Morning Mel!
What I hate is when you pay good money to go to a theatre and some idiot brought their baby or toddler to the movie and they cry or talk thru the whole thing! We have gotten up and moved and also told the manager about it and he went up to them and told them they either had to leave or keep the children quiet. I don't feel bad about that because I don't think babies need to be at a theatre anyway.
We have noticed that movies get louder and louder too. It's crazy. I don't know why they think movies need to be that loud!
I remember when Surround Sound came out too. It's wild to hear the sounds all around you! Like I said.....Technology is a wonderful thing!

Hi Roxie:

Yeah, Technology is WONDERFUL!!! Especially when it allows me to hand my husband a pair of headphones so I don't have to hear all that booming in my house. My living room is over 30 feet and the vacuum, well, something about sound bouncing off walls.

I never heard such loudness in all my life. My apartment is not cozy. I used to have a small living room. This big living room, dining room combination, (and I don't have rugs, just ceramic tile), well, someone explained to me once that sound bounces off walls and floors and when you have a room as big as mine, with no rugs, well, THERE YOU GO!!!

All I can say is thank heavens for headphones. I would have gone mad years ago.

Now I am off to visit my sick friend.

oh boy, this I am not looking forward to.

HI Mel, How did the trip to your friend go? I'm sure it was not as easy visit, but I'm sure it was greatly appreciated! Bless you.......
