Good morning all.
good morning, sukee
hi lbd
Picked up new lap top yesterday
do you like it?
Welcome to the Lenovo club
I like it so far. Had a bit of trouble finding the power button this morning but eventually did :)
If it's like my Lenovo, I completly understand
The keyboard is flatter and the bottom is thinner than my last laptop.
My power button is tiny and on the side
And it is quiet... and no vibrations :)
I like the fan being on top too
Yes, and since everything is black it is hard to find :)
I thought it was the sim card slot at first.
The fan? I don't know where mine is
It is the bar on top. I noticed when I pressed a button that said I could blow dust out of the fan.
Mine doesn't have that feature
I can't remember now how I got that to show up :)
Anyway, got a good deal on this laptop and saved even more because I took one where the box had been opened.
A can of compressed air will get more dust out of your fan than blowing on it.
I know, I will be using that too
With two cats and living near the highway, dust is a constant.
I wish I knew where mine was
nbt
any clues for the se7/8?
Nope, don't have those yet
Small hot pepper and plural
ty mari!
Your welcome
TY
You're !!!!
Got them with a little help from Google
so the 8s I have are se, st and tr. What are the stats for the other one?
tadone! well that was a fun grid. not grueling as the last few were, especially without Lickety!
wtg
be 8/60 sukee
Ty
yw
hello everyone
se, small hot pepper. I don't know what that is
Hi rubes
Mexican
the Pepper go** in a spiral, top to bottom and around
SE 7/28 SE + double consonants + 1st vowel + 4th vowel and plural for the 8
I found it hard to find even after I knew it
wow, sukee!
I knew the Pepper, wasn't sure how to spell it
And I forgot a letter :)
There is a consonant between vowels.
clue for the be_, pls
be8
think of plural French shepherdess :-)
stet
sorry for st
bonjour, une
bonjour, ruby :-)
ty sukee
Good morning, everybody :)
Ty Une, also part of a big draw in Paris.
Hi Crossy
hey crossy!
It is gorgeously sunny, 2nd day in a row and yesterday I bought all the new plants for the garden. Potager is ready to be planted
(((crossy)))
terrific!
Going to rain here, but it will be warm :) I can tell it is going to rain because my knees are telling me
and the handyman excised all the dead stuff including an enormous evergeen which had started as a cute baby, grew huge and then died
and the trees are almost ready to pop out their leaves. Some have already but there are a few more in this neighbourhood to come out.
It has rained and been chilly all week so far. Very un May like. Won't get warm til Monday
I love the garden st***
It's very cold in the morning and there's still snow in the mountains, but no frost here
Tomorrow they say sunny and 19 :)
I wish I was strong enough to work in the garden. I just point
A host of Dancing with the Stars is in the grid
We are still waiting for the first leaves to make an appearance. :(
I bet we are going to be getting some smoke coming our way in the next few days.
how close are you to the fires?
Thousands of miles :) But it will travel.
so you can add soot to your dusty mix!
Well, about a 1,000 miles
3,000 km
My dust is combined with huge round pollen, fireplace ash and dog fur and dander
Went to check out the noise in the bathroom, the cats have chosen to have their fight in there this morning.
that's very funny, sukee. You should make a video (not that I ever could lol)
I am going to make some breakfast, will be back
my pups only "play fight" and chase if someone is watching
128, nbt and nbs and stuck
see you later, kids
I'm back
wb :)
Thanks, going with the list
Okay, off for now. Time for some chores :)
good morning everyone
br4/6(I have the COLD one)?
abbreviation for not sisters
flosey, for goodness sake honey. what time is it there?
ty...did not know we could use abbreviations.
read the definition
apparently aeb....lolll. well awol and snafu are in the dictionary.
it was about 5:30 am when I got up!! was just out making a cup of coffee
byz, it does say it is slang. so is slang allowed??
it's now 5:52 am
ugh, flosey. you have two 5 o'clocks in your day??
yes, ridiculous hour to be up, eh!
absolutely... you poor thing. i have had so much sleep over the last few days i am still up at nearly 11pm here.
just looking up to see what is outside my window - the neighbouring ducks - the kind with the long neck!! coming over to feed on our grass and bugs or whatever it is they're after
once I'm awake, I have to get up
but tomorrow i will be back in the saddle, so to speak.i didn't realise just how tired i was pre-infusion until today. i went to change the towels and found last week's towels etc. still on the laundry floor.
That fire in Alberta is troublesome.
so i have done three loads today, and plan on doing two more tomorrow.
indeed, byz. it has been on our news also. terrifying to say the least.
does anyone have the clues today?
Lickety is up
lickety is up
oh, great, I failed to look there. Glad she's back in the saddle.
he
ummm, paco. it's a he... loll
Oh! lolol didn't know that grannyrose. funny, funny.
*giggle* i'm okay with it... not sure lickety is. he is actually a wonderful person.
indeed! Lickety has faithfully been supplying us with these clues for many years - I've been into this since 1906
I don't think so Flosey
I like the moniker! It drew a pic in my head.
no? why
1906
flosey.....1906?
is a JOKE people lol
lol, 2006 - I wasn't around way back then,
she meant 2006.
wow flosey.. you look fabulous for 130 years old
I was going to ask for her recipe box
the archives and the copyright date show babble starting in 2003
we're old, but not that old. :)
George keeps her young :D
thats the trick ru
:D
that would explain the memory loss!!!
lol
and now... DH has taken himself off to bed... am gonna follow... my luck just may hold out... lolll xoxox
I want to be like George when I grow up..witty, happy, and inquisitive
bergere
*thought Don would drag GR to bed like a caveman
he is all of that, ru
Good goals
good morning babblers!
hi mommy to be
Hiya Eva
hello there. :)
good morning Eva
how are we all today?
I'm tired from working in LA yesterday.. but laying low today
fine here, thanks Eva - and how are you?
yeah.. how has all the check ups on the baby gone eva
yes, i can see how LA could be exhausting. i say that working in DC everyday -- different kind of exhaustion, but equally so!
Ru did you fly down?
yes.. and ubered myself to death going all over the place.
Sounds exhausting.
doing well -- due in for my in-depth sonogram next week where we get to count fingers and toes! excited for that one. :) my mom is coming with me... i think ive started to feel little man kick me + roll over, but im still getting used to things, so im not completely sure whats him + whats just normal tummy feelings...
Eva, it will become more obvious soon.
Still going blank on b's.
the only one i have so far (just getting started) is BR4 - not sisters.
wow, my mouse was in the wrong place on that one
I got that, thanks.
that's got to be a weird sensation having someone kick in you.. kind of like the bear in the Revenant .. maybe you have a little Leonardo in you :D
what an odd film.
I walked out on it hego.. too violent
right now, it just kind a feels like gas bubbles. heh
and gross!
I'm not a huge Dicaprio fan anyways
We watched the whole thing. It was also so dark and gloomy.
second br 4 is rediculous
that's the thing about the academy awards.. they give actors their Oscars at the wrong time. Di Caprio should have won for Wolf of Wall Street (zippo) and then no way he should have won for Revanant
He was very good, though.
I think he got it for effort.
one thing i read that i DO think was interesting about the filming of the Revenant was that they wanted to film as much as possible in natural light... so the actors would rehearse + mark scenes, but in many cases, the scenes in the film were (because they had to be) first takes.
Interesting Eva.
I bet he's had a rougher time in bed with all those Models he dates
I doubt that.
i will never love him more than i did in Growing Pains and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. :)
he was a cute kid.
Later...
bye hego
when you come back we'll have to call you rego
nbt nbs and halfway! bbl!
any B clues? I have the not sises and the Titanic nemeis

hi ruby and zooz
((zzoozz))
Hello, Bichon :-)
((Ruby))
([bichon}}
It is so beautiful today that I actually did a little (very little) weeding
A beautiful day here, Ruby. Hope you are having the same type of weather.
Life is so peaceful without Polo
does Marco miss him.
is Marco K?
snaphego and hello
Doesn't seem to
Hi dear Ruby
Every day, more flowers open: today the allium have started;.
It's cold and gloomy here. But things are blossoming
what hego said
They are red-violet and I st****d with5 and now there are more than 40
Your warm weather will be there soon, Hego :-)
Hope so Zooz
Not until Monday. Coldest May I've ever spent
We got English weather. lol
LOL
I'll never forget the poor queen's jubilee.
I hear Canada is not having it good with that raging fire.
Freezing her royal butt off in June.
That is Welki country up there.
The queen was just fine..it was everyone else who was cold.
And it was raining for her birthday celebration
But her city isn't near the fires.
Zooz, yes, she is an amazing woman.
Glad her city is not near the fire, Hego. Hope everyone will be okay and safe.
We stopped using the heat when we came back from our river cruise on 4/19
My heat is on.
Oh yes how was it, Bichon? Hope you had a fantastic time!
Bichon, how was your trip?
Superb. It was a Jewish Heritage cruise and we saw a lot of sad things
Where? Europe?
Started in Budapets and up the Danube ending up in Prague
Interesting
We visited two concentration camps and we had a Holocaust survivor to give us lectures on boar
Must have been very emotional.
For everyone
Oh frabjous day! Caloo, Callay! Lickety is back!
Does anyone know what happened with Lickety?
Now that I have actually looked at the chat, I realize that my shout of rapture may have been a tiny bit out of place. Apologies to any who felt discombobulated by it.
47 left and I've run out of ideas
That's how I felt too
I've been telling myself that he was feeling unwell.
what can we call you for short, HGK?
Helens works, - or kid!
kid is good; we're the same age!
And there's a time-honoured pattern of using the first syllable - Hel!
terra
Kid it shall be.
whoops
Thanks - hadn't seen it!
Time to forage a meal; today is a Holiday, so there's no mealdelivery
Enjoy, ruby!
I'll make white asparagus with Hollandaise (sauce comes in a nifty package) on toast with a couple of yolks stirred in
Sounds good, Ruby. Must be you are feeling better so you can enjoy a good meal.
Oh ruby, drool. The white asparagus we get here is not up to standard
It's the most fattening thing I can think of, trying hard to gain weight.
You go girl
That's two of us, ruby - I have two doctors breathing down my neck about this!
It's in season and inepensive. I look like an illustration in a medical book; you can see every bone and blood vessel
The food suppléments are undrinkable
Yikes. Eggs and veggies sounds grand tho. Yeah. Protein shakes sucks.
You can taste the vitamins
Even if I didn't need to to gain weight, just steam the Spargel and but some olive oil on it
I've st****d snackingon nuts and dried fruit
Nuts are good too. (if you're not allergic).
Cheese, too, are tasty and useful snacks.
Cookie dough! Oh, wait...
Macadamia nuts and Brazil nuts are high in fat
I eat a lotof it when it is coming from Europe but refuse to buy it when it comes from Sou. America
With a touch of ice cream at night!
Macadamia nuts ae a good idea and avocado, although they'renot very good here
I put them in a drawer to ripen them but usuallyforget and have to throw them away
aaaah, cookie dough or even cookies....
this conversation has mademe hungry. Thanks, kids andkid!
Avocados are delicate things. Once you cut them open, you'd better eat them pronto.
good morning, everyone
ah - we have lickety - yay :)
be 7 please?
BE 7 / 8 combo - block of ice + come right h***
ty teach
yvw
just been reading the chat -- I like kid a lot too --- much better than that patronizing "dearie"
Also, at my age, refreshing!
we are the same age, kid
what's it like in Calgary today? ... guess I can't call my son and give him a hard time as it is raining here
It's drizzling at the moment. Much as I prefer sunny days, Fort McMurray is reminding us all that WE NEED RAIN!
FIREWORKS! I'll drop back in later - when I'm not starving!
There are shouts of rapture in here? I thought this board was rated PG.
hint for ts???
ts- yiddish for troubles, variant spelling
not knowing yiddish, could you come up with another clue, please?
nm - found it
se 7 please?
An extremely hot chili pepper.
no idea on that one, zoom
SE + double consanant going into not walk + vowel.
then plural for the SE 8.
ty zoom - a new one for me
Consonant* geez.
only peppers mild enough for me are bell peppers
Yes I am not keen on very hot as it numbs the tongue.
Well I only popped in. Off again to do other things. Have a good babble session, Nan :-)

Good evening, Babblers!
Nancy - you are out of control!
you can blame the drugs I am on after surgery....lol
Always a good excuse!
Wow, it's hard to keep up with all the surgery, illness, bad health stories in this forum. Bless the whole, sickly bunch.
I'm only sick of my job. Does that count?
Sick is sick. You are sick of your new job already?
Mostly I'm sick of my dickheaded boss.
nothing worse thant a sick dickhead
hopefully Judi doesn't rub him wrong :D
Hey now!
just testing the chat waters
Likely that I would need a microscope to find that part of his anatomy anyway. He's a bully, so clearly he's trying to compensate for something.
Clues for the Se7 & 8, please?
peppers...
Ty!
yw...
Big men with little parts (or bits, as Zoom calls them) are usually Grade A assholes.
ah.. that's why I'm such a nice guy then :D
Whee! Chat waters just shifted into Adult Swim.
He's a challenge, Molly. Negative about everything. Reactive rather than proactive. "I have the power to ____________" , is his favorite line.
maybe I'm endowed with a good sense of humor? :D
penquis ... can you expand on peppers please :)
A type of chili pepper, Norma.
Pen, remember, hot pepper clues generally fail with people across the pond.
sounds spanish....
Ruru is well hung in the personality department.
I dont think we have other names for peppers in the UK
Er 6 & &?
Thanks Molly I am across the pond lol xx
Now if that clue was about a potato, Norman would be all over it.
sorry...
Norma! Sorry. I have a cat named "Norman".
My father wanted a boy and was so disappointed couldn't be bothered to choose a girls name just took the n off the end lol
A larger company just bought Pepco Holdings (where my hubby works), so now there is turmoil there as well. He's getting moved to a new department.
judi....most of the word for chores, daily things you have to do like go to the store....
ends with picnic pest...
Ty, pen!
yw...
Wow Judi. You two have certainly been through job stress this year. That sucks.
Sorry. This is really the only safe place I can bitch about job stuff.
Good Lord Judi. No need to worry about bitching here. This is Bitch Central.
*adjusts crown* Bitch Queen for a Day!
Off to go celebrate the totally fictional Cinco de Mayo. Then again, any excuse to drink tequila is okay by me.
bye judi...have fun...
I will counteract the bitch theme with a positive. My son just came home with yet another thank you gift card from one of the parents at the day care center where he works. It's nice when good people get a gesture of appreciation.
yes, very nice!
i know a parent whose son i evaluated many years ago....every time i see her in the community, she thanks me for the work i did with her son....makes me feel good... ;o)
i am done...
ok.. Kardashian overkill.. Caitlyn Jenner is going to pose nude for the cover of Sports Illustrated.. that is a little over the top I think
eww....
i am heading out....goodnight, ru, molly....*waving to the lurkers*....
And the sickos (of which there are many) will buy that issue of Sports Illustrated and keep this kind of media splash alive.
I can't believe that he wants to stay in the spotlight to be honest. It's not like he's being a leader for the LBGT community
I find it sad that he/she has attempted to be a spotlight person for the transgender community. I think that media presence is making people turn against the issue.
I kind of wondered that too.
I think it is a really personal situation and I am not at all sure why anyone would want to make it a splash in the media. It seems all about money to me. Which I find very sad.
Thanks for the conversation about current events Ru. Seems like chat is all about clues and woes. It was nice to talk about things going on in the world.
anyone here?
hi Jen
Good morning from Downunder. Back to find my last 15 words.
hi gemini
hi Lizlin
Hi Jen
I am just getting started and this grid is crazy!
There are certainly some unusual words in it!
Very happy to have Lickety but also thanks to those who listed early on yesterday.
Just might have to do that
It's helped me - especially to find words, which either I thought I'd entered or thought weren
weren't in the grid.
I like to find the most words on my own first, then go to more words, then lickety
I also do that. I got down to somewhere in the 20s before I used a list.
Fireworks. Last word the 5/10 - I was sure it wasn't in the grid. I really should learn to try everything!
Any clues before I go?
*te 5/10
bye lizlin
Have a good evening.
You too!
It's hard to find most words on your own first, with so many clues in the chat. I have to keep chat turned off for that.
NBT finally
I'm back now.. yes.. nice to talk about stuff going on in the world. I agree
Looks like it is me and you, ruru.
Hi there,
hi sukee
working on my last word
hi jen and sukee
go sukee
ack, I had 2 words left. NOW I am working on my last
And fireworks, just as my team won the game too :)
yeah, sukee!
go blue jays :)
