I like the bass to make the car vibrate. But it shouldn't be loud enough to disturb the other cars around me.

If the bass is making the car vibrate, then you are disturbing the other cars around you.

And you're the laughing stock of everyone around you. Bass should never be that high, it should be there to accentuate the lows in the music, not to thump your ass off. That's for movies and video games with explosions and shit like that. I actually constantly tweak the bass (and sometimes mids and highs) in my car depending on the track. I'm an EQ god.


To each his own hahah. In this country though, vibrating cars are the norm.

In my car, loud. I like to hear each word and instrument. I like the bass to make the car vibrate. But it shouldn't be loud enough to disturb the other cars around me.

But at home, it's ranging between low to medium as the walls around my flat aren't soundproof. And I don't want to disturb neighbours.

I don't listen to music using earphones.

Alexandra_Trent posted...
But also look at it from their point of view. What ELSE can they say? I mean, really?


Give advice and options of how to relax and/or find the root of the problems you're having would be a start. They are the Doctors afterall.


I understand that. Patients consult doctors for diagnosis and treatment of what ails them. Of course they would give advice on their treatment. But this isn't about that.

The point I'm trying to make is that it doesn't matter what a doctor or staff says (regarding the relaxing thing and not the diagnosis or treatment).

There are patients that just refuse to be consoled or comforted. They find it offensive and intrusive.

This is because the patient already has a preconceived notion that doctors and staff don't know how to make them comfortable and that the phrases they are spouting out are just scripted lines and are insincere.

And for the staff's point of view, they won't bother to try harder because they think the patient would react the same way. There are patients that not just lash out, but they become verbally abusive and even attack staff... :(((

So the issue is on both sides sadly...

I didn't have a lot of jobs where I lived as part-time jobs, sidelines and underage work (below 21) are illegal.

But! I did assist my friends from the university in terms of dropping them off and picking them up from home.

I also tutored kids (somewhat). The money I earned from these were mostly just "allowances" and not deemed as salary.

So, car-pool service (Allowance): 2 yrs
Grade school tutor for English: 1 yr

I worked:

Bank Loans Executive: 3 yrs
Finance Analyst: 2 yrs
Senior Finance Analyst: 6 yrs (the Senior part is just a title and a bit of an upgrade on the salary and role band.) >.>

The thing is, one would never be sure it's still there or if it somehow managed to escape. It's not the fear of being bitten so much as the ANXIETY of thinking you might be bitten that can terrify a person.

A name is more than what a person is called. It should stand for something or is derived from a quality that the parents desires their child to have.

Many names have been passed down with this in mind. Parents select a name that denotes strength, fortitude, dignity and/or other virtues.

A child's name is the first gift that a parent can bestow upon them as they enter the world. Thus, it should be a name that keeps the child's best interest in mind.

Strange/unique names or names based on the parent's sense of humor or sentimentality can have adverse effects on a child's development socially (bullying/ negative stigma etc etc)....

At often times, parents who name their child strange names often do it because of their own strange reasons. But they are mostly never about the child itself. So.... ://

We should have the child's future in mind and choose wisely.

Well...I understand that since it's been said way too many times and with most of them being insincere about it, it's quite annoying and may have the opposite effect on a patient.

But also look at it from their point of view. What ELSE can they say? I mean, really?

If you saw a child having a scrape on the leg, the decent part of you would try to console the child; even if it means saying things like: "Ssh....it's going to be all right." or something along those lines.

It's either they tell you to relax and don't stress or if you prefer that they don't say anything at all.

After all, they don't want to be in there with you any more than you do. So it's not just about you. They don't like saying those things to patients because at times, patients take offence and lash out at them for nothing. I know because I have friends who confide in me regarding these things; nurses and doctors.

We just need to be more patient and try to see the positive side of things rather than trying to find offence in everything....

Just a thought.
