  1. Thank you Rhyta .
  2. I'm so sorry for your loss, HemiBeers . It's good that you can write about Lola and how you feel. R.I.P. Lola . She seemed like a perfect companion.
  3. Thank you blueschica . I also work in a public library and I love it. It has been my dream job since I was a teen. I also work at the main reception desk where we make a lot of new library cards, especially for new students that move to the city, do basic checkouts and check-ins plus help customers find books. Even more I work in the computer & newspaper area where we help people with computers, printing, and everything related to newspapers. In addition to all this, I also have other responsibilities like short guided tours for teenagers on how to use the library, and various kinds of office work.
  4. Update: I found the cherry taste dates. They're really good . I also bought the ones with blue raspberry (whatever that is) and cola taste. So here I have it, a super tasty snack with no added sugar. I've never despised sugar, for that matter .
  5. This was very sad news .
  6. It is . I'd like to try the cherry taste but I haven't found it yet. Maybe it's not available here in Finland since it's not among the most popular tastes here. The salty licorice ('salmiakki'), on the other hand, is a holy thing here.
  7. These with salty licorice and sour apple taste. The salty licorice is, however, not very biting as I'd prefer it.
  8. I'd like to see how these will look like !
  9. I've made it to the 1/3 of The Sea, the Sea by Iris Murdoch. The long accounts of the main character's ex-lovers really inspire boredom in me, yet at the same time I am still keen on finding out how the story continues. I guess I've from very early on accepted how the novel is and probably will be till the end. It is like listening to a person who comes to you and every time tells you a seemingly uninteresting story. You will then have to get to know the person and accept him/her or then find out why you chose not to. Usually these decisions reveal more about yourself than the person. As Rhyta pointed out we all bring our own history to books. I have since my childhood loved to listen to and talk to elderly people because they usually speak their minds and have had a lot to happen to them even though not everyone is a fascinating storyteller. I like those small stories that reveal an aspect of their personality, whatever that may be like. I also get to listen to many kinds of people on a daily basis in my job in the library. Maybe for those reasons I'm very patient with the Murdoch novel.
  10. Messing up is the beginning of all wisdom. The idea of a prayer is connected with focusing on the task before me. I also don't want to take for granted that my brain and my hands are working. I'm hoping to see a bigger picture and not only serving my ego with my playing even though I am not a very advanced musician. I asked AI for tips on how to make my practice routine more effective. It said, among many things, that visualization would be a good add to a daily practice. I have started to do a few minute's visualization of playing with a big fat sound with an effortless touch and great time. I want to aim high in the visualization - why ask for any less - so that my system would start to work to that direction. I also often go through a quick scanning based on Alexander technique that I'm familiar with. It helps me to avoid some harmful habits and refocus my playing.
  11. Congratulations jamie ! That's great news !
  12. I was blocked as well, so the site may not be available outside the US as you suggested. But a Jeep will be a lot of fun!
  13. Congratulations to the newly weds!
  14. That really is wonderful news! I'm glad that you keep checking how your neighbor is doing.
