| whispering wind | | I haven't used open mike for a discussion until today.I am sitting here and it's hot out and the wind is blowing something terrible. I opened a Window...just a tad cuz the forceful winds blew my papers off the table but the wind is whispering around the corner of the house and creeping into the slightly open window and it sounds like sad and lonely.I was wondering if any of guys hear the sadness of the wind the way I do and hear the lonliness of its voice? So sad ............like a child lost and looking for it's mother.

| | What Does "wind at your back" Mean? | | Have you ever heard the Irish Blessing[b]May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.[/b]What does the line "may the wind always be at your back" mean?I have wondered this for a long time.
Recently I have found that the line comes from this Irish blessing but still am unsure of what the correct meaning is behind it. Someone suggested that if one is aware of the Ireland weather, one will want the wind to be at ones back.. What are your ideas or knowledge of the meaning behind "wind at your back" please. | |
| | Are you satisfied with the ending of Gone With The Wind? | | I love Gone With The Wind whether the film or the book. I love Scarlett. She's a strong woman, brave enough to pursue what she wants. And, of course, her love story with Rhett Butler is pretty moving. It's also a very realistic story. I believe many of us are attracted by some Ashley guy different from us. we thought it was love, however, when we meet our Rhetts, we understand what is true love. I love the ending of this story." Tomorrow is another day." This word raises our hope. and it's typical of Scarlett's personality. Never give up.:) So what do you think of it? | |

| The Wind In My Sails | | Are you ever troubled by the wind? Does it sneak out at the most inappropriate moments? Do you rumble and squeak Like an old boiler only for nothing to happen and then be quiet and placid as a lake in summer when a sudden squall comes on and there's enough power to push a sail boat to the other bank. Or am I alone in this. Charcoal biscuit anyone? | |
| | Do You Just Go Where the Wind Blows? | | Someone said life's for the taking
here I am with my hand out,
waiting for a ride.
I've been living on my great expectations
What good is it when I'm stranded here
and the world just passes by.Where are the signs to help me get out of this place?
If I should stumble on my moment in time,
how will I know?If the story's written on my face
does it show?
Am I strong enough to walk on water?
Smart enough to come in out of the rain?
Or am I fool?
Going where the wind blows?Here I sit halfway to somewhere
thinking about what's infront of me
and what I left behind.
On my own, supposed to be so easy
is this what I've been after?
Or have I lost my mind?!Maybe this is my chance and its coming to take me away.
If I should stumble on my moment in time
how will I know?
If the story's written on my face, does it show?
Am I strong enough to walk on water?
Smart enough to come in out of the rain?
Or am I fool?
Going where the wind blows....--- this is a song by Mr. Big in the late '90s and I just feel like this. I am done with school, I have a job but I wonder when I would stumble onto my moment? I just feel like hitching a ride but can't get... | |

| Wind Turbines Frozen on Windy Days. | | It seems that Minnesota has spent a lot of money for wind turbines only to find that on the windy days of winter the Tribunes are frozen and won't work. The cause is the Hydraulic Fluid and lubricants are turning into Gel and won't work in the cold climate. MN has a law that requires a certain percent of its energy to come from alternative sources. If you travel through MN you will see many Wind Turbines. If these only work on warm windy days. That means for about 1/4 of the year these Wind Turbines will not produce energy. What will the billions invested in these alternative energy sources ever be recovered by the production of energy in a cost effective manner? | |
| | Gone With the Wind,So It Was! | | I was shocked to learn that Margaret Mitchell wrote only one book in her life. That book was the classic, " Gone with the Wind". She was apparently killed while crossing the street. That is life. So much promise and all because of some driver on the road,we have become so much the poorer literary! | |
| | A truck went by, plastered my windshield with dirt, and the last of my wind- | | sheild wiper fluid squirted only at the very bottom of my windsheild. So I pulled over and I had half a container of the stuff left over. Luckily, it was a beautiful day outside. Now that was a first. 1. to run out of fluid and have a spot to pull over and 2. be able to refill on a nice warm day. The last time it ran out, it was bone chilling cold with wind. So where were you the last time you ran out of windshield wiper fluid and does it always seem to be a bad time? | |

| Dizi and Wind type instruments | | I've been researching the Dizi lately(reading about on the web) and I would like to know if anyone else finds this instrument really interesting, calming and peaceful? They're made in different tunings and I don't really know much at all about music theory. I was wondering if the tone would be sharper if the dizi was smaller and if it would be deeper if it was longer? | |
