Glass [chat]monica

The glass harmonica is a musical instrument invented by Benjamin Franklin, who was inspired by the practice of making music with drinking glasses. It creates eerie and ethereal music that is rumored to drive people insane.
There may be various reasons for the scarcity of [glass harmonica] players, principally the almost universally shared opinion that playing it is damaging to the health, that it excessively stimulates the nerves, plunges the player into a nagging depression and hence into a dark and melancholy mood, that it is an apt method for slow self-annihilation… Many (physicians with whom I have discussed this matter) say the sharp penetrating tone runs like a spark through the entire nervous system, forcibly shaking it up and causing nervous disorders.

If you are suffering from any nervous disorder you should not play it
If you are not yet ill you should not play it excessively
If you are feeling melancholy you should not play it or else play uplifting pieces
If tired, avoid playing it late at night.

    Doge chat. Here's my idea, someone may use:

    "What breed is my [chat]?"

    Chatters to start off with doge pics and breed guesses.

    OPERATION SPRING CLEANING PROGRESS REPORT:

    this winter I had plumbing problems that stopped one of my toilets from working for a couple of weeks and in that time it accrued...stain. The plumbing issue was fixed and I went at the thing with toilet bowl cleaner in increasingly powerful concentrations but while they got the worst of it there was this gross residue at the very bottom of the bowl that just would not admit to any cleaning substance or technique on earth, even when I tried draining the thing entirely to chisel away at the residue by hand with a razor. I was starting to think that maybe it was just time to replace the entire bowl.

    But a new challenger has appeared.

    Its name is motherfucking hydrochloric acid and the demons of stain flee from it like vampires from the sun. My once-befouled toilet bowl is now fit to baptize the Christ child itself in.

    It's symbolic. If the commode is pristine, then surely everything else is, too.

    just like

    you get splashback sometimes

    we all do

    now usually that's just water

    not that you'd want to drink it or anything but it's no worse than what's coming out of you at the moment

    but if the bowl isn't clean

    This week of work has drained all my energy to play anything. So I am just watching shows.

    I am hoping the iron infusion on Monday starts kicking in. But I know rebuilding hemoglobin is a multiweek process.
