What are you listening to?

My computer fans and blowers.
As of a few moments ago, Beethoven's third symphony, performed by Wilhelm Furtwangler and the Wiener Philharmoniker. Just prior to that, Amazing Grace, played (badly) by me on the guitar.

Hi,
This is my private station for Doo Wop 50's Rock & Roll @ Jango it's more like your own personal Jukebox than a radio station since you can choose what you like to listen too for free. Jango

First, Hey Jim! Good to see you on the boards again
 On to what I'm listening to. Well, there isn't much current that I listen to. Sadly, I keep waiting for that next band to "wow" me, but I've been listening to a lot of stuff from my teenage years. Stone Temple Pilots, Weezer, Everclear, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, and then side projects / current stuff from the same cast of characters. I also recently finished up my Johnny Cash collection picking up his last album that I didn't have that I wanted. American V.

Lately I've been listening to the pops channel on sirius/xm when I'm in the car. Also, I've been listening to Adele's a fair bit, and ummm... yeah that's about it I think.

Just prior to that, Amazing Grace, played (badly) by me on the guitar. The picture did not display for me. I will have to use my imagination. Unfortunately I could never quite get into rock. I did have a friend who was into Elvis, and she would bring his 45's over to my house to play them. That was when we were about six. Interestingly I read last night that Elvis recorded Amazing Grace, but I've not heard his rendition.

Can't say I miss it most of the time. Since we have already hijacked this thread into an old people's fest, does anyone have a good remedy for indigestion? Tonight I've been listening to gurglings from my abdomen in between waves of pain. I think I like Beethoven better. This afternoon I had an apple that had been at the bottom of my hydrator for about six months. Maybe that was a mistake. About to try some cinnamon tea to see what that sounds like. Hope I don't have to revise my signature.

Hi,
This does not sound good, you might have Food poisoning, 911 would be of little help except to order an Ambulance. I suggest you go to a local clinic or Emergency room. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-po...N=symptoms

I asked my son if by any chance he would love to come down and drive me to the hospital. Fortunately he did not seem to pick up the message. I say fortunately because now, three hours later, I am feeling a bit better. Not great, but better. I still have no idea what the problem is. I have only one symptom from the poisoning list. And I don't know if I was/am running a fever or not. The problem with 911 is they would take me to the wrong hospital. Which may, in some circumstances, be better than no hospital at all. Or it might not. They once misdiagnosed one friend's appendicitis and she nearly died.

A family member did that one fine day when he was sure he needed urgent medical assistance (he was right). Taxi drivers take you where you tell them to go. And, please post soon to let us know you are ok?

Ah, yes, but you have to pay them (assuming you can find one). If I had thought of a taxi last night I might have tried that option. I was pretty desperate. As a senior citizen I can get free medical transportation from the county but that stops at the county line. Which unfortunately does me little good. I *think* I am OK now, thanks. I had a rough night, actually about a rough fourteen hours. I never had a problem quite like this one. Around daybreak I felt something like a drain being unclogged and my colon started to fill up. I could actually feel it. My best guess now is that I had oatmeal (and apple) poisoning. Which sounds a bit strange, but there is a similar case documented here: Deadly Dinner Party I eat a lot of oats, raw and cooked, plus a lot of black beans. Maybe not a good idea. Too much soluable fiber can stop things up like cement according to the book I linked, which I read around a year ago. I never suspected my consumption might be in the pathological range. According to wikipedia someone with a bowel obstruction produces "tinkly bowel sounds". How nice. Though I think I prefer guitar.

Hi, Jim,
(03-26-2011, 04:07 AM)Jim Wrote: Hi Pete...Hi Magi. Yes, I have a station for each of those. Plus a few more I added yesterday. I don't think you can get to the page they're on since it's my profile, but I'll see if there's a way I can link and share through FaceBook (I'll try that later, when I've got some time). For Pandora, Frag gave the link: (03-25-2011, 09:14 PM)Frag Wrote: http://www.pandora.com/ It is a free service (there's also a pay option, but I haven't tried it), and you get about 1 or 2 short ads an hour. Except for the unevenness in the volume between one piece and the next, it is a great service. Not only can you set up a 'station' for each genre/artist/piece that you want to, you can make personalized mixes of stations. And the default 'quick mix' is basically everything you picked all at once. Also, you can 'like' or 'dislike' any particular piece. 'Like' means that you'll hear it more often and more similar pieces. 'Unlike' means you'll never hear it again. There are other capabilities I haven't played with. One of the reasons I like Pandora is that I have it on my computers, my TiVo, and my Palm Pre. I can listen to what I like pretty much everywhere, and it sounds 'real good' through my home system. EDIT: There's some problem with Flash 10 that keeps Pandora from interfacing with FaceBook, or so says Pandora when I tried it. Supposedly, it's being worked on.

Your first post had me worried, so I skipped down to this one and was relieved that it seems over. Not really my business, but: you should get that checked out, it could be nothing, it could be an early symptom of any number of intestinal problems. Many of them can be controlled even without medication once diagnosed. In any event, I'm thinking good thoughts for you -- which probably will not help you at all, but it makes me feel better. --Pete How big was the aquarium in Noah's ark?
