to let me know the order never went through for the monitor.

I have no idea. But now I am not sure about the new one close by.
He started out as an engineer. Then became a Dr. and has bounced around every 3-4 years.
I'm wondering if the hospitals are getting rid of him for reason's no one is stating.

That is a little scary Chicka! Not the engineer to doctor part, I know someone who did that. It is the bouncing around part. I'd want some info on that.

KDOGG331 -- Practice makes perfect. Heck, even Picasso had a church basement full of attempted paintings before churning out his masterpieces. (Said paintings the church sold to support itself. My in-laws had one and for a few dollars more over purchase price the seller would go next door and have Pablo sign it. True story!)

Chickadoodles -- That is so wrong. And in the age of uber-expensive medical care we've got, it could at least be competent medical care. I hope the situation is resolved quickly for you.

It seems a trend these days that dissatisfied/disenfranchised folks take a 180 in careers. I know several Wall Street types that ditched the suits, enrolled in Cordon Bleu, and are now happily keeping the same hours but making pastry and baked goods. Another techie type left his Apple job and now carves Tiki poles. DH took a sabbatical from counseling to drive a warehouse forklift. These folks all had job burnout after a 3 to 5 year stint and rather than bounce yet again to another employer, decided to pursue what made them happy. (I think they had bankrolled a bit, too, in case things didn't work out.) I ditched court reporting and ventured into home renovation for a bit. Why? Nobody ever says "Thank you. What a great transcript!" But flipping a house, well, you know the buyer is happy with your end result or they wouldn't invest in it. The renovation is HARD work, though. I'm old. Did a few and done. My knees may never forgive all the ladder work. Oh, well. On to quieter pursuits and more naps.

Also, btw, I don’t play anything atm but I’ve been wanting to learn guitar for a while.

I’ve tried a few times before and with the keyboard too but never really seriously or anything.

But I really want to learn this song now.

I actually think keyboard/piano/that way would probably be easier for me, I picked that up pretty fast last time I tried, but I really want to, and would rather, learn guitar than piano. So

But the ukulele is such a cool instrument that I’d be happy with that instead of guitar too haha

I actually used to write songs occasionally too but that was a while ago. Although I still occasionally come up with ideas. Never usually get more than a couple lines though anymore

The ukulele is a very easy one to learn to play

I believe one is required to learn "Tiny Bubbles" as their first ukulele song.

That may well be true!

The funny thing is I’ve heard it several times before and always loved it so I’m not really sure what exactly it was about this specific time that made me want to play it maybe because it sounded easy enough to learn? Idk

It’s a little bit embarrassing but this is the song haha
