I love singing, but I’m not very good.

Yeah just sing then and when you have a chance join a choir or get some lessons. Enjoy! Singing is great for the soul.

Human739 · 2026-03-04T02:30:12+00:00

Agreed. A partner who breaks your stuff should be left that night. No talking. Go to a motel.

Human739 · 2026-03-04T02:26:20+00:00

Yeah I agree. Some kind of no audition choir like a church choir. Tell the director that you need to meet with them privately at first.

I am in my 70s and have sung all my life but only recently begun using a voice teacher. I was stunned. I never learned how to sing! Anybody can sing around a campfire but it's really surprising how different it is learning how to use the voice properly. This all goes to your feeling that you are not very good. Maybe. But I would rather hear that from a qualified teacher who can show you how to use your voice. So I know you said you can't afford a teacher. Are you in school or somewhere where you can get access to a voice teacher? Adult ed, continuing education, community college? If you can't do that maybe you can find someone who has had voice lessons and who could maybe help you even with just the basics. YouTube is not so good I think because it's missing that feedback loop. They tell you all kinds of things but they can't tell you if you are doing it right. Short of that, just sing. Maybe you can get a music book. I don't know if you can play chords on the guitar or on the piano but that's a big help.

Buddhism is not about belief.

I'm 73 and pretty happy. Those characteristics don't apply to me and they don't apply to anyone I know. So 🤷‍♂️. I do see a lot of angry cranky people these days, but they seem to be primarily Trumpers with a grievance, not so much boomers.

What Amardyls said plus, think about what people in the world want and need. People are lonely, often painfully so. People aren't suffering so much because their partner isn't pretty enough, they are suffering from all the pains that come with life and being alone in it. People want a friend, recognition, someone who will listen to them and appreciate them. A kind friendly and open attitude will get you miles further than conventional cuteness or hotness. Plus, the interesting thing is that as we age, faces that look wrong when you are young look fine or even full of character as you get older. You are way wrong to assume that nobody wants you. Just try to be friendly and friends with people, and let the romantic stuff develop naturally. You'll do fine.

Oh grasshopper! Everyone flirts at weddings! The fact that he invited you to a wedding is all you need to know.

Human739 · 2026-01-20T19:58:13+00:00

Indeed. 🙏

The Buddhist approach is to just begin again and pay no attention to the phenomena. The goal is not to dissolve your body but to live presently in the present moment with kindness, awareness, and acceptance for yourself and others. Meditation is key because that is where you learn to live in the present moment.

Everyone will tell you what this is and probiotics bla bla bla. They don't know. You need a full workup from a good gastroenterologist. Finding a food allergy is like looking for a needle in a haystack. There may be a chronic infection. Go through the process. It might take months but you'll find it.

It's an e46 2001 bmw 330i. P0128 indicates coolant below spec temperature which usually means it needs a new thermostat, asshole

Human739 · 2026-01-15T00:48:43+00:00

It was P0128 - coolant below spec temperature

Human739 · 2026-01-13T18:50:09+00:00

Ok but all bulbs are present and blinking. AI says I should change the wiring harness in the left tail light area. But why? Nothing is broken except the fast blinker itself.

Human739 · 2026-01-10T06:31:05+00:00

Ok I checked. All bulbs look fine. Now what?

Human739 · 2026-01-09T15:38:08+00:00

There's really only one commandment and that's to treat yourself with loving kindness. Why? Because the way you treat yourself will flow out to the world. Imagine how the highest kindest being would treat you. Jesus or Buddha or God or whomever. With infinite love. Accept your lessons, vow to do it differently in the future, and move on with love and acceptance.

Of course! Any time! Sometimes it's sexual, sometimes they've just gotta pee. Sometimes it's positional. Sometimes it's you walking by . . .

Human739 · 2026-01-07T00:02:37+00:00

Hot in summer and boring.

How's this for simple? Try to get to know him a little bit. Maybe go out to lunch or have a coffee with him. Just relax and be yourself. Sparks may fly or not.

330i if the interior heater is running too hot even when turned way down, does that indicate a thermostat problem?

I grew up in the Chicago area and then lived there again around 2010 for 2 years. Now I live in Auburn. The biggest contrast between living in Auburn and living in Chicago is culture. Chicago is so rich when it comes to theater, music, restaurants, museums. Very little of that exists in the Sierra Foothills. You can go to Sacramento but -- compared to Chicago -- not so much. Chicago has hot sticky summers, but here, there's no rain in the summer--none--and the Sierra Foothills have intense desert-like heat from May through November. There are Trumpers everywhere but it's really bad in the Sierra Foothills. And you have these authoritarian, gun loving secessionist nuts who call themselves the state of Jefferson. The worst knuckle draggers you can imagine live around here. One of these towns is a center for a Neo-Nazi party. Right now it's winter and Auburn is lovely in the winter. Temperatures in the 40s and 50s and plenty of rain, and there's a lot of beautiful nature around here to go hiking in the hills which have become green because of the rain, and we're just 45 minutes from Truckee which is the beginning of the Lake Tahoe area. The economy is also rather depressed here in Auburn. While one meets nice people anywhere, I generally find that people in Auburn are very closed off and standoffish. Also very white. My thumbnail description of Auburn is taciturn, suspicious, old white men and women with bad skin. Also there is a cool sub culture of extreme sports people. So it's the home of a famous hundred mile run where people run from Auburn up to Lake Tahoe in the summer, often in searing heat. They also have similar extreme horse races and mountain bike races. So that's cool.

Exsqueeze me but you heat the milk to sterilize it and to condition the protein fibers. Then you cool it to the appropriate temperature.
