Group .... we're a tad short of 20,000 posts. Some slackers overnight ....

oh well ... we can work on that for the next 30 days ....

I'm happy to hear that the plan is for you guys to continue for the next 30 days. I have really started to enjoy eavesdropping on all the witty banter that goes on around here. Just consider me the fly on the wall. Lol!

I'm here for all the photography.

The news is always depressing: airplane + helicopter crash in Frederick, MD and multiple cases of viral meningitis at UMD. The last one doesn't surprise me, though; They seem to get a case or two every few years. I got the shot for it before I started classes.

You just have to stop watching so much news. It's depressing and at the end of the day these are all unfortunate things that are out of your control. I used to watch all the time and was miserable. Once I came to the realization there was little to nothing I could do about it I cut way back. It's so much nicer. Now I just watch enough to be informed. The media is 90% negative and who needs all that in their lives?

The news conversation has left this song in my brain to haunt me for the rest of the day:



"I read the news today, oh boy!"

And the Ebola. Don't forget the Ebola.

And sometimes the quality of the voices triggers the misophonia pretty bad and I have to turn off the radio or television.

Would you look at that. I learned a new word!

Yes,it is. Better hurry up and get it . . . it might not last!

Huh. They were probably better before they made the trip for your place to mine, but mine tastes an awful lot like a brown-sugar cinnamon pop tart.
Not to say those aren't good--just not compared to a cinnamon roll.

I think of it more like cafe TPF. Friendly and casual conversation with a tasty beverage in hand.

Is it bad that I get morning news from the Howard Stern show?

There really isn't a reliable US based news source anymore. You want the news delivered as unbiased as possible? Listen to the BBC. All the big US sources seem to be tainted one direction or the other.

I read the BBC website fairly often.

I don't process information as well when I'm listening so I end up tuning out sometimes or missing something and getting distracted because I'm trying to figure out what I missed. And sometimes the quality of the voices triggers the misophonia pretty bad and I have to turn off the radio or television.

I need words or visual information.

I have a very mild case of misophonia; just certain noises that keep going and, like you mention, a certain quality to a person's voice that can trigger it for me. Unfortunately, my office is right next to one of those "trigger" voices, and even though we have actual offices with walls, he's so loud that once it triggers, I cannot possibly tune him out.

My sister, one of my nieces and an aunt all have pretty major cases--they have a LOT of trigger noises, even the sound of someone chewing (WITH their mouth closed!).
I know, from my mild episodes, how annoying it has to be to deal with that much of the time--but it's also annoying as all-get-out being around people who think your breathing is too loud.
