YAY Dart. Kudos.

usually like to do it sans list....but 150 left and used it...and still took a long time

3:24 am

3:24 am

3:25 am

hi ruby

3:25 am

I couldn't believe my eyes! At first I thought that was a 1~

3:25 am

hello dart

3:25 am

((rose}}

3:26 am

hey ruby...ni4 and awake i hope

3:26 am

I've had no time to play (or barely) these last couple of days with husband's daughter here and yard men in and out all day (11 days now)

3:28 am

and endless rain

3:28 am

how are you feeling, rose? and husband?

3:28 am

poop on the rain, ruby.....

3:29 am

we have so much mud in the house, I may plant grass on the kitchen floor (only kidding, but you can imagine)

3:29 am

felling okay today..and himself actually got the mower and line-trimmer out today, and levelled some grass

3:30 am

level some grass...i like that lol

3:30 am

in Queens, where I grew up, there were people who cementedover their yards and painted the cement green

Clues are up

3:32 am

hi mrp!

3:33 am

sounds like a great idea, ruby. we are actually digging out the yard to level it, then putting down a stone topping, with paths, which mother mac can negotiate with her walker.

3:33 am

thanx mrp. would have died hours ago, without your help

3:34 am

we were going to put in paving stones in the part where the grass won't grow (hence, the mud), but I'm cutting down the monster-plant which is making to much shade and we'll re-plant the grass

3:34 am

hi mrp

3:35 am

uh oh, do I have to go to the pb for saying hello to granny before I looked at the grid?

3:35 am

nah, ruby, i'll forgive you

3:36 am

with 744 words in grid...amazed you can say anything in the chat

3:37 am

true, dart

3:37 am

lol, dart, too true

3:37 am

this is my first "monster grid"

3:38 am

3:39 am

nov 02 599 words.....10300 pts

3:39 am

well got to 233 but mud be off to enjoy our day out - good luck to you all with the grid

3:40 am

never saw one over high 300's, but I've only been playing for 2 years or so

3:40 am

hi and bye kazzer

3:40 am

i am working my through the columns - reckon if i can get 100 words per column will end up with at least 500 obvious words - nice to dream

3:40 am

{{ursh}}

3:41 am

I'm doing this randomly, hit or miss, as my time is so limited with a houseguest!

3:41 am

only 63 in the last column

3:41 am

oh dart now you burst my bubble !!

3:42 am

160....197...245....79.....63....for the column totals :)

3:43 am

e's extinguished

3:45 am

well ok - rethink the strategy

3:50 am

h's hunted

3:50 am

this is crazy, but fun!

3:51 am

sure is, ruby

3:54 am

oh, c'mon, in8 and in7/9....really....weird words

3:54 am

3:55 am

3:56 am

it is!@ PB for me

3:56 am

NOT!

3:57 am

3:58 am

3:58 am

ruby....this is a great grid.... just need to keep plugging at it

3:59 am

4:00 am

*poof*

4:00 am

4:04 am

4:32 am

mrp, even with lickkety's list, floundering

4:33 am

true, ivesy

4:33 am

I'm not even at half :(

oh rose! it isn't the easiest grid! I do have a grid for about 900, and the words are relatively easy

4:36 am

I have been closing my eyes and typing ... been getting quite a few words

4:36 am

chole

4:36 am

sounds like a good method, BR

4:36 am

pb for me

4:36 am

not a word so no pb

4:36 am

surprise, surprise, br

4:38 am

okay, officially into the second half of the alphabet. ;)

4:39 am

1.5 hours in, 1 numb bum, 4 coffees down, and I've just started the third row. Amazing how three little numbers (744) can really put a hex on your weekend plans.

4:40 am

rofl, dachef

4:42 am

n's negatede, o's ousted

4:45 am

my method works well ... up to 36 already

4:46 am

4:54 am

OMG , hi everyone

4:54 am

5:20 am

hi sprite

5:20 am

hi Andree :)

5:21 am

hi rose :) Good job!!!

5:25 am

this is driving me nuts...stuck in the p's

5:26 am

lol! We have had grids with less words than just a single P tile today!

5:27 am

i know, but it doesn't help me any tonght

5:28 am

*hugs rose* Use the list, hun. This is almost impossible to finish without some help at the end.

5:29 am

sad news, i am using the list....not much help

5:29 am

ow LOL! Poor you! List and a2z then.

5:33 am

just a hint...if using list, get all the lower letters (eg Us and Ts) first, otherwise they disappear, with a big grid, when you log back on

5:33 am

{{sprite}}

5:33 am

good one :) Hi dizgrannie. And hi ruby :)

5:34 am

back with a Bloody Mary; perhaps it will help me get to half.....

5:34 am

ruby,alcohola lways helps

5:34 am

lol... I am having a ball here. The grid is fun, but the posts are fun too.

5:35 am

oh, dear, * alcohol*\

5:35 am

maybe yes, maybe no. until I fall asleep

5:35 am

lololol girls, not too much. If you cannot type words in chog, you cannot type them in the grid, remember ;)

5:35 am

alcohola sounds likea mixed drink combined with a Hawaiian dance

5:35 am

LOL Granny, like alcohola better

5:36 am

lol, ruby, maybe that's what we need

5:36 am

dances are always good

5:36 am

I just bored my DIL to death, showing her my bird book with all the local birds I've seen since coming here; her eyes glazed over....lol

5:37 am

5:37 am

ruby, LOL

5:37 am

BTW, had a checkup yesterday (first in 5 or 6 years) and my doctor said"You look much better than the last time I saw you!" The question is, "Is that good or bad?"

5:38 am

that is good, hun. Very good.

5:38 am

meet me in the PB, bloody Mary's for everybody

5:38 am

speaking of alcohol, chirrosis is ALMOST a phantom

5:39 am

GRANNY hugs. and ANdree Hugs and doff

Grannie I found the most frustrating thing about target today

5:44 am

I weigh 1 kg more than my last checkup; doc thinks that's why I look better (went to my face, maybe?)

5:44 am

good on you herin

Tell him your Aussie friend sent it too you

5:45 am

<--skinny chicken-old-lady

5:45 am

you have Target in Oz?

Yes

5:46 am

just pr's to go on the p's

Thanks. Target are ticking me off by buying from America and just wacking on their brand. SO an 18 is infact a 16

5:47 am

... 10% ... ... long way to go

5:47 am

oh my lord & taylor!!

5:47 am

when I was in the fitting room biz and Target was just getting started (an offshoot of the big Minn chain whose name escapes me at the mo), I designed their prototype fitting room for their first store (all puffed up)

5:47 am

lil monkey told me the size of the grid! just couldn't believe it!!

5:47 am

if that upper right C had been a G, we would have had 788 words today.

5:48 am

hi littlebit :)

5:48 am

aaaah, Dayton-Hudson duh

5:48 am

hey sprite!!

5:48 am

hi littlebit

5:48 am

hey ruby!!

Hey Little

5:49 am

and the big joke (somewhat inside!!) was you pronounced it "Targay"

744 is this an all time high??

5:49 am

I found 2x10 and one 11 and they are normal words :D :D :D

5:49 am

hey herin!

5:49 am

hi little and thats a cheering thought sprite

pearl

5:49 am

:) Andree, isn't it just!

Ruby I grabbed my size 18 target jeans today that are about 8 years old and put them up to their new 18's they were a good size 16 different

well PB right out of the gate

5:49 am

good one, dJean.

5:49 am

and for you, Jean, sending you a necklace to wear in the PB! XX

5:49 am

the only hard part about this grid is finding the words

5:50 am

BabbleRabble! Great to see you.

5:50 am

hi babble

5:50 am

Hello

5:50 am

how have you been?

5:50 am

5:50 am

5:50 am

I've noticed, as you buy more and more expensive shoes, your size goes down!

5:50 am

{{andree}}

5:51 am

I have been better but no acute distess

Hi BR.

5:51 am

we are all going to be working on this so long that it will be like a pajama party

5:51 am

hello

5:51 am

glad to he4 things are manageable. I have missed seeing you here.

I actually heard someone else complaining in the shoes that the sizes have gone down too. I am a size 10 shoe every where yet today I was size 11. I gave up and bought a mens boot

5:52 am

I love pajama parties

5:52 am

that's funny, herin, when I was working, and starting having a little more $$, I went from a size 7 to a 6 1/2

I don't own any pajamas

5:52 am

with the size of this grid...isn't every word we use gonna put us in the PB! lol

5:52 am

no problem, dJean, you can come nekkid

excellent

5:53 am

you could improvise, jean, but DIL has just installed SKYPE, so I guess I have to get dressed now. Can you see me?

5:53 am

you'll all run away screaming!

yes, comb your hair a little eh?

5:54 am

(embarrassed)

5:54 am

and a little makeup wouldn't hurt!

when I use skype I turn the camera out the window

5:54 am

tsk we are all babble friends together, come natural.

5:55 am

I haven't used it yet, but I think I'll put the puppy on my lap to hide my face

5:55 am

my son wants me to use it

PIZZA yah healthy vegi choice one too

5:55 am

I cannot say I would get too excited about some pajamas partying

5:55 am

don't be silly. Our faces reflect who we are. And we are beautiful people.

5:55 am

uh oh, is that in the grid too, lol?

5:55 am

you haven't seen my baby dolls yet then, BabbleRabble.

5:56 am

you're still young, sprite!~

5:56 am

good, no D - think how many words there'd be then, oh my!

6:17 am

depends on where you put it, lol

6:18 am

How large has the largest ever been? I have never seen over like 500.

6:44 am

Ooooh thanks Sprite.

6:45 am

thanks ruby!

6:45 am

perfect, since this is a pajama party!

well, it is good i decided not to do much today! it coincides nicely. I sure hate whne I have a rest do nothing day and the grid is 44 words..

6:46 am

I have once seen one of almost 600. Very long ago.

6:46 am

indeed. Or a grid like this comes on a day that I really cannot play.

6:46 am

when you were a mere child!

6:46 am

744??? 744??!!!!

6:46 am

lickety's page says 599 was the previous record

yes and good morning Crossy!

6:46 am

and variations on your name, sweet boy!

6:47 am

that was the one, rbud.

6:47 am

{{sweet cr***y)

6:47 am

i be in the grid:))

6:47 am

hiya cr5y! We cannot comparative you today.

6:47 am

well, "for Last 2156 grids", so maybe not.

6:47 am

I comparative him all the time!

6:47 am

... well I'm 20% done and still have as many left as existed in the previous record ...

6:48 am

you can try, ruby, but you won't valid him that way :D

6:48 am

my mrs compares me to many things,some of them not very nice at times:(

6:48 am

it is a rich feeling, isn't it dos! So many words!

6:49 am

<-- loves cr***y -- and sprite, too!!!!

6:49 am

I am sure you deserve them at that time, cr5y ;)

this one is enormous.

I am astoubded.

6:49 am

128 c,s...good grief...

6:49 am

I showed my DIL and this made her eyes gloss over like the bird book LOL

6:49 am

(((ruby)))

6:49 am

this is one to jump into and type away. Just enjoy the riches.

6:50 am

<-- loves ruby right back

6:50 am

well,god hates a coward,so in i go!..sploosh!

6:50 am

I think we are all really lucky or even blessed.....

Myauthor is in here.

I hope so ruby.

6:51 am

you are never a coward, cr5y. But man, you make a BIG splash there. *grabs towel*

6:51 am

OMG..just got here. 744!?!?!

6:51 am

freud?

6:51 am

jung?

6:52 am

hi Jes... Yes!

hate to think how many re words there must be today

6:52 am

berkowitz?

No- K*A*P*L*A*N*'S author. rosten.

6:52 am

this grid is sure acting ike it has 700 + words in it...

Who is Berkowitz?

6:53 am

I'm OK, you're OK

6:53 am

don't hardly have to look at the grid, just type, lol, and most of them work, whee! ;p

6:53 am

it's only kidding, angel

6:53 am

oh my goodness. 744 words!!!!! What a day this will be.

6:53 am

Good morning

6:53 am

I remember that book

6:53 am

6:53 am

hi Mom.... Hi Lynxxx

6:54 am

Hi mom

6:54 am

Hiya Red

6:54 am

6:54 am

6:54 am

hi Mom

6:54 am

(((Ruby))) good morning. How is the newest addition to your family?

6:54 am

Hi ((nono))

6:54 am

this grid (and chog) beat that therapy!

6:54 am

he is the cutest

6:55 am

I am ok you are ok You are not in this world to live up to my expectations and I am not in this world to live up to yours. You are you and I am I. And if by chance we find eachother it's beautiful

6:55 am

I am telling Terra not to be scared!

Sprite- Fritz Perls makes me barf.

6:55 am

and Berkowitz was a very good therapist. His wife is/was Mildred Newman. They wrote the book together

6:55 am

*holds bucket for Kaplan*

6:56 am

don't know perls..... should I?

6:56 am

(next I'll want to hear Desiderata, lol...)

Gestalt.

6:56 am

um, lurker here. Biggest grid I've seen by factor of 3 or so. Anyone know if there has been a larger?

Wrote that poem, I believe.

6:56 am

<--- moves my breakfast away as not to get barf on it

6:57 am

lol rbud! I don't think I know that one by heart still.

6:57 am

Hi Girlie. This is the largest as far back as I can remember

6:57 am

I had a gestalt psychiatrist and when he felt I was "OK" he said "Now you have the cards, so play the game!"

6:57 am

hi girlie! No, this is the biggest ever. We had one of almost 600 once.

hi girlie, I lurk a lot lately too, and they say its the biggest...

It must be because of global warming.

The size of the grid, I mean.

6:57 am

he girlie

Biggest on record.

6:58 am

"know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em", huh, ruby?

6:58 am

good thing it's the weekend!

6:58 am

or even hi*

6:58 am

I like that Ruby, you have the cards saying

6:58 am

good one, ruby

6:58 am

hahah rbud!

6:58 am

biggest ever. I remember from before the records.

6:59 am

i must remember to take a screen shot of this grid before the flip:) it is like hooking a 200 pound fish,nobody will believe you unless you have a picture lol

6:59 am

*Holds pretty tarp over Mom's breakfast*

6:59 am

lol indeed cr5y

6:59 am

I have to go out for a bit this morning but once I get back home I have told my sweetie my butt is glued to the chair

6:59 am

exactly, cr***y

6:59 am

I have word opportunity anxiety. Is that a thing?

I have 191 words...thts like a whole grid!!!

6:59 am

thanks Molly and good morning

6:59 am

Indeed, I kept looking at the seven thinking I was seeing things wrong. Or having a nightmare.

6:59 am

it is as from today, girlie

7:00 am

i thought it was 74

7:00 am

raise hands if that is acceptable

I think we all took a double take...there is a definite feeling of "whheeee, and OMG!"

7:00 am

You can put anything before anxiety. Performance anxiety, large grid anxiety, etc.

7:00 am

that's like interviewing for a new job, girlie

7:00 am

404 - getting there!

7:00 am

life anxiety?

7:01 am

I think so too, rbud!

7:01 am

at least lickety's up, lol, there'll be sooo many straggling plurals for me to find later, I'll bet

7:01 am

wonder how the boys and girls at the flip made out??

7:01 am

532 left here

7:01 am

hello Godthaab

7:01 am

<---Did not have Whee feeling

7:01 am

woot godthaab, great going

7:01 am

hello god!

Does anyone seriously feel they HAVE to finish this??

7:01 am

Hi, kids, i Just hit exactly half - 372 - wow! nice, though since this is my last Babble before I leave tomorrow - :)

7:01 am

yes

7:01 am

I bet at least one said cr4

7:01 am

after 463 just greyed my first square!

7:01 am

wow JBV, they did it for you, no doubt

7:01 am

i said something to that effect sprite lol

7:01 am

I love it! It's like a party because everybody stays longer than usual. With the tiny grids you catch your friends' backs.....

7:02 am

I never feel I HAVE to finish. But I WANT to. Yes.

7:02 am

I usually spend so much time monkeying words I think it has actually made my vocabulary smaller

7:02 am

so it's like getting a whole week's worth in one day

7:02 am

lol ivesy!

7:02 am

enough Babble here to tide you over, JBV, do you think? ;p

Modest goals today.

7:02 am

lol girlie

7:02 am

{{JBV}}

7:02 am

more than enough, rbud :)

7:02 am

hello JBV

7:02 am

i want to finish this one.. i must i must becuz im addicted to it.. tomorrow we will prob have 30 words

7:02 am

If I had nothing else to do but sit in front of the computer, I "might" finish this.

7:02 am

hi Mom

Name that little girl at the Plaza.

7:03 am

... or 1,319 words

7:03 am

lots of other things to do, but managing.

7:03 am

Eloise!

7:03 am

heloise

7:03 am

admires mollys will power ... :)

ding ding ding

7:03 am

eloise!

7:03 am

well, I have to go down to work in 4 hours, but I can just sit there and do this, too, if I like - great job! :)

7:03 am

ruby I'm going to be near you on the other side of the mountain - could not coordinate a trip to France this time, but I don't stop dreaming

Me too- I wanna go to Paris.

7:04 am

next time, JBV, and BON VOYAGE!!!!

JBV, it sounds like a great rip none-the-less.

7:04 am

we're only 4 hrs (by train) from Paris

7:04 am

sounds like a great job rbud

7:04 am

thanks, ruby

err trip.

7:04 am

Ivesy, it's not will power. I just play this game for fun. There is no compulsion to finish or attain rankings status.

7:04 am

it has been cold and rainy for two weeks

7:04 am

a quiet afternoon in the library, no doubt, Saturdays are always slow here.

7:05 am

I am so excited I can't stand it

7:05 am

I am totally ready - have been for days... just waiting now

7:05 am

poor DIL, came here to work in the garden and go on walks NOT!

7:05 am

Safe and happy travels to you JBV

7:05 am

Saturdays are a big draw at our libraries

7:05 am

I hope you have a marvelous time, JBV!

7:05 am

enjoy your trip JBV

7:05 am

im just the opposite. i feel i must finish, crazy i know

7:05 am

I'm sure Italy will be warmer

7:05 am

not crazy, ivesy, determined

I have a plan to go to the library. I may just veg on the couch all day. I'm really tired from my work week these days.

7:06 am

thank you everbody -

7:06 am

there is still snow in the mountains; it was warmer in February

7:06 am

I am in between, I guess... I love to finish, but I don't have to.

7:06 am

vegging sounds like a good plan then, red.

7:06 am

I'll wave at your plane

7:06 am

Red, last time I saw you you were applying for a different job, did it pan out?

7:07 am

are you landing in Milan or Rome?

7:07 am

MIlan, my cousins live in Pinerolo

7:07 am

first year or so,i used to feel driven to finiosh,but no longer.babble is more than that.if i finish,i finish,if i do not then that is fine also

7:07 am

then off to Sicily towards the end of the week

7:07 am

... There couldn't be 107p without the having to remember Danny kaye in The Court Jester

7:07 am

hello doseffing

7:07 am

lol dos!

The chalice in the palace?

It did. I got hired to do the infection prevention at the hospital. It's been good so far, but I struggle with one supervisor-personality...she really is not my supervisor, but since she has been there so long I have to sort of figure her out...

7:08 am

crossy: when I started, it was normal to NOT finish. Almost nobody did. We did not even know the total amount of possible words :)

7:08 am

... The one with the brew that is true

JBV I have always wanted to go to Milan and seen the glass blowers!

7:08 am

i think the glass blowers are in Venice, red - Murano

SPrite, so fireworks were a real surprise1

7:08 am

Ruffino comes from Verbania (near Lake Como) and Ruby came from Canada via Milan airport

7:08 am

Milan is the Cathedral (Duomo), Last SUpper, and shopping!

7:09 am

no fireworks then, red :) Just the grid and a very limited chat.

It is Murano. I am not thinking straight its all the bugs and germs.

so how did you know you were done?

7:09 am

and I think we will have time for a drive to Lake Como

7:09 am

did not the flagon with the dragon have the pellet with the poison? lol

7:09 am

I think I had the best meal of my whole life in Milan!

7:10 am

me too

7:10 am

I would think you would know you were done by the tile stats, if they were there.

7:10 am

you did not. It was not uncommon to post your total when you stopped. And then maybe somebody else found an extra word later on.

7:10 am

mm, where ruby?

7:10 am

clue for 1st un8/45 please??

7:10 am

Congratulations on the job. I'm sorry you have to deal with that but I hope you can figure the personality out soon and it all turns out good

7:10 am

no tile stats, no word stats, nothing.

7:10 am

when I started almost a year later than Sprite, we had stats and a word total. No Lickety

the job itself is really fun and interesting and I love it. I just need to learn to negotiate the person and personality.

7:11 am

I wish I knew, but a supplier took me out for lunch; it was a place with about 50 different appetizers, all on a buffet. A real "locals'" place

7:11 am

it would be ni4 if you could find a way to work with her, red.

7:11 am

I agree with Sprite. Red, how long have you been in this new position?

7:12 am

our local resto is Sicilian, but he has toned it all down for French tastes which is unfortunate

7:12 am

later on we started making stats for eachother. Usually the person to 'finish' first would make some stats by hand. Later on some of us had little programs to make them with. And much later Jack started with regular stats every day.

7:12 am

Sicily should be wonderful, JBV; I've never been there but from what I've read, it is fabulous

I've only been there 2 weeks, most of it spent at an outside facility. I think it will all pan out, but fr the next month or 3 it will be uncomfortable...BUT...she is nearing retirement age...if she chooses to do so, in about 5 years I will not be with her.

7:13 am

this will be my second trip, ruby, but the first one was alifetime ago, so who knows how it has changed

7:13 am

but Italy is eternal....(I think not just Rome LOL)

7:13 am

lol ruby

7:14 am

My sweetie read about it in the USA Today and came home and told me about it. I was obsessed with it and felt I had to finish. Which in turn discouraged me so I quit for about a year. I missed it terribly and here I am

7:14 am

we are staying at a place on the coast, east of Palermo, hope to have a chance to see a Phoenician archaeological site

7:14 am

red, you are a wise woman. I hope she will soften towards you and make things a little easier.

7:14 am

DIL brought me Italian saugages from California; you can't get the uncooked ones here

7:14 am

the local resto is Le Palermo!

7:14 am

Yes, I hope so too

7:14 am

... 30% ... seems like I'm just starting

7:15 am

lovely to have you back, Mom! I have always felt that playing a game is only for fun. As soon as things are not fun anymore, change them or stop. We have obligations enough outside of play ;)

7:15 am

that's funny, seeing "Le" with "Palermo"

7:15 am

go dos, goooo ;) I am almost halfway.

it will all work out I just need her to leave my surveillance alone!!!!

7:16 am

clue for 1st un8/45 please?

7:16 am

I'm thinking I'll be driven to finish this, though usually I am happy with halfway on big ones because this one is a HISTORICAL LANDMARK!, lol!

7:16 am

that is the truth, Sprite. I have been back since 2006. I have left word with my sweetie to let you all know of my demise when it occurs. (at least 46 years from now)

7:16 am

hi Flask

7:16 am

so I can say "I was there for the big one of '12"...

7:16 am

you have NO permission for that yet, Mom ;) Better wait another 100 years cause I don't wanna miss you.

7:17 am

Hey Mom, how you doin'?

7:17 am

lol rbud

7:17 am

7:17 am

good way to think of it rbud a historical grid.one for the ages.those who were there and fought till the end and finished,bloody but undefeated will make it a tale for the ages..i love it:)

7:17 am

I miss you beating me on Words with Friends :-0

7:17 am

my son will tell everybody on FB when I go, hopefully not before I get 75% of this grid!

7:18 am

we should have t-shirts printed - I survived the Big one of april 21

7:18 am

I would love to play words with friends with you and Flask, Mom!

7:18 am

7:18 am

7:18 am

I tried to get into Words with Friends, but they asked too many questions.....

7:18 am

hold it right there, ruby... you can't give up the ghost then. You need to be there when I come to visit.

7:18 am

7:18 am

7:19 am

I didn't have to answer any questions, Ruby

7:19 am

7:19 am

7:20 am

Ruby let puppy into the studio and he's been sleeping under my chair for the first time

7:20 am

ruby: because it says it needs permission to see your details and post as you.

7:41 am

lol rbud

7:41 am

hi sprite :)

7:42 am

Aloy, we should spell your name Aloiseus today and you'd be in the monster grid

7:42 am

going back to lurk mode :)

7:42 am

do the 11,s go off the te 9/54?

7:42 am

peri, lots of biggies related to calling somebody

7:42 am

the te 9: Mr Bells' invention, will give you lots of 10s and the 11s if you build on it.

7:42 am

lol.. ok sprite, didn't see that

7:42 am

... te9/10/11/10/10/11 ... ... your mother always wondered how she was going to get off this thing ... and you wanted one in your room

7:42 am

I almost made it

7:43 am

well done Dachef!!!

7:43 am

tyvm dose

7:43 am

Top tip for this grid: pluralise everything, and if you're not 100% sure about whether a word is there then put it in anyway, cos 9/10 times it is.

7:43 am

ty Dachef

7:44 am

... heavens ... I've already got my fingers twisted three times and mispelled words ... and had it come up as a word anyways

7:44 am

okey dokey then - better go and do something semi-constructive with whats left of the day. Good luck everyone.

7:46 am

bye Dachef, you did something miraculous already :D

7:46 am

bye Dachef, congrats again

7:46 am

rewarding, isn't it, dos

7:46 am

yes, Dach, have a lovely rest of your day, congrats again!

7:47 am

FM's favorite word is in the grid today.

7:47 am

it is indeed, sprite

7:47 am

following Dachef's advice, ce8 is a pl

7:48 am

*hugs peri and remembers FM with love*

7:48 am

7:48 am

8:00 am

was so tired of hearing about "4/20 this, 4/20 that..."

8:00 am

lol, rbud. 4/20 was national weed day here (not official of course)

8:00 am

Rbud, did you hear what they did at the University of Colorado yesterday? 4/20 is National Weed Day everywhere.

8:01 am

yep, I know, though I still don't know how 4/20 got to be "the" day.

8:01 am

good idea, sprite.. can put some laundry in the machine and find some more while it is running.. brb

8:01 am

NBT! need an 8 for nbs

8:02 am

*mouth agape, not breathing* 744 words!! Biggest grid EVER.

8:02 am

This grid may truly take 24 hrs for completion.

8:02 am

... ch6/7/6/7 ... musical piece for large ch5/6/

It's a pretty lame story about a group of kids who got together at 4:20 to search for pot plants.

8:06 am

Godthaab-- 605. The end is FAR from near!

8:07 am

hi Jayk! Good!

8:08 am

ph7/40 clue: ph + vowel + let's see a movie at the ****ma.

8:08 am

lol, none of my words that end with "est" seem grammatically right somehow, but they're working...

8:08 am

TY Sprite

8:09 am

this is such a slog. i've been telling myself to stop, but i fear i'm committed......or commitable

8:09 am

yvw lyn :) Considering the size of the grid, the amount of crazy words seems low.

8:09 am

both, Jayk ;)

8:09 am

a screen shot of the grid on the t-shirt and the words "I SURVIVED THE 744" and todays date

8:10 am

they all seem like they should be "most whatever", not ending with "est", I mean.

8:10 am

indeed, rbud!

Cr5y are you for real taking orders on that t-shirt?

8:10 am

yay, crossy, I'm in! need a big big shirt! can I get it in black?

8:13 am

Hi, Sprite. And to think, I wasn't even going to play today. My laptop is in the shop.

8:14 am

oh dear... but a very tempting grid.

8:14 am

oh, no, wouldn't that be the way, sprite! :\

8:14 am

I am back with the breakfast buffet. Help yourself. There are 744 items to eat.

8:14 am

8:15 am

8:16 am

8:33 am

Hi there, crossy! How's your world?

8:34 am

You might want to stop going on carnival rides. It might help the vertigo.

8:34 am

I didn't know that many p words even existed

8:36 am

Hi emusing!

8:36 am

Wahooooo!!!!! Awesome!!!! I am so excited!!!!

8:36 am

49, 8 letters?

8:37 am

OMG, glad it's the weekend! Is this a new record?

8:37 am

I onlyu have three of the 8's :(

8:37 am

yes, Pickles, 49, and I've been here about 4 or 5 hours already and still only have 3 of them, lol! but the company's been lovely

8:37 am

hello all

8:37 am

I think so.

8:38 am

8:38 am

Hi Peri!

8:38 am

8:38 am

Hi, Brookie!

8:38 am

this is a puzzle where i wish i had more than 24 hours

8:38 am

back. Hi all new incomers, and bye all leavers.

8:38 am

hi peri.. northern bean soup last night (-:

8:38 am

sounds good Aloy, I need to make some soup too but I will be seating here most of the day

8:39 am

there are some lovely little lamb no8/9

8:40 am

Peri, please take some fresh air breaks : )

8:40 am

I will, Molls

8:40 am

laundry hung, new one in the machine, sn4bed by son, drank a big glass of water... ready for last part :)

8:40 am

<--still looking for the te6 that is FM's favorite Hawaiian animal! :(

8:41 am

I am too rbud

8:41 am

for lots of the 8s, peri, use the endings. We have the superlative, comparative, the being-without ending, the state of being something-ending...

8:41 am

te6 number & ***onciliation

8:42 am

ah, ty lyn

8:42 am

oh, thanks so much, lyn!! :D

8:42 am

(Madagascan actually)

8:42 am

te6: numeral + to ***ord a conversation

8:42 am

Good morning everyone! My first word today, TE 4/4 was entered by my 7 year old! Future Babbler!!!

8:42 am

my fav word was in the grid yesterday: ergo

8:42 am

now for the lamb bits!

8:42 am

oh yeah, madagascan! I knew something was off. Sorry.

8:42 am

Hi Car - now only 743 to find

8:42 am

8:43 am

and hi car.ee :)

8:43 am

I think that is the goose isn't it Sprite?

8:43 am

Bring it!

8:43 am

I thought it was a mammal. A hedgehog like animal?

8:44 am

is the no8/9 something to eat?

8:44 am

lol, no I meant a Hawiaan goose

8:44 am

Yes Peri, nice cut of lamb

8:45 am

eww, poor lambs, found them

8:45 am

oh yes, true! The nene!

8:45 am

yay, now have 4 of the 8's... *envisioning a looooong haul....*

8:46 am

rbud: my tip of the day: use the endings! Lots of good endings, and most of them will end an 8 for you.

8:46 am

and it is now time for crossy,s tidbit of the day!!!

8:46 am

Despite the optical illusion, the Gateway Arch is exactly as wide (630 feet) as it is tall.

Don't go there Kap.

It's a bit chilly today.

9:09 am

yvw Champ :)

9:09 am

hi Kap

9:10 am

i didn't know it was off limits molly. fill me in later...

hi.

9:10 am

champ, don't ask

9:10 am

Hi Kaplan!

9:10 am

I always think people are referring to World Wrestling Federation when they type WWF. Words With Friends needs a different abbreviation. : )

9:10 am

nah, it is just that some people on4 thought that you can actually have a wrong opinion about the weather :) Stupidest thing to fight over, if you ask me.

9:10 am

howdy kaplan

9:11 am

me too Molly

9:11 am

never thought of that molly.lol

If it's cloudy it's cloudy.

hi crossy.

9:11 am

ooooh...I hit someone with a 107 word yesterday. he's a cheater, so it was AWESOME!

9:11 am

not that much difference, some days

9:11 am

Hi Molly!

i hear the Pb is open admission today.

9:11 am

yes it is, Kaplan.

My ears are clogged.

9:12 am

oh wow Champ! Good!

9:12 am

put the xanax in the PB!

9:12 am

do both te11 start the same?

9:12 am

wide open kap,whatever you talk about,it is most likely in the grid today

9:12 am

all the words are in the grid!

9:12 am

lo4 them, Kaplan. You'll be a word.

9:12 am

hate when people use cheats on words/wf

9:12 am

no peri, they are not related.

9:12 am

oh hell, yes peri, and they are related. Sigh.

9:12 am

Yes Peri

9:13 am

how can you cheat with wwf??

9:13 am

me too ivesy, but at least he admitted it. makes beating him that much better!

9:13 am

ok, not seeing the 2nd one and have 3 of the 10s

9:13 am

sprite, they use websites to come up with words, then play them.

9:13 am

use a word solver spirte

9:13 am

was wondering the same thing sprite

9:13 am

one is persons who, peri, the other one ends in fakers.

why anyone would bother to cheat is a mystery. what is there to gain?

9:13 am

just looked at the list, there are a zillion co's!

9:13 am

oh! Jeezzz ivesy... but that would be no fun at all!

9:13 am

fakers? will look, ty

9:14 am

what Kaplan says.

9:14 am

just to say they won i guess

9:14 am

I know! You aren't playing if you're looking up words. But I've had two people admit to me that they do it, "because I'm not good with words"

9:14 am

i know ,no fun at all..

9:14 am

hell if you are not good with words, don't cheat and you will get better all the time.

9:14 am

for me i need all the help i can get to ever finish

9:14 am

dont care if i have to play two letter ... its just game

9:14 am

ty spritey

9:14 am

how 'bout, if you aren't good with words, why are you playing?

9:15 am

I have been playing scrabble with rubyfoo. You can't imagine how GOOD that girl is at that. I lo4 nonstop. But I am learning and it is fun.

9:15 am

The E's are troublesome....

9:15 am

9:15 am

Hi Peri!

9:15 am

i love wwf and i rarely win

9:15 am

9:16 am

lol Champ

9:16 am

poof!

9:16 am

9:16 am

I don't win much at wwf either. First not at all, but I learned a lot from Jacula. She is very good too!

9:16 am

WWF is as much strategy as the words though. Oooh...Xanax!

9:16 am

10:24 am

Tooth whitening gel is composed mainly of hydrogen peroxide

excuse the saliva

I just used peroxide in my clogged ear. I am having a peroxide party

it would be easier to just use latex paint

on my teeth

10:25 am

Isn't it cool the way it bubbles and fizzes in your ear?

10:26 am

HALF WAY!!!

yeah- sounds like it's working through gunk

10:26 am

when i put it in one ear,it drips out the other lol

I think I can take out my teeth tray

I get worried about it getting on my hair

10:27 am

But it kind of stings my tongue

10:42 am

10:42 am

That's what I said.

10:42 am

HUGE

10:43 am

JayK...starts like equine + ***ping stone and plural

10:43 am

10:46 am

10:46 am

Nope, nope, not taking that bait either. : X

Molly get your mind OuT of the gutter.

it's getting so a person can't even talk.

I can't believe i SAID that.

10:48 am

I will pass on commenting

10:48 am

i will re6 the urge to comment

10:49 am

instead I will re6 my shoes

10:49 am

the bottoms are too slippery

10:50 am

brb.. another load of laundry to start

10:53 am

Okay, lets see, change of subject. Weather, no, complained about. Gutter, no, complained about. Politics, no, complained about. Guess the size of the grid is okay.

10:54 am

Molly--I have those

10:54 am

ok, I cheated and read back in the chog for nbt

10:55 am

reading the flip was pretty funny :-)

10:55 am

Sorry, I guess I can't count 13 from the bottom.

10:55 am

I still need the bottom right e. Stats?

10:55 am

hey sue, that is quite acceptable

10:55 am

eu7/32

10:55 am

Ty!

10:58 am

just let your monkeys go crazy - end up with words

10:58 am

I've never heard before

10:59 am

you mean let them go bananas flosey?

10:59 am

The monkeys are running out of ideas....

10:59 am

OMG!! I finished.

11:00 am

yay Jayk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

11:00 am

that's it ru

11:00 am

greyed out two tiles..

11:00 am

yeah jay

11:00 am

Yay JK!

11:00 am

no kidding Jayk, wtg, bells ringing, etc

11:00 am

(extra exclamation points for this one!!)

11:00 am

Okay - anyone want to clue the lower right e for me for nbt?

11:01 am

Now THAT'S an accomplishment, Jayk!!

11:01 am

eu + mixed up metal

11:01 am

eu + a stone marker

11:01 am

eu + anagram of metal made in Pittsburgh

11:01 am

It's raining clues and exclamation points in here.

11:01 am

700 words found....

11:02 am

wtg Angel

11:02 am

be glad to try to help--this day is shot anyway!!

11:02 am

Thanks!!

11:02 am

morning all

11:03 am

whoa... wtf?!?!?!?! SEVEN HUNDRED?!?!?!

11:03 am

hi via!

11:03 am

Damn, it's kind of early for the day to be shot.

11:03 am

wtg jayk!!!

11:03 am

Do you think if we copy today's list we're set for life?

11:03 am

well done Jayk!!

11:03 am

Yes Via, I hope you didn't drink all the wine last night.

11:03 am

and there isn't even a d to make past tenses...

11:03 am

the one night I didn't stay up until flip...

11:04 am

oops, hard to say anything without using a word from the grid. I assume we are all spending most of the day in the pb...

11:04 am

Jayk -- probably. I don't even think I'll look at the grid today; I'll just close my eyes and type words and assume that most of them must be in the grid, statistically speaking.

11:05 am

I believe sentencing to the PB has been lifted for the day.

11:05 am

sue, I haven't even looked at the grid yet! I'm still recovering from the word stats! I better look before I say anymore words.

11:05 am

Then where will we get our coffee and donuts, Molly?

11:06 am

No, no, you can go there, you just won't be SENT there.

11:06 am

perhaps the cabana boys will pass them around

11:06 am

In my opinion, 118 C words is enough to make anyone run screaming from the computer.

11:07 am

I have 50 c words to go

11:07 am

never mind the 49 e words (if I added properly)

11:07 am

finally, nbs!! whew...must take a break, monkeys ready to revolt

11:07 am

yay lbd!

11:08 am

what is nbs? I learned nbt last week...

11:08 am

no blank stats - you have at least one word of every length

11:09 am

76 C words to go and I'm tired of looking at them, moving on to return to them later

11:09 am

and now all the 4's are done too! bbl.

11:09 am

ahhh, ty

11:10 am

this is going to be a horrible grid -- I'm going to just start typing in the same words over and over again because I'll forget the 300 or so words I've already typed in. (Once I get to 300 that is)

11:10 am

yes, I have been doing a lot of that already

11:11 am

I think my vocabulary runs out at 500

11:11 am

me too. I keep getting excited over words I got excited over the first time I found them

11:11 am

nbs

11:11 am

Via, believe it or not, certain people have referred to this grid as "fun". I want what they are smoking.

11:12 am

also, almost skipping easy words because I assume I've found them already

11:12 am

taer

11:12 am

well... to be fair, as much as I'm complaining, I have not taken the option of, you know, leaving and doing something else

11:12 am

Hi Vive.

11:12 am

oops, sorry

11:12 am

lol, via!

11:12 am

Hi Molly

11:13 am

*tries taer. it doesn't work.*

11:13 am

heh

11:14 am

My friend is having a reading of his new play today. Do you think he'll understand if I say "I was planning to make it, but babble had 744 word today!"

11:14 am

This grid will truly separate the hard core from the mildly compelled.

11:16 am

*words. and ? at end

11:16 am

*slaps via back into sensibility*

11:17 am

I'm sure he'll totally understand. I mean, you gotta have priorities

11:17 am

my phantom of the moment : hornier

11:18 am

I strongly vote for going to the play reading.

11:18 am

that's because it's a big one magazine

11:18 am

:D

11:18 am

lol ruru

11:19 am

i need the chr, it's the last ch7

3:41 pm

(and aren't my niece and nephew the cutest kids ever??)

3:41 pm

ch7 illness?

3:42 pm

ch7 is when you have a really bad illness

3:42 pm

ahhh thanks

3:43 pm

That chr word gets a bad rap. It means of a long duration. On a positive note, one can be ch7ally happy.

3:44 pm

I was waiting for you to perk up Molly!

3:44 pm

I maade a clear ch6/27 to finish the grid today; the ch7/40 were to do it or find other things to do...I could hear a ch5/14 in my mind as I decided. Ch6/24 make such beautiful music....I wouldn't ch5/14 myself out of the fun of this grid, and I don't think anyone ch6/24 who goes to a list today.

3:44 pm

Look it up, it's always associated with bad things. Illness, drug abuse, etc.

3:45 pm

Over halfway....woo to the HOO!!!!

3:51 pm

I cant see the my last a the last ar6/18 any clues???

3:51 pm

I admit to being a ch7/40 Babbke addict; soem express co7/36 about it, but word co7/32 must have a field day with grids this large. It is difficult to be 7/36 with so many words. I have to stay off the te9/66 to get anything done today; didn't even pe9/66 coffee this morning.

3:51 pm

ar + a math term?

3:51 pm

How are you doing, hursh?

3:51 pm

i was clueing it hursh but you got it before i could think of a good clue but i didn't want to clue 2 words like that as people complain :)

3:52 pm

Hello squrell2!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

3:52 pm

1/2 way! and it only took 1.5 hrs! I think the rest will not go as smoothly...

3:52 pm

E's eliminated!

3:53 pm

ha, i'm with you amelu. 428 down and still having fun, not sure how long that will last :)

3:53 pm

Change the final vowel of the ar + math term

3:53 pm

cubs, ar and the 7 deadly ones and add vowel

3:53 pm

i don't think anyone is going to complain about anything with a grid this size :)

3:54 pm

I clued a few c words...

3:54 pm

and a te and a pe for good measure...:)

3:54 pm

oh i'm alright vi, just submerged in the grid at the moment

3:54 pm

Morning everyone

6:45 pm

Congratulations Angelsong on finishing grid early!YAY

6:45 pm

Hi Min.

6:46 pm

CONTROL + ALT + PRINT SCREEN KEY will capture the image on your screen. Then paste it into Paint and edit out whatever letter you want.

6:46 pm

OMG...just getting on....holy cow.....do I dare start...

6:46 pm

Min...I am obsessive with large grids

6:46 pm

***gives River hugs and a shot of calming tea***

6:46 pm

hey all

my reaction exactly, riverdance. this is the largest I've ever seen.

6:47 pm

Jac: is this the biggest grid ever? If so, I want a badge that says I was here...

6:47 pm

right click on the grid then click on save picture as (comes up as a .gif file)

6:47 pm

I think you can right click and save each single letter, too, I just copied an R into irfanview nicely

6:47 pm

hokie!

6:48 pm

stid....I think it is, yes.previous largest was just over 500

6:48 pm

... call crossy stid ... ... He's doing something like a t-shirt transfer

6:48 pm

river, that was pretty much my reaction as well! But I am abandoning finishing to just concentrate on the challenge of how many I can get....

6:48 pm

I am almost down to 500... 514 at the moment

6:48 pm

so you can, rbud

6:48 pm

I had no idea that each tile was a different image. Strange.

6:48 pm

until today (according to lickety's stats) the record was 599 words... new record is set as far as I know...

6:49 pm

never realized they were separate images before, or just never thought about it, anyway

6:49 pm

Wow. Amazing. *wanders off to blog*

6:49 pm

snap, Molly, lol! :)

6:50 pm

"The biggest I've ever seen" is the comment of the day.

6:50 pm

must be something new, rbud -- I did mine a few years ago, before we got this new format

6:50 pm

any other clues wanted before I leave?

6:51 pm

I could use about 510 cybernan....

6:51 pm

pick one --- any one!

6:52 pm

I am not using a list, just happy to work on each letter and see how far I get....enjoy your evening!

6:52 pm

I see Rocky is in the grid

6:52 pm

How about some 151 Trif? As in Bacardi.

6:52 pm

We had a lovely day here today, btw, and made it over to the beach -even went in for a swim, which is pretty unheard of here in massachusetts!

6:53 pm

not really my speed molly, but you enjoy some!

6:53 pm

rocky?

6:53 pm

well, lickety says "for the last 2156 grids" - is that all of them? at least all that lickety has been around for... that works out to roughly 5.9 years, I think...

6:53 pm

What? No swimming in Massachusetts?

6:53 pm

no, no, molly, plenty of swimming, but not usually this early in the year - the water was SO COLD, but manageable

6:53 pm

this is puzzle #3315, if that means anything

6:54 pm

we were laughing, saying we couldn't tell if we were red from the sun or the sea

6:54 pm

b's banished!

6:54 pm

on my way - back at the flip :)

6:54 pm

Rbud, remember, back in the day, they had no clues, no word lists, no fireworks, and they had to count their points on an abacus.

6:54 pm

Hi, All!!!

7:45 pm

the Nats won! whoo hooo go Nats!

7:45 pm

so here is my fun anecdote of the day - we were at a loooong straight beach today. There were about four seagulls hanging out, and I said to the kids "wanna see me do a trick?" and I threw a big handful of animal crackers on the beach. Within TWO minutes we were surrounded by over 35 seagulls, and the girls were cracking up!

7:45 pm

*pours several guinesses*

7:45 pm

my goodness!

7:46 pm

*sips ginger-flavored hard cider*

7:46 pm

so nbt would be good for me stats for the third column E please

7:46 pm

I can always count on JMC to be festive. And Via.

7:46 pm

dang i wants some of the ginger flavored hard cider!

7:46 pm

Scavengers are quick to get snacks.

7:47 pm

it's from Angry Orchard. I never heard of it until two days ago but it's pretty awesome.

7:47 pm

neat, Trif, I used to love those birds when we lived in Florida

7:47 pm

jmc: e + sticky stuff for packages (comes on rolls)

7:47 pm

R's done.

7:47 pm

it was realy funny

7:47 pm

on my honeymoon my hubby and i were on a rock high above a bay and the seagulls nearly knocked us down going for our picnic lunch

7:47 pm

rah, cos! ;p

7:47 pm

7:47 pm

Watch her Via. She will snatch your glass right out from under you.

7:47 pm

7:48 pm

*throws confetti in the air*

7:48 pm

That's okay Molly -- I have more.

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

This must be happening to everyone: I find a word, get excited, type it in, then am told I already entered it

7:48 pm

hi jmc!

7:48 pm

*starts dancing on the table*

7:48 pm

oh wait, was this not that kind of party?

7:48 pm

100 to go!

7:48 pm

so my funny story of today is (wow that cider must be really hard)

7:48 pm

Trif, as I recall, the seagulls in Plymouth will come right up and eat fries out of your hand.

7:48 pm

we have them in the big store parking lots here, nearest body of water of any size is the Illinois River, not that big. and yet big flocks show up at Walmart, lol!

7:48 pm

hi jen

7:48 pm

7:48 pm

it's always that kind of party here, viajes

7:49 pm

7:49 pm

go cos go!

7:49 pm

rbud, where are you? (we may have had this convo before)

7:49 pm

Molly, the seagulls in plymouth will come up and eat your hands! They are WAY too tame!

7:49 pm

*takes off shoe and starts spinning it around by the laces*

7:49 pm

anyway my story is that I was hearing footsteps on my roof when i came into my bedroom . . .

7:49 pm

7:59 pm

I heard a great story from a record store owner -- he was telling his 12-year-old daughter that there was this woman playing at First Ave for $18, Lady Gaga -- "I think you'll like her; she's gonna be really big." "Whatever dad."

8:00 pm

A year later, this same daughter wanted $120 tickets to see Lady Gaga at some big stadium, and her dad was like, no, I don't think so.

8:01 pm

diddy op my doo wop, woah!

8:01 pm

8:01 pm

the backstreet boys did an okay christmas album one year

8:02 pm

8:02 pm

ooooo my solar panels just informed me i off set 10 pounds of carbon

8:02 pm

wahoo -over halfway!

8:02 pm

I think it's above and beyond the call of parenting to have to endure music like that.

8:02 pm

nsync!

8:03 pm

<--- feeling lucky not to have any kids

8:03 pm

Me too, viajes

8:03 pm

May I please have a clue for ra7-28? Thanks

8:03 pm

I wish it would rain. Mr. and Mrs. LOUD next door are entertaining all their LOUD friends.

8:03 pm

pluses and minuses

8:03 pm

it is raining here

8:03 pm

david bowie's daughter is about my girl's age, and I just larf thinking about her playing one direction in the bowie home. ha ha ha

8:03 pm

Okay - I can't see my word list past te5/10 now. At this stage of the grid I can't work blind.

8:04 pm

last un 6/24?

8:04 pm

Molly, do you live two doors down from me? I think we have the same neighbors.

8:04 pm

Scrabs, just you wait until those rabbits get into a rabbit punk band. You'll see.

8:04 pm

with their rabbit mohawks

8:05 pm

and the tattoos!

8:05 pm

I helped raise 3 nephews and one lived here from 16-23 (1 yr ago) so I earned my parenting wings.

8:05 pm

I wish Via. At least we would have good company to endure the LOUDS.

8:05 pm

imagine all the piercings they could fit in those ears!

8:05 pm

haha

8:05 pm

LOTS of piercings.

8:05 pm

they can call their band "The Punk Bunny Rabbits."

8:06 pm

Scrabs probably thinks that is oregano in their rooms.

8:06 pm

or "Doing It Like Us"

8:06 pm

high ear piercings take a long time to heal though...

8:06 pm

I think "Punk Bunny" is quite a good punk band name

8:06 pm

un 6/24, to walk backwards?

8:06 pm

lol LeslieAnn

8:06 pm

Having refreshed, the words found list won't go past lo6.18. I'm retiring with 26 to find. Thanks, Dr_God, NOT!

8:06 pm

It's dried parsley in their pipes.

8:06 pm

Oh, no, Jac! How did others finish?

8:06 pm

Jac, isn't it ridiculously late in your world?

8:06 pm

of course, we ALL know what the best name for a band is -- well, there are two: Free Beer and No Cover

8:06 pm

bye jac hope you had a good day

8:07 pm

Trif, what do you mean "thinking"? Doesn't she play that music when you are over there for the weekend?

8:07 pm

oh no, Trifi, you might get riots once they figure out the trickery...

8:07 pm

... my list is missing 63 words that I've found

8:07 pm

bummer dose

8:07 pm

Oh, no, dos! Not fair.

8:08 pm

Please Molly, I am terrified of Iman! She'ld cut a bitch

8:08 pm

your expert list, dose?

8:08 pm

someone needed ra7, right? rodent + adolescent

8:08 pm

she'd

8:08 pm

I've been here 20 min and found one word cuz I was chatting with everyone! And now I must work on website. Back in a couple of hours... hopefulyl I'l have time to find my last 280 then :P

8:08 pm

... No ... I'm adding the record of words I've found with words left and it only comes to 681 ....

8:08 pm

Oh damn Trif. You're right. She would cut, a lot.

8:08 pm

nice, LeslieAnn - that could be a band name too

8:08 pm

bye viajes

8:08 pm

she is terrifying. that is for true

8:09 pm

TY, Leslie!

8:09 pm

... I believe the tile stats are correct and that I still have 239 to find ... but I can't keep track of what I've already found

8:09 pm

*poof*

8:09 pm

Is there someone at the Firth home to be terrified of?

8:10 pm

you don't have lickety, dose?

8:10 pm

the wife is Italian, like actually from Italy....she might know some Sicilians, better not risk it. Besides, I am not a thief

8:10 pm

... I'm looking at lickety ... but I don't feel like entering them there in order to keep track

8:11 pm

... I'm just annoyed ... I'll get over it ... just not tonight

8:11 pm

but if you copy what you DO have into there, it should show what's left, right?

8:11 pm

I would not risk Sicilians either. Best off worshiping from afar.

8:11 pm

shall i send my lebonese mafia friends over to protect you trif?

8:11 pm

cant u cut aand paste ur list and enter it in lickety?

8:11 pm

molly, i am so in love with you! In a non-creepy, appropriately babblish way, of course

8:11 pm

Use the bulk add thing Dose. It takes two seconds.

8:11 pm

ugh - just realized, I haven't done my sunday school homework for tomorrow...oh dear

8:12 pm

... sure ... but I usually don't do that ... so I didn't start entering them into lickety ... ... and I don't feel up to refinding the words all over again ... ... this one is tough enough to do once a day ... not twice ... ... ... oh well ... maybe there'll be 800 tomorrow

8:12 pm

A's zapped!

8:13 pm

Oh, do it now, under the influence of pain meds. I will come to Massachusetts just to see the look on the teacher's face.

8:13 pm

great idea molly!

8:13 pm

Yay, under 300 finally. And I am done at 446/298. I am nearly comatose. Good night all. Sleep well.

8:13 pm

the last se7?

8:13 pm

sleep well scrabbler

8:13 pm

nighty night scrabs!

8:13 pm

whoo hooo jen!

8:13 pm

Dose, all you have to do is copy the words in your word list and paste them into the bulk/add box.

8:13 pm

bye scrabs!

8:13 pm

Dos - you can very easily paste your words into Lickety - see instructions for Bulk Add at the bottom of Licketys list

8:13 pm

8:14 pm

8:14 pm

phew!

8:14 pm

8:15 pm

I have 351 left, and I think I will cal it a night. need to go do my homework, and then try (and fail) to find a comfortable position to sleep in.

8:15 pm

bye trif!

8:15 pm

good job trif, bye!

8:15 pm

I feel Dos's pain. I closed my window and opened it again. It was loading, then it asked about stopping a script to prevent cpu from running slow. My last word in the list begins with ST, but I have entered T's and U's.

8:16 pm

bye trif feel better

8:16 pm

thanks. poof

8:16 pm

cos, change the last vowel of a previous se7

8:16 pm

... that's exactly what I saw too ...

8:16 pm

did you say No Gwenski (else your word list won't display)

8:16 pm

you could could reclose and open the window

8:17 pm

or refresh

8:17 pm

... didn't work

8:17 pm

... didn't work

8:17 pm

hi lynxxx

8:17 pm

the words ARE still there though

8:17 pm

hi lynxx

8:17 pm

hi jmc

8:17 pm

too bad dose

8:17 pm

don't remember what I picked. I still have 310 left. Just can't see some of the words I already entered.

8:17 pm

Re-Open and Say No

8:17 pm

... oh yeah ... but you get to try finding them again

8:18 pm

Weird. Jac was having the same problem.

8:18 pm

... because you don't know what's missing ... ... hey bad things happen to good people ... ... such is life

8:18 pm

Close, Re-open, say NO and your words will all display

8:18 pm

is this the biggest ever grid?

8:18 pm

copied from here to lickety's, into the bulk add box, then click "add bulk" below it, dose?

8:18 pm

... yes by 140 words

8:19 pm

... 150 words

8:19 pm

lol 650 to go

8:19 pm

go harp go!

8:20 pm

or do you use IE? something different about adding with IE, don't know how.

8:20 pm

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't have the compulsion to finish this thing.

8:20 pm

I'm using IE. You can only copy and 'add bulk' the words that display in the word list

8:21 pm

50 to go.

8:21 pm

how many do you have molly?

8:21 pm

haha not even in my dreams molls

8:21 pm

Internet Explorer is really a sub-standard browser. I would try using Firefox if you're having problems.

8:21 pm

Gwenski, did you restart and say No - so that all your found words will display?

8:21 pm

just having fun rocking out words and pretending that i am good at babbling

8:22 pm

I haven't restarted again yet. still have plenty of words to still find

8:22 pm

that's like adding an extra grid to the last largest grid!

8:22 pm

internet explorer sucks.. it couldn't even make the cub scouts

8:22 pm

"Pretending that I am good at Babble"...yes, I do that too.

8:23 pm

I meant restarted Babble Gwenski, you won't lose words you have already found

8:23 pm

i look pretty good when i play boggle with my sister

8:23 pm

I think that BabbleExpert uses Internet Explorer..no?

8:24 pm

Just got my third gray box! (I may restart babble a bit later, if I'm still going. 298 left to go)

8:24 pm

Thank you Ru. That is what I "wanted" to say.

WOW!!!!! WV! Well done!

9:40 pm

Did you get the second one by changing the vowel?

9:41 pm

freshie = sassy, silly, spunky

9:41 pm

The only time I've heard the word freshie is in the song Who Got The Hooch. I think it may be Bostonese for a sass mouth.

9:41 pm

oh.. that's a new one for me

9:42 pm

<---- wishes she had the hooch...would make this grid so much easier!!!!

9:42 pm

hooch??? WHERE???

9:42 pm

at least with hooch, I wouldn't care if the grid was hard or not, lol! :D

9:43 pm

pb is closed for the day, so someone left it just right outside on the ground. appropriate for hooch.

I still have a blank E tile, no words found from that one@

9:56 pm

Vive, I think it will be years before we get one this big again...

9:56 pm

9:57 pm

I only started playing maybe a month ago, but I've heard people say it's the biggest they've seen

9:57 pm

only a month in and finishing a 700+ grid? yowza!

it apparently is. for certain the biggest I have ever seen.

9:57 pm

most definitely the biggest I've ever seen

9:57 pm

that is impressive.

9:57 pm

Biggest I have seen!

9:58 pm

according to lickety the previous record was 599, so this one blows that completely out of the water

this one was a bit over the top really...

9:58 pm

well lickety started a few years after the grids started. so it's *possible* there was a bigger one, but no one can recall a bigger one

9:58 pm

It is so exciting!

9:59 pm

Oooh...just found the fastener that sits on your desk and the things that go in it!

9:59 pm

it was too big a challenge to resist, lol

9:59 pm

LOL @ viajes.

10:15 pm

oh, yeah, viajes...just come on over here and look at my screen.

10:16 pm

down to 399 left

10:17 pm

I am at 299 uusue....

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

But my eyes are cr***ing and I can't see any new words!

10:17 pm

10:17 pm

crying?

10:18 pm

that's what my eyes want to do

10:18 pm

No, no it's true! I finished!

10:18 pm

sue's paper grades will be ae 4/4

10:18 pm

kids will be like, what?

10:18 pm

No, not crying...hot cr5 buns ing

10:19 pm

ph 7/40?

10:19 pm

that would definitely confuse them, leslie (especially as I am grading physics problems)

10:20 pm

And I made all the effort to say cr5 and then said buns. Blargh.

10:20 pm

ph 7/41: talk on the ph**e and go to the movies or ****ma

10:20 pm

LOL!! And none of us noticed....because we are bleary-eyed!

10:20 pm

that was supposed to say ph7/40

10:20 pm

ph7, ph + round letter + ****ma, where you go to watch a movie

10:20 pm

10:21 pm

10:25 pm

127 S's are a very big deal. Well done Dorens.

10:26 pm

well done, dorens, i found the s's a challenge

10:26 pm

once more... thanks to lickety... wouldn't even try this without that list!!

10:27 pm

I was wondering earlier how many people would have finished if we were still Lickety-less.

10:27 pm

lord knows not me!!

10:28 pm

I just finished, and there is NO WAY I could have done it without Lickety or the Chog!

10:28 pm

probably be the same, molly, as we all chip in and help each other when there is no list.

10:28 pm

Well done! congrats SpellCheck!

10:28 pm

hooray spell!

10:29 pm

TY Leslie

10:29 pm

WTG SPELLCHECK!!!!

10:29 pm

yay spell!!

10:29 pm

YAY spellcheck!

10:29 pm

143 left, been working away, think i'll make it? :\

10:30 pm

yes rbud - you can do it

10:30 pm

co 7/8 after the girdles?

10:30 pm

Go Rbud!!!!

10:30 pm

I believe in you Rbud. Keep on keeping on.

10:30 pm

it's doable, rbud.

10:30 pm

course you will rbud!!

10:30 pm

Granny, I don't agree... with over 100 c's alone, I don't think the usual clue-ing would work all that well. At least, I know it wouldn't for me.

10:30 pm

oh, spellcheck is a person! Hello. I was looking at lickety and then came back to the chog and was very confused...

10:30 pm

Little girdles LA.

10:30 pm

ha, I am half way!

10:31 pm

LA add and l after the s in the girdles

10:31 pm

second pa7/32?

10:31 pm

deep breath... buckling down... >:P

10:31 pm

hi viajes. Yes, I am!

10:31 pm

nor me granny... would just take too much time!!

10:31 pm

Thank you SpellCheck. I don't agree either. Many people need that list in order to finish in a sane way.

10:31 pm

oh look at that, when you get over 100 in that top c box it doesn't even fit anymore

10:32 pm

Nice to meet you spellcheck. That makes a lot more sense, as a spellcheck is not generally helpful with Enable.

10:32 pm

viajes - think shaking disease

10:32 pm

viajes, think cerebral pa, disorder of the spine

10:33 pm

ty granny!

10:33 pm

and spellcheck

10:33 pm

what was that un + walk again? what walk?

10:34 pm

10:34 pm

There were some interesting words in this grid...

10:34 pm

stid, what you take with your foot in order to walk

10:34 pm

oh gee -- a boating term, to take down the mast *sigh*

10:34 pm

and thanks. down to 312 now

10:34 pm

It's so not a word Stid. Like you can un that.

10:35 pm

how about the first un word. I'd like to know how you can un4/7 something?

10:35 pm

maybe hamlet did it?

10:36 pm

;-) funny

10:36 pm

Shame we are not all boaters.

10:36 pm

apparently it means to cause to not be, interesting thought

10:37 pm

co 6/24, must be a col ?

10:37 pm

ne7/8 after the chocola4 company?

10:37 pm

nvm - nat king co** + you and i

10:38 pm

Odd though, eh granny?

10:38 pm

it builds off of the company, rbud

10:38 pm

rbud, add hook letter, then plural

10:38 pm

rbud - one who does that + pl

10:38 pm

YES! a friend just requested me for a couple weeks from now. Only one day, but every day counts!!! *walking on air*

10:38 pm

aha, thanks... getting babble blind...

10:38 pm
