    Is it true that Starbucks ice coffee has caffine?   If so should I put my cup in the fridge or the freezer so I can get some sleep tonight?

    Yes. :-)  Putting the cup in the refrigerator does not work.  You just take it right back out again.

    true but it is less tempting than keeping it on my desk while I am on the computer.

    One more adventure this year and perhaps all of next year.  Medical problems are creeping up and I have to prepare for major expenses next month and later in the winter.  Paying off two surgerys and perhaps 3 or more will take dicipline. sad  However, I'm treating myself to one more symphony concert before I have to get seriously tied up.  Looking forward to being at the Kleinhan's Music Hall in Buffalo on a Sunday afternoon in October.  An all Tchaikovsky concert.  "Sleeping Beauty Suite", "3rd Piano Concerto" and his "5th Symphony".  Rain I can deal with and hopefully it's early enough in the season to avoid snow.  That's the problem with symphonies in the north in winter, you can't plan on the weather not screwing you up. I hate to waste event tickets.   And being of the ancient persuasion I have night vision problems so if I go to an evening performance farther away than 50 miles I don't feel safe driving home at night and have to make it an overnighter with all the expense that entails. frown  Sunday afternoon in October sounds just perfect.smiley

    Tchaikovsky 5th Symphony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQzc9c4LOHM  Yeah, slow at the beginning, but believe me, it builds!!

          2nd movement @ 14:08

          3rd movement @ 27:00

          4th movement @ 32:50  a grand Tchaikovsky finish!  Wonderful examples of swells in this movement.

    Right.  :-)  I don't bring coffee next to the computer.  No need to sizzle wires.

    ...killed a notebook computer many years ago when I accidentally knocked a glass of fume blanc on it. Some got into the fan intake and thus was distributed around the entire innards. As the HDD was removable, what was on it was saved.   Fortunately it was a used one so it didn't cost very much.

    When will I learn that I should not drink ice coffee after five pm?

    OMG, somebody remembered my last debacle.blush  Yes, parking will be fine.  Buffalo isn't as crowded as Pittsburgh and the football stadium is nowhere near the concert hall.   But still I'm going a couple hours early just be be sure.  I've gotten good at sitting and crowd watching.  Saves wear and tear on my cane. surprise

    I think I need to go to bed.

     

    I was trying to get eggies on Dragon Cave's site, when I came across an ad for Izabella 7 from a site called Daz3d.  It says it is Genesis 3.  The ad is static and does not mention what software is needed and if Izabella is free or not.  I decided to click on the ad and got the second screenshot.  I do not want to buy Izabella 7 so why would the ad show Izabella when I have no interest in buying her?

     

    I am going to get off the computer asap and get into bed.

    Here is my two boyfriends.  Edward is kinda fishy.  Oscar lives with my mum.  I think I need a better boyfriend who hopefully has a job.

    And I almost forgot Brett.  He is also a little fishy

     

    Brett is now in a different home now and his pool is less cloudy.

    I get email ads from various symphonies in this region.  (Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo, Toronto).  I'd love to go but most are evening performances and too far away.  I keep track of the live performances I've seen and have a mental wishlist of masterworks I'd love to hear live.  Today I got an advertisement for the Sibelius 2nd Symphony in Cleveland Sept. 29th.  It's high on my wishlist but it's an evening performance and Cleveland is 120 miles away requiring a hotel stay.  Unfortunately, finding a safe hotel near the concert hall (Severance Hall) is expensive ($$$) and I still have to drive 10 miles into the city from the hotel.  Also unfortunately, the program also includes two other pieces I have zero interest in.  I would love to go to hear the Sibelius 2nd Symphony but the ducks aren't in a row for me.  I'll satisfy my itch with my Buffalo trip a couple weeks later.

    But the Sibelius 2nd Symphony is wonderful.  The final movement always sends chills up my spine when the deep horn and bass string notes rattle the windows.  It makes a sound like those long horns in the mountains of Nepal amid screaming Scandanavian winds and majestic mountain views.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAOf46CXaaw  my spine tingling moments start building @ 34:50 and again @ 43:43 and again from 47:00 to the end (speakers with lots of bass help)  (watch Leonard Bernstein literally jump around on the podium laugh)

    Oops, edited to get the correct link to YouTube.
