>> With a winning smile, that might do it?
I suspect (but don't know) that a winning smile from Free may do it better than one from me.
I could say, 'I'm from Australia. We're your loyal allies.'

IIRC, hers didn't work at all.

But, here's where you're wrong. My winning smile has sort of "worked".
I have become a caricature of myself.
And the "shame is exquisite"...

I have one.. donated to me by a friend of my daughter's who was upgrading. I haven't used it though. I thought I would.. but I haven't.

>Hi Solstice,
I had mine for long time, too, before I used it. You should try it once.
Like any other high-tech gizmos, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.
I love mine. :)

That's where I get booted out of the casino.
I say 'Oh, we don't have flags. Flags are so impossibly vulgar'.

I always imagined myself lead singer or drums.

Someone on Babble went to an all day drumming workshop and he said it was the best thing he'd ever done.

Are you able to give presentations to large groups of people? Do you like to?

Yes, I have no problem doing so. My anxiety condition is completely unrelated to reality - I lose it in grocery stores, in my car, in my home... put me in front of a bunch of strangers and I am fine.

The aisles in grocery stores are very threatening.
You can't just turn around and go back without a good excuse.

Do you listen to music in the bathroom? Why or why not?

> Do you listen to music in the bathroom? Why or why not?
You don't say *who* has to be in the bathroom with the music - so I'll say that Yes - I listen to music while my daughter is in the bathroom. She has a gifted singing voice - perfect pitch - just unbelievable vocals. She started out singing and playing the piano as a toddler. At age 6 - someone (not me) introduced her to Elvis and it didn't take long for her to know every lyric of every song. She planned on marrying him (too young to understand the permanence of death:-) She's into old stuff. At a concert in jr. high she sang a solo - Ella Fitzgerald's "I Won't Dance" ... and she loves Corine Bailey Rae.. Eartha Kitt... and the like. Very eclectic music style. pretty much avoids what's *new* and *popular*. To my dismay, she will sing anytime, anywhere - for anybody but me :-( I think it's just because I'm Mom. Her voice has always made my heart beat fast... she's never had to fear me disapproving. So the only time I get to hear her is while she's in the shower (she thinks no one can hear). I've actually got quite a few recordings of her heart-stopping voice - - mixed in with the 'rain' of the shower hitting the tub floor!
So yes, I listen to music that comes from the bathroom :-)

Yes, but only if I'm passionate about it.
Otherwise, like Sid, I pretend to be someone else to get through it.

My favourite shower was on Stradbroke Island. It only had one of those half doors, so you could see over the top. What you got to see was the green grass until the land fell away at the cliff, and beyond it was the endless Pacific Ocean.

And I take it, Sigi.. that what you saw 'sounded' like a symphony :-)

It's so long ago now, I can't be sure if there was hot water. I imagine not. And almost no one around, certainly not between you and the view. It was so basic and so beautiful.

Now of course humans have done their thing with it, but you can imagine it without the vulgarity in the picture.

No, I don't like to. Yes, I suppose I could like if my life depended on it or something lol. Actually, one of the reasons I became a waitress was because I wanted better public speaking skills. It was a baby step, ya know? But one step at a time.
