None of which anyone but maybe you, Arky, have ever heard.
I've no idea what i3b3 listens to, but I think we're within 10 years of each other (he being the younger).
It's one of the things I miss most about living close to my brother - sharing our latest musical finds. Sure, we text and call, but it's not the same thing as sitting in the car with the radio cranked right up to the threshold of pain and immersing yourself with another person in an audio-experience.
We grew up doing this with our dad, and if I lived closer to him we'd share too. His tastes are a little more traditional, but he'll give anything a try. As far as he's concerned, good music is good music regardless of genre.
Plus he's got a 9yo son who'll keep him up-to-date. 28781. arkymalarky - 11/23/2015 9:16:02 PM I know some of it...I need to borrow it so I can get off my ass and clean my house. Have been using Pandora almost exclusively since I changed phones, but I want to get my music organized and get back into it. Everything is just so crazy out of control at the moment. I'm hoping to change that over Thanksgiving and Christmas. 28782. Ms. No - 11/24/2015 4:27:45 AM A bunch of those can be listened to for free if you have Amazon Prime. That's still the best $99 I spend every year. 28783. Ms. No - 11/24/2015 4:28:48 AM I need to find a service to digitize my CD collection so that I can get rid of the physical disks. I could do it myself, but it takes too damn long. 28784. arkymalarky - 11/24/2015 5:23:04 AM I have prime, but our rural jackrabbit satellite Internet keeps me from enjoying those aspects. If we ever get too feeble and head for civilization...I don't even dream of it coming to us anymore. 28785. arkymalarky - 11/24/2015 5:28:09 AM We still have LPs we envision putting on CDs and then digitizing those. We even have a turntable that can put them straight from LP to iPhone that we never used. No more likely to happen than any other stuff we imagine doing in retirement. Except I am going to be a glamper. Have a little pos trailer and I'm stripping it out over Thanksgiving. 28786. Ms. No - 11/24/2015 5:49:58 AM I could so get down with glamping! 28787. arkymalarky - 11/24/2015 5:56:37 AM Oooooh! My timeline is a year and a half, but I'll text you pictures whenever we do something with what we got. 28788. judithathome - 11/26/2015 8:32:44 AM Happy Thanksgiving to all of y'all...hope your turkeys are juicy and your cranberry sauce is jellied! 28789. arkymalarky - 11/26/2015 8:14:09 PM Yes yes! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 28790. judithathome - 11/27/2015 8:55:16 PM Some idiot made cranberry sauce with....jalapeņos. 28791. wabbit - 11/28/2015 3:39:02 PM Had a very nice Thanksgiving this year. Missed Mom, of course, but the food was very good and we were thinking about her throughout.
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are enjoying the weekend. 28792. arkymalarky - 11/28/2015 5:21:19 PM I've been wondering about you wabbit, and planning to email, but figuring you had your hands full with the holiday season. So glad you all had a good one. 28793. arkymalarky - 12/20/2015 4:37:32 PM Mose and sil went to see the new Star Wars, said it was awesome, but she was very upset about the man at the concession stand who had come in on a hoverboard and was carrying a gun. Openly. This is getting insane. Stan and I are going Tuesday, hopefully with fewer nutjobs in attendance. Maybe they all went opening weekend. 28794. thoughtful - 12/21/2015 4:21:22 PM Just stopped in to wish everyone a happy winter solstice. Here comes the sun!
 28795. arkymalarky - 12/21/2015 6:12:13 PM Love it! You too! Hope all is going well. It's been a while since we've heard from you! 28796. thoughtful - 12/22/2015 4:29:56 AM Yeah things are going well now. Had my gall bladder out...how exciting is that!
I've also been taking classes in mindfulness...it's been very healing and empowering.
I've also been volunteering with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
I'm expecting 16-18 for xmas dinner with some get togethers before and after too. So life is good.
Hope all is going well with everyone here. 28797. ms. no - 12/23/2015 6:04:24 AM I have a mini mindfullness coloring book. That and Zentangle are as close as I get to meditation currently. Thanksgiving last year my whole family sat and colored together for hours. I'm excited for the fad since it means there are a ton of great adult coloring books.
I've done some semi-mindful creative writes with my students to focus them and get them to be more descriptive in their writing. They do pretty well, but I'm not sure if it necessarily translates to their other writing, but I think it will the more we do it. 28798. judithathome - 12/24/2015 10:28:19 PM Merry Christmas and Happy New Year....!!
