Hey! 80's music rocks!

Ohhh, but the hair!!

The hair *and* the clothes. There's pictures of me from that era that
I'd rather did not exist....

Couldn't be worse than me, pal. I went platinum blond.

Actually, that *wasn'*t bad, because once I went platinum, I started
to dress very simply-- before that, I had the whole big, oversized,
layered, dangling jewelry, five million accessories hanging off, thing
going on.

That's terrible, Marina! I do hope you start singing again, especially since
singing improves a lot with practice. I find that I can learn the melody in
a similar way that I can learn the lyrics and the more I practice, the
better I sing.

Aww! Poor Sherry! What a traumatic experience. I experienced something
similar (though on a much smaller scale) when I was 8 or 9 years old,
and my music teacher (the sister of a famous conductor) told me in front
of half the school that I sing off-key. I haven't sung since.

I always wanted to sing but figured I couldn't. A few years ago, I
decided it was about time that I stopped letting my nervousness and
shyness get in the way. I saw a notice asking for volunteers for a very
small church choir which sang a type of old-fashioned church music I have
always loved.... [snip] I'll never be a soloist, or even one of the
'strong voices' who the rest of us listen to when we aren't quite sure
what we are supposed to be singing. But I get enormous pleasure out of it.

That's what counts!

I also don't have a beautiful, heart-stopping voice, but I've discovered
that I have a decent enough voice to make a contribution to a chorus. I
can sing on key, I can hold my own part and not be distracted by other
people singing other parts. I can blend in with others well, and I have
a good sense of harmony. So, I'm not a soloist, but I can still enjoy being
part of a group singing beautiful music.

Another important thing is that, as I've been doing more singing over the
past 4+ years, my voice has definitely gotten *better*. I don't go flat
the way I used to, and my voice is stronger. I've widened my range. So even
if a person has certain problems with singing, that doesn't mean they can't
improve. Everyone can improve.

Sounds like a good way to neaten up the Finnish gene pool. ;-)

Not just Finland. I gather that a typical summer drowning victim here
is a male, middle-aged overweight amateur fisherman who had a high
alcohol level and decided to stand up in a small open boat in order
to pee. It seems that it is extremely difficult to swim with your
trousers around your ankles, which is where they tend to end up
during your struggles. And that's even assuming you know how to swim.
Life jackets, what they call personal flotation devices now, also do
not appear to be popular among a certain subset of sports fishermen.

A relative of a friend of mine worked in the local morgue, and I
figure she knew what she was talking about.

I remember the smell of a body that's been in the water for three weeks,
to say it was strong was an understatement.
