12:34 am

I think he has harmed a lot of people here

12:35 am

I had help granny

12:35 am

how did you find that, ruru?

12:35 am

wondering?

12:35 am

obviously someone we all know

12:36 am

well.. if a person has never died and never existed.. this is how it comes together

12:37 am

fireflies

12:37 am

*!*~*!* ta da *!*~*!*

12:37 am

ruru, for what it is worth, you have my fullest backing. it's time the truth was told.

12:37 am

I read that today (tomorrow?) is the second anniversary of Nancy Boy's death - seems just a while ago. Such a nice young man, and much missed

12:37 am

WTGLAT!!! and WTG NAN!!!

12:37 am

kind of funny isn't it Frank Cleary and mr Clary?

12:38 am

ugh...WTG GLANT!!!!

12:38 am

think you should look at my profile christine

12:38 am

Julian Clary

12:39 am

are you saying nancyboy was fictional?

12:39 am

christine....we are here for you.

12:39 am

I just sent you another email, ruru

12:39 am

yes glant

12:39 am

thanks jilli

12:39 am

unbeloeveable - are youi sure?

12:39 am

wait, WAIT??? NB was made up?

12:40 am

yep.

12:40 am

yes he is, glant

12:40 am

I suggest you google the guy mentioned in ruru's profile and see what you think.

12:40 am

why???

12:40 am

yes glant

12:40 am

someone has too much spare time

12:40 am

Yes, why? And how was it figured out?

12:41 am

Of course he was, and when "him" and I fell out everyone on here hate me!!!!

12:41 am

there isn't a death record for any Jesse or any young person in London or any surrounding county on the supposed day of Jesse's death

12:41 am

That's interesting, ruru.

12:41 am

i'm so sorry smom and nonnie. it was a very cruel ruse played on all of us. fortunately ruru saw through it.

12:41 am

Well, not everyone, flask. I wasn't aware of a falling out.

12:41 am

I have never thought one bad thing about you Flask ever

12:42 am

Neither have I, flask.

12:42 am

nor I, Flask

12:42 am

flask, never have i thought of you in a negative way.

12:42 am

I don't see the link between matsumoto and NB, but I never saw NBs profile pic

12:43 am

Ok...sorry to generalise.....the people online at time of conversation, hated me, is what I should have said!!!

12:43 am

all of Jesse's Photos were very professionally done.. and they are of this person

12:43 am

I'll post it now, glant...wait a bit and then refresh or go out and back in

12:43 am

Ooops, not sure what's up - (1) I thought Rururocks' profile might be NB? and (2) Granny rose is here for me???

12:43 am

Sorry that happened to you Flask.

12:43 am

read my profile christine please

12:44 am

OK, I get that somebody could use another person's picture as their icon - they may even have idoloised them

12:45 am

not how Jesse put that out glant

12:45 am

Och its ok now.....but I was hurt.....he was sooo insincere and people just couldn't see it......he was milking so much sympathy....and I hated watching it!

12:45 am

Wow...I know this isn't the first time someone has tried to pull the wool over our eyes and sadly, I guess it won't be the last.

12:46 am

oh, i see, jesse said it was himself?

12:46 am

he was here when i joined

12:46 am

yes more than once

12:46 am

yes more than once

12:46 am

christine, the let down after realising you have been a victim of a extremely cruel hoax is great. please hun....it's very hard to take in what ruru is saying. and i will support you through this.

12:46 am

i was aware he was supposedly a friend of julian clary

12:46 am

Here's the picture I have of Jesse

12:47 am

very true.......but who am I to tell anyone on here that they should ignore someone....of course I can't!

12:47 am

Yep, looks very much to be the same person as ru's icon.

12:47 am

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Cl\nary

12:47 am

you are right, flask.

12:47 am

it should make us all more vigilant!

12:48 am

<---I'm really a 14 year old girl with a bad attitude

12:48 am

:D :D : D

12:48 am

we know that!!!!.....lmao...

12:48 am

ahahahhaa, I had always thought that about you ru.

12:49 am

guess it's a risk of online friends, you can never tell who is real and who is not - that's one reason girls get 'groomed' online

12:49 am

ru, have you looked into who was running that profile and why? i never remember him asking for money or whatnot

12:50 am

luckily all my online friends have been real - or at least the ones i've also met IRL

12:50 am

I think Julian Clary is an attention seeker

12:51 am

sadly sad

12:51 am

glant ..there have been a few of those in here sad to say

12:52 am

wrote back jilli

12:52 am

not money leslie.

12:52 am

I am truely shocked ruru. NB was everything that JC was not. Do you think JC was posting as NB?

12:52 am

just attention

12:52 am

He just wasn't welcome here as he was abusive to many nice people here and he cant' stay away from the game and comes back as other players

12:53 am

Interesting that his Wikipedia entry has nothing since 2 years ago, perhaps he had some kind of crisis?

12:53 am

ru have you recognized him as another player?

12:53 am

yes Bugs

12:53 am

he hides behind aliases and characters and make up in his professional life

12:53 am

yes flosey

12:54 am

and was often extremely blunt, rude and cutting

12:54 am

curfrently?

12:54 am

worse than that glant

12:54 am

it's very strange, glant, but you have to accept there are some very strange weirdos out there. ruru has ever so gently pulled us up before we feed THIS weirdo's ego. tomorrow, as has been said, is NB's a

12:54 am

oops, misspelled, sorry

12:54 am

he was just here the other day as Frank Cleary flosey

12:54 am

How sad. I always liked NB but Julian drove me crazy. I never understood how weird he went when NB "died" but it makes sense now.

12:54 am

worse?

12:55 am

sorry...NB's anniversary of his death. let's not feed this weirdo's ego by posting sentiments re this

12:55 am

I never 'met' JC here, but another UK player topld me he was here under an alias

12:55 am

i don't remember a julian, am i missing something?

12:55 am

yes .. he abused Atalante, Haz, and other players

12:55 am

How did you figure this out ruru?

12:56 am

oh yes, yes

12:56 am

I am weird as in other people's fame is meaningless ot me

12:56 am

I'll write to you Bugs

12:56 am

I'm with you on that one, Glant

12:57 am

and me ru? please

12:57 am

thanks. I have no reason to doubt you, I am just shocked and impressed by your ability to make the connection that never occurred to me

12:57 am

i'd be very interested to know too ru

12:57 am

me too please ru??

12:57 am

I too am impressed.

12:58 am

(peeking in from a lurk....) everyone I've chatted with has been swell, but occasionally people are rude or downright trolls. I often "lurk" to remove the drama...and stay away from offline convos -- except mlfl9 who I know from high school. But most of you are lovely folks.

12:58 am

I don't remember if I spoke to that person here or if he emailed me, or IM

12:58 am

I don't remember a Julian either - but there have been a few abusive people

12:58 am

The less I hear about the person involved the better. I wiped him from my memory about two years ago.

12:58 am

Why don't you just post it to your profile, ru? Or is that too tacky?

12:58 am

Hi flask. Sorry that you were treated badly by other Babblers too.

12:58 am

the friend who introduced me to babble spent a lot of time talking to 'NB', i will find it difficult to convince her that he was a product of somebody's iumaginatiuon

12:59 am

I did think all the candle icons were pretty though

12:59 am

And now I'll go back to my own icon.

12:59 am

:-)

12:59 am

I missed NB and Julian and Frank Cleary. One would think a celeb (even minor) would have better things to do that troll around this chog!!

12:59 am

awwww, glant. that is going to be one herculean task, hun

12:59 am

I had one. I missed him

12:59 am

people are caught out by this because we are not looking for it, we believe everyone is who they say they are....and 99% of the time, they are!!!!!

1:00 am

flask...and that is because we are mostly very trusting souls.

I believe who I say I am...most of the time.

1:00 am

time for me to turn in -- good night everyone :)

1:00 am

Correct!!!

1:01 am

ROFL nonnie

1:01 am

I admit to being suspicious when I first began to play but then we had Babble meetups and Babblers who show up to those are GREAT

night nan

1:01 am

nite nan!

1:02 am

but it only takes one "clown" to spoil it for everyone!

I haven't had the good fortune of making it to one of the meets. I often envied the players who have been able to get together.

1:04 am

well. Bugs .. I do exist.. I've met Doren, DC, and tried to meet KJE

1:05 am

Are you sure ruru? You didn't come to the one I hosted... wink wink

1:05 am

lol.. I was in prison.. I couldn't get a work release

1:10 am

1:15 am

Wonder if he was frank too

Flask, po is what stereos are made of, without the initial co-

1:21 am

I feel badly for the people he's harmed

1:21 am

so 6 rhymes with what happens when two line intersect at right angles....

so6 is same as where two walls meet but not the same first letter.

1:22 am

ty mich and nonnie

1:22 am

flask, po6, an op***** is someone who you compete against

1:22 am

po - think of an op word for foe and lose the op form the start

ty granny

1:22 am

some walls meet at the lumber yard

1:22 am

don't get the po clue mich_...sorry!

1:22 am

lol babble...not these walls

1:23 am

oh yes, the stereo parts are com-po 6, sorry

Hey, got thanx all!

Hot and humid Rose. Rained today for 15 mins - first rain in quite a while! But nowhere near as hot as you've had in Melbourne.

see 1:31 grannyrose's clue

1:33 am

Bugs, see Rose's clue 1.31

1:33 am

BR....not looking good, i'm afraid...lol

sorry I missed it............. looking

a marathon, granny??? I'm impressed!

BR - read this am about the loss of your friend - sympathies :)

1:34 am

Is your recovery going well, Rose

1:34 am

YAY for granny. I am done. Good night all

1:35 am

Congrats Bugs :) Sleep well

Thank you, Lizlin. Death is so permanent

For sure!

well done bugs...nite-nite!

1:36 am

spro

1:37 am

nonnie, i am impressed also...BR , i think, was being facetious.* giggle *

lol...I figured that out AFTER I had responded. :o)

1:37 am

but having said that...i am up to 8 hour shifts this week.

1:38 am

that's a long time - hope you're not on your feet all that time

1:38 am

good for you, rose

That is wonderful--especially with all you have been through.

1:39 am

nah, liz. we are civilised in our recovery room. we have stools on which to perch.

1:39 am

I've been reading the back chog and while I can see why ruru has taken the theory of NancyBoy being made up, you have to then accept that it's a conspiracy. If you look back to the days when NB's death was announced, J.C. and Fauxmage worked in tandem to give details and back up stories.

1:39 am

I need 1 x s4...tried everything....can't find anything!

so = ache, flask?

1:40 am

Glad to hear that! A friend in UK has just had partial knee replacement 1 - the 2nd is in 3 months.

1:41 am

got that nonnie....

Hello, Haz.

1:42 am

so 5 / 10 too

so4/5 sounds like an epee perhaps without the w

1:42 am

Hello, BabbleRabble.

1:42 am

got that one to Nonnie

1:43 am

Hi Haz.....hows life over the water?

1:43 am

Does anybody know if fauxmage is real? The name translates to false magician...

so4 s + the number before two?

1:43 am

Hello, Flask. A wee bit of snow, not too much, otherwise fine.

1:44 am

lol...got that too!

1:44 am

If JC is back people need to be aware he is a mean, mean sob

hmmmm...that is all I have up my sleeve, flask lol

1:45 am

so4,4 so4,5 so4,4 so5,10 so4,4 so6,18

1:45 am

Fauxmage always swung into action whenever J.C. was being questioned or doubted. Don't forget that we've also supposedly had Boy George and his sister on here.

1:45 am

Which are you missing Flask?

1:45 am

flask, so + Registered Nurse

aha...that was the one who got nasty with me once. I couldn't remember the name until you said it, haz.

1:46 am

I never liked J.C. and was always suspicious of him but so many others seemed to adore him. I'd love to get the thing settled but don't know how you'd go about it. MikeyinBerlin was another extremely articulate gay vegan man who appeared here and was a bit of a 'character'.

1:47 am

it seems that JC had several identities here, perhaops fauxmagew was one, and maybe he even fabricated boy george et al

1:47 am

Anyway, must do the station run with daughter - back shortly.

boy george and his sis...rather rude

1:48 am

am missing the so4 between the so5..and so6

1:48 am

He never warmed up to me.

1:48 am

Mikey in Berlin could possibly be JC too

1:48 am

If you have the so 6 - remove the comparative ending

1:48 am

flask, see me at 1:45

1:48 am

At Least Dr. God is making some money from this guy

1:49 am

bye bye glant

1:53 am

Heading to bed. You good people take care and hope to see you again soon.

1:53 am

Wind Chill -32°F (-36°C)

1:53 am

am away too, take care all!

1:55 am

sleep well, nonnie

1:55 am

that's cold, BR. hope your heating is up to scratch.

1:56 am

* you're *

1:58 am

I remember Mikey in Berlin. He got weird and huffy about something and said he was leaving Babble but people could email him directly. I agree with ruru about the possibility....

1:59 am

mich...please believe...ruru is authentic.

2:01 am

yes, I know Ruru is real, I'm saying he might be right that Mikey could have been an alias.

2:01 am

I've been a member since april 2006 and when I started I was working at home. The chog was a welcome way to connect with people during work breaks...

2:02 am

okay,i understand, mich.

2:03 am

there have been so many of us taken in by this scam.

2:03 am

Haz, if you're still here -- I just checked back in and want you to know that JC had me completely fooled and I learned my lesson painfully in the end.

2:04 am

awww, jilli...you and how many others??

2:05 am

And now I'm heading for bed -- hoping for no nightmares about all that! Farewell for now, all...*poof

2:05 am

night, jilli. sleep well, hun

2:05 am

I'm back. He fooled a lot of people.

2:06 am

hey, haz.

2:06 am

Hello.

2:07 am

I just felt suspicious of a lot of the more colourful personae that were trotted out over time.

2:08 am

yhaz, perhaps look at how you have reacted to other babblers? on th5 recommendation?

2:08 am

Before I leave Haz.. it isn't a conspiracy theory... you can check it out on line.. not a single death in London and thirteen surrounding counties of a Jesse Kae or Kai and no one was younger than about 52.. I also checked the 20th and the 22nd.. no deaths of a young korean man anywhere

2:08 am

Hoovering up people's e-mails, creating a group following, calling people by their real name instead of their babble name, being self-absorbed etc etc.

2:09 am

ruru, I'm not doubting you it's just I wonder how the whole thing was pulled off because there were multiple people involved.

2:09 am

maybe the multiple people aren't as many people as you think

2:10 am

haz...peer group pressure??

2:10 am

or maybe there were mulitple Babble names involved and one mastermind with lots of e-mail addresses.

2:11 am

I just know that J.C. and Fauxmage were supposedly on together those days when it all went crazy because NB's death had been prematurely announced.

2:11 am

Fauxmage is a separate person

2:11 am

she is not JC

2:11 am

haz, not judging you....the mind-set is all invasive.

2:11 am

In which case she has been fooled as well?

2:12 am

I think so

2:12 am

hey dianne

2:12 am

All I know is that J.C. was an extremely divisive person in here.

2:12 am

Hi again :)

2:12 am

Hi rose - how are you feeling?

2:13 am

All I know is that I will never forgive him for savaging Atalante and some others

2:13 am

hey hey..haz... what's this about j.c?....

2:13 am

Hello Babblers. Yes I am a separate person, and I was fooled as well. I apologize to anyone I have offended.

2:13 am

hey liz

2:13 am

And if he is the mastermind behind the whole Nancy Boy thing - what a creep. I kept my distance from Nancy Boy because of his supposed allegiance to J.C.

2:13 am

It's not difficult to set up virtuall VPN s for your computer, so people think you're in a different country!

2:14 am

Hey Ro! Snow day?

2:14 am

dianne....doing well. have been to a new GP. she is soooo up to date. fell very relaxed now she is in control.

2:14 am

no such luck liz...the school is open...but im going in late...

2:14 am

Ro, had a lovely week last week with the family

2:14 am

Fauxmage, can you explain what happened because you seemed to be close to J.C. and involved when the whole Nancy Boy thing happened?

2:15 am

not here, liz....no snow in sight.

2:15 am

yeah..my son's not a bad guy is he..lol

2:15 am

Groan! Poor you. Drive safely.

2:15 am

No, he's lovely.

2:15 am

Glad to hear that, Rose.

2:15 am

No rose. Not in summer in Melbourne but snow in London!

2:16 am

I truly thought Nancy Boy was a real person. I became friends with a supposed friend of his after he supposedly died too.

2:16 am

was it finally proved that j.c.....was not THE j.c.?

2:16 am

aaagghh!!!! of course.!!!!

2:16 am

it's like a soap opera.. all of his characters must die

2:16 am

I have been through an emotional wringer over this and am quite shocked.

2:16 am

hi all, can't sleep

2:17 am

And your association with J.C.? He called you Laura and talked of you being his web administrator. Is J.C. not really Julian Clary as he claimed.

2:17 am

have been reading back in the chog and cannot believe that I was duped along with lots of others. what a horrible thing to do

2:17 am

I was never his web admin. I own a forum of which he was once a member.

2:17 am

faux....so sorry for the let-down.

2:17 am

Thank you grannyrose.

2:18 am

That makes sense, Fauxmage. You were sucked in as well.

2:18 am

peri...i am here....it's so sad that this sociopath was able to dupe all of us.

2:18 am

So Ata was right all along. So was herinfernallady who moved heaven and earth to try and expose J.C.

2:18 am

Yes I was, and again, I am very sorry to anyone to whom I was rude. I thought I was standing up for abused friends.

2:19 am

yes.. and Frank Cleary (Clary) is Julian too

2:19 am

He'll certainly be on tomorrow to garner sympathy for the passing of Jesse

2:19 am

really, ruru?

2:19 am

I actually feel vindicated now. I once wrote a bit in my profile challenging J.C.'s identity and he reported me to Dr-God.

2:20 am

hold on..now im confused...can someone please tell me one way or the other... j.c was NOT Julian clary as claimed right?

2:20 am

you rock, haz.

2:20 am

who knows.. it probably is Julian Clary..

2:21 am

I'm guessing we'll see a lot of gay vegetarians that only adopt pets from pounds for years now

2:21 am

I cannot imagine any celeb, however famous or not, using their " known" names on a site like this.

2:22 am

help with the en7 pls

2:22 am

Part of my confusion at the start was my feeling that Julian Clary wouldn't have the time or inclination to get involved with a site like this, the J.C. persona seemed too forced, too eager to on the one hand claim to Julian Clary and on the other to keep it secret or not publicise the fact.

2:22 am

he went by JC liz.. not Julian Clary

2:22 am

Oops! Pb for me!

2:22 am

that could be too haz.

2:23 am

But he did claim to be Julian Clary and got very cross with me and others who challenged him.

2:23 am

Ok ru! I see

2:23 am

there are a lot of people who want to be celebrities and could have stolen his name

2:23 am

exactly haz... and when I spoke to him in person after one of his shows...he denied it... and I was vilified here by some for trying to expose him..

2:24 am

But ruru, I agree that AndrewinDrag had all the characteristics to be another personality in the hall of babble fame.

2:24 am

Not only that, rolin, but I've seen transcripts of conversations between him and another babbler in which he accused you of lying (about the after-show encounter)

2:24 am

yes.. and he disappeared when someone commented " gee something sounds familiar here".. Andrew hasn't been seen snce

2:25 am

I noticed that, ruru.

2:25 am

lol...really haz??... what a hoot...

2:25 am

rolin.. you criminal you... :D

2:25 am

rolin.. you criminal you... :D

2:26 am

Absolutely. Lots of people here were thoroughly condemned in that conversation for not buying into the wonderment that was J.C.

2:26 am

Naughty Ro!

2:26 am

rur... a badge ill wear proudly...ty... but seriously..i have avoided the chog for a very long time since then...

2:27 am

I have bit my tongue for a loooooong time.. I had to speak up.. it's just too creepy

2:27 am

That's what I mean, rolin, he divided the community here.

2:28 am

That looks like horrible english.. sorry

2:28 am

Yes, your past participles need some work.

2:28 am

yeah well.. I have my suspicions about another babbler...but I've learned my lesson... I just play the boards...and stay out of the chog for most of the time

2:29 am

not just my participles haz.. LOL

2:29 am

peri, en7, final + musical annotation

2:29 am

I found it, ty rose

2:30 am

good night all.

2:43 am

goody! lizlin gave me a gift to start!

2:45 am

hello my daeling

2:46 am

* daling *

2:46 am

argghh...*darling *

2:46 am

I'm trying to get Ruby into the studio for her breakfast (door open, freezing cold), but Rufie is harassing her. Very annoying

2:48 am

lol, ruby....and when is a male going to make it easier for a female???

2:49 am

she is so sweet and passive that he would eat al of her food, given the chance

2:49 am

she'll be 10 on Saturday, my small miracle!

2:50 am

as i said....a male will walk all over a female...given half a chance.

2:50 am

ruby....a miracle indeed...

2:50 am

That's an awful generalisation, grannyrose.

2:51 am

lol, haz...when it comes to animals...

2:52 am

As long as you're not inferring that all men are nasty. I think they get a hard time in here.

2:52 am

and i did'n't say that the males would succeed..LOL

2:53 am

That's true!

2:53 am

WOW, I tried to re-read Rururock's profile, an it crashed my computer - taken all this timee to coax it back. Now I need to read the choc, find out what I missed.

2:53 am

witrh female chows, the only time they are nasty is when they're being bred, then the females have to be muzzled or they'd hurt and/or kill the males

2:54 am

Be sitting down, Christine, there are a few shocks.

2:54 am

christine....take your time, hun

2:56 am

have taken ruru's information at face-value. i really trust him

2:57 am

Yes, well, when last I was able to read the chog, someone (JC/Julian Clary??) had perpetrated a rotten trick. How small his life must be.

2:58 am

Gawd, three typos in the earlier post..

2:58 am

ruby...do so trust ruby is not within your parameters.

3:00 am

it is nearly 8pm, my time. love, and hugs to you all.

3:00 am

Bye, grannyrose.

3:25 am

And I'm off to get the day kicked into shape. Bye all

3:36 am

Christine--what was the rotten trick?

3:48 am

I just read all the back chog - I guess the trick was that NancyBoy who (supposedly?) died two years ago tomorrow was totally fabricated by that offensive nutcase JC (who is about the only one who ever made me close out the chat in disgust)

3:50 am

...though one wonders if JC really had it in him to be as nice as NB was. It had to be a stretch!

3:50 am

Thanks, rbud. I just read back in the chog. Honestly, we must pity someone like that as he obviously has no life. This is such a lovely community of really good people....always has to be a rotten apple trying to spoil everything.

3:52 am

Here I am at nearly 3 in the morning unable to sleep because I have the flu and where do I go? My Babble friends!! What motivation could someone possibly have to try to lie and be rude?? Sick.

3:53 am

a good Actor and of course he had a good audience.how sad is all that

3:54 am

I wonder if there is a way Dr. God can block entries from that ISP address?

3:55 am

Of course, it wouldn't matter to me since I'd verbally tear him a new one if he tried that while I'm here!

3:56 am

I just searched matsumoto (jun) - who was mentioned as the person whose images were used as NB - and found nearly all the pics that were supposedly used as NB's icons, sigh...

3:56 am

Wow---this person needs professional help.

3:57 am

Wouldn't give him the satisfaction of wasting any more time on him.....

3:58 am

Going to go steam my head for awhile....HATE being sick. After being up all night Saturday due to my cat incident, I'm so exhausted you'd think I could sleep. Bye, all. Hugs all around.

3:58 am

feel better soon, Mimi - (((hugs)))

3:59 am

Thx, rbud. Glad I got to talk to you since I usually miss you here.

4:01 am

well, I'm sick too, haha, so here I am. But then I stay up this late frequently.

4:02 am

repos

4:02 am

Sorry--was trying one more before I left. Guess I'll go be sick in the PB!! Bye. Poof

4:03 am

I hate that that one doesn't work, tried it also. I guess it's "demo" that works, I always mix up the two.

4:03 am

Oh, just realized it is not a word so no PB for me after all....

4:03 am

yep, you're in the clear! :)

4:04 am

The capricious nature of the words allowed is often frustrating but guess it's also part of the charm. Now I really am gone! ((rbud))

4:05 am

BTW, rbud, love your animated icon.

4:06 am

ty! :)

4:28 am

good day Babblers!

4:37 am

lol... I am in the grid today

4:44 am

One word left.....an s6.....clue plz

4:44 am

hello movie my man

4:45 am

the only S6 I have so far I am myself

4:45 am

Got thay

4:46 am

Got that one

4:46 am

oh, and now also sp + hire a car or place to live

4:47 am

Also have that one

4:47 am

sorry, don't have other yet, just started

4:47 am

others*

4:56 am

movie, I think I found it. so6/18. It rhymes with the places where the walls of the room come together.

4:58 am

Hello all. I just read back a little bit. What is going on? Nancyboy that we all cared about & mourned was a fake??? Can someone fill me in? If I read back too far I'll never get any work done today.

4:58 am

ty sp6....that's crash, boom, crackle!!!!!

4:58 am

wtg movieman!!!

4:58 am

hi Michnick, first I hear about it?

4:59 am

Hi sprite. Anyone here still that can fill us in?

5:03 am

ok, sorry, had to log back in, the chat froze on me (from shock, no doubt)

5:04 am

and oops... yes, just read back a little and when you google 'matsumoto (jun)' you get all the pictures that have been used as nancyboy's icons...

5:05 am

What is matsumoto? Someone faked being NB or is this a matsumoto a real person?

5:06 am

if this is really a 'joke' from that darn JC, he is even a lower person than I thought. Such jokes are sick. And I wonder, negativeneil was close to JC as well.

5:06 am

the matsumoto is a real person, but he is not our NancyBoy

5:06 am

Mich, Sprite - I'm not in the inner circle here so I can't direct you clearly but apparently all the info is in Ruru's profile or email (??) JC (Julian Clary) or someone using his name (he is a Brit comedian) made up Nancy Boy. Ruru says he has proof

5:07 am

CREEPY!!

5:08 am

thanks jwr, I have to read up then in ruru's profile. I'd hate to think we mourned a fake person. I've always felt that JC was a sicko. And of course it is not really Julian Clary, it has always been someone posing like him. The real JC has better things to do with his life, no doubt.

5:08 am

Oops, hit caps by accident, but I guess I did mean to shout. We 'knew' so much about NB's life, his relationship w/his parents, BF, this JC went to a lot of trouble to do this to us.

5:09 am

i can't access ruru's profile

5:10 am

it happens, people creating a whole drama out of nothing and going to extremes to do it. But I would not have expected a babbler to do that... but then again, it is easy to join and no need to play the game even, if you want to dramaqueen.

5:10 am

If true - and seems it is -- sorry for what this hoaxer put you all thru. I've been Babbling for I think 7 years but I don't get into the chog much, even lurking. Ignored the Nancy Boy entries because I have spent 30 years, personally and professionally, with HIV/AIDS, and did not wish it to enter my Babbletime.

5:11 am

it is the risk we run for caring for eachother. I wouldn't change that. But I hate the thought that someone is sick enough to take advantage.

5:12 am

I can imagine, jwr, no need to burden your relax time with that. Darn. Ruru's profile is not public, we can only access it when he is online, I think.

5:12 am

Most of it is in the chog, except where people ask exactly how ruru got the evidence, then he told them to contact him outside Babble. Don't know how.

5:12 am

Movieman, just do a Google image search on Jun Matsumoto. There is a reason that I regularly put warnings about internet imposters in my profile.

5:13 am

ok will check out the chog then, thanks jwr.

5:17 am

The guy whose pics, icons and identities were used is the most used/abused. I wonder if he is aware of any of this.

5:19 am

Hello, all..please may i have the stats for 'N' under the 'D' please..my guess work is fading..lol

5:19 am

yw Sprite. It's sad, cruel, makes people distrust one another. Bad stuff is happening these days, esp in the US. Ignorance breeds conspiracy theories that tear into everything, for example, those who are insisting that the massacre in Newtown is made up.

5:20 am

Mich, I think Ruru's point was that none of them exist -- they were all Julian Cleary.

5:20 am

or someone using his name. But just one person.

5:20 am

Mich, this didn't hurt Matsumoto at all. But it did hurt some very kind people here, a lot.

5:21 am

I understood that JC used the pics from a real person, but made up the persona.

5:21 am

I was very distressed when NB 'died."

5:21 am

It is indeed sad and cruel. I know some people who will be very hurt by this, and I am one of them. But I will keep on trusting. Won't let my view of life and babblers be ruined by one drama queen who I fell out with almost from the very start.

5:22 am

Hey, Sp5, you must be real because you are in the grid today!

5:22 am

zooz, I think it is ne4/5

5:23 am

Thank you, Spritey!

5:23 am

I am totally real, lol. With rotten black humor and sometimes vicious puns included.

5:23 am

*Looking*

5:23 am

Me too, with all my warts

5:23 am

Nice to talk to you for a change -- gotta get back to work. Have fun; this is a small one.

5:23 am

*grin* Warts are cool. They show character.

5:24 am

hi, back again for my last 8. and to say I think ru brought it up because tomorrow (tody now?) would be the anniversary of NB's "death", and he didn't want anyone to fall for anyone who might show up trying to use it to create more imaginary drama.

5:24 am

byw jwr, thanks for helping out and indeed nice to chat with you. Have a good day at work.

5:24 am

Maybe, warts are cool, but I live in fear of truly being a ne4!

5:24 am

I don't think people need to stop being trusting. I do think they need to learn and be careful. First we had the money scam here and now this. Cautionary tales.

5:24 am

(today now?) I meant

5:25 am

Oh geez..thanks, Mich..i thought i tried that one.

5:25 am

My pleasure zooz

5:25 am

would never get into a money scam. But yeah, misplaced trust, it happens. I hate the idea that NB was fake. But am glad to have seen through JC. Question: the Frank Cleary that surfaced recently, is he also that guy, you think?

5:26 am

ru thinks so, and several more as well.

5:26 am

The general consensus is that Frank Cleary is another fake persona.

5:26 am

In an open forum you are always gonna get crazyness.

5:27 am

It's 3:30 am -- I was taking a break from working on a crisis line. Good grief! I just noticed the sp5 Mich referred to. Ha! Closing out with that one, ty M. Poof.

5:27 am

And people did get into a money scam here and got taken badly.

5:27 am

yep, I know people did and have. Very sad.

5:27 am

I guess the money scam was before my time. What happened, did someone give a fake cry for help?

5:28 am

I can't speak to the validity of the cry for help. But the person who offered to collect money, never sent it to that person. And we are talking a lot of money.

5:28 am

I have to admit, when the drama runs high, I always am a little bit suspicious. Most real people don't need that extreme attention.

5:28 am

How do people live with themselves?

5:29 am

I believe the money was intended for MrPresident but never reached her.

5:29 am

The extreme need for attention should be a big red flag.

5:29 am

Oh, when the neighbor was terrorizing her?

5:29 am

thanks - I had a bit of a JC feeling when chatting with that person(a).

5:30 am

MollyL, what was the money scam? because, I contributed to a couple of appeals. There was one colection for a young woman who lost her fiance, and another for a woman who threatened suicide, but I thought those were genuine?

5:30 am

the lady that lost her fiance was genuine and received the donations. All went well there.

5:31 am

The money scam that I am aware of is when a person, Wildcat, offered to collect money for Mr. President.

5:31 am

Christine, your icon is very apt today, we should all live by it.

5:32 am

And Frank Cleary - was he NB's boyfriend? or am I mixed-up?

5:32 am

I think you are correct.

5:33 am

Oh what a wicked web we weave....

5:33 am

I'll never forgive that evil JC, whoever he may be, for making poor Andree feel so bad about getting her new purebred puppy instead of a rescue animal. what a creep. it ruined Babble for her altogether, I fear.

5:33 am

*sprays tea everywhere*..Wildcat is a fake.

5:34 am

Michnick - is that the THINK poster? I'm still seeing the diacritics poster.

5:34 am

It's the THINK. Great.

5:35 am

I assure y'all that I am as real as they come, by the way. :D

5:35 am

last word, a C6... can I please have a clue for that one?

5:35 am

joint inheritor

5:35 am

you sure feel real to me, rbud :)

5:36 am

thank you Mich, that is fireflies for me

5:36 am

I assure you I am real, but if I don't get off the chog and get some work done my job will not be!

5:37 am

lol, have a good time at work, Michnick.

5:37 am

WTG Spritey!

5:37 am

LOL!! back to the old grind, Mich! :)

5:37 am

Have a good day all!!

5:37 am

Sorry for being dumb..but is there another clue for the C6?

5:37 am

Brilliant, well done Sprite!! Can i have a clue for that c 6 word please?

5:37 am

Take care, Mich.

5:38 am

someone who inherits together with you

5:38 am

Looked back and got it, thank you

5:38 am

nad hi xeiluj!

5:39 am

zooz: co + the **** to the throne = the coronet.

5:39 am

Hi right back at you. Down to 4, struggling now

5:40 am

Ahh..thank you..my brain cell is not working well today..lol

5:40 am

oh, final thing about the JC scam then: let's not forget Fauxmage. She/he/it worked together with JC back in da days.

5:40 am

lol zooz

5:40 am

ah, but she was here tonight apologizing, I hope that was real.

5:41 am

Ru's contention is that Fauxmage is a real person, also taken in by JC. Not sure what I think about that.

5:42 am

Was she now? She almost ate my head when I didn't want to be part of negativeneil's flare against Haz and Jacula.

5:42 am

Yes Sprite, I remember that as I was also taken to task by her. That is why I have my doubts.

5:43 am

I am with you, Molly. Sincere doubts there.

5:43 am

jeez, now I wonder if neil is real... have discussed certain similarities he has in attitude and such with others before.

5:43 am

... might just be another alias! :P

5:44 am

My suggestion is that if you even wonder if someone is real, keep your distance. And for God's sake, don't give them your email address.

5:44 am

indeedydeed, rbud.

5:44 am

Why would you want to hate, Haz & Jacula..have they done something bad then...or maybe best if i just babble really.

5:44 am

and there are certainly enough pics of the real neil out there to borrow...

5:45 am

MollyL thats why i took my email address down.

5:45 am

zooz, hate is never a solution :) And no need to hate either Haz or Jac. Good people.

5:47 am

claims of being famous, either personally as with JC or through a brother like neil, always make me wonder. Most people with public lives are so very busy - they wouldn't be online on babble for so much time.

5:49 am

There is another thing. When vicious attacks start happening against nice people like Haz and Jac, you need to wonder about the person/people doing the attacking.

5:50 am

Actually, we have one babbler who is in a currentl tv series. I know, because he wears a partial hairpiece, made by my former husband (big secret). But he never, ever, lets slip his real name - or at least his 'stage' name.

5:50 am

Few people remember this, but NB was very unkind to Ruby regarding buying a dog vs. adopting one. Red flag number one.

5:51 am

yep and to Andree too. I believe Andree never came back after that.

5:51 am

MollyL are you a ghost or a vampire? Where's your icon picture?

5:51 am

lol Christine. That is funny. For sure no drama queen then.

5:51 am

and like I said, JC attacked poor Andree and even started a website ranting against her when she got her puppy. And she's far too sweet a person to be doing that to.

5:52 am

Aaah, you're famous, and traveling incognito!

5:52 am

I can see, MollyLs icon.

5:52 am

I guess I am infamous and only cognito

5:53 am

let me see... I have rubyfoo and Lucky to vouch that I am real... but then again, I might be them as well.

5:53 am

I'm just cold and in need of another cup of tea..lol

5:54 am

LOL Spritey.

5:54 am

It's probably my bloomin' computer. I've logged out and in, and refreshed, still I have the old icon on my profile.

5:54 am

Hi everybody. I just got the heads up that this topic was being discussed. For the record, I was totally fooled by the whole NB thing. I was dreadfully sorry to learn of his 'death'. I'm still shaking my head in bewilderment that somebody went to such effort to fool people. Did he get pleasure from it? I'm baffled!

5:55 am

*hugs Soodle*

5:55 am

yep, got pleasure from it. As I understand (or actually don't), the whole drama enfolding is like candy to people like that. They eat it up.

5:56 am

Hello, Soodle.

5:57 am

<~~~~~Still shaking head!!!! And hey Sprite & Zooz & Moll et al.

5:58 am

haha..love the 21st birthday cake, Soodles.

5:58 am

hiya Soodle :) I think I'll be off before more people land in the PB because of me ;) Bye all, glad to be more informed but sad about NB being fake. See you all soon.

5:59 am

thats why i kept putting ey on the end , Spritey!

5:59 am

Take care.

5:59 am

drop

5:59 am

you're the smart one, zooz :D

5:59 am

I don't know about that, Spritey..but thanks anyway...lol

6:00 am

prieth

6:00 am

Hello, Kalia.

6:00 am

oops

6:00 am

:-). I must trot off. See you all later

6:00 am

hello

6:00 am

Take care, Soodles.

6:00 am

how are you zoo long time no see

6:01 am

I haven't been chatting for ages

6:01 am

I got taken in with all the NB stuff too

6:01 am

I am ok thank you, Kalia..how are you?

6:01 am

oh I'm fine Zooz, just waiting for the snow to disappear:)

6:02 am

Already gone here ..apart from a few droopy looking snowmen...lol

6:03 am

lol, still a lot around here, though it looks as if it is thawing a bit

6:03 am

I did try prieth..but it did not take..lol

6:03 am

no I know :)

6:04 am

Right.time for a marmite sandwich & a cup of tea..bbl

6:04 am

enjoy

6:05 am

Thanks, Kalia..nice to see you again.

6:07 am

you to Zooz

6:22 am

I can't believe I got jumped on for suggesting that NB wouldn't want to see all the drama that was being generated - in other words, they started a fight with me over suggesting we not fuss and fight! I must have been a serious threat to their desire for drama, lol!

6:24 am

I also got a lot of flack, when I suggested arguing over who was the first to hear of his death, was not the way to honor a friend. JC wrote a really nasty email to me, told me it was not my place to police the chog, I'm not the boss.

6:25 am

twisted, just twisted! :P

6:26 am

hmmm, 3 left now, all 5's. this shouldn't take too long.

6:26 am

2

6:27 am

Before that, JC and his partner kept emailing me to 'friend' them on some site. I told them, I don't do facebook, or whatever, but I received about six emails between them. Just wouldn't let go, nor take NO! for an answer. Felt they were getting a dime for every persson they signed-up.

6:29 am

I just try to avoid interaction of any type with the pushy people, and now to find out that most of them were likely all the same person - it boggles the mind, lol

6:32 am

Think of it this way, don't we prefer to be the scammed, rather than the scammer?

6:33 am

Hello again. That was one of the things that disturbed me about J.C. - all that recruiting of people seemed weird.

6:35 am

Did you get emails? He'd tell me about the house he bought - belonged to Noel Coward or someone famous, the letters he'd received from various 'stars' and things he collected from the famous. Apparently, if the person was known, and gay, that was enough for JC to go after his bathrobe and slippers.

6:36 am

I don't like it when people call others by their real names instead of their babble names, it's just creepy somehow. implying they know more than the rest of us...

6:36 am

No, he never sent me any e-mails, I was on his list of most hated right from the start.

6:36 am

and always trying to be the center of attention, too. :P

6:36 am

I'd not be at all surprised to learn that he was behind the vicious e-mail that was sent to sprite, doctored to look as though it had come from me.

6:37 am

He made a huge song and dance about the whole thing, overreacted to an unbelievable degree.

6:37 am

I'd also be sure that he was behind sending transcripts of babble chat logs to Ata's husband to show what she was saying about him.

6:38 am

Hello everyone:), Haz, I remember the incident with so-called email you sent to sprite. It was so out of character.

6:38 am

I'm not sure what made me 'attractive' to him and his partner; finally, I told them I would NOT join any site, and he dropped the subject. But still he wrote, inviting me to stay, when I visited UK - hey, I have family that I see too rarely to go off with a total stranger when I finally get home.

6:38 am

all the time with the "check your email, check your email" - pushy sh** stirrers!

6:39 am

It was a mercy that Ata was able to contact me to ensure that I hadn't sent any such nonsense to sprite.

6:39 am

Hello, Annie. This is quite a story, isn't it?

6:39 am

I do remember hearing something about the emails to Ata's husband.

6:40 am

Yes, someone, supposedly from Australia, sent the e-mails. It was just a vicious, nasty thing to do.

6:40 am

It is a "wow" story. I felt that NB was putting too much information out about himself. Everyday was another drama but I didn't think he was fiction.

6:41 am

His (NB's) story was pretty dramatic, to say the least.

6:41 am

This calls for coffee, be right back.

6:41 am

I wonder how his death was going to be announced here if Soodle hadn't unwittingly let things slip.

6:44 am

What did Soodle let slip? Rururocks, apparently, checked for death certificates around that time, in UK - young Korean man, on the 20/21/22nd. But, if JC, or whoever is reading this, he'll get his jollies that we're all spending time talking about it.

6:44 am

What stays in my memory is Evanadine asking NB about the shoes she should wear to her wedding. That went on for a few days. She was taken with him and his story, (???)

6:45 am

Soodle let slip that he had died - apparently it was to be embargoed until non-existent Frank could announce that non-existent NancyBoy had died.

6:47 am

probably planned to use the "info" as another way to get people's email addresses, "will only send privately" or some such rot.

6:47 am

I know what you mean, Christine, but in a way it's a relief to be able to talk about it and not feel that you're going to incur the wrath of his fans and followers for ever doubting his validity.

6:48 am

Hi all - just lurking because all this was before my time, but sympathies to any who were taken in by what seems to be a very cruel joke.

6:48 am

so true, Haz - I often closed chat back then because I couldn't stand the way "he" was going on, and picking at folks, etc - and was afraid to even say anything for fear of being pounced upon.

6:49 am

Haz, it must be a relief to the Babblers who were vilified and attacked that th5 attackers were fictitious.

6:49 am

The moral of the story is that you can often trust your gut instinct about people. I do feel sorry for those who were taken in by him. And I know for a fact that he had people reporting back to him, sending him screenshots of the offences.

en7?

6:50 am

en7 - the final chord of a song? Or the last reference in a book

6:50 am

Hello all. How come all this has raised its head again? Seems I've missed something by mostly ignoring the chog for a long time now.

duh! THANK YOU HAZ

6:50 am

Hello, Jacula.

6:50 am

No problem, Sugrr.

6:51 am

hello, Jacula.

6:51 am

Thanks for en7, Haz. I hadn't got that one either. 5 left to find...

I have 6 left

LOL

6:51 am

today is the "anniversary" of NancyBoy's "death", and ruru brought up that he was fictional. It's all in the earlier chog for tonight.

6:52 am

ruru realised that it was coming up to the anniversary of NB's death. He did some sleuthing and reckons NB never existed. Also, Fauxmage who was supposedly close with J.C. admitted earlier that she had been duped and he wasn't who he had claimed to be.

6:52 am

Haz - Ah! So what I suspected IS correct.

6:53 am

rbud - I will check back when I have time.

6:53 am

and ru found pics of some star that had been used as NB's icons

6:53 am

I'm cynical along with ruru about other gay vegan animal rights men who have appeared along the way.

6:53 am

And yes, you were right.

6:53 am

Haz - ditto.

6:54 am

I take no pleasure in being right. The whole thing caused quite a lot of damage.

6:55 am

It did, it divided people greatly, probably his aim.

6:56 am

the atmosphere in here was decidedly uneasy and untrusting at the time.

6:57 am

It was, rbud, you had to watch what you said.

6:57 am

I imagine so, Haz., though I cannot imagine why anyone would want to do such a thing. Too much time on their hands plus a twisted personality, I guess.

6:58 am

Jac, I'm curious. If you suspected this all along, why didn't you say anything? You are usually quite outspoken about such things, which is one of the reasons I like you. : )

6:58 am

Whoever is behind this is possibly a frustrated soap-opera scriptwriter.

6:58 am

Molly - I did say things.

6:58 am

She did speak out, Molly.

6:59 am

Ah sorry, must have missed that.

6:59 am

It reached the point where there were arguments in the chog and nobody was going to be convinced either way. We had no proof and for the sake of peace it was dropped.

7:00 am

Sadly, the internet is rife with examples of people who fool others, even invented whole lives for themselves and fooling others for one reason or another. This saga is just one of them.

7:00 am

True Jac and this is not the first instance of something like this I have seen on message boards and chat forums.

7:01 am

Molly - so agree with what you said earlier about being sooo careful about what you post on the internet.

7:01 am

I actually felt a bit of a heel because I wasn't all that sympathetic towards NancyBoy. I couldn't get away from the fact that he was close with a man who had been incredibly divisive and nasty and yet NB was full of praise for him.

7:04 am

must be worse if you think you're dating the person and loving them...

7:04 am

hursh - Yes, that must be awful.

7:04 am

Hello, hurshy.

7:05 am

hello

7:05 am

I've put things in my profile from time to time about internet imposters. This is one of the reasons why.

7:05 am

7:07 am

No wedding words in this particular grid, hursh.

7:08 am

I should go and make some lunch.

7:08 am

what will you make?

7:08 am

Haz - Changing the subject, I saw what you said about the anti-malaria tablet induced dreams you and your hubby had. Still giggling about them.

7:10 am

Ok looks like my last one is a P6..any clues please?

7:10 am

Reminds me of the time people here got scammed by sending money to one person to help another. Lots of money "disappeared"......

9:21 am

itr did indeed

9:21 am

And then there was the time people sent money to help this lady move from England to Toronto. Once the money was sent, no one ever heard from her again....

9:22 am

"believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see"

I still don't even have half of this silly little grid

9:41 am

{{crossy}}

9:41 am

tough one.

9:41 am

and hello everybody else

9:43 am

yay, half

9:44 am

((ruby and crossy)) I have the flu and just put a dab of vapo-rub inside each nostril. My Pywakit cat came up to me, smelled my finger and looked at me like "get that away from me"---so funny.

9:44 am

'morning, folks - read back about NB. Shameful.

9:44 am

{{mimi}{}

9:44 am

It's funny the way cats always want to smell your hand before they allow you to touch them---just to make sure where you've been!

9:45 am

is that still going on? It started a couple of days ago, but I never got around to reading over the chog.

9:45 am

What is the conclusion? Was NB real or a figment?

9:45 am

i haven't been around much, so i guess i missed the first go-round. as far as it being true or not, i'm inclined to think we were duped (again).

9:46 am

Welki, we must pity people like that since he obviously doesn't have a life. If ignored completely, will probably just go away. But the fake other names are a problem. Can Dr. God block his IP address?

9:46 am

are there really other names that have been identified as NB?

9:46 am

is there a third s6? I have sp6 soda and sp6 sp + lease

9:46 am

oh well, such is the way with the internet. and yes, if that's what folks have to resort to to get attention, they are to be pitied because they must be ill

9:47 am

and do the theorists still think that ruru and I are the same person LOL?

9:47 am

Ruby, it is my understanding there were several names associated with this person.

9:47 am

back to work. later, folks

9:47 am

((welki))

9:48 am

bye welki

9:48 am

Of course, you know smores and I are twin daughters from different mothers---of course, I was the twin who arrived waaayyy earlier than her!

hello all and sorry to hear you are ill, mimi

9:49 am

morning all!

9:49 am

have to go and play with my dog who is running around like a crazy person with a squeaky toy in his mouth

9:49 am

((TO)) Thank you.

9:49 am

how is your errant cat, mimi?

9:49 am

mimi, I love your icon!

9:50 am

{{sue}}

9:50 am

((sue!))

9:50 am

((((mimi and ruby))))

9:50 am

<--passing mimi a hot toddy

9:50 am

(((TO too!)))

9:50 am

No worse for wear, ruby....taking it in stride and back to his crazy ways.

9:50 am

hello TO

9:51 am

Thanks, sue. It's sunset at the North Pole.

9:51 am

he would fit right into this nut house!

interesting reading today. i left the FB babble group becaise of issues with someone and if anyone wonders why i do not accept friend rewuests from babblers, today's chat will say why.

9:51 am

nm found it so6/18

9:51 am

How are you and Frank these days? I haven't been here when you are for awhile.

hello sue and ruby

9:53 am

TO, it's a shame to allow some crazy person to keep you from friendships. I have three from Babble now that I treasure and that enhance my life.

9:53 am

en7 - particular type of citattion

9:54 am

There have only been a couple of people I've been wary of since I started and it's fairly easy to discourage the contact.

oh, mimi, i have made some real friends here as well. but i had no direct contact with this person. another babbler gave him my info, when i was part of the FB babble interest group. that was a malicious act. so now i just suit myself. chat when i want , usually don't, no more fb babble or game requests from babblers.

9:56 am

sorry, TO, I am doing about 6 things at once. Frank and I are doing OK; he is starting to get some side effects from the chemo (mostly skin rash & cracking). I've been putting updates in my profile.

he made a show of threatening me in chat with my real name

9:56 am

hi all

sorry to hear this sue

9:56 am

I guess I'm a relic---I really don't like FB...I have it but only check it once every couple of weeks.

9:57 am

Wow, TO---that's terrible. I'm sure everyone gathered around you for support.

9:57 am

That is really awful, TO, so sorry you had to deal with that! I've made some wonderful friends on Babble and have even visited some of them - Doren was the first!

9:57 am

(Dorens)

9:57 am

i can verify that owl is a real, and (somewhat normal) person. sue, as well. And I'm assuming from the chat that the NB hoax has been verified

hi doren. a nice short one you can do on your ipad

9:58 am

i am home now, owl, so am on the computer. I actually did the 357 with the ipad, but had gotten knocked off ipad as well on friday night so never finished.

well sue, i can usually give as good as i get. but the incident put distance and mistrust where there was none. the mistrust/wariness seems to have been warranted. and now on to toher things!

9:58 am

yes, and sue, as well, is real.

9:58 am

however right now I have to get to work, the freelance projects that went on hold while Frank was really sick absolutely must be one, one by this Friday and one by the end of the month.

9:58 am

Is it just me or are the short ones harder? This one is unfriendly for me.

9:59 am

hoping frank is feeling beetter soon, sue

9:59 am

lol, doren is real too!

9:59 am

Bye, sue---take care and HAGD.

9:59 am

anyway I will be back this evening, I hope.

doren: thanks for the (somewhat ) normal :)

9:59 am

i think i am far less normal than you, for what it's worth!!

hahahaha

9:59 am

Sometimes I might be a little TOO real (?)!!!

10:01 am

I should probably edit myself better but if it's in my head it generally comes out my mouth (or through my fingers).

10:01 am

hello all - back from breakfast break

10:01 am

Hi, teach!

10:02 am

so, it seems that my beloved old cat, Lucy has left my house to die. I am so sad -

Could I get a diiferent clue for en7, please?

oh doren. i am sorry.

10:03 am

Oh, no, Dorens---I'm so sorry. Were you aware of what happened with my Dodger cat Saturday night? He scooted out the door (is a total indoor cat) and I look for him and tried to catch for 5 hours from midnight to 5:00 am. Even had the police looking!

10:03 am

so very sorry, doren :-(

10:04 am

She was recently diagnosed with kidney failure and hyperthyroidism, and needs medication (which she doesn't particularly like).n She left Thursday and never came home. Unfortunately I had to be away for the weekend, but thought she'd come back and my friend has been checking out for her. I still don't know, though. Hoping to find her at the back door so I keep checking, as I did all Thursday night. Just don't know

10:04 am

en7 - last message

10:05 am

sorry Mimi, how old was your dodger cat?

mimi did yo find your cat?

10:05 am

hey Une.

10:05 am

I've cared for and worked with animals all my life and I'm convinced they know more than we do about "the other side." They seem to go to God much more easily than we do. I hope she comes back OK, Dorens....I know how agonizing it must be.

10:06 am

He is 3 now and is doing fine after the ordeal. Back to his feisty self playing with his sister and older brother.

hi une.

10:06 am

All done yeah me!

10:06 am

great news , mimi!

10:06 am

nbt

I have the first 3 letters, its the last four that are driving me craze. Are the last four a word on their own?

10:06 am

yes

yes. no4

10:07 am

oh, i see he did come back... good for you! I've been reading a lot about whether or not cats go elsewhere to die. Interesting, but nothing conclusive.

10:07 am

hello, all -- am watching CNN but wanted to see how eveyone's doing today :-)

10:07 am

Now I can laugh at the fact that I left the door open in case he found his way back so he could come in but kept having to shoo away strays. I started out in my PJ's but got too cold.

10:08 am

totally understandable, mimi!

thanks got it

10:08 am

Especially wild animals tend to go off like that, Dorens. I've seen it many times. They just seem more comfortable with the concept of death than we are....like they have a direct link to God.

10:09 am

mine always die at home

10:09 am

She was an indoor/outdoor cat. Much more indoor the last year or so, but needed to get out from time to time, and always came home. very much into lying on my chest and purring lately

10:09 am

years ago, my mom's old springer did just that -- went off into the woods and never returned

10:10 am

It may sound a little "woo woo" but I believe animals have spirits and I'm convinced the spirit of my beloved German Shepherd sent me the first of my 3 formerly stray cats.....it was like she was saying "My mommy needs love and you need love, so find her and move in".....which he did.

how old is lucy?

10:10 am

Saw a programmne on TV today with a medium doing a reading for a six week old rabbit!! Think I have lost any faith I had in mediums or at least this one!!

10:10 am

I wonder if I'll ever stop looking out the back door for her. She is nearly 18

10:11 am

Yeah, Deeha, that's even a little "out there" for me!

10:11 am

much sympathy for your waiting and watching, doren

10:12 am

thanks une. I'll have to go dig up her picture for my icon later on...

10:12 am

I think sometimes animals who love us want to spare us the pain of seeing them die...but it doesn't work.

there are two sp6's. I have the soda one. Could I get a clue on the other one?

Please?

10:14 am

when the vet said they had to put my first dog down in spite of people telling me not to go I had to go and give him his final cuddle couldnt bear to think he thought we had deserted him

10:14 am

sp6/21 - sp plus what you pay to a landlord.

10:14 am

My cats and my best friend of 43 years are the only ones who have total access to me emotionally...I'm on guard to everyone else due to the pain I've experienced. I'm good at hiding it so people don't know that, but I do.

10:14 am

sp + monthly check to landlord

10:16 am

I've done that many times, Deeha...so painful but cannot abandon them. OK---off this subject---I'm getting sad.

hello haz!

10:17 am

Hello, TO, everyone.

10:17 am

(Haz)

one relaly needs to lookup to finish this grid. lots up words up there

10:17 am

Oh, and (Une).

can anyone raise ru's profil? i can't

10:18 am

<<<mimi>>>

10:18 am

Am totally tired of this unfriendly grid...going to steam my sinuses again and drink more OJ. HAGD, all and hugs all around!

10:18 am

No, his profile can only be seen when he's logged in.

10:18 am

Know what you mean Mimi but feeling better because I am trying to play this with a cat walking up and down my keyboard-not

10:18 am

bye, mimi!

aha. i was getting the heebie jeebies

10:18 am

oops - easy the cat di....................................\n......................................\n...3

10:19 am

Was X-files music playing in your head, TO?

tell the cat the d is not next to the i today :0

10:19 am

I(f she ndoesnt listen to me dont think she will listen to you!!

haz: let us not spculate on what is in my head at any time. :)

10:20 am

I saw that Dorens complimented you on being somewhat normal.

10:21 am

back after swearing in -- byeee *poof*

but i would take david duchcovny. or i would have , before he was revealed as a skank

10:22 am

I never really got into X-files but the music was suitably scary and odd.

well yes. she knows i know where she lives ;)

10:24 am

hey owl, you were looking for ru's profile? this is probably what was there http://www.squidoo.com/jun-matsumoto

10:24 am

the proof about the nb scandal??

ty. yes. just curious.

10:25 am

hello haz.. I suppose you've already seen that??

10:26 am

Hello, Dorens - no, hadn't looked until now. It's all very odd, isn't it?

10:28 am

I'm sorry about your cat. Not knowing must be torment.

10:28 am

not odd at all. I suspected NB a long time ago (even while "alive"), but when I mentioned it to folks, they were aghast. So I ended up not discussing my view, but Ru and I had conversations about it years ago Glad he has "outed" JC, who was a nasty person.

very nasty. poor you, and herein, and soodle

and ata

10:30 am

thanks, haz, yes, somewhat tormenting.I had been expecting her to pass sometime now, but not knowing is..

hmm, how do we fix chat?

10:31 am

I hope that you find Lucy, one way or another, Dorens.

10:31 am

I think chat has been widened because of the cat walking across someone's keyboard. Do we just keep typing and hope it corrects itself?

deeha's kitty broke it :)

10:32 am

remember when andré got a new dog and JC just lit into her viciously. He detested me after I told him to back off, and NB never even said hello back to me when I said hi. that plus is high falutin' way of speaking which was so much like JC, + his professional pics, + his getting the $$ for his Korean trip when he was destitute.

10:33 am

yes, it will right itself eventually,

i do. wondering how ru put the pieces together.

10:34 am

I remember the dog incident very well and the ridiculous reaction from J.C. I didn't communicate much with NB because he was so associated with J.C. NB's life story was pretty dramatic and at times I wanted to say 'Don't be ridiculous, why go all the way to Korea just to prove you're alive and that your father's a liar'

gee i needed 3 words for 2o min

10:35 am

I'm just glad ru did his detective work, because it was sad to see so many people go on and on about how special nb was.

one alter ego still shows up here

10:36 am

So what kind of person perpetuates this sort of thing?

10:36 am

which one? frank cleary was here recently and ru interrogated him. he disappeared then

10:36 am

a very very sick one ? A narcissist with twisted mind

a woman i cannot remember her name

10:37 am

Do you mean Fauxmage, TO?

i one besides her.

10:37 am

She was on this morning and confessed that she had been totally taken in as well. She thought NB was real but has since found out that he was made up.

10:37 am

he is intelligent, i'll give him that. he'll probably have his next alter egos a little harder to figure out, better disguises

fauxmage. faux image.

10:38 am

He's highly intelligent, extremely articulate but narcissistic in refusing to ever be wrong.

know what? i thnk i have just wasted 15 min of my lifetha i will never get back

10:39 am

fauxmage was laura, a friend of jc's who was on at the same time as him. not sure about her. But i think she is one of those who made a big fuss about how "NB's death" was let out. THey were upset with stid for telling us, since it should have been "Frank" to tell us. absurd

10:40 am

Yes, she came on this morning to reiterate that she had been taken in as well, apologising for being rude to people and saying that she thought she had been defending abused friends.

fauxmage always made me think of fromage.

10:40 am

hmmm-- jury's still out on her in my book

10:42 am

Time will tell, I suppose. Just don't give your e-mail address to any Tom, Dick or Harry just because they're on babble and claim to be nice.

i think i reacted to someone;s doing that very oddly last week , was thinking of this.

10:43 am

good advice haz. . i'm off now. will be back later

10:43 am

Bye for now, Dorens, good to talk to you.

later, doren.

so haz, watching the inauguration here.

10:44 am

Ah, the chat log has corrected itself.

10:44 am

Of course, I knew it was happening, just not sure of the times.

10:45 am

They were speculating that there would be fewer people around than for the first.

i still need three!!! yes, but still a lot. cosdem is there

10:46 am

I know, he's certainly made an effort to get there.

10:46 am

Which three are you missing or do you want to do it alone?

yes and he popped on last night, i was surprised! bit then again babbling is a good pastime if one is stuck in hotel

missing all 4 letter words. i will hunt a little more.

10:47 am

NBT! 13 left!

Enjoy communing with your new printer, TO. Bye!

11:00 am

Thank you! Lovely day out, delicious food and good conversations.

11:00 am

nm...

11:02 am

And internet issues continue....

11:02 am

So frustrating for you.

11:03 am

Not sure if it router or what..have a 'G' router..and am about 15 feet from it. Not sure if a 'N" router will help, may have to contact Dell on this...oh well

11:04 am

You've tried giving it a stern talking to?

11:04 am

I once waved an uninstall disc in front of a printer and it seemed to do the trick.

11:04 am

Threatened with launching out window...LOL

11:04 am

excuse me can anyone tell me how many words today? ty

11:05 am

10 to go..

11:05 am

I had visions of the printer producing a sheet with 'SORRY' on it.

11:05 am

52 words today.

11:05 am

thank you

11:05 am

You're welcome, sss.

11:06 am

A written apology is always appropriate!

11:07 am

Absolutely! Printers just seem to be temperamental beings. They huff for no reason.

11:08 am

Whenever I need to scan a document, I have to reinstall the printer...sigh...may try your approach!

11:08 am

Anyway, I'll have a huffy husband if I don't get something started for his evening meal. Enjoy the grid and hope you get your router sorted out. Bye!

11:09 am

<----FW!

11:25 am

52 words.. no thanks

11:25 am

Jill, I think contacting Dell is your best bet. Advice from people on line is well meaning, but not always correct.

How can you tell snail tracks from slug tracks? While your typical garden slug leaves a continuous trail of slime in its wake, snails leaves more of a dotted line, since they move forward in an up-and-down fashion, kind of like an inchworm.

12:47 pm

Very cool! i had no idea!

12:50 pm

12:50 pm

what is cool is someone out there somewhere studied both long enough to determine this

Hi folks. Just popping in on my way home from work (I do overnights) and noticed there was still some discussion on Jesse. The original info came from Ruru who said he had evidence and would share it off the chog. So if you know how to get hold of him (I think a profile is available when he is online only), that may answer some questions.

1:38 pm

I have 1 left - help please - it is a c6

1:41 pm

never mind - monkeyed it - going to take a nap now.

in a good way. :)

2:44 pm

Hi all.

2:44 pm

yup,he does not smoke,drink or do drugs has a gf who is sharper upstairs than him to keep an eye on him,so i think it will be ok

2:45 pm

We are enjoying our empty nest a lot.

2:45 pm

:) but, according to an article I read, a male should not marry before the age of 28 and 25 for a female.

2:46 pm

you must have done everything right and I am sure he will appreciate that.

2:46 pm

hi wht.

2:46 pm

I'm a newbie here and I need 3 words to get my first FW they are re5/10,so5/10, and sp5/12 (not related to plants). Any clues?

2:46 pm

most men are pretty useless til at least 26 in my book.

2:47 pm

lol dc

2:47 pm

sp5.12 is how mushrooms reproduce

2:47 pm

2:47 pm

2:48 pm

Hi, RJ

2:48 pm

Oh, thanks, jmc...My brain's too fuzzy with it right now to ask a question, but I'll keep you in mind!

4:22 pm

jmc, I have tried to put my spice rack up for you to see; but it seems my ability to figure out where my iPhoto program went and why I can't get a single picture into my computer these days only makes me swear. :-( (I do love your spice rack though!

4:23 pm

Jellen, I have friends in our womens' studies program here, so I could also ask them if you would like

4:23 pm

you can email me at gmail with my babble name. . i am actually staying with her in Texas starting Weds. for a friends wedding

well a blow out is less than a cut, but if someone does not need to wask often, it works. my hair needs maintenance once a month for clor and grows so fast that six weeks for a cut is pushing it.

and it is long now and i think it overwhelms my face.

5:01 pm

I see the new pic jmc. It looks lovely!

5:02 pm

Well, I should return to the reading. My kindle says I have 2 hours and 32 minutes left in this chapter, and there are three I must read...

byejellen

if you are still here please give cos my best.

5:17 pm

8 left and they seem to be invisible now

nef still here?i wandered off.

5:30 pm

It's okay, TO. I'm going to finish this before I fix supper.

5:30 pm

(3 left; and just listed)

then you are ok? I would only clue for someone i knew at this point. gto reudeness in return yesterday. doesn't hurt just annoys so i don't

5:32 pm

DUH!! I couldn't find that th 5 til I listed!

5:33 pm

I'm okay, TO. I take it you finished already?

5:33 pm

I listed at 8 and had a few duh moments myself, nef!

5:35 pm

LOL! I only have 2 re's left now. Thanks, sue. I needed that encouragement! :-)

5:36 pm

the re's are all pretty normal words, nef

5:36 pm

Good morning - go Nef!!!!

5:36 pm

hi liz!

5:36 pm

Hi Lizlin. How are you today?

5:37 pm

Hi Sue, Nef and TO - fine thanks - another beautiful day here. So much better than the snow back in London!!!!

5:37 pm

Hope you've all had / are having a good day :)

yes to nef and hi so liz and re-hi to sue

5:40 pm

:-)

5:40 pm

I'm just trying to imagine I'm in a warmer place today, Lizlin. I wanted to stay inside all day; but DH had therapy and we needed to get some birdseed...

5:40 pm

ok day here, holiday so I've been relaxing a bit - almost done with my first big freelance job, and the other one will go quickly

5:40 pm

YAY, TO! WTG!!!

i am done and going to cook dinner now. sue, doren svouched that we'e real and relatively normal. whoo-hoo! ;)

5:41 pm

yay, TO!

5:41 pm

dunno about the normal part, though :-)

5:41 pm

Sometimes I try to remember what it felt like going out first thing and scraping ice off my windscreen before going to work - then i come to by senses!!!!

5:41 pm

hi folks

5:41 pm

yay, TO (but I never doubted that....)

5:41 pm

congrats TO :)

hi welk

5:41 pm

Hi welki :)

5:42 pm

nef, we have absolutely no snow on the ground here, our weather guy said that if we had snow it would be 10-15 degrees colder than it is

5:42 pm

hi welki.

5:42 pm

hi welki!

hey welk

5:42 pm

Most of us are real - But still, as Molly wrote yesterday (or today in your terms) you do still need to be very careful about what you post on the internet.

5:43 pm

i think i'm real. *pinch* i am!

5:43 pm

I can vouch for the reality of nef too :-)

*sneaks up behind wlk and pinches*

5:44 pm

thank you, sue.

5:44 pm

woot!

5:44 pm

I think I'm real, therefore I know I'm real!!!!!! Whatever!!!! Don't pinch too hard - it hurts!!!

well do i know that. my work made me very very careful, it would have been irresponsible and instant ground for dismissal

5:45 pm

Fireworks finally. I was sure I'd entered that word a long time ago; must have mis-typed....

5:45 pm

yay nef!

yay nef!

5:45 pm

Absolutely TO - but I guess it's mostly kids I feel sorry for - their openness on fb is ridiculously scary! Most of them ex-pupils of mine!

5:46 pm

Congrats Nef :)

well someone at my old job wrote on FB about her superisor and coworkers who she friended dimes her out.nothing happened to her.

5:46 pm

my ex-students are in college (or recent graduates) and I agree, it's scary to see some of the things they post

5:47 pm

Scary - my oldest ex pupils are now in their 40s!

they sent her over to my area and i was her team leader. contributed greatly to my retirement

5:47 pm

I taught an "intro to college" class a year or two ago and went to my students' facebook pages and showed them (anonymously) things they might not want people to know

5:48 pm

prospective employers, that is

5:48 pm

When I was teaching in primary, cyber bullying was becoming a huge issue.

5:48 pm

I had to tell a cousin (in her 50's, for gosh sake!) that she should take her very personal info off FB when she first joined. I don't remember if she had her addy or her phone number; but she lives here in Minneapolis and should have known better!

the world has changed but sometimes it does not change quickly enough. at our place, the folks who most resembled those in power werethe rising stars.

5:49 pm

Kids don't think ahead to what employers might see - photos and postings! They don't realise that everything leaves a trace on the internet.

heck we have had cyber bullying on this site.

5:50 pm

one of them couldn't understand what was wrong with saying she was glad she didn't have any classes before noon, sigh (I know there are a lot worse things one could post, but still...)

5:50 pm

Yes, I know - I didn't mean to bring that up. It's sad that adults get caught up but kids have no defence. I don't mean to sound unsympathetic - from what I read here, a lot of people were really hurt here.

5:50 pm

TO, I missed that you'd retired. Congrats! :-)

5:51 pm

Love retirement (I took it early) and would recommend it to all!

thank you , nef. i have only in rare forgetful moments put personal stuff out here. for reasons discussed earlier re malicious actions runk amok here.

5:52 pm

I'm sorry to hear that TO

5:52 pm

Is your retirement recent TO? If so, many congrats and I hope you love it as much as I don.

5:52 pm

do!!!!

it is ok. it was good. i had come to rely on this site too much. thanks liz, six months still finding my way

5:54 pm

<--- looking forward to enjoying my own retirement

5:54 pm

It's actually so easy to forget about not being too personal, when you chat away as if you were in the same room!

yes. but the community was a lot smaller and wuite different when I began.

5:54 pm

owl, you retired?

5:54 pm

Lizlin; about the time I was finally getting my head around the idea that I WAS retired; I went to a board of nursing meeting and realized I missed being involved. Then the same week the ED from my old job asked me if I could come back as Nurse Manager and oversee the program. Which led to my working 40+ hours a week for 4 months.... (I'm not good at this retirement stuff)

5:55 pm

lol, nef, that's about what happened to me, except I didn't even have time to get used to being retired!

5:55 pm

Well, I suppose mine came with the move to a new country - get such enjoyment out of walking on the beach and really just being in a totally new environment.

yes.

5:56 pm

where did you move from, liz?

wow liz

5:56 pm

I really don't miss teaching - well, I miss the kids and the staff room chat, but not all the other c**p that the UK government was imposing - like many over governments and in many other professions!

5:56 pm

London, Sue.

ok, i want to finish up that printer setup. I CAN DO THIS!

5:57 pm

TO, I have always thought of you as a youngster. Did not realize you were old enough to retire. Good for you.

5:57 pm

ah, I think I remember that, liz

5:57 pm

Yes, you can TO :)

5:57 pm

and go, TO! Don't let the machines win! :-)

SEE THIS IS THE OTHER REASON LOL

5:57 pm

hi Molly!

5:57 pm

Well, Sue, what happened is I had a hip replacement last year and was also caring for DH's dear Aunty who was dying of heart failure. Then I'm executor of her estate (which isn't much; but it took a while) and then all her stuff coming here after she died (remember the fire?) Etc. etc., etc...

we do not have social security so am not bound to 66 as retirement age.

5:58 pm

I do remember all that (well, not all the details but that you had a lot going on)

yes. nef, i remember that.

5:59 pm

what do you mean, you don't have SS?

5:59 pm

<-- is on the Freedom 95 plan

5:59 pm

so I was starting to feel almost retired in August.

separate pension system for public employees. pay medicare though.

min age for retirement is 50.

6:00 pm

same here, welki, no social security (at least not much, get a little from before I worked for Illinois)

6:00 pm

sounds strange - i worked in municipal govt in the states and contributed to ss - in any case, i'm happy you've retired!!

for teachers i think it is 55. more and more folks taking it

waht is freedom 95?

6:01 pm

it means i'll be able to retire when i'm 95 - dirt nap

oh, welki. oh dear.

6:01 pm

could I have help with re5 12?

6:02 pm

Interesting news my hubby just read from UK news site. A message in a bottle washed up in New Zealand 76 years later! They found the grandson of the guy who wrote the message!

6:02 pm

no worries - wouldn't know how to not work, i'm an old plough horse

another reason i don't say. one woman once screamed at me for saying that when asked what i did for a living

6:02 pm

three's company - would be a re5/12

6:02 pm

re 5 /12 - when movies are repeated!

6:03 pm

Our nursing union had what we called the Rule of 85; we could retire and collect our pensions after our age and work time in the pension equalled 85. I think I made it to 89 when I had to retire from hospital nursing

6:03 pm

oops sorry, got that I mean re5,10

ok now, going to make dinner, happy babbling to all

6:03 pm

we have the 85 factor here, too - again, municipal govt, but alberta

6:03 pm

add a vowel to the re4/4, tessa

6:03 pm

think re 4 / 4 - to lease but add a vowel

6:03 pm

Bye TO :)

6:04 pm

rentu

6:04 pm

provincial is 85 factor too, i think

6:04 pm

use the upper t, tessa

6:04 pm

Go up!!!! but not in the chog!

6:05 pm

ah, so I was at 85 (age + years) when I retired, now I don't feel so bad :-)

6:05 pm

Thank you so much!! Fireworks!!

6:05 pm

Congrats Tessa :)

6:05 pm

yay tessa!

6:05 pm

And I need to go fix supper too. Happy Babbling All!

6:05 pm

bye nef!

6:05 pm

Bye Nef :)

6:05 pm

later, nef (and owl, if you're not already gone)

6:06 pm

Time to get my day started properly (who says chat's not a proper way to start the day) - enjoy your evenings. BBL :)

6:06 pm

bye, liz!

6:06 pm

might as well skedaddle too for a while - bye for now

6:06 pm

Hate what the chat's doing to my punctuation!!!!

6:06 pm

bye welki!

6:09 pm

It is a right winter's evening here in the great Northwest. We have had no sun for at least a week. The inversion has kept the fog in and fireplaces not legal. So we are looking forward to tomorrow which promises to be windy.

6:54 pm

keep going with the tu theme, add single ending and plural. Then change direction for the last three tu words. Again, use the endings.

6:55 pm

Time to fix some coleslaw so will sign off here. Best wishes.

8:06 pm

8:06 pm

Hello smoers, did you sleep well last night...and how is Dodger?

8:07 pm

wind chill minus 20 here as well

8:07 pm

Wind chill here tonight i think is about 15F, actual low about 20F.

8:08 pm

Poor cold crossy...

8:09 pm

lol...I barely slept, oldest daughter and her friend were up giggle all night. Dodger is Mimi's cat

8:09 pm

It's never warm where crossy lives, he's used to it :)

8:09 pm

It's been sunny here, somewhat inversion, but more sun this winter than ever before.

8:09 pm

I'm not!! :)

8:09 pm

Ouch...my bad...

8:09 pm

No problem :)

8:10 pm

Somewhat glad I did not have girls. The giggling would do me in...

8:10 pm

help please, re 5/12

8:10 pm

yeah...they were quite loud last night

8:11 pm

Of course, one slumber party was particularily memorable. Boys were trying to pull the trick of shaving cream on one of the sleeping boys...only they replaced the shaving cream with chocolat sauce...egads!!

8:11 pm

The TV shows we have in the summer snags...

8:11 pm

play it again, snags

8:12 pm

lol

8:12 pm

nm found it

8:13 pm

And the other memorable one was hubby taking them out for pizza. Everyone got sick. Finally, after being up all night with vomiting pre=teens, at 6 AM, I began calling parents to pick their charges up....

8:14 pm

So, on second thought, giggling isn't all that bad...

8:14 pm

Hey dc, how are you doing?

8:15 pm

Sorry dcseain got distracted for a bit. Anyway, I am getting a new car. Should I get a car with 15" tires and rims or 16"?

8:15 pm

lol...yuck

8:15 pm

Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.

8:16 pm

I'm pretty used to it, either her friend is here on the weekend or my daughter is at her house.

8:17 pm

FW!!!

8:17 pm

WooT WooT WooT smores!!

8:18 pm

Congratulations smores on your fireworks display! Hooray!

8:18 pm

8:19 pm

8:20 pm

Bye smores

8:20 pm

Goodbye smores! I'll see you tomorrow in the chog maybe.

8:20 pm

Have a wonderful evening all...maybe see ya at flip :)

8:20 pm

Minv, love your icon, the hug story and the clue story. How are you doing?

8:22 pm

Thank you Jillyjill.Hope the story helped.I am doing ok.

8:23 pm

15 or 16 inch is matter of preference, i''d opt for the larger, but that's me.

8:23 pm

hello dc, how are you? leg gettiing better?

8:24 pm

I'd think getting a new car would be fun, but it isn't! So many decisions to make. Do I want this or that with the car?Do I get the basic model or the premium model?Do I pay this much a month or that much each month?

8:25 pm

Min, get what you want.......... Hubby just bought a new honda crv with all the toys and whistles

8:25 pm

What about in terms of car safety dcseain? Is it worth it to spend the extra money for 16"? Car dealer said it would be $1200 extra to get 16" tires instead of the a5" tires & rims.

8:25 pm

whew.. glad you're talking about tires

8:26 pm

My sister just bought a new Honda CRV but without all the bells and whistles. I am getting the Subaru Impreza though

8:26 pm

Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid

8:26 pm

LOL rururocks! The most boring conversation to come in on

8:28 pm

this conversation isn't a retread is it?

8:28 pm

One would think with such a little grid that the chog might be more stimulating

8:28 pm

No ruru, just lots of rubber discussion

8:28 pm

I've been stimulated enough lately jilly.. thanks

8:29 pm

lol........... you all are funny

8:30 pm

Sure it is a retread ... just look at the participants.

8:30 pm

♫ The wheels on minv's car goes round and round and round, round and round...♫

8:30 pm

Hi BabbleRabble! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

8:30 pm

Oh ruru, do tell!!

8:31 pm

Hello BR, how are you? Is it cold there?

8:31 pm

Right now those wheels are NOT going round and round.My dead Subaru Forester is still sitting in the driveway dead as a doornail.

8:32 pm

hi, folks

8:32 pm

Fair -10°F -23°C

8:32 pm

When do you get your new car?

8:32 pm

I am done! I have fireworks! co 6/24 word was my last one

8:32 pm

that's kind of a rude comment BR.. i hope it was a joke

8:33 pm

Hi there welki!How are you doing?Welcome to the chat log

8:33 pm

We haven't gone below zero yet this year, and have seen more sunshine than I ever remember

8:33 pm

Hi there welki!

8:33 pm

Hopefully I will get the new car on Saturday if all goes well

8:33 pm

here

8:33 pm

Yay! What color?

8:33 pm

min, go for the bigger wheels/rims - they look better, safety differences are minimal (talk to a tire guy)

8:33 pm

is hopeful all goes well

8:33 pm

Hi again snags

8:33 pm

No joke.

8:34 pm

hi jilly

8:34 pm

I do not really care about looks, but I DO care about safety

8:34 pm

disclaimer: welki's tire philosophy is based solely on, 'go big or go home'

8:34 pm

*waves*

8:34 pm

i have winter tires on their own rims - same size as my summer tires

8:34 pm

That is a good idea to talk to a tire person.I will call Mavis.

8:35 pm

Hi cosdem! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid.

8:35 pm

(((Cos))) how is our celebrity? Tell us all about it!!

8:35 pm

i thought mavis was a typing person (mavis beacon)

8:35 pm

maybe someone is inflated too much around here

8:35 pm

well another bad day

8:36 pm

How was the inauguration today? I bet it was FREEZING!!!!

8:36 pm

10:44 pm

hey bernice!

10:44 pm

Hi, I've been here all day, in and out

10:45 pm

Trying to get my last word

10:45 pm

This grid is very doable. With your babble talent you could do it listless stidmama, but if you do not have time, use list

10:45 pm

min, I had a GOOD day -- slept "in" for a change, made it almost to 8 in the morning! LOL drove out three times, twice in one direction (picking up kid's trombone and going shopping later) and once in the other (spent two hours at the school getting ready for tomorrow -- with Tom's amazing tech help!).

10:45 pm

I am down to 37, but I don't think I will go listless tonight min... I am pretty tired.

10:47 pm

new profile pic!

10:48 pm

nice, cos! how are you this evening? did you have a MOST EXCELLENT day today? (inquiring minds want to know)

10:48 pm

METRO broke down while I was on it. packed like sardines.. so i missed it all.

10:48 pm

I had a breather breathing on my face for a hour and his breath stunk like hell

10:48 pm

got that co 6, thanks min -- down to 23 now.

10:49 pm

Well then Lickety does have his list up today. I also have a story in my profile if you need to use it later on stidmama.

10:49 pm

what a darn shame, cos!

10:49 pm

thanks min

10:50 pm

On big event days, there are always breakdowns and delays. One 4th of July, a friend and i got separated from the rest of our party, sat on the platform and played gin for a while, about 45 min later got on a train, and were only two trains behind the rest of our party arriving at destination.

He put his butt on my hand ansd grinded it for a hour and I couldnt move it. The metro was packed If I had turned around my nose would have been pressed against the window

11:51 pm

well it was good that she was prepared i guess

11:51 pm

11:52 pm
