    Musical Meltdown seeking solution

    Thanks everyone for your input. I feel that good in ear plugs would be worth it. I've always been of the opinion that you get what you pay for, and so all of my equipment is top of the range. I don't mind paying, as a few gigs would cover the cost, I was just unsure if they would do the trick or...

    Thanks, a good suggestion, but my amp is a bit old for bluetooth.

    Musical Meltdown seeking solution

    I'm hoping that other musicians might be able to offer some advice or experience. Yesterday while performing my 2nd gig with my new music partner, all was going well until some kids of about 7 years old starting banging huge jenga blocks, maybe as percussion, it was so loud that I had a...

    AI vs. CAPTCHA: The New Arms Race...?

    Usabilty vs security is always a problem. I like the one that TikTok uses where you have to rotate the inside of a picture to make it correct. I didn't read if that one can be broken by AI.

    Is it only Aspies who remember birthdays?

    This is definitely a rhetorical question, as the answer is Yes, without a doubt. But since Facebook has been telling people when their friend's birthdays are people (NTs) just don't have a clue. Ok, it's my birthday today and only my daughter remembered. Like many of us, I don't have many close...

    🔧I thought that the wrench response-emoji was people calling the poster a tool/idiot.

    In Australia we have a hardware (DIY) store called Total Tools. I always laugh when I see it or someone wearing one of their T-shirts.

    Aspie meets Aspie

    I nervously rehearsed with a new singer this week. It went so well, there was a strange but welcome familiarity. After emailing our thoughts on the possible future of our venture we discovered that we were both neurodivergent! We now need to build our repertoire and find places to play. I will...

    Trying to decide whether to apply for a job

    I think putting it down in writing like this is a very positive step, if only to help you see things as clearly as possible. I decided to not take a really great job which would have required staying in rented accommodation during the week and coming home on weekends and I regret it to this day...

    Antidepressant for Social Avoidance/Anxiety?

    I had extreme anxiety when I started a new job as a teacher at age 55. It was very scary! My GP started me on an anti-depressant (forgot name) which didn't work, but then he prescribed an SSRI (Zoloft) and this really did the trick for my 3 years of teaching before I had to leave. It then took...

    That Time of Year Again

    I'm tempted to say "Bah Humbug!". My son and daughter both live in different parts of the world so I don't celebrate Xmas. As mentioned in a previous post, I started playing guitar for a dementia choir and we have started to learn some Christmas carols to sing in nursing homes, which will give a...
