6:57 am

sprite

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

6:57 am

Mom

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

6:57 am

rubyfoo

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

sprite

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

6:57 am

redturtlehead

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

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

It must be because of global warming.

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

The size of the grid, I mean.

6:57 am

rubyfoo

he girlie

6:57 am

Kaplan the Magne

Biggest on record.

6:59 am

Mom

7:00 am

ivesy3

i thought it was 74

7:00 am

rubyfoo

raise hands if that is acceptable

7:00 am

redturtlehead

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

7:00 am

MollyL

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

7:00 am

rubyfoo

that's like interviewing for a new job, girlie

7:00 am

godthaab

404 - getting there!

7:00 am

life anxiety?

7:01 am

7:01 am

7:02 am

sprite

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

7:02 am

girlie

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

7:04 am

JBV

thanks, ruby

7:04 am

redturtlehead

err trip.

7:04 am

MollyL

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

rubyfoo

it has been cold and rainy for two weeks

7:04 am

rbud

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

7:05 am

JBV

I am so excited I can't stand it

7:05 am

JBV

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

7:05 am

rubyfoo

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

7:05 am

7:05 am

ivesy3

I'm sure Italy will be warmer

7:05 am

Mom

not crazy, ivesy, determined

7:06 am

redturtlehead

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

JBV

thank you everbody -

7:06 am

rubyfoo

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

7:06 am

sprite

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

7:06 am

sprite

vegging sounds like a good plan then, red.

7:06 am

rubyfoo

I'll wave at your plane

7:06 am

Mom

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

7:07 am

rubyfoo

are you landing in Milan or Rome?

7:07 am

JBV

MIlan, my cousins live in Pinerolo

7:07 am

crosshair

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

JBV

then off to Sicily towards the end of the week

7:07 am

doseffing

7:07 am

Mom

hello doseffing

7:07 am

sprite

lol dos!

7:08 am

Kaplan the Magne

The chalice in the palace?

7:08 am

redturtlehead

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

sprite

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

doseffing

... The one with the brew that is true

7:08 am

redturtlehead

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

7:08 am

JBV

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

7:08 am

redturtlehead

SPrite, so fireworks were a real surprise1

7:08 am

rubyfoo

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

7:08 am

JBV

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

7:09 am

sprite

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

7:09 am

redturtlehead

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

7:09 am

redturtlehead

so how did you know you were done?

7:09 am

JBV

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

7:09 am

crosshair

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

7:09 am

rubyfoo

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

7:10 am

girlie

me too

7:10 am

MollyL

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

7:10 am

sprite

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

JBV

mm, where ruby?

7:10 am

Flask1

clue for 1st un8/45 please??

7:10 am

Mom

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

sprite

no tile stats, no word stats, nothing.

7:10 am

Mom

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

7:11 am

redturtlehead

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

rubyfoo

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

sprite

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

7:11 am

Mom

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

7:12 am

rubyfoo

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

7:12 am

sprite

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

rubyfoo

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

7:13 am

redturtlehead

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

JBV

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

7:13 am

rubyfoo

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

7:13 am

sprite

lol ruby

7:14 am

Mom

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

JBV

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

sprite

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

7:14 am

rubyfoo

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

7:14 am

rubyfoo

the local resto is Le Palermo!

7:14 am

Mom

Yes, I hope so too

7:14 am

doseffing

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

7:15 am

sprite

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

JBV

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

7:15 am

sprite

go dos, goooo ;) I am almost halfway.

7:15 am

redturtlehead

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

7:16 am

Flask1

clue for 1st un8/45 please?

7:16 am

rbud

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

Mom

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

Mom

hi Flask

7:16 am

rbud

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

7:16 am

sprite

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

7:17 am

Flask1

Hey Mom, how you doin'?

7:17 am

Mom

lol rbud

7:17 am

Mom

doing fine Flask, how about you?

7:17 am

redturtlehead

I am feeling the same way Rbud...I never really finish but this one I have to do.

7:17 am

crosshair

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

Mom

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

7:17 am

rubyfoo

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

7:18 am

JBV

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

7:18 am

sprite

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

7:18 am

rbud

rah, crossy, we shall not give up! :D

7:18 am

crosshair

great idea jbv!

7:18 am

rubyfoo

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

7:18 am

sprite

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

Mom

perfect Sprite, do you want to set it up or should I?

7:18 am

rubyfoo

it made me nervous

7:18 am

sprite

oh JBV that would be fun!

7:19 am

sprite

would you, Mom?

7:19 am

Mom

I didn't have to answer any questions, Ruby

7:19 am

Flask1

oh its good, Sprite!

7:19 am

rubyfoo

if I can break away for a nap, I should be back a little later....LOL

7:19 am

7:19 am

rbud

7:19 am

Mom

absolutely, Sprite

7:19 am

rubyfoo

hmm, I don't remember why it spooked me

7:19 am

sprite

ruby, it is not so different from our game. I don't mind playing the normal scrabble with you.

7:20 am

rubyfoo

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

7:20 am

sprite

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

7:20 am

Flask1

ok, its a date.....but let me plough thro' this today!

7:20 am

girlie

woah, both beginning and end of days there. Special grid

7:20 am

Flask: good idea, lol! We have our hands full today.

7:20 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.

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

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

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

perhaps the cabana boys will pass them around

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

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.

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

LeslieAnn

6:53 pm

cybernan

rocky?

6:53 pm

rbud

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

MollyL

What? No swimming in Massachusetts?

6:53 pm

Trifioso

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

6:53 pm
