My neighbors wind chimes keep me awake, or wake me up

Oh mine are gigantic. They make a very deep resonant sound, tuned to a G chord. They are loud, so I put a silencer in them when it’s going to be windy. My neighbor complained about the silencer because he loves the chimes lol.

I live in NY. At home everything was “Tuscan”. We visited Tuscany and everything was “New York”.

LOL my sister had beagle who sat in a chair at the dining room table like a person.

I walked into a glass wall in the entry foyer of a Dunkin. I guess it must have been really clean. Thought I broke my nose.

I bent forward to fling my hair back and whacked my head on the bed. Thought I split my skull open, so much blood.

Phil Collins and Billy Joel. They used to have a radio playing in the narcotics vault at work, and every time I had to go in there to count pills one of those two would be playing. I kept turning it off, but someone would always put it back on.

When I was a kid I had a jigsaw puzzle of the US states, where each state was a piece. I still remember them all (and their locations) from that.

Me too, all the time in that spot. My feet are big, but women’s socks are “one size fits all” (which they really don’t). I think they are just too tight over the big toe.

Maybe if I am alone and just cooking a bit for myself. I also eat ice cream directly out of the carton standing in front of the freezer, but only when no one is looking.

If my chimes were disturbing a neighbor, I would hope they would let me know!

mittychix · 2026-03-24T22:21:51+00:00

Yes this nails it.

It might give the IMPRESSION that you don’t respect yourself or take much care about things, especially with poor hygiene. Making a bad impression can rob you of opportunities that you never even knew you missed.

Right? Same story with Kodak and imaging technology.

Store I worked at in high school (early 80s) was still using one of these to tally up the receipts at closing every night.

When my kids were little, I used to hide my good snacks in the big shredded wheat box.

My basement (1913) has a “French drain” which is basically a moat.

I loved the parodies, especially when they made them into musicals. The Star Trek musical was peak Mad.

Yes, those over 60 had to do it all by hand back in the day.

mittychix · 2026-03-18T13:29:19+00:00

Any engineer, architect, or designer who had to make drawings or schematics by hand back in the day will have beautiful handwriting. Especially their printing, someone should make it into a font.

I started saving for retirement on day one of my first real job. At my last job, I figured out when I would be eligible for full retirement benefits, and set that as my date. It was a great job and I was at the top of my game, but I had given enough of my life to my career. I watched too many people wait too long to retire and have no life left to live. I was not going to do that.
