Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

To say I dont like Alice Cooper is to give it more feeling than I ever had. @TAB Now I can say I liked You and Me more than Down in a Hole, but the latter might reflect where you are atm. I can certainly relate to being down and out.

I had a sound engineer mate and did front of house for some metal heads, he thought I would fit cos I rode bike and wore leather jacket. I did not talk about Bach to them ...lol ... and watched him at sound desk.

I had a few gf in teen years, most older and out of school hours. One was into Christian songs and I played organ and did weddings in a church youth group. The other was into Italian crooners and we had lots of paying jobs together. The Alice Cooper fan who I met in beginning of year 7 brought him up to my son a few years ago about going to a concert. I figured he was probably dead, but no apparently some rockers survive and he is touring next year. Must be partly the good woman beind him ...

Just a whole lot of mismatches different people different backgrounds different interests. They all had strong opinions. So did mum. I learned not have one as that would have really caused problems.

I am really enjoying entering the German Heartland of Flying Dutchmen ... atm ... enjoying it as much as I enjoyed dancing at my first rock and roll at the local community centre ... having to overlook his antisemitism, but my half jewish current gf cant ... so tho she has been to lots of my concerts and loves opera ... she will pass on that ... still I am having a good time.

Re: Night Shift

So dry .. @apfel @Appleblossom yeah you hate it. Ok. Was just throwing it out there re musicality. Ugh re crooners and Italian ones. As kids searching thru trunks in car shed on farm found mums mario lanza 78s.. oh also 13 years worth of the Australian newspaper for some reason, well seeing moon landing when wasn’t quite so traumatic ie grade2 maybe and headmaster drove me home as was stranded at school when everyone else left somehow. Then driven to father’s bosses place to see blurry tv pics.
Anyway you’ve got a guy sounds. Hope it works. Ive made really poor choices too or was that succumbed to others who had own Plan. Who Knows.
