This Night Owl Blog has given so much!
It is a fun place, we don't bash and we have fun being "tedious"!
We offer advice, give love, lots of free food and an open forum which can be about anything that is important, thought provoking or just plain silly.
And sometimes we just March (some to different drummers, but all together). :)
It is not about a single person, it is about all the people on any given day blended together.....Goldie!
I'm not pretty today cause my throat hurts and it's going to explode and all my organs and intestines will fall out. So i'm going back to bed and the next commenter can be the pretty one today.
SHIRRLLLEEYYYYYYY!!! WEEE...you are back... and beautiful! :) Good morning!
Mary: I love this! I saw another version of it in another language and I so love it. Thank you for that. It reminds us that our kind words are important to one another and for one another. Love you BFF!! (So proud to have such a wonderful BFF!!!!) <3
Shirley: You are pretty... but you are feeling pretty sick..hugs...still beautiful with the scratchy throat and internal pains.. Love you..get well soon!! xo
Area 51: Di: Thank you, I feel very good about the accomplishment and thank you for the compliment! :) Being an inspiration to others means a lot to me. I know that you have heard this before but really, I feel like, If I can do it, anyone can!!! :)
Good Morning Iteach - Is Matthew worse or is it a general check-up? I always felt so helpless when my kids were sick especially when they were really little. Now it's the grandkids I worry about.
Bebbi - You are always so bright and bubbly in the morning. It must be the weight loss that makes you sound so good. I didn't sleep well last night so I feel like I am a hundred years ago. I will feel better after my afternoon nap. I think I am turning into a wimp. My little ordeal yesterday left me upset for the day.
Mary - That video brought tears to my eyes. We have a lot of homeless in this city because we have the mildest climate in Canada. They all look alike but they all have different life stories and I worry about them when the weather gets cold. There is such a negative feeling towards them here. We do have homeless shelters but they can't take their dogs in and many of them have dogs for company. The message of the video was great. One can do a lot of harm by choosing the wrong words.
From area 51 - Dianne, I didn't know you have had such an ordeal with your teeth this year. I wish God had made our teeth like he did gerbils. Their teeth keep growing. If one falls out another grows back in.
Jodi - I hope your dad had a better night. It is Good Friday and I am going to church. I will light a candle for him. Then I will make my Hot Cross Buns. I will send some out to the nest. I am so late in making them this year.
SHIRLEY: How nice to see you first this morning and I can say you are pretty even if you feel sick today...You are pretty!!! I am ready to see your bright sunshine avatar soon (when you get better) I think you worked too darn hard and your resistance got low. Take care of yourself and sleep.....best medicine IMHO.
TINK: Well, it sounds like you have a busy day today. I hope I can remember not to eat meat today. I can already smell those Hot Cross buns and you probably haven't even started them. I have been at the dentist so much that some of these owls thought I was (or am) carrying on with him..I even told him that.
BEBBI: Any plans for the weekend? My SIL is getting sent home a lot with no work at UPS....could you work on that as it isn't woking too well for him....thanks.
ITEACH: I hope your son gets better. Let us know what the doctor had to say. He needs to be searching for Easter eggs..not being sick.
MARY: I like the blog today. I could hardly wait to see what the words were that the woman wrote on the sign. Gives you an uplift for the day. BTW, Can I "borrow" your winnings from yesterday? I'll gladly repay you on Tuesday, etc.
Di: I told them to get busy, I will have to have another talk with them...or maybe start suggesting people buy more stuff to ship! :)
Oh, man..what a day. I was eating a turkey wrap and bit into a bone! And well, it took out part of my back tooth! :/ So, I had to go to an emergency dentist visit and now have a temporary crown...two weeks and then a real one..
Also, they gave me the shot to numb me and my left eye started blinking rapidly (the tooth was on the right). The dentist said that it usually was on the same side but what happened was she hit a nerve that numbed my eye area and forehead instead of my lower jaw. So I couldn't close my eye and the wrinkles on my forehead when I frowned were only on one side (temporary botox!!).... fun fun..so I had to get two more shots. Then, they had trouble making the impressions and had to do it 4 times. They beat me up good..lol. woah.. But, I am hoping that I won't wake up tomorrow and feel like I was hit by a mack truck and I am thankful it happened when the dentist could see me right away! yikes..what a day. Good Friday!! ha ha.
Mary~ I LOVED this video~ I couldn't wait to show the hubby, but before I could, he had a video he wanted me to see....and it was this one~ Thanks for sending it in~ It's such a good message~
Shirley~ you look like crap! :)~
Bebbi~ SO pretty today~ :D
Teachie~ Hope Matthew feels better soon~
Tinka~ So sorry you had to go through all that yesterday~ Hope today is better and can't wait to see ur hot buns~
Di~ good for you~ I was wondering if you'd go back to volunteering~ yay for you~
Jodi~ So glad your dad his flirting~ that's cute! And I told you he'd make a good Catholic!!!~
It was funny, Tina, my daughter and I laughed about it too.. :) Woo hoo. :) Ahhhhh the fun surprises life can throw at you. Marathon sessions in the dentist chair..woot woot woot. ;0
Di: No plans..we were going to have a yard sale but it is going to rain all day. So, just yoga, zumba and maybe color eggs on Saturday. My mom is cooking a meal on Sunday.
Bebbi - What a day you had. It makes my yesterday sound like a picnic. I hope you weren't planning on taking a lot of pictures on Easter Sunday. You may not look your best. Hope you wake up, not feeling like a Mack truck had hit you but rather like a million bucks.
Tina - My buns will be coming out of the oven soon. I had to balance my nap, going to church and punching down my buns. I don't know why I left it so late. I will send some when they are iced with a cross. When I was a kid we were never allowed to use a knife on Good Friday so we had buns that we could rip apart with our hands. Did anyone else have this custom?
Dianne - You have every reason to not want to talk about dentists. I have never heard such a horror story. At least it's their fault and you don't have to pay, (if that's any consolation).
Hi Lynn - Any baby stories? We have a ten month old grandson. My son works with Jack and that's one of the first questions I ask him each night, "Any baby stories?". I am always disappointed when there aren't any.
Jodi - I lit a candle for your daddy when I went to church to pray at "The Stations of the Cross" I hope it helps. I also found another prayer for you to read to him tonight. ((((Hugs))))
May the blessing of the rain be on you— the soft sweet rain. May it fall upon your spirit so that all the little flowers may spring up, and shed their sweetness on the air. May the blessing of the great rains be on you, may they beat upon your spirit and wash it fair and clean, and leave there many a shining pool where the blue of heaven shines, and sometimes a star.
Hi everyone. I feel like Bebbi lol. Hubby kept me up last night with his coughing and a sudden hip and back pain. I got some sleep, but it was pretty "cut-up sleep". If he is not better by Monday I am dragging his ars to the Dr.! I got gross-eries and had my "shingles shot". Mr Mar, (who from here on will be called "Jimboob", ok, just Jim lol!) is not up to our fish dinner at the VFW, so I will be getting some to-go boxes. At least he is buying lol! Thanks for all the comments. I loved this vid too. Just the thought that I could not see the day no matter hoe good or bad it was just tore me up! I have border line glaucoma , so it touched me. Hmmm, I just read having glaucoma means I can use mara-jew-wanna legally :)
Shirley,get better Lady. Are you all taxed out???? Waving at Bebbi, Tinka, LynnD,iteach & Diane~~~
It rainy cats and dogs here. We have had so much rain, that we are all getting a little cabin fever.
Speaking of fever, Matthew's is gone and now he is just left with a little cough. The doctor said that there was this cough viral thingy going around and it should go away by Sunday.
Bebbi,part of my crown came out two weeks ago and I don't go to the dentist until May 2nd. It doesn't hurt, I feel like a little kid, because I keep putting my tongue in the empty spot.
BEBBI: We are going to my daughter's for dinner on Sunday...just Louis and I and my brother and his familly and my two GD's. Have a good weekend.
ITEACH: Boy, we could sure use some of that rain...no rain or snow almost all winter and we are bone dry!! It's beautiful and green out but dry and lots of fires Glad your son is feeling better.
MARY: I think I will have a guacamole tostada and a cheese enchilada for dinner...no meat...still trying to remember (so far so good)
TINK: I have never heard of the knife custom..interesting. I picked up some buns at the store and thought of you. I would much rather have some of yours----even if you do punch your buns lol
Iteach - I am happy that Matthew is feeling better. Sometimes children can be so sick one day and recover the next. It's their youth I guess. At my age I get sick and it takes forever to feel normal. But then I am 39. That's quite a bit more than Matthew.
Iteach - Yes I still have my teddy bear room. My 3 year old granddaughter just loves it. She can stay in there for hours. She especially loves anything to do with Winnie the Pooh and there are lots of little figurines. My doll room has been moved downstairs to make room for a den for Jack. I guess he should have preference over my doll collection. LOL
Dianne - They took that rule about no knives on Good Friday very seriously in Catholic households on the East Coast. It was because He had a sharp sword thrust through His chest to make sure he was dead on the cross. I don't think anyone out West goes by that practice.
Dianne - My husband just came home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I love being married. Remember I told you the only reason I would get married again would be to do up my necklaces and you sent me the clasps? Well I think I was mistaken. There really is a little more. LOL
Mary, I also got a little teary eyed watching this video. It was very touching. Maybe I missed it, but I don't think the lady that re-wrote the sign gave the guy any money. I guess she thought since the sign brought him so much $$$, that was her contribution. ijs
Shirley, you are pretty even with a sore throat. Hope you feel better soon. Try some tea with lemon and honey. It's soothing.
Tinka, My family moved to CA from New York and I have never heard of the knife thing on Good Friday. We did go to Church from noon to 3:00pm and we were not allowed to listen to radio or watch TV. The radio and TV thing may just have been my mother's way to get some peace and quite, though.
Waving to all the other Owls. I hope you are all had a nice day.
SacBarb - I thought the same thing. Why didn't the lady at least give him a dime?
I guess our not using knives on Good Friday must have been a custom in Eastern Canada, probably brought over from Ireland or England. They had a lot of different customs there. When someone died, the person was embalmed and made all very pretty by the mortician. Then he or she was laid out in the parlour for three days. Each person in the family took turns sitting beside the coffin until the three days were up. Then there was a big wake. I think it still happens in some families back there. That has never been the custom out West.
My great grandparents came out from Ireland during the potato famine. They were planning to go to New York. If the story is correct (and who knows if it is) they got as far as land which was Cape Breton Island. They got off the boat for a rest and the women wouldn't get back on the boat so they settled there. Many others did too so the East has a definite Celtic component with all of its customs, songs and superstitions. When we moved to Victoria we found it to be very English.
MARY: What a great video..wonderful message! I think the woman changing the sign was worth more than the money she would have thrown in the can..I saw it as her donation. Thanks for warming my cockles.. :)
I hope MR MARYJIM feels better soon! :)
SHIRLEY: Your throat doesn't look so hot..but you look beautiful! I hope you feel better in the morning!
BEBBI: Yikes..sorry to hear about your dental ordeal!! LOL@ having only one eye on that side.. ;D
ITEACH: I hope Matthew is feeling better!
BARB: We weren't able to watch TV or listen to the radio from noon til three on Good Friday either..your mom and mine must have had the same idea..quiet please.. :)
TINKA: I love love love your post to DIANNE about marriage..it really made me smile. ps..you have an email.. :)
DIANNE: So are you orange..or red? ;D
TINA: Too bad you didn't keep the nun car for the twins..or did you?
LYNN: I saw you peeking in there!!! :)
Just got home a little while ago..long hot day..and my tummy didn't like it..going to go relax a little and manipulate some sheep.. ;)
TINK: Yes, I remember sending you those necklace magnets to make you happy to not be married and now just look at you!!! What are you doing for your birthday tomorrow?
Bebbi OMG! I didn't know turkey wraps could be dangerous! Geez, you are a trooper to have taken it so in stride like you did. It was a little funny to picture you with a half numb face and one rapidly blinking eye. LOL
70---wahoo....twice in a week...a record for me!! There has been a really good country music show on tonight on CBS called Girls Night Out..tons of great music and even TINA'S Jennifer Nettles. Ronnie Dunn sang her song Stay and it really sounded pretty without that nasal that I am not crazy about...now TINA will be probably calling me and singing!
SacBarb I hope you had a nice day, too. Mine was pretty good. Running around today doing last minute things for the grandson's b-day tomorrow and then Easter.
I was reading the comments again and all the talk about he dentist just reminded me that Matthew lost his front tooth today. I have to hurry up and put money under his pillow. My heart stopped for a second, I'm so glad I just remembered.
Dianne -We have a very busy day tomorrow and I hope I am up for it. First thing in the morning we are going shopping for last minute Easter goodies. Then Jack and I are having our done at the same time,same place. (Isn't that so cute it makes you sick?) Then it's home for a Slim Fast and a nap. After that we are heading up island to our son's family home for a little Easter party for the two little ones. They won't be down here on Sunday. Then we are going out to dinner and then driving home. It sounds like a great day except I have to go in a wheel chair or I wouldn't make it through the day. That makes me feel like I have become my mother. I won't have much time to blog but I will jump in whenever I am home.
I fell asleep early (more like passed out)....and now I can't sleep. I'm going to take a shower and head back over to Dad's. He was very weak yesterday. The CNA from Hospice made him some eggs and he had a hard time with his right hand. He kept grabbing the side of the plate to pick up his fork. He really isn't eating much anymore. The Ensure shake that I opened for him on Thursday was still full and I had to throw it out. I had opened another one for him when I left earlier yesterday, but when I came back a couple of hours later, he hadn't touched it. Before I left, he was trying to use his inhaler, but didn't realize that he was sucking on the wrong end.
Tinka My, you do have a busy day planned. It sounds like a fun one, though, wheel chair or not. And yes, there are other nice things about being married.
Jodi, definitely thinking about you and your Dad! My Father may be about to start some experimental treatments to help stave off senile dementia, but obviously, at 90, I'm not expecting them to produce any miracles.

Good Morning Iteach - Is Matthew worse or is it a general check-up? I always felt so helpless when my kids were sick especially when they were really little. Now it's the grandkids I worry about.

It was funny, Tina, my daughter and I laughed about it too.. :) Woo hoo. :) Ahhhhh the fun surprises life can throw at you. Marathon sessions in the dentist chair..woot woot woot. ;0
I thought I was stroking out when my left eyes starting blinking rapidly..lol.
left eye..I guess I only have one on that side..lol
Di: No plans..we were going to have a yard sale but it is going to rain all day. So, just yoga, zumba and maybe color eggs on Saturday. My mom is cooking a meal on Sunday.
I don't like to talk or think about dentists!!!!
Di: What about you? Grandkids plans??? :)
LOL Di! I thought of you actually..when I was sitting there for HOUuurrsss.... he he.
That was beautiful. Thank you Mary!
Bebbi - What a day you had. It makes my yesterday sound like a picnic. I hope you weren't planning on taking a lot of pictures on Easter Sunday. You may not look your best. Hope you wake up, not feeling like a Mack truck had hit you but rather like a million bucks.
Tina - My buns will be coming out of the oven soon. I had to balance my nap, going to church and punching down my buns. I don't know why I left it so late. I will send some when they are iced with a cross. When I was a kid we were never allowed to use a knife on Good Friday so we had buns that we could rip apart with our hands. Did anyone else have this custom?
Dianne - You have every reason to not want to talk about dentists. I have never heard such a horror story. At least it's their fault and you don't have to pay, (if that's any consolation).

May the blessing of the rain be on you—
the soft sweet rain.
May it fall upon your spirit
so that all the little flowers may spring up,
and shed their sweetness on the air.
May the blessing of the great rains be on you,
may they beat upon your spirit
and wash it fair and clean,
and leave there many a shining pool
where the blue of heaven shines,
and sometimes a star.
Back to my farms. I surely love them. I don't know what the attraction is but 30 million others agree with me.
40 Happy Earth Day.
Hi everyone. I feel like Bebbi lol. Hubby kept me up last night with his coughing and a sudden hip and back pain. I got some sleep, but it was pretty "cut-up sleep". If he is not better by Monday I am dragging his ars to the Dr.!
I got gross-eries and had my "shingles shot".
Mr Mar, (who from here on will be called "Jimboob", ok, just Jim lol!) is not up to our fish dinner at the VFW, so I will be getting some to-go boxes. At least he is buying lol!

Hello Everyone!
It rainy cats and dogs here. We have had so much rain, that we are all getting a little cabin fever.
Speaking of fever, Matthew's is gone and now he is just left with a little cough. The doctor said that there was this cough viral thingy going around and it should go away by Sunday.
Bebbi,part of my crown came out two weeks ago and I don't go to the dentist until May 2nd. It doesn't hurt, I feel like a little kid, because I keep putting my tongue in the empty spot.
Tinka do you still have you teddy bear room?
Mary, someday I am going to be adventerous a show up a VFW dinner. I do think I will skip the fish one and go to the steak one instead. :)
Tina will each twin get a new car?
I didn't mean "hoe good or bad"! geesh!
Tinka loved the poem :)
Bebbi, sorry, but I got the biggest giggle out of your poor day :): Feel better BFF
Thanks Tina :)
I'm off to get fish.......
BEBBI: We are going to my daughter's for dinner on Sunday...just Louis and I and my brother and his familly and my two GD's. Have a good weekend.

Just got home a little while ago..long hot day..and my tummy didn't like it..going to go relax a little and manipulate some sheep.. ;)
Have a nice evening everyone!
Hello, HOoters!
Shirley You are so very pretty today, even with a sore throat. I hope you are feeling better and that nothing has exploded today.
Mary That was a neat vid. Thanks for sending it in. We all should count our blessings.
TINK: Yes, I remember sending you those necklace magnets to make you happy to not be married and now just look at you!!! What are you doing for your birthday tomorrow?

Bebbi OMG! I didn't know turkey wraps could be dangerous! Geez, you are a trooper to have taken it so in stride like you did. It was a little funny to picture you with a half numb face and one rapidly blinking eye. LOL
Dianne You just swooped in and took that 69 right out from under me. THAT was a little awkward! LOL But congrats, anyway.
70---wahoo....twice in a week...a record for me!! There has been a really good country music show on tonight on CBS called Girls Night Out..tons of great music and even TINA'S Jennifer Nettles. Ronnie Dunn sang her song Stay and it really sounded pretty without that nasal that I am not crazy about...now TINA will be probably calling me and singing!
Zona Aren't your cockles always warm? ijs :)
Tinka You have the most admired buns on the west coast. :)
Tina Now they will fight over who gets to borrow the car. Isn't parenthood grand?
iteach I'm glad Matthew's fever is gone. Try not to play with that tooth or you're going to make your tongue very sore. Been there, done that.
SacBarb I hope you had a nice day, too. Mine was pretty good. Running around today doing last minute things for the grandson's b-day tomorrow and then Easter.
Dianne2 First you interrupt my 69, grab it out from under me, and then completely ignore me. Why I never.......
LynnD You stuck your head in here so quickly that I almost missed you. I hope you are finding moments of yellow.
Bebbi2 I, too, am glad that you only have one eye on the left side. LOL
I was reading the comments again and all the talk about he dentist just reminded me that Matthew lost his front tooth today. I have to hurry up and put money under his pillow. My heart stopped for a second, I'm so glad I just remembered.
Have a great night everyone!
Iteach - How I remember those tooth fairy days. Treasure them. They make such sweet memories. Good night my dear and sweet dreams.
Just-Lin and Dianne - Do I have to put you two on the naughty mad? Imagine fighting over 69. I just can't believe it.
Zona - I hope you aren't getting sick again. Please take it easy my little one.
Got your e-mail and answered it. Talk to you tomorrow.
Dianne - Yes I am going to be 40. I guess it had to happen sometime.
I still treasure the clasps even though I don't need to use them now.
Shirley - I hope you feel better tomorrow.
Thank you for writing on my wall.
Dianne -We have a very busy day tomorrow and I hope I am up for it. First thing in the morning we are going shopping for last minute Easter goodies. Then Jack and I are having our done at the same time,same place. (Isn't that so cute it makes you sick?) Then it's home for a Slim Fast and a nap. After that we are heading up island to our son's family home for a little Easter party for the two little ones. They won't be down here on Sunday. Then we are going out to dinner and then driving home. It sounds like a great day except I have to go in a wheel chair or I wouldn't make it through the day. That makes me feel like I have become my mother. I won't have much time to blog but I will jump in whenever I am home.
Jodi - I did light a candle at the church today. I hope that helps. ((((Hugs))))
I am off to farmville and then to bed. Good Night dear friends. God bless and keep you safe.

TINKA - Thank you for lighting a candle at church for Dad. I printed the prayer out and will read it for him today ♥
MARY - Thank you for the video ♥
SHIRLEY - I hope you feel better soon!!
I fell asleep early (more like passed out)....and now I can't sleep. I'm going to take a shower and head back over to Dad's. He was very weak yesterday. The CNA from Hospice made him some eggs and he had a hard time with his right hand. He kept grabbing the side of the plate to pick up his fork. He really isn't eating much anymore. The Ensure shake that I opened for him on Thursday was still full and I had to throw it out. I had opened another one for him when I left earlier yesterday, but when I came back a couple of hours later, he hadn't touched it. Before I left, he was trying to use his inhaler, but didn't realize that he was sucking on the wrong end.
I'm not sure what I'm going to find when I get there, but feel the need to be with him now. Thankfully I don't work today.
Tinka My, you do have a busy day planned. It sounds like a fun one, though, wheel chair or not. And yes, there are other nice things about being married.
HOdi As always, hugs and prayers for you and your dad.

Happy birthday tinka
Jodi, definitely thinking about you and your Dad! My Father may be about to start some experimental treatments to help stave off senile dementia, but obviously, at 90, I'm not expecting them to produce any miracles.
