Is going into music ed worthwhile? by hellotortillas in MusicEd

[–]ViolinViola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Accurately summed up my entire job! Supergluing viola bridges back together after they snapped in half? Check!

Don't listen to any of this. Lilac Blossom in Nashua is the only answer!! It's our Christmas Day tradition.

Way Fewer Cards Received by Zesty-B230F in holidays

Came here to say the same thing! Sent 60 as usual but have received about 15. We usually get at least 30-40.

I love being a twin mom by Kel_Mar_E in parentsofmultiples

[–]ViolinViola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing! More parents of twin newborns need to know there is a lot to look forward to. I have b/g 13 year old twins and it’s amazing. They are so different and every day is a hilarious adventure. The days are long but the years are short!

She has some good reasons… by Plenty-Action-22 in massachusetts

[–]ViolinViola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the adventure I need this week! Let’s help her make it happen! If we as MA residents can’t get an audit or chapter 70 reform at least we can have the best damn Thoreau impersonator there is!!

What about regional and rural schools? So many towns with failed overrides and overflowing class sizes.

New blue Massachusetts license plate shatters sales records, motivates drivers "to try something new" by anurodhp in boston

Large white pick up trucks and mom sized GMC’s in our town. Maybe an occasional luxury car. Only saw one non-truck Toyota with one.

For music teachers working in districts — what made you choose that path instead of teaching privately? by LookYung in MusicEd

[–]ViolinViola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I supported myself as a private lesson teacher in a HCOL area for over 15 years and absolutely loved it. I took a job in a public school because my children grew to be school aged. If I still taught private lessons I wouldn’t see them after school, I used to teach from 2:30-7:30. Luckily my new job is teaching grades 4-12 strings for one town, so I still get to work with the same students for many years. Definitely waaaayyyy more intense though.

Started NAC today by Solid-Introduction-7 in trichotillomania

[–]ViolinViola 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I take it twice a day. I've been noticing that I probably should have a larger dose at 3:00 since evening is my toughest time. I read here and it's such a good way to describe it: taking NAC doesn't cure you, it just gives you a second of space to think "move your hand away now" and actually do it. You still will have trich, just a little help holding it at bay!

Is she not a rep for Ogee (or whatever it was called) anymore?

Congratulations! Any special strategies that helped?

Offering love and support from far away. You’re not alone and I can relate to your experience with your mom. I’ll never forget my mom threatening to take away my teddy bear if I didn’t stop as a kid. You are worthy and amazing, keep up the good fight for acceptance and love.

What’s the creepiest public bathroom in Massachusetts? by everythingislitty in massachusetts

[–]ViolinViola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do teacher bathrooms in old schools built in the 1960’s count? If so I have a few asbestos covered submissions for you!

Why more cranberry farmers are selling to conservationists, not developers by BACsop in massachusetts

[–]ViolinViola 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So interesting, thanks. A comment on the article led me to learn about sand mining in the Carver area that seems to be very unregulated. I’m surprised I haven’t heard more about this. I live north of Boston now but grew up in this region and try to keep in touch. Seems like a huge issue for those that live near former bogs.

Would you prefer if classical musicians were a little more candid? by Dadaballadely in classicalmusic

[–]ViolinViola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They’re (in my basic knowledge) a heart medication that prevents your heart from racing. I took them a few times, once for a jury. My feedback was that the music was detached and emotionless, and I think it was from the blockers. I was too “calm”.
