Thanks, makes my day, knowing you guys really read what I comment on. Since we are a bit off today's topic, I might as well add this to the mix. How do you pronounce "ooooooooooooooooooooo"? Pronounce it as a single, elongated "oh" sound ([ˈoʊːː]), often starting with a lower pitch and rising or wavering depending on context. Exactly how you say it depends on what it's meant to convey: Realization / Surprise: Say it starting with a medium pitch that quickly raises to a higher pitch (like “Oh! I get it now!”). Pain / Disappointment: Make it a drawn-out, falling sigh (like “Ooooh, that’s gotta hurt”). Excitement: Let it waver upward in pitch (like a stadium crowd reacting to a near-miss). Oh, -

consequence - Word of the Day - Mon Jun 22, 2026

What’s in a name? The Spanish called the town Ojo Caliente de Las Palomas. The cowboys renamed it to Palomas Hot Springs then got lazy and changed the name to Hot Springs. Then in 1950 this little town got its big name as part of a publicity scheme to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ralph Edwards’ hugely successful Truth or Consequences game show on NBC radio. Edwards suggested that there might be a town in the United States that “liked and respected” the show so much that it would change its name to Truth or Consequences. Hot Springs took the bait and in 1950 officially changed its name to Truth or Consequences. -

Score: Drpaladin - 1 / sandrewn - 0. Well, that one took me completely by surprise(well done). Yet more proof, that it is indeed a small world! I spent several weekends in and around Jerusalem (1977-78). Went to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. I really believe that with all the time spent wandered over and throughout the old city, that I may have actually walked on, over or across steps that Jesus, himself had taken, over 2 millennia ago. -

Well, @ReaderPaul, I think @drpaladin was referring to a pilate exercise program. Still, it sounds too ambitious for me. I will pass the the 3/4 century mark in October. Now seeing as I have a variety of chairs, just gathering dust at home. I will just pick a comfortable one, sit down and begin, Chair Tai Chi for Seniors over 70. (RIP Richard Simmons) -
