Triangle is a cool instrument here.think I would miss music..never learnt to play any instuments other than a triangle and that's not much
It was an apology for quoting Lennon, after you posted "Imagine India with no struggle." It was, in a sense, me making light of a horrible situation. I actually provided a service dog for a little girl from India who was born premature, deaf and with many other struggles because her mother was beaten to death for having the audacity to become pregnant after being raped. Our world is a hate-filled, intolerant place.
Get an iPod, load it with all of the music you like, and put it in your Farraday cage (or microwave) with all of the other little gadgets that will be missed. I am hoping that SHTF doesn't mean all musical instruments are destroyed. I love making music, piano, guitar and saxophone.think I would miss music..never learnt to play any instuments other than a triangle and that's not much

Get and learn the harmonica, inexpensive, easy to learn and a nice instrument to help one think and believe or not makes for some nice company when by yourself
(I carry one)I see her all the time-Sometimes, don't even Know how lucky I am.
Hey, I don't like that! (just fooling.).
You'r not the only one.had a harmonica once..my two young boys "adopted" it and no chance of getting it back
I actually have 2 harmonicas in my preps. While sorting through boxes when I moved here I found them and had the thought that they'd be good to hold onto for just this reason.had a harmonica once..my two young boys "adopted" it and no chance of getting it back
Microwave oven would only protect against 2.4ghz, and EMP has the potential to cover the entire spectrum from zero hertz to gamma where as a NEMP goes as high as a ionizing range, the mesh on the oven door only protects at the +/-2.4ghz range
I wouldthey like to play with it..have a feeling they have the musical talent from their mom..luckily not from me
I did't realize the capabilities of micro-wave.Microwave oven would only protect against 2.4ghz, and EMP has the potential to cover the entire spectrum from zero hertz to gamma where as a NEMP goes as high as a ionizing range, the mesh on the oven door only protects at the +/-2.4ghz range
My understanding is that anything that is not turned on at the time it happens will probably work afterwards anyway. And if it doesn't, we will probably be too busy trying to survive to try to use any of the things we'd have put in it anyway.Microwave oven would only protect against 2.4ghz, and EMP has the potential to cover the entire spectrum from zero hertz to gamma where as a NEMP goes as high as a ionizing range, the mesh on the oven door only protects at the +/-2.4ghz range
No one really knows the true effects and for the most part it is all hypothetical but what we do know are from; solar EMP carrington effect 1859, NEMP Starfish Prime 1962 and the various solar EMP related blackout and communication issues we have had
You're ahead of me on that one, although I can play a mean mary had a little lamb on the gutair!think I would miss music..never learnt to play any instuments other than a triangle and that's not much
It's amazing that most don't realize how lucky they are to live in this country. This place may be far from perfect, but it has more safety and opportunity than most.
I've always been envious of people that can play an instrument. My son has it, he can pick up one he's never touched before and in five minutes he's making music. (He's my stepson, so he didn't get it from me!). I can play the radio better than most though! Camping out in Missouri, sitting around a campfire with a full belly, a couple beers, and someone playing John Denver songs on an acoustic. It dosent get much better.
It's not an if, but when.
Just to make sure we all have our batteries and ducks in a row, iPods operate off of batteries, just like cell phones. And, although we are all spoiled by the luxury of receiving our electricity at the end of a very long umbilical cord, there are many more ways to make power so blown transformers don't necessarily mean no power to the prepared.
Because we enjoy so many freedoms in this country, we do also have to be on the watch for those who would steal or deform those freedoms - as has been happening for the last couple of decades. And let's not forget that we are being forced to pay for those freedoms, as well. And when those freedoms are taken from us, an added tax usually goes along with that, too. Is anyone else out there sick of being taxed to pay for Obama and Moochelle's vacations and golf games?
Just recently I purchase a solar setup that charges the wife cell phone, nook and kindle they are not expensive though in a grid down the cell phones (calls/text) will be worthless
