Couch 82: If you're happy and you know it, be a number!

Oh lawd I was busted screeching "Freedom" at the top of my lungs. At a red light. In 5 o'clock traffic. With my windows down.

Wait wait wait...George Michael's "Freedom"? Because if so, that's AWESOME, hahaha!

Yep that's the one. Love that song! However I would never have been picked for Wham! Let's say I used to have a nice singing voice before I smoked for over 20 years.

responding to MKAC "Growing up, my mother always made the popcorn in bacon grease and salt."

It is actually quite tasty. My family would cook it that way sometimes - particularly my grandmothers.

Okay - if honest - I still do cook it that way every so often if missing my grandmother.

I have never heard of the singers, bands or songs referred to above.
You kids get off my lawn.
And turn that devil music down - you are going to go deaf.

That needn't be a problem. Stevie Nicks has a smoker's voice.

I actually sang for my t once during a phone session, a song I wrote. she can still hear even, imagine that!!

I was the only person in the all girl school choir who was asked to leave as my voice too deep and my teacher said you can't have a solo contralto in the chair. This was when I had strips torn off me for deliberately sing out of tune. Nuns,eh?

Nuns were often not nice or happy people to interact with.

My daughter (6 at the time) put it best.

"Nuns are dead people"

I loooooove singing out of tune on purpose, like Happy Birthday - i kinda sound like im going for harmony, but it is tuneless And very loud people look around like they dont want to say anything to hurt my feelings - freakin hilarious.

Luckily I had a very nice chorus teacher in the 6th grade when some of the other girls complained that my voice was messing them up...not that she could do much about it since I am pretty sure I am tone deaf.

I think I will. Random is good and distracting.

Food is good talk... I'm craving meat buns my grandmother made when I was a kid.

I don't sing for people ever. I pretend to sing happy birthday.

o ne of my favourite songs from Queen, also it makes me think of my brother(in a good way)
IN Love with my car

I love to singalong to a bit of janis Joplin when I'm washing up. Me and bobby McGee if I'm doing saucepans.
My h made some jam from our grapes this autumn, it's fab. Yes! You can grow grapes in England!

Could I have pocket riders for tomorrow please. I see my T in the morning and the acute care team in the afternoon. I have lost the plot doing the unstoppable laughing thing, still terribly agitated, I can't hold a conversation because one thing leads to another and another etc. Can't do any of calming activities because after 5 minutes they irritate me or I get irritable because I can't do them at once. Earlier this week the acute ward was mentioned. This not what I want to happen.
Thak you in advance.

BPA I'll go along! Hugs and good thoughts for you.

My b i t c h of a ex-MIL has done it again. My ex and his dad went fishing and asked D tocall me as he'd be home late. Apparently when my D asked to call me ex-MIL had some "important" phone calls. I tried to ring several times but the line was engaged.AARRGGHH! as if i was agitated and irritable enough!

I'll be glad to tag a long, Bipolarartist. I can help support you. Let me know if you need me to do more to help out.

I'm in, BPA.

I'm feeling good. My therapist even agreed that I'm doing very well, in fact, he set my appointment on January 6. He didn't think I need to come in as often, but he said if I need him to just call. And to think just four months ago, I was suicidal. Amazing what the right meds can do. I just wish it hadn't taken so long to find ones that worked. I am surprised every day that I'm not depressed anymore.

I was the weird kid who got along with the nuns, but then again, my mother was an ex-nun and I was properly trained.

CE, your daughter makes an excellent point. Sometimes I feel like I've been dead most of my life.
