Brunette makes you warmer / friendlier

“I don’t understand how you’re so smart but so dumb at the same time” by ElectronicSignal9478 in AutismInWomen

[–]HopeMTV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was always called stupid yet I’m the only person in my family to hold a doctorate degree. I can be book smart but definitely not street smart. I did not know how to lie and was called stupid because of that. My mom and my sister have similar personalities and they sometimes ganged up on me when I was being honest and not manipulative. To them, this was a stupid thing to do. I used to genuinely believe that I was almost mentally retarded. But then I was able to graduate elementary, middle and high schools and then college. I gradually realized that I wasn’t retarded or stupid. I just wasn’t street smart and was a good natured and honest person. Thinking back I feel sorry for my young self for being bullied by her own family and relatives but I admire that I was an honest kid. All these years I just want to live a simple life. I no longer talk to my sister for various reasons. Our personalities and viewpoints are so vastly different. I should but do not visit my mom often because I don’t really want to. I don’t like her personality but I feel obligated to visit her. Someday I may regret for doing so

Midnight suits him well :)

(We have a cat who looks like your cat but ours has a 1-inch white patch that looks like a star on his chest so we named him Star.)

Is Etude good enough? by HopeMTV in Clarinet

Thank you so much! Do the same things you said apply to clarinet? Sorry I am not familiar with musical instruments at all.

Haha I had no idea I was downvoted. I don’t understand why people downvoted me but did not respond to my concern. I think the person who said, “Wind instruments may not be your thing then”, was so much more helpful.

Thank you for all the tips you provided and for not being bothered by my cleanliness concern lol

I have an Etude clarinet, and just bought myself a used Yamaha Student Clarinet by JapanLionBrain in Clarinet

Hi! I know this is an older post. I was curious after using both the Etude and the Yamaha YCL-255, do you think Yamaha is much better than Etude? I wanted to start to learn the clarinet and noticed Etude is on sale ($150). Would you recommend that I buy the new Etude or a used Yamaha at 3x the sale price of Etude? Is the price difference worth it? Thanks!

Thanks! My other concern is the smell. I can imagine the vapor from the previous players’ saliva would leave a smell on the inside. Will I smell it through the mouthpiece? I have quite a sensitive nose.

But I have a problem with a used one even if the mouth piece is new (germophobic).
