My boss mentioned she wasn't feeling well today, and her second-in-command laughed at her. I didn't understand, considering we're supposed to stay home if we have flu-like symptoms.

Then someone else gave me a St. Patrick's day hat to return to her.

I get it now.

I just got a tin whistle and I want to learn and play the gently caress out of it this weekend

I'm keenly aware that you've had that tin whistle for literally years, but haven't played much.

Which song did you learn? I will try to pick it up this weekend, and together you and I will stop procrastinating and find some time in between our busy lives and clingy families to begin our whistling journey.

Anyone else is welcome to get on board!

Amazing Grace. It came with a book of some songs with like.... whistle tabs. It's pretty neat.

Now we just need some more goons to get a bodhran, maybe a mandolin or fiddle, and we got ourselves an Irish band.

*whew!* That one doesn't look to bad. Okay, I'll try it out and I'll post my embarrassing results in a Friday or two.

I AM EXCITED TO SEE YOUR RENDITION TOO, PENNYWISE THE FROWN

Thanks! I've never really played an instrument or made a youtube, and both are really fun, even if I can only practice a few minutes a day in between work and dealing with a fussy child.

Tin Whistles are super cheap too. I highly recommend getting one and trying it out. It complements drinking/pub life, and is very fitting for a Friday thread.

I posted this in the selfie thread so have this until I get the motivation to record myself. It's just me playing (most of) No Rain from Blind Melon. A little over a month ago. First video I've ever recorded of myself playing anything besides being in a band in the early-mid 2000s.

lmao I didn't know you were a full-blown musician, I thought you were just a dork like me who had a tin whistle lying around because ~~he's~~ I'm too poor to have a real midlife crisis

I have an Irish family and we were at Irish Fest (at the Summerfest grounds in Milwaukee) which is probably the biggest Irish Fest in the country, probably world. My mom and I went with other family members and we did the mass in the morning. They have a big Catholic arch dioses or something, I don't know how that stuff works, I just do it for my mom. You get in free if you come in the morning with canned goods for a food pantry. We did that and then proceeded to get drunk off of mead and watched a bunch of Irish bands. I saw a gift shop and they had a little tin whistle package. It was maybe $15. It's a really really cheap one and if you blow just slightly too hard it squeaks really loudly. If I learn how to play some more I might look into getting a better one. But I'd rather be able to play more than one song to justify the purchase.

That sounds like an awesome time. I miss pre-pandemic stuff like that.

Yeah, the no-name whistles are a bit harsh on the ears in the higher octaves�my preschooler has one and it'll makes your ears ring. You can pick up some very decent tin whistles for $15 USD though (Clarke, Fead�g, Generation), even off Amazon.

Buy a tin whistles you bastards. They're easy to learn!

The way I understand it

Tylenol (Acetaminophen) hurts your liver
Advil/Motrin/Aleve (Ibuprofen/Naproxen/other NSAIDs) eat at your stomach

Generally Tylenol is the safer option, however if you mix it with alcohol, it goes from hurting your liver a little, to really loving it up. NSAIDs might be better when your pain is being caused by inflammation. I could be yaking outta my arse.

But the real answer is to mix them, because apparently taking one of each is more effective than doubling either. :pseudo:

Edit: VVV Nevermind, that's the real answer VVV
