The trouble with whistlers, in general, is that their whistling generally seems mindless.  They just whistle something erratic with no tune.  No melody.  Many I've heard whistle because they can, not because they should because -- frankly -- they should not.   It's like singing.  You should have a reason to sing and the song should have a beginning and an ending.

If you've ever worked in an office that required any thinking on your part and someone was an idle whistler, then you'd understand the concept of someone stepping on your last nerve.  It's like the "American Idol" auditions with one too many William Hungs trying to sing.  It's an out-of-body "ear worm".

Of course, there are people who can whistle.  One should not encourage them, however. 

:)

The workplace does not seem, to me, to be an appropriate place to whistle.

True. Fortunately it's many years since I heard anyone whistle. It's one of those things which fortunately has gone out of fashion. I think I may have whistled a few times about 40 years ago but only when other people were out of earshot.

elmore, I have two Busker songs that Brent is doing.  Need a couple more choices for Damon Kirsche - I'm sure I'm not thinking of some fun stuff.

What about "My Dream for Tomorrow" from OVER HERE?

I thought our storm last night was almost over at about 11:00, but then the thunder and lightening started,  Then it slowed down, and I thought it was safe to go to sleep.  At about 12:30, there was the biggest clap of thunder I have ever heard anywhere in my entire life.  The whole apartment shook, Nicky took off on a dead run, and I literally had to check to see if all the windows were broken.

And that is when the rain and wind began again.

I was woken up this morning at 5:21 am by the loudest and longest thunder clap that I've heard in my life.  I heard thunder last night, but nothing like the one this morning.  It was incredibly loud!

We are lucky we only had lots of rain and it is clear today.

These Time Warner commercials with this mumbling whining coach as their spokesperson really do suck, but I saw the funniest FIOS commercial today about a little girl who likes football. It made me laugh out loud.  It's absolutely wonderful!

Sometimes when we are traveling I order a side salad and ask them to leave off the lettuce and add extra carrots.  So far only one salad actually arrived as requested-lol

Usually salads are more than 50% lettuce, so I can see the confusion.

I was told that an itchy palm means you'll get money; so what does it mean when the bottom of my foot itches?


Kinky sex?

More likely it's athlete's foot.  Get some ointment.

The helper came by and we did our once every nine months cleaning of the garage - much better now, although I didn't find the music I needed to find.

Yesterday I really didn't want to jog but I did.  Today may be the break day, unless I work up the energy to go in the next hour or so.

How strange is that?  A vegetarian badmouthing vegetables!

Hmmm, and how often do you actually have vegetables in a little side salad?  Usually there is only a little bit of grated carrots and some tomatoes which are fruit.  Now a spinach salad is different but they are rarely side salads.

lettuce was a vegetable last time I checked

My dad whistles all the time. He doesn't even know he's whistling.  It's sort of like mumbling.  Once he whistled "Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat" over and over for an entire 2 hour car ride.  Not the whole song, just that line.  I think it was June.  It's really quite annoying
