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.

I just went thru my gem stone jewelry again and Rick took it to the pawn shop. I forgot i had earrings to match. I don’t wear any of it anymore and when I went to try the rings on I couldn’t even get them over my knuckle.

I had all the matching pieces…the pendant/necklace, The rings……..the bracelets and the earrings and I wore all of them to work and matched them to my clothes (of course) But, I havent worn them for probably 25 years now.

I have a bunch of that stuff too. I want to give some special pieces to Cody’s wife Laura and maybe save some for Lexi. Chelsea did those big ugly black rings in both lobes as her earring piercing; so none of my pretty pieces will work.

Jo unboxed the new shredder, snapped the head on to the basket receptacle and got it to where it goes in the kitchen a little area between the large computer desk and window. Lots of grunting ensued gettin it plugged in. She comes in the living room picks up a little package and asks, what’s this. I look and say the wheels. Some discussion later I basically tell her to bring it back into the living room, I couldn’t put the wheels on it where it was. She is trying to remove the basket and I tell her the tape… Read more »

I don’t use the shredder much. I do if something has a lot of account numbers or other sensitive info. Some papers put your account number in multiple places. If it is just my name, address I just tear it up myself. I’m more careful with birthday because they use that and zip code together often to locate you in a computer system.

Happy birthday Dad! Is the infection something other than Covid? How is your Mom doing with Covid?
Seems it is about 3 weeks since he has been in the hospital. I’m sure everyone is wishing they could see each other. I suppose you aren’t able to call him. Speedy recovery Dad.

Its a underlying infection, they are doing tests on his heart, he had to be put under for one test. My Mom is feeling much better. I can’t call him right now, my Mom was waiting for a call from his nurse to see if he can be able to accept calls? he might be transfered back to the nursing home today or tomorrow that’s all I know-going to shower njow

I’m so tired but not sure i want more caffeine..my mom woke me up last night, called because my sister usually calls her at a certain time and didn’t so she gets all upset and worried…tried to tell her that she had gone out with friends so probably was out late or might have slipped her mind since she wasn’t in her normal routine. She wanted me to text her but my sister has her phone off often and takes her awhile before she even answers my texts so I didn’t. I’m going to assume she heard from her because… Read more »

Oh I know about elderly mothers who panic when anything routine is disturbed. It puts stress on both you and your sister. You can’t fix this one except tell your sister and hope she understands the issue.

Good grief. My mother was like that with my younger sister. The opposite with me, especially as soon as I left for college.

If you usually call at a certain time and don’t it makes anyone worry not just Mom’s, its on Lynn’s sister for not calling. You can call before going out

I’m sure she just got busy with friends and was with them later than she thought and forgot..she probably thought ahead of time that she would..believe me Julie, she overworries about everything and it’s been difficult for family and relatives..she should realize too that people do have their own lives and sometimes do something a bit out of the routine and sometimes they might forget or be busy..might be a good idea to not have a specific time to call with her, I don’t..I feel she needs to calm down and maybe get help but she won’t….funny we can never… Read more »

I think you’d have to know the situation and have grown up with her, it’s not been easy..she could have just called my sister…,if she had her phone on she’d be more likely to answer that than a text from me..

Good morning Bella Buds. I have an endoscope Aug. 20 and had to do online registration. They had some written instructions and I printed them out. Seems I have to jump through for hoops than other times I have had this done. Maybe they have discovered things that help. All injection have to be discontinued a week prior. I understand why for the Wegovy, but why my Orencia? That is for rheumatoid. I’ll have to readjust my shots, basically going 8 days between two weekly shots to adjust my two shots to accommodate the scheduling of the scope. There were… Read more »

The Orencia until and unless they come out with a better medicine. Rheumatoid is a chronic, never cured disease. It won’t go away, neither will the damage it has done. The medicine slows the progression of the disease. I’m not sure about the weight loss drugs. I do know I will be taking half of what I’ve been taking. I have never had more than 1 mg even tho the top dose is 2.4 mg, way more.

I understand the reason for not taking the Wegovy but all injections was a surprise. They didn’t clarify. Do they mean a diabetic should not take injectable insulin. Surely not.

Maybe its better not to have the medication in you because of monitoring you for your procedure?
