I got the sudden urge to buy a ukulele and learn to play it :zoinks:

I actually have two of them. One is a standard Uke (which my daughter has beaten half way to shit over the years) and the other is a baritone uke, which is much easier for me to play with my frankfurter sized fingers.

I have teeny hands and fingers so it might be the instrument for me :)

That, or possibly, a mandolin.


The most important thing is, if you really want this for yourself, NEVER give up.

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I know how to play the mandolin.

Awesome!!!

I really wish that I could.


I know dozens of alternate tunings, creating many one fingered chords and then arpeggiating upon those chords is like following a math table - so fun!


... but I can not keep a steady rhythm.



Strings remain within one of the realms of fantasy for me.

The mandolin is tuned in the same way as the violin, which I've played since I was a kid. My father had two mandolins so I learned them too.

It's Facebook; why are people getting so hung up on it?
"I don't know if I should delete my Facebook!"
"I hate Facebook yet it draws me in with a strangely compelling power, helpplz?"

Do these people also want to know what to eat for breakfast, and whether or not they should wipe after going potty?

I have Facebook and I keep getting emails from it saying I haven't been on it for ages. It think it is all right but I can never think of anything to write on my status update. Some people will write anything they can think of on theirs though. More suited to Twitter then.

I haven't been on my Twitter account much in ages. This place has eclipsed all other sites for me.  :autism:

Arrrggghhh!  Why are most bras my size white or pastel colored?  I know they're small but I'm old enough (and some change) that I can havre a bra in a 'seductive' color and not have it be creepy!  It's not like I'm looking for training bras!!!   >:(

I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.
