hitting the hay. It's been a hard week. My best friend from music school passed away. We go back 48 years. I was glad I got to see her in January. That and my son is in the hospital. Mental health. He will be OK, and I am grateful he is in his preferred hospital, where they don't over-medicate. SOme places, it is just"diagnose, dose, and adios."

hokie carla

my address is my name and last summer I kept getting emails from a loan company for someone else with my name. I told them I was the wrong one and they said, "your husband gave us this address". kinda funny because they had docs attached with his and her SSNs. luckily I'm an honest person.

hokie carla

I agree with you, bea. my friend's mom is about to be 72 and she still goes. I think it's crazy. my husband was skiing once and there was a club there of women like 70+. he said one lady he was on the lift with was 80.

12:02 pm

MLFAN17

some people are just stupid no matter the age

12:02 pm

hokie carla

I'm 46 and think I'm too old for skiing. :D

12:02 pm

I do mountain biking, which can be crazy, but I live by "when in doubt, chicken out"

12:05 pm

clg47

I have several friends around 70 who still ski & bike. I am happy for them and know they are having a great time. I have another friend in the same age range that still climbs the steps in the Seattle Space Needle every year as a fund raiser. Good for these people they are enjoying life!

12:06 pm

MLFAN17

climbing steps in the space needle??

12:06 pm

MLFAN17

my mom plays golf and walks a lot of places

12:06 pm

clg47

12:07 pm

MLFAN17

climbing multiple steps like that is nuts!

12:07 pm

MLFAN17

unless you have to

12:08 pm

BzznBea

I'm just not coordinated enough to do many activities. I love to walk and try to get in 30 minutes a day. I also like a stationary bike. =) And I do a lot of yoga.

12:09 pm

bichon

Love walking in the woods with my pooch

12:09 pm

MLFAN17

my mom used to walk the mall but she doesn't live there anymore. she and her b/f walk on the beach sometimes

12:09 pm

clg47

Yoga is good my walking buddies also do yoga. We live in a moderate hilly area and walking for an hour might mean 16 to 26 flights of stairs depending on the walk.

12:11 pm

MLFAN17

do you do both?

12:12 pm

BzznBea

Amy exercise for the long bones is good at our age.

1:07 pm

cybernan

ty carla

1:07 pm

hokie carla

yes, first one of those is volcano related, next two are explicitly shown in the chat. not sure what they mean

1:07 pm

hokie carla

one rhymes with south african nelson

1:09 pm

hokie carla

one is a compound word - two words you don't want together because of possible botulism

1:10 pm

NatashaW

the last ca7 refers to white-hot heat

1:10 pm

cybernan

it is the compound I'm looking for now

1:10 pm

hokie carla

oh, I can see that now

1:10 pm

hokie carla

found the cl6 I was looking for

1:11 pm

hokie carla

so technically not a compound word but just looks like one :D

1:11 pm

cybernan

not seeing it

1:12 pm

hokie carla

something in your pantry that has food in it + what happens if your car is hit

1:12 pm

1:16 pm

periwinkle

hokie carla

yeah, I figured that with your latin pl clue, just can't get all the letter combo right

1:16 pm

periwinkle

looking for the ta8 without success

1:16 pm

hokie carla

ta8 is a compound word, like a flume in mining. dog wags his * + run a *

1:17 pm

periwinkle

ty new word for me

1:17 pm

periwinkle

tough grid for me

1:17 pm

hokie carla

definitely a tough one today

1:20 pm

hokie carla

looked up the de - I kept trying to spell like that because I remembered there was a coin we've had before. when you said double vowel, natasha, I wasn't thinking it was the same vowel. duh. my bad.

1:21 pm

NatashaW

glad you found it! I'm still working on those an words

1:22 pm

hokie carla

1:38 pm

Haz1558
