Welcome to the Lenovo club
5:21 am
sukee
I like it so far. Had a bit of trouble finding the power button this morning but eventually did :)
5:22 am
bichon
If it's like my Lenovo, I completly understand
5:22 am
sukee
The keyboard is flatter and the bottom is thinner than my last laptop.
5:23 am
bichon
My power button is tiny and on the side
5:23 am
sukee
And it is quiet... and no vibrations :)
5:23 am
sukee
I like the fan being on top too
5:23 am
sukee
Yes, and since everything is black it is hard to find :)
5:24 am
sukee
I thought it was the sim card slot at first.
5:24 am
bichon
The fan? I don't know where mine is
5:25 am
sukee
It is the bar on top. I noticed when I pressed a button that said I could blow dust out of the fan.
5:25 am
bichon
Mine doesn't have that feature
5:26 am
sukee
I can't remember now how I got that to show up :)
5:27 am
sukee
Anyway, got a good deal on this laptop and saved even more because I took one where the box had been opened.
5:27 am
MollyL
A can of compressed air will get more dust out of your fan than blowing on it.
5:28 am
sukee
I know, I will be using that too
5:28 am
sukee
With two cats and living near the highway, dust is a constant.
5:31 am

I wish I knew where mine was
5:36 am

the Pepper go** in a spiral, top to bottom and around
5:49 am
sukee
SE 7/28 SE + double consonants + 1st vowel + 4th vowel and plural for the 8
5:50 am
sukee
I found it hard to find even after I knew it
5:50 am
rubyfoo
wow, sukee!
5:50 am
rubyfoo
I knew the Pepper, wasn't sure how to spell it
5:51 am

And I forgot a letter :)

There is a consonant between vowels.

and the handyman excised all the dead stuff including an enormous evergeen which had started as a cute baby, grew huge and then died
5:55 am
sukee
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.
5:56 am

It has rained and been chilly all week so far. Very un May like. Won't get warm til Monday

Tomorrow they say sunny and 19 :)
5:57 am

I wish I was strong enough to work in the garden. I just point
5:57 am

A host of Dancing with the Stars is in the grid
5:59 am

We are still waiting for the first leaves to make an appearance. :(
6:01 am
sukee
I bet we are going to be getting some smoke coming our way in the next few days.
6:01 am
rubyfoo
how close are you to the fires?
6:02 am
sukee
Thousands of miles :) But it will travel.
6:02 am
rubyfoo
so you can add soot to your dusty mix!
6:02 am
sukee
Well, about a 1,000 miles
6:02 am
rubyfoo
My dust is combined with huge round pollen, fireplace ash and dog fur and dander
6:04 am
sukee
Went to check out the noise in the bathroom, the cats have chosen to have their fight in there this morning.
6:05 am
rubyfoo
that's very funny, sukee. You should make a video (not that I ever could lol)
6:06 am
sukee
I am going to make some breakfast, will be back

ugh, flosey. you have two 5 o'clocks in your day??
7:55 am

7:56 am
grannyrose
absolutely... you poor thing. i have had so much sleep over the last few days i am still up at nearly 11pm here.
7:56 am
flosey
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
7:57 am
flosey
once I'm awake, I have to get up
7:58 am
grannyrose
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.
7:59 am

That fire in Alberta is troublesome.

fine here, thanks Eva - and how are you?
8:48 am
rururocks
yeah.. how has all the check ups on the baby gone eva
8:49 am
EvaNadine
yes, i can see how LA could be exhausting.
i say that working in DC everyday -- different kind of exhaustion, but equally so!
8:49 am
hego
Ru did you fly down?
8:49 am
rururocks
yes.. and ubered myself to death going all over the place.
8:49 am
hego
Sounds exhausting.
8:49 am
EvaNadine
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...
8:50 am
hego
Eva, it will become more obvious soon.
8:51 am
hego
Still going blank on b's.
8:51 am
EvaNadine
the only one i have so far (just getting started) is BR4 - not sisters.
8:51 am
paco12348
wow, my mouse was in the wrong place on that one
8:52 am
hego
I got that, thanks.
8:52 am
rururocks
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
8:52 am
hego
what an odd film.
8:52 am
rururocks
I walked out on it hego.. too violent
8:52 am
EvaNadine
right now, it just kind a feels like gas bubbles. heh
8:53 am
rururocks
I'm not a huge Dicaprio fan anyways
8:53 am
hego
We watched the whole thing. It was also so dark and gloomy.
8:56 am
hego
second br 4 is rediculous
8:56 am
rururocks
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
8:57 am
hego
He was very good, though.
8:57 am
hego
I think he got it for effort.
8:57 am
EvaNadine
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.
8:58 am
hego
Interesting Eva.
8:59 am
rururocks
I bet he's had a rougher time in bed with all those Models he dates
8:59 am
hego
I doubt that.
8:59 am
EvaNadine
i will never love him more than i did in Growing Pains and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. :)

I'll never forget the poor queen's jubilee.
10:01 am
zoozzoom
I hear Canada is not having it good with that raging fire.
10:02 am
hego
Freezing her royal butt off in June.
10:02 am
hego
That is Welki country up there.
10:02 am
zoozzoom
The queen was just fine..it was everyone else who was cold.
10:02 am
rubyfoo
And it was raining for her birthday celebration
10:02 am
hego
But her city isn't near the fires.
10:03 am
hego
Zooz, yes, she is an amazing woman.
10:03 am
zoozzoom
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
10:04 am
hego
My heat is on.
10:04 am
zoozzoom
Oh yes how was it, Bichon? Hope you had a fantastic time!
10:04 am
hego
Bichon, how was your trip?
10:05 am
bichon
Superb. It was a Jewish Heritage cruise and we saw a lot of sad things
10:05 am
hego
Where? Europe?
10:06 am
bichon
Started in Budapets and up the Danube ending up in Prague
10:06 am
hego
Interesting
10:07 am
bichon
We visited two concentration camps and we had a Holocaust survivor to give us lectures on boar
10:08 am
hego
Must have been very emotional.
10:09 am

For everyone

Oh frabjous day! Caloo, Callay! Lickety is back!
10:13 am
Bethjt
Does anyone know what happened with Lickety?
10:14 am
helensgirlkid
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.
10:14 am
rubyfoo
47 left and I've run out of ideas
10:15 am
bichon
That's how I felt too
10:15 am
helensgirlkid
I've been telling myself that he was feeling unwell.
10:15 am
rubyfoo
what can we call you for short, HGK?
10:15 am
helensgirlkid
Helens works, - or kid!
10:16 am
rubyfoo
kid is good; we're the same age!
10:16 am
helensgirlkid
And there's a time-honoured pattern of using the first syllable - Hel!
10:16 am
helensgirlkid
Kid it shall be.
10:17 am
helensgirlkid
Thanks - hadn't seen it!
10:19 am
rubyfoo
Time to forage a meal; today is a Holiday, so there's no mealdelivery
10:20 am
helensgirlkid
Enjoy, ruby!
10:21 am
rubyfoo
I'll make white asparagus with Hollandaise (sauce comes in a nifty package) on toast with a couple of yolks stirred in
10:22 am
Judi
Sounds good, Ruby. Must be you are feeling better so you can enjoy a good meal.
10:24 am
bichon
Oh ruby, drool. The white asparagus we get here is not up to standard
10:24 am
rubyfoo
It's the most fattening thing I can think of, trying hard to gain weight.
10:24 am
bichon
You go girl
10:25 am
helensgirlkid
That's two of us, ruby - I have two doctors breathing down my neck about this!
10:25 am
rubyfoo
It's in season and inepensive. I look like an illustration in a medical book; you can see every bone and blood vessel
10:26 am
rubyfoo
The food suppléments are undrinkable
10:27 am
Judi
Yikes. Eggs and veggies sounds grand tho. Yeah. Protein shakes sucks.
10:27 am
rubyfoo
You can taste the vitamins
10:28 am
bichon
Even if I didn't need to to gain weight, just steam the Spargel and but some olive oil on it
10:28 am
rubyfoo
I've st****d snackingon nuts and dried fruit
10:28 am
Judi
Nuts are good too. (if you're not allergic).
10:29 am
helensgirlkid
Cheese, too, are tasty and useful snacks.
10:29 am
Judi
Cookie dough! Oh, wait...
10:29 am
bichon
Macadamia nuts and Brazil nuts are high in fat
10:29 am
rubyfoo
I eat a lotof it when it is coming from Europe but refuse to buy it when it comes from Sou. America
10:29 am
helensgirlkid
With a touch of ice cream at night!
10:30 am
rubyfoo
Macadamia nuts ae a good idea and avocado, although they'renot very good here
10:31 am
rubyfoo
I put them in a drawer to ripen them but usuallyforget and have to throw them away
10:32 am
rubyfoo
aaaah, cookie dough or even cookies....
10:33 am
rubyfoo
this conversation has mademe hungry. Thanks, kids andkid!
10:35 am
Judi
Avocados are delicate things. Once you cut them open, you'd better eat them pronto.

11:08 am
cybernan
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
11:21 am
helensgirlkid
It's drizzling at the moment. Much as I prefer sunny days, Fort McMurray is reminding us all that WE NEED RAIN!
11:29 am
helensgirlkid
FIREWORKS! I'll drop back in later - when I'm not starving!
11:41 am

Good evening, Babblers!
4:45 pm
Judi
Nancy - you are out of control!
4:46 pm
NANCY
you can blame the drugs I am on after surgery....lol
4:47 pm
Judi
Always a good excuse!
4:51 pm
MollyL
Wow, it's hard to keep up with all the surgery, illness, bad health stories in this forum. Bless the whole, sickly bunch.
4:53 pm
Judi
I'm only sick of my job. Does that count?
4:54 pm
MollyL
Sick is sick. You are sick of your new job already?
4:54 pm
Judi
Mostly I'm sick of my dickheaded boss.
5:03 pm
rururocks
nothing worse thant a sick dickhead
5:09 pm
rururocks
hopefully Judi doesn't rub him wrong :D
5:10 pm
rururocks
just testing the chat waters
5:11 pm
Judi
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.
5:13 pm
Judi
Clues for the Se7 & 8, please?
5:14 pm
penquis
peppers...
5:14 pm
MollyL
Big men with little parts (or bits, as Zoom calls them) are usually Grade A assholes.
5:15 pm
rururocks
ah.. that's why I'm such a nice guy then :D
5:15 pm
MollyL
Whee! Chat waters just shifted into Adult Swim.
5:15 pm
Judi
He's a challenge, Molly. Negative about everything. Reactive rather than proactive. "I have the power to ____________" , is his favorite line.
5:16 pm
rururocks
maybe I'm endowed with a good sense of humor? :D
5:16 pm
Norma
penquis ... can you expand on peppers please :)
5:16 pm
Judi
A type of chili pepper, Norma.
5:16 pm
MollyL
Pen, remember, hot pepper clues generally fail with people across the pond.
5:16 pm
penquis
sounds spanish....
5:17 pm
Judi
Ruru is well hung in the personality department.
5:17 pm
Norma
I dont think we have other names for peppers in the UK
5:18 pm
Norma
Thanks Molly I am across the pond lol xx
5:18 pm
Judi
Now if that clue was about a potato, Norman would be all over it.
5:19 pm
Judi
Norma! Sorry. I have a cat named "Norman".
5:20 pm
Norma
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
5:21 pm
Judi
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.
5:21 pm
penquis
judi....most of the word for chores, daily things you have to do like go to the store....
5:22 pm
penquis
ends with picnic pest...
5:24 pm
MollyL
Wow Judi. You two have certainly been through job stress this year. That sucks.
5:24 pm
Judi
Sorry. This is really the only safe place I can bitch about job stuff.
5:26 pm
MollyL
Good Lord Judi. No need to worry about bitching here. This is Bitch Central.
5:28 pm
Judi
*adjusts crown* Bitch Queen for a Day!
5:30 pm
Judi
Off to go celebrate the totally fictional Cinco de Mayo. Then again, any excuse to drink tequila is okay by me.
5:31 pm
penquis
bye judi...have fun...
5:32 pm
MollyL
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.
5:34 pm
penquis
yes, very nice!
5:35 pm
penquis
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)
5:37 pm
penquis
i am done...
5:42 pm
rururocks
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
5:52 pm
penquis
i am heading out....goodnight, ru, molly....*waving to the lurkers*....
6:00 pm
MollyL
And the sickos (of which there are many) will buy that issue of Sports Illustrated and keep this kind of media splash alive.
6:08 pm
rururocks
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
6:20 pm
MollyL
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.
6:20 pm
rururocks
I kind of wondered that too.
6:27 pm
MollyL
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.
6:56 pm
MollyL
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.

Good morning from Downunder. Back to find my last 15 words.

JenMO16
hi Lizlin
7:03 pm
JenMO16
I am just getting started and this grid is crazy!
7:04 pm
Lizlin
There are certainly some unusual words in it!
7:06 pm
Lizlin
Very happy to have Lickety but also thanks to those who listed early on yesterday.
7:06 pm
JenMO16
Just might have to do that
7:09 pm
Lizlin
It's helped me - especially to find words, which either I thought I'd entered or thought weren
7:09 pm
Lizlin
weren't in the grid.
7:10 pm
JenMO16
I like to find the most words on my own first, then go to more words, then lickety
7:11 pm
Lizlin
I also do that. I got down to somewhere in the 20s before I used a list.
7:13 pm
Lizlin
Fireworks. Last word the 5/10 - I was sure it wasn't in the grid. I really should learn to try everything!
7:13 pm
Lizlin
Any clues before I go?
7:14 pm
JenMO16
bye lizlin
7:15 pm
Lizlin
Have a good evening.
7:22 pm
MollyL
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.
7:44 pm
JenMO16
NBT finally
8:35 pm
rururocks
I'm back now.. yes.. nice to talk about stuff going on in the world. I agree
