You’ve been QUITE lucky with those 50s. It hasn’t hurt that some of us have been slackers. LOL!

Visited Aunt Clara at the nursing home for a bit and did the grocery shopping. Got a few things done around the house since I won’t be home much tomorrow to do them. It’s HQ day plus there’s a big election night bash tomorrow evening I’ve been invited to.

Haha...I notice you agree a lot! :)

Besides, I have FB Purity...to get rid of stuff I don't want to see...and it tells me when someone unfriends me. LOL!

In case you'd like to try it...it's very safe and easy.......HERE is the link.

I wouldn't be without it now that I've used it! No more sidebar crap, no more posts I don't want to see...lots of good features and you can pick the ones you want to keep or weed out.

Facebook won't support it, for obvious reasons, but they do allow them to have their own Page

oops...just noticed I need to get the newest upgrade. :)

WOOHOO!! Sounds like things went better than expected this time.

Typical Wed. -— got the ol’ pea brain rattled by Aunt Clara for a bit and loaded up on cat food. LOL

Thought we might get a little rain but it didn’t happen. Maybe tomorrow.

Did they get all the fires put out up there?

He was the only one paying attention. I was watching sea eagle babies get fed. :)

A good day, thanks very much. After I got up and about it quickly became apparent I would not be in shape to work this week. My son John-Man, with a little assistance from me, cooked a killer Chicken Parmigiana for his sweetie-pie's birthday this evening.

I was late getting to the computer tonight so didn’t get a chance to give him a run for the money. LOL

Glad the eaglets have been getting to eat. Haven’t pulled the cam up yet. It was raining when I pulled it up this afternoon, and still dark over there.
Guess I need to check on them now, huh? :-)

Yay! Glad you had a good day!

And it sounds like John-Man’s sweetie-pie had a good birthday with you and him preparing that scrumptious dinner. Lucky gal!

Yeah..they finally got a break in the rain. The eaglets are still stained brown but at least they have begun to dry out some. And the bopping continues, of course. LOL!

Indeed. New stuff requires a sharp mind.

There will be a little note in the top bar that says FBP and when you click on it, that’s when you can modify your page and newsfeed to be the way YOU want it rather than the way FB wants it....to be as annoying as possible. LOL!

I have the cam up now in another window and can see Lady. So nice to see the sun shining on her today. She looked so miserable 24 hours ago.

Haven’t seen the babies yet. Did #18 get a decent feeding?

He did! He was sneaky, stretching out from behind #17 to grab some nice big pieces of fish. He’s going to be ok! :)

Lady flew off a while ago to dry out. I’m sure it felt good not to be waterlogged! I love rain, but they get a lot of it. And according to one of the chatters, they’ll have more throughout the week.

Well good! I’m glad the lil sweetie has figured out how to snatch some of those pieces of fish. #17 was sitting on it last feeding I got to see and it couldn’t get anything.

There was a forecast posted in chat when I checked this afternoon and it looked like a soggy one. I’m surprised to see sunshine right now but am glad to see it. Sure is windy, though!

Yay! Lady left and we get to see the babies! Now where’s the cam op for some close-ups?
