WOW! 4:21 Must be my day.
 I think I will work on some finances. Like taxes, bills, etc. LOL
I just heard the CEO of United Health Insurance Co.  was shot and killed in New York. I would guess his company turned out the wrong crippled old lady from some rehab facility.
Debbie is impressed that we have the same birthday.  She laughed at the "hidden" white fluffy dog pic.
I will leave you now.  Good luck at the doctor.
GBU EV1 and Ukraine, Israel, and all who are suffering today.

lots of snow in Ely now.  Mail truck is at my box neighbor Denise says.  She asked for my phone number to let me know.  Soon I will give it to her so she can skip the neighbor network if she wants.
 So first I will go get the mail.
Lots of great Happy Birthday calls today.  From all locations. Bear Chatters first thing.  Then Nieces, Grands, ex girl friends pretending to be Marilyn Monroe.  What a nice day. TYG!!!!  I feel very blessed.
Now I will go get the mail, then lunch, then Odin, then let Duffey and Abby out, then dinner with Debbie.  What a nice 85th BD.
Bye now. GBU EV1

hi you guys its 18 here 17 in longyear and 35 in iceland. i was watching weather channel last night and news so much in the news saw a minute ago that now health insurance wants dr to keep track of exactly how many minutes a patient is under anesthesia

Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Won’t Pay for the Complete Duration of Anesthesia for Patients’ Surgical Procedures
Another Example of Insurers Putting Profits Over Patients

CHICAGO – In an unprecedented move, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield plans representing Connecticut, New York and Missouri have unilaterally declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia care if the surgery or procedure goes beyond an arbitrary time limit, regardless of how long the surgical procedure takes. The American Society of Anesthesiologists calls on Anthem to reverse this proposal immediately.

omg i would not want to wake up during a surgery

hi joho i saw tons of snow it said great lakes and buffalo ny and lots of areas are you getting tons of snow? they did mention lots of snow for snows place.

4:49  Had a very good birthday.  Heard from lots of dear relatives as well as several old girl friends.  One called, and was singing "Happy Birthday" ala Marylyn Monroe to JFK.  LOL She is over 90, but she is a card.
Deb took me out to dinner at Sorentto's Italian Ristorante.  It was very nice. She gave me a very nice Dad's card for an "85th" birthday if you can believe that. She said they don't sell many of these.  LOL
 We had stuffed mushrooms with a delicious sauce over them.  Then a bowl of wedding soup.  She had shrimp over spaghetti and I had spaghetti with meat balls in marinara mushroom sauce.

Oh my!!! we are just getting a winter weather alert right now. I will have to go out at about 11:30 to see a lawyer for John's estate.  Then I have to go get Odin from the bus at 3:25.  I have good aggressive tires on my car.  So it should be OK if I go slow.

Yes Snowman is really buried.
CUL EV1 Thanks for being here all of you, known and unknown.   God Bless us all especially those who are sufferring or afraid.

Well just got back from getting Odin to his home.  We finally got some snow, and the roads are so slippery my car kept wanting to go sideways.  My cold is awful, and so is Debbie's.

A Shy Marten, a Swooping Eagle, and a Good Day - UPDATE December 5, 2024
 
Pine marten
Excitement started before it was light enough for anything more than an ID picture. A pine marten stopped by for the first time in a loongg time. From its small size, it had to be a female. I hope she was happy with the peanuts she was eating back in a shadow until she stuck her head out in the light for a quick click. I hope she comes again.

 Bald eagle

 Bald eagle takes flight
Bald eagle takes flight
Then, having seen an eagle pass over the last couple days, I put some five pounds of beef fat outside my desk window. Ravens flew close but didn’t dare land so near. Then there was a startling swoop and the fat was gone—like we saw over and over earlier this year. An eagle! It must be one of the eagles that nested a mile south of here this past summer and made many swooping visits. Also, like the eagle of this past summer, it later sat up in the big pine across the yard with its eagle eye on my desk window where I was aiming the camera at him. Eventually, the eagle took flight, heading this way for a final look/see before heading off for the day. I want to see more of him, too.

Chickadee
Chickadee

Then, at the other end of the size spectrum, a chickadee reminded that there are more chickadees visible now than I’d seen at any one time all summer. Somehow, it made me think of the Christmas song “You better watch out. You better not cry. Better not pout. I’m telling you why. Chick-a-dees are coming to town!’ –or something like that.

Thank you birds and animals, and thank you all for all you do!

7:26, but texting Debbie in the meantime. She really liked the doggie tool caddy.  It suited her perfectly.  She is a biker babe.  John her ex had a restored 1955 HD. She likes bad biker boys too I think.
BTW what kind of store is that behind the horses head I wonder?
    Busy day today.  After I get done here of course. LOL
  Executor acts, Seamstress coats pickup, banking by appointment, skin doctor routine annual visit, and finally get Odin off the bus for sure. Then let Duffey and Abby out at Odin's house. I can do it.
Wow! Doc has trained the eagle to come for fat off his porch.  Next she will bring her chicks to lunch there. Maybe.
We are a little snowy this morning and cold at 27 degrees with weather alerts going off.  Probably for "Squalls".  Today's catch word.

I will say bye for now.  HAGD EV1 GBU, Israel, Ukraine, and especially America where the inmates are running the asylum.

5:53  Practice does make better.  I did this at 7am and forgot to post.  Hit the couch instead. LOL  Still getting over my cold.  My earlier try took about 7 minutes, and now only 6.  So much better.
Still some snow around, but warmer and bright. I will go for the mail soon.  Not expecting anything important.  I got some very nice cards and propped them up for breakfast company.  Isn't that sad?
Oh my phone is ringing.  It is an old friend.  She will be 88 on 12/16.  FYI
I made a second cup of coffee this morning.  Then fell asleep on the couch and forgot it. I am going now to reheat it and make some lunch.  It is almost 12:30.
