was going to do some errands today but when I got to my car was not sure I could get it. when I removed the snow from my car the other day I did not clean the street around my car :(

9:19 am

I could probably get out but not sure I could get back it providing the space was still available. will be warmer tomorrow and the snow will be softer to shovel or it will melt

9:19 am

the errands can wait another day

how much snow did you get?

9:19 am

about 6-7 inches I think

9:20 am

it was soft snow and I should have shoveled the street

9:20 am

around my car

well, be careful out there, whatever you decide.

9:21 am

I will

9:22 am

exactly halfway and stuck

stuck on 9 left here

ooh, maybe not stuck - 8 left

9:29 am

9:29 am

well done indeed

9:30 am

3 of them are 6s, so that's just great

9:31 am

I just found an odd DE 6/27: to take the curls out

of course it has a more sciency meaning

9:33 am

I used to straighten my hair in the 80's to look like all the other preppy girls. <sigh>

that's funny, I did the opposite in the 80s

all the girls did pe4s that I knew

and tall bangs!

9:34 am

Oh, once I hit high school and was cheerleading, it was aquanet and poof all the way!

my hair was super straight back then but now it's very, very wavy in the back

1:39 pm

*that was supposed to be headed ntpn

1:40 pm

actress? mmmm.....

1:42 pm

nan - hi6 i wasn't able to get it from the definition, so maybe this will help. a casual greeting to Mr. X with an extra vowel thrown in the middle for good measure

1:42 pm

old time -- WWII

1:43 pm

and ro6/27 - lassoed, again with a (different) vowel thrown in the middle

1:44 pm

found the hi 6, ty

1:45 pm

Thanks welki and nan. I had the ro 6 but now confused about who is Mr. X? Or is Mr. X and actress?

1:45 pm

no -- do you two want the actress's name?

1:46 pm

(mr. x - 60's civil rights activist)

1:46 pm

the only name i can see, nan, is similar to ms. oberon

1:46 pm

Hedy Lamarr

1:46 pm

1:47 pm

he actress was the ntpn

1:47 pm

what's an 'ntpn' mean?

1:48 pm

1:48 pm

Oh! Just learned something new. Thanks, Nan!

1:49 pm

so, ntpn -- agatha christie's sleuth

1:51 pm

can't find anything that means to lasso something - rope isn't there

1:52 pm

nan, do you have the ro6/30, to have put a type of makeup on? Change the 4th letter to a different consonant.

1:53 pm

no, but if you put a vowel in the mix, you'll have the word

1:54 pm

it is the again that it throwing me off -- the word is ro not re

3:35 pm

It is not my place to interfere in your life, but I hope you change your mind. We all care about you here.. that's for sure.

3:36 pm

I went to the top of a cliff here and i am scared of heights but thought 5 seconds later and it would not matter. Took loads of tabslets and before I knew it I had passed out and was in hospital. To say I groaned loudly was an undestatmenr haha1

3:37 pm

Xoom, please contact some help. We care about you and we don't want to lose you.

3:37 pm

wow. zooz.. I'm so sorry you feel this way

3:38 pm

I know you do, My friend and others here too. But I just don't want this amymore. Thanls for always having the kindness to at least talk to me about it too, Ruru. Not easy to talk to someone whio does not want to be here anymore. So thank you.

3:39 pm

Is it possible to make changes in your life and drop some of your responsibilities with your parents and focus on yourself and what's best for you?

3:40 pm

Zoom, I won't pretend to know your pain. Or the darkness you feel. But I will have some faith for you, even though it seems like you have none at the moment.

3:40 pm

Zooz! Please get some help. It might seem awful right now but it can get better. Loads of people care for you here!

3:40 pm

Thanks, Molly. You have had some stick over the years here. Some may I were justifiable but I know you have a good heart inside.❤️

3:42 pm

zoozoom, you know how much I care about you - I am sorry you are in such a dark frame of mind again. You saw it through before, and I KNOW you can do it again

3:42 pm

Please stay with us! YOU are so imporant

3:43 pm

See Zoom, look at all the positive energy being sent your way. Please feel that.

3:44 pm

Obviously none of us know the pain you feel, zooz, but oh,,, the pain we all will feel if we lose you! Please stay.

3:49 pm

This babble community is the best place I have ever been too for a chat and have a laugh. Please do not be upset I know I ma feeling down but my life is well to be fair not much of a life so for me This would be nice for it to end. I do get help from so called professional peeple but it does not help for some reason. Please please do not be upset that is the last thing I want people to feel. I am just a person you knew on babble. I still class you all as wonderful bunch of friends I wished I had in real life instead of having none lol. I am going to go to sleep now as the tablets are still mucking my head up A bit. Please believe me when I say this but I reallly do and did enjoy all of your company so much you would not believe. Once again a i am so sorry to be keep btinging the convo down to a sad dark level. Goodnight for now friends

3:54 pm

Zoom, listen to that part of you that wasn't ready on the cliff. It is your best self. The self that can see a way beyond this. Please call your local emergency number for some help. Sending positive vibes your way. I hope they find their way through your darkness.

"so-called professional people" really are professional people nd can help. Many people put scare quotes, but it is worth seeking out someone(s) who are experienced with this.

4:04 pm

Zoom, Call SPIIOW at 667 247 or the Samaritans at 116 123. These are not professionals but volunteers that can help you.

4:05 pm

zooz is off line now wht

4:07 pm

That sucks. Does anyone know a name or any contact information about him. I just got the numbers I gave by googling Isle of Wight suicide prevention. Boston, MA is a bit far a way to feel able to help.

4:12 pm

it's not a fair life for some people. It is a drag his family had not supported him and helped him with caring for his parents. I knew he was recently depressed, but really hoped it wouldn't have gone this far for him. He's such a good person.

4:13 pm

The last time this happened I googled the isle of wight police and they went and did a wellness check on him - I wonder if that could work again?

4:14 pm

check where trif? how did you find him?

Wellness checks and hot lines are not continuous care

4:14 pm

I am trying to remember....I emailed the police, then I think they came on here, and then I can't remember what happened next. Dr. God maybe had to get involved?

4:14 pm

he is in care, kaplan.

Oh, well I hope his caretakers know what is going on. I don't know him on that level so I don't know the nature of the problem or his record.

4:17 pm

im going to contact the isle of wight police again. It's all I can do from here, as Wht so wisely noted.

4:18 pm

Trif, great. Perhaps they have a record of the previous incident so that they can connect zoozzoom to something more meaningful for them. Thank you.

4:20 pm

I am so sad to see how much zooz is struggling right now and I do hope you can get a wellness check for him. They might be able to hospitalize him and take the pressure off until his brain chemistry balances out again. He is SUCH a good person and always positive. We all need him in the world.

4:26 pm

I have emailed Dr. God about this. He will be able to give authorities Zoom's IP address and that will help the find him.

4:26 pm

Good thought, Molly. Thanks for helping.

4:27 pm

Oh my goodness, just got back on and saw what's happening with Zoozzoom. My heart goes out to you! Please, hang on until things can get better. It will happen. I know you're offline, but I'm writing with my intentions for you, to get them out in the universe, for you, for God, for the earth Mother to ease your pain. Thanks Babblers who are acting to help him by contacting authorities.

4:27 pm

emailed the police

4:28 pm

Thanks Trif.

4:28 pm

This is why babble is such a good place. We don’t really know each other generally, but we care about each other. I hope Zooz is able to get through this. Thanks to everyone for being so caring.

4:28 pm

Zoom is not showing up online anymore. Those of you who pray, offer some up. For those of you who don't, good thoughts are as good as prayer.

4:28 pm

I am praying it helps.

4:29 pm

I did say in the email that they helped him before, and please to check their database, and gave them all the info I had for poor zooz

4:33 pm

hold on zooz, please hold on....

4:38 pm

does anyone know FB better than I seem to? I tried searching the babble community page to see if zooz had ever entered his real name, but I'm not 100% sure how to di it. Of course, he may never have posted there, but it was a chance

4:39 pm

he wasn't part of the facebook community trif

4:39 pm

oh man. thanks

4:43 pm

i do know his real name. just his first name. Mike.

4:43 pm

I just came on and saw the posts from and about zooz, poor guy. The only positive thing I can think of is that I've read that most people who survive suicide attempts don't try a second time, and he says he tried a few days ago and wound up in the hospital. Also it sounds like he's crying out for help, and maybe that means that deep down inside he wants to recover. Let's hope, anyway.

4:44 pm

thank you, grannyrose

4:44 pm

aha Michael Smith. also uses LOvemusic Always. just as i have typed it.

4:44 pm

I found a Flickr account with zoozzoom, Michael first name

4:44 pm

THANK YOU!!!!

4:46 pm

no lacking for resourcefulness in this group

4:46 pm

no. thank-you Trif. if i didn't have a gp appointment i'd help you more. i hope you are in time.

4:47 pm

I let the police know

4:47 pm

I hope the police are checking their email!

4:48 pm

I seldom come out of lurk mode, but I am bawling now. I have never had a "conversation" with Zooz, but I am just sickened by his posts today. He seems like such a genuinely kind man. We need MORE of him in this world, not less. Sending out all the prayers and positive vibes I can muster. I am heartsick

4:49 pm

I have heard from Dr. God and asked him to call the Isle of Wight Police with any information he has for Zoom. Hope that happens.

4:49 pm

thank you Molly

4:49 pm

the police just called me

4:50 pm

they are asking me when the last time he did this was - does anyone remember?

4:51 pm

zooz himself says a few days ago, and he was hospitalised then. there can't be that many hospitals.

4:51 pm

there are over 500 michael smiths on the isle

4:52 pm

I think it has been several years, but that's all I can offer. Poor, dear man. He's the kind of person I would love to have as a neighbor and/or friend...

4:52 pm

me too

4:52 pm

Prayers for Zooz - and grateful prayers for all of you who are helping and trying to help. Bless you all.

4:53 pm

OK, I just did some math and some googling and even with a common name like Michael Smith the population of the Isle of Wight is so small that there should be approximately 15 people with that name. So I hope the police can find him! Having an IP address should really help.

4:53 pm

It was more than 4 years ago because that was when I retired and I remember this playing out while I was at work.

4:54 pm

repeg

4:54 pm

500 Michael Smiths? Wow, my math is off. It was based on the proportion of "Michael Smiths" in the US -- guess it's more common a name in the UK. I hope we can get the cops the IP address.

4:55 pm

So sorry! Not what I intended - my eyes are full of tears...

4:55 pm

it seems there's only one public hospital on the isle.

4:56 pm

the officer I spoke to was REALLY nice. THey are doing their best. It's all we can do. The fact that he was in hospital will really help, as they can get in touch that way. I am REALLY hoping dr god will call them

4:56 pm

Thank you wht

hello

4:56 pm

if they call back I will let you know.

4:56 pm

praying...

4:56 pm

trif, they might be able to narrow it down a bit with some info from his profile - he posted that his brother passed away 18th may 2014 aged 53

4:56 pm

thanks so much tri

4:57 pm

I sent them all I could

4:57 pm

and yes, thank you, trif

4:57 pm

I did offer them my babble password and sign on, but they wouldn't take it. Please don't thank me. I am doing what any of us would

4:58 pm

i have a lesson to give at 6:20,so I have to go now for a bit. I will keep my phone with me, for sure!

4:58 pm

yes, but you are actively taking the reins and strategizing instead of simply getting upset so people like you are invaluable in these situations.

4:58 pm

Thank you, Trif. Any of us might have done that but you were the one who did.

4:59 pm

Trif, I am heartened by your willingness to reach out. We are all strangers and have had run-ins with trolls online, but there is definitely a community of friendship and willingness to help each other that makes me smile...

4:59 pm

Think of yourself as channeling the Babble community.

5:01 pm

And who says the chat is kind of boring on days with a small grid?

5:02 pm

Time for me to go to dinner. Praying for Zooz. Poof for now.

5:02 pm

true wht but this is the kind of not boring we could all do without...

5:16 pm

The last time Zoom posted here about taking his life was August 19, 2010

5:18 pm

he posted on his profile about it a lot more recently

5:22 pm

I hope things change.

5:22 pm

how on earth did you ever find that molly?? holy shit

5:22 pm

I was referring to the last time Trif contacted the Isle of Wight police

5:23 pm

Dr. God sent me the link

5:28 pm

Oh, I am so thankful for this Babble community to care so much. I am praying for zooz and hope he gets the care he needs.

5:33 pm

Oh dear Lord. I hope I’m not contributing to Zoo’es angst. My intentions are only for his wellbeing. His name is Michael Rutherford, and he lives on the Isle of Wight. Zooz - if you are reading this, give me a call on 00353 86 8599916. I’d love ton

5:33 pm

To have an oul chat with you..

5:56 pm

Soodle, I hope he makes it through the night, and that he calls you <3

5:59 pm

I don't think it's a very smart idea to post your phone # on an unsecure website... just sayin'...

6:02 pm

maybe a credit card would be better so we can restock the PB.. it's been running low of late

6:05 pm

(waves to saanich)

6:10 pm

Hi ru, any name on. Zoos? Qborowed ancint iPad and none ohfthe words come right" ultimate frustration. so world qbot zzoz

6:12 pm

please let me know qnnout zoos is

6:12 pm

Zoom needs professional help right now. It is kind to offer him a phone call, but he needs people who are trained to help him. And yes, please remember that this site is not secuure so posting personal information is not a good idea.

6:12 pm

no word.. he said he was going to sleep.. he loaded up on some pills before and recovered from that. Hopefully he'll be in a different frame of mind when he wakes and seeks help

6:14 pm

you take care saanich ... hopefully it will work out with zooz. I'll email you what i know

6:15 pm

he's truly one of my most favorite people here as long as I've been here

6:17 pm

came in late to the convo, pls update on Zooz if any. best wishes to all

6:18 pm

I agree Ru. Zoom always has something funny to throw into the chat. He's the best. Bless him, I hope this all passes for him soon.

6:20 pm

I don't believe in god, but agree with bless him. A kind soul and a gentle person.

6:24 pm

Zoom, if that is you I see online, I hope you are reading all this and know how much people are pulling for you. Lots of love and good thoughts going out from this group to you.

6:40 pm

Hi I am back. I called the Isle of Wight police on my way home, and gave them the updated name information. I am so anxious for our dear zoom

6:41 pm

Their phone system SUCKS, btw - you have to push a zillion buttons and listen to entirely too many autobots

6:44 pm

The officer said they have found his info, and are sending officers

6:44 pm

I am almost hesitant to post that......zooz, if you are reading, PLEASE know that all was done with the greatest of care and regards for you

6:48 pm

Police arrived here a few minutes a go. Looked like an invasion lol. I told them I am okay. friends on babble have made me feel so much better about my situation. i am not well in the head I know that I am so sorry if I upset anyone here. I cannot help but say how I feel so once again sorry if I offended anyone. They have left now. And I need to go to sleep. I am exhasusted. Babbble is the best online game platform in the world. sorry for spelling mistakes. Mads are still wearing off. Goodnight my babbe friends ❤️❤️

6:49 pm

Hope to see you tomorrow. WE LOVE YOU

6:57 pm

Zoozzoom - sweet dreams, and may tomorrow look brighter. We all support you.

6:58 pm

Oh Zooz! I know I have no history with you, but you are one of my faves on here. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE know that you are loved - even if only through cyber space. I have been so heartsick for the last few hours... I am so relieved that you are still among us. Rest well, dear one....

7:01 pm

Trif, once again you have quite possibly saved a life. What an extraordinary community we have in Babble.... I am so touched to know the lengths that decent humans will go to in order to help one another....

7:02 pm

zoozzoom, you are loved, you are worthy, you are valued by many people. Please understand this and seek the help you need!

7:03 pm

zooz I am so happy that the police came to let you know just how loved you are all around the world and that now you are getting the sleep you need. I look forward to seeing you here again soon.

7:24 pm

I, too, am largely a lurker, but I am breathing a HUGE sigh of relief that Zooz came back online to say he was ok. We never truly know how many people we touch and, hopefully, tonight, Zooz felt all the warmth and love from all around the world that was sent directly to him.

Decided to check in here and I'm so sorry/sad to read all this but glad for Trif and Molly and Soodle and Dr. God and anyone else that I missed that helped. I always love it when zooz comes into the chat when I'm playing. Hopefully you will get some help and relief, zooz. Seriously, we have never met, but your profile is breaking my heart. Will be thinking about you and hope to see you tomorrow.

7:36 pm

I'm very glad zooz is OK.

7:40 pm

hopefully someone can help him.. hopefully his family's pressures will lessen since it's all on him. Hopefully he can put himself first now.

7:47 pm

he's not ok ori.. he's struggling. I hope he can find support and good counseling

7:48 pm

I felt encouraged that he reached out to us. I took it a sign that he wanted to stay. He just needed a bit of convicing

7:49 pm

good job on reaching the police trif. that was pretty incredible of you to reach out to help.

yes, and fast acting too

7:52 pm

like nyquil

7:57 pm

thats me, nyquil

7:57 pm

I wrote back to thank/commend the officer that helped me - what a star she was! All credit to her

8:10 pm

That was smart thinking Trif. And Molly as well to try via the IP address.

8:11 pm

thank goodness for the internet.

8:14 pm

Thanks for what you did Trif - others too! Zooz seems like such a nice and funny guy and I hope that his babble friends have given him some comfort. Kudos to the IoW police for responding so well.

8:14 pm

I see NEF is lurking. Hi NEF!!!

8:24 pm

oh zooz. so so sorry life is so awfully brutish now. i'm thinking the world even beyond babble (yes, yes such exists) may need you. if you'd like email kind of chatting you maybe can let me know here and I will post temporary email that can take you to my regular email, and on and on. poor thing. well, in the unlikely case you read back though the chog... not thomas hardy, but worse reading exists, you'll see this and lots of loving sentiments throughout. hearts, exes and o's.

10:09 pm

Hello everyone. Yes, I’ve been lurking today (& feeling pretty stupid too on this grid. I had chat off the screen for a while.

10:17 pm

Now that I’ve read back onchog for the past few hours

10:30 pm

I’m sorry I didn’t have the chat on the screen. Zoozzoom is someone I’ve considered a friend over the years, I hope he feels the same way about me & other people also.
