The bottom part of the board is from a game my mom and I are playing. On top of that, when I put Scrabble tiles on the board they disappear.

How many points are fractional Scrabble tiles?
For WEEKS, I've been having problems with the Facebook Scrabble app:

Sweet, Delicious Nitrates (a haiku)
"Have bacon for lunch"
Beyond doubt, I have no choice
Scrabble foretold it
Current Scrabble game between myself and May-B.

New Highest Scrabble Score Ever! (With Apologies to May-B)
Beat my previous best score of 513 last week with a new high of 517! Woot!
As happy as I am for doing so well, I felt bad it had to happen when May-B was having such a rough game. Right after she had to swap her tiles, I played slumping for 100 points (my new highest single word score). She started a new game called "Thank God that is over".

My Highest Scrabble Score Ever
A good game for me is anything over 420 (a bad game is anything under 350). There is something about that 420 barrier that is difficult to get past. Previous record was 475. When I realized that I might break 500 I was so excited I could barely stand it.

"Totally Lame" Meme (a little late)
TO DO:
List 5 things you do, did or like that some may consider “totally lame,” but that you are totally proud of.
1. When I play a game, I play by the rules -- no variations. I hate to play "house rules" for Monopoly (i.e. money for free parking, not allowed to buy until after you've gone around the board once, etc.) It only makes a long game even longer. It annoyed my grandma that I didn't want to play Scrabble with 9 tiles instead of 7. I realize there are many variations of card games which does not bother me as long as the rules and variations are decided on before the game starts.
2. I still love the Daily Show. I've had a huge crush on Jon Stewart ever since "the Jon Stewart Show" that came on after Lettermen for a brief time. Some people say it isn't as funny as it used to be but show like it change in waves. Right now a lot of the "correspondents" are relatively new and trying to find the pace of the show. Most people don't remember what it was like when Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Rob Corddry and Ed Helms were new. Exact same thing. At the time I was heartbroken that Mo Rocca, Nancy Walls and Beth Littleford were gone. Eventually over time the new people became favourites as well.
3. I adore Martha Stewart. Yesterday I was reminded of it when she said a recipe called for 2 rims of celery. Martha would never incorrectly call it a stalk. People don't realize how funny she is unless you've seen her eat bean burritos and drink malt liquor on Conan.
4. Math & Science. People don't realize that I love learning about any topic but math and science seems to be less socially acceptable.
5. As many others have mentioned, I have many stuffed animals in my room (well my room in Calgary, they are packed away right now). I have a friend who is a complete minimalist, she thinks anything that does not have a use and is used often needs to be gone. It is so beyond her comprehension to keep something for sentimental reasons. My stuff animals were on top of my bookshelves, they weren't in the way of anything. She said to me "You are a grown woman, you should not have stuffed animals!" I completely disagreed.

Watch out Bron
A couple days ago, one of my favourite words uxorious was Dictionary.com's word of the day. One of my goals in life is to be able to use it in Scrabble. I shall ride my pony when I do.

Rantings of an Occasional Insomniac
I found out this weekend that I am allergic to the adhesive in band-aids. I have to get a special kind of band-aid now but the problem is they don't stick so great.
I was watching Discovery Health last night and learned some interesting facts about PMS. First, a hug from the man you love will help your PMS symptoms more than any pain killers (including morphine). Allergies are worse during PMS.
I also was watching the National Spelling Bee finals from 1998 on Book TV. It was the last couple rounds and there were only about a dozen kids left so the words were pretty hard. There was only one word I knew how to spell or had even heard before (which was paraclete). I also learned that the letter "h" is spelled aitch. I am so using that in Scrabble.
