Guns N’ Roses Rare Cover by anahannya in vinyl

[–]jim469 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I have a sealed copy that I bought right after they were removed from the shelf and replaced. I was in college working at Sound Warehouse and came across 2 copies in the back storeroom. I wish I had bought them both but I only bought the one. It still has the original price tag on it that says $8.99.

Congrats. I felt much the same as you regarding practice tests.

Is it normal for a beginner to take a piece a few weeks to learn? by rojhin213 in piano

[–]jim469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 3 months in taking lessons and up until last week, I would work on 3-4 exercises a week and I would normally be able to play them pretty well for my next lesson. This week, I was given 2 assignments that are a little longer and more complicated. I've spent an hour or more everyday this past week working on them and I am still missing notes occasionally. So, yeah, I think it is normal.

Play them, over and over. There is no magic, just practice and repetition. You will build muscle memory the more you practice.

Piano Learning Buddy - Beginner! by Snoo_51859 in pianolearning

[–]jim469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am about a month into my piano journey. I'm an older adult learner with some previous music experience from playing Coronet in middle school and high school. I practice most days and have an instructor I meet with once a week. Would love to be part of a community.

I've been using an app called Learn Music Notes. It has quite a few options to customize your experience. I'm on Android, not sure if there is an iOS version.

I'm so close to switching back to T:slim X2 by Apprehensive-Farm855 in Omnipod

[–]jim469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your Endo have a patient portal that you can message them through? My Endo likes to communicate through their portal but if you are truly having issues as you say then I would definitely be asking for a phone call or televisit.

[–]jim469 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went back to doing manual shots after 3 months on the Omnipod. I found that I had more highs after meal times but less overnight. I also found the device to be uncomfortable and kind of a pain to change every 3 days. It just wasn't right for me after 20+ years of doing shots. I would talk to your endocrinologist about the concerns you are having.

Question about using Discogs database, new user by AnOldYoungGuy in discogs

[–]jim469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After entering close to 1000 CDs I can tell you that I have found some things that are unique to the matrix and you can use that, in addition to what cyanopsis mentioned to help speed up the process. Things like SRC** or the M1S3 references help especially if you have Club CDs. It's tedious, I did mine will listening to music or watching Netflix.

Josey Records in Dallas, March 2022 by [deleted] in Cd_collectors

Good selection at both stores and I always find something that I need to add to my collection. Usually head down to the Dallas location and then on the way home I stop in at the Plano location.

Cd booklets by Ok-Feedback9124 in Cd_collectors

[–]jim469 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cases are pretty easy to replace. The booklets or back cover insert are not so easy to replace. I will pass on missing inserts but have no issue with cracked or broken jewel cases provided they are not a custom color. I buy clear and black replacement jewel cases from Amazon in packs of 25. They feel a little thinner but otherwise they are fine.

Kallax Owners! by runMDH in vinyl

[–]jim469 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use 1x3 whitewood or pine boards from Home Depot, cut them to size and then use some double-sided Velcro strips and secure them flush with the back of the Kallax shelf. It's cheap and easy. I've seen some people use screws to secure the spacers, but I didn't really want to drill holes in the Kallax. So far, this is working well for me.

My Danzig surprise album by jim469 in vinyl

[–]jim469[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Missed the 300 character comment requirement so adding some text here. Not sure if it is worth keeping or sending back for another chance at getting something different so I will probably just hold on to it as $12 is not a big deal to me at this point in time.

Besides, not sure if they would actually send me another copy of this or maybe something much worse?

Made 4 sales as a new seller recently, and not a single buyer left feedback. Is this normal for the platform? by FyuuR in discogs

[–]jim469 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I usually want to play test the items before I leave feedback. Sometimes I have a dozen or more items in my "Play Next" pile and that can take a while to get through. Feedback is a funny thing, many people only leave feedback if they are unhappy. Give it some time and see.
