Well I can't speak for everybody, but...one reason it may start a back and forth is because we are already suffering in a crappy pattern--that’s the here and now reality. So now here comes someone not just occasionally, but EVERY day every post remind us it's not just crappy now but will be crappy in the future. I don't dispute your stats and I don't have THAT many arguments...but again we are suffering here, and the EVERYDAY reminder of a potential crappy future ain't helping the vibe in here like at all. The crappy present is enough to deal with on it's own, lol

This. And honestly, for me, it ain't even have an issue with the numbers/stats about how things have changed...it looks like they have--unpleasant but legit observation. Fine-- But when it's repeated over and over and over and over day after day--when things in the here and now are already crappy, what does that help? Yes, things aren't the same...we got that. But like...when we sittin' in a crappy snow drought, who honestly wants to see 5 long posts, EVERY day, not just about how it is now but how it'll potentially be worse in the FUTURE? Bad for the vibe. Informative, numbers driven (all fine by themselves), but for right now? Salt in the wound, imo May be more peaceful if we had a few doses less of those posts.

0z GEFS SE ridgey looking more flatty again See if we can get a trend going...

Do you still play Pokémon Go?

What the frickle happened? Lol

Don't make me pull out Vivaldi's Winter on you

You must something of a classical music nerd--ya nailed the date (I'm actually mad I didn't know that off-hand, lol)

I'm starting to wonder whether the period after D10 might be the time to look at to see if we can get a change...(or if whatever happens D10 can lead to something). I mean ain't no promises, of course...just wondering.

Hey look Handel's water music!

Ya responded to that comment with this? Lol

Ya can't Tellamann his instrument isn't attractive and not expect a comeBach

How could I have responded better? Felt I had to defend myself

I didn't think it was. I thought he set out to insult me in humiliating fashion because I mocked his "Go back to the piano dude" comment the other day (which I thought was unwarranted) by saying "Go back to the guitar". He got me back with a good humiliation with that response, so I gotta give him credit lol

Dang that was humiliating...I knew my go back to the guitar snap back was gonna backfire somehow, lol

Man we at 0.0" of snow right now--there ain't no rails till we get a flake, lol This oughta be the wild west till' we do!

Lol BTW I was just mentioning probably the most famous "girl heart throb" pianist being Franz Liszt, lol

More I think about it...actually pretty well. Just the other day in fact...got the attention of one of the aides (young) at a school gig as I was just playing around with a song on the keyboard. There have been a couple other instances. So attraction is quite relative...only thing this proves is stereotypes that aren't really true. For some women playing an instrument at all can be an attraction, for some not so much. It all depends.

Not true. I know three--two married (not to cats but actual women) and one getting close. Not true at all. So @Jiya couldn't be more wrong

So do I...I just don't get that stereo type of piano players not finding love. I mean that is so far from the truth

I know this is banter but don't really care since there's not much pleasant to talk about... @Ji Guess who one of the first pop star musicians (the kind women fawned over) who drew crowds was? A PIANIST--Franz Liszt. And you can go down the list...that stereotype is just not true. Got two friends that are pianists...Nah three! Two married, and one getting close to be.

You didn't have to go there. I was just sayin' what you said to me but I probably shouldn't have--if that offended I apologize

Go back to the guitar, Ji

But hearing it won't snow doesn't lessen your enthusiasm for weather, despite snow being what got ya interested in the first place?

Man I was about to say the same thing, lol Met habits!

Real question: So, with little payoff so far, and if things are indeed getting worse...then why do you do this hobby? Just for the science or? (I actually wonder about that for others here as well).
