Yes! Passed the 100-mark... at least there are that much words in this grid. But I would be surprised if I found another 25, 30 words... they are coming very slow now.

@ metags: the first part of your Babe-word works, though... I thought it was a name, but it is also a word, meaning 'compassion, pity'. I learn something new every day here!

I know three of the 4 O's were mentioned earlier, but I'm stumped. I have one of those three (the 4/7) but can't figure out what I haven't tried. Can anyone give me a huge hint and either tell me the second letters, or which O's to try from?? :-)

Got them: for anyone interested, the missing O is a 6-letter word. (see 12:26 and 12:30 for other lengths)
