    @pagechanger LOL
    Hello @everyone! Haven't been here for a few days and just wanted to see what you all are up to these days.

    Hubby surprised me with a Valentine's weekend bike (motorcycle) road trip to Phoenix, visiting with a very good friend. She has a house there to get away from the cold winters in the Midwest. Boy, is she glad she doesn't have to deal with all that ice and snow, getting about 3 inches per hour in the past couple days! I sure am glad I live here in sunny California, although we are in a serious drought and need more rain. We rode back Monday night, but it was very windy and cold so it took longer than expected. Fighting wind gusts up to 60mph is pretty tough on a bike!

    Congrats on your promotion @Mumsie! Very well deserved, and loving the looks of your new rocker that @JLZ666 brought. Ahh, now you and @sunshine can relax and enjoy keeping up on the B&R business together. Such a great team!
    OB, I'll have a glass of Cristal please. *clink* *clink* Congrats to @Mumsie and @Sunshine!

    I'm still feeling pretty worn out after the weekend, so I'll say nighty-night for now.

    Have a happy flinging Thursday!
  • Whoo Hooo Congrats @mumsie42!!! That is So Awesome!!! Extremely well deserved and I couldn't agree more what a fantastic team you and sunshine will make!!! :)
    Oooohhh and Florida is Right around the corner!! Sure do hope the weather in both places is nice and (Blecky) sunny for you!! Too bad it isn't Cali your heading to, you'd get all the frikken sun you could ever want!! :/ HA not to mention if it was in my neck o' the woods you'd have one of the most famous golf courses at your fingertips, you'd be bloody Broke But it is beautiful!! LMAO :D
  • Ummm @karen68, @JLZ-666 whyyyy are the Olympics doing hair dressing as a sport?? And whyyyy are you both so excited about it? Didn't know you were both into curls?!!
    Ok whatever floats your boats!! Welcome back JLZ-666!! Yeeesh no wonder no one recognizes you!!!! It's been FOREVER!!! ;)
  • @Kathy it's my flinging prowess!! It's called smash em and bash em!! ;D Nothing like working off some mad!! *Snicker*
    *shines Kathys flashlight for her use tomorrow and sets out candles to see her safely to dreamland *

    Welcome home @sweetp! Hate the desert! Especially Arizona! But happy to hear you had a great time!! :)

  • Thanks @Kimmiecv, it was very nice and not hot at all. We did enjoy getting away for the weekend, which was long overdue since hubby works on most Saturdays so hardly time to have any rest!
    LOL the curling @JLZ666 and @karen68 are talking about is a very unusual Olympic event that is hard to understand (at least for me) what the objective is. It kinda reminds me of shuffleboard on ice with large round ice thingies that look like bubbles sliding down to hit opponent pieces. As I said, it's quite an unusual/strange sporting event!
    Speaking of rest, don't stay up too late Missy! (((Hugs)))

    The Rio update is now available! That means @AMSlimfordy and @BirdLeader will be busy updating the Nest to include the new levels. I just downloaded/installed it so I'm on my way to check it out, then I have to get to sleep. Nighty-night!
  • Just popping in for a quicky while I throw back some coffee.
    Yeah @kimmie........@karen and I just love the intricate waves and ringlets these professionals create LMAO! Smart arse! I really don't know that much about it either @sweetp but I did get excited when the BBC presenter mentioned my gym on the TV last night! Woohoo! She said that the friends and relatives were watching on the big screen they had installed there! I haven't been for a few weeks so I guess the place is bouncing! I desperately need to get back to it so maybe I'll book an early morning class for me and hubby tomorrow to see what's going on.
    @Kathy what do you mean "dark" woman? I have an image of me slipping in shrouded in a black cloak with thunder clouds over my head and a blazing 666 burning on my chest!! Haahaaaa! Now I come to think of it that's pretty much how I look right now!!
    Thanks for the Rio heads up @Sweetp. I'll have to wait till I get better connection at home to download it. Your mini vacation sounded fab! Oh for some sunshine *sob*
    Back to work so toodle pip peeps!
    @kimmiecv got your ding and thought I'd catch you live and say I'll have to get back to you while you're sleeping. Nighty night sweetie X
  • OB ermm..hi I'll have a PigKiller please; / could you please put the Olympics on the flat screen. .as I have got to see this 'curl' sport men blowing bubbles whilst styling Hair? I thought Olympics was like uhmm skiing and stuff and ice skate dancing? Jeez the world is changing! !
    Hey @Sweetp glad to hear you enjoyed your mini vaca.. sounds like fun. I haven't been on a motorcycle for years.. but i do remember the fun..And the wind not so much fun.
    @Kimmiecv I'll find another rain dance fir ya;)
    @mvnla2 how's the Rio update?
  • Just back from Rio (the new update, not the city). Fun, and no rocket Chucks, as in the last episode. Have completed it until there are enough scores to figure out where the averages really are.
    Hate that I hear the Olympics results half a day before I can see them, and since it is really the iceskating that I'm watching, I don't see it until almost a day later. They start the broadcast at 7 pm or 7:30 PST, and they show the iceskating last, which is after I go to bed.
    @Kimmiecv -- @Mumsie lives near some pretty famous, ocean-view golf courses herself. But I understand you live near one that is pretty good and not outrageously expensive: Pacific Grove Golf Links (the common man's Pebble Beach).
    @JLZ666 and @karen68 have got me interested enough in curling that I might actually watch a bit to see what it's about.
    @karen68 -- Heard that your women's hockey team beat the U.S. for gold. Congrats! Sounds like they earned it the hard way.
    @SweetP -- Glad you had a super Valentine's weekend! Don't suppose you played any golf there?
  • @Kathy -- Thanks for the rain dance! We really need it. Chance of rain next week; 80's this weekend. Isn't Feb. supposed to be the coldest month?
  • Cooll @mvnla2 you finished the update already haga I haven't even installed it yet..I haven't played Rio for aloong while probably a year even so i even missed the last update. .
    Why do you see the results of the Olympics a day before? Cuz they are talked about here?
  • Ohh and your welcome for the rain dance @mvnla2 I've been listening to the news .. terrible droug ht you guys have out there. Wish i could really send you the rain..
  • Love the rain dance @kathy. I'd be happy to send our weather out west, we're supposed to get drenched in rain tonight. On top of piles of snow & with the ground all frozen there's apparently a real risk of flooding. Strange weather for February.
    @sweetp, @kimmiecv you guys kill me - hair styling & bubbles!! Those "bubbles" are actually heavy rocks made of solid granite. Curling is more of a game of strategy than strength but the image you put in my head will always give me a giggle! :D
    @mvnla2 yeah the women beat the US for hockey gold. A real nail-biter of a game, 2 goals in the last 3 minutes to tie it up then won in overtime. Tomorrow the men play the US in the semis.
    It's a shame you don't get great Olympic coverage, we get live coverage from midnight til about 2 pm our time then highlights for the rest of the day. We can see practically everything live on 3 or 4 different channels.
    OB could I get 2 fingers of Scotch please?
  • @Kathy -- I mostly hear Olympics result listening to the news when I'm driving about. The Olympics broadcast starts fairly late; tonight it starts at 8mp! Sochi is 12 hrs ahead of us; the women's figure skating was complete at least 6 hrs ago; probably more. So I won't be able to see it for at least 10 hrs after it was finished!
  • Aww that sux @mvnla2 !! I don't watch but I understand what ya Mean.. takea the rooting s team on away from iya if you know the outcome..uhmm try not listening to the news broadcasts lol. .. easier said than done I know
    Im exhausted. .. busy busy work week.. tturning in now g'nite
    W ow we are getting close to 100k :)

    *Places flashlight on @Kimmiecv favorite booth* nightly night Pahtnah sorry I can't wait up. .have a great night and keep on flinging you 'lean mean flinging machine' !! Your kkicking piggie buttt !! (((((( hug))))
  • Ohhh thanks for the rain dance @Kathy!! Too cute!! :D Realllly hope it works since the last few "chances of rain" dried up before the ink got dry!! :/ No worries, better to get sleep if your that tired! Hope you finish up fast at work tomorrow! Ummm yeah actually Your cleaning up the boards really nicely my friend!! :D
    *shines and replaces batteries in Kathys flashlight for the weekend and sets out candles to see her safely to dreamland * Happy TGIF Kathy!! ;)
  • @mvnla2 IKR! I've been to a couple weddings at that golf course and it is a nice one! So see @mumsie42 you'd have Loads of sunshine AND some fun golf courses AND a beauuuutiful area to be a tourist in! Too bad your friend doesn't have a home here!!

    @karen68 erm yeah I couldn't help myself with the whole curl thing, I'm convinced it was a setup using a funked out name like that!! ;D At least you'll have a giggle along with the "sport!" Hey and I heard they're saying whoever loses the hockey game tomorrow has to keep bieber!! *Snicker* Idiot has worn out his welcome in the States and we Reallly want you to take the trouble making dope back!!! Hey ya'll bred the nincompoop so You ought to have to keep him IMO!!! ROFLMAO :D

    And that's me done for the moment!!
    BFNIMCBLIDK
  • LOL @kimmiecv you just had to bring up Bieber didn't you.. well Canada is going to win of course so you better get used to him :D
    Although to be honest I'm not sure who will win tomorrow, it's likely to be a close one. Looking forward to it.
    Past my bedtime, have a great evening all. :)
  • For those who want to understand a little more about curling:
    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/02/19/curling-rules-sochi-winter-olympics_n_4814401.html
    This explains what is going on, but not how the game is played.
  • For the record I Hate the Rio updsre.. the graphics are horrible. .I had so much trouble installing it. .
    @mvnla2 in level 3 there aren't many comments. Are there any reports of self exploding fish. . Or 70 points on restart after the pu monkey pop up?
  • @Kathy -- Wondering if you are pulling my leg? Are there really self-exploding fish? Yeah, I sure would like to know how people got the high scores. Seems like not many are sharing.
    Oh yes, another thing -- I haven't seen any more PU pop ups since the very beginning, at least not ones offering extra points.
  • Noo @mvnla2 I would Not do that! ! I'm a little insulted that you would think that ?
    Every so many flings both on my phone AND tablet that monkey pops up sometimes i get 70 points. . And sometimes the fish in the bottom explode before shooting yb.. sometimes rarely both but more often than not at least one. .:( honestly
  • I just installed the update when i get home. .at 4pm
  • @Kathy -- First mention I've seen about exploding fish. Are you talking about the little colored fish that swim by, or the dolphins in cages? Any particular level?
  • @Kathy -- Please don't be insulted. It was only after I thought about it a while that I thought you might be pulling my leg. They are of very uneven lengths due to how easy it is for others to pull them.
    I could use some exploding fish myself.
    I have noticed that sometimes if a fish swims into a canopy that's floating, the canopy does disintegrate.
  • Level 3 the 2 Dolpins in the below cage;/
  • Nope I haven't seen the fish swimming into the canopy. .yet as I said i just downloaded and haven't had much flinging time I made it through the first 2 levels o.k but the third is giving me trouble but most definitely every time that monkey comes up I either get 70 points or exploding fish. .well NOT Every time. . But i would say every 10 to 20 restarts. .
  • And is very curious No Comments on the page except poor mairasatara who asked what's up with the averages?
  • @Kathy -- I assume you mean the cage explodes and the dolphins swim free? And it's the 2 on the lower left, not the 2 further right with some TNT to explode their cage? Haven't seen either, but then I haven't seen most of the self-destruction reported on High Dive so far.
  • Yep the 2 on the lowr left Im not sure about the cage exploding or if it's the dolphin but yeah your probany right. Im trying to get a screenshot if i can
    Jeez if it's the Dolphins exploding we Rovio might have to answer to ssomeone lol!!
    I'll see what i can do. .this sux cuz I really dont like this update. But i want to figure what's going on with this level. .Curiosity killed the Kat!!
  • Ok I rethink got a screenshot is th e one dolphin on the left inn the bottom cage. .and the one in the cage above.
    I couldn't get it as they were exploding. .but i got it with them gone and the points on screeb and All birds on perch. M except ad soon as i snapped it my tablet shutout cuz I held the button too long. . But hopefully i got it..brb gonna check and upload toalbum
  • Didn't get it:( gonna try again
  • Got it @mvnla2 with both dolphins even;)
    http://angrybir.de/1hgdE9g
  • Seee I'm Not Crazy. ..woohoo

    OB I'll have a PigKiller please. Make it a triple cuz Everyone who play Rio is most likely to Hate Me Hard now that I've exposed their secret strat:/ Hey I call em'like i see em'obviously no one wanted to share that little tidbit of strat to get higher score.. hate me ad they will Im happy with myself cuz Im Honest..;) I could have just kept practicing ..but noo

    O.k Im done patting myself on the back now my arm is quite sorel..hee lol
  • Helooo..knock knock. Anyone?
  • @Kathy -- Thanks! I'll have to check if everyone of the high scorers is on Android. Maybe I need to hard close AB Rio?
  • @mvnla2 I don't know if 'hard close' would make a difference. .I had a real hard time downloading it. .and i did force stop it a couple times. .if I could make that first shot consistently then i could definitely say the extra 10 k would help. .but i haven't benn able to make it after exploding dolphins:/ and i give up lol maybe another day. .good luck i just wanted to let ya know ..
  • Hmm more like a spinn..o tried. .nigyt..
  • Oohh one more thing @mvnla2 I don't see why scores wouldn't be allowed? Just like any other self destruction level?
  • Crap!! Guess we're stuck with the freak job biebster :( you lucked out @karen68! I'm not sure the US team knows how much trouble it's in ATM for sticking us with the troublemaking teen!! Boy are they in for a surprise when they come home!! ;/ siiiggghhhhh it just ain't right! Guess it's good they didn't throw the crack mayor in as well!!! *Snicker* :D
  • @Kathy sounds like you made a wicked find in rio2! :) And poor @mvnla2 thinking you were pulling her leg!! LMAO huh it'll likely be forever before I get there at the rate seasons is going, my luck the glitch will be long gone!! Which level is it on? Maybe if it's close to #1 I can pop over there and see if iPhones got the glitch thingy too?!! Hmmmmm
    Anyways have a Wonderful time with your daughter!! Sounds like she's pampering you!! Dunno if you should be thrilled or scared of the possibility of the shoe falling?!! Fingers and toes crossed its just an I Love you treat!!! ;D
    *shines Kathys flashlight for her use tomorrow and sets out candles to see her safely to dreamland * (((hugs)))
  • Sorry, I've been flinging way in the new Rio update and found it quite interesting.

    Thanks @Kathy, @mvnla2, @JLZ666...it was really nice to get away for a couple days. We both needed it. As we always say, "it's not the destination, it's the journey."
    No golfing @mvnla2. I don't think it would be safe to strap our golf bags onto the bike and ride over 400 miles with our saddle bags and tourbag loaded up. Definitely too heavy and awkward. Heehee. I am going to play in a tournament tomorrow and Sunday. Perfect weather, not too hot or too cold right now around here.

    That's totally cool @JLZ666 the BBC mentioned your gym! Hope you got to book that class with hubby. I think you'll find the new High Dive levels a bit easy, yet challenging enough to test your flinging skills. Kinda like Piglantis. You'll probably run into the game freezing on you in the middle of playing, as discussed at length in the Level 1 walkthrough. It's not really specific which levels it happens in, but I've experienced it in four different levels. Sending some warm, cozy sunshine your way!

    IKR @Kathy, that dumba** Beiber is a joke! Me thinks the fame really got to his head and he can't figure out why it's not screwed on straight anymore! He needs to just GO AWAY, along with Miley Cyrus and Lindsay Lohan.
    Have a wonderful fun "girl time" with your daughter! You'll love getting a mani/pedi pampering. I love when I get my feet massaged, puts me to sleep! LOL Enjoy!
  • Awww, that baby owl is so cute @TomPuss! (S)He sure does love that blow dryer, and making sure every feather is properly fluffed and dried! Thank you for sharing!
  • Hi @SweetP Hope you're having a great golfing weekend! I've been playing Rio too, found it fun but the birds are a bit jerky and odd. Needs tweaking, I think. BTW, I agree with you on Miley Cyrus, I just couldn't believe my eyes the first time I saw her!
    @kimmie Hoping the drought'll kill off your slugs and snails. @Kathy, I do so love the rain dances.
    Have a super flinging Sunday, @all, and sweet dreams tonight xoxo
  • Hey OB ;) heard you were looking for me? Ohhh a little birdie told me.. sorry i was out with my daughter getting pampered. .;) nothing to worry just an 'I love you mom' day♥♡♥ was very nice. I'll have a PigKiller sure thanks:)
    @TomPuss thanks for the cute little owll.funny little guy;)
    Happy Saturday everyone. ..Im going flinging OB so no need for you to worry; )
  • Heyho peeps.
    I have to thank OB for allowing this dark mysterious women into the bar again,even though he knew who the bloody Hell she was! I think he was just showing off his feathers to @mumsie ;)
    @Sweetp I'll take a looksy tomorrow at the game and @Kathy thanks for the heads up on the glitch.
    I hope you enjoyed your Mani/Pedi @kathy? Bloody hell noooooo it shouldn't be sore! It should be a relaxing experience unless you got it done in a "in/out" type of place? I promise I'd treat you better :) @sweetp sadly I did'nt get to the gym as I had an unfortunate dizzy turn......not in a blond way;) I'll hopefully get back soon but yeah,it was cool to hear the place being mentioned. I need to look out for the team now! BTW Canada won gold for men & woman,GB got silver for men and bronze for woman!!!!! Well done Karen & Canada!
    @kimmie @sweetp you guys......seriously? Loved the explanation and then the reaction! Bubbles? Haahaaaa!!! I don't particularly like it or understand it but crap! Too funny! My laymans terms are you're throwing big granite stones down an ice runway towards a bullseye whilst trying to knock your opponents stone out of that bullseye! @karen68?
    @kathy if you thought Winter Olympics was just skiing and skating you missed sooooooo much! The snow boarding,snow cross and speed skating has been awesome!
    @tompuss hi & night night! That is one seriously cute birdie! I fell in love with its eyes :)
    Well that's me on a 2 week break from work so I'm just about to slip into something more comfortable and watch "Band of brothers" from the start.........TV at its best!
    Hope everyone has a fab weekend X
