To me woodwinds and brass seem harder than other instruments. If it were me starting over again I would pick Piano or guitar. There are lots of resources to learn and you can keep trying methods until you find one that clicks with you. Use a metronome, backing tracks, play your scales and practice in time.

It seems more likely to me that they were making a euphemistic pun about her breasts. What do they have to gain by going mask off?

I have the h&h of a Sherpa after a marathon. I breathe three times a minute. Sometimes i rust a little if I don't put lotion on right after the shower.

American Eagle probably doesn't make good jeans. They didn't 20 years ago last i went in that store. I don't see why saying someone has good genes is inherently racist though. That model from the ad is proportioned in a way that sells clothes or whatever. I don't see how it's different than saying a body builder that is symmetrical and well proportioned has good genes. No one thinks it's racist to say Ronnie Coleman has good genes (and no one doubts it. ) Or LeBron James (whose son is also a pro athlete.) If AA had used a brown model the controversy would be the same except replace racist with great replacement. Outrage drives engagement and that sells pants. American Eagle is working hand in glove with Trump to distract from the disastrous economy and sex traffiking.

I have a lodge set of pans for the last 15 or so years and you can tell which ones are most used because they are flat and the less useful to me sizes are all still bumpy. I think over the years I've eaten a bumpy surface worth of cast iron off several pans

I had a friend in hs with a pretty identical family situation (in the early 2000s) She was in her 20s for her first kid.

Oh cool. That looks like a good one. Getting up close mid waterfall is sweet.

Nice. Did you do the scramble? I always feel an intense need to be as close to waterfalls as possible.

I'm glad to hear that. I didn't want you to take my comment as a negative thing (about yourself, women or relationships.) In my experience, if you think someone is flirting with you they likely are. If you don't know why they are flirting then you are either selling yourself short or your gut is telling you something seems off. Either way, every person has to find the balance between paranoia and openness that allows for both a fulfilling relationship and not getting sim jacked.

It's weird that she won't give you a direct answer. Brushing off a direct question and then continuing with the previous behavior is troubling. Don't send her any money or gifts. You say she wants to get to know you more but you shouldn't answer any questions she has that could be used to defeat a security question challenge.

I can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all

That's gnarly. I assume the Harry Potter calendar mimics the traditional advent week 2, where Mary and Joseph throw caltrops from Mule back as they flee the evil census takers on their way to start a new life in Bethlehem.
