12:40 am

yes he is, glant
12:40 am
jillibus
I suggest you google the guy mentioned in ruru's profile and see what you think.
12:40 am
sammysmom
why???
12:40 am
rururocks
yes glant
12:40 am
flosey
someone has too much spare time
12:40 am
NonnieLight
Yes, why? And how was it figured out?
12:41 am
Flask1
Of course he was, and when "him" and I fell out everyone on here hate me!!!!
12:41 am
rururocks
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
jillibus
That's interesting, ruru.
12:41 am
grannyrose
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
NonnieLight
Well, not everyone, flask. I wasn't aware of a falling out.
12:41 am
rururocks
I have never thought one bad thing about you Flask ever
12:42 am
jillibus
Neither have I, flask.
12:42 am
flosey
nor I, Flask
12:42 am

flask, never have i thought of you in a negative way.
12:42 am
Glantarell
I don't see the link between matsumoto and NB, but I never saw NBs profile pic
12:43 am
Flask1
Ok...sorry to generalise.....the people online at time of conversation, hated me, is what I should have said!!!
12:43 am
rururocks
all of Jesse's Photos were very professionally done.. and they are of this person
12:43 am
jillibus
I'll post it now, glant...wait a bit and then refresh or go out and back in
12:43 am
Christine
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
NonnieLight
Sorry that happened to you Flask.
12:43 am
rururocks
read my profile christine please
12:44 am
Glantarell
OK, I get that somebody could use another person's picture as their icon - they may even have idoloised them
12:45 am
rururocks
not how Jesse put that out glant
12:45 am
Flask1
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
NonnieLight
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
Glantarell
oh, i see, jesse said it was himself?
12:46 am

he was here when i joined

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
Glantarell
i was aware he was supposedly a friend of julian clary
12:46 am
jillibus
Here's the picture I have of Jesse
12:47 am
Flask1
very true.......but who am I to tell anyone on here that they should ignore someone....of course I can't!

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

NonnieLight
ahahahhaa, I had always thought that about you ru.
12:49 am
Glantarell
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
LeslieAnn
ru, have you looked into who was running that profile and why? i never remember him asking for money or whatnot
12:50 am
Glantarell
luckily all my online friends have been real - or at least the ones i've also met IRL

12:52 am

just attention
12:52 am
rururocks
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
Glantarell
Interesting that his Wikipedia entry has nothing since 2 years ago, perhaps he had some kind of crisis?
12:53 am
flosey
ru have you recognized him as another player?
12:53 am
rururocks
yes Bugs

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

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

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

Hi flask. Sorry that you were treated badly by other Babblers too.
12:58 am

nah, liz. we are civilised in our recovery room. we have stools on which to perch.
1:39 am
Haz1558
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!

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
Lizlin
Which are you missing Flask?
1:45 am
grannyrose
flask, so + Registered Nurse
1:46 am
NonnieLight
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
Haz1558
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
Glantarell
it seems that JC had several identities here, perhaops fauxmagew was one, and maybe he even fabricated boy george et al
1:47 am
Haz1558
Anyway, must do the station run with daughter - back shortly.
1:47 am
NonnieLight
boy george and his sis...rather rude
1:48 am

am missing the so4 between the so5..and so6

He never warmed up to me.

Mikey in Berlin could possibly be JC too

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
grannyrose
mich...please believe...ruru is authentic.
2:01 am
mich_pdx
yes, I know Ruru is real, I'm saying he might be right that Mikey could have been an alias.

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...

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

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.

Haz1558
I'm back. He fooled a lot of people.
2:06 am
grannyrose
hey, haz.
2:07 am
Haz1558
I just felt suspicious of a lot of the more colourful personae that were trotted out over time.
2:08 am
grannyrose
yhaz, perhaps look at how you have reacted to other babblers? on th5 recommendation?
2:08 am
rururocks
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
Haz1558
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
Haz1558
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
rururocks
maybe the multiple people aren't as many people as you think
2:10 am
grannyrose
haz...peer group pressure??
2:10 am
Dianne
or maybe there were mulitple Babble names involved and one mastermind with lots of e-mail addresses.
2:11 am
Haz1558
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
rururocks
Fauxmage is a separate person
2:11 am
rururocks
she is not JC
2:11 am
grannyrose
haz, not judging you....the mind-set is all invasive.
2:11 am
Haz1558
In which case she has been fooled as well?
2:12 am
rururocks
I think so
2:12 am
grannyrose
hey dianne
2:12 am
Haz1558
All I know is that J.C. was an extremely divisive person in here.
2:12 am
Lizlin
Hi again :)
2:12 am
Dianne
Hi rose - how are you feeling?
2:13 am
rururocks
All I know is that I will never forgive him for savaging Atalante and some others
2:13 am
rolin
hey hey..haz... what's this about j.c?....
2:13 am
Fauxmage
Hello Babblers. Yes I am a separate person, and I was fooled as well. I apologize to anyone I have offended.
2:13 am
Haz1558
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
Lizlin
It's not difficult to set up virtuall VPN s for your computer, so people think you're in a different country!

no such luck liz...the school is open...but im going in late...
2:14 am
Lizlin
Ro, had a lovely week last week with the family
2:14 am
Haz1558
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
grannyrose
not here, liz....no snow in sight.
2:15 am
rolin
yeah..my son's not a bad guy is he..lol
2:15 am
Lizlin
Groan! Poor you. Drive safely.
2:15 am
Lizlin
No, he's lovely.
2:15 am
Dianne
Glad to hear that, Rose.
2:15 am
Lizlin
No rose. Not in summer in Melbourne but snow in London!
2:16 am
Fauxmage
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
rolin
was it finally proved that j.c.....was not THE j.c.?
2:16 am
grannyrose
aaagghh!!!! of course.!!!!
2:16 am
rururocks
it's like a soap opera.. all of his characters must die
2:16 am
Fauxmage
I have been through an emotional wringer over this and am quite shocked.
2:16 am
periwinkle
hi all, can't sleep
2:17 am
Haz1558
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
periwinkle
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
Fauxmage
I was never his web admin. I own a forum of which he was once a member.
2:17 am
grannyrose
faux....so sorry for the let-down.
2:17 am
Fauxmage
Thank you grannyrose.
2:18 am
Haz1558
That makes sense, Fauxmage. You were sucked in as well.
2:18 am
grannyrose
peri...i am here....it's so sad that this sociopath was able to dupe all of us.
2:18 am
Haz1558
So Ata was right all along. So was herinfernallady who moved heaven and earth to try and expose J.C.
2:18 am
Fauxmage
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
rururocks
yes.. and Frank Cleary (Clary) is Julian too
2:19 am
rururocks
He'll certainly be on tomorrow to garner sympathy for the passing of Jesse
2:19 am
periwinkle
really, ruru?
2:19 am
Haz1558
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
rolin
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
grannyrose
you rock, haz.
2:20 am
rururocks
who knows.. it probably is Julian Clary..
2:21 am
rururocks
I'm guessing we'll see a lot of gay vegetarians that only adopt pets from pounds for years now
2:21 am
Lizlin
I cannot imagine any celeb, however famous or not, using their " known" names on a site like this.
2:22 am
periwinkle
help with the en7 pls
2:22 am
Haz1558
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
rururocks
he went by JC liz.. not Julian Clary
2:22 am
Lizlin
Oops! Pb for me!
2:22 am
rururocks
that could be too haz.
2:23 am
Haz1558
But he did claim to be Julian Clary and got very cross with me and others who challenged him.
2:23 am
Lizlin
Ok ru! I see
2:23 am
rururocks
there are a lot of people who want to be celebrities and could have stolen his name
2:23 am
rolin
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
Haz1558
But ruru, I agree that AndrewinDrag had all the characteristics to be another personality in the hall of babble fame.
2:24 am
Haz1558
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
rururocks
yes.. and he disappeared when someone commented " gee something sounds familiar here".. Andrew hasn't been seen snce
2:25 am
Haz1558
I noticed that, ruru.
2:25 am
rolin
lol...really haz??... what a hoot...
2:25 am
rururocks
rolin.. you criminal you... :D
2:25 am
rururocks
rolin.. you criminal you... :D
2:26 am
Haz1558
Absolutely. Lots of people here were thoroughly condemned in that conversation for not buying into the wonderment that was J.C.
2:26 am
Lizlin
Naughty Ro!

2:27 am

That's what I mean, rolin, he divided the community here.
2:28 am
rururocks
That looks like horrible english.. sorry
2:28 am
Haz1558
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

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

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

MimiCat
Christine--what was the rotten trick?
3:48 am
rbud
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
rbud
...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
MimiCat
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.

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
Yvo
a good Actor and of course he had a good audience.how sad is all that
3:54 am
MimiCat
I wonder if there is a way Dr. God can block entries from that ISP address?
3:55 am
MimiCat
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
rbud
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
MimiCat
Wow---this person needs professional help.
3:57 am
MimiCat
Wouldn't give him the satisfaction of wasting any more time on him.....
3:58 am
MimiCat
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
rbud
feel better soon, Mimi - (((hugs)))
3:59 am
MimiCat
Thx, rbud. Glad I got to talk to you since I usually miss you here.
4:01 am
rbud
well, I'm sick too, haha, so here I am. But then I stay up this late frequently.
4:02 am
MimiCat
Sorry--was trying one more before I left. Guess I'll go be sick in the PB!! Bye. Poof
4:03 am
rbud
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
MimiCat
Oh, just realized it is not a word so no PB for me after all....
4:03 am
rbud
yep, you're in the clear! :)
4:04 am
MimiCat
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
MimiCat
BTW, rbud, love your animated icon.
4:28 am

good day Babblers!
4:37 am

lol... I am in the grid today

One word left.....an s6.....clue plz
4:44 am

hello movie my man
4:45 am
sprite
the only S6 I have so far I am myself
4:45 am
movieman
Got thay
4:46 am
movieman
Got that one
4:46 am
sprite
oh, and now also sp + hire a car or place to live
4:47 am
movieman
Also have that one
4:47 am
sprite
sorry, don't have other yet, just started
4:56 am
sprite
movie, I think I found it. so6/18. It rhymes with the places where the walls of the room come together.
4:58 am
Michnick
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
movieman
ty sp6....that's crash, boom, crackle!!!!!
4:58 am
sprite
wtg movieman!!!
4:58 am
sprite
hi Michnick, first I hear about it?
4:59 am
Michnick
Hi sprite. Anyone here still that can fill us in?
5:03 am
sprite
ok, sorry, had to log back in, the chat froze on me (from shock, no doubt)
5:04 am
sprite
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
Michnick
What is matsumoto? Someone faked being NB or is this a matsumoto a real person?
5:06 am
sprite
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
sprite
the matsumoto is a real person, but he is not our NancyBoy
5:06 am
jwr
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
Michnick
CREEPY!!
5:08 am
sprite
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
Michnick
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
movieman
i can't access ruru's profile
5:10 am
sprite
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
jwr
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
sprite
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
sprite
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
jwr
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
MollyL
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
sprite
ok will check out the chog then, thanks jwr.
5:17 am
Michnick
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
zoozzoom
Hello, all..please may i have the stats for 'N' under the 'D' please..my guess work is fading..lol
5:19 am
jwr
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
jwr
Mich, I think Ruru's point was that none of them exist -- they were all Julian Cleary.
5:20 am
jwr
or someone using his name. But just one person.
5:20 am
MollyL
Mich, this didn't hurt Matsumoto at all. But it did hurt some very kind people here, a lot.
5:21 am
Michnick
I understood that JC used the pics from a real person, but made up the persona.
5:21 am
Michnick
I was very distressed when NB 'died."
5:21 am
sprite
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
Michnick
Hey, Sp5, you must be real because you are in the grid today!
5:22 am
sprite
zooz, I think it is ne4/5
5:23 am
zoozzoom
Thank you, Spritey!
5:23 am
sprite
I am totally real, lol. With rotten black humor and sometimes vicious puns included.
5:23 am
zoozzoom
*Looking*
5:23 am
Michnick
Me too, with all my warts
5:23 am
jwr
Nice to talk to you for a change -- gotta get back to work. Have fun; this is a small one.
5:23 am
sprite
*grin* Warts are cool. They show character.
5:24 am
rbud
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
sprite
byw jwr, thanks for helping out and indeed nice to chat with you. Have a good day at work.
5:24 am
Michnick
Maybe, warts are cool, but I live in fear of truly being a ne4!
5:24 am
MollyL
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
rbud
(today now?) I meant
5:25 am
zoozzoom
Oh geez..thanks, Mich..i thought i tried that one.
5:25 am
Michnick
My pleasure zooz
5:25 am
sprite
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
rbud
ru thinks so, and several more as well.
5:26 am
MollyL
The general consensus is that Frank Cleary is another fake persona.
5:26 am
xeiluj
In an open forum you are always gonna get crazyness.
5:27 am
jwr
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
MollyL
And people did get into a money scam here and got taken badly.
5:27 am
sprite
yep, I know people did and have. Very sad.
5:27 am
Michnick
I guess the money scam was before my time. What happened, did someone give a fake cry for help?
5:28 am
MollyL
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
sprite
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
Michnick
How do people live with themselves?
5:29 am
sprite
I believe the money was intended for MrPresident but never reached her.
5:29 am
MollyL
The extreme need for attention should be a big red flag.
5:29 am
Michnick
Oh, when the neighbor was terrorizing her?
5:29 am
sprite
thanks - I had a bit of a JC feeling when chatting with that person(a).
5:30 am
Christine
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
sprite
the lady that lost her fiance was genuine and received the donations. All went well there.
5:31 am
MollyL
The money scam that I am aware of is when a person, Wildcat, offered to collect money for Mr. President.
5:31 am
Michnick
Christine, your icon is very apt today, we should all live by it.
5:32 am
Christine
And Frank Cleary - was he NB's boyfriend? or am I mixed-up?
5:32 am
sprite
I think you are correct.
5:33 am
Michnick
Oh what a wicked web we weave....
5:33 am
rbud
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
zoozzoom
*sprays tea everywhere*..Wildcat is a fake.
5:34 am
Christine
Michnick - is that the THINK poster? I'm still seeing the diacritics poster.
5:34 am
Michnick
It's the THINK. Great.
5:35 am
rbud
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
Michnick
joint inheritor
5:35 am
sprite
you sure feel real to me, rbud :)
5:36 am
sprite
thank you Mich, that is fireflies for me
5:36 am
Michnick
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
sprite
lol, have a good time at work, Michnick.
5:37 am
zoozzoom
WTG Spritey!
5:37 am
rbud
LOL!! back to the old grind, Mich! :)
5:37 am
Michnick
Have a good day all!!
5:37 am
zoozzoom
Sorry for being dumb..but is there another clue for the C6?
5:37 am
xeiluj
Brilliant, well done Sprite!! Can i have a clue for that c 6 word please?
5:37 am
zoozzoom
Take care, Mich.
5:38 am
sprite
someone who inherits together with you
5:38 am
xeiluj
Looked back and got it, thank you
5:38 am
sprite
nad hi xeiluj!
5:39 am
sprite
zooz: co + the **** to the throne = the coronet.
5:39 am
xeiluj
Hi right back at you. Down to 4, struggling now
5:40 am
zoozzoom
Ahh..thank you..my brain cell is not working well today..lol
5:40 am
sprite
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
rbud
ah, but she was here tonight apologizing, I hope that was real.
5:41 am
MollyL
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
sprite
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
MollyL
Yes Sprite, I remember that as I was also taken to task by her. That is why I have my doubts.
5:43 am
sprite
I am with you, Molly. Sincere doubts there.
5:43 am
rbud
jeez, now I wonder if neil is real... have discussed certain similarities he has in attitude and such with others before.
5:43 am
rbud
... might just be another alias! :P
5:44 am
MollyL
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
sprite
indeedydeed, rbud.
5:44 am
zoozzoom
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
rbud
and there are certainly enough pics of the real neil out there to borrow...
5:45 am
zoozzoom
MollyL thats why i took my email address down.
5:45 am
sprite
zooz, hate is never a solution :) And no need to hate either Haz or Jac. Good people.
5:47 am
sprite
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
MollyL
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
Christine
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
MollyL
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
sprite
yep and to Andree too. I believe Andree never came back after that.
5:51 am
Christine
MollyL are you a ghost or a vampire? Where's your icon picture?
5:51 am
sprite
lol Christine. That is funny. For sure no drama queen then.
5:51 am
rbud
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
Christine
Aaah, you're famous, and traveling incognito!
5:52 am
zoozzoom
I can see, MollyLs icon.
5:52 am
sprite
I guess I am infamous and only cognito
5:53 am
sprite
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
zoozzoom
I'm just cold and in need of another cup of tea..lol
5:54 am
zoozzoom
LOL Spritey.
5:54 am
Christine
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
Soodle
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
sprite
*hugs Soodle*
5:55 am
sprite
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
zoozzoom
Hello, Soodle.
5:57 am
Soodle
<~~~~~Still shaking head!!!! And hey Sprite & Zooz & Moll et al.
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.

Kallia
you to Zooz
6:22 am
rbud
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
Christine
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
rbud
twisted, just twisted! :P
6:26 am
rbud
hmmm, 3 left now, all 5's. this shouldn't take too long.
6:27 am
Christine
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
rbud
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
Christine
Think of it this way, don't we prefer to be the scammed, rather than the scammer?
6:33 am
Haz1558
Hello again. That was one of the things that disturbed me about J.C. - all that recruiting of people seemed weird.
6:35 am
Christine
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
rbud
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
Haz1558
No, he never sent me any e-mails, I was on his list of most hated right from the start.
6:36 am
rbud
and always trying to be the center of attention, too. :P
6:36 am
Haz1558
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
Haz1558
He made a huge song and dance about the whole thing, overreacted to an unbelievable degree.
6:37 am
Haz1558
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
Anniebrook
Hello everyone:), Haz, I remember the incident with so-called email you sent to sprite. It was so out of character.
6:38 am
Christine
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
rbud
all the time with the "check your email, check your email" - pushy sh** stirrers!
6:39 am
Haz1558
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
Haz1558
Hello, Annie. This is quite a story, isn't it?
6:39 am
Christine
I do remember hearing something about the emails to Ata's husband.
6:40 am
Haz1558
Yes, someone, supposedly from Australia, sent the e-mails. It was just a vicious, nasty thing to do.
6:40 am
Anniebrook
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
Haz1558
His (NB's) story was pretty dramatic, to say the least.
6:41 am
Anniebrook
This calls for coffee, be right back.
6:41 am
Haz1558
I wonder how his death was going to be announced here if Soodle hadn't unwittingly let things slip.
6:44 am
Christine
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
Anniebrook
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
Haz1558
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
rbud
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
Haz1558
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
Lizlin
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
rbud
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
Anniebrook
Haz, it must be a relief to the Babblers who were vilified and attacked that th5 attackers were fictitious.
6:49 am
Haz1558
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.
6:50 am
Haz1558
en7 - the final chord of a song? Or the last reference in a book
6:50 am
Jacula
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.
6:50 am
Sugrraleona
duh! THANK YOU HAZ
6:50 am
Haz1558
Hello, Jacula.
6:50 am
Haz1558
No problem, Sugrr.
6:51 am
Anniebrook
hello, Jacula.
6:51 am
Jacula
Thanks for en7, Haz. I hadn't got that one either. 5 left to find...
6:51 am
Sugrraleona
I have 6 left
6:51 am
rbud
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
Haz1558
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
Jacula
Haz - Ah! So what I suspected IS correct.
6:53 am
Jacula
rbud - I will check back when I have time.
6:53 am
rbud
and ru found pics of some star that had been used as NB's icons
6:53 am
Haz1558
I'm cynical along with ruru about other gay vegan animal rights men who have appeared along the way.
6:53 am
Haz1558
And yes, you were right.
6:53 am
Jacula
Haz - ditto.
6:54 am
Jacula
I take no pleasure in being right. The whole thing caused quite a lot of damage.
6:55 am
Haz1558
It did, it divided people greatly, probably his aim.
6:56 am
rbud
the atmosphere in here was decidedly uneasy and untrusting at the time.
6:57 am
Haz1558
It was, rbud, you had to watch what you said.
6:57 am
Jacula
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
MollyL
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
Haz1558
Whoever is behind this is possibly a frustrated soap-opera scriptwriter.
6:58 am
Jacula
Molly - I did say things.
6:58 am
Haz1558
She did speak out, Molly.
6:59 am
MollyL
Ah sorry, must have missed that.
6:59 am
Haz1558
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
Jacula
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
MollyL
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
Lizlin
Molly - so agree with what you said earlier about being sooo careful about what you post on the internet.
7:01 am
Haz1558
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
hurshy
must be worse if you think you're dating the person and loving them...
7:04 am
Jacula
hursh - Yes, that must be awful.
7:04 am
Haz1558
Hello, hurshy.
7:05 am
MollyL
I've put things in my profile from time to time about internet imposters. This is one of the reasons why.
7:05 am

And now you know that confetti isn't one of them.

Jacula
No wedding words in this particular grid, hursh.
7:08 am
Haz1558
I should go and make some lunch.
7:08 am
hurshy
what will you make?
7:08 am
Jacula
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

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
rubyfoo
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
rubyfoo
What is the conclusion? Was NB real or a figment?
9:45 am
welki
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
MimiCat
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
rubyfoo
are there really other names that have been identified as NB?
9:46 am
dan2bit
is there a third s6? I have sp6 soda and sp6 sp + lease
9:46 am
welki
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
rubyfoo
and do the theorists still think that ruru and I are the same person LOL?
9:47 am
MimiCat
Ruby, it is my understanding there were several names associated with this person.

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.

How are you and Frank these days? I haven't been here when you are for awhile.
9:51 am
72 Temple Owl
hello sue and ruby
9:53 am
MimiCat
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
dan2bit
en7 - particular type of citattion
9:54 am
MimiCat
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.
9:55 am
72 Temple Owl
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
uusue2
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.
9:56 am
72 Temple Owl
he made a show of threatening me in chat with my real name
9:56 am
72 Temple Owl
sorry to hear this sue
9:56 am
MimiCat
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
MimiCat
Wow, TO---that's terrible. I'm sure everyone gathered around you for support.
9:57 am
uusue2
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
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
9:57 am
72 Temple Owl
hi doren. a nice short one you can do on your ipad
9:58 am
Dorens
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.
9:58 am
72 Temple Owl
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
Dorens
yes, and sue, as well, is real.
9:58 am
uusue2
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
MimiCat
Is it just me or are the short ones harder? This one is unfriendly for me.
9:59 am
Dorens
hoping frank is feeling beetter soon, sue
9:59 am
uusue2
lol, doren is real too!
9:59 am
MimiCat
Bye, sue---take care and HAGD.
9:59 am
uusue2
anyway I will be back this evening, I hope.
9:59 am

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

hello all - back from breakfast break
10:01 am
MimiCat
Hi, teach!
10:02 am
Dorens
so, it seems that my beloved old cat, Lucy has left my house to die. I am so sad -
10:02 am
Marc Freeman
Could I get a diiferent clue for en7, please?
10:03 am
72 Temple Owl
oh doren. i am sorry.
10:03 am
MimiCat
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
Uneaixoise
so very sorry, doren :-(
10:04 am
Dorens
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

10:05 am
Dorens
sorry Mimi, how old was your dodger cat?
10:05 am
72 Temple Owl
mimi did yo find your cat?
10:05 am
MimiCat
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
MimiCat
He is 3 now and is doing fine after the ordeal. Back to his feisty self playing with his sister and older brother.
10:06 am

hi une.

All done yeah me!

great news , mimi!

Marc Freeman
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
72 Temple Owl
yes. no4
10:07 am
Dorens
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
Uneaixoise
hello, all -- am watching CNN but wanted to see how eveyone's doing today :-)
10:07 am
MimiCat
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
Uneaixoise
totally understandable, mimi!
10:08 am
Marc Freeman
thanks got it
10:08 am
MimiCat
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
harpjane
mine always die at home
10:09 am
Dorens
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
Uneaixoise
years ago, my mom's old springer did just that -- went off into the woods and never returned
10:10 am
MimiCat
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.
10:10 am
72 Temple Owl
how old is lucy?
10:10 am
Deeha
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
Dorens
I wonder if I'll ever stop looking out the back door for her. She is nearly 18
10:11 am
MimiCat
Yeah, Deeha, that's even a little "out there" for me!
10:11 am
Uneaixoise
much sympathy for your waiting and watching, doren
10:12 am
Dorens
thanks une. I'll have to go dig up her picture for my icon later on...
10:12 am
MimiCat
I think sometimes animals who love us want to spare us the pain of seeing them die...but it doesn't work.
10:13 am
Marc Freeman
there are two sp6's. I have the soda one. Could I get a clue on the other one?
10:14 am
Marc Freeman
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

sp6/21 - sp plus what you pay to a landlord.
10:14 am
MimiCat
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
Uneaixoise
sp + monthly check to landlord
10:16 am
MimiCat
I've done that many times, Deeha...so painful but cannot abandon them. OK---off this subject---I'm getting sad.

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

I(f she ndoesnt listen to me dont think she will listen to you!!
10:19 am
72 Temple Owl
haz: let us not spculate on what is in my head at any time. :)
10:20 am
Haz1558
I saw that Dorens complimented you on being somewhat normal.
10:21 am
Uneaixoise
back after swearing in -- byeee *poof*
10:21 am
72 Temple Owl
but i would take david duchcovny. or i would have , before he was revealed as a skank
10:22 am
Haz1558
I never really got into X-files but the music was suitably scary and odd.
10:22 am
72 Temple Owl
well yes. she knows i know where she lives ;)
10:24 am
Dorens
hey owl, you were looking for ru's profile? this is probably what was there http://www.squidoo.com/jun-matsumoto
10:24 am
Dorens
the proof about the nb scandal??
10:25 am
72 Temple Owl
ty. yes. just curious.
10:25 am
Dorens
hello haz.. I suppose you've already seen that??
10:26 am
Haz1558
Hello, Dorens - no, hadn't looked until now. It's all very odd, isn't it?
10:28 am
Haz1558
I'm sorry about your cat. Not knowing must be torment.
10:28 am
Dorens
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.
10:29 am
72 Temple Owl
very nasty. poor you, and herein, and soodle
10:30 am
72 Temple Owl
and ata
10:30 am
Dorens
thanks, haz, yes, somewhat tormenting.I had been expecting her to pass sometime now, but not knowing is..
10:30 am
72 Temple Owl
hmm, how do we fix chat?
10:31 am
Haz1558
I hope that you find Lucy, one way or another, Dorens.
10:31 am
Haz1558
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?
10:31 am
72 Temple Owl
deeha's kitty broke it :)
10:32 am
Dorens
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
Dorens
yes, it will right itself eventually,
10:33 am
72 Temple Owl
i do. wondering how ru put the pieces together.
10:34 am
Haz1558
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'
10:34 am
72 Temple Owl
gee i needed 3 words for 2o min
10:35 am
Dorens
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.
10:35 am
72 Temple Owl
one alter ego still shows up here
10:36 am
Haz1558
So what kind of person perpetuates this sort of thing?
10:36 am
Dorens
which one? frank cleary was here recently and ru interrogated him. he disappeared then
10:36 am
Dorens
a very very sick one ? A narcissist with twisted mind
10:36 am
72 Temple Owl
a woman i cannot remember her name
10:37 am
Haz1558
Do you mean Fauxmage, TO?
10:37 am
72 Temple Owl
i one besides her.
10:37 am
Haz1558
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
Dorens
he is intelligent, i'll give him that. he'll probably have his next alter egos a little harder to figure out, better disguises
10:37 am
72 Temple Owl
fauxmage. faux image.
10:38 am
Haz1558
He's highly intelligent, extremely articulate but narcissistic in refusing to ever be wrong.
10:38 am
72 Temple Owl
know what? i thnk i have just wasted 15 min of my lifetha i will never get back
10:39 am
Dorens
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
Haz1558
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.
10:40 am
72 Temple Owl
fauxmage always made me think of fromage.
10:40 am
Dorens
hmmm-- jury's still out on her in my book
10:42 am
Haz1558
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.
10:43 am
72 Temple Owl
i think i reacted to someone;s doing that very oddly last week , was thinking of this.
10:43 am
Dorens
good advice haz. . i'm off now. will be back later
10:43 am
Haz1558
Bye for now, Dorens, good to talk to you.
10:43 am
72 Temple Owl

10:44 am
72 Temple Owl
so haz, watching the inauguration here.
10:44 am
Haz1558
Ah, the chat log has corrected itself.
10:44 am
Haz1558
Of course, I knew it was happening, just not sure of the times.
10:45 am
Haz1558
They were speculating that there would be fewer people around than for the first.
10:45 am
72 Temple Owl
i still need three!!! yes, but still a lot. cosdem is there
10:46 am
Haz1558
I know, he's certainly made an effort to get there.
10:46 am
Haz1558
Which three are you missing or do you want to do it alone?
10:46 am

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

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

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.

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.

5:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
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.
5:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
and it is long now and i think it overwhelms my face.
5:01 pm
Nef
I see the new pic jmc. It looks lovely!
5:02 pm

uusue2
the re's are all pretty normal words, nef
5:36 pm
Lizlin
Good morning - go Nef!!!!
5:36 pm
Nef
Hi Lizlin. How are you today?
5:37 pm
Lizlin
Hi Sue, Nef and TO - fine thanks - another beautiful day here. So much better than the snow back in London!!!!
5:37 pm
Lizlin
Hope you've all had / are having a good day :)
5:39 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes to nef and hi so liz and re-hi to sue
5:40 pm
Nef
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
uusue2
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
Nef
YAY, TO! WTG!!!
5:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
i am done and going to cook dinner now. sue, doren svouched that we'e real and relatively normal. whoo-hoo! ;)
5:41 pm
uusue2
dunno about the normal part, though :-)
5:41 pm
Lizlin
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
Nef
yay, TO (but I never doubted that....)
5:41 pm
Lizlin
congrats TO :)
5:41 pm
72 Temple Owl
hi welk
5:41 pm
Lizlin
Hi welki :)
5:42 pm
uusue2
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
72 Temple Owl
hey welk
5:42 pm
Lizlin
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
welki
i think i'm real. *pinch* i am!
5:43 pm
uusue2
I can vouch for the reality of nef too :-)
5:43 pm
72 Temple Owl
*sneaks up behind wlk and pinches*
5:44 pm
Nef
thank you, sue.
5:44 pm
Lizlin
I think I'm real, therefore I know I'm real!!!!!! Whatever!!!! Don't pinch too hard - it hurts!!!
5:44 pm
72 Temple Owl
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
Nef
Fireworks finally. I was sure I'd entered that word a long time ago; must have mis-typed....
5:45 pm
72 Temple Owl
yay nef!
5:45 pm
Lizlin
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
Lizlin
Congrats Nef :)
5:46 pm
72 Temple Owl
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
uusue2
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
Lizlin
Scary - my oldest ex pupils are now in their 40s!
5:47 pm
72 Temple Owl
they sent her over to my area and i was her team leader. contributed greatly to my retirement
5:47 pm
uusue2
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
uusue2
prospective employers, that is
5:48 pm
Lizlin
When I was teaching in primary, cyber bullying was becoming a huge issue.
5:48 pm
Nef
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!
5:49 pm
72 Temple Owl
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
Lizlin
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.
5:49 pm
72 Temple Owl
heck we have had cyber bullying on this site.
5:50 pm
uusue2
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
Lizlin
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
Nef
TO, I missed that you'd retired. Congrats! :-)
5:51 pm
Lizlin
Love retirement (I took it early) and would recommend it to all!
5:51 pm
72 Temple Owl
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
Nef
I'm sorry to hear that TO
5:52 pm
Lizlin
Is your retirement recent TO? If so, many congrats and I hope you love it as much as I don.
5:53 pm
72 Temple Owl
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
uusue2
<--- looking forward to enjoying my own retirement
5:54 pm
Lizlin
It's actually so easy to forget about not being too personal, when you chat away as if you were in the same room!
5:54 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. but the community was a lot smaller and wuite different when I began.
5:54 pm
welki
owl, you retired?
5:54 pm
Nef
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
uusue2
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
Lizlin
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.
5:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes.
5:56 pm
uusue2
where did you move from, liz?
5:56 pm
72 Temple Owl
wow liz
5:56 pm
Lizlin
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
Lizlin
London, Sue.
5:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok, i want to finish up that printer setup. I CAN DO THIS!
5:57 pm
MollyL
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
uusue2
ah, I think I remember that, liz
5:57 pm
Lizlin
Yes, you can TO :)
5:57 pm
uusue2
and go, TO! Don't let the machines win! :-)
5:57 pm
72 Temple Owl
SEE THIS IS THE OTHER REASON LOL
5:57 pm
Nef
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...
5:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
we do not have social security so am not bound to 66 as retirement age.
5:58 pm
uusue2
I do remember all that (well, not all the details but that you had a lot going on)
5:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. nef, i remember that.
5:59 pm
welki
what do you mean, you don't have SS?
5:59 pm
welki
<-- is on the Freedom 95 plan
5:59 pm
Nef
so I was starting to feel almost retired in August.
5:59 pm
72 Temple Owl
separate pension system for public employees. pay medicare though.
6:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
min age for retirement is 50.
6:00 pm
uusue2
same here, welki, no social security (at least not much, get a little from before I worked for Illinois)
6:00 pm
welki
sounds strange - i worked in municipal govt in the states and contributed to ss - in any case, i'm happy you've retired!!
6:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
for teachers i think it is 55. more and more folks taking it
6:00 pm
72 Temple Owl
waht is freedom 95?
6:01 pm
welki
it means i'll be able to retire when i'm 95 - dirt nap
6:01 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh, welki. oh dear.
6:01 pm
tessagram
could I have help with re5 12?
6:02 pm
Lizlin
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
welki
no worries - wouldn't know how to not work, i'm an old plough horse
6:02 pm
72 Temple Owl
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
welki
three's company - would be a re5/12
6:02 pm
Lizlin
re 5 /12 - when movies are repeated!
6:03 pm
Nef
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
tessagram
oops sorry, got that I mean re5,10
6:03 pm
72 Temple Owl
ok now, going to make dinner, happy babbling to all
6:03 pm
welki
we have the 85 factor here, too - again, municipal govt, but alberta
6:03 pm
uusue2
add a vowel to the re4/4, tessa
6:03 pm
Lizlin
think re 4 / 4 - to lease but add a vowel
6:04 pm
welki
provincial is 85 factor too, i think
6:04 pm
uusue2
use the upper t, tessa
6:04 pm
Lizlin
Go up!!!! but not in the chog!
6:05 pm
uusue2
ah, so I was at 85 (age + years) when I retired, now I don't feel so bad :-)
6:05 pm
tessagram
Thank you so much!! Fireworks!!
6:05 pm
Lizlin
Congrats Tessa :)
6:05 pm
uusue2

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

8:09 pm
Jillyjill
It's been sunny here, somewhat inversion, but more sun this winter than ever before.

8:10 pm
smores
yeah...they were quite loud last night
8:11 pm
Jillyjill
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
Jillyjill
The TV shows we have in the summer snags...
8:11 pm
dcseain

8:12 pm
snags
nm found it
8:13 pm
Jillyjill
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
Jillyjill
So, on second thought, giggling isn't all that bad...
8:14 pm
Jillyjill
Hey dc, how are you doing?
8:15 pm
Minveryork
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
smores
lol...yuck
8:15 pm
Minveryork
Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.
8:16 pm
smores
I'm pretty used to it, either her friend is here on the weekend or my daughter is at her house.
8:17 pm
Jillyjill

8:22 pm
Minveryork
Thank you Jillyjill.Hope the story helped.I am doing ok.
8:23 pm
dcseain
15 or 16 inch is matter of preference, i''d opt for the larger, but that's me.
8:23 pm
Jillyjill
hello dc, how are you? leg gettiing better?
8:24 pm
Minveryork
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
snags
Min, get what you want.......... Hubby just bought a new honda crv with all the toys and whistles
8:25 pm
Minveryork
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
rururocks
whew.. glad you're talking about tires
8:26 pm
Minveryork
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
Minveryork
Hello rururocks!How are you doing today? Welcome to grid
8:26 pm
Minveryork
LOL rururocks! The most boring conversation to come in on
8:28 pm
rururocks
this conversation isn't a retread is it?
8:28 pm
Jillyjill
One would think with such a little grid that the chog might be more stimulating
8:28 pm
Jillyjill
No ruru, just lots of rubber discussion
8:28 pm
rururocks
I've been stimulated enough lately jilly.. thanks
8:29 pm
snags
lol........... you all are funny
8:30 pm
o-o
Sure it is a retread ... just look at the participants.
8:30 pm
Jillyjill
♫ The wheels on minv's car goes round and round and round, round and round...♫
8:30 pm

Minveryork
Hopefully I will get the new car on Saturday if all goes well
8:33 pm
Jillyjill
Yay! What color?
8:33 pm
welki
min, go for the bigger wheels/rims - they look better, safety differences are minimal (talk to a tire guy)
8:33 pm
snags
is hopeful all goes well
8:33 pm
Jillyjill
Hi again snags
8:34 pm
Minveryork
I do not really care about looks, but I DO care about safety

8:34 pm
welki

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

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.
10:50 pm
Minveryork
