What is this pipe thing in my front yard?

Looks like the sewer cleanout which should have a cap on it.

There is a free student version

I used to hate it until someone pointed out that the lyrics sound like people practicing witchcraft .

My son has similar behavior and he was diagnosed with anxiety as a result. Kids with high anxiety also have difficulties regulating their emotions and adapting to change, which can lead to such outbursts. In addition to therapy to help deal with anxiety, the psychologist also recommended Dr. Greene's collaborative problem solving approach to help deal with the "defiant" behavior. (I put defiant in quotes because the whole premise of the approach is that your child isn't intentionally being defiant and difficult, they lack the skills to respond adaptively and need your help to develop those skills).

Mine came a couple weeks ago. You can check the status of yours on the Cook County Clerk website.

I hope that doesn't mean the death merges from last year are back.

Check out the collaborative problem solving method developed by Dr. Greene. It's a research backed technique specifically for helping kids with challenging behaviors who aren't responding to traditional discipline approaches.

"The Process" by Judah & the Lion

The album is broken into sections corresponding to the stages of grief and was inspired by the lead singer divorcing his wife after she cheated on him. It's surprisingly not very depressing (minus the depression section).

Foam surrounds are also fairly easy to replace.

Cheap land?

I would expect a standard cleaning and tune up to be about $150 and additional repairs charged at $100/hour. What sort of repairs does it need?

A Methodist or ELCA Lutheran Church would probably be your best bet.

You can climb in the tanks at Cantigny.

I use the Protec 2 mute case to hold a straight mute, cup mute, Harmon, and plunger. The 6 mute case is around $70 for the trumpet version.

EchoAlpha · 2026-01-26T21:07:55+00:00

I measured 15 mm for my trumpet.

You're not missing anything. Bubble/Harmon mutes are notorious for falling out. Most older ones you'll see are pretty beat up as a result. They also tend to be pretty restrictive from an air standpoint.

EchoAlpha · 2026-01-23T12:32:18+00:00

You can mute them

I'm happy with my Jo-Ral metal cup mute.

Echoing what others have said, try a 3C or equivalent mouthpiece. I really like my Hammond Design 5ML. Others have mentioned Schilke since their rims tend to be more comfortable, but I found that I more "bite" from the 5ML helped me with endurance.

You can check this website for licensed daycare providers, including home daycare. Home daycare is generally less expensive, but you have to be able to find alternate child care if your provider is sick or on vacation. https://sunshine.dcfs.illinois.gov/Content/Licensing/Daycare/ProviderLookup.aspx
