  • Night @Jlz666 Sweet Dreams ♡♡
  • @Kathy yay, thanks :) Nothing's different, just hopefully now when I tell someone 'the ABN rules are so-and-so', they'll not call me hurtful names :)
  • ; ( Who called you hurtful names @Kelani *rolls up sleeves* lemme at em' who what when?
    Seriously you've been very helpful; )
  • Lol loove the 'Kel oogle ' part hee hee your pprobably right it came from 'he who does not speak to me anymore'
  • @Kathy When Stella came out, a lot of people were asking about various swaps/PU rules, and I replied to most of them. A few people made it clear they preferred an answer from a real admin, not a wannabe. It's all gone now. And, honestly, I would've thought the same thing if some random guy did that.
  • Lol @Kelani uhmm I have run across a few posts of my first beginner days and... hmm
    Anyway glad its all officio now:0
  • Yep. it helps. Just so ya know, I don't have any superpowers, so you'll still need to appeal to the big guys if you need anything important fixed :)
  • Yeppers no problem @Kekani ;) lol officio when did my phone learn Spanish or whatever that is haha!!
  • Well OB I guess I'll have a nightcap hmm how about something different ya I'll have a Frozen SpacePigkiller lol..; 0 thanks
  • My phone just freaked out again! ! It acted like I've never used it with all the hints on what to do and all my stuff on my home screens and secondary screens i had to do over they were all blank. .strange.
  • And I'm talking to myself again. .** nooo OB I don't mean your not here to listen* but really is 11pm and I'm talking to A vvirtual bartender who is after all a bird halloo time for bed lol

    Good night all. .. should i get the kitty hmm..
  • Night Ma

    @Kelani, I don't have an eidetic memory like @Estar. Quite the opposite. Far too many "senior moments". But if my poor excuse for a memory is working tonight, I was among the first to ask you to come to the BP. Back in April I believe. If I'd known then what I know now...ha ha ha. Maybe it was March because you came in like a lion and haven't slowed down a bit. You've made a lot of friends in that short time and made this your home. And I have the added benefit of not needing Google anymore. I use KeLoogle exclusively. It always comes with an interesting Kel connection. LOL

    Anywho, Congratulations on making the ABN Team. Well deserved.

    BTW, with all your bouncing around the Nest, you might want to get @Ma to certify you in "Poofing". It's a great way to travel once you learn how to materialize outside solid objects. I gave up after I ended up inside the walls of the BP on my first try.
  • G'nite @Pa
    P.s love the new Avatar :)
    Really really going now *poof*
  • Awww Kathy I always love the kitty... looks so comfy and utterly and totally relaxed. Hope you are sleeping like that right now. I am on my way to head out the door to go to work. But I wanted to thank mister @rat for my word of the day... in both English and Dutch whahahahahaha... Didn't know what eidetic memory was and translating to Dutch I still didn't know. Anyway thanks mister Rat for thinking that I do have such a memory, but believe me there is plenty of swiss cheese going up there in my head LOL

    Must dash now... it's not raining, so bike ride it is... see you all later and enjoy whine tuesday!
  • @all OK, enough scary horror movies!
    Now for a love-story that will surely make your day! Enjoy!

  • hi @kelani - went to bed after I posted and as my head hit the pillow I thought on it was a Theramin that Sheldon played but no way was I firing the ipad up again - you are obviously like me and just skim read the posts - about halfway up the last page I explained (sort of) my issues with the sound on my iPad - @estar yes I've checked both those you suggested but when I swipe up for the control centre - no volume - side button is not on mute even changed general settings to have the slider to lock rotation not to mute to see if that would help!
    @rat I too have many senior moments but I believe an eidetic memory is actually only visual i.e. can remember everything in minute detail for a short time - usually small children can do it - rarely lasts after about 7 yrs of age and apparently has no bearing on intelligence or ability to learn. Or that at least is what I remember from a conversation many years ago with a child psychologist at work!
    @tompuss what are you doing to us!! How lovely.
    @mvlna2 - get better soon.
    @Jlz - not too long to wait for the new phone
  • @TomPuss -- Another great video!
  • @Mumsie, @mvnla2 So happy you liked it!

    @JLZ666 OK, you asked for the original - here are two Ringu sites! Full of spoilers but interesting. You can also find trailers on YT.

  • @Mumsie Don't get me wrong, since my primary instruments are electronic, I wouldn't mind having a Theremin. I imagine it'd be awful on my elbow, though (nerve entrapment, like Rat) :)

    @SweetP Thanks! And congrats to you on moving up from the bottom of the list. This does not mean you get to order me around. :)

    @Rat Gotta love how things play out. You, @Kathy and @mvnla2 are completely responsible for dragging me in here from my soapbox in DZ-22. And of course in here is where I bumped into little miss @estar, who I apparently impressed at some point. :P

    So feel free to award yourselves as much credit (or blame) as you feel necessary. :) I expect there are a few raised eyebrows out there, and I can't say I disagree. At the time BL asked me if I was interested in helping, we'd never spoken, except when he replied to a bug report in the forums. He took a big chance for the good of the nest, which is pretty darn respectable. Since I've been in his position before, I can appreciate how difficult it is. Personally, I could never do it. When you've worked on something for years, it become your baby, and you're very careful about who you let handle it. :)
  • Oh, and if any of you have noticed your walkthrough posts magically being corrected (missing links added, @mention typos, duplicate posts removed) over the past month or two, *waves hand* That was me on the moderator perch trying to help you guys out, and be sneaky about it.

    Despite that, a few of you observant guys and girls still caught me. :) Apparently, If I fix something while sleepy, I tend to inform whoever was affected, and not realizing I'd done it. Ah well.
  • Ow and count me in on the "no horror movies" list. I do watch a couple of series I think can have the label horror for kids, like the series Grimm... but full force slap in the face scare the pants of you horror... nope not for me. JLZ you hubby is nuts, I would have clogged him for sure if he would have done that to me.
  • @TomPuss I wanted to thank you once again for keeping us entertained with your video links. I don't have or take the time to watch them all, but when I do I am always in for a surprise. As was the German commercial! Which reminds me... I saw the Cloony commercial on TV today!! I immediately had to think of you!
  • Any seeing I am talking to myself, I don't have to hand out the earplugs.... because I want to WHINNNNNNEEEEEEE about Pig days level 2-2... I can not seem to pass the 150k mark and I really want to have one at least in the 155k seeing others have managed to get 160k+

    I have been at this level for days, even read all the comments twice and tried all the tips, but still nothing.... Whineeeeeeeeeeee!!!
  • @olikcho
    @olga-chochlakiewicz -- Welcome to ABN! Hope you read the Quick Start guide for new members.
    I don't know how many people you sent friendship requests to, but a lot of us don't accept friendship requests unless we've seen the person around the nest some.
    I'm sending you this from the Bloated Pig, stop by and have a chat, not to mention free food and drink on your first visit.

  • @mumsie -- I have found that sometimes it helps to turn airplane mode on and then off. My iPad seems to get confused about which state it's supposed to be in.
  • @mumsie I'm in London too on Friday 14th
    First place we go is the Tower of London, for those amazing poppies, I'll give you a wave if I see you
  • Woooahoooo Congrats @pa Sir rat9 Goldflinger King of Space Hail!!
    All drinks on the house in honor of our resident rat!
  • @hunnybunny - think I'm going Saturday to the Tower - though if I get an early train may go before I go to my sons. Can just imagine the two of us waving at random people or whispering our ABN names to see if anyone reacts!
    Wow thanks @kathy - make mine a hot chocolate!
  • Well I haven't caught up, but woo hoo @kelani on being admin. Can I just start a long list of things you could do......
    Joking, only joking ;-)
    @mumsie I'll whisper to anyone I think is you :-)
    I'll try to catch up completely tomorrow
    Night night all
  • @Hunnybunny Thanks :) You can make as many lists as you want, but I still can't do much about them. Unless you want to point me to some of your badge suggestions. I've been trying to build a list of the best ones, and remember you had some good ideas.
  • @all in the U.S. -- Hope you voted today! There's probably still time if you haven't.
  • @Kathy -- Great avatar. Didn't see it before I posted, but there can't be too many reminders, right?
  • Thanks @mvnla2 Yep never to many reminders its so important not to mention its one of our rights as citizens after i consider it my civic duty:)
  • IKR @Estar! That 2-2 level is tricky, and I can't get above 145K, either! And that was following the strategy by @pauliboy. It's the only one that worked well enough for me, so maybe you'll have better luck with it and finally get your 150K+!

    edit: Thank you @Kathy! and congrats to you @rat9, you goldflinger you!
  • edit: Nevermind @kelani. I figured it out for myself.
  • Night Pa
  • Night Ma
  • Such a shame that it's not possible for a walkthrough (comments only) page and leaderboard to be avaiable when a new pig day opens - being in the same time zone means it's my only chance of appearing near the top! FYI 124k is 2* and 134k is 3*
    OB I'm off to my very own Mumsie's so Two Americanos to go please but put an extra espresso shot in hers!
