  • Yep @theanonymoussomeone You probably saw old Gumby and Pokey reruns, that show was Popular before i even was a kid , just on its way out!!
  • Hey! @gumby and @kathy your notes are great and are appreciated
  • And I got my Crown Again , totally unintentionally.
    @Patz is a funny story of my crown,
    I was named @PrincessPageChanger , early in the days of the BP as I always changed the page , unintentionally, @Estar did research and created a graph and sure enough it was me!!
    And no not because i talk to much lol :P it just happened ;)
  • I loved Super Nintendo, my daughter and I played Zelda , all the way through, and of course All the Mario games, Gauntlet was another favorite, then there was one, can't remember the name, but it was a guy on a quest , i got to a high level , but eventuality quit , because on that level I could not get the stupid guy to jump onto a cliff with a narrow gap!! Frustrated!!
    Oh and Tetris ....etc..
  • Gotta Fling some birds, I'll be lurking..
  • Okay.

    @bothofyouguys I wouldn't really consider myself a big Zelda fan - I've only beaten a few of the games. But Breath of the Wild looks amazing, so I want to try it out.

    @kathy What switch were you thinking of?
  • Well tetras was more of a Gameboy thing @kathy . No points gain today and tired so just gonna be watching some tube and falling asleep
  • Ah hah! I just figured something out (I think) I had sent a note earlier today that part had disappeared??

    Well, it just happened again. This last note cut off after the first sentence ending "are appreciated". I had put in a little happy emoji there. I guess this system doesn't like those - at least the ones that came on my iPhone. So I won't do that again.

    What I HAD said to @gumby and @kathy was that I was on my way to the avatar site they recommended. Someday soon there will be more that a gray box representing me!
    --------------------

    Boy, all those notes about the time zones everyone is in; that is something else! Cool!
  • @patz cool we can't wait until you aren't just a grey box anymore :)
    and yup timezones are wildly different around here, they can make it hard to catch up with somebody. Although most read back when they log on, so if you post something to someone they should eventually read it.
  • @Patz oopsy ya i forgot to mention the emoticon don't work in this forum, they do in the newer forums, but we wanted to stay 'old school' in the BP, I'd love to see your paintings , you can upload them here if you want, using the 'embed thumb' link or the text link in your album
    It will be nice that you won't be a grey box anymore lol..
    @theanonymoussomeone The switch i was taking about was political so , i won't mention it here.. i thought you were being cryptic lol:)
    @Gumby can't you fling and watch a show at the same time?
    Speaking of flinging ..*poof*
  • @kathy LOL you know I can, and I usually do fling and watch but I am exhausted. Tomorrow is another day and there will be plenty of time for flinging :) And hopefully some points gain too
  • Ya i knew you can, @Gumby i missed the exhausted part, enjoy the show,
    Im going to Fling, my totalb for the day is 340 points:(
  • @Gumby No way @theanonymoussomeone ran up a $35,000 bar tab. He was way to young to drink. And I was just messing with the Mississippi mouse. Of course I remembered him. He was the only flinger from my home state. A kindred spirit.

    @bernersenn, Mrs. Bunny
    I'm old enough and was even in Europe during the songs you two posted but I'm not a fan. Truth be told, I'd never even heard either song. This is the first time y'all have posted music I didn't care for. Oh well, they can't all be winners.
  • Hi and bye @Patz, @Hunnybunny, @Ma, @bernersenn, @Gumby, and last but not least @TAS.
    I can't stay and talk. Mrs Rat isn't feeling well so I'm the cook tonight.
  • Yes @Pa its great seeing @Tas ..
    Hope the missus feels better soon, sure hope she ain't got what i got. Yuck!
    Got my headphones in. Listening to my book..
    Nighty night @Pa
  • @kathy about my paintings - since some are in a gallery and my web page (when I get every thing loaded and final polish) will have the capability to purchase; I didn't think the ABN would want me to put them on here. A rule mentioned no selling promotions, I might look like that; even tho it is just to look at. However, I would love it if you wanted to look it over you can see what I do. PATLAZZ.COM
  • Thanks @Patz I will take a look on your website, but I'm sure you can still use one for your gravatar :D
    Sorry Past my bedtime, I'm not feeling well or usually I'd be up later.. But @Pa usually sends Snicker after me if stay to late, ya another long story lol, but I'm sure he'll be happy to demonstrate if i don't get my butt outta here
    Nighty night
  • Good talk and good night, Mr. Rat.
  • Good night to you too, Kathy.
  • Thanks @theanonymoussomeone , is great to see you again ♡
  • @PATz I checked out your site and WOW you are good at painting. I can draw, but painting is just not up my alley, so I admire your skill. My favorites are the California Poppies - that one is so pretty. Also Hailey's horse, absolutely adorable! It's good to come back here after so long and meet some new people.
  • Haily's horse is also one of my favorites; it is pencil which is fun for me to do. However, oil painting is my primary. The poppies, oil painting, are in a gallery in port Angeles, WA.

    @theanonymoussomeone, as you know I am a newbie here - nice talking to you and thanks for the comments.
  • So @rat9 - I had some sillies to share with you and now I can't remember what some of them were...I'll have to go back and read the past week of pages to help trigger a few...I do however remember one I wanted to say...I think it was around the time of reading one of yours and hunnbunny's funny "unspeaking" post and getting back in the walls, etc., etc., (which by the way, I totally read between the lines) I know you guys adore each other, pinchin', cheeks girly girls and all, tee hee) It's when you “quit dunkin' the pigtails” is when there is concern, haha ;D

    I was just gonna be silly and say that when I happen to skim through some of the posts, I got an email that day from the BBB with my monthly newsletter and within it was an article which said this:

    “YOUR ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING”…then when I clicked on the link it said:
    “What is your purpose? Here’s a hint: It’s not to make money”…

    http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/lesleyg/album/picture/22063/


    Yep...That's Right!!! They used Walt Disney as an example and pointed out, that it all started with a mouse...aka; The Rat!!! I couldn’t help but *snicker when I read it :D

    And there it is!!! It all started with a Rat…I mean Mouse…same difference, tee hee ;-)
  • And by the way, @rat9 - I too like to have all my "ducks lined up" ( and may I say how absolutely darling it was to read what you wrote about not killing any animals, Tee Hee ;-)) But in my defense...I usually leave myself ample time to get these kind of contracts done, two days should have been enough...however, in the midst of it...my work line did not stop ringing so I kept getting interrupted by other clients wanting things...like a extra ordinary amount of calls!!! I was like, OMG! "You've got to be kidding! Everyone seemed to come out of the walls, lololol *snicker ;-) All though I do tend to work very well under pressure...but Geez! Not that much...Ohand then a different client called that also wanted a new contract so I ended up juggling between the two of them! Yippee :_D
  • @ Kathy - (take note of my polite space between the @ and Kathy, tee hee -I don't want to wakey wake you with your "dinger" going off) I will absolutely check my "Skype", thank you for letting me know...I am still new to it so I apologize if I was sent a message I missed, cc @bernersenn - I asked my daughter and she told me I should turn on my notifications for that...so I will do that ;-D
  • Hi @gumby - thanks for the time zone info...I hate that by time I can make it here to visit, everyone's off to bed or at work in some cases and I am up way past my bedtime! However, damn it...I spend all day doing for others and by time I get to have my "Me" time...it's so late...so I have learned to make friends with it, even if it means talking to myself in here, hahahah just kidding :-D As long as I make it to bed by 1:30 I am ok...not too long ago that was 10:30...gotta roll with the punches 8-)
  • Oh..okay...one more thing before I'm off to try and get that darn strat and screenies posted I mentioned last night...
    @bernersenn @rat9 @gumby @hunnybunny @sweetp @Kathy - UPDATE!!!!!!!

    You guys...let me just say I was happy and horrified all at the same time...that
    "[email protected]%I^&" roach that ruined my fish tank day a few weekends back...well guess what!!!!!! When I got up this morning, there it was, lying upside down on it's back just about 3 feet from the tank!!! Can you believe it?!?! I was so grateful that it was finally found as every time I go to feed the fish, I have a bit of anxiety knowing that it was never found! I found it amazing that God gave me that gift of knowing it was truly gone...however, as I mentioned before...you just never know if they are really dead or what...so I bravely put a Red Solo cup over it to secure it until one of my children or hubby could dispose of it. I mean, surely it was dead, right?!? ( I had a feeling it was already dead the first time I found it stuck to that filter cause it was broad daylight and it never moved. I had been working on the tank for like 45 minutes and must have bumped that filter area dozens of times.) So anyway...When Ronnie got home from work and my daughter Mandy was also home...I told them! They had a good laugh at my expense until...He removed the cup...and wouldn't you know it!!! It was still upside down and all, but when he bumped it, it was still wiggling!!! GARRROOOSSSSSSS! See I told you guys...they are CREEPY and must be flushed!!! Rotflmao...at myself :0 I know, I know, I sound like a crazy person, Tee Hee 8-)
  • You go ahead and have your meltdown over roaches @angryadvisor. Nasty creatures for sure. But I guess they serve a purpose in God's master plan. They're his little Rumbas. Scampering about cleaning as you sleep. lol
    Be careful when you flush those cockroaches Lesley. Did you see the Abilene, Texas story about the Diamondback rattlesnake that came up through the toilet? http://i2.cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/170202142403-boy-toilet-snake-trnd-exlarge-169.jpeg I'm going to be constipated for a long time after reading about it. ha ha They found a total of 24 snakes in the basement and crawl space once they started looking for them. I'd need to move. No, really! I'd sell the house and move.

    Nighty night @Ma
  • Hi @rat first: wishing mrs. Rat a quick recovery. What is her real name, I forgot?
    It is showy about the American music scene and the European. I happend to be a deejay in the 70's. So, I also was interested in the Billboard Top-100. is it still existing? Anyway, it contained about 10 same songs as in the British top-100 (that was our guard in that time). The other 90 songs were complete different.

    @angryadvisor (hint for all the others: the names to mention in this old forum can differ for those in the regular posts, ie. @lesleyg is @angryadvisor, so is @rat9 the same as @rat).
    Ok, these roaches have to be flushed as soon as they are detected. Loved your story.

    @rat didn't like your story about that creep in the toilet. If that would happen here... I would sell the house and move to a region where they don't exist. Yuk. "I'm going to the toilet, brb" - and then, yuk

    To be honest, that one rattlesnake wasn't alone. See the entire article:
    http://www.kxxv.com/story/34416446/west-texas-family-finds-diamondback-rattlesnake-in-a-toilet
  • Haha, @angryadvisor. You crack me UP! Yeah, I know it wasn't funny going through all of that, because I can't stand those critters any longer than I can look at them either! Gives me the heebeejeebees! So I call on my hubby to get rid of whatever makes me scream. Funny how amused he gets whenever he has to rescue me. And believe me, living here in a rural town on 2-1/2 acres of mostly dirt, weeds, and rocks there are plenty of nasty things that somehow make their way into the house! EEEEK! So glad we have a contract with an exterminator company that comes out every 3 mos to spray the perimeter of the house.

    Now, I must apologize to @patz for lagging on the badge award. I've been quite busy working and haven't had much spare time to attend to the Nest. But I'm here now, so I'll be doing a quick run-through and picking up the clutter on my way around. Happy flinging to you, and it really would be nice to see your new avatar instead of the gray box, heehee!

    @rat9, @kathy, @bernersenn, @hunnybunny, @gumby always nice to see you guys are always here!

    @theanonymoussomeone good to see you're back again, too! Please have a drink on my tab!

    Heck, OB I'll pick up the tab for everyone here. I'll have a large mug of coffee and a breakfast burrito to go, please.

    Have a great day, and enjoy the weekend! Happy flinging y'all!
  • Blech, I hate roaches. The fact that they are so adaptable and can survive pretty much anything doesn't help.
  • Thanks for the note re badge @sweetp. I hope I finally got it right. I wasn't about to nag; I was imaging your role in ABN and knew you had tons to keep up with. Good work!
    ------------

    @kathy. I was looking at your comments re old name @PrincessPageChanger. Clicked on it and WOWEE that was a surprise!!! Just residuals from all the confusion and zingwats you caused then. (Here is a Hee he)....in place of an emoji). You would especially like the words "Fatal... smarty error...." and "...smarty/compile ... ...does not exist"... yes, one could go on...
    ----------

    Umm, roaches are believed to be the longest existing creatures on earth. No matter how many you stomp or flush, more are waiting and watching!
  • @kathy you forgot, on favourite dogs, @trishohara and Devon.
    Nighty night all flingers and dogs and cats!
  • @kathy WASSSSUUUPPP
    @patz and @anonymoussomeone glad to see you both here :)
    @lesleyg You know that there is no such thing as just ONE cockroach. They are kind of like ants. Where there is one there are many many others. Time to call an exterminator I would say.
    @sweetp Nice to see you, done any flinging lately?
  • Oh my goodness @hunnybunny How could I forget Devon!!! @trishohara I'm so sorry!!
    Devon is one of the cutest, funniest dogs we know ,!
    @gumby Wassssuuuppp????
  • So does SweetP still come around often?
  • @theanonymoussomeone Our dearest SweetP comes around now and again, she is here lurking more than we know. She is very busy and usually doesn't chat too much.
  • @kathy you also forgot my 2 dogs which I posted pics of too ( Nikki and Tigger )
  • Oohh jeesh @Gumby I'm sorry :(
    Who else did i forget, ..?
  • @lesleyg our new chat is up, you have to check your messages to see it
  • OmGiraffe...I can't possibly catch up atm
    But wanted to say @Patz all your paintings are amazing!!! I especially like Erin's Sunset
    And Red forms, I couldn't find Hailey's Horses ¿ but they are All amazing!!
    I'm really beat, still not feeling great, so not up for chatting much, all the more I'll have to catch up on tomorrow..
    @Lesleyg omg you and your cockaroach stories remind me of Kimmie and her Snail Tails
    I can't believe that thing was still wiggling ewwwww....
  • @theanonymousone I was just following you in haunted hogs. Tres cook 5 years l8r
  • Tres cool, if you follow the bp you understand the preselection against auto correct
  • Nighty night all..
    Nighty night @Pa
  • Ok @rat siunda fair. The picture is awful. I am delighted we don't have such animals overhere
  • Hiya @gumby. No haven't been flinging very much at all, just a little bit of vetting levels intermittently while policing the leaderboards. And hardly any time for socializing, but when I do I always come to the BP :P heehee!

    Hi @theanonymoussomeone. Yes I'm back just for a few minutes, enough to warm up this barstool and rest my weary bones. I have to get to the B&R again and hand out a couple of puppies that are eagerly waiting for their owners.

    I wonder what's up with that, @kathy? Have we made the challenge too difficult, or are players losing interest? Hmm...I wonder.
  • OB, I'd like a mug of black coffee please.

    Gotta go and give a few puppies their baths and groom them. Then it's off to do some cleanup around the Nest for ne.

    Have a great day of flinging everyone!
