pant leg in the vaccum?

[pianonut]

which is worse?  suddenly getting screamed at, or suddenly getting your pant leg caught in the vaccum cleaner?  first you are in shock, then you try to remember where the vaccum turns off.  if you have to, you yank on the cord.

yeah, Marijuana really is a lot of fun........ come on, admit it

HAHAHA 


Seriously, how powerful is your vaccum? On the rare occasions when that happens I should think that it would be no problem just to pull it out.

i'm a very sensitive person, and the slightest disruption to my equilibrium or sound causes disorientation for a period of time after.  as when the fire alarm is going; can you really make a good decision - or do you open the oven door to make sure there are flames?  (just did that today)

Suddenly getting screamed at would be worse.  The vacuum is way down on your leg.  The scream is in your ears.  Ouch.































Boo!       Sorry.  I'm cruel, I'm cruel.... 

[pianonut]

thank you.  my thoughts exactly.

I think it depends whether or not you are wearing shoes.



Perhaps you were the one doing the screaming due to toes in the drum roller?

i see that the forum is a place to toughen up gradually.  you can have someone tell you everything from one end of the spectrum (IQ of 40 to whatever it goes to - what does it go to?).  i have found personally, that in whatever i do, if i don't lose it to a comment or two (am very sensitive) i can determine after a while if the comment is really true or not.  BUT, never ask your spouse to determine the validity of a criticism.  more often than not, the person closest to you will tell you the absolute truth (it is true, you are playing the piano like a wind up toy).  then, you just #1 get angry, #2 face the facts #3 start thinking about creative ways to think - not just a yellow pencil rendition of whatever  #4 listen more to other recordings (i have avoided this, thinking that i don't want to play like whoever is on the recording).  #5 be more 'agressive' if that is the word.  not louder, but follow through dynamics like a golf swing (i don't play golf - but i see the swing idea) or bowling roll ( i am an expert bowler on some days).  #6 laugh in the face of 'death' - which may be an easier piece than the 18-21 year olds are playing.  #7 think young - even when you are caught spacing out.
