In response to "Day One: Carol of the Bells, by Simply Three"

It's the "Ding, fries are done!" song.

It's also arguably *the* most popular recital song that all our kiddos want to learn this time of year on their various instruments.

I'm 71 (and still going strong, I might add). But in one phase of my life, I spent 13 years in the Army. One thing I learned from those years that I always remember is "Rest is a weapon."

I try and remember that doing nothing IS something. Don't underestimate to power a little rest will have on you. I'm glad you have some downtime.

I recently bought an iPad (used or refurbished or maybe, broken in?) and it'a been very helpful in designing crochet patterns and using as a Kindle, but I still prefer the old destop for writing - even though I am on a laptop right now. I never knew I needed an iPad, but I definitely do now.

It's nice that you have found your niche, a place to call your online home. WDC is good at spurring us to write more than we thought we could. Congratulations on your achievements!

In response to "Royals, by Lorde"

I sit in silence. I rarely have music in the background... almost never at home. I don't listen to the radio... except last night. A friend hosts a show on KSVR out of Washington state. I listened on Radio.Garden. She chose some songs well-known in English... but sung in French. I really enjoyed that.

In response to "Humor Advice from ChatGPT"

This. This is exactly why I'm pro-AI. Of course it's foolish to post a generated story as your own, or even a generated section. But the suggestions the AI made sound like a brainstorming idea I'll have with a couple writer friends in real life. If we get stumped, we'll throw ideas about the story at each other. AI can be an excellent tool if used properly. Lately I've been using AI to help me make dinner. I tell it the ingredients I have on hand, it will suggest certain dishes... if it suggests something I don't have an ingredient for, I'll say so, and it will recommend substitutions based on what I do have. And I have making some great food with its assistance lol

I have no secular point of view on this subject. I love you used the reference from Ephesians. I am learning to enjoy other people's gardens or just what was left the way God planted it in the first place. What I do know is I love the way you write. I can read your words any time any where with smiles, tears, laughter and joy. You have a beautiful soul!

I don't worry about ETs or UFOs. I wish them well.

I use to have a garden to tend.

I only have houseplants now.

In response to "Of Extraterrestrials"

Personally speaking, I do not believe in the popular conception of alien life. Though angels, cherubim and seraphim seem like a different kind of alien.No one saw a flying saucer before the age of Sci Fi, before that it was all about angels, demons and ghosts... Scientifically speaking you mentioned a whole bunch of God incidences which make a possible context for life on this planet but then so also the Drake equation ( counting alien civilisations) assumes that the spontaneous emergence of life ( abiogenesis) occurs in nature and without Divine assistance. There is zero evidence for that making the discussion of alien life a theological one. But the bible is silent on this one and our travels so far into space have revealed only magnificent desolation.

A very impressive journey! These kind of prompts are the best way to learn about fellow members.

I love the way you set each bullet in a very visual way. I'm extremely impressed with your 10th bullet. I don't know anyone else with that level of commitment to those contests. Congrats on your successes.

Day One: Carol of the Bells, by Simply Three

Well, well, it's that time of year again, when Xmas music reigns supreme and we turn to our favorites to distract from the junk noise surrounding us. I'll begin with an instrumental rendition of Carol of the Bells by Simply Three: a cello, a violin and a bass (violin.)

The melody of Carol of the Bells has always fascinated me. I never knew what it was as a kid, and it was one of those songs that took me years to track down. The lyrics are rather brainless and syncopated, serving only to bounce off the musical melody and set the Christmas tone. I prefer it without. Depending on the production, it can feel hypnotic, soothing, mysterious, or unnerving.

The Simply Three rendition comes from their Lux holiday album, released in 2021. This album has a distinctive edginess to the style, approaching classic songs with a fresh flair. Indeed, sometimes it can be over the top weird.

I'm not even sure how I ended up with this particular version… Surely there's a more elegant one I could have chosen! It begins quietly, ominously, then builds up to a rapid, looping repeat, with throbbing bass clashes and a downright manic depravity about the hook, then draws to a close with surprisingly little resolution. The more I listen to it, the less I like it. I should use my 90 days of free Amazon Music Premium to look for some fresh Christmas music. My playlist is getting stale.

Enjoy, if you can. Quite frankly, I don't recommend it.
