  • Yw... night night
  • @TomPuss -- Amazing video! I sent it to a friend who loves crows / blackbirds.
    @blahalb09 -- If it makes you feel any better, a lot of people don't get Presidents' Day off. So making up for all your snow days isn't that bad a deal.
    @chimichangachick -- Welcome to the BP! have been busy today so trying to catch up.
  • Er....how did I change the page? Did I make an oops?! I pressed the blue 1983 button intending to refresh the page, and time traveled to the year 1984....
  • @mvnla2 ty for the welcome! I always marked President's Day by planting my sweet peas
  • Lol no not an oops; )
    There only 50 comments pet page itb automatically changes on 51st.. your good.. I'll tell you about my crown tomorrow. .my nickname princesspagechanger hah..
  • @chimichangachick -- The page changes automatically after 50? comments. Kathy is the Princess Page Changer, since she has more than anyone else. So congrats! You got your first page change in the BP.
  • K night night @mvnla2 hi night. .
  • @chimichangachick -- To have your avatar appear in the old forum, which is where the BP is, you need to use Gravatar. See the instructions here:
    http://www.angrybirdsnest.com/forum/discussion/9/how-do-i-create-an-avatar-moved-to-the-new-forum
    BTW the 1984 is the number of pages in the BP forum, which currently has 99162 comments! If you want to read something amusing / something to put you to sleep, try reading all those pages! : D
  • @mvnla2 I read a lot of comments from back in 2012 before @kathy told me how to find the current comments! At the time, I honestly thought that the "1983" was a year tab, not a page! I was making fun of myself about the time travel. Thanks for the gravatar link. I think I perused it once, but balked at the time because at first glance it APPEARED I would have the same avatar across the entire internet, courtesy of Google and my android device. I wasn't wanting that. So I skidaddled. I'll have to check it out better to see how it really works.
  • @chimichangachick -- Well yes, if you use Gravatar, you will have the same avatar wherever the internet knows you by the same e-mail address. So maybe you don't want an avatar in the old forum, we'll understand. Some of my friends have commented that they see my avatar on e-mail I send. It's OK with me, but might not be for you.
    I'm pretty tired tonight, so might be going to bed soon. Hope to see you tomorrow!
  • *rushes in and almost collides with @mvnla2* Oops, sorry almost stepped on your toes! Hello @mvnla2, I see you've met one of our newest Nesters @chimichangachick. I'm in a hurry, so my apologies to everyone but I'll be back in a couple hours!
    OB, a large coffee to go please?

    OK, see y'all later!
  • OB's phone dings - a text from Mumsie - he shows the blues - "Can't get to BP today - hate glitches! Can't get either MoE ones even started- could you send over one of the blues with Americano please...xxx"
    Blue 2 says its her turn and sets off.
  • @tompuss Fantastic video!! Thanks for sharing!! :) Do hope your well on the mend now!!

    @mumsie42 I'm rooting for you!! Go get em!!! Your getting close to Florida aren't you?!! Whoo Hooo maybe even get some sunshine this time?! I'd certainly be happy to send ours that way! :)
  • @Mumsie, I sure hope that little Blue 2 can get that glitch started for you!

    It's my pillow talk time. My eyelids can't stay up much longer.

    Good night fellow flingers, have a great Hump Day!
  • Umm not sure which will call to you, @mecstaveler @chimichangachick Welcome to BP! Glad you made it in then!! :) Looks like we'll be seeing you in HaK! :D

    Good night @Kathy, one of your fav days so Happy Hump Day to you!! *Snicker* ;D
    *shines Kathys flashlight for her use tomorrow and sets out candles to see her safely to dreamland *

    Happy Hump Day to all of you!!! :)

  • Good night @sweetp!! :)
  • I'm having a wonderful day.
    #NewAngryBirds announcement- who isn't happy about that?
    I've got the MoE 5-20 glitch going- Over the Moon here I come!
    And finally, my school system went out of their way to recover an incomplete animation that I accidentally deleted from my account. Whew.
  • Hi @AngryBirdsSpace(Subsitute). I haven't read the announcement yet. I hope it's about a Space release. Good luck on your Ewok. It's great when the stars align and allow for a great day. You deserve it.
  • Will be interesting to see what the episode / game is.
    @angrybirdsspaceMaster -- Good luck with the Ewok! I haven't tried to get the glitch on 5-29 yet.
    @mumsie -- Can you believe that I volunteered to propose the new handicap ratings for the new set of tees we have at the course where I belong to the women's club? Not that difficult, but I've asked for help entering scores for each hole, which is very tedious.
  • Looks like you'll be busy @mvnla2 with those handicap ratings for each tee. Hope you get someone that knows how to do it.
  • @sweetP -- I know how to do it; it's just very time consuming to enter all the scores into a spreadsheet. Depending on how you do it, you need 400 to probably 800 rounds of hole by hole scores! I'm hosting a score entry party next week.
  • @mvlna2 - at our club all competition scores are entered onto the club's golf computer system and we can ask the company that supplies it for a report that would give us the information - may be a charge but sooooooo much easier than doing it manually !
  • How odd - normally the time stamp in BP is current time in UK but today it is one hour behind (GMT -1)
  • Good Morning Everyone:) OB rushes over ..and frantically looks kathy over..feels her fforehead and scuttles back behind the muttering.. something ike " had me all worries for nothing" "but happy to see you safe"
    Sorry OB just abusy evening and i fell asleep ..fully clothed mind you ..at 10pm!!!
    Thanks for caring though..
    Gotta scoot..Yes they are making us work with this Monstrosity Storm looming! !
  • I'm excited for Angry Birds Stella! I don't like how it's coming out this fall though... ;-; why did they have to tell us so far ahead??
  • @Mumsie -- All our club's scores are entered into a computer (by each player) on the day they play also. Unfortunately, since we normally play stroke play, not match play, it's only the total score that is entered. The scores are entered into the USGA handicap system, which only keeps track of total scores. When I was in a league that played modified Stableford, the hole by hole scores were entered every day we played into the club's computer. It sure would have been easier if scores had been entered as the year went along, but there are frequently as many as 100 players, so it would take about 1.5 hrs per play day!
  • There's 15 inches of snow on the ground where I live, biggest storm since snowmageddon
  • @Blahalb09 -- Hope your power stays on.
    Same wish for everyone else in the storm. Stay safe, warm, and off the roads.
    (This is not a wish from a S CA wimp, it is a wish from someone who grew up in Denver, and lived in Chicago and Buffalo, so I do know how to drive in the snow and on ice.)
  • @mvlna2 - most of our competitors - both men and women - are stroke play competitions and each player enters their score for each hole. The system is linked to CONGU who is the body responsible for hcps in the UK. There are routinely 100+ men playing in the men's comps (far fewer numbers in the women's comps) but each player has to enter their scores as soon as they come off the course so there is rarely a queue! It also means holes in one, birdies, eagles etc can be recorded.
  • @Mumsie -- Very interesting! Do you play 2-somes or 4-somes? I'm sure we would have a queue! Does everyone keep their own score? I do, but I think some of our members rely on the scorekeepers. We have 2 official cards that are submitted to the club for each 4-some. Everyone is supposed to attest, but I think that often means that only the 2 scorekeepers agree on the scores. It has been "interesting" to see how many addition mistakes are made on scorecards where the scores are supposedly the same for at least 2 independent calculations!
    The handicap chair often complains that people don't enter even their total score. They can enter it from home if they forget to before they leave the course. She has started issuing penalties for those who forget.
  • Hi @all. First time I've had internet in a while. We've had freezing rain for two days now. Ninety percent of the houses in the county are without power so I should consider myself lucky. It looks like I'm living in a fantasy ice world. Explosions constantly from the trees falling all around us. Falling trees have closed all the roads. Surreal, but pretty. One more night of this stuff and we'll start melting. Look out @Kathy, it's headed your way.
  • @Rat -- Glad to hear you are doing as well as can be expected and that the weather will be improving.
    Kimmie, SweetP, and I are all hoping for rain, and not liking the summer weather we're having right now.
  • @rat (((hugs))) wondered where you were! BP just not the same without you!
    @mvlna2 - we go out in 3 balls or occasionally 2 or 4 balls - each competitor keeps the score of one other player and marks their own score under the marker column - as per R&A golf rules. Each player must sign both their own card and the competitor's card they marked. Under the rules of golf (R&A ) they are signing for the actual strokes per hole not the total so simple addition errors do not count and whilst they enter the score in the computer the actual card is the master copy and must be put into the competition card box in the locker room - entering a score in the computer but not putting the card in the box results in disqualification from the comp!

  • Peter Vesterbacka just tweeted an Adweek article about how Rovio is now putting third-party video advertisements into all of its games.

    I cannot express how dissatisfied I am with this.

    I pay for ad-free, premium games and this is what I get.

    Ugh.
  • @absm - oh no how irritating is that! I hate ads and that's why I'm prepared to pay!
  • @Mumsie I'm hoping there'll be a way to pay out of it too.
  • Hello everyone; ) OB a PigKiller please:) yes yes Im late. . Sorry. Busy busy mostly tired add very depressing weather. .
    Hey Pa it hasn't hit me in full force yet...we've had snow then rain then freezing rain now nothing but wind and dropping temps..:( waiting for the second round
    @AngryBirdsSpaceMaster what do you mean? We will have ads even though we paid for ad-free? @blahalb09 holy my 15" we really only got maybe 4 on top of existing 6.. Im really hoping it's blown out to sea..
    I feel like an early night is upon me again. We'll see
