The discussion centers on the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, with a focus on the continuation of a previous thread. Participants engage in light-hearted banter, celebrating a trivia quiz and discussing various topics, including creativity, humor, and personal anecdotes. One member shares a humorous proposal joke involving a "trivial ring," leading to a deeper conversation about mathematical concepts and the nature of "nothing." The conversation shifts to personal experiences, including frustrations with the medical system following a wisdom tooth extraction, highlighting issues with prescription management and insurance complications. Members express their opinions on dental practices, particularly the necessity of wisdom tooth removal, with some viewing it as a financial racket unless there are complications. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of humor, personal stories, and commentary on broader societal issues, maintaining a casual and engaging tone throughout.

Ming stopped coughing but his vet harassed me into taking him to the pet hospital anyway. They found nothing really wrong and charged me $400. I'll have the final radiologists report tomorrow or Wednesday.

Thank you all that cared. I'm hoping nothing else shows up. He does have a narrow trachea, which could collapse, he may end up like Chacha. :L

My dog Ming is seriously ill. He needs to stay in the hospital for several days. :L I can't afford it. We're talking over a thousand dollars for a couple of days with the x-rays and tests.
This makes me sad :s!

Oh I just read this after posting. How is he now? It sounds like he's a bit better, maybe?

He's better but still has that screeching cough a couple of times a day, nothing like the first time when he coughed violently for an hour without stopping. He's on antibiotics, just in case it's an infection. I'm waiting to hear back about his x-rays. It's just really bizarre.

Just randomly wondering why you smile like a blockhead when you are in love. Not that I'm in love. Just remembering; and realizing how silly one looked like and acted. :rolleyes:

*robotic voice* Initiating teen love sequence. Deactivating intelligence and a few other functions.

A guy's brain shuts down when anticipating conversation with a female.

Kind of strange. There was a person here at school I was always fighting with almost every time we met. We have become pretty good friends after all. I guess the key has been that we stick to arguments during our fights, and we then are able to comeback next day without holding grudges. It is a relief to know you can disagree without it being the end of the world. It seems the real test of any relationship ( romantic, friendly, etc.) is to be able to survive a discussion.

Most definitely. Some of the people I end up liking the most are ones I thought were jerks at first.

On further consideration, some are truly jerks. I guess I sometimes can like a jerk.

Not sure if simply down with cold or burning out.
Or it could be Ebola...
:rolleyes:

Anyhoo... time for some chicken soup.

Ebola is not something you can catch by using the same forum.

Sure? Not even if someone with Ebola sneezes just as they submit a post?

I finally found the trick to the Phrygian mode: The 4th always resolves to the 3rd, never to the 5th. That sounds awful. Working on lyrics now: all I got is "Her legs were as long as the words she used". What else?

Makes me wonder, can one be sick with more than 1 virus at a time? Like having two kinds of influenza at the same time? What about Ebola and Flu at the same time?

And what about getting 3 viruses at the same time?!

I like music too, I am always amazed as to how a melody in modern concerts could be played by multiple musical instruments, each of which produces different sounds and is played with a unique musical manuscript for the same song (cellists look at their own scripts, violinists play their own scripts too, so do pianists, guitarists, etc )

For example, HIV infected patients may also be easily infected with all other types of viruses.

There are plenty of virus infections like hepatitis C or herpes, that are lifetime conditions - and they don't stop you from getting other infections.

I played the cornet in Middle School. It's only been recently that I found out that all that time the sheets I used were off by 3 semitones! Cuz the cornet has to be corrected for B flat.

Correction: two semi-tones...one tone.
 
  • #1,770
I am not well versed on the music theory at all :(. Sorry about that.
But if I have for example, cellists, trumpeters, guitarists, and a singer
Each will have their own sheet to play the same song. How can each make a harmonious melody without hurting the listeners' musical enjoyability ?
By off-some-tones, do you mean one has to delay their play at some points in the song, I think this will prolong the song unnecessarily.
