12:13 am

I was so happy that Italia won -- esp after that french player was so mean... we watched the whole match!

12:13 am

You'd be welcome, jemma. I wish I could visit Oz - my grandparents came from Sydney a longtime ago. I'm old.

12:13 am

brava italia - my dad's family is from Basilicata down south.

12:15 am

molto caldo indeed! we got up to about 26 a week ago... and that was about as hot as I could handle

12:15 am

Really melon-that's a lovely place!

how i keep track of celsius - 20 is 68 & 30 is 86 - got me thru Israel when i read the "tachazit mezeg ha'avir"

12:16 am

I can't stand the heat either

i hear it's very rugged - never been.

12:16 am

what is "tachazit mezeg ha'avir" melon?

12:17 am

i double fahrenheit - and add 30 (usually within 5 degrees

hi Lickety & thanks!

12:17 am

you should come here for a trip

i should.

debbie - close enough for govt' work as they say! F = C x 1.8 + 32 so it really is close enough.

12:18 am

more celsius - 4 is 40 - 16 is 61, 28 is 82

12:19 am

I think we should visit Jill and Hetty, then debb (Disneyland) then star and then mrp and Jemma and the rest of the down-underers... and finish at my place for MJCLs and a rousing game of scrabble.

joey - it runs both ways. had been taking a night class, been a bit lonesome simce it stopped. also i seem to get more done when someone's around.

12:40 am

understand both. I am about to have my house to myself for 12 days - first time since Christmas. Have made plans, but also wondering if I will talk to the walls.

she was - and a crossword puzzle doer 9in ink!), bridge player, UpWords maven, scrablle demon, boggle brain - i would have lost her to the 'net had she discovered Babble!.

12 days sounds about right. i hope you enjoy it. one thing i do is rent classic movies.

12:41 am

perve is definitely a word coz i am one!

we've been waiting for you, prez

1:10 am

why what's up?

1:11 am

oh cool! anything interesting I should know about? and who do you want out?

1:11 am

hi everyone

1:11 am

Hi all. I am here, being my usual blind self on the short words. I cannot find the en 5. Help plez

1:13 am

how appropriate, saph!

lol, they are plotting & schemeing ALL THE TIME - i can't believe it, this is ALL they talk about

there are 2 coices, you save $5 buy buying 3 months - i don't remember really somewhere in the $35 - 40 range - but you get a 72 hours free trial perios

1:14 am

Shalom everyone

i'm very tired can't even type correctly!

1:15 am

pls, not big bro 7.... ouch... was thinking of doing that again myself....

1:15 am

hello people... internet is apparently not a word... it's all an illusion!

hiya arb!

First word in the chatterbox? Sorry Jeremiah, I'm too new to know what that means.

right chic - i worry it will way interfere with my babble time, but i am listening to them whilst i babble right now!

1:16 am

seriously that is funny... internet not in the dictionary... its lost in cyberspace (which probably isn't a word either)

1:16 am

It tells you to do something- to en*** a word

right along with the jupiter II

1:17 am

that's funny, helen! I'm too easily addicted to stuff like that....

1:17 am

Oh, duh, I made a wrong turn. Thanks Jaianniah

1:17 am

i believe that's stun, isn't it?

1:22 am

Sten is a gun, but it's capitalised.

1:22 am

1:23 am

1:23 am

just changed my icon

1:24 am

very nice jil

1:24 am

it's a Canadian diamond

1:24 am

Well I don't like either of them and it makes sense to get rid of Alison first; but she's fun to watch...

1:24 am

es 5 is like en 5 only change the n to an s.

1:25 am

I looked and looked at that and couldn't figure out how to make it. Some days my eyes do not want to cooperate ... or is it my brain? Thanks

1:25 am

1:25 am

I know that feeling, Merk!

I am not finding the first ne 4,4 word. What am I missing?

1:38 am

LOL. :)

1:39 am

Is that the place where birds make their homes, merk?

1:40 am

No, it has to do with the tides- ne+ first vowel+ 16th letter, plus plural it, too...

1:40 am

Thanks, Jai. I didn't have that one yet, either. :)

gotta call it a night now - leaving 64 for tomorrow

1:42 am

Just started ;)

2:11 am

So you need 240 clues....let's see....

2:11 am

Merci Jai, mai je suis bon!

LOL Jai. Is the nine a real word?

2:12 am

The nine is a real word!

2:13 am

Absolutely, and is used commonly whenever people have disagreements, and others want to stop the problems, they...IN9

Well, I guess technically they are ALL real words - just some are realer than others!

2:13 am

Jai, can you help with 8 letter word , I have the se and the pa

Got it! Thanks Jai.

2:15 am

Pe8- the annoyer and in8- the newest doctor

2:16 am

YW! I didn't do anything!

2:16 am

jai...isnt the newest doctor a 6 letter?

Hey Jai - I got words that go with your definitions - but not eight letter words...

2:17 am

Just add two of the second vowel to the end of that one, rolin.

2:17 am

aaaah..thx...

Aaah - thanks here too! :D

2:18 am

No problem. :)

2:18 am

what... internet is not found in the dictionary.... how am I playing this game then????

2:18 am

thx, i will have to ponder on the annoyer

2:19 am

Andree, do you have pe 6/21?

LOL! Evil, that is just soooo wrong. We should campaign for internet inclusion.

2:19 am

If so, it's the person who does that.

2:19 am

andree...it sounds like youre stuttering at the end of the annoyer

2:19 am

great looking dog...evil

2:20 am

pe 8 = The person who does pe 6/21

2:20 am

no Eu but i haven't seen the list yet

2:20 am

thanks rolin. its not my actual dog, but I do have a chocolate lab

2:20 am

Ok. Start with a pe 4/5. An annoying insect or rodent.

2:21 am

Then build your way up.

2:22 am

I leave for two minutes, and you folks start blabbling away! LOL

2:22 am

Haha. We planned it!

2:22 am

i love labs.... i left a golden behind in aus when i came here..8sigh*

2:22 am

Matty, you are not the first [or last] on the subject of internet, can't beleive it

2:23 am

Aww. Labs are such pretty dogs.

2:23 am

I ADORE them , have a black lab rescued from a hurricane, named for the hurricne- Ivan.

2:23 am

that believe

2:23 am

Aww. How sweet!

2:23 am

my labs name is Mocha and is 8 months old, so still learning to be a good boy! lots of fun though

2:24 am

My other dog is from Katrina.

2:24 am

That's a sweet thing to do, jai!

2:25 am

I dunno...they spend a LOT of time wrestling.....LOL

2:25 am

evil..my puppy...despite having a pedegree as long as my arm.....failed puppy school..lol

2:25 am

I'd love to have another dog. Mine passed years ago. She was a cocker spaniel. Don't know if the cats would like the idea too much, though. ;)

2:26 am

Ivan is about the same....I also have rescued cats- three blind and seven altogether....I'm nuts....

2:26 am

hehe rolin. i was scared we were going to fail puppy school too, but we made it through. doing level 2 obedience now....

2:27 am

have 100 words, back to ? finish later

2:27 am

Nah. You just love animals! I've been rescuing the cats that live around the house. So far I've managed to convert two females to the life of an indoor cat. The males on the other hand... :P

Do you neuter the cats?

2:28 am

ok..im impressed...george was doing really well at the final presentation...until she got hot...and there were buckets around the perimeter.. she got close enough..stuck her head in a bucket..i laughed and she slipped from my hand...she ran around wih the bucket on her head..sent the other dogs beserk.......we were asked to leave...lmao

2:28 am

Yes! And they don't go outside- too many hunters like to practice on them...

2:29 am

LOLOL, Rolin!

2:30 am

Planning on it, when I have the money. One of the females is fixed, the other we haven't been able to take care of yet.

2:30 am

Oh, lovely, so you have "kitty chorus" like I do from time to time.....

2:32 am

Haha. The "kitty chorus" is coming up soon, I think.

2:32 am

We call it "burbling" or "having the burbles"....

2:33 am

But we only have eunichs in our harem.....

2:33 am

That's definitely what it sounds like. Eesh!

Male cats can father sooooo many kittens - and, of course, they are much harder to entice inside (and can spray as well)

2:34 am

I can do the most amazing inpersonations of cats in heat....

2:35 am

now that's a strange chatter to come in on......

2:35 am

A dubious talent

2:36 am

The males do like to prowl. In the process of taming one right now, though. Hi Blaze! :P

2:36 am

LingMAO!!!

2:37 am

We just rescued a lovely Tom from near death...to the tune of $300....

2:37 am

Hello to all... or should I say Meow !!

2:37 am

Good morning everyone

2:38 am

Morning Daily!

2:38 am

Hello, Blaze! And I should say, g.night! I have stayed up too long!

Howdie!

2:38 am

Need any clues b4 I go?

2:38 am

good morning everybody:)

I have a cat acquired from the Cats' Protection League - very friendly to people but hates other animals.

2:39 am

Jai! It's still morning, though! Just very, very early morning!

2:39 am

Evening or Morning all

2:39 am

That's the problem we're having with the two indoor cats right now. They refuse to get along. They've even divided the house in half.

Hi F!

2:40 am

Hello...and Good-bye! Have fun with this puzzle!

2:40 am

morning matty, good grid today albeit rather large.

2:40 am

Bye Jai!

I've got 129 - I have the nine, but still need two of the eights.

2:41 am

Which 2?

2:42 am

112 to go, got the 9 and missing 2 x 8 too! I have the in8 & p8 what have you got matty?

I have the same two eights, sadly LOL!

2:44 am

Jai can you tell us the 1st 2 letters of the 8's we are missing but no clues just yet thanks

Welcome!

I've got the pa7/32 - is the eight related to that at all?

2:53 am

wow got all the b's is that good!!! morning all x

2:55 am

Ugh, I haven't got anything over a 5 in the pa dept Morning M3, the b's are nice today.

2:55 am

There are two pa 7/32's. One is plural of pa 6/21, and the other you can plural to get the pa8/45.

I'm missing one b. Those last two eights are baffling me still as well.

Oh. I only have the plural of the 6/21

2:55 am

mitch build on yourpa 5 fo a 6 & 7

2:58 am

2:58 am

2:59 am

cheers chuck

3:03 am

Good morning all.

3:03 am

Morning Haz.

3:03 am

This looks like a benevolent grid - or are appearances deceptive?

3:04 am

I'd say it's pretty benevolent!

3:05 am

Morning Haz Babble had a bit of a hi-cup there! Good grid today, so far.

3:05 am

Technical problems with the site?

3:06 am

It threw up a couple of error messages so I had to refresh but seems OK now.

3:06 am

Yikes. I had that happen to me yesterday.

3:07 am

that happens to me all the time. !!

3:07 am

It had seemed to be operating quite smoothly - remember how often it crashed in the early days of the new layout?

3:08 am

Oh yes, how quickly one forgets.

3:09 am

I have got so intent on not typing words into the chatbox, that today I keep typing the chat into the word box!!!

3:09 am

And remember how we all protested at the new layout? Have you come to terms with the changes now?

3:10 am

Still preferred the way the chat log was before

3:12 am

F I R E W O R K S

3:12 am

Congrats ARB!

3:12 am

Congratulations ARB - now the fireworks ARE a good side of the new layout!

3:12 am

Congrats ARB

3:12 am

Me too, FMitch :)

3:13 am

This is a fun grid -- not too many wierd words -- or is it that I'm becoming more used to wierd words???

3:13 am

weird or wierd?

3:13 am

Hi Dianne, which bit the log layout or the paranoia LOL?

3:14 am

Both look strange

3:14 am

Speaking of paranoia, no return visits from loopy lupine?

3:15 am

Soooo funny FMitch - I typed my answer to you in the "add word" box. So I guess I was inadvertently referring to both!

3:15 am

Not so far, under any pseudonyms!

3:16 am

Happy days!

3:16 am

Got the day off and it a nice big grid :-) today I might even get fireworks for the first time since the world cup started!!

3:17 am

Lol Dianne!!! Morning KateW

3:25 am

my phantom word for the day is pervert!!

3:26 am

mine phantom word is prevent

3:27 am

rolin - I think that says something about the way our two minds work :-)

3:27 am

well im worried...lol

3:31 am

any 1 finding this puzzle easy ??

3:32 am

It is an easy grid compared to some.

3:32 am

i think it depends if you had a good nights sleep or not !!!

3:35 am

Helps to have a nice smattering of vowels and an s.

3:36 am

oh heck running late. have a good day all ! x

3:37 am

Bye M3.

3:38 am

Time for me to take a back seat with 89 left to find. Happy Babbling.

3:38 am

Have a good day FMItch - did you find the pa8?

3:39 am

I could not sleep, so now I have fireworks....LOL

3:39 am

No not yet but I will dig the little blighter out at some point.

3:39 am

Morning all! The first 70 went quickly - how many more am I looking for (besides that pa8, which I'm hunting down now)?

3:39 am

244

3:40 am

It's plural part of a horse's foot between fetlock and hoof. Structured as a combination of history and a popular babble fish.

3:41 am

Fish? Bird, I should have said.

3:41 am

Magic thanks Haz, as an ex horse owner as soon as you said it I saw it.

3:42 am

Glad you got it!

3:42 am

Isn't anyone going to say, "yay!" for me? :o(

3:43 am

Ahhhh, the babble bird gave it to me - thx, haz

3:43 am

Congrats Katrine, sorry missed you coming into the log!

3:43 am

Sorry - had to scroll back to find your post! Congratulations!

3:43 am

Yay Katrin - missed the post, sorry!

3:43 am

Ty- need clues?

3:44 am

3:44 am

I'm still on my first run through, but thanks for the offer.

3:45 am

Nite-nite, then.

3:45 am

Sleep well Katrine.

1 nine, 4 eight, sixteen 7

3:52 am

hmmm....*hunts some more*

3:57 am

having some trouble with the i's...

3:57 am

I don't know why they don't allow 'internet'!

3:57 am

I've only got 5 of the 15 so we're probably in the same boat.

3:58 am

it's a weird letter to start words with i guess.

3:58 am

the p's took me all of five minutes, on the other hand

3:58 am

they're all in- words, several of them plurals so not too hard once you get into them

3:59 am

i just hit a stride with them, thanks :)

Hello Everyone!!

4:05 am

Hi MrP!

4:05 am

Hello mrpresident - nice to see you!

4:05 am

morning mr p:)

Hello Haz, amanda marso et al! nice to see you all too!!

4:06 am

Hello, Mr. P. We were wondering why the word "internet" is not an acceptable word....

4:07 am

Are you still enjoying country living or have you returned to the city?

4:07 am

Wow, you're right, it's not! That is truly odd

that is too funny!! it is a word but it isn't in the dr_god dictionary... that is just amazing!!

4:08 am

I know- I think it is really bad when a word like "unthink" is a word, but not "internet".

Haz, I got home today!! Flew in at lunchtime! back to my wonderful house! and my 100Mbps!

4:09 am

Well, it sounds as thought you're glad to be home again. I'm sure lickety is pleased as well.

Oh Haz! I wish we were going to the ceremony, but it is 1,200km away and he would rather have a big party at home with his family around him... I am going to rent the robe and cap and insist he wear it to bed for a week though!!!

5:10 am

please

5:11 am

down the letter

5:11 am

kinsmann?

5:11 am

244 words total.

5:11 am

The numbers on the letters are just like in Scrabble. They determine how many points each word is worth.

5:11 am

Klinsmann, the German Football teams coach

5:11 am

5:12 am

aha ok, gracias

5:12 am

5:15 am

Lol, no. I just know a few words. Not enough to carry on a conversation, though. I can basically count and say hello/goodbye. :P

5:15 am

jajajajaja ok

5:15 am

Hi CLM!

5:19 am

Haz, I am new at this....what list are you referring to and how do I find it...

5:22 am

Lickety's Babble Clues, there's a link to it at the bottom of the page. Where it says: Friends of Babble.

5:23 am

and I'm off again, bbl to finish

5:24 am

Thanks, Euterpe

5:25 am

Welcome. It's a lot of help when you get stuck!

5:26 am

Hi, everyone. I am Buttonman and I upgrades to pro yesterday. I understand the stats at the bottom but where do you get the two letters and the stat combined....such as en 5/10?

5:27 am

I get it usually from Lickety's page. In the example you gave, the en would stand for the first two letters of the words, the 5 for the total number of letters, and the 10 for the total number of points that word is worth.

5:28 am

Thanks!

5:28 am

So in your example, the word starts with En, has 5 letters, and is worth 10 points.

5:28 am

No problem. :)

5:31 am

Euterpe, just found the list and thanks a bundle!

5:32 am

jajajaja i puts word that i don't know what they meants LOL

5:32 am

Glad I could help!

5:33 am

Haha! We all do, masfalda!

5:33 am

5:34 am

Some of these words don't seem like English sometimes! You definitely get to learn a lot of words by doing this. I can't imagine how hard this would be not speaking English as a first language!

5:35 am

Raygoddess, the word starts from the bottom right N if that helps...

8:14 am

think of the sound european police and ambulance make..... And no, you are not stupid. That clue is more for those of us who have encounter the thing in past puzzles. Just like the Hawaiian white guy 'haole'....

8:14 am

got it , sorry I am dull today

8:14 am

no, raygoddess... once you get this, you will spot it lots of future grids... (-:

8:16 am

Hi Babblers :)

8:16 am

Incredible, the myriads of completely useless words we learn from babble.

8:16 am

hi, faerie..

8:16 am

...except the volcano. I ALWAYS miss the volcano. Evidently i'm not destined to be a vulcanologist...

8:16 am

Hi Faerie...

8:16 am

{{{{{{faerie}}}}}}

8:16 am

The vulcano is in practically every grid, so of course you miss it when it is missing :)

8:16 am

{{{{Shorty}}}} Hi!!!!

8:17 am

ok, i am storing it away for future reference... but i am confused... after the duck word there's an ne5/10, i thought it would be the plural, but it isn't...

8:17 am

hi sprite.. I DO miss that volcano!

8:17 am

hi faerie! Raygoddess if it's any consolation -I must have entered that word 20 or 30 times since last Oct. & I still always have to wait for a clue!

8:17 am

OMG {{{{ANJ}}}} HI!!!!!

8:17 am

Hi faerie!

8:17 am

LOL

8:18 am

Hi Sprite !!

8:19 am

Thank BJ so do I LOL wish they were all mine ;)

8:19 am

Yes, and the comparative seagull

good morning all!

8:22 am

Diamonds ewww just something else to clean lol, Hi everyone!!

8:22 am

I want the REAL THING

8:22 am

If 'overt' would be in the grid, would it be a valid english word? Or is it only dutch?

8:22 am

howdy, M3

8:22 am

ya, but you only have to clean it once.

8:22 am

A family friend has just had an op to remove those. He's just spent the night covered in maggots to cleanse the wound. I kid you not... : s

8:22 am

Diamonds ewww just something else to clean lol, Hi everyone!!

8:22 am

8:22 am

I'll take the Diamonds that M3 doesn't want

8:22 am

8:23 am

LOL Anj! I know the feeling - having said that he's just made a cup of tea so life isn't all bad! BRB

8:23 am

Clean diamonds with maggots? Now that's something.

8:23 am

Overt is a normal word as far as I know Sprite...

8:23 am

Thanks, Anj!

8:23 am

I've bought several diamonds from pawn shops so BJ you are correct LOL

8:25 am

the pe8/45 anyone?

8:26 am

the one who bugs you, raygoddess

8:26 am

RayG, builds on the pe6/21 - to annoy someone incessantly

8:26 am

First time in my life I hear myself say I want 'perverts'.

8:26 am

8:27 am

LOL sprite! I thought that too!

Then change last letter into a vowel.

8:34 am

wtg, raygoddess.. I need some bagel power..bbl

8:35 am

ty....where do they get these words?

8:36 am

They are listed in the most stupidhead, obsolete, unlogical and unusable collection of all times... the enable dictionary.

8:36 am

well said sprite :)

8:37 am

I'll second that!

8:37 am

...hasn't anyone poked Enable with a cattle prod yet?

8:37 am

8:49 am

8:51 am

okay, down to 17 and have to go to wotk.. have fun!

8:51 am

bye raygoddess

8:51 am

bye raygoddess

8:52 am

could i get a clue for the or 4/4 and the ov 7/56 please?

8:52 am

omg, we are in trouble. I just read the words "no idea where to find them" from SPRITE! If she can't, nobody can :)

8:52 am

se5/10: hot shining objects in the sky, change vowel + another vowel se5/10: first 3 letters are the same + first 2 letters of fatigued.

8:52 am

buttonman - ov7 -opp of under & opp of old

8:53 am

ch1212: :P !!

8:53 am

sprite, do you have the re4/5 that refers to what happens when you don't make car payments?

8:53 am

..Man! That's a favourite flick of mine : )

8:53 am

Yes, got that one, thanks though :)

8:54 am

ok

8:55 am

*promises herself she can use lickety's list if she can't find the last 4 in 10 minutes*

8:55 am

sprite do you have the 2 p's that sound like a minister?

8:55 am

they are a 6/7 combo

8:55 am

Lol, the constantly annoying ones? (sorry, couldn't resist)

8:56 am

no, but change the first vowel in those

8:56 am

I think so... Pa6/21, 7/32, 8/45 and 7/32 combo?

8:58 am

Can I get a clue for the first se 5/10? I just can't see it.

8:58 am

I was thinking just the pa 6/21 and pa 7/32 but clearly you have (as usual) surpassed my best thinking! :D

8:58 am

snowy, I don't get it...I have the first four letters of the ov opposite of under but i don't get the rest!

8:58 am

se5/10: hot shining objects in the sky, change vowel + another vowel se5/10: first 3 letters are the same + first 2 letters of fatigued.

8:59 am

buttonman, if you didn't buy it used, it must be ***

8:59 am

Buttonman, put the opposite of old on the end of the ov word. It's ridiculous, but it works.

8:59 am

button: those first 4 letters + happy *** year.

9:00 am

Oh - i'm so slow replying! Hi Haz

9:00 am

Okay, lickety says I am missing the last 2 Tr-words. Found the Ps, finally.

9:05 am

Euterpe: perhaps this: fabulous, great, outrageous, S....tional!

9:05 am

That did it ch1212. Thanks!

9:05 am

9:06 am

9:06 am

9:06 am

9:07 am

9:07 am

enable is disabled

9:08 am

hi dorens

9:08 am

featherbee: it is like the one before, put in (!) another consonant.

9:08 am

it's possible to spend only 15 minutes here...and have the self-control to walk away no matter what

9:08 am

I think enable is dyslectic as well.

9:08 am

LOL Haz -I can remeber then too!

9:08 am

no, dorens. It is not. (I say flatly) :)

9:08 am

Sure it is, dorens. Only not for you, lol.

9:09 am

dorens, you need me to boot you out again at a certain time?

9:09 am

haha///my reputation is at stake...at 10:20, i will leave

9:09 am

hi and bye

Why can't I have internet????!!!!

9:15 am

The internet is only an illusion, apparently. :P

9:15 am

cause the PHANTOM says so

9:15 am

yw and cause no one can Becca it is not in dictionary

9:15 am

Replace the last letter of that word with a vowel and you have in8/40 (compensation)

9:16 am

It's compensation for not being allowed internet - that's not what it means!

Thanks, Haz, that makes me feel better

9:16 am

both ro 5/16s are the the same as 2 of the prs (one 5 & one 6 ) buttonman -just take off the p

9:16 am

ro5/16 - another name for a dog

9:16 am

the other ro5,16 change only the last letter

9:16 am

Button - 2nd ro5/16 - classic dogs name or car or someone who walks around a lot

9:16 am

ne5/10? it's eluding me.

9:16 am

(4 minutes left dorens!)

9:17 am

9:17 am

oops, ok, how about the first 5/10 then? i have the other

9:17 am

ne5/10 it's an anagram of re5/10 - payment for a house

9:18 am

9:18 am

Good Morning, all. I've been sitting here trying to see how many words I can get before caving in to look at the list.

10:06 am

aloy, if you have a digital camera you could snap a photo and share!

10:06 am

we see mainly buzzards

10:06 am

awe how beautiful

10:07 am

that would be good

10:07 am

Sorry about that. I thought I was typing in the add word box. Can't do two things at once!! ROFL

10:08 am

I have a digital camera, but it does not have a telephoto lens; I gave up on taking bird pics..;-(

10:09 am

ah well, your descriptions are also pretty visual

10:09 am

Awesome Aloy. Wish I had a wooded area around my house. I have bird feeders, though.

10:09 am

the hawk is on the top of a dead tree.. still preening, as the wind ruffles its wing feathers

10:10 am

You should be a writer, Aloy.

10:10 am

sorry to interrupt, but hello again. any clues for the 8s or 9 please?

10:10 am

we all wish we could see it now LOL

10:11 am

10:12 am

hurray for euterpe.. back to the grid for me! (still keeping an eye on that hawk)

10:12 am

the in8/40 is a term describing people held in prison without trial -- also describes what Japanese-Americans were called when the U.S. put them into camps during WWII.

10:12 am

Thanks, Tiny. Didn't have that one!!

10:12 am

congrats euterpe!

10:12 am

internet is not accepted????

10:12 am

10:14 am

what's strange, shorty? Like your icon, btw

10:15 am

thanks,that internet is not accepted

10:15 am

Yes, what irony, given this is an internet game!

10:15 am

Hi all - back to finish. Katrine, didn't you finish hours ago?

10:15 am

se 8?45 is a place boats go to

10:15 am

true,true

10:16 am

Yes, I was on earlier this morning, and asked Mr. President why that was so- and he said "Hunh! That's strange!" too!

10:16 am

Tiny, you're getting me there. Thanks!

10:16 am

pe 8?45 is some one who is always being a nuisance

10:16 am

ANother one from Tiny. thx

10:17 am

ty ty Tiny. Do you have the last 8? please please please

10:17 am

erns

10:18 am

add an 'e' at the end, too, Tiny.

10:18 am

Yes, amandcath, I finished hours ago, but I didn't want to be blatant and say, "Well, I'm finished and am here to give clues!" but I gues that is what I should have said!

10:19 am

in 8/40 is in6/18 one wh works in a hospital +two vowels

10:19 am

thanks charm

10:20 am

I think you already gave that one, Tiny.

10:20 am

that's a new one for me Tiny. Never heard of that word.

10:20 am

Oh go on, be blatant Katrine!

10:20 am

41 left and need a little break - bbl

10:21 am

see ya later ch1212

10:21 am

later ch1212. thanks for the help

10:21 am

LOL< amandacath! I will be from now on! Besides, all I got at 3:30 in the morning was ignored by the British LOL

10:22 am

in 8/40, pa 8/45, pe 8/45, se 8/45 that is the four which one do you need charm

10:23 am

the pa8/45 please?

10:23 am

thanks Tiny

10:24 am

don't usually jump in here, but something very odd: I've got a 9 letter word (in*) which we all know and love -- and are using right now -- that isn't being accepted as a word. Is this right?

10:24 am

Wal-paper hanger+en + plural

10:24 am

think of patterns but change third letter

10:24 am

yes greenery

10:24 am

greenery -- if that word is 'internet' you are right :)

10:25 am

although being mathmatically challenged I just realized that word only has 8 letters.

10:25 am

As I said, I told Mr. President himself, and he is going to look into it...

10:25 am

yep, greenery that's right, or wrong, depending on how you look at it. Strange, isn't it?

10:25 am

okay, I was supposed to be taking a little break :D back later!!! (tears self away from keyboard)

10:25 am

Now, that's just perverse. Not accepting internet -- and you're right about the count. Sorry.

10:26 am

the pa 8/45 is plural of the pa 7/32 which has to do with the anatomy of a horse's foot... (I think.)

10:26 am

in is tb someone who tries to help in a fight yuo in*******

10:26 am

well, it could have been pl, IF it was accepted :-(

10:27 am

I suppose if one wanted to get technical, it could be said that it is the Internet- with a capital letter- and that maybe is why it is not included....but if unthink is a word, then "interente" should be, too....

10:27 am

ERSTE

10:27 am

I was really slow on the uptake on that pa! Thanks for all the clues.

10:27 am

that's internet....

10:27 am

oh

10:28 am

sometimes I think I should keep a running list of the words that enable SHOULD include, but then I wonder... what's the use?

10:28 am

Hi aloy!

10:29 am

howdy, amanda - wie gehts?

10:29 am

gut, danke! 'Cept I've got 65 words to go and don't want to go to the list yet...

10:31 am

I hit the list at 39 words to go, but it took me so long to get that far that I probably should have done so sooner.. (-: The hawk flew away, so now I'm down to 36..

10:31 am

Got the pa words Euterpe. Excellent clue. thx

10:31 am

ummm, the hawk?

10:32 am

what sort was it, Aloy?

10:32 am

yes, I was watching a young red-shouldered hawk that lit on a branch outside my window. Preened itself for quite a while... lovely sight..

10:32 am

hi ata! Ahh, that hawk!

10:33 am

I'm a bird nerd as well as a word nerd

10:33 am

har har!

10:33 am

I'm a bird nerd, too, Aloy.

10:33 am

Where do you live Aloy?

10:34 am

yay for bird nerds!

10:34 am

Ok all it is time for this little babbler to go to bed Hubby is whinging so Good Night all hop to finish tomorrow

10:34 am

10:34 am

thx for all your help Tiny. Nitey, night.

10:34 am

10:34 am

nighty night, Tiny!

10:34 am

I'm from PA. Do you keep a life list?

10:35 am

yes.. I think it has about 220 species listed

10:35 am

Is one of the v-words a strange one? The three I have are normal...

10:36 am

I can't remember how many I have. I think I hit 300.

10:36 am

wow..

10:37 am

yes, amanda--one is what you count at election time but delete the middle consonant

10:37 am

The vO you are missing rhymes with to4/4

10:37 am

hi amanda :)

10:37 am

That was it! Thanks Une - nice necklace!

10:37 am

es5/10: the smelly compound returns today!

10:37 am

Morning everyone..

10:42 am

hi leigh and TO.. jewelry?

10:42 am

hey, TO! jewelry!

Hi TO

10:42 am

back I am. The theme is jewelry, TO

10:42 am

Hi TO, leigh! I found a fish!

gee... i hate jewelry...never wear the stuff...

sore

Hmmmm...jewelry, is it? *wanders off*

10:43 am

I'm with you, TO -- I wear my wedding ring and that's about it.

10:44 am

oh jewellwey! *refresh*

yes but i am definitely KIDDING!

10:44 am

did I mention that u still can't quite make tsetse?

10:44 am

Oh! I am not :D

10:45 am

jewelry!

10:45 am

or presto, Uncagain! :-)

10:45 am

:D Good on BryanC!

10:45 am

bryan, LOL!!

10:45 am

had to go with Mr. T

10:46 am

we should definitely have a bling day!

10:46 am

yeah, 'bling-bling' would be a funny theme

10:47 am

i pity da fool who don't finish this puzzle!

10:47 am

what is the first ne 4/4 please x

10:47 am

ROFL BryanC

Zales doesn't have the ring I want anymore......this one will have to do for a pic.

10:47 am

got it lol

refresh!

10:48 am

the Hawaiian goose we always get, M3

10:48 am

Oooh, pretty ring, templeowl

i tried it on

10:49 am

seriously?

seriously. ross-simons.

10:51 am

Which o am I missing?

10:51 am

Wow. I too tried on this ring (the smaller one). My beloved and I designed them on the computer then had a jeweler make them out of white gold. The photo doesn't do them justice.

10:51 am

amanda, do you have three variations on "not closed"?

10:51 am

amandacath, do you have the o7?

it's truly slovely

10:52 am

ov7/56 too fresh

10:52 am

That's it, ch1212 - *goes hunting*

10:52 am

ch1212, same beginning plus not old

10:53 am

it's a bizarre word -- see gramma's clue, amanda. (I already had it, but thanks all)

oh that is just a stupid head word

10:54 am

That's ridiculous! Especially since it won't take e4/7+op4/5 - I tried. Also the neg.

10:54 am

yep, TO, it was greatly maligned earlier :-)

10:54 am

But thanks, just the same.

truth be told, une...i prefer the hand crafted in jewelry...i like your necklace

10:56 am

why isn't "internet" allowed?

10:56 am

oh please. INTERNET is not in the dictionary?

10:56 am

oh, me too, TO--I swoon at the artisan booths at our juried craft fairs

10:56 am

lol, carrie -- good timing

10:56 am

Hi everyone.......I've seen it all now.......the word internet is not acceptable!!!

The Internet is a name, isn't it?

10:56 am

remember, ENABLE is an OLD dictionary

10:57 am

I wonder if it's really internal-net?

10:57 am

Hi Flask1 -- your icon is beautiful.

10:57 am

means connecting networks

10:57 am

I'm still looking for the ov7 word - most fresh or something?

but a canary diamond? ans it's on sale, too!

10:57 am

oh thankyou ch1212

10:57 am

ov (what you bake in) plus not old

10:58 am

matty = opp of under + opp of old.

10:58 am

matty, it's ov4/7 + not old

10:58 am

my pic is now a looooong string of pearls one of my good friends got me for my birthday - they are so gorgeous and PINK!

10:58 am

ch1212, wrong ov4 :-)

did i hear there is a fish in this puzzle?

10:59 am

gorgeous indeed, ata!

yes they are o0

10:59 am

yes there is, TO!

11:00 am

Is there a U.K. version of Babble?

11:00 am

...but I only knew it was a fish after I looked it up

11:00 am

oops, you're right une -- sorry! Atalante, your pearls are gorgeous! TO picked out a ring she has tried on, and I'm using rings my beloved and I designed (photo doesn't do it justice). Wonder how many more of us are featuring our own stuff today?

LOL flask! there ought to be!

11:00 am

Oooh - and here I was looking for youth ;)

Mine is similar to what I hope to get as an engagement ring.

11:00 am

This is it, Flask1 - all English-speakers are united here

11:00 am

I love pearls cos I'm so allergic to most metals its really hard to wear much else!

11:01 am

what ring TO!

11:01 am

It would certainly make a big difference.....or...use a more UNIVERSAL dictionary!!

lovely, lee!

11:01 am

pretty, leighprefect! Btw, I laughed so much when I read your bio -- you could be a writer if the psychology doesn't work out ! :D

judy: i'm near philly where are you?

ch-Thank you. =)

11:02 am

wow. This is a fast one. 10 minutes and I've got 74 words.

11:02 am

I actually find the dictionary a bit UK-biased - there's an awful lot of Scottish words in it

11:02 am

TO, I'm about 90 miles northwest of Philly - Schuylkill Haven.

I like your rings, btw. Too square for me to wear, but they're great, and that's awesome that you designed those with your husband

11:03 am

Ah but wait till you get to those last few, KJS :) I've got 11 to go and just plodding, plodding

ah...the old pottsville-reading line?

11:03 am

thanks, leighprefect :) - we had lots of fun doing them. Each symbol means something to both of us.

Really? That's so neat..

11:04 am

You got in TO. I am working in Reading right now.

i lived in phoenixville when those trains ran

11:04 am

Afternoon all......How are you feeling today leigh?

11:09 am

Hi Caitlyn!

Hi, Caitlyn. Pretty okay. I slept horribly last night, but it wasn't because of the pain. In fact, I don't know why I slept that bad. But I just had a Jello pudding for lunch. I'm surviving. =) How are you today?

11:11 am

There is only one possible sn4/6

11:12 am

one of the pa 7 is your pa 6/21 with a consonant at the end

11:12 am

I typed that in and typed it in and typed it in. NOW it works. go figure.

Hehe. Well that's a very neat icon you've got. Yours, or just one you grabbed?

11:12 am

11:19 am

atalante there all fish worthy for me lol

11:23 am

se7, 8 I mean and hi everyone!

11:23 am

Hi Becca

hi muse, becca

is that pa 8 p + as6/18?

11:24 am

think so

11:24 am

all right. later everyone. Have to get my Monster Baby from camp.

11:24 am

Sure is TO

11:24 am

in 8/40 - what a Japanese-American was called during WWII when he/she was put in a camp pa 8/45 - take your 4/5 (before now), add an e, then add an r, then another consonant, then plural (that's lots of words there) pe 8 - one who bugs you constantly se 8 - combo word - the ocean + where boats go

Bye Charm!

bye charm

11:24 am

Hi muse Bye charm

11:24 am

nice ring, leigh... did you get engaged?

11:24 am

make it plural

well then i have two of four... : /

No, not yet. But that's the ring I want!

11:24 am

that should give you all the 8's plus some

11:26 am

hhehee

11:26 am

poor guy!

11:26 am

Second ap 5/12 anyone?

11:26 am

Temple Owl, that pa 8 is a weird word, not the as 6 you are thinking of, but close. Think of a minister, then add a consonant to it, then plural

11:26 am

WOW i have just had a bunch of hunky men run past my window (training for football i think)

ty i have them now...phantom word "entree"

11:27 am

a + where a boat goes when it comes to shore

Nah, it's not so bad! The one in my icon now is 1,499. The one I really want is platinum, and that's only 1,999! =)

11:28 am

nrkii, you around?

Presicely, Onyx!

11:28 am

Got the 8's, thanx ch......

walnut- That's NUTS. I could never do that. They might be nice, but this one fits me just fine...

11:28 am

y/w mm

And I didn't mean Onyx, before, I meant ch....sorry!

mine was all of 20 points ...

11:29 am

words every where this puzzle is fun!

Save the other 14,000 in my opinion, and use it towards a house or something!

11:30 am

True Onyx, but i've run out of them. I'm stuck!

11:30 am

precisely leigh i didn't want to be the one to say it

11:30 am

Yeah, I agree with you leigh! although, there are quite a few high maintenance gals out here in the bay area!

11:31 am

I'm with you, leigh! A rock's nice and all, but that's a bit OTT

11:31 am

hey watch it about the bay area girls

11:31 am

btw, why is internet not a word?

11:31 am

tahts what we are on right now so that we can play babble!

11:31 am

ironic, huh walnutchen?

well mine didn't do much for me in the divorce...i guess it's all relative...if the guys's lawyer or in that salary range...

11:32 am

ch1212: yeah...

11:32 am

well, I've got to get some work done ... happy hunting!

Bye ch!

bye, ch!

11:32 am

Bye ch

11:32 am

see ya ch!

11:33 am

onyx - u know its true! the gals in the bay area gets their pick of the guys around.... naturally, the high number of guy/gal ratio makes the competition more intense.

11:33 am

anybody have a clue?!?!?!

11:33 am

I'm missing an ap5/12. It's one of the two that come together. Help please!!

hm...maybe i should move there...

11:34 am

thus, the outrageous rings, nice cars...(from the guys - all to get the gals!)

11:34 am

What do you need a clue for chrisp?

TO- I was just thinking that....

11:34 am

i guess i travel in different circcles

for the second as5/12, Rough; rugged; harsh; bitter; stern; fierce. [Archaic]

11:35 am

it still won't take ents

or just change the last letter on the other one! : D

11:36 am

well, I give in. 48 left, but I'm going home now. Bye all

11:36 am

Minski have you got the sp4/5 cos there is a pl of that

the ti's before the "tatas" start lika tata, all have to do with calibrating/alt spellings. too.at

12:30 pm

Minski, it's a weird one meaning to foretell--but it sounds kinda like what you do to a cat to keep her from reproducing.

12:31 pm

Its the one I clued then Minski

12:31 pm

not done, unfortunately! I'm only really getting into now after having to fight my way through the Canterbury crowds all morning!

THanks. I was being dyslexic and switching the last 2 letters of the sp4 so I couldn't figure out how to pluralize it. Got it.

12:32 pm

i have 12 ti words before breasts, am i missing one? it is making me crazier

12:32 pm

...and as long as we're talking about the sp's, I'm missing one of the last two 6/21s--I have the plural one.

12:32 pm

Baby and I have a million errands to run and of course it is pouring. To make things worse I'm pretty sure that our raincoats are in the car which is parked in the street at the end of our driveway.

pure, if you click the ? beside it, you will get several definintions. But please don't type words into the log. (At least, not on purpose!)

1:51 pm

*log Ok typing is falling apart.

1:53 pm

hi GW! bye GW! : )

1:53 pm

Hi and Bye GW

1:53 pm

But what it really comes down to, pure, is never look for logic in the choice of words allowed or disallowed. We are all continually baffled by the Enable dictionary used to generate the acceptable list.

1:54 pm

vicarious thrills

2:40 pm

Champagne flavored cake.... MMMMMMMmmmmm...

2:40 pm

mmmmm.... i'm going tomorrow for my passpo4/5

2:44 pm

lola, heck yes! TO, well, its about seven inches tall, dense, dark, and lucious. It's baked with Guinness, so the cake isn't overtly sweet, just decadent. Then the frosting is made with Bailies... Last year on my birthday, we got whole one... I had the most awesome week of cake consumption ever.

and the flavoring?

2:45 pm

4:52 pm

I'm glad you came online now - I was just about to go off to bed :) I've been trying to phone your hotel but they aren't answering *SIGH*

4:52 pm

oh golly i'm afraid i haven't anything traditional and english.

4:52 pm

lol you're not meant to - you're american!

4:52 pm

yeah turns out the cumberland is kinda weird. i don't recommend it.

4:53 pm

the first room they put us in had no AC

4:53 pm

they hadn't asked us for a credit card imprint but we couldn't use the phone at all or the internet without doing that

4:53 pm

LOL! the Dixie Chicks complained about no AC at the Natural History Museum!

4:53 pm

so where shall we meet - at the hotel still?

4:54 pm

yes if that's good for you

4:54 pm

i'm in room 8006

4:55 pm

ok - I'll try and get there about 9:30 - 10:00 - depending on transport issues!

4:55 pm

sorry everyone else, i would do this on AIM but don't have access to it right now

4:56 pm

let's ask Dr G for a Babble chat room!

4:56 pm

sounds good! hopefully my neck will behave. i slept on it funny last night and it's quite painful now.

i've asked dr. g for private chat - he said he thought it would be over-kill

4:56 pm

owie!

4:57 pm

Do you know why HK can't drive?

4:57 pm

no way. it wouldn't be over-kill. some of us (ie me!) only come in to chat nowadays! lol!

?

4:57 pm

it would be perfect!

4:57 pm

uh oh, troll alert

babbler - that's what i told him!! we exchanged a few e-mails on the topic - but he was rather adamant

4:58 pm

not too sure about that yet babbler, i think more age alert. some days it's better than others with that one.

4:58 pm

doc is an adamant fellow

4:58 pm

:'( we should beg and beg and beg. or just chat in the chat log and get lots of other people to beg on our behalf1

4:58 pm

oh golly

i tried to argue the case for outside chat, i am not one to give up easily - alot of gaiming sites have it, it's a very nice feature - maybe if others asked too *hk crosses fingers*

4:59 pm

ah, ok, featherbee. haven't been in for ages, so I don't know. : )

4:59 pm

we'd be pseudo-trolls ourselves

4:59 pm

ok laundry is going and coffee is brewing - anyone need clues - hi hursh & atalante

4:59 pm

yes, if others asked too...?

4:59 pm

hi saphyre, and everyone else

4:59 pm

i know, it actually is a tough call with that one babbler!

4:59 pm

that's why we need our own chat room, hurshy ;)

4:59 pm

an email petition maybe?

4:59 pm

right, I'm off to bed ... hurshy, I'll phone you if the trains are horribly late or whatever. otherwise I'll see you 9:30-10:00. thanks for the chat Babs, and maybe see you too! and hi and bye to everyone else!

4:59 pm

debb????

4:59 pm

but how many of us asked for a post button to fix the accidental posting prob and he didn't go for that

ahem - i believes the good doctor's e-mail is at the bottom of this page

5:00 pm

debb, doing the double identity thing again?

5:00 pm

ok, sounds good ata, night

5:00 pm

how many words are possible?

5:00 pm

yeah, dogs are okay, the little one thinks she can take on the big one -only a 97 lb difference between them, lol

5:39 pm

i swear, dogs have no concept of their own size

5:39 pm

in 5/10 the last: the first part of something that gets you ready for the rest; in***duce someone to your parents

5:39 pm

we have the same situation here, helen!

the little pom plays kinda rough, the shepherd tolerate her very well, but sometimes i worry she may push it just a bit too far

5:39 pm

thanks stidmama

then you both know what i mean

5:40 pm

it was busy at work today finished at 5 then had a 60th birthday to go to hence thats why im late.

5:40 pm

mine is a medium sized border collie mix, who thinks she's a toy dog, perfect for cuddling in my lap

5:40 pm

not your birthday oggy? hope you aren't too tired (parties always make me a little exhausted)

5:41 pm

ooh, are you an introvert on that thing stid?

5:41 pm

my shepherd is sure he's a lap dog --- the little one thinks she's a guard dog...

5:41 pm

VERY introvert, feather! scared to death of "real" people!

ginger- the pom -plays what i call 'the eek-eek game' she started it with our med. size rescue dog who is rather stoic to begin with - she just stands on her hind legs, puts her paws on the bigger dogs face & makes this god-awfull ee-eek screechy noise, like someone is killing her - it always freaks out the company, but it's pretty funnny

lol feather, yeah that's how the shepherd is too, a little lap dog :)

5:42 pm

stid im not quite that old yet im only 53yr old

5:42 pm

ha, me too! i hate making phone calls to people i don't know, like to make an appt, or ask a question of someone in a store

5:42 pm

I didn't think you were oggy -- though I know your children are grown... it's hard to judge a person's age from the chat log.

5:42 pm

the eek eek game, how funny!

5:44 pm

Buffy, squeals rather frequently, but that's because the "galoot" keeps stepping on her. he's not much of a gentleman.

5:44 pm

my children are 34,33 and 25. the other half is 57

5:44 pm

so

people are always like, "is your dog okay?" -real concerned like, lol

5:44 pm

can someone help me with the te 6/18 and te 7/28 combo ?

5:44 pm

well I am glad I am not the only one, feather! It's embarassing explaining to people that I can't make phone calls but I can stand in front of a crowd and sing...

5:44 pm

ok, i'm going to go pick up daniel's room and put his laundry away from earlier...earlier this week...

buffy is our female shepherds name !!!!

5:45 pm

te 6/18: more te 5/10 (uptight), then "plural" sorta

5:45 pm

i think i use up all my people time at school! i can be in front of 20 6 year olds without a problem, but ask me to say something at a faculty meeting? *shudder*

5:45 pm

the 7/28 is the "the most" te 5/10

5:45 pm

ok, bbl

the second te combo is what yopu call people who blow up trains & twin towers

5:46 pm

I do people in small numbers best -- three or four adults is about my limit for conversation.

see ya later feather - fun racing, as always :)

5:46 pm

5:46 pm

5:48 pm

stid, it's okay -- I went to the doctor and they said it has healed but will keep bothering me a few more days

5:48 pm

nrkii's hint: run away very fast!

5:48 pm

nrk - they are the ones that you can't see

5:48 pm

LOL... okay, I am glad you went to have it checked out. did they give you something for the discomfort?

peri - a man's name with an extra vowel

5:49 pm

st 6/27: a man's name with a double middle vowel

5:49 pm

yeah helen,scratched cornea

5:50 pm

thansk stid, got it with your clue

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

I only went because I wanted to be sure it wasn't going to get infected

5:50 pm

smart nrikii!

5:50 pm

nite all. its bedtime.

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

5:50 pm

debb, usually I am not that way -- but eye stuff scares me

5:51 pm

st 5/12 is plural the things that go up to a doorway.

5:51 pm

good night oggy! sleep well!

5:51 pm

I fell a couple years a go and I swear I tore ligaments in my foot, but never went to the doctor -- just limped for 4 months

5:51 pm

i couldn't agree more - eye things are scary

5:52 pm

okay, I think I'll grab the lickety list now... 30 to go

5:53 pm

I have 24 and struggling with the S words at the moment

5:53 pm

go debb go!

nrkii - i had that one time after a windy day - what really helped was an ointment they gave me to put in at bedtime, because overnight the eye would dry up & when i opened it first thing in the am, would reinjure the tear - did they tell you that?\

5:53 pm

st 5 12 = throat infection

5:53 pm

and then same but change the vowel

5:54 pm

thanks nrkii

5:54 pm

no helen, they said corneal abrasions heal within 24 hours, and they looked at my eye under a special light and said it had already healed -- they just want me to put drops in (regular drops) and I already do that

5:55 pm

okay, taking a break. back in a while.

MMW - if you go to Angelsongs link below you can get Licetys List up as well as Babble - use the Side Bar

6:38 pm

mamawa, I shrink the list to be a narrow band on left side of screen, and keep the main babble page taking up the middle and right -- keeps me from having to toggle

6:38 pm

Lynxxx Thanks

7:09 pm

7:09 pm

7:09 pm

7:10 pm

see you faerie, you know we'd really help if we could!

7:10 pm

I work hard, I deserve it.. **trying to justify it to himself**

7:10 pm

what airline bambam?

7:10 pm

later faerie, wish I really could be there. {{hug}}

7:10 pm

way to go Min! ask away...

7:11 pm

Singapore Airlines (along with Emirates the best I think).... Qantas is THE WORST (as are the American airlines!!)

7:11 pm

they are the best, especially first class!

7:12 pm

at least that's what i've read. haven't been on that carrier.

7:12 pm

yes different class to the Aust/US airlines.... and Emirates is superb too. Last time I flew Qantas they charged me $250 excess for golf clubs and I swore I would never fly them again (unless I had no choice whatsoever)

7:13 pm

The quality of an airline is directly correlated to political correctness I find

7:14 pm

Continental (at least with a Guam or Hawaii based crew) has great Business First service.

7:15 pm

i.e. the more PC the crappier they are! ** a very sexist chauvenist remark but every woman i know agrees **

7:15 pm

i really liked 1st Class on Cathay Pacific also

7:15 pm

my boss wanted to fire me cause he was booked on a flight to new zealand on quatas and the first class seats recline 180 degrees - but they're on a slight (i mean slight) slant - he had a FIT and was screaming - (i've been with him 18 years) -- AND he wanted a direct flight and the only other airline was air new zealand - who had no seats - and he knew all this - but he screamed and screamed like a madman - WHEW - glad i got that all off my chest!

7:15 pm

first ti 5 please

7:16 pm

what is his problem

7:16 pm

yeah some of the western carriers have good Bizz/First but that's because they can roster the more cheerful staff there..... Qantas or United economy class you get the union-protected grumps

7:16 pm

(sorry - quantas sets me off)

7:16 pm

did you yell back at him?

7:16 pm

Deb you said you were in the movie bizz..... sounds like a prima dona

7:16 pm

nah, i just listened, thought about my paycheck, thought about how i babble all day and then watch the mets games and let him yell (i am furiously looking for another job)

7:17 pm

Hi, all Makes me glad I hate to fly reading this chat, lol

7:17 pm

in australia we say Qantas stands for Queers and Nerds Trained as Stewards (no offense to any gay people)

7:17 pm

yes, i work for a producer -- such a prima dona .... i mean if the seats don't recline 180 degrees he can't fly - puh-lease! (and it's always first class) --

7:18 pm

sounds like what we like to call a "total wanker"!!

7:18 pm

aknitter, ti5 is ring worm

7:18 pm

debb, now i know why you're looking for another job!

7:18 pm

Can anyone remember TWA ? We used to say Try Walking Across

7:18 pm

great fran, now the t box is gray

7:18 pm

hi aussieme!

7:18 pm

it's sad the stereotypes of these Hollywood types ring true.... like to hear a story about a really down-to-earth star... are there any? hahahah

7:18 pm

Or Teeny Weeny Airways

7:19 pm

Hi Fran

7:19 pm

he's quite a character (i'm also attempting to write a book .... - i could fill volumes)

7:19 pm

Or People's Express? I called them People's Distress

7:19 pm

Lufthansa .... let us feel (or smtg else) the hostesses and nobody say anything!

7:19 pm

few and far between !

7:19 pm

BOAC..... Better On A Camel

7:19 pm

US Air = US Scare

7:20 pm

Bambam - John Wayne was a really down to earth star, he was a friend of mine

7:20 pm

i flew to london on british airways and we had premiere coach tickets (still bus class and 1st ahead of us) and i thought i was a queen - it's just perspective.

7:20 pm

those are funny!

7:20 pm

Like that BOAC, Aussieme

7:20 pm

those are really funny! boac

7:21 pm

yes well legends like that don't need to prove themselves do they.... they don't make stars like that anymore!! maybe jack nicholson

7:21 pm

why ty Ma'am !!

7:21 pm

sorry, had to run some damage control again...

7:21 pm

actually tom hanks is supposedly very nice

7:21 pm

the doggies?

7:21 pm

Stiiiiiiiiid !!!

7:21 pm

i agree and i love your try walking across hehehehe

7:21 pm

{{{{AUSSIEME!!!!!!}}}} ***Princess***

7:21 pm

another guy who is good enough to not have to carry on

7:22 pm

not doggies, dumb kid posted too much information on a public website (again)

7:22 pm

how about meryl streep? i've always liked her... is she nice

7:22 pm

we also worke with arnold on his last movie .... he was quite nice (politician even on the movie set) --

7:22 pm

Meryl

7:22 pm

Meryl is a doll

7:22 pm

just talked to a guy who was on David Letterman and he said letterman is really nice

7:22 pm

How goes it Stid ? All is well here..... Georgia is sleeping like mad, and she is soon going to be 7 weeks old

7:22 pm

she's a class act i've heard - friend worked on a production with her and said she's just plain classy

7:22 pm

She is so modest

7:23 pm

She is brilliant.

7:23 pm

I have a warm spot in my heart for BA, but I'll bet the UAE has a very posh airline. Evesdropping. Eveining all.

7:23 pm

and how are you feeling? up and around and back to normal I hope... we are all healthy and enjoying the summer.

7:23 pm

daybyday - are you meryl ? hehe (just kidding)

7:23 pm

do you see the correlation..... John Wayne, Tom Hanks, Letterman... all people who are REAL stars and have nothing to prove... and they're nice people

7:23 pm

aussie, that's growth spurt time! she's sleeping a lot getting ready to grow a couple inches overnight!!

7:23 pm

and has an amazing sense of humor!

7:23 pm

very very true words

7:23 pm

Letterman isn't nice

7:23 pm

She is 10lb 1 and a half ounces now

7:24 pm

Meryl weighs more than that

7:24 pm

how about Barbra Streisand (i could be the only one but i find her really hot)

7:24 pm

my baby daybyday...lol

7:24 pm

;)

7:24 pm

really daybyday is he an acquaintence of yours?

7:24 pm

that's getting big enough to not feel "fragile" anymore! I am so pleased she is doing well.

7:24 pm

i've heard many diva stories about barbara ....

7:24 pm

oh, oh, oh, I have always had a crush on David Letterman. I find him utterly hilarious. I think though that he is a dull person in reality.

7:25 pm

nice stars 've worked with, sharon stone (funny as hell, no pretense at all, though she admitted she was sucked into the whole diva thing for years) susan sarandon (star or not completely down to earth and the ultimo test, her kids were polit, unspoiled and just good kids), richard dreyfuss (kept everybody from the lowliest cash extra to the director in stitches. lots of very nice actors out there and no shortage of wankers, just like real life

7:25 pm

Nothing fragile about her now, she's a proper bully, kicks me and everything !!

7:25 pm

sounds like banking bonkler!

7:25 pm

hi bonkler! didn't expect to see you this time of day!

7:25 pm

loooooove Susan Sarandon!

7:25 pm

Well don't we know everyone

7:25 pm

ah, a temper like her mother, I suppose...

7:26 pm

glad to hear that about sharon stone, always thot she was a kick!

7:26 pm

Melanie Griffin is Tippy Hedren's daughter

7:26 pm

Yep, she has my temper alright..... but she is quiet like her Dad

7:41 pm

Just read the chat.I walked out of Pulp Fiction. It is the only movie I have ever walked out on. But I have seen it several times since then on cable television.

7:42 pm

I walked out of The English Patient...

7:42 pm

oh noooooo!

7:42 pm

oh noooooooooooooooooooo!!!

7:43 pm

Yep, i did

7:43 pm

Did you guys realize that facetious is one of the few English words that have all five vowels in order? Just a little English trivia for you Babblers and word lovers

7:43 pm

Someone gave me the whole first season of "Nip Tuck" or whatever that series is called.... I put in the first DVD.... 25 seconds later i turned it off! YUCK!!

7:44 pm

pam, why?

7:44 pm

I only know one other person who hated it as much as I did, but she did not walk out, she felt her companions would kill her

7:44 pm

ok, I have to ask, why didnt you like nip tuck bam?

7:44 pm

thinkI'll sit this out for awhile

7:44 pm

It bored me endlessly, which is odd, as I like character movies

7:44 pm

I have seen the English Pateint several time on cable.

7:45 pm

the first scene was some close-up of a liposuction or smtg and i nearly threw up

7:45 pm

I don't like any horror flics either

7:45 pm

english patients is one of my all time favorite movies -- and ralph fiennes ..... and as for nip/tuck -- i have 2 words julien mcmahon --- ahhh

7:45 pm

I could not get interested in the characters or their plights

7:45 pm

i don't appreciate gore, but i love to be scared.

7:45 pm

I don't know, and I really like Ralph Fiennes

7:45 pm

give me comedy, romance, drama, to quote Nirvana... here we are now, entertain us. I don't want to be frigthened just entertained haahahahah

7:46 pm

yeah, I guess it is kind of graphic, but Julian or Dr. Troy is a hottie and I know he is an Aussie too.

7:46 pm

I refuse to watch horror movies! Why pay $10.00 to sit in a theater with your eyes closed? I hate them!!

7:46 pm

I don't usually tell people, as I am so in the minority...

7:46 pm

ooh debb, i think he's gorgeous too!

7:47 pm

he is my dream man!!!

7:47 pm

ditto

7:47 pm

I prefer serious probing kind of movies, but I too absolutely loathed the english patient.

7:47 pm

Really, mab?

7:47 pm

Really, mab?

7:47 pm

really really.

7:48 pm

lol--that dupelication thing is something I haven't mastered

7:48 pm

it was maddening. I can't say exactly why I found it so.

7:49 pm

I saw it in Cambridge, MA. Left my partner in the theatre and I wandered

7:49 pm

I hate to interrupt this interesting topic, but I need some clues badly please.I guess you guys are all done?

7:49 pm

i like foreign films as well.... they seem to have better characters... and more dialogue.. and they're not hung up about nudity... and I speak a bit of French... things like The Swimming Pool

7:49 pm

ask away min!

7:49 pm

Done, Minver? Surely you jest!

7:49 pm

and i went to a nip/tuck night at the museum of tv - and he seems so nice in person (and stunning as well)

7:49 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the tr 5/16 word please?

7:50 pm

i also like movies that are loaded with stars doing cameos etc... like the Breakfast Club/St. Elmo's/Big Chill and more recently Love Actually

7:50 pm

like you, pam, i didn't really care for the characters. also, I irrationally hold ralph fiennes part in schindlers list against him.

7:50 pm

tr5,16 is a treasure tr*** of excitement

7:50 pm

min, tr5/16 is treasure tr***

7:50 pm

adore ralph fiennes

7:50 pm

i HATE rafe fines (as he says it)

7:50 pm

would kill to see him on stage

7:51 pm

Curious--what about that part got to you, mab? Enough to hold it against him, anyway?

7:52 pm

a comedy that I adore is the big lebowski, jeff bridges.

7:52 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the en 5/10 word please

7:52 pm

he's too arty for me.... even tho i LOVE the theatre, i like leading men to be less neurotic ... and leading women to be intelligent and sexy

7:52 pm

By the way I found the tr 5/16 right after I asked it.

7:52 pm

7:53 pm

Once again, I just found it right after I asked for it!

7:53 pm

Good system, Minver!

7:53 pm

whatever works min!

7:54 pm

i especially like the curiously sexy actresses... not text book good-looking but really appealing (like meryl streep and barb!).... uma thurman .... and call me crazy but Julia Louis-Dreyfus off Seinfeld

7:54 pm

Does anyone have a clue for the ap 5/12 word please

7:54 pm

7:58 pm

7:58 pm

Never saw, it Bam...but there are movies I have seen more than once Rocky Horror Resurrection with Ellen Burstyn Tender Mercies
