagle friends.
Lynne2, hope you're feeling better today than yesterday.
Jo, prayers for you for good news tomorrow.
Prayers for Tori to get new lungs.
Have agreyt day all.
Good Morning Eagle Buds
eagle in nest
Good morning everyone!
Judie, there is a very cute video of the baby owl on Facebook. I think she has a You Tube channel. Just wanted to give you a heads up on this bright and nippy Monday morning!
Good morning. Is it still morning? Is it Monday? I need to look at the newspaper date.
Suzan, thank you. I'll try to find baby owl in a few minutes.
Bright sunshine and blue sky. Warm today at 69º No plans.
Thinking of Tori, Lynne2, Jo, and a prayer for the people of France.
Wishing everyone the best day possible.
Good late morning to all ♥
The weekend has passed and hoping all went well with all of you
Suzan the video of our little owlet is adorable - I'm still wanting to know if and how he got back up into the Pot's nest?
Judie I'm sure Ms Fisher was a repeat - but I watched it again.
However, the Hallmark I watch was new! Score One !
Lolly you really played yourself out with all the fun things and I bet you wouldn't have done it any differently ! Family is LOVE.
Remember the Live Feed Cam Tour is in about 25 minutes
Praying for Lynne2 to lose that cough! Praying for Tori to get on the Transplant list! Praying for all our individual needs......... ♥
Hoping some of you were watching the Cam Tour -- Very pretty day in Shepherdstown WV
Well, Jo, I missed it again. Drat! However, it does look as if some real progress has been made moving those sticks around.
It is a really beauteous day.
Bye
12 punch time missed the tour but have seen it couple of times so no biggie for me
JULIET LAID HER FIRST EGG
Congratulations to NE FL nest - Their 3 cams are fantastic
Juliet is right on schedule
Why is the video title saying 11/16/2014 ?????????????
Found the new video of the 1st egg of 2015
Posted on my page and Eaglet Momster page on FB
Try this Youtube link for Juliet and Romeo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WoJaLeb-fJg&feature=youtu.be
Anybody here? Eagle in!
Headed straight in to stick locating.
Now two!
I'm here Suzan. Both in now. I saw an eagle fly past the nest about 15 minutes ago.
They are being industrious today!
Glad you are here Granny.
One poof!
Thanks for the alert Suzan.
Short visit this evening, unless they return.
And another poof. Guess the afternoon is too pretty to be stuck at home!
Poof. Both. That didn't last long. Maybe they will return before absolute darkness
I was here with visit but was snipping hard to do both
Good early evening.
I think I saw in the paper this morning that a nearby restaurant is having an all-an-eagle-can-eat special tonight so that explains the short visit.
Jo, thank you for the link to Juliet and Romeo. Congrats to them.
Suzan, I was able to find the PPO pictures using Darth's FB. Nice pictures. Thank you.
Jo, you have mail. Update on PBS. Says Miss Fisher has a season finale this Thursday. I thought "this season" was all repeats. I'll take a look anyway.
Hope we hear from Lynne2 that she's feeling better.
Off to the scullery. Bye
Hi all! Was a busy day again. I am treasurer of our ladies group at church. Had bookkeeping to do after our auction. Took me all morning! Then Jack and I ran errands.
It has misted or sprinkled all day! Severe weather is expected tonight, raining right now. All thanks to El Niño!
Also visited the local vampire. Have a routine doctor visit next week following today's withdrawal by vampire!
Oh...raining quite hard right now!
Sad to hear that Belgium has so many radicals. Brussels and Brugge were cities we visited in Belgium. My bathroom is decorated with pictures from Belgium, including our WC sign on the door and Belgium lace curtains. We were In the process of remodeling the bathroom when we went there.
Good evening.
Dinner over. Scullery in order.
Headed for my recliner. Maybe some tv.
Wishing everyone a pleasant night and restful sleep.
Chili and cornbread almost ready here!
Have a Joseph story to share...........As you know, he is In the band. Jackson, his best friend took a picture of Joseph at a game, sent it to his dad and ask him to send it to Laurel. Joseph is holding hands with a little girl in the band! Our grandson is growing up!
Oh Lolly - Joseph best keep his hands on his horn lol Glad you had a good day.
Judie got your email - I think 2 Ms Fishers have been new to me.. Hopefully the one this
Thursday will be new!
Suzan, Lynne1, and Sandi - thanks for the Eagle's evening visit comments!
Going to head to la la land..............Goodnight to all ♥
Good Morning Eagle Buds
13° above normal for us today again now 73
our little cold front was short lived
dew points are in the 70's, the high should be in the mid to high 80
but maybe we have another front coming in from TX with rain by sun cooler weather hi 74 maybe
lots of buffering this am
they landed in the nest by this time at 622 I think I am being stood up and will have to go to work shortly
EAGLE IN
workin on stick at rail 11
both
gotta leave
Goodorming my eagle friends.
Lolly, and you thought Joseph's interest in the band was primarily playing the trombone! Well good for Joseph! I'm sure he just LOVES that his friend took the photo in order to rat him out to his mom!
I took the day off today for a monthly treatment that I get for my face, but got a call that Mary (who does the treatment) had to take today off b/c her mom is in the hospital. I already have a sub so there's no point in going in, right?
I wasn't given a new assignment yesterday. Our school district, in their infinite wisdom, eliminated librarians in middle schools about 5 years ago. Only elementary and high schools have them now. So you can imagine the shape that our book collection is in after 5 years of neglect. A young lady on the staff who isn't a classroom teacher (she is in charge of a program at school called Response to Intervention or RTI for short, which is a remedial program for our lower performing math and reading students) offered to get the library back in shape and set up a regular schedule for students to check out books again via their ELA classes. But she needed help with getting all of the books on the shelves back in order. So I helped her with that yesterday, and also helped the special ed. coordinator with getting the necessary paperwork together on Sam to take to a hearing to determine if he will get into High Road School.
Both eagles in the nest when I opened the live cam. Working on sticks.

Good early morning.
Bei Bei has the hiccups.
So, Joseph has been outed. Too funny.
Sandi, I feel so sorry that you are having yet another day away from school. No doubt, you are feeling lonely and dejected. Well, maybe some time with your short and tall girls will help lift your spirits. Seriously, sure hope Sam is sent to High Road. Also, I cannot imagine not having a librarian in middle school. Makes zero sense to me.
Okay, off to look for trouble. Wishing everyone a lovely day.
Good Morning!
Happy Birthday Hoda! May you continue to inspire and teach for many more years!
Not much going on in my world so far. Even my chores are done. I must have missed something!
The day is still semi young......
Good late morning to all ♥
Hoping all is well - Sandi I think Janey knows you are home a lot and she loves it ♥
Enjoy your walks!
I'm just hanging in here - Getting ready for appointment - thanks for all prayers and well wishes.
I'll return late afternoon for sure
Take care
Prayers for Tori
Happy Birthday Hoda
Enjoy your day and celebrate your life
Hi all. Have been working outside spreading pine needles on the wooded lot. Many people here don't have lawns with grass and pay $9 per bale for pine needles at the nursery centers nearby. While walking Janey over the weekend, I saw a guy raking pine needles from his driveway and lawn and putting them into yard waste bags - he was just down for the weekend. Sunday night when I walked Janey, I counted 20 bags sitting out by the road for pick-up. So yesterday morning, Denny picked 'em up and brought 'em home! Each bag was about the equivalent of a bale of pine needles so about $180 worth of free pine needles!! Of course, these had some pine cones mixed in that I had to pick up but well worth it!
Janey was outside with me. Her idea of helping was to burrow into the piles of pine needles when I dumped the bags and then roll in them. She also helped by periodically taking off and running laps around the yard at about 30mph (not top speed but it's not as big a track as she's used to), kicking up pine needles in her wake. Wish I had my phone outside so I could have gotten a video! It brings me such joy to see her doing normal dog things!
Suzan, thanks for the reminder about Hoda's special day. I did wish her happy birthday on Facebook but will also do it here in case she pops on for a visit today - HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HODA!!!
Jo, I'm sending positive energy your way that you get good news from your scan!
Later.
Good morning!
I am shocked about no librarian at the middle school. Since Laurel, 6th grade reading teacher, started the Book Whisperer" curriculum at her school reading scores have shot up! The librarian reports that book circulation has shot up as well. Students at their school are reading!!!
A few years agoLaurel's principal decided to have a reading teacher. It proved so successful that all middle schools in Denton have reading teachers.
Sandi, I think working in the library would be fun! Hope you enjoy it!
We had storms over night. We received over an inch of rain and a lot of branches down. We were under a tornado watch, but slept through it. Apparently there is damage north of us. Will learn more as the day goes on.
Jack installed our new shower heads and really like them. They are meant to restrict water flow but come out powerful! The one in our shower just looked bad, lost its shine. The one in the front shower poured out too much water. Yikes! Years ago, when Laurel was a teenager she had difficulty shampooing her hair with the water restrictive shower head. Jack removed "something" and the water poured out! Great shower, everyone loved it but it sure emptied the water heater fast. Lol. No more! It just had not been replaced as we seldom had anyone showering. However, with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming we thought of replacing them!
Need to get out and clean off the patio and drive. Lots of leaves to be blown!
♪♫ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HODA. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ♪♫ Cheers from Jufie and Dudley DoRight.
Thinking of Jo. Look forward to her update.
4 minutes until Cam Tour
Good Afternoon Eagle Buds!!!
♫♪♪♫ Happy birthday, DEAR H♥DA, Happy Birthday to Y♥u ♪♪♪ And many m♥re♪♪
SANDI, too bad about the poor woman in the hospital, but glad you can make the most of the day with one Big and two Littles! How nice it is that you're getting some variety in the mix at work! So glad there is not another Sam in the immediate picture.
JO, I've lost a couple of days due to a digestive upset and I don't know what appt. was set for today. Could be medical, could be beautification? Either way I'm thinking of you and hoping for the best---not that you need help in the beauty department!
LOLLY, Joseph's "love" life brings a smile to my face as I remember my first love, at about that same age. Tom was a trombonist in church and school bands throughout his teens, and a wonderful guy for a first boyfriend, too. His sister and I are still BFF's! Thanks for the memories!
Have a great rest of the day all!
Prayers for all in need!!!
Off to cam tour!!!!!!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Great cam tour! It will be fun watching the Season's come and go in beautiful WV!
JO, I see by JUDIE has supplied me with the answer---it's medical and I will pray for a good report!
Yes Kay - BTW on Nov 13 I sent you an email with explanation....
Glad to hear you are feeling up to par now.
Thanks for the memory jog, JO, I'm operating on little sleep right now and it shows.
Prayers upon prayers our Momster prayers have worked once again!♥
Off to see if a few zzzz's will help me through this glitchiness.

LOLLY I saw part of TX having bad tornado weather yesterday

Good evening all. One eagle in the nest when I opened the live cam.
Eagle in having fish
Eagle is finishing up with eating something.
And gone! Hi Glo!
Good evening one and all
Been home for a bit did see Belle eating a fish got snips
Hi everyone Sorry for the quick post and leave BUT I wanted to watch the eagle fullscreen and just enjoy that visit for a bit. Rainy rainy day here. Patches is not into cold and wet. Winter will be interesting BUT we will get through it. She has a special place on a small deck out my back door and has pretty much figured out it is better than trooping through the yard or down the street when it is cold and wet. It is a patch of artificial grass with 2 puppy pads underneath. Going to make things lots easier on both of us for sure.
Good evening to all ♥
I will try my best to explain the outcome of my cancer dr visit I had this afternoon.
The spot on the Carinal area which showed up in the CT is going to first be treated with an antibiotic and Prednisone in hopes that if it is inflammation it will disappear.
I am taking those meds now for 10 days. Then Pet scan is scheduled for Dec 9 and the next week on Dec 17 I will be back in for a visit with cancer dr for Pet Scan results.
SO - I am really asking for prayers that I have an inflammation!
We got you covered JO we will get you through this
chin up as you always do
you are one strong lady and we will always stand behind you
We will name it and claim it - it is inflammation. Damn spot be gone!!!!
I love you Mema Jo.
I love us.
Evening all!
No, I am NOT feeling better. Wanna know why? I'm not resting. HA! I TRY, but there is just so much to do! So my cough persists, but I still have totally clear mucous which is a good thing. Why am I such a hard head?
Jo, praying for inflammation!
Off to shower....
Good evening,
Prayers, Jo, and wishes for an inflammation.
Happy birthday, dear Hoda!
Got a call from Rus this evening. His train got evacuated this evening. They brought in the bomb squad and then evacuated the train station. By the time they decided things were okay, he had made his way via metro.
Please take care of yourself, Lynne2.
Cannot imagine not having a librarian in a middle school. I did work in a system that did not have a librarian for the elementary school. They decided that I should sent some 8th graders over to take care of the library while I taught three classes of English and ran the middle school library. This really did not work. Unsupervised, eighth graders do not get around to the boring task of shelving books. Eventually, the school found parent volunteers to take care of the library.
Maybe the library is the place for you, Sandi. Round up some students and parent volunteers to do the shelving.
