sorry for the confusion, mountain girl
i would love for you to send a message to barney but i'm not sure it is barney. barney's usually more cryptic. he spent last spring going thru elonka dunin's book. he preordered it from amazon. he's a code freak. so why would he all of a sudden send me this "hi i'm okay" message that's kinda right out there in the open? i'm going to search for more signs of him today. i would love for it to be him but something doesn't seem right about it.
betty


Is this a hint that this book would be really useful to solve some of the code in this game?

 		Elonka's book is a book on cryptography. I have a copy, and I'm sure others here do too. My guess is that we're going to get some codes real soon-like.

i wish i knew more about the tall man too. i know he works for spoocheeeee but peeps once told me that he was "a friend". i find it confusing too. :/ but i can tell you that right before peeps went "black" (that's peep's jackal word for out of sight -- straight out of some cia novel. right?) anyhow, right before he went "black" he had addison contact his good friend, the tall man. addison contacted the tall man but was not allowed to reveal any details to the rest of us. as far as i know, the tall man is the one that helped peeps to the safe place he is right now. and now johnson has addison so we can't get the info about all these connections from him. if peeps would surface, it would help! and i was just saying to enaxor that i've been looking all day for something that says this is barney and not a trap. i'm going to look another hour or so and then i need to catch some crazeeeee zzzzzzzzzzzz's.

Get some sleep, I know you are 3 hours ahead of me so it is late now.
I'll check here early tomorrow morning and then later in the evening.

I hope it is Barney also (does anyone else have access to modifying
the source code on that page?). I think he or someone else looking
for you added a comment on the sammeeeees.blogspot also "Anonymous
said...
Betty? Where are you? 17:59" However, on that page, anyone can post a
comment so I don't know if that could be Mr AJ......don't post
anything on that blog you don't want him to see. MySpace would be
safe if he is not a member of your friends (and if none of his spies
are within your friends list).
Did Barney create any of his own webpages?

Big hugs and I hope you have good dreams tonight.

New development. Are you aware of this blog?
http://barneylovesbetty.blogspot.com/
Again, no code, just a phone number (in the source) and the link is to
a webcam. Would Barney know about this webcam location?

You mentioned finding the Tall Man - sounds like this is Timothy Mann,
someone who has been working for Mr AJ.
We found his blog: http://comemeetthetallman.blog.com/
and a YouTube page: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=MisterTimothyMann
Either he is secretly helping you guys (we think he is the one who
posted the warning message that was on Mr AJ's blog last week, and the
hidden message on here: http://thehistoryofpeeps.blogspot.com/
(missing letters in the mispelled words on the document). Or he is
trying to lure some of us into a trap.

Which brought me to another thought. Both Barney & Tutu are missing.
Any other sammeeeees having a missing friend or relative? If this is
the case, we need to make sure that Happy's son, Ben, stays out of
this mess. He insisted on going back home (instead of staying with
his Aunt Jayne). Do you know him or how to contact him directly? I'm
worried for him.

Sorry to keep filling up your mail box but you need to know that we

He's sending a message in the Cyndi Lauper fan forum. It says
TAKECAREOFTALLMAN A FRIEND FOREVER SC
Another friend has registered and is replying to him about meeting in
Santa Monica. Sounds like Peeps trusts Timothy Mann. Should we?

nice! okay.. i'm catching my breath! this rocks that you guys found peeps! i THOUGHT tall man was a friend! i just wrote to mountain girl and told her that peeps once told me tall man was "a friend" but i found it confusing because i know he works for spoocheeeee. this is awesome that we found peeps! i hate to sound completely paranoid (and you should know by now that i am), but are we sure it's peeps? let's just say it is peeps. i hope it isn't too risky for him to surface like this. we must protect him. any sammeeeees that you guys think might be chatting it up with johnson? protect this information, heather. let's talk about the tall man meet up tomorrow.

We've found peeps! Or at least Cyber peeps.

He's posted on the Cyndi Lauper forum. He sent a coded message about the tall man. It said, "Care of the tall man. A friend forever" The message below his is from me. The tall man has a blog and has conveyed through it that he wants someone to meet him on the Santa Monica Pier October 17 at 5:55 pm. I'm trying to confirm it with him, but so far he's not replied.

There is a coded message in my response to Peeps as well. It says, "Betty Loves Barney??" It alludes to Santa Monica and asks if he's going.

Blessings Abound,
Mountain Girl

 		I mentioned to Betty that I had a copy of Elonka's book and that a message had been left in Barney's blog.

Quote:
thanks, enaxor
yeah i did get the message. i am still searching for something that tells me this really could be barney. i'm coming up with nothing. why hasn't he left a message on wendy's service? he knows he can reach me eventually thru her. not sure what i should do yet. good to know that you have elonka's book. something tells me we will need it!

hey audioslave, thanks for the offer. Smile so much is going on with the sammeeeees right now, we can totally use your help. i don't know how much info you have but we're looking for my friend peeps right now. he surfaced (we think) last night on some cyndi lauper fan site. i have emailed him again and again on his myspace but i haven't heard back. he is probably being really careful. can't blame him. spoocheeeee has like 20 jackals searching for peeps with orders to bring him in dead or alive. i also heard from my boyfriend, barney (or someone pretending to be barney). barney's been missing for like a month now and to be honest i don't think this is him sending me the messages. he's hardcore with the secret code stuff. i'm playing this "wait and see what comes next". hope that helps you to see where we are.
and thanks for joining the sammeeeees.
betty


Nothing really new, there, I don't think

Message For Betty
I wrote to Betty this morning with the solve to the latest message posted to Barney's blog. Here's Betty's reply, as you can see she is suspicious.

Quote:

i just got an email from the tall man with a photo of the sm pier sign and a message. check out my flickr page.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/82562897@N00/266093374/



i did look at the photo of the man at foster freeze. i don't recognize him but i do remember happy saying she was being followed. we thought she was being nervous per usual. wonder who he is? i've been busy hunting for more clues to this barney contact. there's something new on the barneylovesbetty page that makes me think it must be johnson. bummer.

This is a picture of the sign at the beginning of the Santa Monica Pier (the one that leads down to the Boardwalk). To the Right of this sign are cannon(s), I've taken a picture there before.

This is probably a clue to the meeting place on Oct. 18 at 6:45PM.

To the Right of the SM Pier

There is an earthcam that shows the top of the pier.
www.westland.net/piercam/

The pictures on the blog comemeetthetallman.blog.com/ suggest walking down the pier and taking the stairs off the north side ("to the right" if you are facing the ocean).

Betty, flickr is a public forum. If Mr AJ is reasonably good with the internet (and he has to have some skills in order to post a hidden message in the source code of your blog) then he can easily find this page and Tall Man's photo/message to you - and set a trap if he knows you are coming back to the West Coast.

May I suggest that you set the photo to private - so only "Friends" can see it. And then accept contacts as you know them (and set their level to Friend) so the new Sammeeeees recruits can still see anything you post, but Mr AJ and his ilk cannot (i.e. Dante is the first one we know about).

I have already added you as a contact (and set you as a friend) so you can see stuff on my flickr that non-friends cannot (like the shredded message Ben found in Happy's trash and posted, I kept a copy and posted for only Friends to see).

Speaking of the shredded message - I think we have solved it.
We think it is: "the trail to the white roses runs through san francisco find white rose number 3 at peace mail."

There is a peacemail service through care2.com mail website (which is the free service that Mr AJ has been using) but there is a Timothy Mann profile there as well. www.care2.com/c2c/people/profile.html?pid=240869035
I haven't signed up for this yet, so I haven't been able to search for "white rose #3" yet. But I wanted to give you the heads up.


Sorry to rat you out Dante, but she has to know we're looking out for her (and your name *is* pointed out on Mr AJ's blog about the Five, so it's pretty obvious).

*shakes fist at you*

I'm just a jackal, I know it.

Actually I haven't received any new messages recently. All the action seems to have shifted to Ben/WhiteRose/Betty, and I'm out of that loop.

 		10/10 - The Shredded Message is from White Rose

Betty,

Don't trust any email from someone calling himself Dante. I think he
is in cohoots with Mr AJ. Why else would Mr AJ mention him by name on
this blog about our missing Sammeeeees:
http://letmeexplainthefive.blogspot.com/

Meanwhile, Ben found a coded message in Happy's shredder and posted on
her flickr page so we could try to decode it:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/60738841@N00/265665085/
Does it look like a message from Peeps or something you may have gotten?

I hope you sleep better tonight.

How are we going to keep Dante from looking at that picture? Laughing
