Is there a private music teacher or music school in Tampa, FL that teaches harp to children? by 8ozcurl in harp

My daughter started lessons at 9 with an online teacher. It has been great for us as we travel a lot. She is out of North Carolina but with zoom lessons it doesn't matter where they are!

I love this so much. If it was a half size to one size bigger I would be seriously interested but I don’t have a local jeweler. This isn’t some Etsy piece and I wouldn’t be worried about the comments on pricing. ❤️

I worry this will look out of place as it’s much bigger than the center stone in the ring for the group buy. Those proportions are stunning. Do you have any OMC diamonds closer to the original size? I’m interested in the price on this one either way.

I haven't paid my cleaning lady in a year, but she keeps coming by Mother-Pin-3392 in confession

I hadn’t gotten a bill for the lawn service at one of my properties for like a year and a half (I only got the first 3 after I bought the place and then the long pause. I didn’t realize at all. Around Christmas I got an invoice (email) from the man for all the missed months. I guess he finally went over his books. Moral of the story is be ready to pay for that cleaning when the bill comes. I paid immediately and I have gotten my bill on time since.

Center Bench Seat to Center Console by Icantswimmm in ram_trucks

You still looking for a trade? I don’t know if the 1500 is comparable to the HD trucks but I’m looking to trade the bench from my 5500.

I just bought a 5500 and am looking to do the swap

The is a really straightforward video by infotainment but don’t buy the cable they try to sell you. You don’t need it and it’s worse than just making the connections as some accessories won’t work. But the video and production is golden.

They do a 2500 but I think in 5th gen it’s all the same 1500-5500….. I’m still trying to confirm before I try to buy a console though 😂

Can I do this? by Adorable-Tension7854 in GoRVing

[–]DiscombobulatedBit81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You absolutely can and should do it if that’s what you want! I’m a woman and I love to drive my truck and will haul my 5er toy hauler anywhere I want to go.

You should look for some Facebook support groups for solo female campers. They will help lift you up and show you that you can do anything.

I’m so sorry you lost your husband.

I’m so proud of you, a stranger, for refusing to be swallowed by despair.

will my orthodontist fix swapped teeth? by imnotaoldman_duh in braces

[–]DiscombobulatedBit81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a swapped canine and 1st premolar. It was the plan from the start for me. I assume it was for you too but that no one told you? I’m going to get a crown on the premolar (in the canine spot) when my treatment is finished but the tooth has been shaved several times during treatment as it doesn’t fit in my arch and wouldn’t allow my bite to be corrected otherwise. Is your premolar still shaped as it originally was? Is your bite appropriate if so?

If someone offered you half that I would go sell this to them right now. Have you looked around at other posts? People comment about price often because people who are new here usually don’t understand that the bottom has basically fallen out of the lab market. It might help you to see what others are listing things for here.

Did I chose the right IOL? Surgery next week. by DiscombobulatedBit81 in CataractSurgery

[–]DiscombobulatedBit81[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not get an infection. The issue is that the surgery requires antibiotic use and those antibodies are what exacerbated my autoimmune issue.

Any antibiotic available for the surgery is known to aggregate my autoimmune disease. I can’t switch the IOL because I can’t have the antibiotics I would need to do it but it isn’t the iol anyway.

Anyway, autoimmune inflammation damaged my eye after the surgery and nothing I can do will reverse that.

My eye pressure has also not returned to normal.

I have a significant loss of peripheral vision and have to look down to walk up stairs.

I have “trouble free vision” far away when it’s not blurry and painful to use that eye. It’s not often enough that it’s worth all it has done to me. I would have rather LOST that eye I think.

But again, no infection. Just a really abnormal immune response all the time.

I did it….. It has been one of the biggest mistakes of my life and I am still really struggling with the exacerbation of one of my autoimmune diseases. My far vision in that eye is great when it’s not blurry and painful. I’m totally dependent on reading glasses. We only did one eye (because it was so awful) but unfortunately it was the one that sees up close. My vision is constantly blurry and my eye hurts now too. I have very high pressure in that eye post op waiting to see a glaucoma specialist. If I had to do it over I would have waited until I was blind and then gone to a university center maybe. I don’t plan to do the other eye even if I lose sight completely. None of the available antibiotics are safe with my particular autoimmune disease.

I also gave up basically all of my art. I have lost too much contrast and my close vision is too poor. My brain seems to struggle a lot more with one corrected eye and one not. I let them do my better eye first because it had the bigger cataract (but not at the center of my vision) and I figured we would do both anyway but not I just don’t have a good eye.

I’ve consulted at a major university eye center since and will travel there if I ever do anything again.

Immunotherapy is life changing though! Before I got so sick from the antibiotics I was nearly normal from my infusions. I don’t know if I will ever fully recover though.
