Good morning, everyone! Last time OFA was scheduled to be on, there was a live stream.
Have a theraputic Thursday!
8:24 am on January 29th, 2015
Good morning HOH and all.
Cloudy and windy here, but no big snow till the weekend.
Probably won’t be able to catch the radio program, heading to work this morning. But is there a link?
8:31 am on January 29th, 2015
Barb, if you search WCAI CApe and islands NPR, the site should come up. Look for the show called The Point. Bout the best I can tall you.
9:13 am on January 29th, 2015
Have a good discussion Spence/Admin.
Good morning all.
9:45 am on January 29th, 2015
Oh well, we have already missed it. But we are sure that OFA was scintillating.
Bright sun is making the snow sparkle, but cold temps are keeping it all right where it is.

Callie and Gilly playing in the snow. (Tupper is much too dignified to join in)

I had to leave for work, but was able to listen to a few minutes of the interview before heading out. Boy, that SQ/PA is a smart guy! Very impressive.
Looks like Callie and Gilly were having a great time!
Snowing here!
10:58 am on January 29th, 2015
43° and raining cats and dogs. Heading out for a luncheon date with a friend. Be back later.
11:05 am on January 29th, 2015
Will listen to Spence/Admin later. Smart Guy? Yes, He is!
Callie & Silly Gilly having a ball! Say, Where is the Ball anyways?
1:10 pm on January 29th, 2015
And now: Best Superbowl commercial!!!

Good Day.
1:40 pm on January 29th, 2015
Said like a True Sibe Mom.
1:42 pm on January 29th, 2015
Playing in the snow! That looks like fun. But to really play you need a lot more snow. I wonder how the snow cover is doing up in Alaska.
Does CHobbit know?
1:53 pm on January 29th, 2015
For some reason I can’t play the video of Callie and Gilly just as I couldn’t play Teddy’s Dad’s video the other day. Irritating.
1:55 pm on January 29th, 2015

B: It’s on Facebookie too.
2:00 pm on January 29th, 2015
Staff: The last we heard C.Hobbit was Still Shoveling.
2:04 pm on January 29th, 2015
Bear: Thank you. I’ll check FB.
3:13 pm on January 29th, 2015
B: I don’t know if this will help or not, but the only way we can see those Videos is by Viewing on Windows Media Player.
3:26 pm on January 29th, 2015
Bear: I keep getting a message about updating Quick Time which I’ve done but it isn’t updating for some reason. I found the video on FB. Callie and Gilly are having fun! They make me want to go outside and play…almost.
It’s snowing here…again.
3:55 pm on January 29th, 2015
Maquers, Thanks for the link to NPR.
Howlers, I agree. That is the best Superbowl commercial.
Quick Time doesn’t work for me either. I would love to see the videos but I have run out of patience with Quick Time
4:50 pm on January 29th, 2015
Siber-H: Maybe Tupper’s Mama & Teddy’s Dad could post the videos to YouTube and you would be able to see them that way.
4:57 pm on January 29th, 2015
Everyone have their tissues ready to watch the final Parenthood tonight?
6:22 pm on January 29th, 2015
Spencer!…I’m going to wait till my friend gets home from the sucky-busy-place to listen to ole pointy head Spencer!…snort!…I hope he gets a word in edgewise what with all those women…heh!heh!
6:23 pm on January 29th, 2015
Barb!…Do not give away any Parenthood spoilers…gasp!…I think we may be one week behind…grunt!
6:30 pm on January 29th, 2015
Barb,Magpie,Lucy: Us too…We Will Watch Parenthood Tomorrow.
6:31 pm on January 29th, 2015
Riö: Thanks for doing the Plunderer Iditarod map. You’re the best!
Now…about this trip to the Superbowl…do you think there’s room for one more?
6:45 pm on January 29th, 2015
OK, there will be no blubbering, tearful comments coming out of us. Promise.
Junk food night here. Baked jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese, cheddar and bacon, then sausage and onion pizza. Heartburn here we come!
6:58 pm on January 29th, 2015
BM&L, that junk food dinner sounds super yummy!!
And Tundra, we forgot to tell you that our mom agrees with your mom about the way Budweiser portrayed the wolf. Other than that, theirs was a good commercial. Wonder why they couldn’t think of something more menacing, and not disparaging.
Dinner time!

That car ad was good. We liked it here.
Howlers, what does your mama know about navicular disease in horses? Lily’s 5 year old Appy probably has it. Vet was gloom and doom, and pretty much said they should try to get a trade-in with the stable. Would be easy if it were a car, but Lily loves this horse. Stable is suggesting special shoes and possibly a drug that increases blood flow. They will not due surgery, as it doesn’t look like there is much chance of being sound after that. Worst case scenario, they would find a home for him as a pasture buddy.
7:19 pm on January 29th, 2015
Hi everyone. I am cleaning house in preparation for a guest I will have for a few days next week. There is nothing like having guests to get a backlog of work done.
The Anchorage “bowl” area got around 10-13″ of snow last Friday. Nothing really of note since. The Talkeetna area got 15-17″ (Talkeetna is about 30 minutes north of Willow). So everyone is relieved but still wanting more snow.

We rewrote this to see if it gets past moderation.
7:41 pm on January 29th, 2015
B,M,&L, Mom has heard of navicular disease, but she is trying to remember exactly what she knew about it. It may be that one of the horses we looked at was found to have that in a pre-purchase exam, or maybe it was a worry for Shar, Pop’s old horse who had so darn many foot problems.
We recommend finding an excellent farrier; farriers are so much more important to horses, and horse owners, than vets, in Mom’s opinion. Correct trimming and optional “footwear” and/or pads can go a long way.
Here is just one article that explains.
http://www.novickdvm.com/navicula.htm
8:04 pm on January 29th, 2015
Howlers, that is exactly the same article we read and then recommended to Kelly earlier. According to the article, a long hoof and underrun heel can be easily corrected, but evidently Iowas does not have that issue. They are not going to over-react and are going to look at the shew-ing correction first. I think raising the back and putting a cushioned wedge in will help.

Rio, American Idol is on here right now. This time I remembered and maybe you can remember this time too.
8:18 pm on January 29th, 2015
Remembering!….Yes, tonight we are going to be on our A-Game and not miss any of the auditions on Idol?…snort!….Jeopardy just asked a question about Parenthood and the smarty pants player flubbed it…grump!…Who does not know the Braverman family?…wheeze!
8:20 pm on January 29th, 2015
We started watching Sons of Liberty, but is so grossly inaccurate, we can’t stomach it. Deleting all the episodes now.
8:28 pm on January 29th, 2015
It is Annie and Biddy’s birthday!!!! Macy! Tell those girls Happy Birthday from us us us!!
And give them kisses from us too.
8:44 pm on January 29th, 2015
Wot? two birthday dogs from the blog? Slim Jims all around! Yeep!
8:57 pm on January 29th, 2015
Whoo hoo, yodel howl from us, gals!
8:59 pm on January 29th, 2015
Inaccurate!…Howlers, give us some examples…snort!…I thought I was learning history from the History Channel…grunt!
9:00 pm on January 29th, 2015
Barb – navicular is not as common as it used to be. Farriers know a lot more about diagnosing an inflamed hoof and trimming correctively.
Iowa may be fine as a pleasure horse with a good farrier. We knew a riding school horse with ND – great farrier kept him up to speed, and when he was inflamed, he rested.
We truly hope there can be some help for this pony.
9:00 pm on January 29th, 2015
YEEEP!…Idol is starting without me!!…snort!
9:17 pm on January 29th, 2015
TG’s Mama, we enjoyed your video this a.m. The rain here stopped about noon and it went up to 62! Mom thought about a pair of shorts but:1) her knees are too pudgey and 2) she doesn’t wish to anger the snow dogs so will keep snowflakey themed outfits on thru the Iditarod.
9:23 pm on January 29th, 2015
Macy, it’s your babies’ birthday. Wow wow!
9:24 pm on January 29th, 2015
In 1765, Sam Adams was a portly middle-aged father. He was not a drunk.
No British soldiers were stationed in Boston in 1765. Hutchinson was not the governor.
We read that they even pretended that Sam Adams was at the Massacre!
Here is just one of many sites that tell you some of the inaccuracies. This show was pure fiction.

It is bedtime here. T.C. can’t stay awake.
G’night.
9:31 pm on January 29th, 2015
Gah!…What the HEEELLLL?….sniff!…Now we are not sure if we will continue to watch it…gruffle!…Entertaining but if it is all just a Samuel Adams beer commercial we do not want to endorse it…grump!…Will read more about it later. Right now I am enjoying young people auditioning to become a superstar!…snort!

Happy birthday Annie and Biddie! Any cake?
10:30 pm on January 29th, 2015
Annie and Biddie: Hope Youse had a Good One!
Did Someone Say Cake?
10:36 pm on January 29th, 2015
Annie and Biddie. Yum, I heard there was cake!
Oh yeah, Happy birthday!
10:45 pm on January 29th, 2015
Annie and Biddie – remember, on YOUR birthday, be good to your mama. You wouldn’t be here without her.
And that means sharing the cake.
11:00 pm on January 29th, 2015
Been an interesting day. Remember a while ago, Mama got a “new” car? She traded in her beloved, zippy sports car for a more practical car that could be used to carry Callie around and would be easier for Gramp to get in and out.
So….since then, she has been less than thrilled with driving. Where her car used to jump when she stomped the gas pedal, the SUV kinda just went” Huh? You talking to ME?”.
Plus, there were constant repairs needed on the SUV – its been in the shop 4 times!
She finally confessed that she really disliked that car. Guess what – so did Gramp and the Storyteller.
So now, there is a hot red, shiny new sports car in the driveway. V6 turbo, 306, 6 speed.
HOT DAM. Mama is BACK!
11:06 pm on January 29th, 2015
Wishing a nice Birthday evening to Annie, Biddie, and especially to their Mama.
We watched the last night of Parenthood. There were some smiles, many tears, and no comments as we say goodbye to the Bravermans.
Night all.
11:09 pm on January 29th, 2015
You go girl, you hot mama!
And good night, again!
11:13 pm on January 29th, 2015

Point!…We are listening to Spencer’s radio talk right now…snort!…If I had been able I would have sent in a comment about LA Confidential being a MUCH better movie than book…snort!…No doubt about it. The re-write and the movie were terrific! One that stands out to me big time…chuffle!
11:27 pm on January 29th, 2015
Rio – we loved LA Confidential (the movie)
And yes, you can ride to the Supper Bowl with us. But you gotta wear your seat belt. Trust us on this one.

11:37 pm on January 29th, 2015
Hot Damn! Hold On!! Golinka is back, and Speeding Down the Highway!

11:42 pm on January 29th, 2015
Well, let’s see…there’s Riö & Beau, and Bear & moi, and don’t forget Siber-H.
