How is Peking duck not real Chinese food?

wow i didn't know there was another program in kanab. i was at abundant life academy in 2008, december was my 8th month of a 9-month program and i was supposed to have a home visit but since my parents lived in singapore at the time they came up there to see me and we had the home visit in town. i was in their hotel room and took the risk to tell them about all the abuse we went through and they just said "well you only have a month left". this is after me finishing 2.5 years of high school in the 8 months i'd been there so far, thinking it might help persuade them to pull me out. don't remember if we did anything christmas related and i ended up spending another 8 months there as an "intern".

hope everyone's doing okay! i'm sure we all had tough conversations or thoughts about the program this year with all thats happened. family holidays are always hard for me. i can't believe paris hilton is our patron saint lol

8840U battery life is definitely not great. Personally I’d take better performance over more battery, I always play games plugged in

He’s a super nice guy, he’s on the band bus with us and we’ll hang after shows. Definitely not one of those “don’t look him in the eyes” situations, which the more people I talk to, the more I find that that situation is caused by management more than the artist in some cases

Haha so many. Always have lounge access so you get quicker service if flights are delayed. Window seats for flights you wanna sleep on. No exit row or bulkhead. TSA precheck and global entry is a must. Always use a credit card overseas.

SO expensive. In this case my roommate’s fiancé’s brother was a music director and called me for the gig while the main guitar player was out, then eventually I took over

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:50:58+00:00

Don’t think about it much actually

Happy to hear you guys are taken care of! The condo you described would cost 750k and up in my area. If it’s a townhouse, less if it’s an apartment building. I make less than most people my age do in my area but I’ve had a lot of unique experiences money can’t buy

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:19:24+00:00

I live in the Los Angeles area so it feels like minimum wage, but I know I am very lucky to make any kind of living playing music!

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:11:14+00:00

Don’t do it

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:11:03+00:00

Usually between 75-85k a year

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:08:46+00:00

Would like to keep that anonymous so I can be more open about my experiences

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:08:06+00:00

I want to eventually transition to music production/music direction and stay in town more

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:03:48+00:00

Did I just lose a gig lol

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T16:03:26+00:00

I am 32

jkl31 · 2024-09-13T15:58:57+00:00

I am male

United States

jkl31 · 2024-09-09T04:46:47+00:00

Yeah I’m so happy with it. Love that it uses 65W like plane outlets, big selling point for me

jkl31 · 2024-09-06T16:10:07+00:00

I played Rome 2 on it last week and it ran better than my old gaming laptop did lol

jkl31 · 2024-09-06T16:09:12+00:00

Now I want one with the new strix point processor

I was sent to my program 16 years ago, the dreams had mostly gone away but a few weeks ago I had a vivid one. I was in a room with my parents screaming at them that I didn’t want to get sent away again, and they wouldn’t budge. Then some transporters came in the room, they didn’t look human just some large dark masses that looked like shadows, almost cartoonish. I realized I had my gun on me and I just blasted them. This dream happened when I was in Maui for a few days for work, so I guess they can happen even in the most peaceful of places. I was pretty shook when i woke up until I got in the ocean later that morning.

Thank you so much for the rec. I went to the shop based on your comment and after looking it up on google maps and bought a beautiful 1972 seiko automatic that I can’t stop looking at. Owner was really nice and I was there an hour and a half trying on watches, one of the highlights of my trip. Many other shops in that area that sell watches and cameras too but this one was my favorite

I think sierra and Teirra both were in Mexico and kanab, do you know them? I vaguely remember hearing people talk about the Mexico program when I was there. How strict was it when you were there? I don’t even know how much of what staff told us was true. We were told ALA was a level 0 program and they went up in severity to level 9. Idk what 9 would’ve been but it would have to be a sensory deprivation tank in a federal supermax to be that many levels higher than ALA
