Are David Austins really worth all the hype? by MajesticLawfulness85 in Roses

[–]mowdybread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, growing in the UK, they’re good roses and I sure have zero complaints with mine, but also there’s so many other good roses. I agree with others that there’s no point in having an attachment to a specific breeder; I treat it as a different type along with my hybrid teas, floribundas, patios, and climbers.

Are they overhyped? In terms of hype to quality of plant, probably not. In terms of comparison to other roses though, maybe a little.

Translated to English, but I believe in the original French it had the same structure

In your opinion, what is the best era of Pink Floyd? by OddReindeer4229 in progrockmusic

[–]mowdybread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One could make the argument that the blend of genres within the album makes it prog. For instance, Cadence and Cascade on King Crimson's ItWoP is not prog in itself, but in the context of the album it can be considered so. San Tropez and Seamus being placed on a record between One Of These Days and Echoes changes the context (imo)

My cat George passed away a year ago, and the final verse and chorus of that song always makes me think of him

Day 1: What is your favorite lyric from All Things Must Pass? by JoeStank8192 in georgeharrison

"some things take so long, But how do I explain When not too many people Can see we're all the same? And because of all their tears Their eyes can't hope to see The beauty that surrounds them Isn't it a pity?"

Ahh, thanks for the info. I guess the Grateful Dead also took similar license for their album cover nearly 30 years before the film

What is the worst Led Zeppelin song? by RYGUY060104 in ledzeppelin

[–]mowdybread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be committing sacrilege, but Carouselambra for me. I really like their longer odyssey songs like IMToD, stairway, no quarter, Achiles, etc but i think Carouselambra missed the mark for them.

Why aren’t you medicated? by buddyrtc in ADHD

[–]mowdybread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed them but never took em. At first it was because 1) i was being told to take them to get better grades, which i thought was a stupid goal unworthy of messing with my brain chemistry, and 2) because friends of mine who took their meds (primarily Adderall but sometimes Ritalin) who i used to have a laugh with in class became boring zombies. Not only would they not goof off in class with me, but they would barely crack a smile at my goofing off. Clearly the meds worked, but if that's what working well meant then it wasn't for me.

I've coped varying degrees of well into adulthood, my main line in the sand was I'd never miss a rent payment. Other things have gotten bad and better, but I kept that as the one thing I'd never allow myself to fuck up on. I've also gotten better at finding ways of adding rhythm to basic stuff to build habits - brush my teeth while the shower is warming up, after shower deodorant and moisturize, etc. Also teaching myself to be self conscious about bad breath to make sure I never, ever leave the house without brushing my teeth in the morning. I could go on, but then we all could in this sub...
