My kids are studying sound in school. Sound waves, frequency, etc. Ty, who is reading a A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, surmised that there are lots of sounds that would be really unfamiliar to King Arthur. Maggie realized that most of these noises are so familiar to us that we don't even hear them anymore.
So for school, they had to make a list of a.) loud sounds, b.) soft sounds, and c.) sounds we don't even hear anymore. Here are my sounds that I don't even hear anymore.
1. Anytime Chris starts talking about shoes.
2. Gracie's whining.... I put her on ignore.
3. Kim giving me pertinent information... don't ask me why.
4. Silence... but that's just because my kids are so loud.
5. The buzzer on the dryer, and I have it up really loud!
6. Curse words in movies. I don't even register them.
7. My Mother's voice in my head. (Is that good or bad?)
8. Chris' alarm that goes off at 4:oo am when he has to go to work in Anniston. And it's on my side of the bed!
9. My kids talking to me when I'm working at the computer. That is, until the questioning is soooo repetititve that it breaks through my sound barrier.
10. Wiggles movies. I don't realize I'm hearing it until I start singing all the songs. Very annoying!
Maybe later I'll make a list of all the sounds that I wish I didn't hear.

Yes but do you hear the sounds of silence?
Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence. ...
Art Garfunkel : This is a song about the inability of people to communicate with each other, and not particularly internationally, but especially emotionally. So what you see around you is people unable to love each other. This is called The Sounds Of Silence.

Who in the world is signing in as "Paul Simon"?
Don't know who this "Paul Simon" is but I think he has trouble communicating his point. ;o)
