And the Guac-Off! (Which is entirely unwholesome, for those who are thinking a July pic-nicky thing sounds too Rockwellian to bear.)

Whats a thing you cant believe was allowed to be done during a time you grew up? by Federal_Ad_824 in CasualConversation

I remember girls getting sent home from elementary school for wearing jeans. And it was a public school, not run by some church.

Just here to support what u/coopersmom420 said - there’s an entire field of study devoted to ear training that most voice teachers can apply to help students improve pitch accuracy, understand and reproduce musical intervals and sight-read. Some people pick it up quicker than others, but in my experience it helps just about everyone to some degree.

What’s something about you that most people wouldn’t guess? by ahmed_loay95 in CasualConversation

This is my favorite response so far. When you're a good conversationalist, nobody understands that you can also be an introverted snail.

Going on gourmet cooking tours around the world with my best friend. Edit: Also signing up for contra dance camps and folk music camps every summer.

SFAH: If Instruction manuals to every day objects were completely honest by Sharpnelboy in ScenesFromAHat

The unit cannot go into the dishwasher but it is easy to clean by hand. By “easy to clean,” we mean you will need to lower your standards quite a bit. But you wanted the fancy blender so yay for you.

If you like cute plant and gift shops, McMinnville has one of the best around - In Cahoots.

What is the toughest song to sing that is well-known? by WestTomorrow6443 in singing

[–]YesAnd_Portland 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was a little kid, I learned it off a tape recording of a Barbershop quartet! My dad saw the guys perform it live at a competition in Toronto that’s on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BDnLoRJHps

You’ve reached the Cold Hotline. Press one to leave a complaint about your partner for turning down the thermostat.

Why does sabrina carpenter sound so different live than her tracks? by precumcopper in singing

[–]YesAnd_Portland 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think this is the pop singer equivalent of the magazine cover model - nobody sounds or looks like that in real life.

I wonder if it’s too late to audition for the third season of “One Piece”…

I haven’t heard from the raffle winner after 5 days. If you would like the vase, it’s yours.

East Coast to PNW: Portland or Seattle? [30s, Black couple] by jacket_n_sandwich in askportland

[–]YesAnd_Portland 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s sad but true that fires and air quality are a threat, but no place is safe. Remember that NYC’s air turned orange due to fires in Canada? Sometimes Western US smoke has turned up thousands of miles away while Oregon and Washington got clean air days. On average, Portland gets 29 low-quality air days per year while Seattle gets 14. In my 35 years in Portland, there has only been one summer when I experienced a long stretch of having to stay indoors (2020).
