If you could sent a message in a bottle, how long would you be able to send a voice through a bottle,
like how many messages would you have in the USB port?

I look at my life and the majority of days I am disappointed, the honest truth is most days I am either angry, depressed or absolutely confused (it will be a Sunday, I am thinking it's Wednesdays I will remember Monday, have no clue where I was or what I did Tuesday accept drive and then I learn oh it's Sunday?? Really? and then I am like okay where did Thursday, Friday and Saturday go??
Most people definitely don't want to be me
 
Do you remember your first time? No not that first time, the first time you stayed up on news years eve to see the new year arrived. For years you had tried and tried but where asleep by 10 or 11 pm. For years and years you had heard people talk about the change from one year to the next being some magical and mysterious event.
And then finally there you were, the count down began and it was happy new year, people were crying and laughing, hugging and kissing , singing and dancing
You know what I remember about my first new eve/new years day, I remember being pissed off and confused!!! What where these idiots celebrating??? What did I miss? Had the planets lined up so you could see them? Had the moon and sun appeared side by side?
 
So there I was just getting the mail when I looked across the street and saw what was in the driveway. They have 2 cars so probably had 2 bottles and actually ended up with enough left over to be worth storing! I am, at some level, jealous and I want to go steal it because it'd get me to almost full I think. Either that or I'm just going to have to get my own bottle to end up storing the extra piddly amount left and let the whole nonsense continue...

Honestly I do not go into trouble with anyone, due to my ADHD and I do not know what the future holds, so I mostly stay still.
 
My old house does not have a garage. I spent over a half hour getting into and defrosting/scraping the ice off our car so I could run some errands this morning.
Shoveling snow off of the porch, walk, and drive is not fun when the wind chill is below zero but fighting the ice on the vehicles is far worse.
 
I have a garage but it's full of partially used windshield washer fluid containers and assorted other junk so I don't keep my car in there. I do hate cleaning the car and chiseling the ice but it's all a feature of living in the great Northeast. We can get some pretty bad weather but on the whole it's OK. Big winter storms/weather do suck and wear me out though.
 
Winter storms were very common when I was a youth. A change in the weather pattern or something has drastically decreased both the frequency and the intensity of the storms nowadays. Summer storms have also lessened in severity. I'm not complaining.
 
On twitter is a huge crap storm on how Linkin Park's today, From Zero album, they are thinking it is paramore, wereas Paramore as no taste in music,
I think still some of the underground albums in rock is from the fueled up anger from when bands, public bands such as LP has been on the air since in the mid 90s,
Why is that most of the people always caught up in the past from other bands and will not consider of moving on with their later projects? Also what frozen hearted from Sirius xm think it is cool just to play one song from an artist, of where they can play their entire albums without thumbing through a million of other artist?
 
I finally swore of Sirius. Buying it for two vehicles was getting into my pocket deeper than I was being entertained. It was fun but I am done. It really was nearly 100% music a couple of decades ago but now they have to advertise their service between songs. Who are they targeting???
I put 3k MP3s on my phone and let them play. My phone connects to my vehicles... I let it play. I'm good... zero bs and nothing but music.
 
I had Sirius on my Journey when I first got it. Came free for 12 months, afterwards, I let it lapse. After they sent me a butt-load of emails waiting me to sign back up, they called me just once.
They said that they had a deal for me...
I said hold on; if you'll let me simply pick the 5 or 6 channels that I had found that I'd listen to and only be charged for those, I'd take it.
I told him that other than those everything else was just noise to me.
After he said that it was all or nothing...
Well, you can guess what I said.
Then I told him that I didn't want any more calls or emails either. They stopped.
I've got my music on my phone also, but I also have a micro cruiser drive that stays plugged into the USB port on the Dodge with additional music. As the Journey came with a CD player also I have a copy of much of my at-home music in the car, so I'm a happy camper.
 
Wait. Don't they have just online/Internet plans that are not tied to a specific car? My friend had Sirius when it first came out and he could only listen in the car because it was satellite but changed his plan when they went 'online'. See if you can change/update to a different type of account. Are you listening to a variety of their stations or just music? I've never had it so don't really understand it.
I have ~1500 MP3s loaded on my phone but mostly use Pandora. I have, and continue to add to, a pretty extensive playlist that is set on shuffle. I've collected a lot of albums and also created a personal station but find some of theirs to be pretty decent, the 80's indie radio is right up my alley. No ads, no talk, just music and I can run it anywhere, no matter what car I'm in. I have a family plan that is shared but they have 3 plan levels.
 
We have it only for Dish as a part of a package.
I mostly listen to rock stations, and used to listen to Chill, a lot before they change what tech music was, I I know there is a million stations though, I also have my droid filled with downloaded music as well as albums I have in my room, but it is a pain trying to search and match the songs with the title.. Greedy people who always cuts off the servers from just burning off albums from here to Simba's porch. I rather have it without much of a talking dj, that is why I change the stations to mostly Deep Tracks, or underground garage, let it play on the t.v.
Still It is so hard to find such great albums to listen to cover by cover, other then pirating them off youtube music for a price of 11 dollars per month I tend to forget about it and pick it up soonish, But my huge gripe is how come local radio stations does not have album play lists though?

When I was first a subscriber, I had to pay extra for their streaming service. It was a charged add on to a vehicle subscription. On one of their many price increases, it became part of the package. Though I listened to Sirius in my truck, I mostly enjoyed streaming to my phone during work and riding my bike. I have had a link to the service on my PC that I streamed music. What was a less than ten dollar a month service is now a twenty five dollar service. I'll take my $300 savings and use it for a streamed tv sports package. Besides, now that I'm retired, I don't spend hours a week commuting to work. Over priced and less value has put an end to a lengthy run.
