Where Did All The Nice People Go?

[LikaNui]

Just checking in

I've been MIA for a while for a variety of reasons, good and bad.
Beside working looong hours, I've also been fortunate enough to have been playing a heckuva lot of live music the past few months.
I also had a root canal and shortly thereafter discovered that I've got a herniated disk in my lower back. For a while it was pressing on a nerve and even though I've got a pretty high resistance to pain, this was excruciating for a couple of weeks.
Somewhat better now, thanks.

Re: Where Did All The Nice People Go?

i think you know very well, lika, that there are certain folks who would consider your status as HT bulldog to be proof that you're not one of the "nice" ones here...

whatever the worth of being nice/not nice here is, i'm glad you're a bit better now and that maybe we'll be seeing more of you. i'm quite sure i'm not the only one who feels that way.

Well thanks... I think.
I was only a bulldog twice that I recall: once for those elderly friends of TutuSue's who had the elevator problem (I assume that's finally been resolved, Tutu?) and once when almost all of us here (but especially Auntie Lynne) were under attack by some tiny pseudo-celebrity guy.
Other than those two times, I'd like to think this bulldog has pretty much been a pussycat.

...I'd like to think this bulldog has pretty much been a pussycat.

what an auditory image that is:

barowrowrowrowr! barowrowrowrowr! barowrowrowrowrpurrrrrrrr....



and yeah, i meant to be complimentary. *thumbs up*

showing off my nerdy student of english side: waaaaay back in the day, if someone said you were "nice" it wasn't a nice thing:

ORIGIN original senses included "stupid" and "coy, reserved": from Latin nescius ‘ignorant’.

(per compact OED)

Ummm...wasn't Miulang treated to the bulldog?

The elevator situation is slowly resolving.

Re: Where Did All The Nice People Go?

I think it's fair to say we all have our bulldog moments. How boring would the world be if we all were perfectly nice and everyone agreed about everything?

As my husband likes to say, "We're not having an argument. We're having a discussion."

Wow! So sorry to hear about your health problems. Glad you've been playing lots of music, though. And here all this time, I figured you were busy having a blast boating at the Sandbar! Looking forward to any more photos you'd like to post; always a treat.

Likanui, are you in a band? What's the name of the band? And what kind of music do you play? And, finally, where have you been playing at?

Yeah, I thought so. *hug*

Oh. I forgot about that one. Okay, three times, not two. Three well-deserved times.

The elevator situation is slowly resolving.

Slowly?!?!!! Uh-oh. I feel a bulldog mood coming on.

Thanks, but there may not be any more boating photos, since the boat is for sale due to a lack of time to use it, much less time to maintain it.

Wow that's some root canal )

ROFLMOO!!! Good one, Craig!
The root canal was time consuming but painless. My dentist was awesome!!!

Likanui, are you in a band?

Yes and no. I play bass for several different bands as needed, like if their regular bass player can't make a gig or if they're between bass players, etc. For the past few months my phone has been ringing like crazy. I love it.

And what kind of music do you play?

My first love is Hawaiian music, but I play everything except heavy metal. (I've done it, but I don't like it.)
