Live Hummingbird Nest Cam – Oceanside, CA
Your watching a live broadcast of wild female hummingbirds nesting.
There are several Hummers that nest in this yard. Their nests are usually located bushes and no larger than the size of a golf ball. The nest is made from feathers, leaves and other parts of plant matter. She then wraps this material together with spider webs. The eggs she lays are about the size of a breath mint(tic-tac). Hummingbirds lay 1 or 2 eggs per clutch. You can expect to see them hatch after about 14-16 days from the date they are laid. The chicks will continue to grow in the nest for about three to four weeks before fledging. More information about the cams, set-up or to make a donation please visit alyssasnaturesanctuary.org.
Happy Earth Day
Hi Pam, Happy Earth Day to you too.
😄
I love it! And the caption. ❤️. Thanks, Pam. 😘
Happy Earth day Pam😍 and may Mother Earth have many more
I’m worn out. I’ve done a lot. I’ve cooked for Casey and did his treat box. I’ve got a start on supper, including getting meat and sides thawed out. I’ve called one company related to getting the RMD done and was on the phone a good while getting some info/help, then finishing on my own. I have another company to deal with but I’m not fooling with them until I get payments from the first company and know everything is settled with them. Now after I rest awhile I’ll actually cook supper, wash dishes and stuff. I also worked a… Read more »
WOW! You’ve accomplished a lot — Congrats 🎊
Thanks.
Sounds like you were busy, I hate phone calls. I had two…….Macys and the airlines.
Debbie since i turn 73 Dec.11 can i take my money out before that?
You can start taking it any time; you just HAVE to start no later than 73 1/2. When i was ready, i made an appt with the bank and had them help me. Once a year, in November, I take the minimum & have them take 10% for Fed Taxes and zero for State. I generally have to pay a minimal amt to the Fed and zero to State.
Thanks Pam!!! Rick has done it so he pretty much knows how much to take.
😘 That man is a keeper; you’re a lucky woman.
I am not the half yet and I could go on and take it. There was a place to input my birth date and for the first account I was on the phone with the employee.
I got to thinking, yes, you are 100% right. It doesn’t matter about the 1/2 for me because regardless I have to take the RMD this year. But Ardy can wait until 2027 if she wants to because her birthday isn’t until Dec.
Hmmm
Yes you can. Actually you could have done it any year. It is your money. After you formally retired you could have drawn on it any time you wanted, I think you could even withdraw the whole account, but that would be dumb under almost all circumstances. My CPA told me to take it out this year, I had the whole year to do it. I don’t think it makes a difference in the month you were born, but you may want to google to be sure. Technically you could wait until next year before April 15 but then you… Read more »
I only have IRA’s and CD’s at Bank of America. Then we have Morgan Stanley but that is differentr
If you have questions I’d call Morgan Stanley first. You can probably talk directly to your agent and he can give more personalized info.
You were a VERY busy bee today ! I was kinda lazy, lol.
Watching the news right now, then bedtime. Enjoy your supper.😘😘
Have a good evening you ALL, eat something good, be well. Sleep good.
Good night and poof….
Hi Gabi! I was busy. Tomorrow I plan to be more lazy. Hope you enjoyed your day, and now enjoy your down time.
Good morning
Have a lovely and relaxing new day. Love.😘
Good afternoon Gabi, hope your day goes as smoothly as a baby’s behind, and a happy as the baby’s giggle.
Hi debbie Had a busy day. Saw my urologist today, ultrasonic of kidneys, bladder … i go there once a year. Because since years i have a little blood in my urine, but all is fine. Blood is only visible with test strips. Then i did laundry, hung it up on my balcony in the sun, was dry an hour later. fixed a zucchini salad with carrots, onions and olives. Tomo i will see my eye-doc, checking on my glaucoma. Getting some more eyedrops. Had no time, to read bella chat today. Hope you are feeling good my friend. Need… Read more »
Hi Gabi. I didn’t know you had kidney nor glaucoma problems. Maybe cranberry capsules would help. I know they prevent urinary track infections, but maybe not the cause for blood. I don’t have glaucoma but my chances are greater than average because of an eye injury I had at age 11. I hope you get a good report and the glaucoma is controlled. I don’t think I’ve ever had zucchini salad but bet is is good, nice fresh taste. Get your rest and sleep for another busy day tomorrow. I hope it goes good. Love and hugs and good night.
When i had blood cells in my urine for the first time, doc told me to see the urologist. They checked everything, all was good. Since then i go every year for checking kidneys etc . The blood cells are probably from post- menopause. Nothing bad. I know the cranberry stuff plus mannose. Its good and can help when a UTI is coming. The glaucoma report was good today. It is treated with eyedrops. It was diagnosed not very long ago. What happened to your eye at age 11 ? Zucchini salad tasted a bit like cucumber salad. Was good.… Read more »
I’m glad you are being treated by the urologist and for the glaucoma. You are in good hands and I’m sure the glaucoma was caught early enough it didn’t do damage. When I was 11 I got hit in the eye by a rock shot by a slingshot by a neighbor boy. I was in the hospital about a week, had to go to a special eye clinic. It was very scary for me. i woke up at night and thought I had gone blind and quickly tried to find a light source to know I could see. I was… Read more »
My dear american habibi Yes, the glaucoma was caught early enough. No damage yet. Oh ,i am sorry for what happened with your eye and the rock hurting it. I can understand that you woke up at night and turned the light on, to check your eyesight. A scary experience! A good thing that you never got glaucoma. May it stay this way ! 👀 Today, i washed all my curtains, fixed a sild salad with apple, red onion, egg, sild (=young salted herring), dressing from yoghurt, vinegar, olive oil, dill, salt, pepper. Was sitting in the sun for a… Read more »
Hi Gabi, I’m glad your glaucoma hasn’t done damage and I hope it stays that way. I need to buy new curtains for the kitchen. They are actually torn! I have to measure the windows in order to search for the right size. Your salad, I don’t really know. I’m not sure if I ever ate herring. I think they are little fish? Something like sardines? I’m sure it was good, and very healthy. I’m doing really good! I feel better than I have in a long time. AFIB still stays gone. That is a blessing. I took my hummer… Read more »
Debbie 🌹 I somehow have not a lot of time lately, to read all the chat and i mainly use the bell which takes me to your last reply to me. This way i miss a lot, but it might get better again. Not too much going on over the fish either. Everybody is busy, lol. Havent seen Lin for a long time either. Anyway….its funny with the curtains, because i had a short kitchen curtain and a short bathroom curtain. Like cafe curtains. During washing yesterday they both tore, i guess the 🌞 sun exposure might have damaged the… Read more »
Debbie, I admire your dedication to getting that job done. I don’t have it yet. But I’m hoping it comes soon. 😘😅
Which job?
Clearing out the unnecessary and/or clutter.
hope that is the reason. It isn’t as good if the reason is they have crossed the top person.
I’m not sure which post of mine you are talking about, Debbie.
Me bad! I thought you were talking about govt employees being fired. Now I realize you were talking about what I did today.
🤣
Yea I thought cleaning out meant cleaning out people like Gabby.
I didn’t think of that, but very true. Clear it all out, get ‘er done.
But the clean out isn’t good if it is because someone stands up to leadership. Isn’t always loyal. I’m sure however that wasn’t the case with Tulsi.
I am almost at the point where I don’t care how it is done, just get them out. Most of them are not qualified for their jobs and are doing nothing but destroying our country.
Hot damn Debbie you were a whirl wind today!!! Wonders done😘
😆😁. I was busy! But I did it.
You know Julie, the really good thing is not so much I got things done. When I think about it, I never got that really over whelming tiredness that makes it almost impossible to continue. That is a really, really big thing for me.
Good afternoon…found some more donations and didn’t do much else. ..well, I did walk the dogs. I’m sitting on my porch now listening to the birds..had the rest of my tuna salad for lunch.
Hi Lynn. You must be cleaning out your house with so many donations.
I wish but…barely makes a dent, there’s so much stuff.
Then you must have either a very big house or a full house.
full house..I do this every year.
I love bird listening. So peaceful. Even the raptors, whose voices are beautiful in a different way. 🤗
Rick went to the grocery store to get some enchilada sauce to make cheese enchiladas and he brought me home. Another little surprise
yum…he thinks you’re sweet 😍
😁
Is he sabotaging your diet? 😂 It was nice of him.
I guess he doesnt hear me complain about being fat!!!
😄
Wow, you really rock!
He just loves you. So nice that he can show it. 💘
I can’t believe it, I almost forgot to say Happy Earth Day everyone😍🌎
And happy earth day to you too.
Hi Becki. Pres. Reagan’s fav.
It is also National Jelly Bean Day.
Love jelly bellys
.
HAPPY Earth Day!!
@KyDebbie I called Macys and was on hold 30 minutes…..the person said it cleared and I owe nothing but I betcha that is wrong.
I wonder if the bank might have provided them with the new account number, or handled it in some other way? The check had to come thru your bank, so the bank has both the old and new accounts. They can check your signature to be sure it is an authentic signature in their records. There is probably a red flag so they know to do this.
I am going to message you something and see if you understand it……we transferred money into the new account and it is all there.
When I had to change my debit card number for checking, my bank just switched it over
Rick used his new pin# today……I write checks too to pay for things so that is what she was referring to.
Hi Ardy. Your check may have been returned but may not have been processed through at Macy”s. Did your bank give you new checks with the new bank account number? If you pay anything directly from your checking account you will have to notify them of the new account number.
My online acct said it was returned and the guy said it cleared but That is what i am thinking , it didnt process yet.
I dont pay anything directly from checking…..I just write checks…..the new checks for new account were ordered and on the way.
That is why we went to SS….so they could deposit our SS checks.
I hope they get their hands on this person.
