â€œMy dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but itâ€™s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yoursâ€

2:16 am

dcseain

ah, moonlight sonata is playing. i performed that many times, as i type, i feel myself playing it in my mind. such a calming piece to play.

2:17 am

dcseain

a lot of piano music in this sleep playlist. I cannot sleep to piano.

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

one of my top 5 favorites... my mother used to play it on the piano when I was a child... incredibly beautiful and comforting...

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

why? because you play the notes in your head?

2:18 am

dcseain

yep. I studied piano formally from 8 to 22, and still play.

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

wonderful! similar to our daughter... she studied from 5 to 18

2:19 am

dcseain

i don't have that reaction to orchestral music -- well most of it -- despite playing violin since 9, including 15 years in orchestras.

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

did you have a preference? violin or piano?

2:19 am

dcseain

a few orchestral pieces -- The Planets, The Fingalls Cave Overture, the Theme from Pink Panther -- also prevent sleep.

2:20 am

dcseain

viola actually. I still play violin. But i spent 4 years on viola and loved it.

2:20 am

dcseain

eventually, i'll live with a piano again and play again.

2:20 am

dcseain

i'm way out of practice on piano.

2:20 am

dcseain

but i have my violin.

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

lovely, dc; our daughter, too, since she married. She needs to come here to play / practice... I think I need to make that happen in 2016.

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

Love violin, too.

2:21 am

dcseain

the physical act of playing the instruments is important to me. That they make nice noise is a pleasant side effect. :)

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

:) makes me smile

2:22 am

dcseain

i have a long history of sleeping to harp, trance, and a subset of techno, oddly. A lot of Brian Eno.

2:22 am

dcseain

i wanted to learn piano because i was entranced by the motion of the keys sitting behind the music teacher in lemenary school.

2:23 am

dcseain

i was sad to discover that playing one could not see the motion of the keys.

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

Lindz used to go to sleep to classical music.. just not Rachmaninov (sp?); loved Beethoven, Mozart...

2:23 am

dcseain

but came to grok that in playing piano, one BECOMES the motion of the keys was almost as good.

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

I love watching the motion of the keys on a piano, but never thot about the pianist's view

2:24 am

dcseain

Shostakovich is also not good for sleeping.

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

beautifully said, dc!

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

fa 7 x 2

2:24 am

dcseain

it took me a full year to come to terms with continuing to learn despite not seeing the motion of the keys.

2:25 am

dcseain

my parents were shocked and confused when i asked to learn piano.

2:25 am

dcseain

upside, when i wanted to add violin the next year, that was easy. :)

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

really interesting

2:26 am

dcseain

well, from their POV, my request came out of nowhere. Even explaining to them why, they didn't get it.

2:26 am

dcseain

i practiced at a neighbor's for 6mos, then my dad bought me a modern upright.

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

had to prove yourself first?

2:27 am

VolleymomDee

pretty big expense, so I understand their hesitancy

2:28 am

dcseain

i don't know what the piano cost. I know they bought the violin for $500 in 1980. I had the instrument rebuilt in 2003. It sound great, but still wants goldstahl E strings.

2:29 am

dcseain

FÃ¼r Elise now. Another one i love playing.

2:29 am

dcseain

a lovely assortment of classical. Not good for sleeping for me this mix. Spotify does better slepp mixes than Amazon.

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

in my top 10 faves, too :)

2:30 am

VolleymomDee

spotify is unfamiliar to me

2:31 am

dcseain

Spotify is a music site. It's social, and has a nice assortment of playlist, and users can make playlists.

2:31 am

dcseain

right now i'm listening on Amazon Music

2:32 am

dcseain

I'll gave to make my own sleep list there apparently.

2:32 am

VolleymomDee

I have only used pandora, so far, on our TV

2:33 am

dcseain

i don't care for Pandora. I use Last.FM I can't put my finger on what i don't like about Pandora, but i tried at and meh.

2:33 am

Kamanjah

I was busy looking for the f7 and came back to chat...and found another viola player!!! I started on violin in 4th grade, and in 7th, discovered a viola in the instrument closet at school and took it to my next violin lesson

2:34 am

VolleymomDee

en 7/36

2:34 am

dcseain

i switche to viola in 9th grade when i made only 3rd chair 1st violin. I found i liked the instrument and the people in the viola section better.

2:34 am

Kamanjah

Turned out my teacher was primarily a violist. I played for years, then many years off, and picked it up again and played in a couple of local symphonies until I had foot surgery that required me to keep my foot elevated for 8 months...I need to pick it up again, it's only been a year.

2:34 am

dcseain

nice!

2:34 am

Kamanjah

My best friend was always 1st chair violin!

2:35 am

dcseain

i hope your foot is healing well

2:35 am

dcseain

i really would love to get a string quartet together again.

2:35 am

Kamanjah

I can't go to sleep to classical music, I get too involved.

2:35 am

VolleymomDee

en 7 x 2

2:35 am

had one, but then the cellist died -- that was 15 years ago.

2:36 am

grannyrose

whew!!! and i am done.... lol...what an amazing grid. cooee and g'day from me

2:36 am

dcseain

yaeh, i'm finding that in spades with this playlist. Nice selection, but too much that i've performed.

2:36 am

dcseain

yay rose! May you have awonderful monday

2:36 am

VolleymomDee

wow, rose, fantastic!! Still 59 to go, so going to list now!

2:36 am

Kamanjah

Bummer. I haven't played in a quartet since college. But I did play in a small string ensemble at the junior college in the nearest town for a few years.

2:36 am

grannyrose

*giggle* thanx seain

2:37 am

Kamanjah

Congrats Rose! Have a great day...I'm getting ready to head to bed with a book soon...

2:37 am

2:37 am

dcseain

2:37 am

Kamanjah

Yep. You ARE up late!

2:37 am

VolleymomDee

Love your icon, Kaman. Great pic!

2:38 am

VolleymomDee

1st 250 went pretty quickly; then really slowed.

2:38 am

Kamanjah

Thanks! And Kamanjah is an Arabic word for violin.

2:38 am

dcseain

my sleep schedule is totally fubarred.

2:39 am

Kamanjah

I can relate, so is mine, I woke up with busy brain at 7:30 this AM, usually sleep at least till 10

2:40 am

dcseain

kmn is the root?

2:44 am

Kamanjah

I know nothing about the Arabic language, I just was looking for a unique Middle Eastern name to use for belly dance and came up with it - if that's what you were asking. It was in some wiki article, buried in archaic words.

2:47 am

dcseain

gotcha, and yes that's what i was asking :)

Had mixed reviews - "Joy"

4:36 am

sprite

good cast, I see

4:36 am

Lizlin

That's what we thought - not always a guarantee though of a good movie.

4:37 am

sprite

true. imdb gives a 6.7 out of 10. Worth watching, even though not great.

4:38 am

Lizlin

Going to a good place for coffee or hot choccy after and the socialising is always a good laugh.

4:38 am

7:17 am

7:18 am

Yes sad about David Bowie :-(

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

very sad :-(

7:18 am

Anniebrook

He was sitting in front of me at a Broadway show. He was very gracious and beautiful.

7:19 am

Uneaixoise

aawww, annie . . .

7:19 am

Anniebrook

Yes, very sad.

7:19 am

TheByzantine

his new album was released on january 8th

7:20 am

Anniebrook

The show was Angels in America. Long time ago.

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

7:20 am

aebmusica

I loved his movie ,"The man who fell to the earth".

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

Angels in America -- so fantastic . . .

7:20 am

Uneaixoise

7:24 am

zoozzoom

It sure is.

7:30 am

zoozzoom

Une I wonder if the little boy George on the video request ever found out what David Bowie was going to ask him lol

7:31 am

Uneaixoise

I was just thinking how cool it is that, for the rest of his life, he can go online and relive that phone call :-)

7:31 am

ivesy3

ty annie! and molly its a big change

7:32 am

Anniebrook

I bet you can breathe better now

7:32 am

zoozzoom

Very true, Une!

7:32 am

Scrabbler

Is your son getting help now, ivesy?

7:33 am

ivesy3

i never relax becuz we have done this bfor.yes scrab . he lives near the veterns hosp. so he goes for counseling

7:34 am

Scrabbler

Asking for help is a big step.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

ives, Has he been to AA or NA?

7:35 am

zoozzoom

Having a full time job now, Ivesy, should help a lot too.

7:35 am

MimiCat

My fav Bowie song is the theme to "Cat People" -- Putting Out Fires with Gasoline." LOVE it.

7:35 am

ivesy3

well he cant fool them like some of the others who hve tried to help...they seem to have found the right meds for his depression too.

7:37 am

MimiCat

Good for him, ivesy. Hope this "takes." I've been addiction free for 9 years now and was unusual but lucky to have never relapsed. I can be done but one must have strong motivation.

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Exercise, vitamin D 5000 units per day--these are essential now too

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Changing habits is so difficult.

7:38 am

MimiCat

It can be done --I sounded a bit "loose" there for a minut!

7:38 am

ivesy3

congratulations mimi!

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Excellent, Mimi!

7:38 am

MimiCat

minute...cannot type today!

7:38 am

zoozzoom

So glad it worked for you, Mimi!

7:39 am

Anniebrook

good going, mimi

7:39 am

ivesy3

if he can keep job he wont have time to think about drugs..and there is random drug testting too

7:40 am

Scrabbler

He needs to love and respect himself enough to not use drugs anymore.

7:40 am

MimiCat

I unfortunately had to do it cold turkey and alone with no rehab, counseling or anything, but at least it got done, though I would not recommend doing it that way. I just had no choice.

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

wow, mimi -- that's impressive . . .

7:41 am

MimiCat

Thanks, Une. I have found that one does what one must do most of the time.

7:42 am

zoozzoom

((Mimi)) you are a strong willed lady!

7:43 am

MimiCat

Scrab, you hit it on the head there...I think the real underlying cause of these things is a serious lack of self-esteem which is why there is so much recurrence. It's hard to develop that especially during or after this type of crisis.

7:43 am

MimiCat

((zooz)) ty.

7:45 am

MimiCat

Mine started due to back pain issues but was then amplified by emotional ones. I'm lucky that deep down I did have love for myself that got me through, thanks to my wonderful parents.

7:45 am

zoozzoom

Phantom : parasol.

7:45 am

ivesy3

and that scrab is his whole problem doesnt thnk much of himself..getting hired will help

7:46 am

ivesy3

i will be in withdrawal soon as the dr wants me to get off the patch that keeps me from getting dizzy.

7:46 am

Scrabbler

It is more than "self-esteem". It is self-love. It is self-compassion.

7:47 am

MimiCat

Ivesy, will hold him in my prayers. I am here as a resource if needed at any time.

7:47 am

TheByzantine

this article is long but informative ... I see myself in paragraph after paragraph ... after decades of treatment I am told you may have to accept you will never get better.

I found 90 and now must get ready to shop for my mother and visit with her. The snow is falling heavily.

7:48 am

ivesy3

thank you all . will keep you posted. :)

7:48 am

MimiCat

Oh, no, ivesy! You can do it, though. Be as good to yourself as possible during that time---favorite foods, lots of hydration, favorite book, etc.

7:49 am

ivesy3

its scary but have to see if i still get dizzy after the patch is removed

7:49 am

Scrabbler

TY for sharing that, Byz. I have saved it but skimmed it briefly. It looks fascinating.

Fingers crossed for your boy, Ivesy. To quote Neil Young ....I've seen the needle and the damage done.....

8:34 am

rubyfoo

Does his procedure hurt or is it just Noisy and scary?

8:34 am

Anniebrook

Oh dear, you have a full plate. Please put the letter on the back burner.

8:35 am

Anniebrook

He will be out for the procedure but will be very sore after.

8:20 pm

Jacula

I haven't got all the 't' words yet, penquis - but it's probably the word for the band that separates things in a frieze.

8:20 pm

jmcnrick

i may do them anyway . . .

8:25 pm

HarryHood

bananas?

8:25 pm

Jacula

Got all the p words!

8:25 pm

wht

that is a major accomplishment, jac

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

the bananas we eat in the US almost all come from one plant type plantations and there is a discease that is destroying them all . . .

8:26 pm

HarryHood

oh dear - where will we get our potassium?

8:26 pm

jmcnrick

ironically these bananas were planted because the last kind of banana trees on plantations all died from a fungus. . . .

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

apples and potatoes and tomatoes harry

8:27 pm

origami

Oh no. Love bananas. One of the dangers of monocropping.

8:27 pm

jmcnrick

happily for the Tanzanians where bananas are their food staple they plant several types of bananas. . .

8:28 pm

wht

There are lots of different kinds of bananas. Some of them just don't ship as well as the Cavendish bananas.

8:28 pm

jmcnrick

I am sure the banana corporations will come up with a new one to grow and ship. . .

8:28 pm

wht

It was a while after I returned from Kenya before I could eat a banana. I kept wondering where the flavor went.

8:29 pm

jmcnrick

yes. . . i agree. . . bananas in east africa are much more tasty. . .

8:29 pm

Jacula

what - same coming from Spain or Porugal re citrus fruits.

8:30 pm

Or pineapples after being in Hawaii

8:30 pm

jmcnrick

or barbecue after being in Texas! ;D

8:30 pm

wvteach

go to Snopes - site on web that analyzes rumors - the rumor of extinction of bananas is a unfounded rumor according to their report - it was first reported in 2003 that bananas had 10 more years - not true

8:30 pm

Jacula

Everything is best picked and eaten fresh.

8:30 pm

origami

I can grow my own citrus where I live (mostly) and it is amazing ... so different from the grocers.

8:30 pm

or Chiquita

8:31 pm

8:31 pm

origami

Ha jmc ... it is true about bbq

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm wvteach it was reported by cnn, bloomberg and abc. . . i think i read it in the nyt and now looking at snopes it appears that there is some foundation with TR$. . .

8:33 pm

jmcnrick

but i should have looked at snopes before. . . .

8:34 pm

jmcnrick

TR4. . .

8:34 pm

8:43 pm

8:44 pm

Dorens

The Play!! or should i say The Musical

yikes

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

wtg wht

8:45 pm

Dorens

oh no. those things happen far too often, we just don't usually hear about them unless someone is killed.

8:45 pm

Trifioso

you have to understand, we live in PODUNK - Sherriff Andy, Barney and Floyd were no doubt shitting themselves

8:45 pm

jmcnrick

(to be clear the OMG was about the crazy guy)

8:46 pm

Dorens

figgered as much, j

8:46 pm

wht

Glad to know everything is all right with car. It sounded rather dramatic.

8:46 pm

Trifioso

the cops around here are super, super nice, but just are not called on for this sort of thing - ever. the odd kid here or there, car accidents, and maybe one fire a year is about the height of our crimes

8:46 pm

Trifioso

odd kid smoking pot, that was supposed to say...

8:47 pm

jmcnrick

no meth labs?

8:47 pm

cybernan

dorens - did car say any more about what was happening with the emergency squads and swat teams?

8:47 pm

origami

do you guys live in Disneyland? :D

8:47 pm

Trifioso

that is what I am talking about, cybernan

8:47 pm

Trifioso

I have no idea where the swat teams even came from! boston, I guess?

8:48 pm

Trifioso

my valentine says we live in normal Rockwell land

8:48 pm

Uneaixoise

jeez -- I live in the land of meth labs -- both mobile and immobile

8:48 pm

Are there vacancies?

8:48 pm

Trifioso

plenty! come on down!

8:48 pm

Dorens

8:49 pm

Uneaixoise

8:49 pm

my boy lived near a trailer blow up as a meth lab in ruralish NC. . . i was happy when he came back to DC. . .

8:49 pm

Trifioso

ugh, jmc I can understand!

8:49 pm

cybernan

ok - ty trif - was wondering what had happened - glad eveyrone is ok

8:49 pm

origami

I grew up in the bay area and live in sacramento now. It is like that all the time. Ugh, I want to move.

8:49 pm

Trifioso

the only things that blow up here are lawn fires that people put too much accelerant on

8:50 pm

Dorens

don't move to LA, origami. worse there.

8:50 pm

origami

I imagine so dorens. although, the weather ....

8:50 pm

HarryHood

what is a "lawn fire" ?

8:50 pm

Uneaixoise

also wondering, harry LOL

8:50 pm

Dorens

forget the weather. LA is so full of crazies anyway

8:50 pm

HarryHood

is that a combination of a lawn sale and a fire sale?

8:51 pm

origami

I'm with Harry, who sets fire to their lawn?

8:51 pm

jmcnrick

its when your lawn catches on fire when you burn the trash in the back yard. . .

8:51 pm

Uneaixoise

ooohhh

8:51 pm

HarryHood

oy.

8:51 pm

Dorens

or overdose your charcoal with lighter fluid

8:51 pm

Trifioso

there you go - JMC nailed it

8:51 pm

origami

People burn trash still?

8:51 pm

HarryHood

I thought it was a slash and burn thing

8:52 pm

jmcnrick

my daddy did in houston until a neighbor called the fire department on him in the late '60s

8:52 pm

Trifioso

not trash so much as brush and branches and such, but since I live way out in the woods I toss whatever on there - Christmas tree, old chairs, dining room table....

8:52 pm

HarryHood

leftover tnt

8:52 pm

Uneaixoise

my Colombian nextdoor neighbors made me very nervous this fall when they had bonfires in their backyard which was full of dry leaves!

8:52 pm

origami

notices from the IRS

8:53 pm

Trifioso

its very economical! big pile of briars turns into helpful ash for next years garden

8:53 pm

jmcnrick

that's clearly a waste of tnt. . .

8:53 pm

Trifioso

correspondence from ex husband....

8:53 pm

origami

body parts of ex husbands

8:54 pm

Dorens

I remember when we used to burn the leaves in the street. Loved the smell, but it's been long illegal now.

8:54 pm

HarryHood

ouch

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

hey!

8:54 pm

Trifioso

its become a bit of a ritual - every year we put the old Christmas tree out there, and primo shoots a flaming arrow into it. it's good fun!

8:54 pm

Uneaixoise

illegal here too, dorens!

8:54 pm

wht

My grandfather was clearing brush and the fire got away from him. He had a bucket of water, but by the time he realized that the fire was getting out of control, the handle on the bucket was too hot to pick up.

8:54 pm

origami

That's what I call good clean fun trif!

8:54 pm

wht

But that was in the 50's

8:54 pm

jmcnrick

I cut mine up and use the branches to protect the azaleas from freezing. . .

8:54 pm

Dorens

illegal everywhere... in the US. since back around the EPA became more powerful. pollution. global warming?

8:55 pm

Dorens

mine gets turned into mulch by the town.

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

. . . yes but it also was in a very urban area wht. . . out in the country in texas people still do it. . . except during droughts. . . .

8:55 pm

HarryHood

when I was a kid the neighbors were burning a pile of leaves, and it had poison ivy in it. His kids inhaled it and nearly died when their throats constricted.

8:55 pm

origami

We have yard waste pick up here also.

8:55 pm

wht

I was about 4 or 5. My parents told me to stay inside. I never even looked out. Firetrucks in the back yard and I missed the whole thing.

8:55 pm

Uneaixoise

in TN too, jmc

8:55 pm

Dorens

oh my. that's the sort of thing you wouldn't forget, HH

8:56 pm

Uneaixoise

yes, thank goodness for brush pickup

8:56 pm

Trifioso

well us swamp Yankees happily burn it.

8:56 pm

Uneaixoise

harry, poison ivy is sooo scary!

8:56 pm

Trifioso

brush pickup, the very idea! the selectpeople would die laughing

8:56 pm

Uneaixoise

rhododendron smoke is toxic as well

8:57 pm

HarryHood

I throw the leaves up a rocky hill in the back - trying to build up the soil coverage. The rest I use for my compost heap

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

my brother had the job of burning the trash and he decided to speed it up and poured gasoline on the burning pile. . .the fire traveled up the fluid into the can and blew up in his hand. . .singed his eyebrows and eyelashes right offf. . . .

8:57 pm

origami

One of my son's friends lives with me (a grown up man in his 30's). I had a stump to get rid of in the back yard and he thought it would be a good idea to set it on fire. I was asleep. The fire department showed up with sirens blaring at 2 am. geesh

8:58 pm

HarryHood

hol ycow jmc

8:58 pm

Uneaixoise

i do leave enough brush in the back for the bunnies to shelter :-)

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

my leafs i pile around the base of the ro**s and then let them rot. . .

8:58 pm

Trifioso

oh geesh origami. it actually is a good idea, though....you do have to watch it like a hawk

8:58 pm

origami

OMMG jmc!

8:58 pm

wht

My son still wishes we would have gotten a flame thrower for clearing the driveway of snow.

8:59 pm

Trifioso

we say that every year, wht

8:59 pm

jmcnrick

haha i am glad you protect your bunnies. . . if i wasn't in a city i would have bunny stew this summer. . . rabbits EVERYWHERE eating my garden. . . .

8:59 pm

origami

The flame thrower sounds like a good idea to me

8:59 pm

wht

I keep telling him that asphalt is flamable, but it never seems to make an impression.

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

the asphalt doesn't dip down after the fire?

9:00 pm

origami

jmc, my grandmother use to fence off her garden and plant one on the outside of the fence for the rabbits. she swore it worked

9:00 pm

Trifioso

it really is something that no one has been able to come up with some sort of heated snow blower, or driveway Zamboni, or SOMETHING

9:00 pm

wht

That was the reason for never getting the flame thrower.

9:00 pm

jmcnrick

i'm afraid the park service wouldn't allow that origami. . .

9:01 pm

wht

A driveway zamboni. just what i need. smooth ice on my driveway.

9:01 pm

Trifioso

I'm off to Bedfordshire.

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

bye trif. . . .

9:01 pm

Trifioso

not ice, wht, but something to melt all the snow and ice and make it go away

9:01 pm

origami

I think a heated snow removal system will be my future invention. I will remember you all when I am rolling in money

9:01 pm

jmcnrick

i do tax work origami. . . when you get rich. . . ;)

9:02 pm

jmcnrick

just make sure it doesn't pollute. . .

9:02 pm

wht

They do have heated coils for driveways, but I imagine the electric bill must be pretty steep if you turn them on.

9:02 pm

origami

I will call you jmc

9:02 pm

it beats not being able to get to your house at all wht. . .

9:03 pm

9:04 pm

I believe some places now have solar-powered paths that keep themselves clear of snow and ice. Probably not available to individuals, though.

9:05 pm

wht

wtg jac

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

cool gillie. . . but i am not sure that would work for my sister as her driveway in on the north side of the hill. . . thus lots of snow and ice not melting!

9:06 pm

jmcnrick

i will definitely explore that possibility though. . . .

9:08 pm

well i am as done as i am going to get tonight. . . fun conversation and champagne not withstanding. . .
