pianostreet world without opus and pianistimo

[tds]

what would pianostreet.com become without these two people. honestly? tds

[rach n bach]

Without Pianistimo, the Forums would be rather boring...

Without Opus, the Chat would be rather boring...

We would loose the butts of all the jokes...

Oh, and Thal would have to find somebody else orther than pianistmo to pick on.

[ahinton]

Smaller.

Best,

There are a couple of candidates.

[counterpoint]

pianostreet would be much less funny without pianistimo and without op10-2

[ahinton]

There are a couple of candidates.

Thal

As few as that? Really?!

She's very nice, but mad. don't start her on anything to do with religion. you've been told.

[philippa]

A world without opus? Doesn't bear thinking about!

Or something. 

[tds]

yes, quieter and rather boring.

tho i have a feeling that both opus and pianistimo will undergo some significant character change: opus, after he gets married; pianistimo, after giving birth to three more kids.

I don't know about the possible character changes that you anticipate, nor do I know anything about opus's marriage plans or otherwise, but I can be pretty sure that pianistimo will not give birth to three more kids (not that it's up to me, of course)...

We need our opposing forces of good and evil to make order in the forum.

That said, I wouldn't put Pianistimo as the force of good either. :p?

[pianistimo]

i agree with that statemnt.  one is only as good as one supposes one is.  i don't really know what God has to say about me - but i can hope for a good review for putting in good words about His words.  perhaps the good thing about age is that you may occasionally say something stupid - but you don't have the energy to do very many stupid things anymore.

three more children?  at my age?  46.  people might wonder.  (did she do that on purpose?)  as it is - the last one at 40 wasn't particularly 'on purpose.'  but, i suppose it was part of God's purpose.  and yes, with each child there seems to be character change.  mellower in some ways - completely luny in others.  i think it depends upon the age of the child in relation to the parent.

my advice - have children in your late 20's and thru 30's.  you're ok if you just reached 40 - but a lot can go wrong over fourty (i've heard say).  for one thing - the eggs are just plain old.  when a baby girl is born - she's got all the eggs she ever will have.  if you want semi-sickly children - try having them at 50.  i don't know.  that's what i heard on tv and i really don't know any women at 50 who have a baby.  but, i know it's been done.

the thing is - WHY would someone try to?  it's just beyond me.  i love children - but even i know when to quit.  (i think).  it'll have to be my grandchildren.  i have to save some energy for them.  and what about my heart? 

but, thanks, tds - for the vote of confidence.  i've heard say that many women think they are beyond it and then do end up with a couple more.  perhaps adoption is the answer- although i don't think i could do that.

ps  tds - how do you know about panic attacks?  occasionally, my heart does wierd things - but then, i try to calm myself and ask what it is i'm worried about.  so far - no full blown - run around the house looking for the front door.  coming in and out like the cat.  anything like that.

[opus10no2]

A bit weak 

Without pianistimo the forum would be worse, no doubt 

[soliloquy]

It might have something to do with the piano again

[pianistimo]

you're very sweet opus10#2.  you remind me a lot of my first boyfriend.  completely obsessed with girls.  but, of course, being 17 - it was flattering.  now - somehow i understand joan crawford.  going around slapping every man she meets. 

seriously, i think playing the piano means living life.  if you haven't lived - how can you express it?  and, i vaguely remember a thread where you said you were ready for settling down and having children.  now, don't think i'm rushing you or anything - but it's the best thing that happened in my life.  it makes you calmer somehow.  usually.

soliloquy - what exactly about piano do you want to discuss?  i am open to any suggestions you might have on the opus10#1.  after all - we are dueling this aren't we?  sadly, i only have two pages learned.  i will quickly learn the last two and surprise you.  is it this weekend or next?

It was last week.  Fail'd.

[pianistimo]

no.  we agreed two weeks.  that was last week. this is this week.  you must play.

[ahinton]

i don't really know what God has to say about me

Why not? I thought that you knew His phone and fax numbers and email address and that you were in regular communication...

three more children?  at my age?  46.  people might wonder.

I may not qualify as "people" but I did suggest that this contingency was pretty unlikely, did I not?

as it is - the last one at 40 wasn't particularly 'on purpose.'  but, i suppose it was part of God's purpose.

Er - hey, wait abit; who's the father of this last child, then? God? If he/she was truly part of His purpose, it would be hard to figure why that was the case if He were not somehow directly involved in his/her physical creation. If, on the other hand, your husband is the father, then please leave "God's purpose" out of the entire business, as this notion would hold no credibility.

a lot can go wrong over fourty (i've heard say).  for one thing - the eggs are just plain old.

Dop they actually bear their sell-by dates? Just curious...

when a baby girl is born - she's got all the eggs she ever will have.  if you want semi-sickly children - try having them at 50.  i don't know.  that's what i heard on tv and i really don't know any women at 50 who have a baby.  but, i know it's been done.

Given certain recent and ongoing technological developments and the extent to which at least some women want to take advantage of them, is this entire situation not in some kind of state of flux?

the thing is - WHY would someone try to?  it's just beyond me.

Well, that, of course, is quite another matter; individual desires and general developing possibilities may not always coincide.

i love children - but even i know when to quit.  (i think).  it'll have to be my grandchildren.  i have to save some energy for them.  and what about my heart?

Do you have a heart problem (physically, I mean)? I very much hope not. You as a woman must - and, dare I suggest it, should - know better than anyone else when it is that you no longer want to bear more children.

but, thanks, tds - for the vote of confidence.  i've heard say that many women think they are beyond it and then do end up with a couple more.  perhaps adoption is the answer- although i don't think i could do that.

That's entirely up to you, of course.

Just take care and it easy sometimes - only not "over-easy", since that peculiar and peculiarly American expression is about "eggs"...

Best,

Alistair

going around slapping every man she meets. 

I slap back, and not with my hand 

[pianistimo]

i don't know who is more dangerous.  alistair or opus10#2. 

let's see - hotline to God?  i think the fastest one is to not skip church.  sometimes i have gone cycling and then say a prayer - and i feel it bouncing back in my lap.  'why didn't you go to church.  what are you doing?'  the more people around -the more you feel connected to God.  i suppose that has something to do with portions of the Holy Spirit connecting together.  we usually pray together for people in and out of the congregation and then feel that God has heard because 'when two or three are gathered together in My name...' 

other times would be when i sincerely want an answer to something and have done my homework (reading the bible).  i mean - God doesn't just plop it all your lap.  'tommorrow - there will be rain...mixed with hail and lightening.'  i think He just gives us enough for each day.  'today, you will be patient and kind and forgiving.'  if that's all - then that's ok.  after this many years - there's really not much left to be shocking.  job losses, children breaking a wrist, sickness, heart murmers.  whatever!  i mean -these people in the mid-west should not feel badly, really...if they survived.  there's always hope when you survive.  it means God loves you.  and, even if you don't survive - it doesn't mean He doesn't.

ps perhaps i did not explain this far enough.  the blessings that come after trials can be really nice!  even if you sort of mess up the details of the trial by doubting God a bit.  it strengthens your faith when He works it all out.  sometimes seemingly at the last minute.  He seems to want us to continue to respect and give Him awe and reverence.  something we would not do if we had a full plate every day.

[ahinton]

i don't know who is more dangerous.  alistair or opus10#2.

“Dangerous” to whom and in what way/s?

let's see - hotline to God?  i think the fastest one is to not skip church.

I’d thought that you, possessing as I assumed you to do God’s phone and fax numbers and email address, already had that “hotline” regardless of churchgoing activities but, if I got that wrong, do tell us which kinds of church and how frequent the attendance thereto would have to be in order to maintain that connection…

sometimes i have gone cycling and then say a prayer - and i feel it bouncing back in my lap.

You feel what bouncing back in your lap – the prayer? the bicycle? Or something else as yet unspecified?…

'why didn't you go to church.  what are you doing?'  the more people around -the more you feel connected to God.

So here you appear to suggest that connection with God gets better the more people there are around to try to make it at any given time (but see below)

i suppose that has something to do with portions of the Holy Spirit connecting together.

And what on earth is that supposed to mean?

we usually pray together for people in and out of the congregation and then feel that God has heard because 'when two or three are gathered together in My name...'

So now, contrary to your statement above, this “connection to God” is actually better if the number of people seeking to achieve it at any one time does not drop below two or exceed three; it would seem that you are arguing with your own statements, Susan…

other times would be when i sincerely want an answer to something and have done my homework (reading the bible).

So Bible reading is your “homework”, is it? Not piano practice? Poor piano! Poor you…

i mean - God doesn't just plop it all your lap.

“Plop” what, exactly (the mind is trying hard not to boggle unduly)…

'tommorrow - there will be rain...mixed with hail and lightening.'  i think He just gives us enough for each day.

So God has now suddenly assumed the rôle of meteorologist, has he?

ps perhaps i did not explain this far enough.

Oh, I think that you did! – all too much so, in fact!…

Best,

Alistair
