Amen, harp.

snaps for wvteach for quickly bumping the chog on down, too, quick thinking
12:54 am
wvteach
had just started - wanted to make sure not to look
12:54 am
rbud
(last time I saw that trick, we were all trying to outchog some troll a long time back)
12:55 am
gapeach
harp, do you remember the 700 + we had some years back?
12:55 am
harpjane
Babbly really is sort of a low-tech anomaly by today's digital standards.
12:58 am
harpjane
I think I do remember that ga, I probably finished it. lol
12:59 am
rbud
I remember that, I have a document saved listing the finishers... not sure why I did it, other than that I was proud I finished it... let's see, it's got the date...
12:59 am
gapeach
I think I wound up with around 300. LOL
1:00 am
wvteach
plodded through that biggie to the finish
1:00 am
rururocks
I finished that one.. it was brutal
1:00 am
rururocks
777 wasn't it?
1:00 am

here we go: "the big 744 grid 4-21-12"
1:01 am

Glad you saved it, rbud.
1:01 am
wvteach
wow - didn't think thst it was that long ago
1:01 am
rururocks
I remember the Co's were impossible on that grid.. I was so confused
1:01 am
rbud
can see the archive, amazing those go back so far. hey, it was a Saturday, good thing, haha
1:11 am
rbud
well, hugs all around, have 34 left to finish at work tomorrow (it's always pretty quiet in our library)
1:29 am
flosey
does anyone else still have the 744 T-shirt
1:30 am
Lizlin
Hi Flosey - that was before I started playing.
1:30 am
flosey
ah, I still have it
1:32 am
flosey
and hi everyone
1:33 am
flosey
just came across it the other day
1:33 am
Lizlin
Who produced the T-shirts?
1:34 am
flosey
I don't remember
1:34 am
Lizlin
I seem to remember that Crossy made up a jigsaw on Jigidi of that grid.
1:35 am
flosey
Is Crossy still playing, I haven't seen him in here for quite a while
1:36 am
Lizlin
I've seen him occasionally but I'm not sure if he plays regularly.
1:36 am
flosey
I had the pleasure of meeting him while visiting 'back home' Toronto area
1:37 am
Lizlin
That must've been nice. He always seemed like a lovely guy, when we chatted on babble. I'm not naive - I do know that some people are not as they seem but I remember you meeting him. With another babbler too, if I remember correctly.
1:39 am
flosey
yes, a young fellow, can't think of his name but a picture was taken and posted in here - I believe that must have been taken by Crossy - or, pehaps he had it taken since he was in it
1:40 am
flosey
Crossy's wife was with him, a lovely lady
1:40 am
Lizlin
It's funny how people drift in and out of babble. I guess we've all got other lives, which sometimes take over. I do know that some people have been offended by things written and now just lurk, which is sad.
1:40 am
Lizlin
She used to play occasionally I think.
1:41 am
flosey
ah, I didn't remember that
1:41 am
Lizlin
I might be wrong about that.
1:42 am
flosey
can't remember how long ago that was, seems quite a while
1:43 am
Lizlin
I've also lost track of time! Like I said before, busy lives.
1:43 am
flosey
Crossy often talked about his wife, a very loving couple
1:44 am
Lizlin
Yes, I got that impression too.
1:45 am
Lizlin
Nice to chat, Flosey. I've got to go. Sleep well.
1:46 am
flosey
thanks Liz, good to chat
2:09 am
flosey
oops, sorry
2:12 am

9:08 am
MLFAN17
mool is it a real word?
9:08 am
moolingwa
pretty obscure word
9:09 am
moolingwa
not one you would come across i would expect
9:09 am
moolingwa
it's apparently a hebrew word for a measurement of sorts, equivalent to a bushel
9:09 am
amelu0218
it's also the pl of a babble member's name
9:10 am
MLFAN17
got it ty
9:10 am
moolingwa
figured that hebrew clue would make it easier (not)
9:11 am
MLFAN17
when I was thinking about the word it came to my mind that we might have had it in the grid before but maybe not that it actually counted?

For those who were there, the cop arrested 3 people from my building. I commented earlier about 8 cops who I saw coming in the building. There is still a supervisor van around so they may still be in the apartment they raided.

10:51 am
MLFAN17
I have more then that to find I am stuck deeha do you have ta 5/14?
10:56 am
Deeha
an odd word- think of plural of what you work at/eat off and remove the hooked letter. Is that too obscure?!
10:58 am
Cathyar
ta5/14 has to do with gradual emaciation due to chronic disease.
10:59 am
Deeha
happily you beat me to that definition Cath!!
11:00 am
magazinemom
ty for the clues!
11:00 am
Cathyar
Monkeyed it, then looked it up.
11:01 am
MLFAN17
I looked it up not sure yet.. I am going to go poof
11:03 am
Cathyar
Think of the chatterbox, who's online and my friends selections atop the chat box. They are ta_s, but replace the plural with a vowel.
11:04 am
Cathyar
might have made it too easy with that clue. lol

Do you like your new place min?

My ex asks me that all of the time! Are you enjoying your freedom? Not that he really cares.He's so mad at me now
10:01 pm
Minveryork
I like it.It needs work,but I'm working on it little by little
10:02 pm
rururocks
Good. What happened with the house?
10:02 pm
Minveryork
He would like to move 2 Long Island & take dog with him
10:04 pm
Minveryork
He is still living in the house.Was nice enough to give him until July to try to take over the mortgage. If he can't do it, it goes on market. Right now we R fighting over dog.
10:05 pm
rururocks
The dog belongs with you
10:06 pm
Minveryork
He said we could share the dog,but now he's changing his story. He thinks I live in a shit-hole area and it's not good or safe for dog. Like I would ever put dog in any danger.
10:07 pm
rururocks
A shit-hole with love and care is better than a shit-head
10:08 pm
Minveryork
I gave him EVERYTHING that he wanted in the separation and now he is doing this to me. Anyway, do not even get me started!I could go on about this the whole night long.
10:09 pm

Min, I am disgusted with how badly you are being treated by your ex. I can't believe he is still living in your house and has the nerve to tell you he won't share the dog. He deserves neither the house nor the dog.
10:18 pm
Minveryork
My last two words are ta 6/21 & the second te 4/4 word.
10:19 pm

Ta like scotch ta.. plus goodbye in england
10:20 pm
Minveryork
Hello MollyL! He can't even afford to have to the dog.I've been paying vet bills for the past 3 years.But he says all I care about is money. He's mad because I broke his heart.
10:20 pm
rururocks
He is an abuser min
10:21 pm

I am embarrassed to ask for 2nd te 4/4 word. I'm sure it's a fish.Pretty please can I have a clue for that te4/4 word
10:22 pm
rururocks
Second te 4 is a nipple on a cow
10:22 pm
rururocks
The next te 4/4 is a golf peg
10:22 pm
Minveryork
I have that as my FIRST te 4/4 word. Am I mistaken ruru?
10:23 pm
MollyL
He is also a baby who has spent way too much time not working and living off of you Min. I hope you can get an attorney who will set him straight about what he does and does not deserve.
10:23 pm
Minveryork
I KNEW it was a fish! I do not deserve fireworks!Thank U!
10:23 pm

The first te 4 is like a baseball te
10:24 pm
Minveryork
He says I never appreciated anything he did for me.So he did do things for me but it wasn't enough to make up for all the years of drinking and unemployment .I had to go.
10:24 pm
rururocks
You deserve better min. Forget about him
10:26 pm
Minveryork
Nobody can set my ex straight.People have tried, like his own family.He thinks his shit don't smell.He's a narcissist.
10:26 pm
MollyL
I agree Min. He is an asshole and I hope he gets what is coming to him.
10:27 pm
Minveryork
Anyway, thank you rururocks and other clues for helping me finish. Any clues needed before I go? I am wiped out!
10:27 pm
rururocks
Yep. And maybe a bit sociopathic
10:28 pm
Minveryork
Honestly,I do not wish him any harm.Want him to be able to be able to move on&find happiness with someone else
10:29 pm
rururocks
Sure. And you too

If Spring EVER arrives in UK and stops imitating Autumn with misty days, perhaps the joints that don't like damp times will stop hurting and the ones that don't like warm weather won't play up too much.
