I like Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head for songs that reduce stress. https://youtu.be/OT1HCQcSHW0

Or, Singin' in the Rain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1ZYhVpdXbQ

Seriously I got you all off on a tangent of Jenny. How many of you understand Taltarzrac's 224 613 - go for it but be polite. It is pretty serious stuff. Still living the dream.

I like "I Can See Clearly Now" and "Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding for stress relief.
I know some will consider this off topic, but is it really?
Maybe we all need to relax a bit and not take a Chat Forum like TOTV so seriously.
I think it's exactly what you make it.
Like rustyp, I'm still living the dream.

Here is the OP's original post. " Oh my! What has happened?


What has happened? This site used to have such good responses to questions, and concerns fellow Villagers have.

Lately, the responses have attempted to be sarcastic in nature, try to make a joke, or otherwise, belittle the original poster. I am not pointing to any single person, or topic, but a general trend.

I've subscribed to this site for over 4 years, and found it to be quite useful, adding insight to the many of the issues and concerns of fellow Villagers.
Let's please try to get back on-track, and be more considerate of the OP. "

It will vary according to the device (iPad, iPhone, PC) but I generally start by finding the home page and then identify the specific forum to use. I'm sure there are others here who can tell you about their shortcuts.

Gruntle all you want about the lack of niceness on the Forum, at least we learned a new word. Thanks to Outlaw.

Interesting:
gruntle

v.
To utter small, low grunts.
v.
To complain; to grumble
v.
To humour; to induce the opposite effect of causing a person to become disgruntled.
