Hi Jilli...we'll take our time, even if it's just the two of us!

12:48 am

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

12:48 am

hey, pav

12:48 am

nan the other one kinda sounds like an eating disorder~!

12:48 am

12:51 am

did anyone call the 10?

12:51 am

I just gave my first actual glance at the grid, and saw another word for flag - one of the 159 6s :P

12:51 am

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

12:52 am

keep building on that, tyger

12:52 am

Personally, I'm on a mission to finish before SOME of my mentors!!!!

12:52 am

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

12:52 am

josh will finish! GO JOSH GO!.right Josh?

12:52 am

(like it's really going to happen) LOL

Hi again. I just updated my profile

12:52 am

mentors?

12:52 am

oh, I immediately saw the PT that's similar

12:52 am

hey, herin

12:53 am

so what does the 10 begin with please?

12:53 am

Yeah, kje...I look up to a number you poor souls!!!

12:53 am

love the poem in your new profile, herin!

12:53 am

AN

12:54 am

I am going to beat this grid to a pulp...

12:54 am

..and that's a great photo you have of the baby's hand in with her mon's(?)

12:54 am

go, ruru :)

12:54 am

mom's..sorry

12:54 am

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

12:54 am

herin, that's wonderful

12:54 am

it will likely beat me to a pulp... but we'll see... long grids make me grouchy by the end

12:55 am

kAZ?

i changed my profile and icon in tribute to this behemoth

12:55 am

I second that kje lol

12:55 am

well, I'm thinking about bed. have fun with this monster, all of you :D

12:55 am

how about a nice slice of pumpkin cheesecake for you KJE?

12:55 am

nytol

12:55 am

PAV ME FIRST

12:56 am

no TY pav

12:56 am

by the end?... I thought you were grouchy a lot of the time/

12:56 am

josh, does you new icon suggest infinity?

12:56 am

ROTFL RURU

12:56 am

that may be true ruru... but now I can blame it in the grid which makes me feel a little better

12:56 am

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

12:57 am

better the grid than me... lol

12:57 am

PAV I WANT SOME!!!!!!!!!!

12:57 am

excellent, josh!

12:58 am

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

12:58 am

*** can't wait to get started ***

refress and its now better

12:59 am

still can't find that an 10 despite all the clues :(

12:59 am

that is awful poetic for a grid, josh

12:59 am

josh, put that description in your bio!

12:59 am

only 209..........ugh. must sleep.

12:59 am

I can't find it either nan

Jill I love your photo.

12:59 am

Thanks, West!

1:28 am

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.

1:28 am

whatever feels good for you pini

i'm going to shoot for 500, pini, but to each their own

1:29 am

how are you doing Josh?

1:29 am

still trying to figure out that 10 clue :(

i'm at 401 now, so that doesn't seem so impossible

1:29 am

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.

1:29 am

well it was just the stats really

1:29 am

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

1:30 am

they follow thru fron gr6 josh

1:31 am

is this the most amout of words EVER

1:31 am

that's gr6/24

i changed my icon again to note my current status in the desert of 599

1:31 am

most I've ever seen Veru

1:31 am

they rhyme with performances shown in the afternoon

1:31 am

ah, great clue hugs

indeed - thanks to the both of you

1:32 am

thanks Flosey & Hugs - what is that?!

1:32 am

garths

1:32 am

grs done

1:32 am

thanks MGuy

1:33 am

flosey...I have 3 x gr6 24...

1:33 am

sorry

pav - think of a way to serve potatoes

au gr____

1:33 am

lyn - it's the verb for potatoes au gr6

1:33 am

it's the second gr6/24 Pav

1:34 am

yes,,that's what I thought I should be using as the others just didn't seem right...

1:34 am

just got back -- thanks for those gr9s etc!

1:34 am

wb jilli

1:34 am

TY Hugs

1:35 am

yw

1:35 am

josh -- just saw your new icon -- liked the other one and the thought for it better :)

1:35 am

found them ...thx Josh, flosey, Hugs

1:36 am

BBL

1:36 am

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

1:36 am

yes jilli and a numb skull!

1:36 am

my skull is number by far

1:37 am

lol

1:37 am

bbs need refresh time

1:38 am

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

1:41 am

wtg dee!

1:41 am

wtg Dee, I'm still puzzling over that one

1:41 am

gj dee

ty a major feat for me!

1:42 am

josh, it's a classic cryptic crossword fooler

1:42 am

someone said it's like "against swapping"???

1:42 am

the prefix for against and what they do to ball players (pl)

1:42 am

does that sound right, Dee?

1:43 am

ooo thanx just got it

1:43 am

the an10 is a plural and the singular doesn't work. It describes certain winds

yes, or against exchanging goods... maybe

1:43 am

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

1:47 am

what happened to your flag, josh?

1:47 am

night nonnie -- well done!

doesn't show up for some countries, i think, just

1:47 am

wow, josh!

1:47 am

what country?

1:47 am

thought it was usa

the words show up where the flag normally is

1:47 am

> halfway! and I'm ti5!

i am from usa, but tonight i am lost in the desert of a massive 599-word grid

1:48 am

lol

1:48 am

I don't know how you all are getting so many words so fast

hence lieutenant colonel lawrence in my icon

1:48 am

40 days and 40 nights

1:49 am

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

1:49 am

well, slow and unsteady here....

1:49 am

I play those, too, josh; but, dang this grid is huge!

1:50 am

me 3

1:50 am

still do

the first 200 or so came very quickly for me - since then it's been mowing through tile by tile

1:50 am

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

1:51 am

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

1:53 am

26 from 1/2 way which is usually my time to go to list

1:53 am

yeah...easier to say when you're 2/3 there!! lol

1:53 am

that's when it gets excrutiatingly difficult, actually lol

1:54 am

I'm at 304, and I'm dead..still missing a word from the bottom left "o" or I'd have NBT...

1:54 am

334 here . . .

1:54 am

bingo!!!! finally got the an9

1:54 am

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

1:55 am

...and you're kickin' my butt now! (when we were virtually tied before)

clue that one, flosey, if you pls

1:55 am

hope it doesn't take that long to get the rest!

1:55 am

well, at least I've had NBT for a long time

/me lights up a spleef in honor of his 420th word

1:56 am

against + what they do with baseball players - and other sports, or type of winds

spliff, spleef, w/e

that's a 10, flosey

1:57 am

oh, sorry, worked on it for so long! but the an9 is a plural

1:57 am

I've finally hit 450

1:57 am

sounds like an eating disorder

1:57 am

the 10 is a plural too but there is no singular for it

1:57 am

no list, hugs?

1:57 am

no list

got it, ty

1:58 am

wow, kudos

1:58 am

well done huga

1:58 am

thanks Une

2:13 am

bye Josh

2:13 am

I'm following Josh...ciao mon amis...have a great Day!

2:13 am

sprite I just read what you wrote so nice to have that puppy to look forward to

2:13 am

jilli, I don't think anyone breezes through a grid this size, lol.

2:13 am

bye josh, later

2:13 am

GAH! I'm going to be out nearly all day today! *cries*

2:13 am

gn pav don't eat all the cheesecake

2:14 am

hi Ata

2:14 am

hurshy went to bed a while ago with 503 words, sprite!

2:14 am

gn josh too be good

2:14 am

bye josh

2:14 am

hello Ata and Hobbit

2:14 am

I never take my words to bed jilli lol

2:14 am

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.

2:15 am

and sprite, your mamadog-to-be looks so sweet

2:15 am

woooooot jilli, I take back my words. That is SO fast!

2:15 am

it will be worth the wait

2:15 am

doesn't she just, jilli :) Such a gentle face.

2:16 am

she looks a bit sad too -- perhaps apologetic for keeping you waiting?

2:16 am

Sprite Dana shes absolutely gorgeous! she will have beautiful babies

2:17 am

lol jilli, I think she is proving she is a spaniel. The dramatic look and the mind of her own.

2:18 am

like other red-heads?

2:18 am

1 and 1/2 hours. hmmm. don't think I'll start today. *cries*

2:18 am

yes we think so too, lobo, and I don't mind the wait, west. It will happen at the perfect time.

2:18 am

awwww Ata :( You could do a part?

2:18 am

lol jilli, possibly :D

2:19 am

noooo I'd want to FINISH!

2:19 am

there there, ata

2:19 am

poor Ata Hobbit give Mum a snuggle

Holy Cow what a grid!

2:19 am

*hugs Ata in an attempt to comfort*

2:19 am

hello Red

2:20 am

hiya red, and it is your fault. It is YOUR grid. You are in the middle.

2:20 am

hi red

2:21 am

2:21 am

hey rose :)

2:21 am

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....

2:21 am

2:22 am

is everybody's babble slow today? Or is it just me?

2:23 am

very slow probably the grid size Sprite

2:23 am

I was just going to say...my babble is very slow!

2:23 am

Mine's OK but I am not on BabbleExpert

2:24 am

same here, i mean mine's ok.

2:24 am

So off I go to bed -- night all -- *poof*

2:24 am

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.

2:24 am

2:29 am

I reckon about 350 then Ata

2:30 am

perhaps you can do the remaining 50 tonight then.

2:30 am

uninterrupted, maybe. but I have to make breakfast, have a shower, deal with the mutt as well

2:31 am

babblitus uninterruptus. That is a dream.

2:32 am

OMG!! No way I'll finish today's puzzle. Quite intimidating.

2:32 am

Morning all Just as well I have nothing specific planned for today, what a monster :)

2:32 am

lol mamabook, then just play as long as it is fun.

2:32 am

2:33 am

morning FM good fun grid

2:33 am

now now Ata, now now, there there.

2:33 am

I believe it is rolin Hello all :) why is Ata wingeing?

2:33 am

hi rolin, I seem to remember a 600+ grid, but that is very very long ago. Before pro ship for sure.

2:33 am

Hi FM, wrong weekend but you got your big grid - all your fault again?

2:33 am

hi Rolin

2:33 am

yes, me too sprite

2:34 am

because you have all the time of the world, FM, and Ata only 1 single hour!

2:34 am

because today of all days I have to spend all day in a meeting in london

2:34 am

lol guess I am going to be blamed for all sorts today :))

2:34 am

hi rolin

2:34 am

you have strong shoulders, FM, you can carry it ;)

2:35 am

On a Sunday Ata!! It Ata fault then *does happy dance*

2:35 am

Ata, is it that important? I don't mind calling them and tell them you are ill.

2:37 am

loool there must be soooo many re's! we are going to run out of purple crayons

2:37 am

oh de4, had not even thought of that. Too true, FM.

2:38 am

and yay I greyed a tile. Upper left corner O.

2:38 am

well done Sprite

2:38 am

*giggles* Well it is a start.

2:38 am

Think I had better put a extra room or two on the PB, think it might get full today, oh and some portaloos too :)

2:39 am

FM, what is a portaloo? Is that what it sounds like? So you don't have to go potty?

2:39 am

it's the Tolkien Society art show review, so yeah, it's important :P

oh you go potty alright, over everyone elses potty

2:40 am

roflol mrP, I realised when I entered that I was saying something weird.

2:40 am

Ata, stop whining! It is a wonderful day for you! Exciting too. Will think of you.

2:41 am

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)

2:42 am

sorry was reading email - portaloos are like the ones you get a ouside pop concerts.

2:42 am

ah, I was close then, but no cigar. I thought it might be a kind of potty-chair. Thanks!

2:42 am

I looked quickly and thought it was portholes

2:43 am

I suppose they could be used for that too in a fix

2:43 am

west good idea we wouldnt have to empty them ones

2:43 am

burp along, mrP, we don't mind. And lamb is sooo tasty.

2:43 am

lol west

2:44 am

and I love your icon and story too, mrP. Beautiful. Radiant. All three of you.

2:44 am

well I guess I had better make a start then ... I'm scared ;)

2:58 am

2:58 am

well, except for the re-words of course.

2:58 am

oh can we blame her then?? can we, can we?

2:59 am

are you delegating, FM?

3:00 am

sprite I like your way of thinking, hmmm, did try delegation before but always worth another try :)

ahh, got the te8/9

3:00 am

being able to delegate is a mark of a leader, FM :)

3:00 am

me too josh

3:00 am

wtg Hugs and josh. Now for trying to emulate you guys...

missing only 1 9 now, and uhhhh.......14 8's

Its a good thing DST only comes round 2 times a year. I am so so confused.

3:03 am

its ok I am used to it, I got a bed in it last night.

3:06 am

hi Lori

3:06 am

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.

3:07 am

wait till Lori click on the possible amount of re's !

3:07 am

Don't crush my moment, I hadn't even noticed that FM

3:09 am

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.

3:10 am

lol mrP, just like Caya. She claims she is never ever going to do something that gross :D I should have recorded that claim.

3:38 am

hello Elder

3:38 am

red, have a good day at work. Be good to yourself, ok?

3:38 am

Morning elder - a good grid for a Sunday, if you have nothing else planned :)

not a problem...

3:39 am

Hello Sprite. quite painful at times but feeling ok, just a few aches and pains, this morning and I slept well.

3:40 am

that sounds not too bad, elder. Now hoping it will work out as planned :) *careful hug to you*

3:40 am

GM all:)

3:41 am

morning chickie

3:41 am

hi Chickie!

3:41 am

Me too Sprite.Thank you. How are you? feeling any better.

3:41 am

Hi chickie, are you feeling any better?

3:42 am

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.

3:42 am

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.

3:42 am

hiya sprite,lyn.elder and Fm.

3:43 am

yay t's are greyed all 116 of the little blighters! Now on to the s's

3:43 am

*** hugs * Sprite. :) your doing great.

3:43 am

I admire you for working so systematically, FM. Don't know how you do it.

3:43 am

Probably a sensible idea elder, we would have to come and prise you out of your chair otherwise

3:43 am

TY Fm ,yes I think Iam on the mend now. lol

3:44 am

back first, elder, and grid last ;)

3:44 am

FMitch, so true lol

3:45 am

yes Sprite. I am planning to start back at work within the next few weeks, slowly but surely.

3:45 am

chickie, have you been ill?

3:45 am

Oh I will go random at some point sprite but I always start out z-a and then monkey like mad :)

3:45 am

it will lift your spirits to work again, I think, elder. Just don't overdo it? (yes mummmm)

3:45 am

t's just flowed today

3:45 am

Need to negotiate with new senior manager . Not an easy task.

3:46 am

amazing, FM.

3:46 am

you will need to go prepared then, elder. Practice the meeting with somebody even, perhaps.

3:46 am

I had the flu and I sprained my right shoulder but things are starting to get better ty.

3:47 am

glad you are starting to feel better, chickie

3:47 am

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.:)

3:48 am

Chickie, sorry to hear you have been unwell. But good that your on the mend.

3:48 am

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.

3:48 am

Ty sprite you are always so thoughtful

3:49 am

I just care is all, chickie. You guys are my babble buddies and you have a place in my heart.

3:49 am

Sprite.. lol :)

3:50 am

which is probably why I always end up with forgotten plurals and such...

3:50 am

Sprite, my reply in relation to your style of playing.

3:50 am

:)

3:50 am

yup, mine too, grin

3:50 am

*off to sin bin*

3:51 am

Sprite, I will email with an update in a few days.

3:51 am

who me ?

3:51 am

Oh no you don't spite - you will probably enjoy the sin bin rather than see it as punishment *giggle ir ti6*

3:51 am

will look forward to it, elder, take your time though. No, me to sin bin.

3:51 am

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.

3:52 am

aw FM, please please please? I promise to look sad.

3:52 am

*sprite even, doh!

3:52 am

ahh, I see. :)

3:52 am

LOL

3:52 am

Chickie, it would be great..I can hear all the chatter.

3:52 am

*positions herself on foot side of red's bed with a tray of champagne, strawberries, chocolate and cheese.

3:53 am

*struggles to maintain sad look on face*

yay rolin... i have no 9s... have the 10 and lots of 8s... weird

5:27 am

pl share

5:28 am

the 10... care to tell what it starts with pls?

5:28 am

an10... starts with prefix for against, or not

5:28 am

why did you choose an automatic rolin?

5:28 am

ends in plural though there is no singular form

5:28 am

an10, and it is a plural

5:29 am

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

5:30 am

it's a cute care rolin

5:30 am

Oh thats fair enough, I'll let you off then :)

5:30 am

thats exactly the word kje...its been a lobg time since ive had such a 'girlie' car

5:31 am

yes, it does look rather sissy-ish - LOLOL - i like it

5:31 am

well gee thanks mitch...lol

5:32 am

sissy...???....SISSY...???.... lemme take my ribbons out and ill deal with you properly...lol

5:32 am

my sister's name, bo6.24, is in the grid

5:32 am

ha!

5:32 am

lol I love a manual gearbox, guys who drive automatics are always suspect in my eyes. *just thinking out loud*

5:33 am

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

5:33 am

hmmm so theres a petrol head part of you huh??

5:33 am

yup - I confess here in babble land *hangs head*

5:33 am

:)

5:33 am

yippee, found my first nine.. and am rewarding myself with a fresh cuppa, brb

5:34 am

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

5:35 am

Aloy, what does your 9 start with, please

5:35 am

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)

5:38 am

an10 - against + to exchange for something else (plural)

5:39 am

ty,ty, got the an10

5:39 am

thanks city! Thought I had tried that but must have just been dreaming.

5:39 am

bbs

5:39 am

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

5:40 am

me too

5:40 am

city, what is you icon?

5:40 am

i have ti9 ... high pitched little laughter

5:41 am

city-the only ones I have so far are: ba9/66

5:41 am

I've got a ti9 that also has 2 x 8 a 7 and a 6 related to it

5:41 am

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.

5:41 am

gr9/66

5:41 am

TY - had none of those laughs... now I have lots

5:42 am

ty, rolin... guess I missed peri. My 9 was ba9, those who quibble with words

5:42 am

and there is a te 8/9 combo that builds off the opera singer

5:42 am

ti9/54

5:42 am

6:32 am

Dr god felt we needed something to do with our extra hour today i think

6:32 am

no kidding! i think it's the biggest i've seen in a few years

6:32 am

a worthy challenge for a sick day. going to peck away at it for a bit, then do laundry.

6:32 am

I could spend the day just watching peoples reactions when they first come on

6:33 am

ooh, sorry if you are not feeling well, feather

6:33 am

lol katie

6:33 am

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

6:35 am

caught my first 8 letter word

6:36 am

I've got 239 but am going to go to the list early

6:37 am

katie?

6:38 am

yes?

6:38 am

i have a culinary question for you

6:38 am

Ok

6:38 am

do you bake much during the holidays?

6:39 am

No to be honest baking isn't my bag at all

6:39 am

Mari (my mom) bakes a lot though so if you ask your question I could see if she could help

6:40 am

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?

6:41 am

Thanksgiving is a US celebration. We do Christmas.

6:41 am

We don't have thanksgiving but at Christmas we are very into mince pies

6:42 am

ah ... love mince .... well thanks giving is giving thanks for the harvest... so nothing like that eh?

6:43 am

At church we have a harvest festival but it is not a public holiday and most people do not celebrate it

6:43 am

We call that Harvest Festival in the UK and it is celbrated in chruches in the Autumn

6:44 am

LOL Katie - we were raised in the same community I think!

6:44 am

At least we are giving the same answers :-)

6:45 am

:)

6:45 am

very good well I know neither one of you are amiss at the celebrations in <England... if I used that word correctly

6:46 am

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

6:46 am

Of course, there is Guy Fawkes day. We made a big deal when I was a kid in Scotland.

6:46 am

and...good morning

6:47 am

morning sukee

6:47 am

We are having a massive firework party next weekend, apart from Christmas it's the biggest thing we do

6:47 am

hi sukee

6:47 am

morning sukee

6:48 am

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...

6:50 am

599! HOLY CARP!

6:51 am

Lol bzzn, you're not the first to say it :-)

6:51 am

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)

6:51 am

Hi, Bzz, yes it is the biggest grid ever

6:51 am

hehehe......bzz

6:51 am

good morning everyone:) my sentiments exactly Bzzn lol

6:51 am

11:53 am

i have 374 left

11:54 am

ae 5/10: eagle's nest

11:54 am

I can't wait for the election to be over .. it is such a looooooong process

i'll be glad if the right one wins, nan. until then i'm still a bit anxious

11:54 am

tuesday is too far away cyber... wish it was sooooooo over

11:55 am

There is something to be said for 45 day campaigns.

11:55 am

135 left here, going to the list now

11:55 am

i bet we wouldn't have had these 2 candidates if it had been a shorter primary process

11:56 am

Would that be a good or bad thing, Dorens?

11:57 am

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

11:57 am

I went to list with 135 to go and found i dont have a single ra and there are 19 of them!!

11:58 am

* eyes bugging out of head * This word count is a joke, right?

11:58 am

none of the other reps could have been half so scary... cuz none of the rest would have chosen palin

11:58 am

need 9 more ra's then

11:58 am

not to those of us who have spent the whole day here, judi

11:58 am

lol, kje

11:58 am

nope judi, unfortunately lol

11:58 am

help on the first me 6/21 please

11:58 am

hm... that is true, but rudy scares me to death on his own

11:59 am

ok, getting the list with 282 left, 317 found on first pass

11:59 am

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!

11:59 am

especially in drag..

11:59 am

first one I have ruru is brownie points

11:59 am

above that nan..

12:00 pm

actually in drag, he is more human

12:00 pm

still have 223 to go here -- would like to find at least 23 more before I go to the list

12:00 pm

There isn't enough make-up to make him less so...

12:00 pm

me6.21 a type of sheep famous in Aust - negarive word on the end

12:01 pm

no, rudy is not scarier than palin... not by a long shot

12:01 pm

just found it ruru -- the sheep

12:01 pm

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

12:02 pm

keep fooling yourself, dorens, we thought that about w... too dumb to do any real damage... and look now

12:03 pm

I think it would be more of a challenge today to find words that aren't in the grid. *lip diddling in shock*

12:04 pm

yikes, kje... bad dream there. but i never thought he was too dumb to do damage... as pres with cheney, he was in position

12:04 pm

help with dr7 please

12:04 pm

palin is no joke.. she is edging to come back for real..

12:04 pm

but will people actually vote for her????????? shudder

12:05 pm

Uhg. Can we please stop chatting about American politics? I'm sooooo sick of it.

12:05 pm

12:41 pm

Hi Peri! I have 313 left.

12:41 pm

I am stuck in re hell

12:42 pm

woot! 1/2 way!

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

12:42 pm

hello all. I got to 162 last night...

12:42 pm

Stid!!!!

12:42 pm

Nepali chili peppers sound like they might be hot. Are they?

12:42 pm

MONKEY!!!!

12:42 pm

well, so much for getting more words, hubby is now bringing in crabapples to make jelly!

12:43 pm

Hi stid!!

12:43 pm

Hiya, Stid!

12:43 pm

hi there stid

12:43 pm

ar 7?

12:43 pm

yay for hubby and jelly!!!! *grin* give him our love, please!

12:43 pm

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.

12:43 pm

ty stid, will do

12:43 pm

hi stid !

12:44 pm

wow. is anyone else having significant lag?

12:44 pm

I'm not up on my pepper heat levels. I'm guessing "bloody hot".

12:44 pm

hey peri

12:44 pm

yes stid

12:45 pm

need a break -- brb

12:45 pm

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.

12:45 pm

Stid - lag is due to obese size of grid today.

12:45 pm

Evening all Thought I would pop in and see how everyone is getting with this mammoth grid :)

2:35 pm

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.

2:35 pm

2:35 pm

Yay Congrats PAV!

2:36 pm

2:36 pm

2:36 pm

Hello again - what is the total point score? I am having a script problem and keep losing my word list

2:37 pm

10,300 ursh

2:37 pm

ursh total = 10300

2:37 pm

help with the last se 8/40 please

2:37 pm

any clues for the an 10?

2:37 pm

now thats a spicy point total:/

2:37 pm

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

2:37 pm

oh, btw, all this downloading is with dialup, that's REALLY the problem!

2:38 pm

Blast i finished but only show 380 odd words and 7000 odd points even tho i got fireworks

2:38 pm

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

2:38 pm

unfortunately we're fresh out of teenagers in this household so i have to actually do that stuff myself!

2:38 pm

an 10 is against swapping something for something else

2:38 pm

so there is no who's hot today? it's not just me?

2:38 pm

If you refresh ursh it will probably readjust - babble does go a bit funny with huge grids

2:39 pm

ir 6-7 combo?

2:39 pm

no it's not just you harp

2:39 pm

no-one can see it Harp

2:39 pm

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

2:39 pm

just know its not me

2:39 pm

ir is anger plus if u finish this grid before the flip u will have done it in the ***k of time, plus plural

2:40 pm

so it won't matter if i only do half the grid, we're all lukewarm today!

hi Pam

hi all - can anyone tell me how to switch from explorer to firefox?

4:48 pm

evening all, having fun?

hi sprite and TO

4:49 pm

hey sprite--

4:49 pm

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

4:51 pm

www.mozilla.com/firefox

that's what happens to me on ie, so on the large grids i use firefox

4:51 pm

hi sprite... are you done?

4:51 pm

IE is terrible for big grids.

4:51 pm

hi kje, yes, long done. Just updated icon themes and icon. Don't look if you are scared of bugs.

4:51 pm

hi sprite :)

i don't know if i can do it right nownfortunately

4:52 pm

I'm using IE and not having a problem...???

4:52 pm

what's tomorrow's theme?

4:52 pm

hi there sprite

4:52 pm

how are you doing these days?

4:52 pm

woohoo sprite - good for you!!!\

4:53 pm

hi carlee -- haven't seen you for a long time!

nri, how many wors do you have?

4:53 pm

slowly recovering from an ugly virus, am very low on energy. But will win the battle in the end :) How are you?

4:53 pm

508 done, 91 to go

4:53 pm

4:54 pm

4:55 pm

4:55 pm

bye, nan

4:55 pm

hi tyger

4:55 pm

life moving along is as it should be ;) Hi tyger!

hi tyger

hey, kje, sprite

4:56 pm

back again!

and ange

goodness, what a dreadful theme, spritey! I didn't think kje was that kind of pessimist

4:56 pm

I use the expert but not the Lickety Add box, because it lags too much.

hey, flosey :)

4:56 pm

oh, I"m not using expert, maybe that's why I am not having problems?

4:56 pm

*giggles* I think kje has some funny ideas.

the add box is slow only when the grid is big

4:57 pm

nrkii: no, it is related to IE and not Expert, as far as not listing all the words goes.

4:57 pm

cover your ears everyone----ready? HEY MET FAN--ARE YOU AWAKE??

4:57 pm

that was what I meant, tyger, sorry for being obscure. Only on really big grids.

and kje isn't even doing her own theme!???!

4:57 pm

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

4:58 pm

1st to7?

Isn't this the biggest grid ever?

4:58 pm

I've been in and out all day sprite - many interruptions

4:59 pm

its pretty darn close tyger

4:59 pm

how many left flos?

4:59 pm

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

4:59 pm

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

4:59 pm

lol

4:59 pm

took a break and went for a walk

5:00 pm

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

5:00 pm

wtg speedfreak :)

congrats speed

5:00 pm

YEA SPeed! Hi everyone

speed, sprite was just saying she and ata remember one with more than 600

5:00 pm

WOOHOO SPEED!!!

would turning off chat help?

5:01 pm

17 here flos

5:01 pm

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

5:02 pm

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.

5:02 pm

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

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

5:47 pm

lol...moron, herin...

5:48 pm

Ouuuuch. Numb nuts indeed.

5:48 pm

DONE

My friend has 2 HUGE dogs. One is police blood line and she will eat you if you piss her off.

Yah NR

5:49 pm

Goal in life: Do not get eaten by huge dog(s).

5:49 pm

I can't believe I made it through this whole grid... I need shepherd's pie and beer now... comfort food

5:50 pm

wtg nrkii

5:50 pm

YAY nrkii!!!

5:50 pm

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.

5:50 pm

bbl all!

5:51 pm

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

5:52 pm

Off for a pint. BBL.

Enjoy

5:53 pm

YAY for nrkii

5:53 pm

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

5:56 pm

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

5:57 pm

Hi Herin..

DR, you leaving??

Ta but i am not listing yet

5:57 pm

no- you said you were taking a break

5:58 pm

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

5:58 pm

oh... I get it

that's a proper noun, peach. the volcano doesn't start with A

5:59 pm

....AND.....Drumroll please

5:59 pm

Fireworks!!!

YAH peri

5:59 pm

WOOHOO Peri

5:59 pm

Oh, thanks.

5:59 pm

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!!!

6:00 pm

Yeah, Peri, and how do you all get 599 words? I am listless yet and only have 358. Might be here all night.

6:00 pm

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

6:00 pm

going to veg out in front of TV

6:01 pm

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 :)

6:02 pm

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

6:03 pm

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? ;)

6:04 pm

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

6:05 pm

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

6:05 pm

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

6:06 pm

8-)

yvw, herin

phae, didja have the in5?

Hey Fuquay, where are you at?

6:08 pm

got it, thanks

yw

6:08 pm

does the 10 mean "against something"

yes, it does, shiba

6:09 pm

k, thanks

want a definition?

6:09 pm

evening, back to plug away again

hey, feather

6:09 pm

feather!!

6:10 pm

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

6:11 pm

go tyger!

6:11 pm

I know I wont finsih

6:12 pm

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

6:13 pm

over half here, just started with the list not too long agao

6:13 pm

and is the 10 past tense?

Top A slayed

6:14 pm

expert seems to be moving super slow

no, shiba, it's plural, weird as that sounds

6:14 pm

k, thanks

6:14 pm

6:15 pm

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!

: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

7:06 pm

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

7:08 pm

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)

7:08 pm

I've done about 2 1/2 hours on it so far and got 115 left

7:08 pm

;(

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

7:09 pm

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 :)

7:11 pm

wtg ata; i've gotten about 190 in 1/2 hr, so fingers crossed

7:11 pm

Back for the last 26 words. All REs.

7:11 pm

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 :(

7:17 pm

Go go Bea! I am home now. 323 to go but my goal is halfway.

Hi Scrabbler

7:18 pm

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?

7:19 pm

Great accents-- I could have listened to those kids and Mum all day.

7:19 pm

I don't know about "ocker" though.

THat is the ocker accent if they are pure breeds from the bush.

7:20 pm

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

7:21 pm

OK, I will read up on it.

God i hate oprah

it was herin, but I do enjoy eating also.

Money is good though Red

8:08 pm

8:09 pm

moms are moms no matter where they are : )

Yes Jill

8:10 pm

yes jilli...

yes, I think its because the grid is so so big.

8:10 pm

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.

8:37 pm

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?

8:37 pm

You've been cruel to mice, ruru?

8:37 pm

It means it was a cool dream, ruru

Ruru you need to come visit me in Orlaaaando?

8:37 pm

I dreamed I was hanging out with the girl from clan of the cave bear

8:38 pm

are we interpreting the? I thought we were just shaing... i don't even want to imagine what my dreams mean

8:38 pm

Our brains are very weird! It must be the result of Babble addiction. *grins*

Ru you have been smoking LSD again

8:38 pm

but she came back in the present and everyone screamed because she was naked

8:38 pm

maybe they were commenting on the body, ruru?

8:39 pm

they screamed, miles?

8:39 pm

87 to go and I think I need either coffee or wine to finish this.

8:39 pm

* trying to ignore bald tatoos * ;)

8:39 pm

yes. so she had to come over to find clothes at my house

go get coffe Jac. I am soon to bed.

8:39 pm

same here jacula...

8:39 pm

my vote is alcohol jac

I have 304 to go...halfway is going to be good.

8:40 pm

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)

8:40 pm

then no alcohol for you miles

8:40 pm

I've gone for wine. I'll be awake all night if I have coffee.

8:41 pm

no drinkee and drivee

8:41 pm

enjoy jac

8:41 pm

Miles - I agree. Drinking and driving is a definite no no.

8:41 pm

I could use it too, because I cleaned the refrigerator and the freezer today

8:42 pm

It took , like, hours

8:42 pm

hey, me too miles...

8:42 pm

You mean you're a "Double D"? ;)

8:42 pm

And I do it frequently too. You too, kje? wow

8:42 pm

nah, took me maybe 20 minutes

8:42 pm

what pini?

8:43 pm

Diving into the grid again for a while.

8:43 pm

Was referring to Miles.. ;)

8:43 pm

lucky you. We have a college guy for a housemate, and he leaves stuff in there till it turns furry

8:43 pm

vote him off the island, miles

8:43 pm

revolting re words re7/32

8:44 pm

no, pini! Thank God...boobies would get in the way of my manly bod

8:44 pm

re7 - stopped working

EWW Mile. Give him paper plates

8:44 pm

but they're fine on other people...

8:44 pm

BarryO just arrived -- back in a bit (10 to go for foreworks)

8:45 pm

LOL Miles.

8:45 pm

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.

8:45 pm

wow, great jilli

8:45 pm

excellent, scrabs!!!!!

Well done Scrabler

8:45 pm

Good going, Jilli!

8:45 pm

sweet dreams scrab (free of balness and tattoos)

8:45 pm

LOL scrabs -- take care!

8:45 pm

wow, jilli, is right, kje!

8:45 pm

Then the paper plates would stick to the fridge surface, so I can't win

8:45 pm

'Night Scrabbs. Well done.

8:45 pm

bye scrabbs

8:45 pm

hey -- foreworks means 100 to go!

8:46 pm

no clues needed? if not, i will go do other things

8:47 pm

I'd ask, kje...but not sure where to start...

8:47 pm

Same here, Pini.

8:47 pm

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

8:48 pm

sweet dreams red

8:48 pm

Maybe, red.

8:48 pm

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!

8:48 pm

I hope Tuesday's is about 25 easy words

night REd

HI Lb

8:48 pm

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.

8:48 pm

woohoo LBD!!!! WTG!

Well it works in a many person house. then again i lived with a Vacuum that used to eat dead bread

8:49 pm

Hi and 'bye and well done, lbd.

8:49 pm

se8/40...

8:49 pm

congrat, lbd!

8:49 pm

YAY for lbd!!!

yah LB

8:50 pm

se + number + picnic pest

8:50 pm

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*

8:50 pm

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.

8:50 pm

hanging in to see the se8/40 clue (please without referring to another se word)

8:50 pm

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.

8:51 pm

se - sounds like 0 + fork prong

8:52 pm

thank you!

8:52 pm

Growing penicillin then, Herin?

8:52 pm

ty kje for the weird se8

8:52 pm

good for you red! sleep well

8:52 pm

yw

Jac yes

8:52 pm

Sleep well, red.

Like my bagel this am :( stupid weather

8:53 pm

77 more to go...oi

8:54 pm

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

8:54 pm

live jac live

8:54 pm

same here, jacula!

8:54 pm

and ty, kje, for the other se8 which I did recognise, lol

8:54 pm

I wish I had opened the grid earlier... no way i will finish this tonight

8:55 pm

How's everyone?

8:55 pm

in fact, it's so daunting that after finding 171 words, I feel like I'm done.

8:55 pm

good fungus

Insane

8:55 pm

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

8:56 pm

hi fungi

8:56 pm

599 to go here! *s*

8:56 pm

hi jilli

8:56 pm

108 here (brag)

8:57 pm

0 here (bigger brag) LOL

HI anyone i missed

8:57 pm

OK, off... will try for flip

8:57 pm

kje...you are good!

8:57 pm

geeze, obama just said "congradulate"!

8:57 pm

I only have 410...

8:57 pm

it is true, fungus... can't argue that : )

8:57 pm

bye kje

8:57 pm

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.

8:58 pm

can you actually hear the "d" in the mispronunciation?

8:58 pm

lol, jac

8:58 pm

yes indeed, miles, I hear Ts very well -- Brit background

8:58 pm

Pini...are you here???

8:59 pm

I've been Babbling for some years now (on and off the Internet, LOL) and it's the biggest grid I ever recall doing.

8:59 pm

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

9:00 pm

Is it generated by some random function?

Yes

9:00 pm

Yes Miles, it is.

9:00 pm

I'm here....

9:00 pm

wow

9:00 pm

just checking

9:00 pm

...I think my eyes are glazing over...

9:00 pm

yay miles! And I liked Baba Wawa's TwenTy TwenTy rather than Jenny Twenny.

9:01 pm

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.

9:01 pm

haha, jilli. That woman just can't tawk right

9:02 pm

603 or 604 if I remember the archived stuff correctly.

9:02 pm

I ain't never seed the like a this'n, but I'm jist a newbie, joined May 06

9:02 pm

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

9:02 pm

I used to

9:03 pm

The second form is correct, funguy.

9:03 pm

I used to go there, fungi

9:03 pm

I'm used to being called a fusspot too

9:03 pm

I agree, but it doesn't seem most people pronounce the d when they use it that way

9:03 pm

I thought the extra hour was yesterday????

9:03 pm

oh, I see what you mean, fun

um i dont know

9:04 pm

Did you type 'fungi' 'cos there wasn't mushroom. jilli? :D

9:04 pm

yes, people are very loose with language, esp here in usa

9:04 pm

We got the extra hour LAST weekend here in UK.

9:04 pm

they'd have to pause and practically make the same sound twice...instead "we" often just run it together.

repeats what was i thinking

9:04 pm

I like the UK for that very reason...

9:05 pm

ok...I'm dumb...what's the last ta4/4???

9:05 pm

ppl often say it like, "I useta go there"

9:06 pm

is it the one to do with weighing, pini?

9:06 pm

I prefer useta to use... when people write I use to do that, it makes my skin crawl, lol!

9:06 pm

I useta go to uston

9:06 pm

yu r killing me

9:07 pm

lol, funguy!

9:07 pm

don't much like textspeak, either, LOL

9:07 pm

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!

9:07 pm

ta4/4 - black gooey stuffs

9:07 pm

not sure smiles...elaborate?

9:07 pm

but at least textspeak is just that...

9:07 pm

me neither...I was just being stoopid

9:08 pm

LOLOLOL, jilli

9:08 pm

I don't like text abbreviations either in sentences, but I'm fine with those such as BBL, LOL, etc.

9:08 pm

when you zero a scale to weigh something, pini

9:08 pm

I kinda like textspeak :D

9:08 pm

oh why did i look here now/ i think this is the biggest puzzle i've ever seen. evening babblers

9:08 pm

oh, crapola...fish me now!

9:08 pm

just venting, miles, not upset with anyone

9:08 pm

w8t, pam, wot u mean u dnt lk txtspk?

9:08 pm

fish!!

9:08 pm

30 8 letter words?

9:08 pm

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

9:08 pm

haha, jac

9:09 pm

txtspk is a lot like American Speedwriting, wot I learned back in the 70s. LOL.

9:09 pm

herin, the one book I did write took years, and I don't have years

:( that was the great dane book yes?

9:09 pm

Prince spoke in textspeak before there was even the internet

9:10 pm

Opus is gone!

9:10 pm

nothing compares 2 u...

9:10 pm

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

9:10 pm

yep, herin, but I also put together 3 books for my grandkids which bored them stiff.

9:10 pm

Miles - yes. The artiste formerly known as 'squiggle'.

OH Jill i would find it fascinating

9:11 pm

right...now Beyonce wants ppl to call her Sasha Fierce!

9:11 pm

I may start jotting down memories -- should have started saving my bio remarks I guess

9:12 pm

Does she? Why?

9:12 pm

Am I he only one who feels bad that Opus is gone?

9:12 pm

Stuck on the te4/4 (before or after the golf stand)

9:12 pm

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

9:13 pm

>12 & <20

9:13 pm

So, what does 'fierce' mean now? Has it changed its meaning like 'gay'?

9:13 pm

sorta. I think people are using it in place of "cool"

9:13 pm

okay, diving in to get rid of the remaining Rs...also need some dinner (bison steak, potato patty, braised celery)

9:14 pm

oh ok - had it but didn't put it on list - duh :(

9:14 pm

mmmm, jilli can I come over??

9:14 pm

fierce has a few meanings, as I recall... "hot" as in gorgeous... fierce as in fashionably stunning....

9:14 pm

My stepdaughter is driving me almost mad by using the word 'dodgy' to describe just about everything from 'nervous' to 'not up to scratch'.

9:14 pm

I had a turkey sand with hummus on cheese bread

9:15 pm

not as nice sounding as bison steak

Jac they do that. How old is she?

9:15 pm

sounds dodgy to me (hee!)

9:15 pm

having been a step daughter, they can drive one mad absolutely on purpose

9:16 pm

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.

9:16 pm

will I am back to dive in to see how much I can find. I still have 205 words! doubt I will finish

9:16 pm

I go on jags with words sometimes. Sometimes they sound funny, sometimes just cool

9:16 pm

no one here knows about Opus?

9:16 pm

Herin - she'll be 14 next month.

9:16 pm

lol, jAC

9:16 pm

the dreaded kangeroo--hope there's no melamine in there!

9:16 pm

I don't, fg

9:16 pm

Last day, right, fun?

OH dear. Sorry Jac but your screwed

9:16 pm

'nn'ay be tofu version

9:17 pm

tofuroo

9:17 pm

howdy all. 95 to go and i'm losing it.

9:17 pm

Herin - you're not a bit sorry. I can tell!

9:17 pm

the Opus cartoon...the lovable penguin...today was the last day

9:17 pm

I've given up almost completely...it's more fun today just to chog

9:17 pm

yep, pam

9:18 pm

Hi skoo. Jellification of the brain is a foregone conclusion today.

:P well i was a right little bugger as a teenager. Hi Skoo

9:18 pm

really? no more Opus?

9:18 pm

a monster.

9:18 pm

like Opus a lot, he'll be missed...

9:18 pm

but a fun monster.

9:18 pm

Herin - you're still a right little b*gger!

9:18 pm

I was inconsolate when "The Far Side" stopped

9:18 pm

inconsoloble

9:19 pm

kje clued a st8/45 eons ago.... Can't find it, after all of this... help!

9:19 pm

Miles - just so long as you're not incontinent.

9:19 pm

opus was good years ago; got blue w/ original doonesbury break, then Calvin & Hobbes

9:19 pm

Iat least you weren't incontinent!

9:19 pm

Funguy - we think alike.

9:19 pm

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

9:19 pm

I hope not, Jac

9:19 pm

and could i get a clue for the dr6/27, please?

9:19 pm

s + canvas dwelling + either ** + pl

9:20 pm

9:24 pm

potty break time and more ramblings about the house

9:26 pm

rhye'nn'es w/ show before 6 in evening

9:26 pm

gr 8 = the 7 above it with another silent vowel onthe end

9:26 pm

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.

9:27 pm

I need GR 6 between saying hello and big smile pls

9:27 pm

thx phandmd

9:27 pm

Now, I really must put my snorkel on and dive back into the depths of the grid.

9:28 pm

pl the gr5

How many GR 8''s are there please

9:29 pm

2

cheers

9:30 pm

Thns so much. I can't believe how many words came from that one letter!

9:30 pm

Hi Une.

9:30 pm

9:30 pm

hey, jac

9:30 pm

te6/18 is one who rent

9:31 pm

9:33 pm

100 more . l. .

9:35 pm

9:36 pm

utter again or repeatedly

9:36 pm

aha! thx

9:36 pm

yw :-)

9:37 pm

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

9:38 pm

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

9:39 pm

I normally do it that way, too, Tyger...but even that is slow going today... :(

9:40 pm

i keep hoping that being listless and adding the old-fashioned way will be good exercise for my fingers, LOL

9:41 pm

444 that's not ominous is it?

9:41 pm

better than 666

it will certainly be exercise :D :P

9:41 pm

let's hope!

9:41 pm

lol, tyger...

9:42 pm

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

9:42 pm

clue for the second ni 5/10 please

9:43 pm

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

9:43 pm

ni5/10 = days and ni***

9:44 pm

ni5 --ni plus heavy weight

9:44 pm

thanks, saan

9:44 pm

welcome!

9:46 pm

think I'm gonna go eat..prob not back till flip. I got about 240 in 2 hrs. Could be worse

9:46 pm

bye all

9:46 pm

cya l8r smiles

finally!!!

9:47 pm

ciao, miles

9:47 pm

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

9:48 pm

wtg tyger

9:48 pm

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

9:50 pm

excellent, tyger!

I may go back and have another cookie. haven't made up my mind

9:50 pm

33 more to go for me...

9:50 pm

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

9:51 pm

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?

9:52 pm

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.)

9:53 pm

well, you impress teh hell out of me, tyger!!!!!

9:53 pm

Wow, jac, that is babbling addiction!

9:53 pm

*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

9:53 pm

herin, i didn't go to the list till I hit the last 150 or so

9:53 pm

listless this big? dang...you're a babble goddess!!!

9:53 pm

I am, herin, but then, i don't use the list

Cool

9:54 pm

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 :( :( :(

9:55 pm

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

9:55 pm

why not call tonight?

9:56 pm

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

9:56 pm

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??

9:56 pm

wouldn't CPS take them if you called in tonight though?

and sometimes, just hiccupping screams - in the middle of the night?

9:57 pm

why wait?

9:57 pm

Just call the next time you hear it... the authorities will come--esp since there are children there--and they will assess the situatioin

9:57 pm

Depends what the noises comprise of, tyger.

9:57 pm

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"

9:57 pm

And, a few neighbors called... it was horrid

9:57 pm

hiccoughing screams in the middle of the night might be nightmares.

9:57 pm

Finished!! This is the longest grid I have palyed and finished

9:58 pm

Authorities can assess the immediateness based on your account of what you hear/observe.

yay, bubba

9:58 pm

The police can do it here, so I don't know

9:58 pm

wtg bubba

9:58 pm

WOOOO HOOOO, bubba

9:58 pm

actual beatings are an entirely different matter.

D's done

YAH BUBBA

not with loud banging, jac

9:58 pm

Well done, bubba!

and it's not always in the middle of the night

9:59 pm

Clues anyone? before I go

9:59 pm

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

9:59 pm

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

10:00 pm

They may not have officers who can, but undoubtedly have "volunteers" available for such situations...

10:00 pm

I'm calling tomorrow

10:00 pm

I can appreciate that. But when I was being beatne, tortured, i wish someone asked someone to check.

10:00 pm

nite all

10:00 pm

ciao, bubba

10:00 pm

night bubba

10:00 pm

nite, bubba

10:00 pm

this is MS, and the family is black

10:01 pm

glad you are calling , tyger

10:01 pm

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.

10:01 pm

I have to be careful

oh

10:01 pm

Well, for me it was NYC, and no one believed a white jewish mother would do what she was doing...

10:01 pm

The authorities can keep your name annonymous ... they neighbors don't have to know.

10:01 pm

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

10:02 pm

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.....

10:02 pm

I don't thinks what colour a person or family is, is the issue.

10:02 pm

ed6 anyone?

10:02 pm

"they" may not know that even you can hear it!

10:02 pm

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

10:02 pm

Pam - I understand where you're coming from.

10:03 pm

I am sorry you hear it, tyger....

10:03 pm

ed6: adj reminding of Adam's first home

10:03 pm

Garden of Ed** + 2/3 of frozen water

10:03 pm

thanks, jac.

10:03 pm

RE 7/8 pair after what you guide a horse with?

10:03 pm

10:03 pm

Well they got to go back into the ground sometime. Or Vampires for that matter.

10:05 pm

discreet or not, I can't stand it anymore

That is were tombstones came from

10:05 pm

I have a responsibility as a Christian, if nothing else

10:06 pm

people with other religious beliefs have similar obligations, AFAIK, but that's mine

Tyger you have responsibility as a person.

10:06 pm

you know, it's a responsibility as a compassionate human being...

10:06 pm

whatever. I just can't take it. we believe in discipline in my family, with spanking if needed, but this ain't spanking

10:07 pm

what is AFAIK?

10:07 pm

As Far As I Know

10:07 pm

Simply put...YOU can be the voice of the children who cannot speak for themselves. ;)

10:07 pm

right, pini

10:07 pm

thanks, tyger!

10:07 pm

yw :)

10:07 pm

And, thanks, too, for advocating for the children!

10:07 pm

re 7/32 before vomit?

10:08 pm

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

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

ugh, herin, that's horrid....

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

10:08 pm

10:09 pm

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

10:09 pm

have you had therapy/counseling since, babe?

yep. Been there done that. Better now Have the bestest not hubby ever

10:10 pm

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

10:10 pm

I'm very much in favor of counseling, so long as people get the right therapist

10:11 pm

Thankfully, I got one who specialized in PTSD, though I did not know I had PTSD at teh time....

10:11 pm

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 :(

10:11 pm

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

10:11 pm

with beating, I'm not at all surprised you had PTSD, pam

I have wonderful drugs (just kidding)

10:12 pm

well, herin, when we're young, we can be stupid sometimes. at least you finally got out of it

10:12 pm

ok, I need the RE 5/14, RE 6/21, and 7/32 just above the vomit word

Pam you are moving back to America sometime this week??

10:12 pm

re5/14: put a price on again

10:12 pm

yep. beatings and psych and emotional torture... not to prattle on, but it sucked. and sucked that it was my mum doing it and my dad avoided home, so he enabled... Every year is another I have survived and thrived, tyger!!!

Tyger i just celebrated 5 years with himself on the weekend. He is the best b.f ever.

10:13 pm

LOL, yes. After tuesday, regardless of outcome, herin....

well, 87 left -- no way to finish. As I said before, although others thought it was a pice of cake (a big one), I thought this grid stank on dry ice. It's full of obscure words and is so big the site almost choked on it, slowing things down horribly. Boo.
