I've stopped affecting the weather, I'm happy to say. I think I come away with a better understanding for the pressure my sister must have felt. It is not an easy gift to control, you must first be in control of your own emotions.

My own gift has not returned. I don't know what that means. ~~I never thought that I'd miss~~

	Huh. Good to know, thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hopefully it wont disorient you too much. Being normal, even for just a little bit, can be weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is the definition of be careful what you wish for. It's really quiet and I hate it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've been there, and it's awful. I would swap with you, so you wouldn't have to go through it, but being my grade of freak is not anything I'd wish on anybody. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would have said just the same thing, and yet... Oh, well. I should try to enjoy the peace while it lasts, if at all possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it gets too quiet the TV might help. Or you could use youtube on your phone. A very good friend turned my on to the band Halestorm when I was going crazy without my powers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yes, I am no stranger to the television, but I don't know what a youtube is. Dan Torrance has given me a lot of music, and headphones. I usually use it to drown out the noise, I never thought I'd be doing it to drown out silence. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Youtube is a website, or an application like the camera on your phone. Do you know how to use the internet? Space is a quiet place. More than most realize, and they wont ever realize. Only people like you ~~and me~~will realize just how quiet it is when your gift is silent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not very well! Well. I’ll survive. I’d moved to wheel 2 to get away from the noise, ironically. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, you just have to be able to know how to open the program that brings it up. If you can do that there's a space at the top where you can type in stuff, just type in www.youtube.com, and press go. And after that it should open the page, and at the top of that page is a 'search bar' signified with a magnifying glass. You can search for songs from Columbia if you like.

I don't doubt you will. But I can't help that I want to try to make it as easy as possible to endure. As I said before, you deserve to be praised and exalted, I haven't changed my mind.

	Okay! Thank you, I will give it a try. You're way too nice to me. I haven't done anything that amazing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	maryanne_walker 2022-04-08 03:27 am UTC (link)
	You might even be able to find tv shows, if the networks kept recordings, or a random person somewhere in the country kept a recording, it'll probably be on youtube. You don't have to do anything amazing, because you are amazing. You're a kind, warm person, and that is enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh yes, I have been watching telenovelas already. I love the melodrama! ~~And it's a lot better than the rats acting out~~ Well. Thank you. I'm glad you think so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	From what I understand they're supposed to be a lot better than American Soap Operas. Makes me wish I were young enough to take Spanish. ~~They seem safe~~ I'm positive I'm not the only one, Bruno. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I haven’t seen any American ones to compare, but they are really addictive. Like you know the plot is ridiculous, but at the same time you really must know what happens!

Well, you are not too old to learn. I can teach you, if you would like. And in the meantime, there must be a way to get subtitles because I got Leyton watching them too.

I know, it just takes some getting used to.

If you want to compare look for Guiding light, as the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, or the Young and the Restless. They mostly rehash old storylines every decade or so, but those where my Grandmothers 'stories'. I know one time I was at her house, and only somewhat paying attention, I guess one actor quit and they replaced him so the character had a really bad accident and had to get total face reconstructive surgery.

Really?? Is there anything I can do to repay you? I used to teach music class, and currently only have one student. Or I used to teach Dance class too.

I kinda know how that feels.

	Thank you! They will keep me very busy. That is ridiculous and I love it! Oh, a skill swap, very fun. What kind of music do you teach? I thought you might. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You're welcome, there are more, I think, but those are the only ones I got at least a glimpse of. It is! I was sitting trying to learn how to sew better, and it was enough to make me stop and gasp.

Well, I mostly teach string instruments, but if you don't know how to read music I can teach you both clefs and if you want to learn a woodwind, brass instrument, or drums that might have to fall to one of my kiddos.

	Oh yes, very distracting! I approve wholeheartedly. I don't know how to read music, no. I have no preference, whatever you think would suit me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A little harmless ~~vicarious~~ romance doesn't hurt. I have quite the collection of instruments at the ready, we can test a few and go with whatever feels good to you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
