Fetching Faces - UPDATE January 30, 2024

Fisher male
Actually, all the visitors have fetching faces when they look at you just right, but it’s hard to beat the fetching faces of the fisher and especially the fox as they look in the window like these two did. The minks have a more impersonal look as they go about their business more deliberately like this large male or scamper blithely by like the smaller one that was doing that a lot in the update of a week ago.

The fox also makes himself adorable by being the most trusting of the bunch. He looks at you interactively to see what you are holding or tossing, not like he is ready to run. They all add a lot to each day.

Thank you for all you do,

Hi EV1, 5:33 I am so average.
Cal I am very sad for Sweets.  I hope it helped you a little to share with us, your friends.  So very sorry.  How can he be his "unruly" self, if he can't stand up. 
What the heck is White Worm.  Is that some sort of goat parasite like heartworm?
That Doc has done it again for me with his wildlife photos.  He really should publish a book of his pics.  I have used them for my desk top wallpaper, and change very frequently, because each day he seems to send an even nicer pic than the day before.  I will try to remember to tell him that when I see him in July.
Hi Neva. 
I think I will go see Bonnie today.  I have not seen her in over a month, because a bingo lady there told me they had Covid in the ward.  I now doubt if it ever was.  She was Joan's BFF from high school, and now is a shut-in for memory.  We became close as families.  We often shared Sunday dinners, Holidays , card games, and kids birthdays.  Our children and her children were so close they were more like siblings than friends.  She probably does not miss me, but I do miss seeing her. Oh my! I just remembered I made a second cup of coffee.  It must be very cold by now.  CUL EV1 GBU, Israel, and Ukraine.

6:30  God help Sweets.
I did see Bonnie.  We had a good visit.  Annie had taken her to see her heart doctor in the morning.  He said she was doing very good.  She has a pacemaker, and that has cleared up all her copd she has had for years.  She still has to get insulin shots, but her weight is well controlled and her sugar was at only 200 before dinner.
Bonnie is a good hair dresser.  Karen has bravely trimmed my head hair.  I did my beard. I asked Bonnie how it looked to her and does it need some touching up?  She said, "no, it looks fine in the back".  Karen was proud to get good marks from Bonnie on her first attempt.  I want Karen to get comfortable at trimming my hair for several reasons. One reason is that I am cheap.  This fake anti- Biden inflation has let my barber raise his price from $10 all the way to $30 for my beard trim and haircut.  This is a crime to me, because I am almost all bald.  There is not $15 worth of hair on my whole head. My barber, and Campbells Soup, and Lays Chips, and the oil industry are in the same price gouging club.  All trying to make us suffer so we will blame it on Biden like we did on Carter. I have seen just a few articles  telling the truth about the gouging going on in our economy.   Excess profits are being reported in almost all sectors.
Well ok for now EV1 GBU, Israel, and Ukraine.

4:57 cool dry day.  35 degrees and cloudy.  no sunrise as I returned from taking Nick to school.  It is a forty mile round trip to drop him off before 7:30 am.  We all get a early start.  His Dad brings him and Odin to Debbies on his way to work.  He starts at 7 in another town. Odin stays the day with Debbie and Bash.  I have not spent this much time in the predawn darkness in forever.  It is normal for school kids though.  I see lots of kids waiting in the dark for a flashing bus to show up.  At the school there are hundreds of cars lined up dropping off kids.  I went exploring this morning to find a backroad to home.  To do this I had to turn left out of the school drive.  There was one car in front of me also turning left.  With all the cars coming into our drive we waited for at least five minutes before a car finally let us out into the main road.  The mom in front of me was happy just sitting there until I had to blow my horn to let her know a car was trying to let us out.  She was happy because she was just going down the road a few hundred feet to drop off her younger children in grade school next door.  I think she was too early and still had time to kill. The school was still pretty dark, and there were only a few cars around it.  I won't go that way again.  I will follow the herd to the right.
Well now I am home and kind of sleepy.  Glad I do not have classes this morning like Nick does.
OK CUL EV1 GBU, Israel, and Ukraine.

 Palm Core ...  23:02    55°   (1:22 pm)   It was raining earlier and still pretty cloudy.  It's windy.

Cal   I'm sorry I didn't know about Sweets before now.  He's in my prayers too.  I'm glad he is showing some good signs of getting better.


Joho    I enjoyed your adventures in haircuts and getting Nick to school.  I agree with many of your opinions and conclusions.  We hear it said by the numbers that our economy is not doing all that bad, and yet we continue to be price gouged. 

Perhaps you can look at a map of the neighborhood where the school is, on an internet map and see how the other roads around there run.

[johoward]

Hi Neva,
 I am pretty familiar with the backroads.  I will just go to the right out of the school like I should.  It will be fine.  Debbie said I may be taking him to school for quite a while.  I will if needed, and I am glad I can help.
God help our friend Cal with all her caring tasks. Especially help Sweets who needs you now.
Cul Ev1 thanks for being here.

i have been hearing about this on barn radio

UPDATED: FEBRUARY 3, 2024 7:46 AM EST | ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: FEBRUARY 2, 2024 8:02 PM EST
WASHINGTON — The U.S. military launched an air assault on dozens of sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iranian-backed militias and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Friday, in the opening salvo of retaliation for the drone strike that killed three U.S. troops in Jordan last weekend.

The massive barrage of strikes hit more than 85 targets at seven locations, including command and control headquarters, intelligence centers, rockets and missiles, drone and ammunition storage sites and other facilities that were connected to the militias or the IRGC’s Quds Force, the Guard’s expeditionary unit that handles Tehran’s relationship with and arming of regional militias. And President Joe Biden made it clear in a statement that there will be more to come.

The U.S. strikes appeared to stop short of directly targeting Iran or senior leaders of the Revolutionary Guard Quds Force within its borders, as the U.S. tries to prevent the conflict from escalating even further. Iran has denied it was behind the Jordan attack.

It was unclear what the impact will be of the strikes. Days of U.S. warnings may have sent militia members scattering into hiding. With multiple groups operating at various locations in several countries, a knockout blow is unlikely.

Though one of the main Iran-backed militias, Kataib Hezbollah, said it was suspending attacks on American troops, others have vowed to continue fighting, casting themselves as champions of the Palestinian cause while the war in Gaza shows no sign of ending.

“Our response began today. It will continue at times and places of our choosing," Biden warned, adding, “let all those who might seek to do us harm know this: If you harm an American, we will respond.” He and other top U.S. leaders had been saying for days that any American response wouldn't be just one hit but a “tiered response” over time.

Wow! Faster than avg. 5:58. $0 degrees sunny and calm out today.  Blinds all open for solar heating.
Sweets eating drinking pooping not standing.  Too bad, makes me feel very very sorry, and sad.  Please God restore this boy to his gate ramming unruly self so Cal can be comforted.  We are with you Cal.  Stay hopeful.
I am fine, except for teeth.  Now bottom molar under the canal rooted one is suddenly sensitive to pressure and temps.  Darn, need to go to drugmart for Ibuprofen.  Dentist said Ibuprofen and Tylenol together is best combination for tooth pain.
Had a nice evening with Karen last night.  She fed us Cinnciati Chili and salad with Olive Garden bread sticks.  Then we tried to get some things done on her Ipad.  It is hard for me to help her, because evrything is so tiny.   Finally wound up watching Doc Martin which we both love, and later The Floor with Rob Lowe. The Floor is hard for me to grasp, but it is interesting.  She gave me some Ibuprofen, so I was able to sleep without pain.  Thank God.
 I am really worried why these teeth are suddenly hurting so much. The $1145.00 root canal doctor said he found no infection, just inflammation in the bad upper molar.  Now the lower one is hurting.  Darn!  Can't wait to see my dentist this week.
Debbie rested all day yesterday so she could help out at her dog rescue today.  She will be there until 4PM. I hope she is ok.  It is a fairly nice day here for their pack walk in Valley City.
Now I will go to Sam's for gas for school trips, and to Drugmart to recycle plastic bags and get pain killers.

People or animals exposed to Giardia may experience mild or severe diarrhea (loose stool/poop), gas, stomach cramps, nausea (a feeling of upset in the stomach), or dehydration (loss of water in the body causing weakness of dizziness). Some people experience no symptoms at all. Fever is rarely present.

maybe sweets has this what vet thought so treating him for parasites they should be dead by now treating him this is day six ver said treat him for five days
