I suddenly realised something... I should've thought of this yesterday, but I was kind of out of it. About people disregarding DM as throwaway New Wave... those people probably aren't fans to begin with. ;) I mean, if they think THAT, then how can they call themselves fans? :lol:

(And I personally don't consider New Wave throw-away... but I guess it depends on the band. :D)

One thing I've noticed that annoys me to no end is a lot of the mainstream crowd who don't 'really' like DM, always say 'Enjoy the Silence' or 'Personal Jesus' were their only good songs. And even so-called DM fans only really like post '80s DM.

And the same thing happens to A-ha. A lot of people act like 'Take on Me' was their only good song or that they're throw-away pop. That's what annoys me... when people claim a band only has one good song and the rest are crap.

Oops... sorry for ranting about that. :blush::lol: I can get carried away sometimes... don't mind me!

:banghead: ohhhhhhhhh you've started something in me!!!!!!

I have met sooo many peoples who claim to like "DM" and then why I try to strike up a conversation with them they stare at me blankly as if I am speaking in Klingon. As much as I love Personal Jesus and Enjoy the Silence I have to say that they have done countless songs that are better, yes they have amazing lyrics and are very deep musically as well, they have done lots of albums tracks that equal them or just outright better them.

A lot of people I think professed to liking them on the basis that for a short time they were very "cool" and those songs got a lot of club play in the form of remixes. Though when they looked deeper in to their back catologue they were not too impressed to find they were not as throw away as what they would have liked to believe.

New Wave produced so many good bands that were ahead of their time, Cutting Crew made many fine albums and should be lauded for their talents but sadly these days it seems that to say you like 80'S music is practically a deathwish, people think it was tacky and filled with "one hit wonders" :banghead: When if you listen to the music you would discover just how clever they were, to produce those songs on such old synths, when many modern artists cannot re-create such beauty on much better equipment, shows just how great they were!!!!

Gary Numan sadly has a fan base who largely discard his work pre "Pure" now I love his new stuff, I love how he is being hailed as the Godfather of Industrial, as he should be, rather than people saying he copied Trent Reznor despite how many times Trent himself has said Numan influenced him. But for anyone to not see the synthetic, robotic beauty of The Pleasure Principle or Telekon astounds me. Just because it is not organic in its instrumentation or it is filled with cold lyrics , does that not mean it does not have a natural, inhuman beauty?? I know that may sound contradictory but Kraftwerk's music moves me to tears and they are a band that has spent years crafting a platic image. I love plastic. Sorry for the shameless copying of an Andy Warhol quote but I love futuristic imagery and that cold, inhuman sheen that Numan and many others adopted. The way they blurred gender lines and developed this beautiful neo-cyberpunk imagery.

:unsure: I am aware much of this probably does not make sense but I am tired and upon reading Exeter's post I had to jot down my thoughts and feelings while they were fresh. Sorry everyone.

I know it's a little "out there" but I LOVE PRIMUS!!! Favorite album, I'd say The Brown Album.

Primus! Brown Album was awesome, but I'd rather have there "greatest hits" album, so I can get my fix or Wynona and Jerry as well as My Name is Mud, all in one listen.

New one for my list is Mediocre Generica by Leftover Crack. I can't get enough of "Gay rude boys unite!"

Still waiting on Star F'ing Hipsters to see if everything else on that one is as good as what I can get on youtube. I love Nico's voice. ^_^

      So an update from me.   Had my endo appointment last night. Went very well and they are sending 3 months supply of estrogen (estradoil patches) and the anti-androgens whilst my Dr gets a shared care agreement sorted out. So happy, should start HRT tomorrow!! Cost for the 3 month supply is £70 total for me, so not too bad. Not told my parents about this yet, but them being in spain, not sure they need to know yet.   Can't wait to start, just got to think about where to put the patches now and wait for the changes...

      Good Morning    well it’s Friday for most, pay day for some.  For me it’s pay day but not Friday.  I work the same opening shift tomorrow.  I typically have Friday on Saturday and Monday on Tuesday.     @KymmieL it does sound like your shop has an issue and you are smack in the thick of it.  The new gal or guy often is.  We have an issue with new people not getting fully trained before being turned loose on customers.  Some struggle through it and some quit because of it.  I try to get them working with customers as quickly as I can but I stay right with them observing, helping, even jumping in when things are getting backed up to keep the stress down.  Not everything comes up during training so when things do, even later after trying is done, I try to help and explain.  Our ASM feels that once she has you scanning barcodes and taking money she is done training.  Generally, refuses to train me on things that she does, and questions why I’m doing something that she normally handles when I’ve been told to do it as part of my advancement training.     She and the cashier involved both keep trying to toss the manager under the bus over a hours of work issue and shifts.  I tell her I realize her issues and I’ll work what ever she needs.  Because of that I tend to get a better more consistent schedule.   Well, time to say Happy Trails to you, until we meet again.   Hi ho Silver, away   Willow

      That does get you the 'starting point' for cup size, but manufacturers, style, breast shape, etc... will effect the results.    Step one is of course finding the proper band fit, then figuring out the approximate cup size with the calculations. Of course you need to try on a few styles after that in different cup sizes close to your measured result until you get the perfect fit.    I have bras in a DD that fit just like my bras in DDD both from Torrid but different styles.    I have some DDD's that fit awesome and some that are a bit loose, but I measure a 46G. It's not wonder that 80% of women are wearing them wrong bra.

      I firmly believe I drank entirely to much for about 25 years. Got drunk every day. This was my coping mechanism to keep hiding deep inside that I was a woman. I miss a lot of signs over the years. Now I drink mabye 1 or 2 beers a day don't even get a buzz anymore. totally accept myself and on regret is that I hide that part of my self which  truly makes me happy being violet 💜. I wasted a lot of time before  being self destructive and had no clue I was just hiding th real me

      Hey, everyone. my life is going down the tubes. at least I think. So, today. A customer called about his car, I told him that the oil change was done. The parts to fix the check engine light are ordered. He can come and get it. For the weekend if he wants. Customer says I didn't want an oil change. it was check the engine light and check for an oil leak. Checking the work order says oil change. The boss wrote the vehicle up. checking with the customer on services wanted.   Being that I wrote down the appointment in the book. and clearly states oil leak. She is complaining because she can't read my small ish writing. It seems she read oil and assumed it as an oil change. It seems like she is blaming me.  She wound up going home because she was too upset. She is stressing about an eye problem she has, she has to get eye surgery it seems she has a tear in her eye.    I feel that I am short for this job. because of the BS they are blaming me on. Plus I am still upset about the trust issue. If either one of the bosses start their Shite tomorrow. I am walking out.

      "I love you so much,"  Lois said.  They met in the driveway. "I could not live without you." "Neither could I." "What are we going to do?" "Find another counselor?" "No. I think we need to solve this ourselves." "Do you think we can?" "I don't know.  But what I know is that I don't want to go through that again.  I think we have to hope we can find a solution." "Otherwise, despair." "Yeah.   Truce?" "Okay,  truce." And they hugged.   "When we know what we want we can figure out how to get there."   That began six years of angry battles, with Odie insisted he could dress as he pleased and Lois insisting it did not please her at all.  He told her she was not going to control him and she replied that she still had rights as a wife to a husband. Neither was willing to give in, neither was willing to quit, and their heated arguments ended in hugs and more.   They went to a Crossdressers' Club, where they hoped to meet other couples with the same problems, the same conflicts, and the same answers, if anyone had any.  It took them four tries before they settled on a group that they were both willing to participate in.  This was four couples their own age, each with a cross dressing husband and a wife who was dealing with it.  They met monthly.  It was led by a 'mediator' who wanted people to express how they felt about the situation.  Odie and Lois, as newcomers, got the floor, and the meeting was finally dismissed at 1:30 in the morning - it was supposed to be over at 10 - and everyone knew how they felt about the situation.   There was silence in the car on the way home.   "We aren't the only ones dealing with this." Odie finally said.   "Who would have thought that?  You are right."   "Somebody out there has a solution." "I hope you are right."   "I hope in hope, not in despair."   "That's my Odie."

      The counseling session was heated, if you could call it a counseling session.  Sometimes Lois felt he was on Odie's side, and sometimes on hers.  When he was on her side, Odie got defensive. She found herself being defensive when it seemed they were ganging up on each other.   "This is not working," Lois said angrily, and walked out.  "Never again. I want my husband back. Dr. Smith you are complicit in this."   "What?" said Odie.   The counselor looked at him.  "You will have to learn some listening skills."   "That is it? Listening skills?  You just destroyed my marriage, and you told me I need to learn listening skills?"   Dr. Smith said calmly,"I think you both need to cool off."   Odie looked at him and walked out, saying "And you call yourself a counselor."   "Wait a minute."   "No."
