i think there are two related ti8's that go with that nine just
not yet
Largest Word Count 535 words 8698 09 Jul Thank you lickety
ok found the an 10 and obviously don't know what it means otherwise i would have thought there would have been an an 9 to go with it
same here josh, it will take babble all day to enter the words once it gets to about 400 +... slows down to one word entry every 2 minutes!
OK OK... Who the hell asked for the big grid?
there are angel ti 8/45 and ti 8/40
damn ru... have you started?
well
OMG!!!!!! 599 words!!!!! Morning all

* up for air at 108 so far * diving back * SPLASH
Kaz... are you out of your mind?
don't be silly, kje

now have a 4th ba 8, which is a ba 8/50 related sort of to the first ba 8/55
st 6 x4
it wasnt me, although i really need to stay awake for a while what with the clocks going back...MLF i gonna Killlllll you lol

I think I might go teach myself to play the piano rather than finish this grid
Oh! Missed Lickety's announcement -- thanks for the list!

i have started, but have no intention of completing it
MLF I have st6 x 5 so far

39 re words, if I counted right, gaaa
biggest I have seen huga
RE 7 X3
ae 6/18 7/32
RE7 X4
I believe 10,300 points is massive!! It will be hard to chat without typing in a grid word! for sure!
MLF one of those has an re 8/45 that goes with it
PB free zone today then
shall we all just start in the penalty box mrp lol and take martinis?
i predict babble goes down at least one time other than at 3am EST
104 words isnt that many in a grid ths size but for me in a half hour i would say not bad lol
chopin on the rocks, if you're bartending, kazozz
mmm just had an espresso martini and creme brulee
a
kaz not that i have
sm 7 X 2
WHAT is an espresso martini?? do they put a hose down your throat and pour it straight in?? like a backbending bar slammer?
NBT (big hairy deal)
I am going to snort a bag of crystal meth and finish this grid...lol
then you got more to find lol MLF
lmao ruru
espresso, vodka, simple syrup, creme
kje -- yum!
well... since you have already inhaled... might as well snort too, ruru
Kaz.. No kidding lol
and did you make the creme brulee?
I have 250 words...now.. I should be done...
no, was out
ruru doesnt that stuff slow a person down?
250 already? sheesh...I thought I was doing good and I have 162! go ruru go!
but ruru, you have only been at it for 35 minutes... surely you have more in you than that??
(and I'm still tickin' along without the list!)
er.. I am not sure.. But I don't think so...mlf
this is for sure the biggest grid I have ever se4
did someone call an SM something?
sm 7 X 2
and an sm8
sm 8 too
sm 8
okay... half way. And I'm outta here. I just can't commit!
ty ruru i got the sm 7's just now
omg.. there are 30 8's...
there's a French word here I agree with
yikes, freep!!!
holy moley - is this what we get for having a 25 hour babble?
an 8/45 and 9/60
fraid so melon lol
oh that's right, melonhead, i forgot about that

good luck, all!
Kazz i have 113
i mean 115
thanks for all the laughs mrp
well, i've got 200
(though I bet I'll come back. it's irresistable!)
it's like a bottomless pit
wow josh wtg!
it sure is josh!
i'm for sure going to forget which words i have; which means i will be typing the same shit over and over and over and over and over
the other an 8/45 is very appropriate for this grid lol
past the halfway mark - 301
sorry i began this grid. have 145 but wow. so many left.
josh i ahve to put the words in the list too
131...
Hugs WHAT??? \
holymoly, hugs!
303 now
between 4's and 5's there are 326
308 - it's finding the base word then just adding to it
I'm just not going to pay any attention to these people -- they should be arrested for speeding
can't spot those an's -- verry annoying
wish I could find the base of those an words...
snap nan...
cyber i have been trying to figure out the AN10 i even used MOREWORDS still cant find
Hi Jilli...we'll take our time, even if it's just the two of us!
MLF think against swapping something for something else
nan think against spending an evening out with a boy or girlfriend!
ok that gave me one 8
wow! 599 - is this the biggest grid ever??
kaz i kind of figured the first 4 letters but after that forget it lol
hey, peeps
that's just what I was wondering, franny :P
HI Tyger!
ok, i got the 10
I was also wondering how many people will actually finish this grid!!
an8 I got isn't against anything, it's before something
there isn't a singular for the 10, for those who don't know it yet
hey, pav
nan the other one kinda sounds like an eating disorder~!
against swap, swapper(s)(ed) doesn't work
Hey, Josh!
tyger, hugs and freep are over halfway already
got the 10 finally
hi tyger
well done ruru
hey, jilli
and lore
the 10 was my first word...
hi pav - good luck with this monster
just kidding
*** bows to the great hunter kje ****
oi
I'm sure SOME people will finish, but how many? it's HUUUUUUGE!
* up again for air at 182 * diving back in * SPLASH *
Now way kje???????
did anyone call the 10?
I just gave my first actual glance at the grid, and saw another word for flag - one of the 159 6s :P
ok, now all this talk about not finishing is going to force me to do it just for the bragging rights... damn
tyger - keep playing with that word, there are several to build to with it
keep building on that, tyger
Personally, I'm on a mission to finish before SOME of my mentors!!!!
well, I'm certainly not going to be one of the elite few. I haven't even been touching any grid over 200 words lately
josh will finish! GO JOSH GO!.right Josh?
(like it's really going to happen) LOL
Hi again. I just updated my profile
mentors?
oh, I immediately saw the PT that's similar
hey, herin
so what does the 10 begin with please?
Yeah, kje...I look up to a number you poor souls!!!
love the poem in your new profile, herin!
AN
I am going to beat this grid to a pulp...
..and that's a great photo you have of the baby's hand in with her mon's(?)
go, ruru :)
mom's..sorry
good job i have no rehearsals tomorrow...i can snuggle down in front of the fire and listen to the rain while i attempt more of this grid...but for now I'm calling it a night!
No just random baby photo. Oh that is an idea. brb
herin, that's wonderful
it will likely beat me to a pulp... but we'll see... long grids make me grouchy by the end
kAZ?
i changed my profile and icon in tribute to this behemoth
I second that kje lol
well, I'm thinking about bed. have fun with this monster, all of you :D
how about a nice slice of pumpkin cheesecake for you KJE?
nytol
PAV ME FIRST
no TY pav
by the end?... I thought you were grouchy a lot of the time/
josh, does you new icon suggest infinity?
ROTFL RURU
that may be true ruru... but now I can blame it in the grid which makes me feel a little better
ok, I guess I'll take it my neighbor who requested it...
it symbolizes a long journey through difficult terrain, tremendous personal challenge, and dedication to a larger struggle, with the ultimate goal not very clearly identified
better the grid than me... lol
PAV I WANT SOME!!!!!!!!!!
excellent, josh!
well.... that doesn't mean I can't blame you too... I am sure you will manage to do something annoying in the time it takes to complete a grid this large
*** can't wait to get started ***
refress and its now better
still can't find that an 10 despite all the clues :(
that is awful poetic for a grid, josh
josh, put that description in your bio!
only 209..........ugh. must sleep.
I can't find it either nan
Jill I love your photo.
bet you can't ru, thus, i will have to start ignoring you
gn mkg
Dang, this is hard!!!!
Only 209???
Hello/gnight to those I've missed)
Ok now there is a baby pic of me as my icon
Hi Pini!

Hi Pini

it's an AN10...
I'm still lookin'...
Thank yuo

i won't bother with the phantoms, i'm convinced there are more words in this grid than outside of it
Jill that is likely the earliest pic i have

Howdy Book! thanks for the help yesterday...

do i, kje?
pav what kind of crust did you use if any?
guess there's nflag for western sahara...
no flag
AT 7 x2 which were probably called
on the pumpkin?..I use the basic shortbread crust..that's the one I tried the gingersnaps on and it was wayyyytooooomuch,,,
ooohh, missed the sahara... thought you were just going country-less
who was that the other night who was touting the joys of gingersnaps lol
Help on that An 10 just a term word would be great
I had a really good recipe for lamb curry using crushed gingersnaps and that's the only thing they're good in
I love really gingery gingersnaps -- Christie's are the best
great with a cuppa tea
Hulk smash!
are they soft and chewy jilli?
woohoo!
no, slim and crisp
a big puzzle :D
200 words - no list!!! (* patting self on back * personal best thus far *)
any one?

yes Just, fraid so
Hi Just!...and did I miss your entrance mi'Lady?
wow just got here...thinking ...hmmm
just entered pav hi!
it really is just and I just got a good french word to help you with your exclamation
lol i see it westie
I would appreciate an O from the left if possible... I have to go lie down for a while and would like NBT before that.
moi aussi
fitting, isn't it? lol
thanks for the french
zut alors, westie
so, emdash is not a word?
I always manage to find that one
one o from the left rows a boat, the lower one is valuabel rocks
another 8 letter french word there lol
how valuable, jill.... *thinking*
not diamond...
contains valuable stuff, stid
On my word list, er7 and ga7 are pretty close to each other...
like iron
WOW just realised I have 203 words

Hello Just, happy to be seen...

Not even looking at the RE words they don't exsist

just came up for air! hi there Douglas
No it doesn't Doug

Thats what the extra hour is for Mayne
hi lore

Doing OK, just a bit stressed about school. Ten weeks (and 9 reports and a half hour presentation) to that degree! Plus my back hurts but THIS time I get to go to the otrthopedisat after I call my doc tomorrow. How are you?
Thanks, West!
What would be a fair number of words to hit before going to list?
good
He nearly died when he was a day old to, so he's more than a simple blessing, he's a miraculous one.
whatever feels good for you pini
i'm going to shoot for 500, pini, but to each their own
how are you doing Josh?
still trying to figure out that 10 clue :(
i'm at 401 now, so that doesn't seem so impossible
Maybe I'll shoot for 300 on this one...at 237 now...will see when I get there what to do...
I will stick to my usual list policy: if it starts being more frustrating than fun, I go to the list.
well it was just the stats really
ah, just got the 2 gr9s
not sure if called; not thru chat yet... ti 4,ti 6, 8, 8,9, 7... related
OK, must diespense strawberry pancakes and milk. Back later. Have fun, all!
clue those, flosey - they're driving me nuts
mmmmfph
they follow thru fron gr6 josh
is this the most amout of words EVER
that's gr6/24
i changed my icon again to note my current status in the desert of 599
most I've ever seen Veru
they rhyme with performances shown in the afternoon
ah, great clue hugs
indeed - thanks to the both of you
thanks Flosey & Hugs - what is that?!
garths
grs done
thanks MGuy
flosey...I have 3 x gr6 24...
sorry
pav - think of a way to serve potatoes
au gr____
lyn - it's the verb for potatoes au gr6
it's the second gr6/24 Pav
yes,,that's what I thought I should be using as the others just didn't seem right...
just got back -- thanks for those gr9s etc!
wb jilli
TY Hugs
yw
josh -- just saw your new icon -- liked the other one and the thought for it better :)
found them ...thx Josh, flosey, Hugs
BBL
flosey -- you have all those grs? wow!
:) - my poetry, as you called it, is saved for the moment and not put in my bio for posterity
yes jilli and a numb skull!
my skull is number by far
lol
bbs need refresh time
quick labotomy might do the trick lol
jilli, it took me a full 2 minutes to understand you meant more numb instead of 1,2,3, etc
yay!!! got the an 10 yippppppeeee
wtg dee!
wtg Dee, I'm still puzzling over that one
gj dee
ty a major feat for me!
josh, it's a classic cryptic crossword fooler
someone said it's like "against swapping"???
the prefix for against and what they do to ball players (pl)
does that sound right, Dee?
ooo thanx just got it
the an10 is a plural and the singular doesn't work. It describes certain winds
yes, or against exchanging goods... maybe
WOOT WOOT....just got it myself!!!
awww winds... that makes sense ty jili
ty jill and dee--I finally got the an10!
wtg
I've hit the 200 mark so I'm heading to bed. Take care all.
phew, 414 - break for now
what happened to your flag, josh?
night nonnie -- well done!
doesn't show up for some countries, i think, just
wow, josh!
what country?
thought it was usa
the words show up where the flag normally is
> halfway! and I'm ti5!
i am from usa, but tonight i am lost in the desert of a massive 599-word grid
lol
I don't know how you all are getting so many words so fast
hence lieutenant colonel lawrence in my icon
40 days and 40 nights
there're pl and past tense words JIlli...
jillibus, i am an old veteran of boggle and scramble on facebook - i am used to finding tons of words in a short period of time
well, slow and unsteady here....
I play those, too, josh; but, dang this grid is huge!
me 3
still do
the first 200 or so came very quickly for me - since then it's been mowing through tile by tile
what are you up to now, josh?
just one more than i was earlier, 415
i'm trying to stop and take a break, but it's hard
oi ... I made it to 200 without too much of a problem, but am slowing down at 240!!! :(
somebody's gotta get fireworks in the next little while - it's not impossible, but once you get 400 in the bank it's not that far to the finish line
26 from 1/2 way which is usually my time to go to list
yeah...easier to say when you're 2/3 there!! lol
that's when it gets excrutiatingly difficult, actually lol
I'm at 304, and I'm dead..still missing a word from the bottom left "o" or I'd have NBT...
334 here . . .
bingo!!!! finally got the an9
that's only BT I still have, too, pav
pav - both the words from that o end in the same 3 letters
one is ot4, one is on5
...and you're kickin' my butt now! (when we were virtually tied before)
clue that one, flosey, if you pls
hope it doesn't take that long to get the rest!
well, at least I've had NBT for a long time
/me lights up a spleef in honor of his 420th word
against + what they do with baseball players - and other sports, or type of winds
spliff, spleef, w/e
that's a 10, flosey
oh, sorry, worked on it for so long! but the an9 is a plural
I've finally hit 450
sounds like an eating disorder
the 10 is a plural too but there is no singular for it
no list, hugs?
no list
got it, ty
wow, kudos
well done huga
thanks Une
who was it that hit 503 without listing before going to bed earlier? i forget
and lore
that was hurshy
* sigh * I think I'm going to call it a night and return to the hunt in the morning! ;)
didn't see that josh
are you serious??
probably hurshy josh
hurshy
yeah that's right
it was hurshy, josh
oh but hurshy never uses the list
nytol
and I'm just not going to pay attention to such achievements
nites pini
night pini

I might go to lit... you in the usual room?
anyone know what 2 nines I am missing: I have ba, de, gr x 2, ti
what's lit?
bye Flosey PS the an7 is against communists
all over the state pav?
hi MRP
I thought it was just against the crayon
oh, thanks lynxxx, will work on that before leaving
I hate the dark days of Standard Time -- I'm not a morning person
no we're not in a room just in IM mode...
lol
hi mr. p hi chic
happy bd to your hubby westie
Just, Literati is a game like scrabble on Yahoo
Hey Temple!

Good morning Sprite

thanks for that an7 as a first word :)
yes, West. Just AZ in the States because we have sunshine almost 20/7...!
thx
same words temple
I know I love AZ
that is even better, west :) Congratulations on your husband's birthday.
sprite, I'll post some china tomorrow
Hi Sprite!..just in time for me to bid adieu!
thanks sprite
jilli, I love your icon for today so much :)
lore, your Doulton is lovely
hi PAV :) Sleep welll *hugs*
Hi sprite
thanks, sprite
ok, definitely a break now - back later
g'nite Pav sweet dreams
hi Hugs! ba
bye PAV
nt
bye Josh
I'm following Josh...ciao mon amis...have a great Day!
sprite I just read what you wrote so nice to have that puppy to look forward to
jilli, I don't think anyone breezes through a grid this size, lol.
bye josh, later
GAH! I'm going to be out nearly all day today! *cries*
gn pav don't eat all the cheesecake
hi Ata
hurshy went to bed a while ago with 503 words, sprite!
gn josh too be good
bye josh
hello Ata and Hobbit
I never take my words to bed jilli lol
she makes me smile, west. The thought of the puppy makes me happy, but that stubborn little mother as well. Isn't it brilliant? She is regular as clockwork normally, together with the other two girl dogs in the house. And now she takes her own sweet time.
and sprite, your mamadog-to-be looks so sweet
woooooot jilli, I take back my words. That is SO fast!
it will be worth the wait
doesn't she just, jilli :) Such a gentle face.
she looks a bit sad too -- perhaps apologetic for keeping you waiting?
Sprite Dana shes absolutely gorgeous! she will have beautiful babies
lol jilli, I think she is proving she is a spaniel. The dramatic look and the mind of her own.
like other red-heads?
1 and 1/2 hours. hmmm. don't think I'll start today. *cries*
yes we think so too, lobo, and I don't mind the wait, west. It will happen at the perfect time.
awwww Ata :( You could do a part?
lol jilli, possibly :D
noooo I'd want to FINISH!
there there, ata
poor Ata Hobbit give Mum a snuggle
Holy Cow what a grid!
*hugs Ata in an attempt to comfort*
hello Red
hiya red, and it is your fault. It is YOUR grid. You are in the middle.
hi red
I am a bit confused.
It is my grid Yahooey.
What time is it ?
hello everyone. WOW!!!! i was thinking we were overdue for a big grid.
Westford? Is it really only 3 am?
yay hello granny
it's 3:20 a.m. here
time for me to go to bed :)
it is 9.20 am. But not everywhere.
clocks 'fell' back
hey rose :)
Hi Red & Rose
Oh gosh, somehow one of my alarms did not get set for DST, but now that I see the size of the grid....
hi red
hi rose
1:21 am here, but soon to be an hour earlier
I have to work 12 today. may as well just get up I was sleeping badly anyway.
hey spritey, lynxxx, westy
BRB going to walk dog.
*hugs red* Hope the walk clears up the head.
is everybody's babble slow today? Or is it just me?
very slow probably the grid size Sprite
I was just going to say...my babble is very slow!
Mine's OK but I am not on BabbleExpert
same here, i mean mine's ok.
So off I go to bed -- night all -- *poof*
usually with a huge grid it only gets slower past 200 words or so. Ok, thanks, I will try without expert if it stays this way.
nite jilli
night jilli, sweet dreams and a cuddle.
goodnight jilli sleep well take care see you next time
bye Jilli
nite jilli
yep started out ok last 100 now its very slow
sprite, i hit the wall at 400 or so. need lickety's list now
happy dreams jilli

I'm off too....night all...take care...be well
bye Just
night just1 see you next time take care'
gn just same to you
night 1Mar, sleep well *hugs*
I had to start
I knew you had to, Ata :D Welcome. It is a good one today.
yay... i's are down
Yay, Atas going to play with us!
yay huga
only cos I saw an 8 LOL
good one Ata
I literally have about an hour though
enjoy it to the hilt then, Ata :)
I reckon about 350 then Ata
perhaps you can do the remaining 50 tonight then.
uninterrupted, maybe. but I have to make breakfast, have a shower, deal with the mutt as well
babblitus uninterruptus. That is a dream.
OMG!! No way I'll finish today's puzzle. Quite intimidating.
Morning all Just as well I have nothing specific planned for today, what a monster :)
lol mamabook, then just play as long as it is fun.
*sulk!cry!whine*
is this the biggest grid ever?
hi FM :) It is a beauty.
morning FM good fun grid
now now Ata, now now, there there.
I believe it is rolin Hello all :) why is Ata wingeing?
hi rolin, I seem to remember a 600+ grid, but that is very very long ago. Before pro ship for sure.
Hi FM, wrong weekend but you got your big grid - all your fault again?
hi Rolin
yes, me too sprite
because you have all the time of the world, FM, and Ata only 1 single hour!
because today of all days I have to spend all day in a meeting in london
lol guess I am going to be blamed for all sorts today :))
hi rolin
you have strong shoulders, FM, you can carry it ;)
On a Sunday Ata!! It Ata fault then *does happy dance*
Ata, is it that important? I don't mind calling them and tell them you are ill.
loool there must be soooo many re's! we are going to run out of purple crayons
oh de4, had not even thought of that. Too true, FM.
and yay I greyed a tile. Upper left corner O.
well done Sprite
*giggles* Well it is a start.
Think I had better put a extra room or two on the PB, think it might get full today, oh and some portaloos too :)
FM, what is a portaloo? Is that what it sounds like? So you don't have to go potty?
it's the Tolkien Society art show review, so yeah, it's important :P
oh you go potty alright, over everyone elses potty
roflol mrP, I realised when I entered that I was saying something weird.
Ata, stop whining! It is a wonderful day for you! Exciting too. Will think of you.
mrP: so many great icons and stories today :) If you can, check out jilli's and west's too.
ah, will do so sprite!
am just finishing off dinner... I had to leave the table cause I needed to burp, about 100 times! that is what lamb does to me (burp)
sorry was reading email - portaloos are like the ones you get a ouside pop concerts.
ah, I was close then, but no cigar. I thought it might be a kind of potty-chair. Thanks!
I looked quickly and thought it was portholes
I suppose they could be used for that too in a fix
west good idea we wouldnt have to empty them ones
burp along, mrP, we don't mind. And lamb is sooo tasty.
lol west
and I love your icon and story too, mrP. Beautiful. Radiant. All three of you.
well I guess I had better make a start then ... I'm scared ;)
thanks sprite... they are my guiding light
I agree beautiful family
*holds FM's hand*
it's cinchy FM
Okey dokey, here I go!
mr. p, how are you, dear?
*let's go of FM's hand and cheers her on*
*gives TOwl a free pass for the PB*
Hi all and god nite all. time to retire to Lala land...

I have an9, ba9, de9, gr9x 2 and ti9... still missing 1
you are going strong, Hugs!
I'm at 482 so far
I feel for all the babblers that have just started playing in the last week or two and got used to the small size of the grids. *giggle*
I see bo4 da is in the grid, lol.
Kiwi will love that
That giggle betrays you, FM :P
;)
what! how many!
hi mummy. Almost 600.
yes, I see, might just give up now
but at least there are no k's *insane giggle*
or just play as long as you have fun?
hello mummy
and the Cs were easy lol
I am having a ball, FM :D No Ks, wonderful endings, lovely chat.
hi lore
i am going over to morewords all running together now
huga, there is a te9,54
thanks mrp
Can't wait to see LoriP's face when she sees the grid!
it is a LoriP grid. Nice and chewy.
well, except for the re-words of course.
oh can we blame her then?? can we, can we?
are you delegating, FM?
sprite I like your way of thinking, hmmm, did try delegation before but always worth another try :)
ahh, got the te8/9
being able to delegate is a mark of a leader, FM :)
me too josh
wtg Hugs and josh. Now for trying to emulate you guys...
missing only 1 9 now, and uhhhh.......14 8's
I am a strong believer in delegation and empowerment - well I was when I had people working for me.
FM don't do anything dr7 now....
only need 9 8's and 22 7's... only
see, I knew you were great that way, FM
Hey red :)
thanks red :)
phantom: gardenia
Its a good thing DST only comes round 2 times a year. I am so so confused.
lol, funny thing. The pappa dog to be is called Bandit. Phantom today. And a lady dog is a bitch. Phantom today. No wonder we are kept waiting.
and tired.
poor red :(
and in the PB again, red.
I declare PB out of bounds! this grid is too big!! LOL
nah, we just restocked and made improvements, mrP. It should be used :)
599? Wheeeeeeeeee!
sprite... my phantom was 'aintitabitch'
FM wants to see your face, Lori!
roflol mrP
Yay Lori :)
its ok I am used to it, I got a bed in it last night.
hi Lori
I appointed the best-but-one looking cabana boy to attend to all your needs there, red. You just order him around.
phantoms: assertion, desertion, etc
I wish he could go to work for me.
wait till Lori click on the possible amount of re's !
Don't crush my moment, I hadn't even noticed that FM
so sorry, red, he is only valid in the sin bin :(
or should I say, only valet?
BBL
bfn lynxxx
Hugs Lori and then ***waterbombs her** to make her feel better :)
oh what a bother. then, well, at least I was up at flipping 3 AM to start it!!!!!!!
i just freaked out my daughter! god I love doing that!! it shows a new level of learning/understanding that she didn't know about.... but I am in trouble now!
***that's better*** :p
hi, all. are my eyes deceiving me? 599 words?!
lollll mrP! Yay for Maddison, grin.
hi Angelsong, your eyes are perfect.
red that is way too early. Let me tuck you in so you can nap or drowse a bit longer.
we were discussing kissing in a movie... I told her she would be doing that soon enough, but I called it 'sucking face'... she nearly threw up!
I wish. I have to leave at about 5 15 so I might as well be upanyway. was sleeping badly.
lol mrP, just like Caya. She claims she is never ever going to do something that gross :D I should have recorded that claim.
*sends red a huge package of instant energy*
TY Sprite!!!
et
* pant, pant, gasp * a's done
et tu, marigold. Hi :)
woot rose! Good job.
looks like i'm missing 19 a's all told
my brain hurts :(
can't wait to hit 500 so i can allow myself the list
500 even... 99 to go. time for bed. g'nite all
good luck josh.....
wtg Hugs! And sleep well.
nite hugs
speak of the devil, hugs - goodnight and good luck tomorrow finishing up
OMG I have 411 left!

and now I am in the PB again.
There are some great t words, I am no longer giggling but ti6/18ing and the related 2 x 8, 1 x 9 and 7
thanks FM
ok, that's all she wrote for tonight - see some of you tomorrow
well, later today
bye josh, sleep well
Night josh
I have a question. How come the word 9r is never valid? I hear it being used in movies and series a lot, when they are spelling out numbers.
Guess what I have crossed the finish line

Nooooo!! WTG lore Congrats!!!!!

Good morning everyone. Goodness a challenge today:).
elder! How did it go? And how are you feeling!
back from shower and no kidding elder, and on my work day!!!!
hello Elder
red, have a good day at work. Be good to yourself, ok?
Morning elder - a good grid for a Sunday, if you have nothing else planned :)
not a problem...
Hello Sprite. quite painful at times but feeling ok, just a few aches and pains, this morning and I slept well.
that sounds not too bad, elder. Now hoping it will work out as planned :) *careful hug to you*
GM all:)
morning chickie
hi Chickie!
Me too Sprite.Thank you. How are you? feeling any better.
Hi chickie, are you feeling any better?
yes, slowly getting there. Had a wonderful session with therapist last Friday and I seem to be able to keep on being more centered and grounded. Able to cope with what is on my plate right now. Not bad huh.
FMitch, I will need all day and some to get this completed. I cannot sit here all day, I would never get up. So I think I think I will leave the comp on and pop in an and out.
hiya sprite,lyn.elder and Fm.
yay t's are greyed all 116 of the little blighters! Now on to the s's
*** hugs * Sprite. :) your doing great.
I admire you for working so systematically, FM. Don't know how you do it.
Probably a sensible idea elder, we would have to come and prise you out of your chair otherwise
TY Fm ,yes I think Iam on the mend now. lol
back first, elder, and grid last ;)
FMitch, so true lol
yes Sprite. I am planning to start back at work within the next few weeks, slowly but surely.
chickie, have you been ill?
Oh I will go random at some point sprite but I always start out z-a and then monkey like mad :)
it will lift your spirits to work again, I think, elder. Just don't overdo it? (yes mummmm)
t's just flowed today
Need to negotiate with new senior manager . Not an easy task.
amazing, FM.
you will need to go prepared then, elder. Practice the meeting with somebody even, perhaps.
I had the flu and I sprained my right shoulder but things are starting to get better ty.
glad you are starting to feel better, chickie
FMitch, you are so disciplined. I start with a view to keep on going with 1 letter than something catches my eye and before I know it I am all over the place.I like to think an eclectic approach.:)
Chickie, sorry to hear you have been unwell. But good that your on the mend.
that is more like the way I play, elder, lol. Randominity rules here. Only when I get totally stuck, I start trying to grey out tiles.
Ty sprite you are always so thoughtful
I just care is all, chickie. You guys are my babble buddies and you have a place in my heart.
Sprite.. lol :)
which is probably why I always end up with forgotten plurals and such...
Sprite, my reply in relation to your style of playing.
:)
yup, mine too, grin
*off to sin bin*
Sprite, I will email with an update in a few days.
who me ?
Oh no you don't spite - you will probably enjoy the sin bin rather than see it as punishment *giggle ir ti6*
will look forward to it, elder, take your time though. No, me to sin bin.
Ty elder my babble friends mean so much to me! To bad we have such a large pond between all of us It would be so wonderful to have a reunion and meet each other in person!!
hey I have to have some company in here. adolfo is pretty but dumb.
aw FM, please please please? I promise to look sad.
*sprite even, doh!
ahh, I see. :)
LOL
Chickie, it would be great..I can hear all the chatter.
*positions herself on foot side of red's bed with a tray of champagne, strawberries, chocolate and cheese.
*struggles to maintain sad look on face*
BUt I am rushing off to work in a few....I have 230 words, essentially an entire grid...on a normal day...
looool
great job, red. Have a good day!
You can have phantom fireworks if that helps red?
have a good day red:>)
thanks FM...not really. Whats odd is the stats board...Under whos Hot (Which is the only place I can showup) no one is there....
guess drG is not liking any of us enough today?
REd, 'cause your your the hottest. :)
I for one am not feeling *hoTT* anyway...
ah but you look it still, red
Oh yes, how strange
OK I must take a break back in a while.
bfn FM
Bye for now FMitch.
Hugs :)

good grief! i'm not bragging, but.... i just noticed i have only 17 to go. someone please pass the bourbon, i ne4 a stiff one.
nite herin
how long have you been working on it granny?
amazing granny!
bye, herin... go, granny go!
on and off about 4 hours.
wow..
only four hours, this will take me all day
up to 203 words, but just started
would appreciate clues for any of the big words
wow! good for you
you have 203 in 12 mins?
i cant type that fast..lol
yup, just wait til you get to the re's. there's 45 of the little so-and-so's.
ooops, up to 106
wishful thinking :-)
I've got 191 words all t's and s's, going backwards today might not be such a good idea!
oh...TG... i was just gonna step outside a slash my wrists...lol
either that or NEVER play you again at scramble..lol
not to worry, rolin
well, at least it is Sunday.. not a regular workday so Babblers can have some fun with this
Hi Aloy :)
hi FM.. (-:
hey mitch... it doesnt let us have gr4+ters
aloy, fine for you lot over there, but it's sunday night here, some of us have to get up in 9 hours and go to work. ( can't babble there )
enable is an outated pain the the ... dictionary!
but you are almost done granny!!!
Is that your new car rolin?
only because i wolfed me dinner down, and raced back to the game...
i got a 9..i got a 9...
clue please
the car is great mitch... im having to learn the art of driving an automatic..but im getting there
I only have one 8
wtg, rolin... haven't seen one of 'em yet..
yay, rolin!!!!
yay rolin... i have no 9s... have the 10 and lots of 8s... weird
pl share
the 10... care to tell what it starts with pls?
an10... starts with prefix for against, or not
why did you choose an automatic rolin?
ends in plural though there is no singular form
an10, and it is a plural
i had mitch.. the arthritis in my hands/wrists was getting to the point that it was hard to change gear without pain...and i thought in an emergancy i might not react as quickly if i knew it would hurt
it's a cute care rolin
Oh thats fair enough, I'll let you off then :)
thats exactly the word kje...its been a lobg time since ive had such a 'girlie' car
yes, it does look rather sissy-ish - LOLOL - i like it
well gee thanks mitch...lol
sissy...???....SISSY...???.... lemme take my ribbons out and ill deal with you properly...lol
my sister's name, bo6.24, is in the grid
ha!
lol I love a manual gearbox, guys who drive automatics are always suspect in my eyes. *just thinking out loud*
OK, clearly I am not going to go back to sleep (why am i up at 5 on a sunday morning???) so will give in and go make coffee
hmmm so theres a petrol head part of you huh??
yup - I confess here in babble land *hangs head*
:)
yippee, found my first nine.. and am rewarding myself with a fresh cuppa, brb
how about a little bit more of a nudge for that an10? I've tried being against all kinds of things, but guess I'm just not in a negative enought mind frame
Aloy, what does your 9 start with, please
can't help you there Eva, am way off even starting the a's
an10 = an4/4 + tr6/21 (the plural of a 5/12)
an10 - against + to exchange for something else (plural)
ty,ty, got the an10
thanks city! Thought I had tried that but must have just been dreaming.
bbs
no, actually I had tried the singular which, for some reason, does not exist.
yw... I could use a nudge on the 9s if anyone has any
me too
city, what is you icon?
i have ti9 ... high pitched little laughter
city-the only ones I have so far are: ba9/66
I've got a ti9 that also has 2 x 8 a 7 and a 6 related to it
thats the t17 sorry...and then the 9 is someone who does that pl.
kje... it's a heart carved in a wooden bench, near where I live... I took a photo of it in the summer, it's really sweet.
gr9/66
TY - had none of those laughs... now I have lots
ty, rolin... guess I missed peri. My 9 was ba9, those who quibble with words
and there is a te 8/9 combo that builds off the opera singer
ti9/54
ah, had not thought to do that to that ba - TY
yw :)
babblers??..lol
ty for the ba, and the clues for the others everyone *should be kept busy for a while*
oooh..i have the base ba6..ty
very cool photo, city
back, and thanks rolin and Eva
thanks for the te FM
ty kje :)
the gr has to do with food usually prepared with cheese-plural
clued the ba for you, peri.. scroll down
have never seen the opera singer 8/9 words before
actually there are 2 gr9's-plural and past
ty Eva for the gr9's
nor the gr extentions..
I got it
I got it Aloy, thanks
yw
not seeing the te8/9
aaint babble an edukshun!
lol
yup... shure is..
yw, peri.. am puzzling over opera singer
NM found them :D
peri..they have a mineral ending
YAY have 5 of the 9's and 6 of the 8's and the 10
and NBT

RMCC....how was the grid???besides a marathon?
no carlee, it's for real!!!! the first 410 not so bad, but then i did miss some very obvious ones along the way.

I don't use expert on a grid this big...why?
good lord that is an awful lot of baklava!

I wouldn't mind but I just repented for the puppy story laughter, you would think God would have been kinder

hi oodle and nite granny
ooh..got my first 8
I just saw someone disappear...
thank you, peri
Annie and Scarlet, I have not heard from Scarlet in several months. Very dissapointed. I sent her an e-mail, a message on facebook and called her and left a message. I see her on Noggin but if I do not say hello she doens
I will send your certificate under seperate cover.
Did the time change afffect my vision ? Does that REALLY say 599 words ?
into thin air... ok how did that person do that eh??
*frames and hangs license on wall* thanks FM!
second 8...woohoo
she does not say hi to me on Noggin unless I say it first.
Hi oodle
i've not seen her on noggin mind I NEVER go on it
no no it says 59 krist.... BIG wink
ok, what is "Noggin"?
oh phew ok then im done lol
I have never been on noggin...going to open my AOL email...back later
a mini babble that is timed...on facebook
noggin = head
I must really need to go to church this morning... it's not there but I keep seeing **ti-christ
would someone be kind enough to tell me what 9's I am missing> ba, grx2, te, ti
uh actually i don't know how Annie meant when she said it
holy crap!
hi feather..
hehehehe....yeap...my reaction too
Dr god felt we needed something to do with our extra hour today i think
no kidding! i think it's the biggest i've seen in a few years
a worthy challenge for a sick day. going to peck away at it for a bit, then do laundry.
I could spend the day just watching peoples reactions when they first come on
ooh, sorry if you are not feeling well, feather
lol katie
with a grid this large, I am so glad the server is behaving. *knocking on wood*
Now Angel , why would you go and challenge the server like that ? lol
i know what you mean Angel. As it is, it seems to be very slow in accepting or rejecting words
caught my first 8 letter word
I've got 239 but am going to go to the list early
katie?
yes?
i have a culinary question for you
Ok
do you bake much during the holidays?
No to be honest baking isn't my bag at all
Mari (my mom) bakes a lot though so if you ask your question I could see if she could help
oh ok... well then what is a favorite amoung the elnglish during the holdidays... christmas and new years.. and do you have a sort of thanksgiving?
Thanksgiving is a US celebration. We do Christmas.
We don't have thanksgiving but at Christmas we are very into mince pies
ah ... love mince .... well thanks giving is giving thanks for the harvest... so nothing like that eh?
At church we have a harvest festival but it is not a public holiday and most people do not celebrate it
We call that Harvest Festival in the UK and it is celbrated in chruches in the Autumn
LOL Katie - we were raised in the same community I think!
At least we are giving the same answers :-)
:)
very good well I know neither one of you are amiss at the celebrations in <England... if I used that word correctly
halloween used to be really low key here as well but it seems to be getting bigger, mainly because the shops are pushing it so strongly
Of course, there is Guy Fawkes day. We made a big deal when I was a kid in Scotland.
and...good morning
morning sukee
We are having a massive firework party next weekend, apart from Christmas it's the biggest thing we do
hi sukee
morning sukee
a lot of the holidays are commercially pushed... ei : you have greeting cards for every occasion... more like a business ploy to me ... the business world takes advantage of every occasion we celebrate as consumers...
599! HOLY CARP!
Lol bzzn, you're not the first to say it :-)
the reason I ask is I love to bake and love how others celebrate the various holidays... it would be refreshing to see that when people celebrate it they don,t incorerated the advertizing ploys of the commercial community (using that word very lightly)
Hi, Bzz, yes it is the biggest grid ever
hehehe......bzz
good morning everyone:) my sentiments exactly Bzzn lol
she may actually be the 1st to say carp, though : )
I'm trying to decide if I'm going to even start.
hi Bzzn.. jump on in
hi jean
True, most have not been so restrained
morning jean
400... need a break... ugh
i think it's HOLY WORDS BATMAN
wtg kje
holy grid grouch batman! is more like it : )
wtg, kje.. if i get that far, I'll take a break too
grid grouch?
caused by excessively hard or large grids...
ok wasn't sure
599!!!!!!!!! omg!!
Hi all.

Hi Jean!

Hallo Jean, sorry I was getting carried away there!

scarlet will be totally immersed in the election....she is part of "get out the vote" for obama
lol no worries Deeha:)
Well, I've finished but it only gives me 520 words in the list :\
peri, I have an email from her dated 2 weeks ago but I have not responded because she said she was very busy and I wanted to wait
hi all- just over halfway
Well, I didn't even get that, Annie
ok, gotta run so I can get ready for church see you later
Carlee, you are right, I have a great Obama email...will send it later
My list says 599
could I have some random clues please! I'm sitting here decomposing, can't see anything else. I see squares when I look away from the computer screen!!
I would say my phantom of bitch is appropriate today.
Hmmmmm, very strange!
Have you refreshed the list?
yeah it's 599
missing 2 of the 9's and lots of other words
only have 8 of the 8's
Yes, several times, but it still says 520...
Afternoon all.
between the election...closing down her garden, kids and grandkids ( and grandkitty )....she is blissfully happy... and am not expecting to hear from her until after the election ( oh yea..and the world series)
Which 9's do you have peri?

Congrats FM!!
an9 - similar to someone with an eating disorder
Bichon, we have a child born on Halloween.
well, I called her about 2 months ago and left a message and she never returned my call or my e-mai or my message on facebook, including a birthday greeting. I know she is busy but I thought we were friends.
thanks anike
ok..let me rephrase that... the ONLY time I hear from her is when i call her and she is home
Bzzn, just this Halloween? How cool!

No, actually about 36 Halloweens ago.

I am oblivious to my surroundings. And I dove right in.
not seeing them at all...
AD6, right, oodle?
if I add the s that would involve adding another letter wchich would make it 7
yes
hey scrabs, we could say it's quite ir**** that someone with the name scrabbler was oblivious to how many words there were
Awesome! massive mc-grid!
No, just add the s
no oddle, just try it :)
NUTTY!!!!!
thx feather for the clue! LOL
be back later to find all the dirty words, and there had better be some

Has everyone changed their clocks back 1 hr? I still have to do that throughout the house.

Anyone have the first AN8?
but that uses up the a and d in ad5 or 6
Yes
i always forget about the clock in the car . . . every year I do a double take! LOL
i did a few of mine....
an8 sounds like eating disorder

I am adding -ed, -er, and -s to evrey word I find.

ok some of u know that I'm new here, what lists are you talking about? I'm still trying to figure out your lingo
how many words, brid?
457.
Open --Lickety's List-- (found at the bottom of this page) in another window. Next, copy the words you've found (under Babble’s My Word List) and paste them in the large box at the bottom of the Lickety's List (Bulk Add). Press Add and your found words will be placed in their appropriate places on the list. Then you simply try and find the words that are still missing. Update your Lickety's List by repeating the copy / paste / Bulk Add.

There is something to be said for 45 day campaigns.

Would that be a good or bad thing, Dorens?
i honestly don't know nan. i like Obama. don't know if he'd have had it though. and i'm sure mccain wouldn't have.. and i think some of the other republicans might have been more scarier than him. not sure
I went to list with 135 to go and found i dont have a single ra and there are 19 of them!!
* eyes bugging out of head * This word count is a joke, right?
none of the other reps could have been half so scary... cuz none of the rest would have chosen palin

ok, getting the list with 282 left, 317 found on first pass
Hello Judi. You know the seconds before the word count comes up? I looked at the grid and thought 'Big one'. Was that an understatement or what!
especially in drag..
first one I have ruru is brownie points
above that nan..
actually in drag, he is more human
still have 223 to go here -- would like to find at least 23 more before I go to the list
There isn't enough make-up to make him less so...
me6.21 a type of sheep famous in Aust - negarive word on the end
no, rudy is not scarier than palin... not by a long shot
just found it ruru -- the sheep
lol, ruru... but the thought that he has a sense of humor helps a bit to make him less dictatorial and scary that way. and kje, i like to fool myself that palin can't be scary cause she is such a big joke
keep fooling yourself, dorens, we thought that about w... too dumb to do any real damage... and look now
I think it would be more of a challenge today to find words that aren't in the grid. *lip diddling in shock*
yikes, kje... bad dream there. but i never thought he was too dumb to do damage... as pres with cheney, he was in position
help with dr7 please
palin is no joke.. she is edging to come back for real..
but will people actually vote for her????????? shudder
Uhg. Can we please stop chatting about American politics? I'm sooooo sick of it.
yes, she is definitely on her own agenda now... and yes... they voted for W!!!!
things are getting alittle dr7 when you have to ask for clues!!!!
an 8?
thanks Ishult

Ah, thank goodness for online photos. Hope he turns out to be a prince charming (and not a toad).
yes rolin - even tho he lives in the southern area of my city
and he is an accountant and works about 20 min across the city from me too lol
well.. i met my partner online 11 years ago... such meetings can lead to special things
lol judi - so far so cute lol
ne 7 anyone ?
And he is employed! He sounds like a good prospect, Groovy. Have a lovely first date.
oh i dont have either an 8. so clue please. but i dont get the first clue. dont see an x in grid.
<-- went on a blind date about 2 months ago...
...it was a toad...
pini!!!! and ruru!!!! so nice to see you when its light outside for a change lol
...and definitely NOT worth kissing!
And how did that work out for you, Pini?
hi kiwi!!!
well im not expecting miracles first time round lol
He called to say he was going to wear jeans instead of casual slacks so as not to "outdress the girl"...
Oh, so sorry. Keep trying.
way to go kiwi.. put yourself out there
shoulda been a clue pini..lol
Lol, pini. At least he didn't show up in drag.
...he neglected to say they were threadbare and had holes in them...
and then ive also met another guy from my city but hes in dubai for another two months so no expectations there lol
...and then he wore dress shoes with them!
oh no pini
ewwwwwwwwww
dump him..
Eesh. Sounds like a prospect for "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy". Makeover emergency!
...that was the first / last time I saw him! No second thoughts about that one!
well this first guy ive seen photos of him both in jeans and in a suit and he looks good both times lol
emergency was putting it midly!
definately a no brainer there pini lol
I hope you have more success, Kiwi!!!!
Can't believe his mother let him leave the house looking like that. *snort*
anyway best i get and do some laundry get the brats sorted then head off into a beautiful day (and get stuck inside the office for most of it) see those for flip at flip hugs enjoy the rest of your day

someone asked for an ne 7 clue
well done judi
another 19 and I can finally list!!!
I don't have any ne's yet.
so, just throw some obscure clues out to help!!!
8 more for me pini
what is your goal prior to listing?
to get down to 200
ne7: add a c***** gives ratings of movies and books
Nan...I just want to hit 1/2-way!!! I'm listing at 300!!
just found the ne7 and wanted to clue it.. couldn't have done it as well as that tho aloy
Fab clue, Aloy.
glad it clicked, Judi (-:
TY for the ne
I didn't get it -- have no idea what lists ratings for movies
who were those guys on tv? forgot their names
who tells you if they're good or bad, particularly bad, in the media
c**** = someone who "judges"
(or gives an opinion)
I don't know!
siskel and ebert, but that only works for usa
*or care, particularly as most of them are bad nowadays
doesn't mean anything to me, dorens
ah yes, ty Dorens.. cybernan, the word ends with a facial "spasm" or pest of outdoor dogs
ah -- ty aloy -- all becomes clear!
a naysayer, one who tells you what's wrong with you
or.. if you're in the hospital in ICU. what is C for?
yay, nan.. (-:
good one, Dorens
no 6 and 7 combo?
these an8's...i have the against calender item...can someone clue me the other pls?

Hey, was anyone here half following my Nepali chili pepper saga? Anyway, we have frosts now so I harvested... 122 peppers! So a seed crop for next year AND good eating all winter!
Hi Peri! I have 313 left.
I am stuck in re hell
woot! 1/2 way!
aha got it!
is the ar 5-7-8 a combo?
hello all. I got to 162 last night...
Stid!!!!
Nepali chili peppers sound like they might be hot. Are they?
MONKEY!!!!
well, so much for getting more words, hubby is now bringing in crabapples to make jelly!
Hi stid!!
Hiya, Stid!
hi there stid
ar 7?
yay for hubby and jelly!!!! *grin* give him our love, please!
They're about on a level with Thai Bird's Eyes, so yes. But more than that they have an exceptional, well balanced, just lovely flavor. And they're uncultivated: tehy just grow wild there. A friend brought me some. This is a two-year saga based on planting the seeds from one chili.
ty stid, will do
hi stid !
wow. is anyone else having significant lag?
I'm not up on my pepper heat levels. I'm guessing "bloody hot".
hey peri
yes stid
need a break -- brb
Yes and no. How to describe... Well, if you've had authentic Kung Pao chicken you'd probably want to use two or three of these for that. Mongolian Firepot, 7. Anything my husband wants to eat, 30.
Stid - lag is due to obese size of grid today.
Evening all Thought I would pop in and see how everyone is getting with this mammoth grid :)
Hello FMitch!
Hiya, FM. It's a beast, for sure.
Stuck at 286, FM.
*bobs to the surface for air*
hi FM and Haz
of course judi -- all of us "regulars" being on for longer than normal, I suppose.
What's the biggest grid on record?
hi again FM.. am still here, but seeing the light at the end of the grid.. hi to Haz too!
I'm at 286, too...
Hi, FM 129 left to find
Hi, Haz
this is the biggest so for, MG
Coll, we're BabbleJam Buddies!
last record was set in July
Hello everyone.
ga 5/16 please
Good evening Haz :) Hi stiddy, flosey, MG Judi Peri et al THis is the biggest since lickety started keeping records
(so the specs showed last night)
Mmmmmm, BabbleJam!
It was big enough to challenge me, Fmitch I normally would avoid a big grid, but I just had to see how far I could get
HI again, back for a few more
big was that one?
(go everyone go!)
Pini, you are still at it
(((GW)))) !! Hey hun!
Wow. Historic day then. Largest Babble grid ever. A moment of silence.
I've been dropping in and out...
ga5/16 - PT of fence door
(haven't accomplished much)
Hello there, GW!!! Good to see you. How are you and your family?
My ga 5/16 is a past tense of a 4. A ga*** community.
How far have you got GW ;)
flippen heck. anyone watxh the Formula 1?
I would like to get the O from the middle row, left column please? It's the last untouched tile for me.
before that
Hamilton has won the world champtionship!
I feel pretty good about myself, too -- 288 in less than two hours... and that is with the kids climbing all over me at the same time
I only have 2 more than I had before I left earlier.
i know but he out me through the hoop!
Oh wow, brill!

Deep breaths bf!
Stid, ear related

nervous*
getting grouchy
that is a later ga 5/16 I need help on the first anyone?
That's the Sports Personality of the year sorted out.

It is an eminently doable grid so long as you remember to add every ending to every word :)
me too, kje
not you, Grouchy? never
I found it... nm
lol Haz
clue me, ruru?
are you talking to me, Mom?
OMG I finished the G's.. a heroic effort!!!!!!
or to kje?
98 to go.
You did??? Good for you! I only have 35 g's.
Go pigeonman!
like the country singer kje
ewww... just took a look at the re's
mr. Brooks
That was for KJE, but Peri, I can't picture you getting grouchy either
We should do a Hall of Fame for people who finish this one.
TY mom...
TY ruru
you're welcome
scary we are missing the same words all the time.. we must use our brains in the same way..
lol MG a mere 10,300 points will qualify you
except you are smarter
In answer to your question, Peri -- the family are all fine -- we had a fun Halloween and the kids are already looking forward to next year
I might TRY to finish it, but Stephen Fry in Amrica is on in 2 hours so, well, ain't gonna happen. Plus calling my grandfather and walking the dog before that.
i refuse to accept that accusation
ar 7?
egads...the first Mr. Brooks I thought of was Mel and I've seen the other in concert 5 different times!
wait wait wait... the 1st one... I accept the smarter one - LOLOL
except that you zoomed to 200 in what... 20 minutes last night, ruru?
how far along are you, (((mom)))?
300
204 :(
Gw was just reading yr bio agaoin, wonder what ever happened to zubie?
just passed 200
300 in 20 minutes???? BS
that is great mom... almost 1/2 way!
ar 7 -- pleeeeese
sorry nan, I don't have the AR 7
cybernan, add the alt. spelling of the dark part of day to the common pl. verb for the ar7
i did.. almost all the 4's
almost, that is my goal for the day. No way to finish today
I contacted zubie a long while ago -- life just gets in the way so she doesn't have much time for the grid anymore
most of the previous with a ore like ending nan
ty aloy
hi GW
Akkk, mine just spontaneously refreshed! Felt like that took about ten minutes!
real life is a bummer when it interferes with babble time :)
yw, nan
i swear i have entered a million re's... and there are still more!!!!
I solved that problem GW and work for myself now so I can babble when I like (within reason)
There are always more...
Time for a late lunch. 333. BBL.

Hey crossy hugs :)
rats, i would like to do it but i don't think i have time--i just spend 4 hours installing a new printer and i'm sort of tired of sitting in front of the screen!
fm!:)))((()))
four hours doing a printer??!!
that was it thank you jbv..
what were you doing, building it yourself?
i popped in a new cannon printer last week in 6 minutes;)
woo hoo passed the half way point!!!! 301 down, 298 to go
and it took that long cause i had to go tinkle;))
loool
poor harp!
is "who's hot" broken?
ypsigirl..a Michigander?
I'm with Harp - I get myself someone under 21 for jobs liike that
aparently we are all very cold today harp
I finished!!!!
Well done PAV!
the printer was old, and we got it for $3 but I had to download all the software and drivers, plus find the directions on line, etc.
Ypsi...I was raised in Adrian...
Yay Congrats PAV!
congrats, PAV - hoping to follow in your footsteps very soon...
yaa for pav!! 42 gun salute for you!
Then after the 3rd hour i ascertained that one of our $3 printers is not going to work, so i uninstalled it and tried the $4 printer. It took about an hour to get that one going.
can I help anyone before I must sh sh sh and sh?
Hello again - what is the total point score? I am having a script problem and keep losing my word list
10,300 ursh
ursh total = 10300
help with the last se 8/40 please
any clues for the an 10?
now thats a spicy point total:/
But in an couple of hours i get to take the NIB one back to Costco....and they will refund my $78 so it was worth spending a few hours
oh, btw, all this downloading is with dialup, that's REALLY the problem!
Blast i finished but only show 380 odd words and 7000 odd points even tho i got fireworks
ursh...maybe that's why I lose words? cause I could have sworn I had keyed stuff in and then it isn't there when I return..and that Win error message comes up frequently
unfortunately we're fresh out of teenagers in this household so i have to actually do that stuff myself!
an 10 is against swapping something for something else
so there is no who's hot today? it's not just me?
If you refresh ursh it will probably readjust - babble does go a bit funny with huge grids
ir 6-7 combo?
no it's not just you harp
no-one can see it Harp
Pav the message i get says script is causing explorer to run slowly so i click on yes stop script and then lose words from the word list
just know its not me
ir is anger plus if u finish this grid before the flip u will have done it in the ***k of time, plus plural
so it won't matter if i only do half the grid, we're all lukewarm today!
ty for the an 10 clue
Ursh - always click continue on that
i have 99 left wooohoooo
ty kaz
yw nan
does anyone have that last se 8/40 that they can clue me?

Always select Continue to see all the words

hi Pam
hi all - can anyone tell me how to switch from explorer to firefox?
evening all, having fun?
hi sprite and TO
hey sprite--
download firefox as your secondary search engine.
TO type in the url for firefox and download it
it works much better for these large grids
i can't see any words past the n s
www.mozilla.com/firefox
that's what happens to me on ie, so on the large grids i use firefox
hi sprite... are you done?
IE is terrible for big grids.
hi kje, yes, long done. Just updated icon themes and icon. Don't look if you are scared of bugs.
hi sprite :)
i don't know if i can do it right nownfortunately
I'm using IE and not having a problem...???
what's tomorrow's theme?
hi there sprite
how are you doing these days?
woohoo sprite - good for you!!!\
hi carlee -- haven't seen you for a long time!
nri, how many wors do you have?
slowly recovering from an ugly virus, am very low on energy. But will win the battle in the end :) How are you?
508 done, 91 to go
you might have a problem when you log out and then back in, nrkii.
oh, I'm not logging out till this puppy is done
am ok...life just keeps moving along
well wishes sprite
i had down to the s but when i logged on again tonight it shrunk
i had down to the s but when i logged on again tonight it shrunk hi carlee
if no clues are needed, I will be on my way
thanks kje :)
bye nan
hey, peeps
hi TO....I just find on big grids I abandon expert...
nite nan
bye, nan
hi tyger
life moving along is as it should be ;) Hi tyger!
hi tyger
hey, kje, sprite
back again!
and ange
goodness, what a dreadful theme, spritey! I didn't think kje was that kind of pessimist
I use the expert but not the Lickety Add box, because it lags too much.
hey, flosey :)
oh, I"m not using expert, maybe that's why I am not having problems?
*giggles* I think kje has some funny ideas.
the add box is slow only when the grid is big
nrkii: no, it is related to IE and not Expert, as far as not listing all the words goes.
cover your ears everyone----ready? HEY MET FAN--ARE YOU AWAKE??
that was what I meant, tyger, sorry for being obscure. Only on really big grids.
and kje isn't even doing her own theme!???!
flosey! Haven't seen you in so long, how are you?
no, sprite, I think it's Google's fault. it's slow in Firefox, too
1st to7?
Isn't this the biggest grid ever?
I've been in and out all day sprite - many interruptions
its pretty darn close tyger
how many left flos?
we talked about that this morning, tyger. Ata and I remember a 600+ grid, but that is a long time ago. Long before pro dom existed.
uh oh. lickety is not loading my words from earlier. i mean the regular lickety not expert
25 to go
I can't believe it, but I'm actually trying to do this grid - probably for the same reason that kje is :P
lol
took a break and went for a walk
OMG 599 words completed the biggest puzzle I have seen in over 5 years playing!!!
owl, that's why I save my words to a text file. I don't depend on the browser to save stuff
wtg speedfreak :)
congrats speed
YEA SPeed! Hi everyone
speed, sprite was just saying she and ata remember one with more than 600
WOOHOO SPEED!!!
would turning off chat help?
17 here flos
never, TOwl!
it just dawned on me. yay, speed! I can only hope I can manage to do the same. I have 131 words yet to go
hey, DR
I have to go, it is way past my bed time. Enjoy this friendly giant. Hope to see you all tomorrow.
i mean, each time someone speaks the program slows. so i thought turning it off might help.
Sprite now that you say that I do believe I remember one over 600 but don't think I finished that one....Good Luck to All
OMG, kje. go, go, go!
nightey, nightey, spritey!
thx, speed. I think I need it. :P
Hi Tyger
sweet dreams, sprite
congrats speed!
hi DR

Ok. THis numbnuts robed a supermarket. He ran off and the police chased him. He jumped over back yard fences to escape them. His plan was going well till he jumped straight into the yard of a police dog that resided in the property
lol...moron, herin...
Ouuuuch. Numb nuts indeed.
DONE
My friend has 2 HUGE dogs. One is police blood line and she will eat you if you piss her off.
Yah NR
Goal in life: Do not get eaten by huge dog(s).
I can't believe I made it through this whole grid... I need shepherd's pie and beer now... comfort food
wtg nrkii
YAY nrkii!!!
Speaking of beer - we about to pop out to the pub ourselves. Must make in home in time for the Simpsons' Treehouse of Horrors, though.
Judi. These dogs are so loving if you respect them and their property. She has to walk the police blood line dog with a muzzle as little kids have a habit of touching dogs they don't know. This poor dog had been abused by small kids so she can bite.
bbl all!
Mmm. That could be scarey. We have a husky mix who kisses first and asks questions later. Loves everyone and everything. The little slut.
Later NR and Judi i love your pic
Off for a pint. BBL.
Enjoy
YAY for nrkii
oh lol, I just found the volcano, duh!
thanks jill i missed that. Hi peri
fudge it i am missing too many A words
fudge it i am missing too many A words
taking a minute's break. 79 to go
CYA Tyger
Hi Tyger
Hi there DR
hey, herin I could give a few clues, if you want them :) I know you usually don't
Hi Herin..
DR, you leaving??
Ta but i am not listing yet
no- you said you were taking a break
Hey y'all! On ae5-10 I typed in the volcano and it won't take it.....anyone experiencing this?
taking a break from the list. that's why I'm here :D
this is my break
holly crapasaurus. I just noticed the amount of T words. No its the A next to the chat
oh... I get it
that's a proper noun, peach. the volcano doesn't start with A
....AND.....Drumroll please
Fireworks!!!
YAH peri
WOOHOO Peri
Oh, thanks.
can't believe I have been working on this grid ALL day. But I took many breaks
there are a ton of ARs, and those are many of the words you want, herin
yay, peri!!!
Yeah, Peri, and how do you all get 599 words? I am listless yet and only have 358. Might be here all night.
actually it was a pretty nice grid, just long
OH my i do believe that is what i have been NOT looking for. head desk
peri, I worked at it for about 5 hours - thru the wee hours - before going to bed. I had about 400 by the time I gave up for some sleep. and to think I'd intended an early bedtime!!! :P
going to veg out in front of TV
I am not able to use Babble Expert but I did use lickety's list and morewords
there are 90 zillion easy words in there, fershure :)
bye all, happy babbling
happy vegging, peri :D
Mary, if you want to finish, I strongly recommend using Lickety - but use the bulk add, not the little window. it takes *FOREVER* for a single word with this monster
MONSTER isn't the word and I thought Halloween was over
just looked at the stats. the who's hot column is EMPTY
well, Mary, do you want to tell us the word for it, or not? ;)
can i have a clue for the first in6?
this is All Souls Day
oops, no it's not. I guess I've lost a day; sorry
Okay, I give up, going to the list but I dont' think I will finish.
1st in6 is a comparative for the preceding in5 - I don't have all the INs, but I do have that one
Yesterday was all saint's isn't today all souls, tyger?
now I think about it, I think you're right, pam, so I wasn't wrong after all???? how kewl :P :D
Thanks Tyuger
8-)
yvw, herin
phae, didja have the in5?
Hey Fuquay, where are you at?
got it, thanks
yw
does the 10 mean "against something"
yes, it does, shiba
k, thanks
want a definition?
evening, back to plug away again
hey, feather
feather!!
Hi Feather
FEather monster hello my dear
I'm giving myself another 5-10 minutes before I go back to work. doing this grid is a personal challenge. I had serious doubts whether I could finish it. I've had a tough time, usually, with any grid over 300 words, and this is twice that
go tyger!
I know I wont finsih
but my goal was half and I am almost there
a hint - not a clue - for those attemptin an10: be careful which way you start the "against" part. there's only one way it will work (as usual, for long words)
very good, DR
not everybody can invest the time it takes to finish a grid like this, even if they want to
over half here, just started with the list not too long agao
and is the 10 past tense?
Top A slayed
expert seems to be moving super slow
no, shiba, it's plural, weird as that sounds
k, thanks
I have 13 more a's Herin
I don't doubt now that I can finish. I only have 79 to go, and with nearly 6 hours ... not a problem :D thank goodness!!!
Great, tyger!
oh, feather, do NOT use the usual window to enter words. use bulk add, even for single words
That is awesome tyger
I have 5 more then onto the MONSTER T words
go, herin
I wandered off today--not just on line as usual, but took a walk, did errands,etc. That's why I like the large grids--they last all day!
I'm really rather pleased with myself, pam, DR :D
100 left , bbl
later, bubba
hi everyone, just dropped in to say HI
Ok i know what happened. My net was really slow last night so some words i put in didn't enter
i did not even attempt the grid today
hey, monk :)
Great, Tyger!
i'm giving myself till 8 to see what i can do, then will work on report cards
hi tyger
MONKEY MONSTER. Hugs
I've been working on my NaNoWriMo project for hours, coming here to take a break is probably suicidal *smiles*
did anybody else look at bubba's icon??
LOL, unit. I'd say so, yes
oh, lil, it's fun! I am halfway done....
didn't see it, tyger
LOl, unit
scroll down quick, before it disappears! :)
feather, just be sure you use bulk add
hugs back, herin :)
yeah, i switched from using the chat box to using the one under the grid, and sending words to clues every now and then. going faster
under 200 left!
well, I'd better get back to work on the grid. BBL
thanks, tyger, that icon was hilarious
yvw, pam. I had to laugh when I saw it
go, ata
minimizing again, so I'm not tempted :) chat is just toooooo tempting. and I'd like to finish before dinner
mmfph i am so over missing one word of each tile. Hi Atat too

hi lilli
im sorry but i cant see where we can come up wth 52 words that start with G when L D R and A are the only choices for second letter, i dont think i could come up with 52 words that start with G period
hi herin, dr and everyone else
i've got all my BO words but one, the one between ennui past tense and a driller
I'm still bothered by the fact that the G is NOT close enough to the O, R, A, S, M.

never mind

OK, the 10 is killing me. I've got the first four, but is the root word another answer?
ooh showing a BCI on TV that 'nn'ute parapalegics are testing [cbs]
yes
[brain co'nn'puter interface]
shiba, the second half of the 10 - electricians, mechanics, etc. are ******men
darn. repair isn't in the grid
do you suppose 7:42pm is too early to go to bed for the night?
based on electronic waves
hi all (still trying to finish)

the AN10 = againt swappers
Crap...I put that in earlier!
oh. so the singular ins't ok, but the plural is??!
(swap, barter, exchange, etc.)
yes ata
Or, I guess I didn't, but I thought I did, so I haven't tried it again. Thanks though
Ok i just did a lap of the house. I have NO idea what i am doing
A,B,C and O's are all grey now
Go DR

Yah Mary. Yah Book
:pant, pant: 48 to go
owl, did you ever get your words back??
we've chuckled - several of us, at least - over DR's current icon, but never have I seen a more appropriate icon than it is today :P
does anybody else know if owl got her words back?
nope
i pity anyone who tries to begin after 10 - doable, but not for 'nn'any
dan, there aren't many babblers who could finish this thing in under 3 hours. I won't even tell you how many hours *I've* been working on it, but you could compare it to a workday
sprite was in here a couple of hours ago, and I don't think *she* finished
This is getting annoyig...I still have 152 to go
See im a little sick in the head. I would love to finish this without the list. Just using Morewords. Yes Sprite Finished (unless i halocinated)
I've done about 2 1/2 hours on it so far and got 115 left
;(
and she's not usually in here during N.American daylight hours
and that's fast going, ata. yay for you!
did she? I'm so glad. she puts so much effort into this place
I am using the list now though
well, I don't think I'm going to finish before dinner. I don't want to be having it at 9 or 9:30 tonite, so I'm going to have to take a real break soon :sigh: back later
minimizing again, to avoid temptation :)
wtg ata; i've gotten about 190 in 1/2 hr, so fingers crossed
Back for the last 26 words. All REs.
didn't want to use the list *sigh*
I really should hunt for food. As the weather has been so humid the bagel that i didn't freeze went moldy in my pantry :(
Go go Bea! I am home now. 323 to go but my goal is halfway.
Hi Scrabbler
I saw an Aussie family from Bundaberg yesterday--moved here with 5 kids.
Bundy is far north in Queensland Scrabbler. How delightful. Did they have really ocker accents?
Great accents-- I could have listened to those kids and Mum all day.
I don't know about "ocker" though.
THat is the ocker accent if they are pure breeds from the bush.
They are not Aborigines.
No not saying that. What i mean is the top end people have a great Ocker accent. Ocker is true AUssie
OK, I will read up on it.
http://www.bundabergregion.info/
i just love so'nn' of these word fa'nn'ilies like the ti 6/18 group [esp 9/54]
herin--it looks beautiful!

Hi Jilli.

TY--AN's are done. BRB, I have to move clothes from washer to dryer.
woohoo herin
thanks, kje
hi jac, I did my turn in lexulous
yw
Now the RE words sigh
I have 120 left. Can't understand how others have finished so fast!
Jilli - I'll check in later. 106 left to find here first.
there are a lot, herin... but not too too horrid
horrid - that is a fun word
I'm now battling the 77 R words, ugh!
I have 318 left. those 12 hrs of work did not help my babbling.
HORRID Horrid is bloody re words (rant tanty whine)
bummer, red... i hate working on the weekend
It was not too bad, just loong.
and I have to work tomorro again.
That was rather rude of work to interupt
there was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead (forrid). When she was good she was very very good, but when she was bad she was horrid. I heard that a lot from my parents, lol!
God i hate oprah
it was herin, but I do enjoy eating also.
Money is good though Red
I think this grid is truly horrid -- huge and full of obscurities. Maybe it contains the entire enable fictionary.
clues for the second ni 5/10 please
Jill my parents said that about me too
me too jilli!!!! my mom use to say that...
my Mom as well...
Has anyone else experienced the slooowwwness of entering words?
moms are moms no matter where they are : )
Yes Jill
yes jilli...
yes, I think its because the grid is so so big.
I guess kids are all horrid at times, but I never said that to my son, well, he wasn't a little girl, of course.
LOL jilli
Grin jill
It's 2:10am here and someone's just let off a load of fireworks.:(
there was a little boy, who wasn't just a joy...
WOOHOO JAC!!!!!!
Yaaay Jacula!!!!
oh, in real life you mean???? oops
yay jac!!
Oooooh. different.
confused : }
in spite of the curl on his forrid....
jilli - whatcha drinking?
Yahoo Jacula!!
vodka on the rox of course, kje :D
Oh, I guess you didn't finish yet, but you meant real-life foreworks.
knew you must be drinking something after that last rhyme - LOLOLOL
*fireworks* I meant
Last ar6 please?
yes, scrab - forworks sounds kind of scandalous - woot
Yes, in real life, kje. LOL. It would have been funny if they'd done it as I finished though.:-)
ahh, foreworks -- that's a good idea. When I get to 100 left I'll announce foreworks for this brute.
that would have been great, jac... and no less than you will deserve after finishing the monster
brb
ok what was i thinking
more monet like, scrab
'foreworks' = the time you spend studying the grid before typing any words in?
cleaner than I was thinkin jac - LOL
TY, kje....on to the AS words-- i need the last 3.
thats it Jacula!
a + st4
LOL - kje. Doesn't that word normally end in 'play'? *grins*
a + st5
and plural the fall flower

Did this grid totally ripped..
a + st5 (tough on the rules)
and I'd love to stay and clue, but it's 2:20am and I'm soooooo tired
may have been the best way to do it ruru
Know how you feel, Ata.

I was afk
damn... i drop that last night and poof and you don't even notice??? bummer
i did want to hear go ahead...
I luuurve top chef
not a big deal... just funny... do you remember last week sometime when we were talking about men that were sexy bald?

I've made it to under 100!!!!!!
I am looking forward to it miles
(hi all)
woohoo pini!!!
ello, pini
Hi Pini.
Wahoo Pini!
PIniii
must go to grid...ttfn
that night i dreamt you were bald (ruru) and jilli was tattooing hair on your head.... very bizarre
te8 and 9 after singing voice below bass?
I just started...glum cuz I know I won't get all SIX HUNDRED damn words in this thing
add minera ending to voice and then plural, scrab
kje - that's weirder than some of my weird dreams. LOL
mineral
TY, kje
clue for re5/14 before throw up, please
it was jac... decided to stop drinking and babbling so late at night - LOL
ty kje
never woulda got that one
I think i dreamed this last night
re5 - place a price on again?
it wasn't a dream herin... this is too real
** shaving head ***
haha jilli, no puns this late please
i think more like a frecking nightmare
who dreamed this up anyway?
true herin
mineral?
i think it was a natural bald, ruru...
kje - whilst away on holiday, I had a dream that we arrived home to find a large wooden conservatory with diamond leaded windows sticking out of the first floor of our house on the side of my son's new bedroom. It was halfway over our neighbour's garden. LOL
mineral ending pam...
u know, like superman is afraid of...
miles,one re5/14 really does mean throw up, lol!
weird jac - LOL
pam... like baux***
thanks, red!
and tyvm, kje :)
yes, that was the one I got. I just started this party
late
yw jilli
I had a dream I was taking a shower and little mickey mouses (soap foam) were washing off my body and going down the drain screaming.. what does that mean?
You've been cruel to mice, ruru?
It means it was a cool dream, ruru
Ruru you need to come visit me in Orlaaaando?
I dreamed I was hanging out with the girl from clan of the cave bear
are we interpreting the? I thought we were just shaing... i don't even want to imagine what my dreams mean
Our brains are very weird! It must be the result of Babble addiction. *grins*
Ru you have been smoking LSD again
but she came back in the present and everyone screamed because she was naked
maybe they were commenting on the body, ruru?
they screamed, miles?
87 to go and I think I need either coffee or wine to finish this.
* trying to ignore bald tatoos * ;)
yes. so she had to come over to find clothes at my house
go get coffe Jac. I am soon to bed.
same here jacula...
my vote is alcohol jac
I have 304 to go...halfway is going to be good.
my vote would be alcohol too, except gotta go pick up dale from work in a coupla
ohohohoh 159 left no list (wft am i nthinking)
then no alcohol for you miles
I've gone for wine. I'll be awake all night if I have coffee.
no drinkee and drivee
enjoy jac
Miles - I agree. Drinking and driving is a definite no no.
I could use it too, because I cleaned the refrigerator and the freezer today
It took , like, hours
hey, me too miles...
You mean you're a "Double D"? ;)
And I do it frequently too. You too, kje? wow
nah, took me maybe 20 minutes
what pini?
Diving into the grid again for a while.
Was referring to Miles.. ;)
lucky you. We have a college guy for a housemate, and he leaves stuff in there till it turns furry
vote him off the island, miles
revolting re words re7/32
no, pini! Thank God...boobies would get in the way of my manly bod
re7 - stopped working
EWW Mile. Give him paper plates
but they're fine on other people...
BarryO just arrived -- back in a bit (10 to go for foreworks)
LOL Miles.
Ta da....time for bed at 404/195. I am happy to have gotten this far. If I had done this all day I would be heavily medicated in a psych ward by now.
wow, great jilli
excellent, scrabs!!!!!
Well done Scrabler
Good going, Jilli!
sweet dreams scrab (free of balness and tattoos)
LOL scrabs -- take care!
wow, jilli, is right, kje!
Then the paper plates would stick to the fridge surface, so I can't win
'Night Scrabbs. Well done.
bye scrabbs
hey -- foreworks means 100 to go!
no clues needed? if not, i will go do other things
I'd ask, kje...but not sure where to start...
Same here, Pini.
lotsa clues needed, but must hear BarryO
I think I have finally decided that good sleep is more important than this monsterous grid.
TOmorro will be 65 words... I bet.
Miles i have a suggestion. White board on the fridge door. EVERTHING that goes into said fridge has to be written on the white board complete with date it went in. IE Leftover beef 14/11/09. Or say every two weeks on friday everything is going out of the fridge that looks rank
sweet dreams red
Maybe, red.
holysh4! that was a wicked and just mean grid! wish i could stay and visit, but it's time for me to hit the pillows. good luck everyone attempting this monster!
I hope Tuesday's is about 25 easy words
night REd
HI Lb
Herin - I tr5 that, but I forgot to keep it up.
herin, that owuld never work in my house with just me. whoa. ok Good nite and into PB I go with my feather bed.
woohoo LBD!!!! WTG!
Well it works in a many person house. then again i lived with a Vacuum that used to eat dead bread
Hi and 'bye and well done, lbd.
se8/40...
congrat, lbd!
YAY for lbd!!!
yah LB
se + number + picnic pest
oh and hi everyone! thank you! really do wish i could stay and refocus...i have numb butt and crossed eyes. and early shift. *poof*
There is no such thing as dead bread, unless it's growing penicillin. You can make bread pudding, bread and butter pudding, summer pudding, breadcrumbs to freeze for toppings etc., etc.
hanging in to see the se8/40 clue (please without referring to another se word)
sorry...the one before that?
NOT rubbing feeling back in your butt there LB
Dead bread is Dead, not usuable dead Jac
Ok I reached half way, cant be bothered for more, really.
se - sounds like 0 + fork prong
thank you!
Growing penicillin then, Herin?
ty kje for the weird se8
good for you red! sleep well
yw
Jac yes
Sleep well, red.
Like my bagel this am :( stupid weather
77 more to go...oi
82 to go and I'm beginning to lose the will to live. Still enjoying the grid, though.
Jac i have a fairly Yogi diet. Lots of fresh foods. Anything funkish gets tossed
live jac live
same here, jacula!
and ty, kje, for the other se8 which I did recognise, lol
I wish I had opened the grid earlier... no way i will finish this tonight
How's everyone?
in fact, it's so daunting that after finding 171 words, I feel like I'm done.
good fungus
Insane
natts, hurshy got 503 words without the list in about an hour last night. She must be an extraterrestrial.
130 to go
Hurshy got possessed me thinks :D
hi fungi
599 to go here! *s*
hi jilli
108 here (brag)
0 here (bigger brag) LOL
HI anyone i missed
OK, off... will try for flip
kje...you are good!
geeze, obama just said "congradulate"!
I only have 410...
it is true, fungus... can't argue that : )
bye kje
I saw someone saying earlier that they weren't going to do the grid but would spend the day being entertained by reading everyone's first reactions when they signed in. If I have time after a night's sleep, I might open up today's chog to do same.
can you actually hear the "d" in the mispronunciation?
lol, jac
yes indeed, miles, I hear Ts very well -- Brit background
Pini...are you here???
I've been Babbling for some years now (on and off the Internet, LOL) and it's the biggest grid I ever recall doing.
oh... I hate it when someone spells it that way. I hate bad grammar in all forms
It is the BIGGEST grid EVER. and im wondering what the fudge i am thinking
Is it generated by some random function?
Yes
Yes Miles, it is.
I'm here....
wow
just checking
...I think my eyes are glazing over...
yay miles! And I liked Baba Wawa's TwenTy TwenTy rather than Jenny Twenny.
sprite said earlier that she and ata recalled one over 600, but that had to have been a long time ago as i have been here since oct '04 and this is the largest I recall....
Not since stats started.
haha, jilli. That woman just can't tawk right
603 or 604 if I remember the archived stuff correctly.
I ain't never seed the like a this'n, but I'm jist a newbie, joined May 06
What is the correct spelling of the word "use"...(with or without a d on the end) when used in a sentence like, "I use to go there." or "I used to go there"????
wow.
I am just grateful that there is an extra hour
I used to
The second form is correct, funguy.
I used to go there, fungi
I'm used to being called a fusspot too
I agree, but it doesn't seem most people pronounce the d when they use it that way
I thought the extra hour was yesterday????
oh, I see what you mean, fun
um i dont know
Did you type 'fungi' 'cos there wasn't mushroom. jilli? :D
yes, people are very loose with language, esp here in usa
We got the extra hour LAST weekend here in UK.
they'd have to pause and practically make the same sound twice...instead "we" often just run it together.
repeats what was i thinking
I like the UK for that very reason...
ok...I'm dumb...what's the last ta4/4???
ppl often say it like, "I useta go there"
is it the one to do with weighing, pini?
I prefer useta to use... when people write I use to do that, it makes my skin crawl, lol!
I useta go to uston
yu r killing me
lol, funguy!
don't much like textspeak, either, LOL
true, O King...but my granddad was a phonetician (taught philology at Columbia) and had a language school in Germany for diplomats pre WW1, considered an authority about Standard English pronunciations as shown in the English Pronouncing Dictionary -- you can thank him via his son (my uncle) for The Rain in Spain etc, lol!
ta4/4 - black gooey stuffs
not sure smiles...elaborate?
but at least textspeak is just that...
me neither...I was just being stoopid
LOLOLOL, jilli
I don't like text abbreviations either in sentences, but I'm fine with those such as BBL, LOL, etc.
when you zero a scale to weigh something, pini
I kinda like textspeak :D
oh why did i look here now/ i think this is the biggest puzzle i've ever seen. evening babblers
oh, crapola...fish me now!
just venting, miles, not upset with anyone
w8t, pam, wot u mean u dnt lk txtspk?
fish!!
30 8 letter words?
hi onyx
JILL how many times do i have to ask can you please write you stories and your history into a book. You are so interesting. I miss my Grannies tales
haha, jac
txtspk is a lot like American Speedwriting, wot I learned back in the 70s. LOL.
herin, the one book I did write took years, and I don't have years
:( that was the great dane book yes?
Prince spoke in textspeak before there was even the internet
Opus is gone!
nothing compares 2 u...
have jilli do an audio strea'nn' on the co'nn'puter OR send her one of the 'nn'ini recorders to carry around; would be wonderful
yep, herin, but I also put together 3 books for my grandkids which bored them stiff.
Miles - yes. The artiste formerly known as 'squiggle'.
OH Jill i would find it fascinating
right...now Beyonce wants ppl to call her Sasha Fierce!
I may start jotting down memories -- should have started saving my bio remarks I guess
Does she? Why?
Am I he only one who feels bad that Opus is gone?
Stuck on the te4/4 (before or after the golf stand)
IMO, too many ppl use the word "fierce" since last year's project runway
I was very lucky i got stories written down by my Gran before she passed
>12 & <20
So, what does 'fierce' mean now? Has it changed its meaning like 'gay'?
sorta. I think people are using it in place of "cool"
okay, diving in to get rid of the remaining Rs...also need some dinner (bison steak, potato patty, braised celery)
oh ok - had it but didn't put it on list - duh :(
mmmm, jilli can I come over??
fierce has a few meanings, as I recall... "hot" as in gorgeous... fierce as in fashionably stunning....
My stepdaughter is driving me almost mad by using the word 'dodgy' to describe just about everything from 'nervous' to 'not up to scratch'.
I had a turkey sand with hummus on cheese bread
not as nice sounding as bison steak
Jac they do that. How old is she?
sounds dodgy to me (hee!)
having been a step daughter, they can drive one mad absolutely on purpose
I've got some kangaroo steaks in the freezer. My only worry is that Makro (where we bought them from) has them labelled as 'kangeroo' steaks.
will I am back to dive in to see how much I can find. I still have 205 words! doubt I will finish
I go on jags with words sometimes. Sometimes they sound funny, sometimes just cool
no one here knows about Opus?
Herin - she'll be 14 next month.
lol, jAC
the dreaded kangeroo--hope there's no melamine in there!
I don't, fg
Last day, right, fun?
OH dear. Sorry Jac but your screwed
'nn'ay be tofu version
tofuroo
howdy all. 95 to go and i'm losing it.
Herin - you're not a bit sorry. I can tell!
the Opus cartoon...the lovable penguin...today was the last day
I've given up almost completely...it's more fun today just to chog
yep, pam
Hi skoo. Jellification of the brain is a foregone conclusion today.
:P well i was a right little bugger as a teenager. Hi Skoo
really? no more Opus?
a monster.
like Opus a lot, he'll be missed...
but a fun monster.
Herin - you're still a right little b*gger!
I was inconsolate when "The Far Side" stopped
inconsoloble
kje clued a st8/45 eons ago.... Can't find it, after all of this... help!
Miles - just so long as you're not incontinent.
opus was good years ago; got blue w/ original doonesbury break, then Calvin & Hobbes
Iat least you weren't incontinent!
Funguy - we think alike.
incontinint?
um Yes. I resemble that remark. Mum said to me that it was not a proud thing to admit to assisting in drinking 2.5 bottles of whiskey. To which i replied it wasn't as we should have finished of 3
I hope not, Jac
and could i get a clue for the dr6/27, please?
s + canvas dwelling + either ** + pl
Let me check, brb (lol)
loved the Far Side, too....
you're in big trouble if you think like me Jac!!!
d + the tird r****
down to 59 and my head is really beginning to hurt ... will this ever end????
is that the only one, dan, because I have that... thanks! and it's not the 45....
dr6/27 = d + Nazi 3rd r****.
*third [Hitler]
ty for the st8!!!!!!!!!!
77 to go - diving back into grid at 3:21am UK time.
thank you!!!
see you folks at the flip...everyone be in their jammies!!!
later fun
aye aye captain!
ROFL
sorry, 45 if french fe'nn' saint + anagra'nn' of gin and *****
Note: IM still in my pjs
'nn"? what does that mean?
ROFLIYJ???
What if you don't wear any pjs??
who are you asking, Pam?
that's TMI, jacula!!! ;)
push together to have 1 letter, is broken on 'puter
If you don't wear PJs then you wear what you wear instead! *s*
i got the word, thanks! but didn't know dan's "m" key was broken...
ahhhhh
and, that is a big, 8 letter fish, for me!
birthday suit, Funguy.
first gr8?
Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!! Might have trouble concentrating on the list here!!!
any help with that ne7, 32?
potty break time and more ramblings about the house
rhye'nn'es w/ show before 6 in evening
gr 8 = the 7 above it with another silent vowel onthe end
LOLOLOL! When you're a lady 'of a certain age' and you suffer from night flushes/flashes, and you sleep next to a big hairy radiator of a man, you don't need extra warmth.
I need GR 6 between saying hello and big smile pls
thx phandmd
Now, I really must put my snorkel on and dive back into the depths of the grid.
pl the gr5
How many GR 8''s are there please
2
cheers
Thns so much. I can't believe how many words came from that one letter!
Hi Une.
what is the TE6/18 after "choppers"???
hey, jac
te6/18 is one who rent
just realized I broke 400! only 178 to go!
crap...was looking at the wrong T...thank you!
49 more...
great, phand!
100 more . l. .
it7 anyone?
utter again or repeatedly
aha! thx
yw :-)
finished the t's!! 36 left
I can't believe this. BabExp kept freezing on me. After half an hour of restarting it, etc., I'm finding which ones are missing, and entering the last 17 by hand
I haven't been able to use the Lickety Add in Expert at all today...must be because there are too many words... ;(
pini, you really can't use the regular little entry window, but bulk add works fine. I always use it, when I do do a grid that has more than 200 words
I normally do it that way, too, Tyger...but even that is slow going today... :(
i keep hoping that being listless and adding the old-fashioned way will be good exercise for my fingers, LOL
444 that's not ominous is it?
better than 666
it will certainly be exercise :D :P
let's hope!
lol, tyger...
tyger, I am reading about RFK's last campaign adn the discussions aroudn the South remind me of our chat the other day---really enjoyed that chat, by the way
clue for the second ni 5/10 please
don't have it, wv, sorry
glad you did, pam. I'm gonna ignore chat for the next couple of minutes. I have 10 left to enter, and they're randomly scattered thru the Rs and Ss
give me 5 mins & I'll help you, teach
ni5/10 = days and ni***
ni5 --ni plus heavy weight
thanks, saan
welcome!
think I'm gonna go eat..prob not back till flip. I got about 240 in 2 hrs. Could be worse
bye all
cya l8r smiles
finally!!!
ciao, miles
bye pini
You done Tyger? I was rattling about in the kitchen for food
what a pain, searching thru all the words to find which ones didn't get in
wtg tyger
WOOOO HOOOOO, tyger!
yup, herin. I finished the words nearly an hour ago, but BabExp kept freezing on me, and I wound up having to enter the last 17 by hand
woot tiger
thx, pini, et al. I really didn't know whether I could do it
after I finished my burger, I treated myself, and pigged with 2 choc chip cookies. I was only 33 away, and knew I'd be able to finish :D
excellent, tyger!
I may go back and have another cookie. haven't made up my mind
33 more to go for me...
halloween candy is running out!!!
go, pini. you CAN DO IT!!! :D
we hafta have some kind of fuel to do this monster, guys. we have every excuse today/tonite! :D :D :D
66 to go and I wish I'd had the time to do more of this earlier in the day, or rather yesterday.
jac, you're good. you won't have any trouble finishing, so long as you want to do it
I'm sloooow, by comparison with a bunch of you, and with me when I was younger
Would it be just mental to do this sans list?
I do want to do it, tyger. I've been away on hol for a week and have been doing the grids on paper but not able to key them in. (Beloved can get the grid on hid cell phone.)
well, you impress teh hell out of me, tyger!!!!!
Wow, jac, that is babbling addiction!
*his cell phone.
well, you know how I think about it herin, but I try not to judge anybody else by how I do things
herin, i didn't go to the list till I hit the last 150 or so
listless this big? dang...you're a babble goddess!!!
I am, herin, but then, i don't use the list
Cool
65 to go and I'm thinking of hitting the list.
Since i have time (IE making time)
all of you who believe in prayer, please pray for me. I am going to have to call authorities in the morning. relatively new neighbors are beating little kids, and I can't take it any longer. even if it causes problems for me, I CANNOT take this :( :( :(
The thing about big grids is that they're often quicker to do than small grids, which can be hard. Big grids mean you get lots of words quickly.
Done Tyger
you have a point, jac. but it's easy to miss some of the words in such grids, too
why not call tonight?
tyger - just be sure that what you think you are hearing, if you are not actually seeing it, is what you think it is.
because I want to go direct to Child Protective Services
I think there may be more than beating involved
oh, tyger, please call! I have been there--on both sides, but more recently (18 years or so ago)where you are-.... Call.....
banging and screaming??
wouldn't CPS take them if you called in tonight though?
and sometimes, just hiccupping screams - in the middle of the night?
why wait?
Just call the next time you hear it... the authorities will come--esp since there are children there--and they will assess the situatioin
Depends what the noises comprise of, tyger.
I heard actual beatings...
I will call, pam, but I want it to be when someone will take the kids, immediately. I don't think police can do that, and MS has been cutting the budget for "services"
And, a few neighbors called... it was horrid
hiccoughing screams in the middle of the night might be nightmares.
Finished!! This is the longest grid I have palyed and finished
Authorities can assess the immediateness based on your account of what you hear/observe.
yay, bubba
The police can do it here, so I don't know
wtg bubba
WOOOO HOOOO, bubba
actual beatings are an entirely different matter.
D's done
YAH BUBBA
not with loud banging, jac
Well done, bubba!
and it's not always in the middle of the night
Clues anyone? before I go
I'd simply call immediately upon hearing any questionable sounds...no waiting...
I live in a small town. I doubt whether they have officers who can care for the kids
tyger - all I am trying to say is that things are not always what they might appear to be. But, if I were you, I'd err on the side of caution if I was concerned.
like jac, I wanted to be sure what I was hearing
They may not have officers who can, but undoubtedly have "volunteers" available for such situations...
I'm calling tomorrow
I can appreciate that. But when I was being beatne, tortured, i wish someone asked someone to check.
nite all
ciao, bubba
night bubba
nite, bubba
this is MS, and the family is black
glad you are calling , tyger
But, sometimes, calling in the authorities, if a family is dealing with a problem child of some kind, can cause more harm than good. What we think we are hearing is not always what our imagination tells us it is.
I have to be careful
oh
Well, for me it was NYC, and no one believed a white jewish mother would do what she was doing...
The authorities can keep your name annonymous ... they neighbors don't have to know.
I've listened long enough that I'm sure. I get sick to my stomach. they do it in a back bedroom. I doubt anybody but me can hear it
I know, jac, I know. I admit, my childhood has me erring on the side of calling and letting the truth sort itself out, but I understand.....
I don't thinks what colour a person or family is, is the issue.
ed6 anyone?
"they" may not know that even you can hear it!
If I were in my bedroom, instead of the smaller BR that I use as a computer & storage room, I wouldn't hear it
Tyger the next time they start call the police. Screw it just call them
Pam - I understand where you're coming from.
I am sorry you hear it, tyger....
ed6: adj reminding of Adam's first home
Garden of Ed** + 2/3 of frozen water
thanks, jac.
RE 7/8 pair after what you guide a horse with?
thx uneaix
I hope the police department has officers who can be discreet, in order not to traumatise the children.
re7 to bury again and plural
re7: bury again
yw :-)
snap, une
What you do with zombies
:-D
thnx, so much
Well they got to go back into the ground sometime. Or Vampires for that matter.
discreet or not, I can't stand it anymore
That is were tombstones came from
I have a responsibility as a Christian, if nothing else
people with other religious beliefs have similar obligations, AFAIK, but that's mine
Tyger you have responsibility as a person.
you know, it's a responsibility as a compassionate human being...
whatever. I just can't take it. we believe in discipline in my family, with spanking if needed, but this ain't spanking
what is AFAIK?
As Far As I Know
Simply put...YOU can be the voice of the children who cannot speak for themselves. ;)
right, pini
thanks, tyger!
yw :)
And, thanks, too, for advocating for the children!
re 7/32 before vomit?
my responsibility, pam
If someone had stepped in when my ex was laying into me maybe i wouldn't be so off centre. He hit me so hard my ear turned blue. Every now and then i get offcentre
re7 plural of preceding re6
ugh, herin, that's horrid....
how old were you, herin?
PEACE
I know, tyger, but it still takes courage.
and peace unto you, barack
well yes. He was a prat and i stayed with him for 3 years. I was 21 till i turned 24
have you had therapy/counseling since, babe?
yep. Been there done that. Better now Have the bestest not hubby ever
good
And tyger when it cames to little kids with your neighbours she may not even know that it is wrong to do what they are doing
I'm very much in favor of counseling, so long as people get the right therapist
Thankfully, I got one who specialized in PTSD, though I did not know I had PTSD at teh time....
I don't think it's a she doing it, and that's one reason why I've worried it's more than just beating :(
I have a wonderful therapist...
I had uni teachers try and step in and help but i refused. looking back i should have trusted them
with beating, I'm not at all surprised you had PTSD, pam
