  • Nighty night @Pa
  • Nite nite @Ma
  • Haven't popped in in a while, so busy with family, holidays, new kitchen reno, etc I can either fling or communicate (or write write-ups for new episodes)

    So Hi y';all, a round on me, but I have to go paint now 8*).
  • Anyone seen La La Land? We went last night, I loved it and cried. Mr Bunny said it was two hours his life he couldn't get back
    @gumby, indeed, if I ever get to Boston again, you are on my list. Just wish I flung the birdies when my sis lived in Cambridge, we could have had Kathy Gumby Bunny party!!!
  • Hi everyone, a round on me of your fave drink.

    La La Land is on my list. Not sure if it has started yet in Germany.

    Have fun painting, @knichy
  • @kathy WASSSSSUUUPP
    @hunnybunny LOL a Kathy Gumby Bunny party sounds interesting. I hope its the good list I am on, I read what you wrote in the other chat.
    @trishohara wish I could have drinks but work another 12 hours in the am. :(
  • Hey @trishohara thanks for the Drink:)
    OB I'LL have a Blue Mongo please
    @gumby Wassssuuuppp???
  • I'll be back in a bit
  • Hi everybody ;-) Woooshhhh!!! I'm pooped...and I still have atleast an hour of work to finish on a contract for a client appointment I have tomorrow :+/ BUT...I'm glad to have it ;D I missed almost a whole week of work when I was sick and this time of year is already EXTREMELY busy for me so now I'm having to make up for it...I am taking a much needed 20 minute break or so...so that I could check in here and say hi to my favorite place and my escape! Tee Hee ;D
  • Sorry i missed you @lesleyg :(
    Listening to my book now on my way to Dreamland..
  • Nighty night @Pa
  • Nighty Night @kathy, sorry we missed each other and I hope you have your “dinger” off…I will apologize in advance as I'm about to Post Bomb and Bolt! HaHaHa...I’ll just leave this comment for those to read as they see fit or perhaps, NOT…lol ;D I feel the need or rather "want" to respond to my @mentions...but also to express my gratitude for each and every one of you, oh and as for the POST BOMB & BOLT… I really gotta get back to work! YIKES!!! And yes, I realize it’s nearly midnight…there are just not enough hours in the day and I have a BIG contract to finish that ain’t gonna write itself, %-) happy-whhiiinneee ;(
  • Ya know, as my dear friend @bernersenn said, not to be too sentimental here, but, Oopsies! I'm about to be real sentimental…so, sorry in advance...Please feel free to skip ahead …
    God surely DOES work in mysterious ways! I've always known this but it always brings a smile to my face when I see it oh so clear ;D
    @Kathy @bernersenn @karen68 @sweetp @hunnybunny @gumby @rat9 and several others – I just wanted to say, “Thank You” for your nice and uplifting comments and responses ;-) The BP and the Nest in general, has brought me some “oh so needed” happiness and laughter lately ;-D It really was so absolutely cool to meet you Kathy. I'm not gonna lie guys...I was REALLY, really nervous and it was so out of character for me to actually do it, haha...as I told her, I don't even have time for my "real" friends...but I just felt compelled! As soon as I met her (you Kathy) it was instantly O.K and great because she welcomed me with the very same genuine realness and kindness as she did when I first joined this community! She was the first Nester to welcome me so it's only fitting that she was the first Nester I've met, COOL!!! Which by the way, this wonderful place has 100% changed my life...and I don't say that lightly.
    As I said before, I wouldn't have met up with just anyone, but I knew it was good for ME and something I really wanted to do. Even my hubby Ronnie was quite surprised in how "dead-set" I was about making it happen, Hahahah :D There are lots of wonderful true friendships in this amazing community. I would love to get to meet some more of my favorite Nesters! (especially now that I actually did it - tee hee) I don't know, maybe I'm just being silly here but you my friends, ROCK! I am so thankful for this site and the friends I've made along the way. It's unique and perhaps strange even, when you find yourself looking forward to, and wanting to, find time to come here for some joy rather than meeting up with some of your so called "real" friends...hahaha ;-/
  • It's a very special thing we have going on here. I want to mention you too @birdleader !!! Thank you for bringing this to life for all of us! I'm so proud of you for your accomplishments! I mean how cool is that!!! You and your son loved it, like we all did/do, and then you wanted more and more...like we all did/do (teeheehee) :D Then you made a way to really turn it into something HUGE! Like many of us, I had 3 starred the levels on my original phone which was an Android, then I got an iPad and was so hooked that I went ahead and replayed every single level...when that was done, there were no new levels available and I was "jonesin'' for more! HAHAHA :D I came across your site, discovered the leaderboards and walkthroughs…which gave a whole new life to the levels and that as "They" say folks...is History!!! (whoever "They" are...teehee ;-) But I mean really...Rovio doesn't support just anyone the way they have here...That's really, really awesome Greg!!! I hope you know that…and I for one am very happy you turned you and your son’s dream into such an awesome reality!!!! I bet in the beginning, you never imagined it would turn out to be the huge and successful, EVERLASTING hit that it has become :D It’s stood the test of time because of your talents and dedication but also because of the wide range of AB fans that this site allowed to be brought together from all parts of the world! That’s a pretty GINORMOUS thing. I’ve met some "real" friends here and it's just really cool! We all have the AB games in common but it has turned out to be so much more than that! ( There’s something extra cool to visit with Nester’s from “Across the Pond” like perhaps Europe!!! ;-)
    I've had a lot going on in my life these past few years...lots of Blessings but lots of painful and never ending exhausting drama and things; family drama and issues too...more than my share...more than most would even believe, I've even had several "outside" people telling me it's "too much" for anyone to handle...but that's ok. I do it because I am wired that way...I am the "ONE" in this very large, very messy, very needy and "issues galore" family! I love and care BIG and I am the glue that holds it all together. I'm not one to have a pity party or air the dirty laundry. I know God is with me and He must know I am strong enough to handle it all...which I choose to see as a complement and a Blessing! I have Him and my darling, wonderful and supportive rock of a husband...AKA Batman (tee hee) AND, I have You ALL!!!
    I just wanted to acknowledge all this...even when I am MIA ;-) You guys are awesome and thoughtful and caring...wanting nothing in return, (well, except maybe @Kathy wanting breadcrumbs, tee hee hee ;-D I have a new found comfort here, that was always there but even more so now…and unless you are a part of this thing...no one else would get!!! Ok...Sorry to have Filled the Page and Ran...but I have a BIG contract to finish...and it ain't gonna write itself, and with that I will leave you with a final...Tee Hee ;-D
    Cheers ;-)
  • YIKES! Mushy stuff. I'm not comfortable with mushy stuff. But since you really opened up and put yourself out there Lesley, I will too. I don't hate you guys (inclusive of the ladies) either. Except for the rabbit. Tee Hee

    Nighty nite @Ma
  • Hey @lesleyg, great that you and @kathy were able to meet. Great pics btw, thanks for sharing.
    One day I would love to meet one or a few Nesters as well.
  • Gee @Rat, I'm glad you don't hate us 8*) Did I miss something?

    I always say, "Don't be a hater, be a Great Disliker". A saying almost as good as, "That's life, that's Bird Life".

    @lesleyg I have been MIA in the BP for a while, but I myself am very appreciative of having this community. I started a couple of years ago simply looking for what some 3-star threshold scores were in ABO - I knew that someone somewhere had to have them documented. Boy did I not realize what I was getting into! A whole new culture and family!

    Funny - I was actually driving through your area the day you and Kathy met, and I did wave at Universal as I went by .....
  • Wow, @lesleyg you said it all
    Don't worry Mr Rat the wabbit will self destruct if you ever mention it again
    Nighty night all x
  • @kathy WASSSSUUUPPP
    @lesleyg OK now take a breath LOL
    @rat you like the bunny am I hearing things correctly?? WOW who knew
    @hunnybunny sweet dreams my long eared friend
  • @rat9 - hahaha :d Lucky for me, I get your "odd" sense of humor and have come to appreciate it :D And hey, at least I was able to get you out of hiding for a minute...are you still in pain, avoiding someone(s) or just been busy?
    P.S. perhaps I should have put the automatic self destruct gadget on my post...I'm sure some of you wish I had, lol ;-D
  • @trishohara - Thank you!!! Yes it was pretty cool...If you ever make it to FL, be sure to send me a note ;-) btw, what area do you live in?
  • @lesleyg if you ever get up to Boston I live about 10 minutes away from Kathy
  • @knichy - Yeah, it's hard to find time to fit everything in, huh! Believe you me , I know! Which was part of my point...just because we may be MIA, doesn't mean we want to be :-D
    Do you live in the area? Aw man! You should have stopped in!!! We had a blast ;D
  • @gumby Waaaassssuuuppp???
    @Lesleyg Wow uhmmm what can i say? You said it all lol!!!
    Meeting you was definitely a momentous memory ,(if that makes Any sense lol)
    I'll never forget it!! I was nervous to, remember the guy next to me sorta yelled at me to calm down hahaha Mark!!! That was awesome, and when Dave and you walked up to the pool it was Instant, Hugs non stop chatter.. It was so great , you said it all!! Perfectly!! :D
  • @kathy not much here, just chillin
  • @hunnybunny - It seems I've missed you again ;-/ Aw well, hard to visit with my friends on the other side of the world...Nighty, Night and thanks for your reply ;-) I know it was a bit much but I just felt like putting it out there cause I don't always get to be here as much as I'd like :-)
  • @gumby - LoL ;-/ I know, right!... Hey at least I gave some warning for those who may have wanted to "skip" it, hahaha! And let's be real...we all know I don't know how to keep it short, haha...just call me "Lengthy Lesley"!!! rotflmao 8-) Funny, I'm sure I've heard many people tell me that very same thing..."Take a Breath" Chatter, Chatter!

    If I ever make it up to Boston, I will indeed defiantely expect a fun "hang-out" with you and @Kathy and the sig. others...is there a Mrs. Gumby?
  • Aww, Thank you @Kathy ;D Good to see you here...I'm pooped!!! I can't believe it's already 8:43!, Ughhh! I was up til the weeeeeee hours of the night finishing my client's contract paperwork for our meeting today which took several hours...I'm going on 3 hours of sleep, combined with not enough food and too much caffeine! Doesn't make for a good mix...I'm so tired but also wired, tee hee...Have you ever been so tired that your too tired to sleep? HAHAH 8-D

    I'm off to fling a few birds...helps calm the nerves and clear the mind. I'll be lurking for a bit but, I'm definitely gonna have to call it quits early tonight...ZZZzzzzzzz
  • well looky there...once I get started, I just can't seem to...take a breath, lol ;*) i'm really going to stop yammering now, tee hee ;D
  • Oohh ya @lesleyg we all know your not the'quiet type" hheehheee That's another thing I love about you!! If you weren't a chatterbox, we wouldn't have met, and i never would have got so far in Ab of i hadn't followed your very detailed breadcrumbs heehee:D
    OmGiraffe if you ever come to Boston and you, me and @Gumby got together we'd need a few , many hours because we are all chatterboxes!! Heeheee
  • @lesleyg there is a Mrs Gumby but we would probably leave her home LOL
  • actually she works just as much as I do but has a different set of hours than me. So she would most likely be working
  • Lol @Gumby .. That's nice , but I'm sure she'd have no interest in meeting ,' birdie friends'
    I practically had to twist Dave's arm to get him to stay at the pool with me after we checked out, but he was my Ride lol.. He ended up having a great time and was very happy he stayed and meet Lesley: D
    Right now he's aggravating the s:'"* out of me!! Came home pissy after going to the 'Yaaahhht club"" hee hee @lesleyg.
  • Got my headphones in, but not for long..I'm out soon..
  • Nighty night @Pa
  • Kathy you guys have a yacht? I have a deep sea rated boat but not quite a yacht..
    But it could make the run from md to ma in about 14 hours. For once longer by sea than by land.
  • Good mornin' @Ma

    You guessed it Lesley. I've been a bit depressed of late. My motivation meter has been pegged at zero. I'm trying to snap out of it before the wife's back breaks from the extra load. Wish her luck...uuhhh...I mean me!

    Liked you? I never said that Mrs. Bunny. I don't know what you're talking about. he he heh
    I did warn you the message would self-destruct and that I'd deny ever saying it, right?
  • I don't get it @hunnybunny , but no worries i don't have to, or want to know;)
  • @hunnybunny 'again' lol!!!
  • Brb going to smoke a ciggie
  • Nighty night xx
  • Nighty night @hunnybunny Sweet Dreams
    @gumby Waaaassssuuuppp????
  • @kathy WASSSUUUPPP
  • @hunnybunny nighty night and I know I saw a self destructing message stating that rat likes you :)
  • Well Headphones in ,I'm going to listening to my book for a bit, then Dreamland,
    Just in case..
    Nighty night @Pa
  • Nighty night @Ma
  • Aww, @lesleyg thank you for the sweet and kind words. Like you, I started flinging in ABO, but I didn't know much about getting 3 stars. I was just happy to finish a level and advance to the next one. Then when I got stuck I didn't want to "cheat" but found myself frustrated and did a google search on how to get all the piggies. Lo and behold after watching a few other YouTube videos, I found The Nest! And as they say the rest is history! It's great people like you, that make The Nest the great, wonderful community it is. @kathy, you were the first person to welcome me with open wings and I can't thank you enough for that. I hope to someday have the opportunity to meet a fellow Nester, like you and @lesleyg did! What a great and memorable experience it would be!

    Well, I won't bore you all with my emotional ramblings, so I'll just say that I appreciate you @birdleader for creating The Nest, and to all of you who make this My Happy Place.

    ♡LML♡
  • Aww @Sweetp you certainly live up to your name, so Sweet ♡
    I swear someday I will hit the Lottery and rent a Whole hotel and fly all my Birdie friends to have one huge Birdie party.
    It's funny to me that I was so scared and shy when I joined the Nest,but i hatched out of my egg, and saw new members and thought to myself 'they are probably shy as me,so i just said 'hey welcome " and then became such great friends"
    Never in a million years did I realize that 6years later I'd have the bestest friends, nor actually meet any in person!!
    Ohh man i could go on. But i wont lol.♡♡♡♡
