It’s good to have FRiends! <3

[luvie]

Mine is, too. But I still feel the need to know why others don’t feel like I do. Silly things! LOL!

[luvie]

I’m trying the 3-window method. LOL! I got birds everywhere! :)

[radu]

There’s always something more interesting to watch. And less likely to raise my blood pressure. LOL

Face Off is on now and that’s a lot of fun. It’s interesting to see how movie make-up is done and the competitors come up with some cool creations. Tonight will be a rough one for them since they’re being put through “the gauntlet”.

[luvie]

That doesn’t even SOUND like something you’d watch. LOL!

Don’t ask me why I say that. :)

[radu]

LOL! I just watch one bird nest at a time, and change from one to another after a while. Not too bad these days. Brief checks on the nest with eggs and I flip back and forth between Savannah and Rome during the day. Not much activity on eagles’ nests at night so I just stick with the owls.
BUT, once the storks arrive in Hungary next month, nights will be more hectic since it’s daytime over there.

And next month all the eaglets will be hatched.

I don’t get much done from March through July. LOL

[PROCON]

Ya’ll awake?

[PROCON]

Ya’ll awake?

[PROCON]

Ya’ll awake?

[PROCON]

Ya’ll awake?

[luvie]

Storks! Now, that does sound interesting!

When there are babies, there is almost TOO much entertainment and hard to drag myself away from their antics! LOL!

[radu]

I love it! I’ve watched it since the first season. It’s on SyFy so they don’t do basic make-ups. Fantasy, sci-fi, horror, stuff like that.

[luvie]

Ohhhh....you BRAT!!! LOL!

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!

[radu]

ROTFLMBO!! I just KNEW you were lying in wait!

[PROCON]

What?

I was done with my movie and just casually strolled into the Canteen......Heh-Heh...

[radu]

I LOVE the storks. Been watching them a few years now and am anxiously awaiting their return from Africa.
Three of the cams were left running through the winter and I check in once or twice a night to see what the weather’s like.

Yes, the babies are quite entertaining and watching them grow and eventually fledge is something I look forward to each year. There are so many cams out there now but I’ve chosen the few I like best. Fortunately, their seasons are staggered so it’s not too overwhelming.

[radu]

Yeah, riiiiiiiight. :-)

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy!

Happy moving day, I'm sure you're overjoyed with the new digs.....or NOT!

[PROCON]
