Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2007Ouch. What is that sound?
This is more an anecdote post, but I'd rather post it here. I just bought an iPod. Wanted one for a while, but couldn't see spending the megabucks they want for them. I recently read that a good stress- buster is listening to music. It's true! I burned a lot of my CDs to it, and some oldies I downloaded back in the Napster days, and yes, I tend to sing along even if I'm wearing headphones. I used to sing well. I sang in the church choir, sang solos, played guitar, sang in school chorus, etc. But I'm a long time smoker and my voice has suffered. So an old favorite comes on the iPod and I sing along. The cats look at me like I've lost my mind. Rhett meows at me. Shamrock looks at me with a mean look. The girls don't really react much other than just stare at me. Just these two. I burned my son's only CD to it and listen and smile and cry a little. He was such a great musician.  SignatureCheryl > So an old favorite comes on the iPod and I sing along.

He was such a great musician. that must be the Ouch part of your post man Im a good typer now > that must be the Ouch part of your post He was the writer of the band. He didn't write lyrics, but he wrote the music. After he died they were grieving with the rest of us, but they also wanted the band to live on. No one had the arrangements. It was all in Eric's head. My favorite song that they did is called "Shattered Dreams". It took on a new meaning. One thing in the songs that makes me smile is how they often mention J Crew, or JC. It's sort of like when Kid Rock mentions Kid Rock in his songs. And many other bands that do that. Personalized. Cool. But their band name was Envision. If you ever hear of them it was my Eric that started it. God I miss him so much. SignatureCheryl >> that must be the Ouch part of your post > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Envision.

Is it on a web site somewhere? http://home.comcast.net/~csellner79/Envision-ShatteredDreams.mp3 I posted all of their songs a while back but ran out of space. Eric is the lead guitarist. You hear him most in the beginning of the song. His idea was the synth with the water sounds. He did that alot. He recorded a song called "The Duck" that was just a synthesizer. I think it was the Pink Floyd influence when he was a baby. :) When he was in his playpen he would completely stop everything and listen when The Wall was playing. He was born in 1979, so that had just come out.

PS - this song was from 2003-2004. Heavily influenced by music at that time. Pantera, Slayer, many other metal bands that I never heard of. SignatureCheryl > PS - this song was from 2003-2004.

It is sad beyond words that you did not get the chance to see your son grow older and have children of his own, all the things you expected to share with him. > It's neat stuff, Cheryl, thanks for sharing it.

Cheryl, what did you do to him make him act this way? You should have seen him when he gave me the CD and I played it. He lowered his eyes whenever they sang the F word. LOL He says to me, I didn't sing that. SignatureCheryl >> http://home.comcast.net/~csellner79/Envision-ShatteredDreams.mp3 I'm just playing do they have any more songs? I noticed you burnt them to an ipod thingy can you add your ipod as a shared network drive? then lower your shields, we can all download from the little ipod better unplug that camera first. > do they have any more songs? > I noticed you burnt them to an ipod thingy > > can you add your ipod as a shared network drive? > then lower your shields, we can all download from the little ipod > better unplug that camera first. The CD has 6 songs. How do you do the shared network drive with the ipod? Barry, it's been 4 years. I just gave away the case of his computer but I kept the hard drive. I know there are songs on there I haven't heard yet. SignatureCheryl > Barry, it's been 4 years. I just gave away the case of his computer > but I kept the hard drive.

I'm very sorry about your boy, 4 years is not that long. - you could find a vacant IDE plug inside your machine, if host machine has decent cmos, just set his HD jumper to CS? any fitting power supply to the drive is fine. my pc is flayed open on it's side with the case off. I move hard drives in and out often enough I don't know about the network config. could post a zip file, somewhere So the band still plays his music, that's endearing. >> do they have any more songs? >> I noticed you burnt them to an ipod thingy [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >but I kept the hard drive. I know there are songs on there I haven't >heard yet. If you have a desktop computer, it's quite easy to plug in a second hard drive. Even I can do that. You never know what you'll find on that hard drive. Copy it to a new drive before it's lost forever. > You never know what you'll find on that hard drive. > > Copy it to a new drive before it's lost forever. true, in laymens terms, but the data is still on there you have to crack it open like a coconut (so i hear) i've never done it if I did, I would keep the aluminum case to recycle in hard times "Cheryl" <jlhshadow@NOSPAMhotmail.com> wrote:.

Maybe they are worried that you're howling and something is wrong! Today I was coming downstairs to start dinner and I heard Boo yeeeeowwwwwlllling. I was alarmed! She was just sitting on the upholstered kitchen chair, but she looked really irritated. Her paw was stuck. It is time to trim claws. Of course as always, when I gently unhooked her paw, she screamed like a banshee and made a face like a piranha, and BIT me--but for all the drama it was a soft bite. (She hates her paws touched.) One day, I heard great howling and yowling from Gracie and came down after a while. (At first I thought she was conquering her rubber snake, but then I noticed a little edge to the yowling.) She was on the back of the couch, with one arm wayyyy up, stuck in the sheers. In trying to free herself she had twisted around and around and the more she twisted the shorter the sheers got, so she was just about off the ground! But I digress. :D > Today I was coming downstairs to start dinner and I heard Boo > yeeeeowwwwwlllling. I was alarmed!

That happens to mine, too. Ooo, you mention sheers. ONe day I saw Scarlett sitting on the thin ledge of my bedroom window where there are sheers and I could see the sheers moving in and out and plastered to her face. She was breathing in the fabric. After that I rearranged them so they were more "bunched". I was afraid she was going to sufficate. SignatureCheryl |
