gooooood morning babbleland

9:13 am

BzznBea

good morning, hurshy

9:14 am

hurshy

how's everyone

9:16 am

hurshy

if that C were a B we'd have gazebo

9:16 am

welki

'morning, everyone (me, i'm still bummed out that i stopped in last evening and found out who won the jeopardy masters - it wasn't broadcast here until 9pm)

9:16 am

hurshy

Zs Zapped!

9:16 am

hurshy

sorry bout that welki

9:17 am

MollyL

That is too bad. People should be shush about those kind of things because of the different time zones.

9:17 am

welki

not the end of the world, but i'd been so careful not to read anything about it

9:17 am

hurshy

even though it wasn't me

9:17 am

hurshy

that's ironic because i do not know and i made no effort to avoid knowing

9:18 am

welki

heh - yeah, it is :)

9:18 am

rururocks

wasn't me either. I don't give a rat's ass about jeopardy

9:19 am

welki

i don't watch much tv at all, but i've watched it since i was a kid; i guess it's more habit than anything else

9:20 am

MollyL

It is hard to avoid stuff like that since people are talking about such things on so many different internet forums

9:20 am

rururocks

it's really ridiculous to me.. who has that kind of knowledge about everything like that..

9:20 am

hurshy

i never liked trebek. if they had replaced him sooner i might have gotten into it more. he was just so smug and patronizing sometimes when people got things wrong, like he would have known everything

9:21 am

MollyL

People who play Babble 😊

9:21 am

welki

point is that, the winner was revealed before i watched the show

9:21 am

welki

(and yeah, he was a bit smarmy)

9:21 am

rururocks

we'll start a go fund me thing for therapy for you welki :D

9:22 am

welki

thank you, ru - very kind gesture. i'm feeling better already :D

9:23 am

MollyL

I think that account would get set up on Go Fix Me 😊

9:25 am

rururocks

the go fund me things work better around here molly

9:25 am

rururocks

sort of

9:25 am

hurshy

phantom: agree

9:28 am

MollyL

Imagine how much money Nancy Boy could have made with Go Fund Me

9:28 am

rururocks

omg.. unlimited

9:28 am

rururocks

plus gift cards at target

9:31 am

hurshy

an 8! i found an 8!

9:33 am

MollyL

As was learned the hard way, tossing out money on this site can lead to unfortunate circumstances.

9:34 am

BzznBea

how much money do you think nancyboy made?

9:35 am

rururocks

I'm pretty sure that wasn't about money.. I don't think he asked for any here

9:35 am

MollyL

No, I was talking about the Mr. President collection

9:36 am

rururocks

but certain players here like wildcat should be banished forever

9:36 am

rururocks

dr god won't do crap about that

9:36 am

MollyL

And anyone who cashed in with Wildcat

9:39 am

hurshy

phantom: seaho5

9:41 am

BzznBea

i received a check for 2500 in the mail the other day. they wanted me to deposit the check in my account and within 24 hours, I was to purchase 1000 in gift card and send them the code on the back along with a picture of the receipt.

9:41 am

hurshy

yeah that's a fake check

9:42 am

MollyL

I wonder how long it would have taken that check to bounce

9:42 am

rururocks

that's an old scam

9:42 am

BzznBea

ya think

9:42 am

rururocks

I keep wondering why nigerian royal people keep wanting me to be in charge of their trusts

9:43 am

hurshy

your reputation as a trustworthy punster is worldwide

9:43 am

MollyL

You?? I thought they wanted me to be in charge of their trusts. I'm crushed.

9:43 am

rururocks

you guys have no idea of the millions I've turned down

9:44 am

hurshy

Hs Hacked!

9:44 am

origami

I wonder how many people fell for that Nigerian scam.

9:45 am

MollyL

It is truly frightening how many people fall for all the scams out there.

9:46 am

rururocks

I think Bethelda Tinklebottom kept forgetting I passed on her offers previously

9:46 am

MollyL

CNBC says the Nigerian one rakes in over $700,000 a year.

9:47 am

hurshy

man, we've got some happy birds in our yard

9:47 am

origami

Wow

9:48 am

Blissfully unaware of the three cats inside

9:49 am

hurshy

i'm sure there's plenty of other things that could kill them outside too, lol

9:49 am

origami

a pair of mourning doves!are nesting in a hanging spider plant on my covered patio. Talk about lazy!

9:50 am

BzznBea

they are a lazy bird

9:51 am

hurshy

what's wrong with that?

9:51 am

hurshy

birds don't need to have a puritan work ethic

9:52 am

rururocks

how do you water the spider plants ori?

9:52 am

origami

Oh, the spider plant is dead now :D

9:53 am

BzznBea

what do you think birds do when it rains? you can water plants with nestlings present.

9:53 am

hurshy

anyone got that lone S?

9:53 am

MollyL

Mourning doves are not all that bright either.

9:57 am
