They also provide education to the public about a broad variety of animals and their habitats.

@loaf,

Good day in Ohio I am always thinking of you and I miss you much.

@xango,

Good day in beautiful Florida. Oz is alright for now we were in the 30’s earlier
this morning. The heat was on. LOL!

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast of Florida. I know the HSN Site is a bit wonky.
I was able to get some Andrew Lessman with no problem. I have an issue with the
Recaptcha and sometimes I know to make a new thread. This is number 30 over
the past eleven years. I’ve had enough for 60 threads by now but I let one thread
go for two years straight. Oops!

Here is to feeling better from lifting take your time.

Have a bit of fun with the Decorator. Oz is alright today we have the Sun.
I am feeling much better.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Enjoy this day getting your nails done with you mom and sister.
I am feeling better our weather is so iffy. LOL!

I am going this week to get my eyebrows done I have to have a professional do them and they
look great afterwards. I may get a facial while I am out and about. I deserve this.

My SIL is healing nicely and I check on all the family daily. I am so proud of how our kids
helped out with a lot during this ordeal. Time will tell how this works out.

Enjoy your day and I am sending Spring Hugs to you and Jake.

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California. May this day find you doing well.

@sheba2011

Congrats on #30 and all your patience!!

So happy to hear your SIL is healing. I will forever pray for her because I know what my friend went through without success. It’s a tough battle and so far she is succeeding.

Nails are done on this cold, windy day. Woke up to some snow flurries this morning, yuk! Another cold night and we should gradually get a little warmer but more rain the end of the week.

Enjoy your relaxing facial, I think you should add in a massage. Look at it as a spring cleaning for the mind and body. Sending oh so many hugs to you and Mr. P.

@shoelady60,

Good evening I like that idea a the full treatment and where I go they do it all.
I have had a stressful year and Spring is here I am going to enjoy things for a while.

Enjoy my friend and have a wonderful evening.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California.

Taci new thread number 30 eleven years I cannot believe that. LOL!

Enjoy the trails today.

@sheba2011

I didn’t see hubby for two days. I had a swollen jaw, tongue and gums. The tongue part gave me quite a scare. Not only was it swollen but I had blisters. It all turned out to be a sulfite attack and this one was very similar to the one that started it all when we were in South Korea. The meds that I end up taking does dissolve the entire mess within three days. Today I was able to go out and about.

I did see hubby today. He was waiting in the lounge area and looked good. He must have had a hair cut. It looked great. A new style that looked fantastic and made him look years younger. He actually was in the mood for a pizza and I ended up ordering one. He actually should have eaten his on dinner which was pureed. However I did give him several pieces and cut it up into small squares and he ate it without a problem. .

I had to cancel the decorator for today. Will make a call to reschedule either tomorrow or Thursday. I actually looked like “Little Lulu.” All I needed was an apple for the top of my head (LOL),

For now, the computer is working OK. I will not hold my breath on this one. Have a great evening. Hope your cold is better. Wishing your SIL a speedy recovery.

Mmm. … I love empanadas! Ground beef (de carne) and Spinach (de spinaca) ones are my personal favs. Anyone want to weigh in? Have a beautiful day, Sheba!

@cat911,

The same to you and I find your name very interesting.

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in Florida.

@oodiebom,

Good day in Florida here is to feeling better. Oz is fine today.

Oodie please take care of yourself.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California here is to a nice Wednesday.

Happy Trails.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. The System is wonky today.

I will check back later.

Sending Spring Hugs to you and Jake.

@sheba2011

My computer is also wonky today, slow as a snail. Probably time for a new one.

Hubs walked in with some potato salad from the deli so I made hamburgers and sauteed mushrooms – it was like a holiday picnic dinner. Guess I’m wishing for spring weather.

Niece won a tournament in Ohio last weekend. She is starting to scout some schools and getting a resume ready for applications. Hopefully she can get a full scholarship.

Have a nice walk this evening, hugs to you and Poppy.

@shoelady60,

Good evening I wish your niece all the best. Congrats on the win.

Lady enjoy your evening.

Shoelady, Congratulations to your niece. Very exciting times for her. Lots of Golf courses here. Hint.

Sheba, Hello! Happy New Thread and 11 Years!
Today I decided to get a pedicure at a new location. It’s rare for me to get pedicures as I worry too much about cleanliness. This place is known as clean so I tried it out. It was good but she grabbed the wrong nail color. I didn’t say anything. My toes are neon pink. Not quite the muted lavender color I picked but it’s all good.
How is life in Shebaland? SIL hanging on there? I hope she is doing as well as possible.
You have a great family helping out.

@taci,

Good evening I was about to close out when I saw your post. I am LMAO!
Neon Pink go ahead live a little.

Taci in OZ we get the bottle of nail color we want and they help us pick it out.
I think it was easy for her to remove the color and put the color you wanted.
I think it is cute to live on the wild side. LOL!

I love this made my night. I mean that in a good way.

SIL is doing very well. Thanks for the 11 year thread shout out. Taci it was ll years last month.

• This reply was modified 2 weeks ago by  Sheba2011.

Sheba, this is it exactly! I laughed about it too and I think the people who worked there were passing me by laughing too. I didn’t want to say anything. I know I could have but she was young and really sweet. They handed me 2 color charts with a large variety.
Hubs hasn’t seen them yet.

@taci,

Hey he may go well what is this twinkle toes. I think he will get a kick out it.

So cool.

@loaf,

@xango,

Good day in Florida wishing you a wonderful Thursday.

@oodiebom,

Good day in Florida and here is to a nice afternoon. Oodie how are you feeling?
I hope you are being careful with those stools. No lifting if you can help it.

Oz is very nice today and the windows are open. YAY!

I hope you have a nice visit with your husband and things are moving along with
the renovations.

@taci,

Good morning in S. California. I had fun with the Neon Pink Nail Color. LOL!
I would have done the same thing as you I don’t like to hurt people’s feelings.
I am glad you just rolled with it and it is a fun color.

Oz is beautiful today and the heat is off. I am loving it.

I am getting my steps in today. Wishing you happy and safe trails.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. I do hope you are warming up a bit. OZ is alright today
and I have all the windows open. YAY!

How is it going with your mother and sister? My SIL is having a good day. I think the
worse is over I am praying it is.

I am not sure what’s for dinner but I will be creative.

Sending spring hugs to you and Jake.

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten in California enjoy the day.

@sheba2011

Good afternoon in warm Oz. Another cool, rainy day here. We will be in the 50s through the weekend. No more 20s at night, I hope. Enjoy the fresh air with your windows open.

Did some grocery shopping this morning. I’m being creative for dinner – salads! I have a little leftover chicken that I will add with the veggies.

Have to get moving on mom’s birthday. I think I know where we will eat, just need to decide on a cake/cupcakes. Sis is picking up balloons.

Have a great walk this evening with the warm weather, spring hugs to you and Poppy.

@shoelady60,

Good Evening Lady please tell me I did not forget your mom’s birthday. The last month
has been insane for me. So much going on in the family. I know our parents birthdays
are at the end of April. I have seeing butterflies again. Tis the season.

I was creative alright tonight. We had turkey sandwiches with a salad. LOL!

Kiss your niece and tell her congrats from all the girls on the thread. Well Done Sweetheart.

I would like to do a small gallery for your mom’s birthday just what I always do.

@sheba2011

You did not forget – your dad and my mom, same day!

Shoelady, I am getting used to the neon pink. It ‘s an eye opener for sure.
The Coral colors sound nice and what I would generally gravitate to as well.
Husbands are funny. Once I complimented someone’s toenail polish color and she told me her hubs hated it. I thought it was so cool.
I love the color Lavender and one of the bathrooms is painted in it. Maybe next time.

@taci

Taci, hope you are getting used to the neon pink – I love it!!! Just had mine done two days ago and I got a coral shade. I always like bright colors for spring and summer and it looks great if you have a tan. I got the light lavender shade one time. My husband told me it looked like I had a disease on my toenails, lol!

Thanks for the shoutout for my niece.

Sheba, Yes the picture you posted was so funny.
I drove off to my gyms 2nd location in another City to try it out. The Sales guy said I should check it out and that it was awesome. I must have been at the wrong one because it was the smallest location and missing many of the amenities but it had a great parking lot. I left and went back to my original location.
It’s great how you feed the critters. We can’t do that here because of the large amount of Coyotes with a Bob Cat or Mtn Lion thrown in from time to time. Once a beautiful white cat was in my backyard and it was very vocal. The cat had a gps collar but I called the owner because I was worried about the Coyotes. They are often on my Street and sadly pets have been lost. I let the cat in my house and it was just like a kid. When I called the cat from upstairs she came right down to the owner. Turns out it was a Thai cat and they are known to be vocal.

@sheba2011

Good evening. The planters arrived yesterday and today. Guess the weekend I will be busy weeding the front and planting some new things. The HOA does not like flowers or plants hanging over the wall in front. Yet, I think it is really pretty. The pop of color gives an all new look. We have had absolutely no rain and we can water only on Fridays. However, I do sneak in a shower or two during the week and also use a watering can as well. The temps have been low, like mid 70s, but the humidity remains high. Evenings are in the 60s which I enjoy for the ride home after visiting hubby.

I had to cancel the decorator for Tuesday due to a swollen face. I left a voice message this morning that all was well.

Still having problems with the lower back and finally realized the cause. This time it was not heavy lifting. It is a cold in the lower back caused by the A/C in hubby’s room. Unfortunately, it is an old system and as far as I can tell, no way to adjust it. Both men are complaining that their arms and legs hurt. I thought it was from exercise, but neither had physical therapy this week. This afternoon is when things started to come together. I am now headed for a second shower which helps better than the meds. I will remain home this evening and will see hubby tomorrow around lunch time. I am looking at lifts to help hubby in and out of bed and also to use for the car. This will save my back and legs. I do feel getting him home will help improve his outlook, pain and whatever else ails him. Only time will tell.

Good news on your SIL. Hope things continue to improve and the days ahead brings her back to normalcy. I know she will be watched continuously and I hope and pray that we hear the word “Remission.” Thank goodness for your close knit family.

@oodiebom,

Good Evening OZ is beautiful tonight with a full moon. I had three cats, a possum and
a racoon come to eat. The other critters pretend they are cats. LOL!

I will turn off the lights on the porch and bring the feeding bowls wash them and have
them ready for morning feedings. I would not do this if they were not so hungry.

How are you feeling tonight? Sorry you are a bit ill especially when you had a meeting.
I know you want hubby home and it’s concerning that neither he or his room mate had
PT. Oodie ring the alarm I wonder what is going on.

I would not worry about it tonight I would rest and please no heavy lifting.

Relax and let me know how it goes.

Nowhere Man
Song by The Beatles

He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He’s as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere man, can you see me at all?
Nowhere man, don’t worry
Take your time, don’t hurry
Leave it all
‘Til somebody else lends you a hand
Doesn’t have a point of view
Knows not where he’s going to
Isn’t he a bit like you and me?
Nowhere man, please listen
You don’t know what you’re missing
Nowhere man
The world is at your command
He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

The Fool on the Hill
Song by The Beatles ‧

Day after day, alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him, they can see that he’s just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning around
Well on the way, head in a cloud
The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud
But nobody ever hears him or the sound he appears to make
And he never seems to notice
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning ’round
And nobody seems to like him, they can tell what he wants to do
And he never shows his feelings
But the fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning ’round (oh oh oh)
‘Round and ’round and ’round and ’round and ’round
And he never listens to them, he knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him
The fool on the hill sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head see the world spinning ’round
Oh (’round and ’round and ’round and ’round)
Oh

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Song by The Beatles ‧

It was 20 years ago today
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play
They’ve been going in and out of style
But they’re guaranteed to raise a smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you’ve known for all these years
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
We’re Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
We hope you will enjoy the show
We’re Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Sit back and let the evening go
Sgt. Pepper’s lonely, Sgt. Pepper’s lonely
Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
It’s wonderful to be here
It’s certainly a thrill
You’re such a lovely audience
We’d like to take you home with us
We’d love to take you home
I don’t really want to stop the show
But I thought you might like to know
That the singer’s gonna sing a song
And he wants you all to sing along
So let me introduce to you
The one and only Billy Shears
And Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely

NATIONAL CHEESE FONDUE DAY

NATIONAL DAY OF SILENCE

National Day of Silence in April each year is a student-led movement to protest bullying and harassment of , , bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) students and those who support them.

NATIONAL DONATE LIFE BLUE & GREEN DAY

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community.

Pesach, or Passover, is a profound celebration of liberation and divine grace—an enduring testament to the Exodus, when the Israelites broke free from Egyptian bondage. The name “Pesach,” meaning “to pass over,” evokes the miraculous night when homes marked with lamb’s blood were spared during the final plague.

In Israel, Pesach spans seven extraordinary days (and eight elsewhere), anchored by the Seder—a meal rich in symbolic foods like matzah, moving prayers, storytelling, and the reading of the Haggadah. It’s a journey of gratitude and a celebration of freedom that springs forth with the season.

But Pesach is more than a tradition exclusive to the Jewish people. For those who have accepted God as their redemption, this festival resonates deeply. It stands as a powerful reminder of the universal promise of deliverance, inclusion, and the divine gift of freedom. Its spirit transcends time, cultures, and boundaries, uniting all who seek to honor and embrace God’s redemption.

Good morning in California Kitten here’s looking at you.

@sheba2011

Happy Pet Lover’s Day to you!! Please give Poppy extra treats from me.

My friend is a little better, still has a cough. Now that Spring is here, we all have to deal with the pollen besides the weather – never ending. I think we all need an island to get better! It is overcast and 50-ish today. Probably more rain tomorrow.

Love and hugs from me and Jake.

@shoelady60,

Goodnight and sweet dreams. I have had a long day and will have an even longer day
tomorrow. This is get it done weekend.

I think we all like pretty manicures and pedicures. I love the coral color too.

Enjoy your evening.

Sheba, maybe you’ll want to test the waters of neon.? I dare ya? It will wake you up in the morning. I have to record Matlock and Elsbeth. Sometimes it’s got interference o the screen. Anyways. I watched Matlock late very last night and again today. It was a great episode. Can’t wait until next week’s finally.

NATIONAL RECORD STORE DAY

On National Record Store Day, owners, employees, and music lovers gather in the place that created a culture of its own.

Get ready, a Pink Full Moon is rising – and it’s showing up with a few surprises
Step outside on Saturday, April 12, and you’ll catch the fourth full moon of 2025 rising above the horizon. Known as the Pink Moon, it’s the first full moon of spring — and this year, it’s showing up with a few surprises.

Despite the name, the moon won’t actually glow pink (like you see in this image). That title comes from Phlox subulata, or moss pink — one of the first wildflowers to bloom in early spring. But don’t be disappointed: when the moon rises just after sunset, it can take on a soft golden or rose-colored hue, thanks to the way Earth’s atmosphere bends and scatters the light. It’s fleeting, but beautiful.

This Pink Moon reaches peak illumination at 8:22 p.m. EDT on April 12 (that’s 00:22 GMT on April 13). For the best view, find a wide-open area and look east just after sunset — when the moon is low, it appears larger than usual due to the Moon illusion.

Look closely, and you’ll spot a brilliant companion nearby: Spica, the brightest star in the Virgo constellation. The two will rise together, side by side — the moon glowing steadily, Spica flickering like a cosmic jewel.

This is also a micromoon, meaning the moon is at its farthest point from Earth. It will look a little smaller and dimmer than usual — the quiet opposite of a supermoon. And as the Paschal Moon, it holds another role: it’s the moon that sets the date of Easter.
So if the skies are clear, don’t miss it.

Good Morning Peeps and welcome to the HSN Community.

Good day in S. California. I loved your post from last night. I have gone there with the
colors. I did a lemon yellow with my three daughters it was so much fun.

I have a wild side anyway so anything goes.

Happy Trails.

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. Sending good vibes to you. I have an agenda today.
I will tell you all about it later.

Sending Spring hugs to you and Jake.

Oh the Recaptcha is a PITA today.

Hi in Oz, ran up to visit mom and sis for a couple hours. Now I am going to sit down and watch some of the Masters with hubs. Have no idea what’s for dinner – one of those get a pan out and throw something in it days, aka surprise!!!

I know you have a busy day, hopefully you can relax with your husband and Poppy tonight. Sending Saturday hugs to all.

@shoelady60,

Good Evening wishing you a calm and peaceful evening. I am enjoying watching
the moon do it’s thing I have a bulls eye view.

I am going for a nice Perlier Shower and just chill a bit.

I did the deed today with hubby the other one known as Taxes! We are one and done.
We have a great Accountant who does a fantastic job. We have been with her for about
17 years.

I will sleep like a baby today. The cats are out and lurking waiting for me.

Good night and sweet dreams.

@shoelady60,

I think I forgot something.

Glad you had a nice visit with your family.

Sheba, Lemon Yellow, Wow sounds Cheery and Bright. Maybe I’ll try that next.
Ok, did your husband like it?
I love yellow but don’t really wear it. My bedroom as a kid was yellow. Yellow carpet and Yellow and cream colored furniture.
Btw, I also have issues here on the site. Probably we all have similar issues.

Wishing you and hubs a peaceful Passover. Lotsa matzah!!!
