Practicing chromatic scales as a warm-up has made this happen so secretly that this has gone unnoticed even by myself. That's great 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 We dragged home (much too much) stuff when my mom's house was sold this summer after 55 years. A hauling crew came today to junk some of it. The one guy was all of 20, but noticed my AFTK album on the sofa! It turns out Rush is his favorite band! We had a good conversation, it was fun to meet another Rush fan! It dawned on me too late that I have multiples upon multiples of some Rush books and DVDs. I have left a message with the office to tell him to swing by, I have a bag of stuff for him! Share the love! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out he is a bass player and Geddy is his inspiration. My husband was like, I won't even ask why you are asking an unknown guy to return to the house, I know Rush fans find each other. . I had more Rush stuff than I realized and I'm glad to share it with someone that will appreciate it.

Sun & Moon Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 This happened yesterday but will continue to make my day for a long time: I got to visit my friend in the hospital to meet her and her first baby. He's six days old today. Such a magical little guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your post wasn't simply to praise McCain, but to use it as a vehicle criticize the GOP and Trump. That's why you didn't post this... ...or this... To get into SOCN, just PM 1-0-0-1-0-0-1.

The other one was just something I ran across and thought it showed a side of McCain that some may not know. There is a fair number of people who believe he was a traitor for his actions as a POW which wasn't the case at all. Forgot to say thanks for the information.

Sun & Moon Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) It seems like I have a new friend! With my old friends scattered in different places and after six and a half years of living in this city far away from home I've felt lonely. This friendly woman invited me to her house for the very first time today. We ate together, talked and laughed a lot, and cried a few tears, too, as we have so much in common. It turned out that she had been studying and working in the small village I come from. Both of us come from another part of Finland and have found this city quite hard to make new friends in (as do many, many others). Six hours passed quickly, and we immediately felt like we've known each other for ages. This is quite amazing!
