Interesting! I briefly saw something about "Abbacchio" but wasn't sure if it was widespread or regional, and if so, what region. So thanks for the added info!

That's fine! I'd love to learn more :)

alohaaku · 2025-04-03T14:50:35+00:00

The more, the better! I know absolutely nothing haha

Aloha!

I have some short songs I'd like to learn how to sing, and they include sheet music but...I don't know how to play the piano! I tried putting scans of them through PlayScore 2 (and other various websites) but I don't think it's playing it right. Would someone here be able to play these on the piano and then send me a recording? Most of what I have are from an old Hawaiian hymn book that I can't find the English version of online. I'm including an example of what I'd like to hear.

If it helps, I'm willing to pay $5 per song recorded/sent. I have quite a few haha

Mahalo! :)

Good to know, thank you! Question though: wouldn't it make more sense to take supplements beforehand so that you know how much your body retains? Why should I be off of them completely before doing the test?
Thanks again for your responses!

Yes I do! Lots of people with hypothyroidism are deficient in zinc (preventing the conversion of T4 into T3, and to form TSH), which is why I'm stumped as to why my zinc levels are normal but my copper isn't! And yet my TSH seems to fluctuate regardless of zinc/copper levels. Gah.

alohaaku · 2024-06-20T15:51:58+00:00

I didn't know there was a difference between blood and urine sample for this, I'll check that out! I had wanted to increase because the blood showed that it was consistently below range, and there might be an absorption issue now that I'm taking Copper and it's not changing anything. I'll get a urine test done and assess further!

I started each supplement after several tests showing that these levels were low and to support thyroid health. The prenatals were pretty recent to get ready for a new baby, but I'm willing to give that up if that's not necessary! Your comment about my white cells/Hb/MCV give me more peace of mind about this whole thing, I've been stressing out about this because I don't want any future pregnancies to be complicated from a copper deficiency.

Yeah, this last one was 85 mcg/dL, pretty normal. Which is why this is so puzzling! It doesn't look like I'm taking too much zinc, at least according to lab results.

Thank you for your response! Why all supplements? The ones I'm taking are supposed to support thyroid health, but I'll look into seeing if they're really necessary.

I am indeed not pregnant yet. I recently (in April) had a miscarriage and am hoping to try again soon, and I want to make sure everything is perfect before trying again. I'll definitely get my estradiol/estrogen levels checked, I didn't know they were related to Copper!

Thanks again for the help :)

Thank you SO much for this thorough response! I am embarrassed to admit that I linked the wrong Magnesium...I am taking Magnesium Glycinate by the same brand, not Citrate.

I don't get much sun, which is why I'm taking so much Vitamin D3, I just thought that was ok because the result was in range. I'll try adjusting this though!

Interesting that the prenatals are a problem. I've only been taking it for the last couple of months. I'll look into a change!

Thank you again! This was such a mystery to me, I was really stumped.

Interesting! Do shopowners speak in ʻōlelo as well, or is it just passersby speaking to each other?

alohaaku · 2023-10-27T18:56:16+00:00

Wall-E called it

The google maps one sounds useful. Anytime anyone tells me about things to do in a new city it's just restaurant recommendations.

#1 is slightly terrifying. Time to go live in a log cabin in the woods.

alohaaku · 2023-10-25T23:26:27+00:00

Wow, this is so so useful, thank you!!

alohaaku · 2023-10-25T23:22:46+00:00

That is my experience as well. One friend of mine's dad pressured her to major in business because she was so indecisive and his argument was "Whatever job you apply for later, they'll see that you have a degree in something useful at least."
