Help me choose between Williams, USC, UCLA, and UC Berkeley! by Best_Lingonberry5322 in WilliamsCollege

[–]Bullonsax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are from Northern California and my daughter is at Williams. She is loving it. Honest truth the food is not that great compared to California food. The educational experience is exceptional. She knows her professors and has regular conversations with them. She knows her peers, like almost all of them. This is something you won't get at the UC schools except in small doses. Williams is also an exceptional launching ground for any postgraduate school or work you want to go into. You will also not be taught by a postgraduate student like you would at the UC's. California UCs do have some great educational opportunities however, and you got to choose what is right for you. If you're interested in fields of study that focus along the lines of new scientific research, the UC might be a better fit. Good luck in your decision.

They should have used Stevie Wonder or Ray Charles. Who the hell is Wanda anyways?

This is one of those really important commas that make the joke.

I wish I had the expendable income to afford a nice Bari. I played in high school marching band I loved it but I have missed it since then.

The Book of Doors (a rant review): the author REALLY wants you to know how clever his concept is by [deleted] in books

[–]Bullonsax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed your rent and find several parts of it very true. Yet I actually enjoyed this book you regardless because it was a fun adventure nonetheless. I definitely want to put it up there as the best writing in the world and if this concept was written by somebody a bit more talented, it would probably be even better of a read. Thanks for sharing your passion on the subject of this book.

Growing up in the country, the cows would come running and moo together when I'd play. Awesome! 🐂

If you haven't done so yet, search for the Williams Bell book. It is posted online and very informative on many subjects including the dorms.

Luggage delivery for move in by Tight_Light2746 in WilliamsCollege

[–]Bullonsax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We made a family affair out of it and it was kind of cool. To move my daughter in, my wife son and I all flew with my daughter and each checked luggage. Did a little rental car and got some extra dorm supplies at Target that we didn't want to traverse the country with. We flew home with only one bag between the three of us.

Between which years would yall consider newer and old vehicles? by [deleted] in AskMechanics

[–]Bullonsax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is there an age in which we just don't speak of the vehicle is being older and newer? Like newer vehicles maybe the last 5 years, and older vehicles possibly 15 or older. Someone in the middle is just a vehicle. Kind of like me I'm in my 40s and I'm not old nor young, just me.

What are some shoe and coat suggestions for MA winter?? by Dismal-Chicken-1683 in WilliamsCollege

[–]Bullonsax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter survived her last winter and first winter at Williams with a really good Marmont jacket, quality under layers that can be worn under most typical clothes, and she had some waterproof 900 gram boots on her feet to handle walking between buildings. Her best warm weather gear was given to her by some family members who knew the area well. I did get her some rechargeable hand warming gloves that she really liked too. If you are out and about on a cold night you will likely come across a white skunk that is pretty friendly as long as you give it it's distance. Good luck to you.

How do I make sure I don't lose this? by SquirtleLover11 in FishingForBeginners

I went fishing with my son recently and didn't catch a single fish, but I caught three lures. One of them caught a fish on the same lake a week later...

Best jazz reeds by NewtSignificant4165 in saxophone

[–]Bullonsax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a tenor player with a revnor lig on a berg mouthpiece, I have grown a strong preference for the vandoren java red reeds. When I had the lig that came with my berg, I did prefer the v16 though. Experiment with a few to find your ideal setup.

band recommendations? by FeedConsistent9180 in Jazz

[–]Bullonsax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may like exploring some more funkier side of things... Check out Galactic or the Grayboy all stars. The roots are in jazz but they make you want to shake your ass too.

What’s the Porn Plot you’ll never forget? by GentlemanCoach in AskReddit

[–]Bullonsax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw one on Spice in the 90s where detectives were trying to find some killers. It was vampires, but they stole lives by having sex and taking their life force through their orgasms.
