zoozzoom

Happy babbling everyone!

4:23 am

rubyfoo

((zzoozz)) l don't feel so strong at the moment!

4:28 am

MollyL

And that is okay, Ruby. We all feel vulnerable at times. That is when you lean on your friends and your faith to carry you through.

4:29 am

MollyL

And let me just say that whoever said "God never gives you more than you can handle" is a big, fat liar.

Hi bich.

7:28 am

doseffing

7:29 am

I still have to get to the store. Was going to buy gift cards to mail. People might get digital gifts instead.

7:29 am

Scrabbler

It is really cold here too. 14F.

7:29 am

bichon

It's 12 here, go figure

7:29 am

sukee

-11 C

7:30 am

rubyfoo

l think it was smart, not phobic. You can' risk alling

7:30 am

sukee

Hey, I got myself a Google Home mini...it is such fun.

7:30 am

Scrabbler

I might skip cross-country skiing today and just go to the YMCA.

7:30 am

bichon

I just bought an Amazon Alexa

7:30 am

sukee

And...my mailbox got broken into and I lost a cable I had ordered for my ipad. $15...gone...

7:31 am

Scrabbler

And I just talk to myself.

7:31 am

rubyfoo

l was so far down in the dumps yesterday, that l forced myself to get on the bike. lt helped!

7:31 am

sukee

I love how I can ask it to play music from the other side of the room. I have it in the bedroom. Works as an alarm, plays podcasts, I can get the news before I get up...etc.

7:31 am

sukee

Lol scrabs.

7:31 am

Scrabbler

Boo, sukee. Yay, Ruby.

7:32 am

sukee

I emailed Best Buy, thought they would take pity and send me another one :D I know, the eternal optimist. They said to call the police.

7:32 am

bichon

Let's hear it for mood raisers that are not pills

7:32 am

rubyfoo

You are all so tech-savvy; l'm a dinosaur!

7:32 am

72 Temple Owl

i have just canccelled my trip into town. the timing of snow will make it hellish to travel on a friday via public transit

7:33 am

sukee

I will be exercising on my pedal exerciser later.

7:33 am

Scrabbler

Our snowstorm starts at 7pm and continues til tomorrow 1pm. Another 7 inches coming.

7:33 am

rubyfoo

My haircutter is coming at 3 as her last haircut grew out funny

7:33 am

sukee

We are expecting a storm today, but it might miss us. I may try to get out to the store tomorrow.

7:34 am

rubyfoo

l try not to go out at all

7:34 am

sukee

But, it is warming up at least :)

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

untreated parking lots are a real hazard for me. it is a long long walk from train to car

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Yes, they are, Owl.

7:34 am

sukee

I am so glad I don't have to take public transport, I use a service that picks me up at the door. Which makes not going out today seem sillier.

7:34 am

72 Temple Owl

and must run errand planned for the afternoon and evening in the AM instead

7:36 am

sukee

Does anyone have a clue for th 6/27?

7:36 am

rubyfoo

The mantra is "Don't fall, don't fall!"

7:36 am

sukee

Exactly ruby

7:36 am

72 Temple Owl

don't i know it! having had tow bad ones nearly back to back, i know prevention is the best course.

7:37 am

sukee

Monkeyed it

7:37 am

rubyfoo

One fall could be the end!

7:37 am

sukee

No one told me getting old would be like this...

7:38 am

72 Temple Owl

phantom: anther

7:38 am

rubyfoo

At least when l was younger, most falls were on dance floors

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Stretch, move a lot, exercise...all so helpful as we age.

7:38 am

72 Temple Owl

falls are bad at any age, we are must more aware now

7:39 am

sukee

That is why I go to the gym 3 times a week...usually or exercise at home.

7:39 am

BzznBea

Balance exercises ae also important.

7:39 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Bea!

7:39 am

rubyfoo

This house is on 3 levels (builton a hillside) sothere are lots of stairs

7:39 am

sukee

My last fall was tripping over my walker :) Nothing major and it was indoors on a carpet.

7:39 am

sukee

And two men came to help me up :)

7:40 am

penquis

i have a senior exercise class today....i do two a week....it has helped with balance and flexibility.....

7:40 am

BzznBea

I use a power tooth brush with a thirty second cycle. I stand one one foot then the other through those cycles.

7:41 am

Scrabbler

I fell twice while exercising at the Y last week. I did a face plant while planking. Then I fell completely over when rotating over a double-grip ball. Lesson: strengthen my core.

7:41 am

rubyfoo

That sounds simple, ty for that, BZZ

7:41 am

72 Temple Owl

yikes! how long were you planking?

7:41 am

penquis

tai chi has also helped me with balance...

7:42 am

sukee

4 letter words done

7:42 am

TY, Doseffing!

7:43 am

sukee

Good for you scrabs

7:43 am

Scrabbler

Slam me with a Greek fish!

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

i had a boss at work who ran every day no matter the weather but his other muscles were not strong because that was all he did.

7:44 am

72 Temple Owl

i do yoga to help the core and balance. i still have issues with it.

7:45 am

72 Temple Owl

but the best is body flow. it combines yoga, tai chi and pilates. i love it

7:45 am

sukee

Okay, time for a break...16 left. Take care all.

7:45 am

sukee

Thanks for making me feel better about not going out :)

7:46 am

Scrabbler

Cross-training is crucial--cardio + strength + balance.

7:47 am

Scrabbler

Thanks for the reminder about balance, Bea, as I have had a bad concussion and an ankle fracture in the last 4 years. I greatly fear falls now.

7:47 am

Jandel

Is there an App for Babble? I love it but can't be on the site at work

7:48 am

BzznBea

Yes, broken ankle four years ago still gives me fits.

7:49 am

BzznBea

And dogs lying in dark rooms...got to watch out for those. =)

7:50 am

Scrabbler

Or rabbits running around me trying to get my attention.

7:50 am

BzznBea

tripped over him and face planted into the gentleman's chest in the bedroom. I still have a black eye from that and that was in Sept.

7:50 am

7:51 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bubba.

7:52 am

Scrabbler

Last night I returned to bed after peeing and Remy Rabbit was hiding in my blankets. He got scared and ran off. Silly boy.

7:53 am

BzznBea

What would we do with out our critters?

7:53 am

BzznBea

One of my granddaughter's name is Remy.

7:54 am

Scrabbler

My Remy is a mini-Rex rabbit and, as they were originally bred in France, I gave him a French name.

7:56 am

BzznBea

My Remy is short for Remyngton.

7:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I have seen that in 2 patients of mine.

7:57 am

BzznBea

Have you ever had a Nollie?

7:57 am

Scrabbler

No, do you have one?

7:57 am

BzznBea

I always have to ask about that one.

7:58 am

BzznBea

My grandson is Nollie Bob IV. Old family name.

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Interesting. We see many different names for kids, and the trends.

7:59 am

BzznBea

I'm sure...I some times shake my head at the names today.

8:00 am

BzznBea

Porter is another gandson. Then there is Billy and Ben. Good old fashioned names...=)

8:01 am

Scrabbler

Just yesterday I saw a newborn named Annieonna.

8:03 am

Scrabbler

We have a boy named Havok and a girl named Tyranny, so I joke that they will marry and have a child named Kaos.

8:04 am

mael

lol

8:06 am

Scrabbler

We have to laugh a lot to get through our long days.

8:08 am

BzznBea

I always ask myself, "Why?" Poor kids...

8:09 am

mael

I certainly feel that my daughter is a tyrant once in a while

8:09 am

Scrabbler

Yes, especially when names have apostrophes, have alternate meanings, or do not make sense phonically.

8:09 am

BzznBea

I had a student named Shitia...They called her Tia.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

I had a girl named Dak'toah. The mother pronounced it Dakota.

8:10 am

Scrabbler

Phew, Bea!

8:11 am

BzznBea

1:13 pm

Shirlockc

anyone around and need clues?

1:13 pm

moolingwa

I always need a clue

1:16 pm

moolingwa

have four 6 letter words remaining out of the 5 words I have left

1:17 pm

moolingwa

one down

1:17 pm

MLFAN17

mool I have found 4 of the 14 6 letter words

1:18 pm

moolingwa

well perhaps I can assist you then :)

1:19 pm

MLFAN17

you can assist me with the 85 words I have left to find if you would like?lol

1:20 pm

moolingwa

sure, they begin with a single letter, have some number of letters in between and you may or may not have heard of them before

1:20 pm

MLFAN17

the clue that mixi gave for the th 6 the way its clued isn't working?

1:21 pm

MLFAN17

mool you just describe babble lol

1:21 pm

moolingwa

don't have any th6 yet...let me look

1:21 pm

moolingwa

it's off the 4th column T, I can tell you that

1:21 pm

spellacked

sa6?

1:22 pm

moolingwa

have two sa6s

1:22 pm

Jen34

add the sometimes vowel to the middle of the th clue and you'll have it!

1:22 pm

moolingwa

first is parody

1:22 pm

spellacked

th6 is pretty obscure. Biblical "Your" plus the end of a horse

1:22 pm

Jen34

sa 6 x 3

1:22 pm

moolingwa

the second you might have heard of the term sa8 elegance...drop the last two letters

1:23 pm

MLFAN17

jen which vowel is it?

1:23 pm

Jen34

it's not always a vowel

1:23 pm

MollyL

There is only one sometimes vowel

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

jen I cant get the th word?

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

before the y

1:24 pm

Shirlockc

th6 is a weird one, th + sometimes vowel + 3/4 of your behind

1:24 pm

Jen34

what shirlock said :)

1:25 pm

MLFAN17

finally got it I was putting a vowel and then the y

1:27 pm

spellacked

it's the first sa6 I'm looking for, but I can't make any sense out of your clue for the second one, moolingwa

1:27 pm

moolingwa

the first sa6 I have is another name for parody

1:28 pm

Jen34

no, there's another one before that -- working on a clue

1:28 pm

MLFAN17

mool the elegance clue?

1:28 pm

moolingwa

the second one is sa + plural of a donut shape

1:28 pm

moolingwa

oh

1:28 pm

spellacked

I think I got the elegance

1:28 pm

moolingwa

cool

1:29 pm

spellacked

yeah donut one I got. It's the other two I need

1:29 pm

moolingwa

yes, the elegance clue is also the donut shape one

1:29 pm

moolingwa

got it

1:29 pm

Jen34

so, the definition is a humorous word for "tailor" -- that probably doesn't help much

1:29 pm

spellacked

then I can clue anyone else for S-V

1:29 pm

MLFAN17

donut shape?

1:29 pm

moolingwa

there's actually a name for a donut shape in geometry

1:29 pm

moolingwa

if you make it a plural, then you have the ending

1:31 pm

moolingwa

got the other sa6

1:32 pm

moolingwa

rhymes with the last name of a former US president, but with alternative spelling at the end

1:33 pm

spellacked

what about the first sa6?

1:33 pm

Jen34

everyone have a gd! *poof*

1:33 pm

moolingwa

that's the one I just clued spell

1:33 pm

spellacked

satoan

1:34 pm

moolingwa

1:34 pm

spellacked

nevermind that, typing in wrong field,not a word

1:34 pm

MLFAN17

if only that were one of them

1:34 pm

moolingwa

no, and I don't think satan was ever president, although Hugo Chavez did certainly imply that George W Bush was

1:35 pm

MLFAN17

I keep trying that word know it doesn't work

1:35 pm

Shirlockc

first sa6 is sa+consonant + god of thunder but drop the H

1:36 pm

spellacked

got it. zigged when I should have zagged, missed that there were two of one of the consonants

1:37 pm

moolingwa

1:37 pm

MLFAN17

1:37 pm

moolingwa

yes, that's the second one ML

moolingwa

roteus - what your coleus will turn into if you water it too much

1:39 pm

MLFAN17

1:40 pm

moolingwa

haresy - to talk ill of someone named harry

1:40 pm

moolingwa

the last one - the elegance/donut clue one...ends in a different vowel

1:40 pm

MLFAN17

1:41 pm

moolingwa
