My Hammered Dulcimer

My Hammered Dulcimer
There are various Hammered Dulcimer postings from YouTube of different tunes, and NO I'm not playing any of them.

The Hammered Dulcimer

The hammered dulcimer is an ancient trapezoidal musical instrument played by striking the strings with wooden hammers. Originating in the Middle East about 2000 years ago, English soldiers brought the instrument back to England after their failed attempt to conquer Persia during the Crusades about 1000 years ago. Dulcimers have many names in many lands: santur in the Middle East, yang q'in in China, hackbrett in Austria, zither in Germany, and cymbalom in Hungary. The name "dulcimer" is derived from Latin, meaning "sweet sound". Hammered dulcimers were popular in England during the reign of James I, when the Bible was translated into English as the King James Bible. The dulcimer was mentioned in the Book of Daniel 3:5 among other instruments "..the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of music..." The dulcimer was later mechanized to become what we now know as the harpsichord which later evolved in the piano.

That sounds great,but here is thr rub some people are getting away with buying a NEW CAR OR TRUCK THAT GET 2 MILES PER GAL.BETTER THAT THEIR OLD ONE!WTF? THE AUTO INDUSTRY IS JUST RIPPING OFF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AGAIN.
This is the part that really pisses me off.when I bought my Buick Century the sticker mileage was 20 city. the effin epa now say that same car gets over 21 a gal there for I cannot qualify to buy a car that gets 32 miles per gal in the city.well up your congress and the effin auto industry!

I have given this some thought.

This post is about how I manage my blog. every blog on blogger has the ability of comment moderation and word verification. I for one cannot see why if I moderating the comments that are left for that I should make the commenter also jump through the hoop of word verification as well.I do not see the sense in that. The word verification is to prove that the commenter is a person not a computer program that just generates spam.
The reason I do not use the word verification is two fold. 1) if a person has a problem called dyslexia (transposing of letters) that word verification is a royal pain.I know I have that problem.That is why I am so glad that there is spell check for when I'm posting.
2) It would be redundant to use both methods of filtering out Spam.
THIS IS JUST MY OPINION AND HOW I CONTROL MY BLOG,I AM NOT TELLING ANYONE ELSE HOW TO RUN THEIR BLOG.

Please do not leave really nasty comments about this posting.THANK YOU.

Parts of me.( I am not a Saint) or it's the I ten T errors

I maybe sorry that I posted this one,but her it goes.
As I have been traveling the great land of Blog,I have been sharing different parts of my life.there still is a bunch of stuff about me that maybe or maybe I have not posted about much here on my own blog.

There is a reason that I started to post recovery blogs as a special part of my blog sidebar. I have discussed the alcholism of mine.I am also bi-polar,I have tried to commit susicide many times in the past,that monster still is with me I just try to keep that one on a short leash.

I have some problems that were caused by my time in the Air Force.The sad part is that the Military said that my problems were caused prior service.
the V.A. still maintains that to this very day.I have decided to just give up fighting with the "government" on this one. the government in their infinate wisdom has decided that any vetern that has drug abuse or alchol problem are their own doing and the service did not cause the problem.this is true to some point no one force me to drink nor to take the drugs( acid & speed and who know what else) that I took.I admit that this was a form of self medication that I did to cope with my military service.
I am not proud of this part of my history,but it is what it is.

Now for the really shameful part of my life I have had a violent temper and because of that it created for a verry stormy first marriage.
There was an other aspect of that train wreck,I was accused of cheating by my wife based on rumors that fellow wives were telling her. I never cheated on her.Unfortunaly while on a tempory duty assignment she cheated on me with of my best friend. i could have held that agaist her and filed for divorce.but I still wanted to make things work.I though when I got out of the Air Force that maybe we would have a chance of doing that.We both started Taking Classes at Sacramento City College.we both got our A.A. degrees.I tried to go to the 4 year collage to get my B.A. but due to my head being on backward I ended up on academic probation because of my grade.the following semester my grades did not meet the standards again and was placed on academic suspension.
The marriage was floundering we seperated.That is when my true mistress( the one that has always been in the backround) took over me ,and my drinking escalated.

I think that I will stop for now.maybe soon I will revisit this part of my past. Wow 2 long winded postins in one weeks time.

well back to the drawing board.

It looks like I cannot remember the names of the sites that I used for the quotes that I featured here. You Tube is being a pain in the neck about posting videos here.so I will just have to come up with other things to put here along with the prayer requests that I post.I want to keep my blog the lively one that it is.
Not to mention all the other stuff that I had stashed away in a folder while I was redoing my blog.That stuff is gone as well.I had a folder of all my awards and folders of other stuff that I wanted to keep,and that was wiped out by me as well.
speaking of a lively post.I have a rant hidden away where I blasted the media over the three ring circus that they create when a sports person,famous celeb,politician,dies or gets their butts in trouble.
I am not sure if I want to post that one or not.I do stomp on some toes with that one. I did post it,let the chips fall where they may.

I give up.

I just give up.I tried to follow everything step by step and still I screwed it up.I do not know if I was just missing something or the directions were missing a step.I just could not git it right.so therefore I will not be changing this blog to a three column blog.as much as I would like to.As some one said to me in their comment to me K.I.S.S.(keep it simple stupid)
There is one change that I still might attempt to make,and I will ask Sandee for that help.

It has been a while since...

It has been a while since I talked about my sobriety,my bipolar issues.So here goes nothing. I enjoy a good day of sobriety every day that I walk up and go to bed.when I wake up I thank God for allowing me a new day of life,I thank him before going to bed for the day sobriety,(soberity date:12/17/1990)and peacefulness.
My seizures have seemed to settle down some what for the time being.Thank you God for this.
I found a new site to visit.it has nothing to do with blogging,but it may turn out to be useful to people like me that are in therapy.the site is called Mood Gym it deals with C.B.T.( Cognitive Behavior Therapy.) I have just started on the site and will add a link to the site here later today.I do not have the link right next to me at the moment.
here is what my therepisy sent me:I just visited the site. It is a software program for the best psychotherapy for mood disorders! CBT is best and Interpersonal Therapy is also known to be good, but not as researched for mood disorders. Years ago in the 1980's when Metro(hospital)let us go to seminars I saw a Harvard prof do a session of Interpersonal Therapy. He was awesome. I have not progressed through the modules, but hope I can do some in times when I get no shows. THANKS!
