Wind chimes are the staple of my childhood memories.
Here here!! Those things are god damned annoying!Especially the wooden ones!
Wind chimes are great!!!
How else would we know when it’s windy?
fucker in the building adjacent to mine has wind chimes and holy jesus they’re annoying as fuck.
At least living in the city I don’t have to hear wind chimes as much as when I was in the country. Now I just have to put up with the car alarms, honking horns, and general drunken idiots screaming as the walk by my building!
Nothing a can of Mono expanding foam can’t fix.
I wonder what wind chimes would sound like in a hurricane.
Bravo, ustwess. You beat me to it.
I was going to say Silly String.
I have tubular windchimes and I fucking love them – touch my chimes and I`ll use your molars to replace them.
1. Take them inside.
2. Get a fan.
😉
Down with wind chimes. I hate the damn things. They make me think about that movie Twister everytime I hear the stupid things. They are just annoying.
<3 my wind chimes. Mind, I have the perfectly tuned ones and they come with a silencer for when I'm not home/at night.
Mine are in the key of C and I can spend hours on the deck with a nice puff just listening to the different melodies. I’ve had mine for 10 years and kiss their sweet little tubes every night before I feed them crackers.
HAHAHA!! Feed them crackers…classic. But do they have snuggies?
I love any thing that makes music….because I am into sound healing I LOVE wind chimes….BUT they cannot be the metal kinds…those drive me to no end…..but the tubular bamboos ones….. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh..I am asleep in no time
I can only guess that those who get irritated by natural sounds are afraid to tune into and understand their own internal reverberation because they means they would have to start healing and some folks are just not ready for that commitment to thyself……
Remember our bodies are musical instruments and I do not mean that noise you make after gramma’s home made molasses baked beans….I am talking our bodies are like tuning forks and for those of us that are ‘in tune’ we love those sounds……. that resonate within us naturally….
~om~
Mcgayle, have you been in TTFN’s stash?
Wind chimes, c’mon people, don’t we have bigger issues to bitch about other than wind chimes. We have a set, in wood, and they are lovely to hear in the breezes of spring, summer and fall. Fuck with my wind chimes and off with your head. BTW we take them down for the winter months. Just too much wind.
My stash is guarded by six steel bear traps and an army of honked-off fire ants.
i’m moving in with ttfn
Just make sure you bring a tripod – I tend to roll ’em fat.
I like the long tube wind chimes. They are soothing & when the wind picks up too much, you take them down…no biggie.
I like wind chimes in areas where there’s an occasional breeze, but I grew up close to the shore, where it was almost always windy, and my mom had a set outside the front door, which was directly below my bedroom window, so they woke me up all the time. I definitely didn’t like those ones.
Three…..hehehehe…ahem…nope to the dope….LOL…. I love them..I truly do…but they have to be a certain kind…. I do discriminate 😉
PAS: I can see how that would be annoying…. on the windier days, like others, I take them down but it has to be real windy to bother me and my neighbours like them…I also take them down for the winter….
but yeah….
..gots to be bad when we is abitching about chimes….LOL…I think the person who bitches about chimes needs MORE chimes in their life not less…
I just set my turbo fan to them elongated beauts in the key of C to blast a little Van Halenish tubular frenzy. The animals are already evacuating the area, including two squirrels carrying several 2 x 4s and a power saw between them. Just hope to Dog they’re building bleachers. And I want a fucking cut.
Ah to see the world through the eyes of TTFN.
While taking a bong hit.
sorry burning man, i stick to issues in my little corner of the world most of the time, which include my neighbors huge fucking metal windchimes. maybe next time i’ll bitch about the shortage of spontaneous puppet shows or something
VOT: I will agree with you on that one..those metals ones I DO NOT CARE HOW BIG… should be fecking outlawed…
ahhh the puppet man a rare gem indeed
