Got up late this morning to this view outside the house.

We have one pair of breeding swans on the Marina, but they only had one cygnet this year. This proud mother obviously came in to show what can be done! -
@Rat -- What makes you think that Lamia is old enough to resent people who keep track of the number of her birthdays?
@TAS -- Rat is correct about birthdays as you get older, but he misses the point. You are only as old as you feel, so if you think you're 50 when you're 60 or older, you will feel much better than if you spend all your time thinking about how old you are.
Never use the phrase "I'm having a senior moment." If you're really having a senior moment, you won't realize it. -
Whoops, should have read back a page: Happy Birthday and best wishes for many, many more, @Lamia!
On a separate topic, I noticed some discussion about ABR, and I feel honor-bound to defend Rio, because it has always been one of my favorites. I've been playing the new episode when I have a chance this week, but haven't been as good about posting my scores. So now that I see that @mvlna2 has thrown down the gauntlet (or at least gently placed it in the ring), I better get my act together and see what I can accomplish.
Although today is also the last day for me to try to redeem my reputation for bone-crushing last-place finishes in the ABF tournament that I play every week with @grammyK and @Lisko. Lisko pretty much just wipes us off the map, but at least grammyK manages to get close enough to choke on Lisko's dust. Lisko is always so far ahead of me, that she's just a speck way off on the horizon. I can occasionally -- briefly -- have a nice little back-and-forth sparring match with grammyK, until she delivers one final knockout blow, and that's it for me for the round.
We have a tradition (which we've done twice now, so that makes it a tradition) of playing without PUs during the week, until Sunday, when everything is "legal." We call it Demolition Day. Not surprisingly, that doesn't seem to help me much.
But on Monday, I'm right back in there and ready to go again, the previous week's humiliation completely forgotten, all excited to play a new round. That probably says something about me, which is probably best left unexamined.
Time for less babbling and more flinging...

@junkenmetel -- Didn't realize I had thrown down or even placed a gauntlet! However, TD on the Rio Cherry Trophy is really hard. If you don't want to watch video first (it's the only TD video posted for new levels right now -- thanks to Slim), you really should at least read some of the comments, otherwise you are likely to spend several (many?) frustrating hours. Good Luck!

Thanks for the tip @mvnla2! We'll blame @Rat for the gauntlet impression, since he was part of the discussion, and he's not in the room at the moment (unless he's hiding under a chair or something), and we quickly established the right to blame each other for pretty much anything as soon as we met.
I hadn't really been paying full attention to gathering all the cherries as I went through the levels, so I have to go back and look for them all; I think I'm just missing a couple.
I thought the 30 and 50 star bonus levels for the GBB episode were fun; I like when you can use one bird to cascade a Rube Goldberg-type destruction chain....
And now here I am trying to improve my score for today's Cherry Blossom Challenge (has a nice ring to it, doesn't it). I seem to be flinging birds today at anything and everything... -
Well anyway.... What are you guys up to?
-
@Junkenmetel I think leggy compiled a list of all the cherries. This update added cherries to the old GBB levels; I think the list is on the update announcement page. There are also walkthroughs for all the cherries.
@TAS -- I am trying to get caught up both with ABN and real-life chores. So I shouldn't be here! -
Oh. Okay! Bye!
-
Hello everyone o Hope you are all enjoying the day:)
@Hunnybunny what a nice sight to see a proud Momma Swan:)
Are only the babies called cygnets or am i missing something.
OB I'll have a Sunupper please and some crispy bacon bits:)
*steps out to the aviary to relax in the fresh air and listen to the Birdies* -
Hey @theanonymousesomeone :) anything new?
-
@lamia I didn't wish you a happy birthday yesterday because we haven't met. After throwing myself under the bus with my mentoring of a fellow Mississippian, @tas, I feel I know a little bit about you. Happy belated twenty-three. I enjoy giving fodder to the masses to get discussions going. It had been too quiet in the BP.
@mnvla2 I'm "very" surprised by how much mileage the use of the third "very" in my post to you got. Gauntlets have been thrown. I'm ecstatic.
@junkenmetel You go girl(woman)! I'm pulling for ya. -
Ohh sorry @junkenmetal hi:) good luck with your tournament :)
-
Yeah, hope you do good @junkmetel!
-
Hello?
-
Lol sorry @theanonymousesomeone gone Flingin'
-
How sad! At least it's not newborn turtles going to sea....
-
Hi @tas, @Kathy, @Rat.
@Kathy and @tas -- I know what you mean; we were just listening to a piece on NPR (National Public Radio, for those not here in the USA) about how noise pollution affects creatures like whales and dolphins and other marine life, and how very extreme that pollution has gotten. So I came upstairs to be sad away from the radio, and visit here with my friends. It's funny how often we all (or many of us) happen to be experiencing the similar things in life at the same time, no matter where we are.
Although @Kathy, you're not exactly all that far away... :D
Oh, and thanks for the tip about the cherries, @mvlna2. Now that's a much happier thought! -
Yep that is weird @junkenmetal ..and very sad
Gotta go diners ready..bbl -
-
@kathy sea turtles in particular. You don't wanna know.
-
Double oops! And thank you @Rat! Goodness, I'm such a scatterbrain today...
-
@tas, I've had the great honor of seeing, and swimming with, sea turtles in the Caribbean, many times. My favorite time was when my husband and I were snorkeling, and crossing back over a deeper area between a small cay and the shore, when we spotted a sea turtle that had found a particularly good batch of sea grass that it liked, and was munching away, completely ignoring us. We drifted for quite a while over him (or her), watching him eat; it was magical! He knew we were there, but he was deep enough below us not to be concerned about us, especially since we were in an area that was known for excellent snorkeling, and so he was probably pretty used to people, and didn't really worry about them very much unless someone dived down to his depth. As it happened nobody else came by while we were watching him, which we did for quite a while.
I'm pretty sure that was at Little Bay in Anguilla, where we've seen lots of cool things, including an octopus (on two different occasions!), and a number of puffer fish.
Snorkeling is one of my all-time favorite things to do in life, although it's been years now since I've had a chance to do it. I figure it's as close as I'll get to visiting another planet, if you know what I mean. -
@junkenmetal what an experience that's really cool you got to watch the turtle close up..id be afraid to snorkel..lol although i love the ocean and i am a very good swimmer (junior life guard, swim team in my younger years) the thought of being underwater for any length of time scares the hack out of me..
-
@WiiWillie -- Sure! Just tell us what kind of help you need. But it's kinda quiet tonight, so answer may take a while.
-
I can wait but have a problem with Cloud City 4-20. Seems like I saw somewhere here that there was a bug on that. I think I have 3 stared it, but next day was 2 star. I have completed the level with one bird left, but didn't get hi scrore. Have 3 stared most of the levels, but this one bugs me!
I have only been playing about 2 weeks, you can tell by my question, but what are those icons at the top, used a spaceship once to swoop down and blast away, but only gave me a ribbon! -
@wiiwillie i think the icons you refer to are power ups not allowed on abn leaderboards..
I will have a look at 4-20 to see what's up..uhmm have you checked the walkthrough page usually lots of great tips and alternate stradgedys to help
I don't know why if you 3 starred it a star would have been taken.that's not anything to do with the nest that I've never heard of..but I'll check out the level and leave you a post there:) or here.. -
The 3 star minimum is 108,000 it doesn't change ..so depending on your score which i don't know.
My best suggestion is if you have reached that score you should have 3 stars..i haven't heard of any bug but you could check the gold bar above and click on the section 'bugs'
Other than that check walkthrough , there is a video and lots of helpful tips;) -
Ok @wiiwillie I'll be around after my Work day...I'll do my best to help:)
-
Yep @wiiwillie that's the ticket..the more debris you damage the more points:) Patience is the key just keep at it..I'll lookat it and try to help..but it's getting near bedtime.so see you tomorrow:)
-
Lol @wiiwillie goood luck with the 'honey do's' see ya tomorrow night..
-
Hi and welcome @wiiwillie :) glad @kathy was here to help you!
