The Thread for People who Just Want to Say Something Nice

[Low D]

What songs is she playing now? I trust you are past having to listen to the Suzuki numbers by now? Seattle and I are working on "Bile Them Cabbage Down" which is a great little number. Also, I play 'Kitty" just about every time I sit down.

Surely you mean "BOIL them Cabbage Down", "Bile..." sounds like the punk cover.

She is still doing some Suzuki, but it's come a long way. Currently working on Vivaldi's "Concerto in A Minor - 1st mov't". Been working on it for MONTHS. And she has a repertoire of at least 40 fiddle tunes. She's joined a fiddle group, so she learns no less than a tune a week, oftentimes several. I think i'm going to get her a fiddle fakebook, 'cause there's so many she half-remembers.

But i have a younger one too, who is currently on the 1st Suzuki book, so it's all coming back to me... she's also doing "Marie's Wedding" and "Dawning of the Day" right now, though, which is pretty nice. Also nice that she has a big sister to help her out. When she was a baby, she was hassling her big sister who was trying to practice with no help! She's also got a nicer fiddle, not so squeaky as what we used to have. Kids these days, don't know how good they have it...

I thought it was a mistake at first, however the song goes by many names, here is a nice slow version of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RryQQNI7hDE&feature=related

I think it's Alan Doyle the actor from the Rock who never knew his name was pronounced anything but Dile until he went to university.

So the rabbit died?

[cagliostro]

No, it means my experimental surgery worked, and I am ovulating.

No, wait, you were right. The rabbit died. Poor Harvey.

[Sandyfromvancouver]

No, it means my experimental surgery worked, and I am ovulating. . . . .

Oooo, best of luck, Cali!

[cagliostro]

I guess there is nothing pointing out that I am, in fact, male. It is my wife that is pregnant, by the way. Without that knowledge, the ovulation joke may not make much sense. Thank you. Carry on.

Congratulations mate!

Happy for your zygoty-goodness

Well, like I used to tell my son and daughter when they were toddlers, (trying to build self-worth), boys are great and girls are great, too.

My niece, when she was in grade school (grades 1-6, typically), had a favorite t-shirt. It said "Boys are stinky. Throw rocks at them."

Good times.

Congrats Cagli and Mrs Cagli. Exciting times...

[cagliostro]

Thanks folks! I have a boy already (not quite 2 years old), and I've got my fingers crossed for a girl.
Hopefully, I didn't need to have my fingers crossed while conceiving.

My friend used to sing to my infant daughter (while her older brother was at nursery school) "Monica Joy, Monica Joy, aren't we glad you're not a boy?"
