Does anyone else hate windchimes?

send me a PM and i will see what i can do about the wind chimes!

They make my skin crawl! He's only there once a month? Those bad-boys would come up missing if he were my neighbor. You can always blame it on the wind!

Blame it on the windchime bandit

I love the sound of wind chimes. I don't have any, though. A friend of mine has her deck covered in them, and I love to sit in the comfy swing on her deck and hear the gentle breeze brush against the chimes.

Be careful though, I've seen things like this on Judge Judy . There's just some things in this life that we may not like, but must deal with. We can't always get our way!

Oh jeez. I love them. I love the big metal ones that sound like church bells tolling. On a breezy day, the music they make is unpredictable and haunting. It's as if windchimes give the air a voice all its own.

I also love the coo of a mourning dove, the rhythmic lap of waves on the pier, and the sounds of squirrels twittering in the brush.

I detest mechanical sounds of any kind. Have you ever noticed when the power goes off, you can hear silence in a whole new way?

Right on, George Sand!

I love them! Just like I love how the rain sounds when it hits a tin roof.

I like wind chimes that make a low sound. High pitch sound hurts my ears. So, thick wooden wind chimes are my favorite. I would probably like the ones describes my George, too, because they would be more mellow.

Well? You asked.

This is also probably why I adore listening to someone (with talent) play the cello, also like Native American flute music - especially if I am outdoors.

David Walton is local and has some CDs out. I've seen them at Cold Water Book in Tuscumbia.

zap,


He spends one day per month there?

Wouldn't it be a pity if, somehow, some vandal took the windchimes and pulverized them into dust on his patio some dark night in the early hours?

They must not bother you too much.

I'll look next time I'm over that way, George. I tried to find him online, but only found various times he's performed. Thanks.

David Walton is usually at Tim Stevenson's Art Gallery on
First Fridays. We've heard him play the flute there a few times.

Hi all,

It is funny how some things are so relaxing and calming to one person; yet, causes anxiety in others.

Personally, I love wind chimes, I love rain on a tin roof, I love to hear crickets and frogs, I love trees and plants.

Yet, I have a dear friend and she hates trees. How can one hate trees? Every single one has a unique personality. But, my friend said that if she bought a house with a tree in the yard; she would cut it down.

I even love the smell of dairy farms. They remind me of my grandfather's farm when I was a small boy. In my mind, I can still smell the cotton in the wagon, five foot deep, as I dove into it the freshly picked cotton.

I have another friend who hates crickets and will call an exterminator when he has a cricket in his home. In my home, don't you dare try to kill a cricket. They are welcome guests -- on my patio or in my home. I love the sound.

Since, in California I cannot find a house with a tin roof; I have a CD of rain sounds -- and I play it as I sleep at night. So soothing.

If anyone has any wind chimes they want to throw away; I will be happy to receive them. The nice ones can be expensive.

As the old saying goes, "One man's trash is another's treasures."

Maybe that is why God made us all unique. And, learning to live in harmony despite our differences is a sign of our maturing.

God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,

Bill

Bill this explains A LOT!

I love windchimes. I have 2 on my porch and a couple inside for decoration. I say, if the man is only there one night a month, try and figure out what night he is there and take the windchimes down and place them in a safe place and then put them back up before he gets there for his once a month stay. This way, you don't destroy someone else's property and you don't have to hear them all the time and your neighbor can enjoy them when he is there.

My current annoyance is that I have a wreath on my door that has pink and red berries (for Valentine's Day) and birds keep flying up to my front door wanting to eat them... poor birds!

Windchimes are the instrument we give the wind to play it's music.

How can anyone hate a windchime?

I'm laughing so hard right now imagining those birds! (Do they ever hit the glass?)

I do not like high pitched sounds of any kind. Wooden windchimes are cool....the "tink"-ing sound of metal ones cause me drink.

Aw heck, Bald Guy,

I would hang out with you even if you didn't smell like my grandpa's farm.

Y'all come back now, ya heah?

Bill

I like wind chimes, but perhaps you should send the ones at your neighbors out to Bill. And send him a tin roof too, how can anyone not love rain on a tin roof.

Well, I don't want to break the law by tresspassing on this guy's property, or they would already be on one of ya'lls chiming-loving front porches! My point is that it seems unfair to subject someone to something they consider noise pollution when one is not even there to enjoy what they love - all out of malice.

You could hire somebody to take care of the problem. I could use an extra buck.

windchimes are cheap. he would just put up another one the next time he was there.

they might be cheep. but one of two things would happen. 1) he would go broke! or
2) i would have the worlds largest collection of wind chimes!

The good ones are not cheap at all. Windchime.com

depends

All the good ones I've seen are costly. I love the Bamboo ones , and they are not cheap.
