I prefer to get my calm on naturally.

I see what you mean. Artificial "relaxing" sounds are extremely annoying. Wind chimes would be different though, I think... though I've never really experienced them, maybe they would annoy me too. My sister has a set, but they are so heavy that the only time they chime is just before a hurricane

Generally speaking, I dislike sensory overstimulation. I don't mind nice sounds and smells in reasonable quantities, but as we say in French, "too much is too much". And whatever the sound, after a while I always start longing for silence.

I don't like scented candles either, and I hate smelling someone's perfume unless it's so discreet that I can forget it after the first whiff.

Yes, we know. And we (the guys) all love it. May I just add that I have impure thoughts when I see it?

Add me to the chorus that loves wind chimes. Chris, not so much, though. He has genetic hearing loss and tinnitus - he says he hears chimes ALL the time, LOL. He was nice enough to buy me a really nice set with a medium tone for my birthday two years back though

. I absolutely love the huge ones that sound like church bells, but they're expensive.

Right now I'm sitting here consuming my first diet dr pepper of the day. Yesterday I only got 3/4 of one - but did get two glasses of raspberry iced tea at the restaurant we ended up meeting one of Chris's uncles and his family at for an impromptu dinner

I'd never heard of this place, even though it's a chain, (Granite City) but the food was excellent.

Then I think we're going out for a bit (which is pretty much all we've done all weekend!); but I think we're staying closer to home this time, as I have a midterm due sometime before midnight. I'm still at 100% in this class after three weeks, so I'm sort of dreading the midterm, because I'm pretty sure the streak will be broken, LOL.

That's the big one I have out back

Got it on sale 50% off at Hobby Lobby clearance.

It's beginning to kick up out there too...currently 52F but I see it coming in from the west, will drop to the 30's in the next few hours....

and maybe a couple of inches of snow for the morning commute....

Counting down to post 25000 - I think that will be our longest thread so far. It'll probably happen while I'm asleep.

kennyc · 11-28-2010, 04:25 PM

Not if you keep posting.

pholy · 11-28-2010, 04:28 PM

But I hardly ever post here. Most of what I am up to isn't interesting enough...

kennyc · 11-28-2010, 04:30 PM

Neither is what everyone else posts.

my favorite set I paid over $200 for at specialty store. of course that was back when I had money and a life...

It's not true. I was big and mean and tough in my youth, and no set of wind chimes could ever bully me and pull my pants down in front of the school and shout out "Hey, look, Marc has a tinkle too!" and call me "Tinkabell" until I ran home and hid in my room, under the bed, cuddling my my Little Pony. So don't you go spreading rumours otherwise!

Very similar here.
