Good morning EV1.  Got up at five.  Was awake at 4, but could not go back to sleep.  This has been going on for a few weeks.  I've been dreaming a lot too.  This is new for me.  Maybe my new memory pills are doing this.  I don't mind the dreams.  They are kind of interesting.  Some like last night are scary.  I was with my big brother driving through a blizzard at dangerously high speeds.  He would not slow down.  I woke before the end of the trip.  So I don't know if we made it or not.  Sorry.
I bought a nice watermelon.  First of the summer.  Then I did not know what to do with it all.  Wound up taking half over to Karen's and sharing.  I will take a quarter to Debbie today at 10.  She needs me to sit with Cal a while.  Later I hope to get Nick from school and take him fishing.  Odin left for vacation this morning.  He will be missed.
Cal,  you are doing all you can.  Jim is helping a lot.  We are all doing all we can to be encouraging and praying for your comfort every day.
Cams look the same today.  I added the one from Ohio Backyard.  Right now I see a nice big bunny,  Yesterday I saw a big buck and a raccoon eating close together.  The racoon was being very brave.
May  GBU  and all who visit here.

Hi cal, jo and nan,

cal, How did PT go for you today?
Good to read you took some whole pain pills not cutting in half. Are you still icing your knee. You remain in my prayers for you to feel better soon.

Hi jo and nan

jo I hope you sleep better tonight.

This is a very busy week cleaning and preparing for my oldest granddaughter's high school graduation Friday. My son and dil from NC arrive Fri morning. Graduation Fri evening. Saturday family grad party. Sunday my oldest daughter's Bday dinner. Bday person gets to choose their meal. She chose my filled peppers, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes meal. Chocolate pies for dessert. 

Charlie has not felt good since last weekend. He has no energy. Feels exhausted. Eats and naps. I've been in touch with his cardiologist. He's diabetic too and his numbers have been too high or too low. We're trying to figure this out to get him feeling better.

6:50 Nice Jack Russell.  Forum seemed to be not working right.  First I could not reply.  Then I could not get other chats to show up either.  Been since last night. Feels good this morning now that things are working.
Sounds awful about that rehab.  Lots of "don't do that no more" going on.  However, "Do this", sounds even worse!!!!  So so sorry Cal. 
Looked at cams.  I think things are normal this morning.
 Nick had a good day yesterday.  Everything went his way.  The Hungry Bear was open and gave him his favorite lunch.  He caught the only fish, and it was a big one.  He got to spend his evening with his favorite girl friend.  His whole town was without power, but his friends home had a generator.  All Good.
  He and Duffey are at Debbie's this morning.  I will take them home about 1 pm so Nick can mow someone's yard.  He has a business of yard work with a partner too.  I think it's a girl he likes a lot.  At least that is what his little brother Odin told me. LOL  I hope Odin is enjoying his trip to Tennessee.
 I gave Nick "the money talk" I never had as a child, and asked if he wanted to start a savings account with some of his landscape earnings.  I was delighted to hear him say, Yes!  He already has $230 to deposit.  Maybe we can do something about that today. We will see.
Sorry to hear Charlie is not feeling well.
 Please God help him get through this ordeal, and don't forget all those who are suffering today.
GBU EV1

Oh!  Got through to "Reply", but I'm not ready to tell you anything.  I will take a look at our cams and finish this in a bit.  It's 10:13 now. 67 degrees and cloudy.
Big Bear babies are just looking out over the water.  Probably thinking about going for a little flight again.  Snowman is all neat with just a few Bluejays.  GSB babies are cute as ever.  They look like a little pile of dominoes all black and white dots.  T3 is looking big, and seems a little dryer this morning.  Excel babies are on the edge looking out at the future.  Still no video at the MO. TV cam. 
OK now I need to go.
Again Good Morning to you all GBU.

Hi everyone. Read back to catch up a bit. Cal, I am so happy that you're seeing a PT and that you like him (a dog lover-yay)! I know the pain is still bad and will be for some time, but it sounds like you are making progress little by little! I'm proud of you for trying your best!
Jo, thanks for sharing about the other cams. I don't watch that many but like to read about them. I also enjoy hearing about you and your family's activities. I dream very vivid dreams most nights but often have only wispy memories of them even if they are vivid for the first seconds after I wake up.
Paulie, I remember that June is always a very busy month for you! I was sorry to read that Charlie hasn't been feeling well. I hope by now there's been some improvement. Congratulations to your granddaughter on her graduation. Have fun with all of your family activities, but please rest when you can!
Have a good night everyone.

Hi EV1.  Good Sat. morning. 60 and grey out this morning.  Not bad.  Saw a lot of my favorite people yesterday. Put about 100 miles on my little car.  Will need gas today after my second coffee of course.
I did the puzzle in about 6 or & minutes, but lost it while trying to show Debbie Cal's post image.  Phone is messed up.  Keeps turning on the camera when I ask for files.  Had to give up. Have not had a chance to look at cams yet.  The GSB cam operator does pan the "cliff" cam around a lot, but there is a "Nest" Cam too that always looks right into the nest box.  I look at both.
I will leave you now for the day and get started.

Bye now.  GBU EV1 .

joho i just sent your messages to amy

6:17 Of the Zebra in the SNOW!!!
Hi Ev1 .  I have avoided the computer all day hoping it would work right and it does.  Thanks Cal and probably Amy.  You guys are the best.
 So sorry Amy about losing the North nest.  Although you did a great job restoring and baiting it.  So sad that the new nest failed.
Well getting very late here.  Still 62 out there at11:51pm.
Nick wants me to take him to the wilds.  It's a 2hour 49 minute ride, and the lowest cost ticket is $40.  I think that is why I don't go more often, but I told him to pick a date and I'll take him.
Now, if you will excuse me I will go to sleep.  Which I will do even if you don't.  LOL
GN and GBU all .

hi you guys another bad night up and down so sick and tired of this pain cant eat pain pills all the time like can only sleep for two hours at a time certain times today is jims bd i bought his mcdonald gift cards long ago he was surprised to get them good i did that wish i was back when i got them no surgery done jim sister husband tim got his tnr i think the third few days ago he stayed overnight went home that night he was screaming out in pain cathy called 911 firedept took him to wrong hospital not where he had his surgery tims bp was way over 200 they gave him morphine he had to stay got his bp back down and he is oxcodone now i think. im afraid i may have pain forever get nerve cut where i cant feel that knee leg. still have my muscle jim said cathy was yelling at tim too took his picture when he was screaming in pain jim said im sure tim liked that

hi joho happy you got back on dont mess it up if in fact you did by accident i saw four big little falcons waiting food they were lined up like school picture one just lean forward and pooped into box oh going to have to take pain pill is into the wild you ride thru see animals?

http://www.jigzone.com/puzzles/4C055D5A1C7F

[johoward]

Hi EV1.  Yes Cal, for $40 they drive you through several hundred acres of animal habitat for two hours. You ride in a big bus like truck with just a roof.  You can see it if you Google The Wilds.  Jack Hannah speaks of it on his Back To The Wilds tv program.  He is with the Columbus Zoo, and they own it.  Did not pick a date yet,
I'm very happy to be able to write this.  I don't know why it would not always let me in the past few days.  Sometimes I couldn't go from the forum index to any chat page.  I was blaming Microsoft, because they are always messing with me by starting up Edge when I click on Chrome.  Debbie says Edge is good and she uses it all the time.  I resent being made to do that.  So I stick with Chrome.  Also, I like solitaire.  In fact the two most used sites for me are solitaire and Jewel.  For both of these to not work is why I blamed Microsoft. The solitaire site will not do anything.  I can't even turn it off once it gets to a big blank white screen.  I have to shut down my computer to get rid of it.  So I thanks Microsoft.  Yahoo and AOL used to do this kind of thing all the time.  That is why I used Windstream for email and Chrome for search for the past many years.
However I am very happy you made it in this morning.  Happy BD to Jim.  He is a keeper, and we all wish him well.
Did you find the " GSB Nest Cam"?
 I'm on my second cup already.  Slept from about 12am to 7:30 am.  This is good for me but rare.  I been waking up at 3 or 4 and staying awake.  Then through the day I cannot stay awake.  I don't like that.  Sometimes I'll lay down after lunch and wake up at 4 or 5 PM.
I better let you go now so I can do the puzzle and look at eagle babies.
