Matter of fact. I have been listening to a Heavy Metal band that sings a remake of the old song 'Shout'. You know, Shout, Shout, Let it all out' <P>I crank up the Truck sound system until I can't hear myself SHOUT over the music. AND I SCREAM at the top of my lung capacity. I love looking at all the people watching me as I thump the bass and have it bounce off cars next to me. <P>

sisyphus: All I can say is it was just one of <B>those</B> weekends where my little roller coaster from **ll hit bottom again. Went to bed last night thinking and woke up with a very complex word on my brain.....WHY?<P>Tex: Would you happen to be listening to "Disturbed" when you mentioned the old Tears for Fears song?

I agree.<P>The louder the better [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>You gotta love when the bass is kicking and other drivers don't have a clue where it's coming from. Last vehicle they would suspect would be a truck too!

I have to wonder whether thumping bass wasn't an <I>annoying habit</I> that got you guys in trouble with the wives ... geez, mine couldn't even stand Rush Limbaugh. I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd spent money on seismic speakers and gotten the <I>Led</I> out!

When you are hearing impaired, sometimes feeling the vibrations of the deep bass is the only way one can enjoy the music. <P>BTW, bass had nothing to do with my divorce.<p>[This message has been edited by Jayhawk 93 (edited January 29, 2001).]

Its cool when I have my 9YOD in the truck with me and the music is cranked and I look over and see her head bobbing to the music. And playing a pretty good air guitar I might add. <P>Now, If I could only turn that energy into her wanting to take a bath when I have her for the weekend, I think life would be a litle more complete.. HeHeHeHe LOL.. <P>

First things first:<P>{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Jayhawk}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<BR>{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Jayhawk}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}<P>Are you beginning to feel like me:will this EVER end?? Will I EVER get better? It's a damn long process, isn't it?<P>Well, I'm sorry to hear that your weekend was a toughie. I personally find that blasting the music as loud as I want to does have healing qualities. Yes, it's a little juvenile, but it's one of the "Things I Enjoy While Living Alone". Remember that thread? Maybe we should revive it!<P>Hope you feel better, and buddy I have news for you--there is no reasonable reason "why". I think that's the part that sucks the worst. It's not understandable, and that's hard. <P>Love ya!<P><BR>CJ <P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

Maybe we can harmonize on the angst. . . <P>Yucky day here too. I took the day off of work--set the kids up with some crazy subsitute teacher, I'm sure, and let them drive her crazy for a day. Sometimes I think I've got it all down, and WHAM! I am sucking down McDonald's fries and crying over the Christopher Lowell show. <P>What a waste. <P>LOL [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P><BR>{{Jayhawk}}<P>

gsd,<P>I think it's just been a crappy weekend for lots of us!<P>If you ever feel like harmonizing "off the record" you can always get me at jhawk93@kc.rr.com <P>And for you curious folks, I am not hearing impaired, but once knew of someone who was and could only enjoy music by the vibrations.

Jayhawk,<P>I know what you mean!!! Decided to go out with old friends over the weekend and discovered that while they will forever be my best friends, it just is not as much fun as it used to be. Then again when we used to go out, it was always "on the hunt" for the females. Now I am one of the only "single" ones in our group left. And even being single, I am no longer looking to "hook-up".<P>I guess it might be time to hang up the party hat, or at least not try to put the same one on I wore all those years ago.<P>On a positive note: I got an email from her today - It was actually a joke someone sent her! Nothing about "us" or our divorce. First time that has happened in about 6 months. It just amazes me how the "little" things now take on so much meaning.<P>Take care!<BR>Mike<P>------------------<BR>God always waits for the right time to do the right thing in the right way.<p>[This message has been edited by SoTired2000 (edited January 29, 2001).]

Hey....we gals from Oregon (living in Hawaii) can get into rockin' out too! Sometimes it's the only thing that really works....<P>I pumped up the song "You Don't Own Me" from the First Wives Club the other day in the car and had it on repeat for my whole drive to work (50 minutes). You'd think I'd get sick of it....but I did it again on the way home!<P>Felt soooooo goooooood!<P>Aloha,<BR>Mrs.O<BR>

What a great idea, Mrs. O. I haven't heard that song, but playing music loud in the car is helpful! I kind of did that once with Kyrie" by that 80's group I cna't remember <P>This morning, though, I found myself singing "Something in the Way She Moves" by James Taylor. My ex sung that to me when we were dating and at our wedding reception. I didn't even know what I was singing until I was at the conditioner/rinse stage! Then I couldn't get it out of my head!!

I can really tell that only people who are getting divorced can understand how we feel. When I read your posts its nice to know that we all understand our feelings. Friends and family really dont understand the ups and downs that we have. But when I read your posts I see that we are all feeling the same things. One day good.....Next day bad. Its tough to handle sometimes. Then you have that big question WHY??????? <P>I suppose that the reason this board isnt completely overun with divorced people from years past is because you can and do get through this with time. But until that comes its really nice to be able to talk with others that are in the same BOAT!!!!
