Oh man.... This sounds like an AA meeting. But I just broke up with a woman I was dating.... One of my first thoughts was oh man. My second thought was well I can spend more time playing on my piano

My second thought was well I can spend more time playing on my piano Haha! It's always the first thing I think of too when anything bad happens. Or anything good. Or anything at all really. I recently got a pay rise at work and you can guess what was going around in my head as my boss was listing the (literally) hundreds of additional responsibilities I will have.... All I could hear was "piano, piano PIANO more money to buy a piano" as he was talking. I left his office with no idea what the job even entails, but I do know that I now have more money with which to buy a piano.

When you sometimes sit beside your piano just admiring it, or when you pat your piano lightly before or after playing, appreciating it like a friend or pet. Chopin was known to do that.
Slow down and do it right. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.pianoworld.com/forumpicts/MOYD12/MOYD_789012.gif)

I was at a seminar the other day and was tapping out chords with my pen- all I could think of was piano.

Awesome! I do that too. I say goodnight to mine each night. And there are two framed pictures of Chopin on top of my Piano.

When you suffer from nightly piano insomnia. I have decided that my increasing obsession with piano is a bit like when you first fall in love, as currently I also feel sick all the time and can't eat properly. Madness!

...you have a category 4 typhoon bearing down on you and all you are worrying about is losing power and not being able to play piano.
This is a really good argument for an accoustic, isn't it? three typhoons later (!), I've lost power twice. The first time, ~half a day; this time a full day and counting! I really need an acoustic!

So glad that I'm not the only one doing that... My hubby says that he is glad that I never looked at another man like I look at the piano. So what else can I add... Maybe another sign is that someone leaning against the piano or - gasp - putting something on top of it - changes you into a sable tooth tiger mother defending her cubs?

When you miss your piano when you are out and say hello to it when you come in.  Toastie it might indeed be piano Mary Ann I had my piano lesson last Wednesday afternoon and suddenly in the middle of the lesson it started to thunder! My teacher and I looked at each other and found it quite atmopsheric. Piano is 110 years old so no problems playing during a storm LOL.

I thought there was a way to do multiple quotes in a reply but I can't figure it out. *confused* Anyway, in response to Tubbie, Frycek, EdwardianPiano and Barbareola: I am also a confirmed piano-petter. It's nice to know that I'm in good company.

This is a really good argument for an accoustic, isn't it? I've been thinking this for 2 years. Using electronic pianos, I found that there is NOTHING more boring than a blackout... and NOT having a piano to play. Blackouts are the perfect time for piano, so I have an acoustic on the way.

The leccie came back on at 4am and it was all I could do not to run downstairs and start playing. I would have, but I really needed the sleep! Mary Ann I had my piano lesson last Wednesday afternoon and suddenly in the middle of the lesson it started to thunder! My teacher and I looked at each other and found it quite atmopsheric. Piano is 110 years old so no problems playing during a storm LOL. During the first of the recent typhoons, I was asking a piano friend here for atmospheric suggestions to play during the typhoon. He was playing Chopin's Fantasie Impromtu and suggested something by Janacek. I'll have to look it up...

You just select the quote button and it does the rest Deb. That only selects the one post ... How do I select multiples from a thread and reply to them all in one post?
