THE NOBODY REALLY CARES THREAD

[Fenix]

Nrc: seriously considering going back to school to get another bachelors.

Another bachelors degree? Why?

NRC but I need to vent.

Random venting from a frustrated host of a long-term house guest:

For the life of me, I cannot understand why ALL parents don't teach their children the stuff my parents taught me. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I'm just being honest about what goes on in my mind. Some parents are so busy making sure their kids are fly, or know how to play video games or act like little hood rats or know how to recite rap lyrics or whatever, and forget their WHOLE responsibility. The responsibility of a parent is to prepare a child for adulthood. That means, you prepare them to live on their own, to be somebody's husband or wife, to be somebody's student, somebody's employee, somebody's neighbor, mentor, customer, boss, client, etc. I'm so sick of seeing grown men and women who don't even have basic skills.

Parents, if you teach your children to turn off a light when they leave a room, when they get older, they are more likely to turn lights off when they leave a doggone room. If you teach them to empty the trash baskets into the larger trash, and then take the trash out when the bag is full, they will probably do that when they get older. If you teach them to wipe up crumbs, close drawers, clean up spills, hang up clothes, wash dishes in HOT water (who the heck washes dishes in cold water?? Even if your mama didn't teach you that, isn't it common sense????? ) and not leave them in the sink overnight, close the curtains at night, use a coaster, etc. that is what they are most likely to do when they get older. Teach them to put lotion on their skin after they shower. Seriously. Teach them what it means to clean a bathroom (tub, tile, toilet - inside and out, basin, counter, mirror, floor and trash).

You'd be surprised how many grown ups don't know the basics. It's one thing to know it and not do it. I can get with that. You're grown. You run your home however you want to. If you want a $400 electricity bill, knock yourself out. If you want dishes in the sink overnight, hey, it's your sink. But if you just don't even know better.... woe is you! If you're staying in someone else's home and don't know how to clean after yourself.... SMH!  I can remember times I couldn't stand my mother for making me do chores when I'd rather be playing or whatever. But I'm about to call her and say thank you! So many parents don't even let their children do chores because they think they'll make a mess or like my godchildren's mother, they feel like children should be able to enjoy childhood. That's fine, just know that when they get older, they're gonna be somebody else's headache and everyone is gonna know you screwed up as a parent!!!!!

You betta preach that word girl!!!!

Is your trip simply travelling first class?

How many tickets did that $850 buy you?

Round trip...one

Coming here to vent, ramble or whatever you want to call it, LOL.

I am soooooo emotional today. I woke up this morning wanting to be with my family today. I just wanted us all to take off and spend ALL day together. Even right now as I type this....I'm tearing up. I'm about to call them in a few.....just so I can hear their voices.

I've also been thinking about how crazy and protective I am about my family. I was seeing red a few months back about something that happened with my nephew. I just want to be there to protect them at all times.

This kinda stuff makes me think twice about wanting my own family. I see how people treat kids and how crazy this world is. I'm not sure I want to raise children in this world.  IDK.....

I have a huge lump in my throat....man.

I'm sure you already know what I'm gonna say, but.... lol.

That sounds spiritual. You should be praying.

I promise you...I kept thinking about that. I even looked in my PM's.

Yeah....I did and will continue to pray.

I just didn't know if I was being a normal thing or if it was serious. I always want to stay home and I always want to be with my family but it has NEVER, EVER been this strong of a feeling.

NRC, but... everybody always says "tritones aren't bad" and "dom7ths and ninth chords aren't bad", but yet, the only evidence they can provide is " I like them, so they can't be bad. It's just music". That's not scientific.

So maybe they're not bad, but can anybody give evidence that they are GOOD?

<[/doesn't really care>

Same thing can be said about any other chord as well. What makes a chord good or bad is simply placement. Of course, NRC right? lol

[chevonee]

NRC but I'm going to miss you guys the next few days or weeks. I love me some LGM, even though I do get picked at for not knowing how to use the correct words, grammar, etc. For some reason I keep comin back for more. Go figure...lol

When is the last time someone picked on you for using incorrect words or grammar??

I must've missed it.

NRC: I didn't have to go to work today, so I'm home, bored with my step dad. I don't like being home with him.  I'll just stay in my room. At least until my mom gets home and I'll bug her.

NRC but I think I have a flat tire on my Cobalt. That makes the second one in two weeks.

[JustBritt]

NRC: My phone keeps shutting off. Ugh! I don't really like this phone that much anyways.... upgrade is in order. Just not sure which Android I want next.

<[/doesn't really care>

NRC, but it all depends on context.
A Dom. 7th chord is more 'at home' in Blues or Quartet Gospel styles than say, Neo-Soul.
Likewise, one would not expect a Maj.9th or a suspended chord in a Clara Ward Singers number...
