	🌫 9:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi! I thought Irwin promised us no adverbs.
	🌫 9:16pm Chef Of The Future: Never forget January 6th. It's National Bean Day. The perfect day to consume your favorite legume. Beans are rich in fiber, protein and other necessary nurtients.
	9:16pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "Late Night" by "Syd Barrett" Ah, Syd Barrett. My late older brother turned me onto "Dark Side of the Moon" when he was still in his late teens and I was barely a teenager. A few years later he developed schizophrenia but took his meds regularly. He used to joke about the song "Brain Damage" and was good humored about his illness. Unfortunately, in May 1998 while he was staying with me, he forgot to take his meds for 48 hours. Before I could take appropriate action, and in a manic state, he put a gun to my stomach wanting to know who I was talking to outside! The paranoid part of the disease. Anyway, I got out unharmed. It's a horrible disease and the meds took their toll on him as he resumed until his passing on January 1st, 2011. it really sucked watching him become a OCD shadow of his former self. Years later, I still have had trouble resolving his death and suffering for years prior. Sorry for my rambling misery folks, but music can bring out both the good and the bad memories.
	9:17pm Daniel Blumin: Hiya, ultrad, newton, Dan S, Vanejsa, Mark T, Count, Rev, chresti, El Choppo, Lazy p, tom tom, spodiodi, coela, Ike, Chef, Deano, joe, Mxter B, Franco, Aitch, ngh, Ken & the lurkin soundheads!

	🌫 9:18pm joe mulligan: ↳ lazy pierogi @9:10 I knew that, I'm always thinking time zones haha. happy new year!
	9:18pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Baby Milk Snatcher" by "A.R. Kane" In the early 90s, I read a wildly inaccurate review of an A.R. Kane record (New Clear Child, I think, from '95) in... Option? B-Side? It likened them to Lush or MBV or maybe Curve. I was very excited to find that record at Tower (?) but hated it when it wasn't as described. Not the band's fault though! And this track is MUCH closer to what the review specified.
	🌫 9:21pm joe mulligan: ↳ Mark T @9:16 sorry to hear that Mark. sometimes the only resolve is knowing that our loved ones lost cannot be helped by us
	9:22pm Steve from LI: ↳ Daniel Blumin @9:14 Thank ye, good sir. Wonderful to be here in the New Year with all the fantastic sounds so far!
	9:24pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Steve from LI @9:22 Thank you, Steve! Glad ya digg! It might change direction a few times but soundy it shall stay!
	9:24pm Mark T: ↳ joe mulligan @9:21 Thank you for the kind words. And he did so much for me. My taste in music, progressive rock. He studied electronics in high school, and so did I which became my life career. We were close for many years.

	9:26pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ brycepunk1 @9:24 Welcome, brycep!
	🌫 9:26pm brycepunk1: Mark T, I am sorry to hear about that. Can't imagine how awful it was, and still is.
	9:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mark T @9:16 I have a sister who's schizophrenic. Mentally ill people reliably taking their medications is a situation... & then the side effects. Somewhere in Comments recently we were just discussing David Bowie's schizophrenic brother Terry. He took his own life eventually. Anyhow - you're not alone.
	9:27pm greg g: Take care Mark. I believe your brother is at peace and I hope the formative experiences you had with him being you comfort for years to come. I have a cousin who suffers from the same disease.

	9:49pm Carmichael: Go into the favorites tab in your profile, and you should see that option.
	9:50pm Ike: ↳ northguineahills @9:43 Definitely not limited to 100. My faves list is roughly 1200 songs long (extremely approximate).
	🌫 9:51pm brycepunk1: I love the favorite song feature. It's fun on off-nights to go back (cause I usually don't remember them) and re-listen. Sometimes I wonder what mood I was in when I clicked that star, and others became favorite songs forever
	9:51pm Mark T: ↳ Carmichael @9:49 It's so easy that even an ex stoner from South Jersey can do it! LOL
	9:51pm northguineahills: yeah, my fave list emailed to me only goes until last october...
	9:51pm Carmichael: It’s fun when you hear a cool song and go to click it, and it’s pre-clicked!

	9:53pm coelacanth∅: last i knew, the wfmu favorite tracks maxed out at 3000 for each listener. beyond that the oldest starts getting deleted. so it's a good idea to have the list emailed now and then.
	9:53pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ northguineahills @9:51 Bummer, I saw that mine only went back to 2022, but someone how opened the entire list and it goes back to 2018, I think that's when I started with FMU.

	10:02pm Mark T: ↳ annette @9:51 Ditto. My sister has untreated anxiety. Everyone on my mother's side suffer from some form of mental illness. And I am recovered 17 years from alcohol. While I literally do not struggle, I do give a lot of myself to about a half dozen people the seem to rely on me for strength in sobriety. I have endured many, many tough things, and tragedies in sobriety which has turned into a gift to others for support. The worst of all was December 13, 2018. My 84 year old mother was crossing the street when she was struck and killed by a car. It was not pretty either to say the least. And there's a knock on the door I will never forget. The two policemen standing there. Anyway, I am hoping to write a memoir soon of the past thirty years of my life along with a couple of Jack Kerouac novels of my travels around the country and into Canada. Sober, drunk, and sober over the years.
	10:02pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @9:53 excuse me, i think i erred. i just counted (roughly) my last list and it's 2000. - so every 2000 stars you must have your list emailed to you, or you'll lose some of it.

	10:06pm !ke: ↳ Gnomon (Knight of Petrichor) @10:03 I need ideas too, because honestly "slow" is generous. It's really more like "glacial." Good thing I saved up a lot of cash and stock when I last had a "real" job at the Evil Audiobook Empire.

	🌫 10:12pm Chef Of The Future: Occupation? Time travelling culinary connoisseur.

	10:15pm Stevel: If it helps anyone, this is where I work, Norther half of Indiana, but remotes are used in various situations. Good luck. recruiting.ultipro.com...
	10:15pm Gnomon (Knight of Petrichor): ↳ !ke @10:11 I like the instant-upload thing on your site, that's a good idea. Here's mine, I'm specializing more in technical and academic stuff. mediapathic.github.io
	10:16pm Mark T: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @10:13 Hey you, be strong.
	10:17pm Andrew Waterloo: ↳ Mark T @10:12 I spent most of my career in some kind of motion control. Inverters for robotics, off-road electric vehicles, and then automotive. Glad I am not in any of that. I did apply for a satellite company
	10:17pm Stevel: ↳ Mark T @10:15 I'd forgotten Steve Roper was a PJ. I should probably be ashamed. Values were important. It was a great job. Paid for shit, but I really did not care.
	10:18pm Mark T: ↳ Mr. Corey LLC @10:12 Got mine from too many loud rock concerts when I was a long haired idiot teenager and never wearing earplugs
	10:19pm Lawrence Lui: Nice show Daniel!
	10:19pm Mark T: ↳ Stevel @10:17 I just found that an awesome thing for my mother to choose my middle name like that. Versus family history.
	10:20pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Lawrence Lui @10:19 Thanks, LL!

	10:21pm Count d'Al Dente: Me too for tinnitus. I toured with too many bands without earplugs. As for work, I'm looking for courier work, hopefully as an air courier, so I can listen to music most of the day.
	10:22pm !ke: ↳ Gnomon (Knight of Petrichor) @10:15 To be fair, the site was designed and created by a friend. I'm not that technically proficient. Anyway, after peeking at your site, I notice something that set off a small alarm bell (though you may very well disagree and it can be controversial), so I'll email you.
	10:23pm Mark T: ↳ Count d'Al Dente @10:21 Excellent...
	10:23pm Gnomon (Knight of Petrichor): ↳ !ke @10:22 yes please! I appreciate the feedback.

	🌫 10:26pm joe mulligan: ↳ lazy pierogi @9:25 have fun in Japan! HMU if you ever want to go for a spin in Marin
	10:27pm Mark T: ↳ Carmichael @10:25 Oh wow, super ouch. I don't need a hearing aid, just the varying ringing depending on proper sleep, stress, etc. And I cannot go to most restaurants as the din of talking hurts my ears.
	10:28pm Daniel Blumin: It's wunderschnapps to see the extent of the freeform collective's contributions to our time/space no matter what you are doing in 2025! But where are the bakers???
	10:28pm Stevel: ↳ Mark T @10:19 It is pretty cool. My daughter's middle name is the first name of a great friend of mine. My father and myself carry my grandmother's maiden name. My son carries my wife's grandmother's maiden name (the woman who left the farm with my wife's father, because "Al is going to school." He was a history professor of some note.
	10:29pm Carmichael: And the candlestick makers??
	🌫 10:29pm joe mulligan: ↳ northguineahills @9:38 musta been an incredible show, hope he tours US in 2025
	10:29pm Gnomon (Knight of Petrichor): ↳ Andrew Waterloo @10:26 I and a bunch of other production people swear by etymotics www.etymotic.com . They have super fancy ones but they have a ~$20 that is great.
	10:30pm Mark T: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @10:26 Earasers. I bought a pair at the NAMM last year. They don't attenuate quite enough for what I need in really loud venues, but you still have a lot of clarity
	10:31pm Mark T: ↳ Stevel @10:28 Wow. That's quite a interesting line of names/lineage
	10:31pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:28 my uncle was a baker for 25 years but he’s retired
	10:32pm Mark T: EARASERS, is a brand that I purchased at the NAMM show last year.
	10:33pm northguineahills: i'm just a geographer (relational database manager/web map developer, etc) not a workin' now...
	10:33pm Andrew Waterloo: ↳ Mark T @10:30 I don't get a lot of seriously loud shows so usually just looking for filtering and protection from some of the punchiness.
	10:34pm coelacanth∅: i been working on this palm tree for 87 years
	10:34pm i̺k̺e̺: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:28 Not a pro baker, but I made some oatmeal pistachio chocolate chip cookies at Xmas. I pulled off a "cookie heist" by making them in record time and then cleaning up the evidence while a certain grumpy old relative was out at the hardware store and he never realized I'd messed with his kitchen or made something criminally sugary at all.
	10:34pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @10:31 Deano, you gotta get him to give an earful to FMU so that we get a baker onboard as any respectable radio station should!
	🌫 10:35pm Aitch: Architect, like Wilber Post, but it's a talking cat, not a horse.
	10:35pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ i̺k̺e̺ @10:34 This could be the start of a career, i̺k̺e̺!
	10:36pm Andrew Waterloo: This year I baked shortbread, russian tea balls, and oatmeal peanut butter cookies with peanut butter chips
	10:36pm Mark T: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @10:33 Take a look at the website for the earasers
	10:37pm Deano de los Muertos: hah..I’d peg him for more of a Glen Jones guy, but Glen doesn’t have a comments board!
	10:37pm Mark T: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @10:13 Please do not hibernate. Bundle up and get some fresh air
	10:38pm GIRABBE # 299024: I’ve worked in a large hotel in lower Manhattan for almost three decades I have seen some weird wild things and mostly the worst of humanity.
	10:38pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:34 Fwiw, I bake a mean batch of brownies and Blondies. If someone can supply me with ingredients I'd be happy to enable radio staff to sample my wares. Just saying.
	10:38pm Andrew Waterloo: The little key chain carrying case is a big bonus
	10:39pm Cheryl The Nerd: ↳ Mark T @10:37 IT'S TOO DAMN COLD FOR THAT!!!!
	10:39pm Stevel: ↳ Mark T @10:31 I have a friend (the name my daughter shares) who, along with her husband, changed their last name to a new one. It is beautiful, and very challenging to the lineage model. The new name did start with the same letter, but, it still feels like a jump to me. My son named after his great grandmother's name was a request from my wife (instantly honored) as that she didn't want to hyphenate, and kept her surname. Its a wacky world!
	10:39pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @10:38 A message shall be passed onto the admin! Good luck to you and anyone else looking for employment at the start of this year!
	10:39pm Mark T: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @10:38 Norton Sonic hearing protectors are very effective> Rather bulky, the have metal baffles with small holes drilled inside to pass through sound.
	10:39pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @10:33 i use regular earplugs. the kind recommended for using power tools. they're perfect. they cut out mostly high-end, which is what causes the most hearing loss. can still hear/feel the bass. still hear enough of the highs to appreciate it, without it hurting me.
	10:40pm ultradamno: This is some good sneaking around an office at night looking for incriminating files music
	10:40pm Drunken Creep: sounding real nice DJ, gracias
	10:40pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ GIRABBE # 299024 @10:38 GIRABBE, it's time to start a short story collection!
	10:41pm Stevel: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:34 "...criminally sugary ..." What a scoundrel you are!
	10:41pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Drunken Creep @10:40 Thanks fer the earses, DC!
	10:42pm Stevel: ↳ ultradamno @10:40 Stop watching me! I'm being very quiet.
	10:43pm Mark T: ↳ GIRABBE # 299024 @10:38 Ugh, I can well imagine.
	10:43pm Andrew Waterloo: I found the best ear plugs I had were the set I bought at Big Ears.. the fit comfortably and came in a metal cyllnder that was easy the throw in my pocket.
	10:43pm ultradamno: This is the part where the flashlight goes in the mouth while reading
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...they named the fairly round little child Earplugz ...ironically - the entire family of retired Industrial Sound Engineers could hear nary a sound between them - & never this name out loud...
	10:45pm coelacanth∅: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 should've said "disposable foam" plugs. NOT the ones inside plastic/rubber. just foam you roll up and stick in before they re-expand. they can be re-ued many times if you lightly wash them (or leave them in your pockets through the clothes wash)
	10:46pm ?: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:41 I have!
	10:46pm lana: digging tonight's tunes- thank u DB!!
	10:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho his hearing was fine - even acute - his native language as it were was hand signing - & from the habit of those around him reading lips. He'd never feel entirely @ home among the Society of audible communicators in his heart of hearts...
	10:47pm chresti: Reset Your Mind by The Wolfgang Press (A 2nd Shape) 🔥🧀🕳️🌀🧠🔥
	10:49pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:47 ...the noisy world community of people shouting & too lazy to gesture ...it would ever seem to him ...in the dark, the blind man is less disadvantaged than the sighted...
	10:49pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Led" by "Cray" Zep!
	10:50pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @10:38 I love blondies, yum
	10:53pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ GIRABBE # 299024 @10:38 Must have a lot of stories
	10:57pm ultradamno: i.pinimg.com...
	10:58pm girabbe: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @10:53 absolutely, lots of infidelity, crime, and general weirdness!
	11:00pm Mark T: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:44 lol
	11:01pm chresti: Happy Babouge by Minimal Compact (Minimal Compact) 🔥✨🔥✨🔥🧀
	11:02pm ultradamno: mastodon.social...
	11:03pm ultradamno: Not stuck, but did some shoveling between the prog and this show
	11:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @10:50 so, multiple debby harrys?
	11:05pm ultradamno: Blondie Is A Group...so multiples of five
	11:06pm chresti: Where did that cheese come from?
	11:07pm i̺k̺e̺: "Tip of the hat" is completely cromulent!
	11:07pm northguineahills: ↳ ultradamno @11:05 i didn't want to type gary, clem, chris and jimmy as well...
	11:07pm Gnomon (Knight of Petrichor): Assuming a big enough hat, I think. Preferably with feathers.
	11:08pm northguineahills: ↳ Gnomon (Knight of Petrichor) @11:07 just keep it cavalier...
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...a tip of the Derby Hairys...
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...but just the tip...
	11:10pm Matthew: I'm a toilet cleaner.
	11:10pm Count d'Al Dente: ↳ Mark T @10:27 Check out, Vibes ear plugs. They're designed so you can hold a conversation while at a concert. I like them.
	🌫 11:11pm brycepunk1: This song is doing really really well at making me feel uneasy. That's beautiful
	11:11pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...after five years they give me a brush...
	11:12pm ultradamno: Multiples of Debbie, there's got to be a Giger counter joke in there somewhere dyn.media.titanbooks.com...
	11:13pm ultradamno: 2x4 i.pinimg.com...
	11:14pm ultradamno: dangerousminds.net...
	11:15pm Count d'Al Dente: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 I was told by a specialist that it's actually the bass that does more damage because it penetrates deeper. The high end does hurt more because of the shrillness.
	11:18pm ultradamno: There's an SRL video where Pauline talks about a high pitched whistle they made that had scary effects, like being drugged.
	11:19pm Deano de los Muertos: ↳ Song: "Force Regeneration" by "Schneider / Serries" Twin Peaks Pink Room vibes
	11:20pm ultradamno: I was thinking Fushitsusha without the grunting and howling
	11:21pm ultradamno: (so I guess appropriate to pair with Haino)
	11:21pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ lana @10:46 Thank you, lana!!!
	11:22pm Andrew Waterloo: ↳ Count d'Al Dente @11:10 Sounds like something I need in my general life
	11:24pm ultradamno: I heard today the leader of the proud birds was asking for a pardon. Wait, maybe that's something else
	11:25pm Andrew Waterloo: Looks like the ear plugs I got from Open Ears are re-branded EarPeace
	11:31pm Daniel Blumin: All hail, Matthew!
	11:32pm Matthew: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:31 Great show, Daniel!
	11:34pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Matthew @11:32 Thx, Matthew!!!
	11:35pm ultradamno: imageproxy.ifunny.co...
	11:36pm Mister Dobalina: ↳ Count d'Al Dente @11:10 Thanks for that tip.
	11:37pm Erik abodes VT: ↳ Song: "Force Regeneration" by "Schneider / Serries" … appreciated, seems to me J.Schneider is carrying forth a touch of Chris Cutler’s wonderful octopus energies …
	11:38pm jeff-m: im (very) late!
	11:39pm girabbe: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:40 is Schneider the same artist as Schneider TM?
	11:41pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ girabbe @11:39 Different!
	11:41pm Matthew: Is Serries Dirk, alias Vidna Obmana?
	11:41pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Erik abodes VT @11:37 Erik, hadn't thought of that but yes!

	9:15pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Baby Milk Snatcher" by "A.R. Kane" hapeas new smeers, daniel and bluminups!
	🌫 9:15pm Ken From Hyde Park: Hi! I thought Irwin promised us no adverbs.
	🌫 9:16pm Chef Of The Future: Never forget January 6th. It's National Bean Day. The perfect day to consume your favorite legume. Beans are rich in fiber, protein and other necessary nurtients.
	9:16pm Mark T: ↳ Song: "Late Night" by "Syd Barrett" Ah, Syd Barrett. My late older brother turned me onto "Dark Side of the Moon" when he was still in his late teens and I was barely a teenager. A few years later he developed schizophrenia but took his meds regularly. He used to joke about the song "Brain Damage" and was good humored about his illness. Unfortunately, in May 1998 while he was staying with me, he forgot to take his meds for 48 hours. Before I could take appropriate action, and in a manic state, he put a gun to my stomach wanting to know who I was talking to outside! The paranoid part of the disease. Anyway, I got out unharmed. It's a horrible disease and the meds took their toll on him as he resumed until his passing on January 1st, 2011. it really sucked watching him become a OCD shadow of his former self. Years later, I still have had trouble resolving his death and suffering for years prior. Sorry for my rambling misery folks, but music can bring out both the good and the bad memories.
	9:17pm Daniel Blumin: Hiya, ultrad, newton, Dan S, Vanejsa, Mark T, Count, Rev, chresti, El Choppo, Lazy p, tom tom, spodiodi, coela, Ike, Chef, Deano, joe, Mxter B, Franco, Aitch, ngh, Ken & the lurkin soundheads!
	9:18pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Chef Of The Future @9:16 cool. about to eat some chocolate. ...get my bean on!
	🌫 9:18pm joe mulligan: ↳ lazy pierogi @9:10 I knew that, I'm always thinking time zones haha. happy new year!
	9:18pm Ike: ↳ Song: "Baby Milk Snatcher" by "A.R. Kane" In the early 90s, I read a wildly inaccurate review of an A.R. Kane record (New Clear Child, I think, from '95) in... Option? B-Side? It likened them to Lush or MBV or maybe Curve. I was very excited to find that record at Tower (?) but hated it when it wasn't as described. Not the band's fault though! And this track is MUCH closer to what the review specified.
	🌫 9:21pm joe mulligan: ↳ Mark T @9:16 sorry to hear that Mark. sometimes the only resolve is knowing that our loved ones lost cannot be helped by us
	9:22pm Steve from LI: ↳ Daniel Blumin @9:14 Thank ye, good sir. Wonderful to be here in the New Year with all the fantastic sounds so far!
	9:24pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Steve from LI @9:22 Thank you, Steve! Glad ya digg! It might change direction a few times but soundy it shall stay!
	9:24pm Mark T: ↳ joe mulligan @9:21 Thank you for the kind words. And he did so much for me. My taste in music, progressive rock. He studied electronics in high school, and so did I which became my life career. We were close for many years.
	9:24pm coelacanth∅: ↳ Mark T @9:16 maybe your brother and mine (who clocked out in 1993) are somewhere arguing about music
	🌫 9:24pm brycepunk1: Sir Blumin! Good evening. Digging this Kaliyuga Express track
	9:25pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Mark T @9:16 Very sorry to hear, Mark T. Freeform hugs yr way...
	🌫 9:25pm lazy pierogi: ↳ joe mulligan @9:18 re: heading out west, it's already looking like a packed year for travel plans but would love to make it out there if we can. heading to Japan on weds – determined to track down a bike to ride while I'm there!
	9:26pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ brycepunk1 @9:24 Welcome, brycep!
	🌫 9:26pm brycepunk1: Mark T, I am sorry to hear about that. Can't imagine how awful it was, and still is.
	9:27pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Mark T @9:16 I have a sister who's schizophrenic. Mentally ill people reliably taking their medications is a situation... & then the side effects. Somewhere in Comments recently we were just discussing David Bowie's schizophrenic brother Terry. He took his own life eventually. Anyhow - you're not alone.

	9:49pm Carmichael: Go into the favorites tab in your profile, and you should see that option.
	9:50pm Ike: ↳ northguineahills @9:43 Definitely not limited to 100. My faves list is roughly 1200 songs long (extremely approximate).
	🌫 9:51pm brycepunk1: I love the favorite song feature. It's fun on off-nights to go back (cause I usually don't remember them) and re-listen. Sometimes I wonder what mood I was in when I clicked that star, and others became favorite songs forever
	9:51pm Mark T: ↳ Carmichael @9:49 It's so easy that even an ex stoner from South Jersey can do it! LOL
	9:51pm northguineahills: yeah, my fave list emailed to me only goes until last october...

	10:02pm Mark T: ↳ annette @9:51 Ditto. My sister has untreated anxiety. Everyone on my mother's side suffer from some form of mental illness. And I am recovered 17 years from alcohol. While I literally do not struggle, I do give a lot of myself to about a half dozen people the seem to rely on me for strength in sobriety. I have endured many, many tough things, and tragedies in sobriety which has turned into a gift to others for support. The worst of all was December 13, 2018. My 84 year old mother was crossing the street when she was struck and killed by a car. It was not pretty either to say the least. And there's a knock on the door I will never forget. The two policemen standing there. Anyway, I am hoping to write a memoir soon of the past thirty years of my life along with a couple of Jack Kerouac novels of my travels around the country and into Canada. Sober, drunk, and sober over the years.

	10:17pm Stevel: ↳ Mark T @10:15 I'd forgotten Steve Roper was a PJ. I should probably be ashamed. Values were important. It was a great job. Paid for shit, but I really did not care.

	10:27pm Mark T: ↳ Carmichael @10:25 Oh wow, super ouch. I don't need a hearing aid, just the varying ringing depending on proper sleep, stress, etc. And I cannot go to most restaurants as the din of talking hurts my ears.
	10:28pm Daniel Blumin: It's wunderschnapps to see the extent of the freeform collective's contributions to our time/space no matter what you are doing in 2025! But where are the bakers???
	10:28pm Stevel: ↳ Mark T @10:19 It is pretty cool. My daughter's middle name is the first name of a great friend of mine. My father and myself carry my grandmother's maiden name. My son carries my wife's grandmother's maiden name (the woman who left the farm with my wife's father, because "Al is going to school." He was a history professor of some note.

	10:30pm Mark T: ↳ Andrew Waterloo @10:26 Earasers. I bought a pair at the NAMM last year. They don't attenuate quite enough for what I need in really loud venues, but you still have a lot of clarity

	10:34pm i̺k̺e̺: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:28 Not a pro baker, but I made some oatmeal pistachio chocolate chip cookies at Xmas. I pulled off a "cookie heist" by making them in record time and then cleaning up the evidence while a certain grumpy old relative was out at the hardware store and he never realized I'd messed with his kitchen or made something criminally sugary at all.
	10:34pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Deano de los Muertos @10:31 Deano, you gotta get him to give an earful to FMU so that we get a baker onboard as any respectable radio station should!

	10:39pm Stevel: ↳ Mark T @10:31 I have a friend (the name my daughter shares) who, along with her husband, changed their last name to a new one. It is beautiful, and very challenging to the lineage model. The new name did start with the same letter, but, it still feels like a jump to me. My son named after his great grandmother's name was a request from my wife (instantly honored) as that she didn't want to hyphenate, and kept her surname. Its a wacky world!
	10:39pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Cheryl The Nerd @10:38 A message shall be passed onto the admin! Good luck to you and anyone else looking for employment at the start of this year!

	11:15pm Count d'Al Dente: ↳ coelacanth∅ @10:39 I was told by a specialist that it's actually the bass that does more damage because it penetrates deeper. The high end does hurt more because of the shrillness.
