Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for November 24, 2020

Sleeping next to a bathroom.

The eerie sound of cars driving slowly in the snow. Mostly so they don’t get caught by the cops for not having chains on… as the make their way to somewhere that they can!

…as long as it is not torrential. Lately, I have had some problems with poor drainage!

I use that sound on my google mini as a sleep aid.

Maybe the sound of the rain drip, drip dripping into the pot by your bed???

Uh… But it’s not raining.

as long as the water is falling outside your walls and not inside somewhere!

Yes, it’s waking up to the sound of the rain, realizing that you don’t have to get out of bed and go back to sleep.

That’s why I always play the rain sound on my alarm clock throughout the night.

It’s better to be able to sleep when I want to!

It’s better to be next to a non-snoring wife!

More people are moving to Seattle. Maybe that’s why.

Yep! The sound of the surf is even better! ;o)

Not a thing in Phoenix

Yes, it’s very nice. Got to do it just last night…

The Cascades would sort of agree with Aunty. She’d probably be old enough to remember them and that song.

it’s very soothing to hear

Better? Yes – having someone under the covers with you sharing the rain sound.

Waking up to the sounds of songbirds singing instead of the neighbors barking dogs.

Rain on a tin roof on an old farm house…….

no

You have obviously never had to pull gate guard duty.

The sound of surf does it for me.

Nope. Except maybe the sounds of waves gently hitting the beach.

Never for me: I’d be in the bathroom all night if I heard running water. I use a fan as both a sound device and to keep the air flowing to avoid having my allergies act up. As a kid, I did enjoy the sound of rain on the metal roof of the trailer we lived in, would enjoy it today if not for the trials of being old.

Yes, listening to the sound of the train horns in the distance while I’m listening to the rain on the roof. Heaven!

So long as it stays On the Roof and not on the Rug.

Ocean waves are awesome to fall asleep to! But being from Seattle, I do enjoy a good rain storm.

I agree…I even have a sound machine with rain, for when it’s not raining.

A cat purring.

My husband snoring lightly. The nightmare would be him not being there anymore to snore. Ask any widow.
