12:09 am

Those promising U- and i-prefixes are leading almost nowhere... or am I being blind?

12:10 am

the un- has at least one, has to do with shoelaces

12:11 am

Yep. got that one, but I was expecting to find a whole series.

12:11 am

un7/36

12:12 am

Now you're talking! *goes hunting for the UN7*

12:13 am

Un9/72!

12:14 am

Got it, sprite!

12:14 am

Nice one, isn't it! :D

12:14 am

indeed ;)

12:15 am

Yes it is. :)

12:15 am

Still hunting for that U7, though, lol. Got blinded by the 9.

12:17 am

There are two U7's sprite...

12:18 am

Ghe, I only find UN6/24 x 2. I like this grid, by the way :)

*pouts because she cannot find the un7 and 9 yet*

12:18 am

so now I have another one to find, Griff :\

12:19 am

th 8/45 if someone didn't say it already

12:20 am

No one did, thanks Griffs :)

Your kind of word too, sprite

12:21 am

12:26 am

Gotta go rub my lady's back -- back in a few to continue the hunt ;)

12:27 am

Don't rush the rubbing, Woulf... ;) The grid will be here still when you get back.

12:28 am

Stats so far: 188 words. 4-ltr-words 87, 5-83,6-34,7-11,8-2,9-1 A-3 D- 14 E-9 F-5 H-20 I-13 J-2 M-15 N-1 O-6 R-17 S-20 T-42 U-14 W- 7

12:35 am

Got those u's put to bed, sprite! ;)

12:35 am

Great going, Griffs! Still hunting for the 7s, they are in my blind spot.

12:36 am

One's a plural of the previous wd, one puts a consonant in the middle of the previous wd

12:37 am

Ha, thanks, that gave me one right away. One down, one to go...

12:41 am

I'm back -- and no I didn't rush just to get back to the grid....

12:41 am

t7/36

12:41 am

Hey here's a joke in the lull. Dog family is gathered around the Xmas tree. Papa Dog: - Did anyone water the tree? - I did. - I did. - I did. - I did...

12:42 am

LMAO. I was just listening to Daffy Duck: All I want ffor Chriftmaf if my two ffront teetfff, fo I can wiff you Merry Chriftmaf...

12:43 am

Welcome back, Woulf *hug*

12:46 am

(*hug*) I just got the t7 and w7 you started off with, sprite!

12:47 am

Once you see them, they jump out of the grid, those two :) Better than that one missing Un7 here...

12:48 am

sprite -- did you get the plural from Griffs tip?

12:48 am

Yep, it is the other one I am missing.

12:49 am

Sprite, it's what you do all the time in the grid, you leave no word this way even if it's not a word

12:50 am

add the consonant in the middle of the laces un6

12:50 am

How blind can I be? Thanks, both of you, I found it finally. Jumps right in my eyes now ;)

12:51 am

Can you believe I have entered the person doing it a couple of times, just to be sure it really didn't take?

12:51 am

sprite -- yw -- and thanks for giving me a much needed ego boost :D

12:52 am

Just a couple? :D

12:52 am

About 3 times, probably ;) Woulf, somehow I have the feeling that your ego is pretty nicely balanced ;)

12:54 am

most of the time, sprite -- but I've taken a few hits lately -- nothing worth talking about here though :)

12:55 am

(((((Woulf))))) There is always email and you are always welcome to my listening eyes ;) Does it help when I say seeing you here always puts a smile on my face?

12:55 am

But, sprite -- how often do I get the opportunity to give YOU a hint? ;D

12:56 am

Is Tracyo or Funkylady on here tonight?

12:56 am

H7/30 - not sure that one has been mentioned already, sorry if it has.

12:56 am

I look forward to seeing you too, sprite :) ((**HUG**))

12:57 am

Often enough, Woulf. We'll help eachother along here, that's what makes the game worth coming back for :)

12:58 am

so how about a small clue for the sh8?

12:59 am

Helps you put on a clothing accessory...

12:59 am

Part of footwear.

1:00 am

And I was looking for something like that too!!! Pass the fish! :D

1:01 am

That reminds me... where is the fish in this grid? Seems to me we are running low in fish lately. *takes away fish from Woulf - no hitting yourself, dear, appoint a volunteer*

1:02 am

Eels are the only fish lately I've seen.

1:02 am

since you took it, I guess you volunteered ;D

1:03 am

I do, but not for hitting you ;)

1:03 am

Funny thing though. Months of grids with at least one fish in each, and then all of a sudden the season is over.

1:04 am

E6/21 x 2

1:04 am

I remember a few fish in the past week or so, but they were such oddball grid words that I don't remember them --- I only knew they were fish when I checked the def

1:05 am

Oh, I hate the T's. And the S's. And the R's too.

1:06 am

I'd say they count anyway - as long as it is fish. I am sort of attached to having fish with my babble. So far I have 3 H7s, one for 40, one for 36 and one for 32. Are there more?

1:07 am

Not there yet, sprite (am working backward)

1:07 am

LOL Griffs... how about the rest of the alphabeth? I am doing reasonably on the vowels, usually my bad spot, but I am having trouble with the Hs.

1:07 am

got me beat by a h36 sprite

1:08 am

Hm... I have an H7/36 that has as a def: A peculiar starchy matter contained in barley. It is complex mixture. Can't picture you being beat by it ;)

1:09 am

just checked -Brandyjacks stats are up if we want them --- haven't looked yet myself

1:11 am

I never look at those lists, they give away too much to my taste. I am perfectly happy with typing away till I run out, then using all the clues in the chatlog and after that the stats panel.

1:13 am

I am just missing one 7 at this point, how about you?

1:13 am

Got all the biggies. Did you find the H7/36?

1:14 am

Yep -- thanks for the def

1:14 am

I know a H7/36 that is the matter in Barley, but it isn't it.!

1:14 am

LOL corih.

1:15 am

I hate the M's almost as much as I hated the R's and the S's and the T's... just sayin

1:16 am

h7/40 h7/36 h7/32 m7/36 s7/36 t7/32 t7/36 u7/36 x2 w7/48 What am I missing?

1:18 am

All the biggies together: 9: Un72 8s: Sh50, Th45 7s: He40, Ho36, Ho32, M036 Sh36, Sh32, Ti32, Tr36, Un36, Un36, Wi48

1:19 am

GMTA, Woulf, as ever ;) Looks like you are missing the Sh32.

1:19 am

sprite you are incredible

1:20 am

Incredibly addicted, yes ;)

1:25 am

Hail and Ho ho's to all.... what are we in for tonight??

1:26 am

Hi blaze - not too tough a grid...

1:26 am

Hi Blaze -- 188 -- couple of really twisty ones -- :)

1:26 am

It is a great grid, Blaze!

1:27 am

How come rediet isn't a word.... I do it all the time...LOL

1:27 am

That thought had occurred to me too, lol.

1:28 am

Those Ts are killing me. I second your feelings about them, Griffs.

1:29 am

I like the words, it's just the letters I hate

1:29 am

Yeah, just like I love humanity.

1:30 am

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. ....... <choke!>

1:31 am

(*applause*) Hear, hear - sprite :D

1:34 am

brain is going fuzzy -- hint for the sh7/32 please :)

1:35 am

Nickname for someone of lesser stature

1:35 am

*puts fish far out of reach first* *Then says quietly: just change the last letter of your Sh7/36*

1:36 am

thanks -- I thought I tried that... guess I was wrong

1:37 am

Nah, that was a babble gremlin changing the keys of your keyboard when you were busy typing. It's 2562 points today.

1:38 am

congrats sprite!

1:38 am

Well, that could explain the feeling I get sometimes that when I am not looking at the grid, it is printed in french ;D

1:39 am

I have enjoyed this grid very much! AND the company, of course. Any hints needed before I run off and make my kids some breakfast?

1:40 am

None for me, I'm clicking good...

1:41 am

No thanks, sprite -- you (& Griff) helped me with the biggies -- woth only 60 to go I think I will give this about 20 more mins and then turn in :) Go have a great day with your family and a Happy Holiday celebration! Blessings upon you and yours :)

1:41 am

It is such a fun grid :) No really stupid words either, though I had some trouble with the Js. They have been in grids before, however. Good hunting to all of you then, thanks for a wonderful time and if I don't see you tomorrow, best wishes for a cozy Christmas. :)

1:42 am

You too sprite! Big hugs!

1:42 am

(((****HOLIDAY HUG for sprite****)))

1:43 am

(((Griffs & Woulf))))) Bye then!

2:00 am

Temple -- PM has not been that bad so you should be OK --- KOP was a madhouse though of course I am not working tomorrow so once again the chance to meet is thwarted! :D

2:04 am

4:44 am

the car just lurks, waiting for my eyes to open, then jumps on chest to be scratched (left ear epecially). He was wanting to bite the hand moving the mouse but I threated thwapping with pillow and he departed in a huff. Too early for cat food I say.

Ktf no change the last letter for id4/6

5:30 am

Why won't it accept rehome and rehomed? I have rehomed severfal cats from the cat sanctuary! Merry Christmas, all.

5:30 am

Is it usually hyphenated? Re-homed?

5:33 am

Maybe you're right (sigh). It won't allow sarnie, either. Or is that another Northern English word?

5:33 am

There's nothing wrong with a sarnie in my book. I could go for one now, actually. *yawn*

any help with the in's please??

5:36 am

It won't accept 'Jedi.' I guess the Force has left the building.

5:37 am

In-go left

5:37 am

*yawning* hi everyone...I'm hardly ever around for the morning crowd, so nice to meet you :)

5:38 am

Mornin' from Australia.

5:39 am

Merry Christmas? But it's the 24th?

5:40 am

*forces brain to work* oooooh...merry Christmas!

only 1 hour and 20 minutes to christmas for us!!

5:40 am

Oh, right. I forgot that it's the other way around. Er, never mind. We're about an hour away from the 25th, and I'm all confused.

ktf... come sit with me and I will massage your brain!

5:41 am

ah, whichever way round it is, merry christmas anyway!

5:42 am

*sits next to El Pres* One Smithers-stye brain massage, please. Where are you from? I'm a Melburnian, myself.

5:42 am

We're 12 and a half hours away from Christmas Day. Can't wait to open my pressies. Wonder if there will be a Babble grid tomorrow? or will Dr God take a day off?

OK.... the in's are stumping me bad! Any clues for what you guys already have plz?? ... go left? I don't get it... sorry

Ktf... from Sydney, but am holidaying in Foster at the moment (((holiday hugs)))

Nope. Did I mention that I suck at this? *grin*

5:46 am

Oooh...I'm very competive. I suck more than YOU!!! *sticks out tongue* (er, yeah, can you tell I'm still in school? ^_^)

5:47 am

I just finished a degree in literature and I still suck. Go figure. Maybe I can blame the dog falling asleep on my lap.

5:48 am

Ktf, that must be it :)

5:48 am

Oh, absolutely. *nods sagely*

Hold still ... am getting my fingers stuck in your ears with all this nodding!!

5:49 am

Myself, I blame the fact that I'm wearing odd socks. It's bad feng shui? (If that's spelt wrong, that just testifies to what I was saying about the socks!)

5:50 am

Ouch. Stop poking my brain, please. I might need it to appear normal for the relatives tomorrow.

5:55 am

Wow, Ktf...wish my relatives were as considerate as you. I just got back from staying with grandparents, and the one thing they do NOT worry about is appearing normal :/

5:55 am

Heh, well. I think I'm stuck on 49. Told you I sucked.

5:58 am

Representing the brits with 19 words over here *raises arms in victory* Then again, I'm trying to do geoggers homework at the same time...I won't mention the number of times I've tried to add the words "convectional rainfall" and "conservation" to my word list

6:01 am

Hey Karen! :) Ktf, fact of the day?

6:04 am

Oh dear. Just glanced in the mirror and found out I'm not having so much of a bad hair day as just a MAD hair day. Actually, a full blown, psychologically scarred, insane, sitting-in-corner-rocking-back -and-forth hair day...

6:15 am

(which is what I say when I don't have any clues to offer. They're killing me too. I only have one.)

6:16 am

6:47 am

Pressie is appropriate... only 12 minutes to go before I rip my pressies apart!!

6:50 am

heh...enjoy it :)

6:53 am

Why can't I have hoho (would seem appropriate)?

6:57 am

I don't know, I'm still puzzling over why 'Jedi' and 'mornin' aren't words...as in, "Mornin Jim, how's the family?"

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Being the last working day before the holidays... all the freight trains got priority over us mere people... we sat for an hour about a mile from the stations waiting for a tfreight train to finish before we could unload... the kids were beyond endurance... then we would have to wait some more...

8:32 am

Frances, thanks again, found the n word (which is usually spelled with a different vowel in the middle) and the J words. But aren't the J words proper nouns.

8:32 am

got it,thx Haz

8:33 am

I'm debating whether to play a bit & mess up by ranking... might be good therapy just to play for fun (rather an obssession to finish...)

8:33 am

You're welcome - zebiddy - I'm having a 15 minute break before tackling the final house-clean.

Never worry about your ranking, Jera - go ahead and play.

8:39 am

Hey Shorty! Save for a different way of spelling it, your name is in here!

8:39 am

THere's an sh 5/14 which means to cut into strips. Is that the one? I haven't a list yet.

8:40 am

Not sure if it's the right one, Marc, but to rip?

8:41 am

Why isn't Shonin a word? As in a senior ninja?

8:41 am

Oh right. Because it isn't in there.

8:42 am

that could explain it...

8:42 am

10:02 am

Red is such a Christmassy colour, though! Mine's a shot of Miyavi from the Jingle Bell Kari single, and if I'm not mistaken, Babs' icon is Die (honest, that's his name) from Cage.

10:02 am

3:04 pm

I understand... it's hard to explain sometimes, especially the really bizarre words...

3:06 pm

I'm working on the Christmas Chocolate Saturation Program--makes it hard to remember anything more than a few minutes... In about an hour I head off to the Christmas Music Vortex....

3:07 pm

what kind of chocolate harp? one of our vendors sent me a basket of godivas.....a BIG basket

3:09 pm

I've been eating what ever people bring to my door! Plus I have peppermint bark (peppermint candies ground up into chocolate), and fudge, that I allegedly bought to give to others! Some of it seems to be ending up in my belly!

3:10 pm

Also bought chocolate dinosaur eggs for the neighbor kids! A big chocolate egg filled with tiny chocolate dinosaurs.....Don't have kids of my own, so I have to spoil other people's kids!

3:11 pm

3:14 pm

3:34 pm

RedMenace- did you get in 6/27 yet? I finally got it.

3:34 pm

aknitter, duh on my part. LOL

3:35 pm

ru 5- ru+ a metal alloy.

3:35 pm

aknitter/Deutsch - re5 - weird word, ends in a metal :)

3:36 pm

hey Deutsch it was an honest and VERY HELPFUL mistake. i'll take my clues any where i can LOL

3:38 pm

ru5: a yellow crystalline flavonol glycoside C27H30O16 that occurs in various plants (as tobacco, and buckwheat), that yields quercetin and ru****** on hydrolysis, and that is used chiefly for strengthening capillary blood vessels (as in cases of hypertension and radiation injury)

3:39 pm

i see the metal, just cant seem to figure out how to get there --- too many cookies, they have damaged my brain

3:39 pm

just trying to help :-P

3:39 pm

as 6?

3:39 pm

Ah yes, the ru 5, why just the other day I was talking with my doctor about strengthening my blood capillaries! LOL Oh, and thanks!

3:40 pm

3:40 pm

as6 - Michael row the boat as6...

3:40 pm

hey! gotta maintain a sense of humor, eh?

3:41 pm

Thanks! You know, I saw that clue earlier today and thought someone was mixed up, still giving clues from the day before! (Chocolate, must have more chocolate....)

3:41 pm

ru5 comes from the R on the bottom row..

3:41 pm

3:45 pm

jedi is a proper noun!

3:45 pm

I need help with the first ti6/21 & the ti7/32 that comes right after (I'm assuming they are related)...

3:46 pm

Lol! I tried 'Jera'. Doesn't work either!!

3:46 pm

Hello Yoink!

3:46 pm

ti 6/21 and 7/32 -- think tiny pieces of wood to start a fire

3:46 pm

Jera - ti6/21 - wood to light a fire :)

3:47 pm

...matchstick?

3:47 pm

ti 6/21 and ti 7/32 - like a word for soft and gentle. I think there's an old Hans Christian Anderson story about a ti****box

3:48 pm

tyvm, sherb!

3:48 pm

11 words to go... all evil un's!!!

3:49 pm

ti 4/4, the very last word?

3:49 pm

3:49 pm

ti 4/4 - means apprentice and ends in vowel

3:50 pm

thanks haz, new word for me

3:50 pm

Peri, re5 is what what we, on this of the pond, would call a repeat on TV : )

3:51 pm

re 5/12 - re plus verb meaning to move at a faster pace than a walk ru 5/12 - ru plus English version of can

3:51 pm

Peri, the ru5 - think of gin, as in Mother's R... and drop a cuppa in the middle : )

3:52 pm

You can nearly make "ninja" from the grid, that would have made my hamster happy

3:54 pm

found the re5, can't seem to get the ru5, Anj, don't know what Mothers R... is

3:54 pm

Yoink, but you can make ninjer which is, like, more so I guess... : )

3:54 pm

....back! I'd hop and skip back into the log, except I have now had FOUR mince pies today and am no longer nimble... : /

3:54 pm

Babs! ((xx))

3:54 pm

7:10 pm

how many words are there in today's puzzle?

7:10 pm

7:19 pm

7:23 pm

did you try www.morewords.com. If that isn't it I'm clueless but it sounds like it could really be of help

7:25 pm

http://www.a2zwordfinder.com/

7:58 pm

Hi peri and Temple -- Baby is not feeling well so her schedule is a little off -- she is just getting dinner and to bed now -- I'll be back later to finish though -- Happy holidays!!

8:31 pm

How old is your baby GreyWoulf?

8:32 pm

8:33 pm

Such a wonderful age. I teach parenting classes and that is by far my favorite age to discuss

8:35 pm

I can't get the in6/27 - searching and searching. Clues, please.

8:36 pm

in6/27 in plus the price you pay to ride a bus

8:36 pm

That's very interesting, mas! She's my first, but I find this to be the most fun time so far --- watching her figure things out for herself is fascinating! :) And the utter enthusiasm with which she greets any new experience - even negative ones! She has definitely revived my hope for the future ;D

8:38 pm

mas - thank you - I've been looking in the wrong direction. DUH.

8:38 pm

8:38 pm

does anyone have the last sh5/12?

8:39 pm

8:40 pm

That's very sad to hear, mas -- that parents have forgotten that they gain at least as much from their children as their children do from them

8:41 pm

Thanks Dianne -- see, I was in the wrong direction too! ;)

8:42 pm

Temple - take the sh4/5 and add a vowel.

thanks, dianne!

8:43 pm

somehow I just got fixed on the N in the middle of the bottom row and that really gave me problems - until mas pointed me in the other direction.

8:46 pm

Gotta go - time for coffee and prezzies. Have a good night, morning, day. See you later :)

8:47 pm

So long, Dianne -- Glad I go to see you to wish you a Happy Holiday :) (*hug*)
