Today's Question: 3/3

What time of the day do you most appreciate or need silence?

Re: Today's Question: 3/3

  • Mine is when I read.  Last night I was reading and DH was eating an orange with his mouth open.  I kinda flipped out after the third time I asked him to not eat like an animal.  I'm not sure what it is about oranges, but he is normally well mannered, but when it comes to oranges he's like a wild beast.

    Anyway I can't handle orange eating noises when I read.

  • There's not really anytime that I HAVE to have quiet. When DH and I first moved in together, I had a hard time getting used to sleeping with the tv on, but now it's just 2nd nature.
     Usually if I'm really focused on something it doesn't really matter what's going on around me, I can completely zone it out-esp. if I'm crosstitching or working on something crafty.

  • I totally suck...I haven't checked this board in a month I'm sure! I didn't even know you were doing this... but it's a great idea and I think I'll start chiming in. (I've been avoiding the nest due to lay offs...the less cards stacked against me the better....but I can start using my phone to do this)

    anyways...my answer..

    hmmm I would say I need total quiet when I am going to bed. The only noise I've ever been able to get used to is a fan and that's bc it's constant. No TV, no dog, no dryer...nothing!! (not even light..which I'm aware is not a noise lol...just showing you the extent of my weirdness about sleep) Other than that I have to agree with Meghan... I can pretty much zone out anythign when I'm working or reading.

  • I'm with you, MrsZP2B!

    As a PhD student, I have to read a lot of journal articles and I have to have complete silence in order to comprehend most of them!  Unfortunately, my office is a cubicle, so I've invested in some good earplugs :)

    I also tend to get annoyed with DH when he talks right through important parts of tv shows, but avoid that argument by keeping closed captioning on most of the time.

  • I need quiet the most at work, but since I'm in a cubicle farm I know it's never going to happen.  It is nice when abnoxious coirker isn't here.
  • I'm pretty easy and can tune most things out. When I am studying though, I need to be in a room, by myself, with no distractions. Other then that, I wake up about 1/2 an hour early just so that I can have my tea in solitude before starting the day. So silance then is much appreciated
