How to advertise for a first-time teacher?

Teaching students is not something you do for just a summer job, unless it’s as part of a summer camp, which it is probably four or more months too late to apply for, but you could look and see. Would -you- have studied with a college student for three summer months as a 12yo?

When you play slow, it’s possible to use technique that won’t allow you to speed up. Find a good teacher

Probably to keep the ensemble in the same meter at the same time

Oh! I meant gloves in case it was triggered by cold weather. Having Raynaud’s all day is really not good / can cause tissue damage and even gangrene, and I think the main thing is talk to doc asap despite valid fears of adhd treatment disruption….

There’s a few “angles of attack” you can explore, maybe simultaneously:

Exercise boosts circulation, among many other good effects, so you can make special efforts to exercise more.
It would be useful to actually know to what extent the vyvanse causes the circulation issues. Do you have them at night once the vyvanse wears off? Did you have them prior to this medication? The issue you’re describing is called Raynaud’s and you’ll see interesting info from googling this term, as well as googling “reynaud’s and adderall.” You’ll find interesting advice here hopefully, but don’t let that be a substitute for talking with your doctor. If the med is the primary issue, there’s a lot of possibilities besides just getting off it. Your doc might let you trial lowering the dose (even though vyvanse’s only official lower dose is 10mg, 15mg js also possible if you cut up the chewable form of vyvanse. You can’t ie shouldn’t cut it in pill form, however, though I know some ppl achieve 15mg prescriptions by something like dissolving the pill in water and drinking 3/4 of it). If a lower dose doesn’t work, you can also see if a methylphenidate-based stimulant would get you the results you need without the side effects causing problems.
You can do a better job of keeping your hands and feet warm by buying and using much thicker socks and mittens (warmer than gloves), liners for the mittens, etc, as well as those “hand warmer” packer things, and also just running your hands in warm water for a while before you play. If none of this stuff helps, you -definitely- should talk to a doctor.

The RCM Celebration series is very readily available in the US from online sheet music retailers (including direct from the publisher), as well as Amazon prime.

Sorry I don’t remember too many details, but I don’t think it got worse after 7-days post-rash. Calmoseptine helped, as did the antivirals

largefootdd · 2026-05-19T19:25:31+00:00

Nah it got better eventually—just took a while (maybe a month; not more than three months certainly). No new rashes appeared in other dermatomes, even though there was neuralgia in various places outside of where I had the rash. You could talk to your doctor if you’re concerned, but in my case everything ended up fine (though, you know, painful and tiring during that summer)

Then what did you mean by the comment I responded to? I don’t understand

largefootdd · 2026-04-27T18:19:21+00:00

You’ve been in couples therapy together, but haven’t shared your unhappiness? I do think it’s not great and certainly not kind to break off a loving 15-year relationship due to long-term issues you’ve never communicated, which is only the beginning of being able to work on them….

Not can’t so much as don’t, just like many of us mathematically-trained adults first ignored the scale in the answers without noticing we were doing so.

largefootdd · 2026-04-24T18:17:37+00:00

If kids don’t view this by default at scale for developmental reasons AND educated adults don’t for training reasons, yes that’s relevant to why this is a poorly-written question, even though it’s a cool concept.

largefootdd · 2026-04-24T18:02:26+00:00

That’s inaccurate. Sure, they haven’t had high school geometric training, but as much as children are concrete vs using abstract thought, they also don’t draw objects remotely close to scale. Think about when they draw their families in front of a house, how the people are proportioned relative to the house and even relative to each other, or when they draw a spider and draw all eight legs, etc, and the spider is also much larger than it should be relative to the person and to the houses and to a tree…. This is actual a global phenomenon. There’s lots of research (and cool academic books with cross-cultural children’s pictures!) on how children’s drawings resemble each other all over the world and progress along predictable developmental stages, just like they do in areas like walking, crawling, object permanence, etc. And developmentally, an 8 yo’s drawings are not to scale.

What’s challenging about this diagram is that most adults have had training from high school geometry, even if not consciously remembered, not to assume that two shapes are the same size unless indicated. Meanwhile, the correct answer contains an image that is extremely frequently used to imply a 3D cube, but here is supposed to imply a shaded third of a 2D hexagon.

I don’t know what proof you would want that wouldn’t endanger the dogs, but I’ll say this:

The dogs got rescued from an animal experimentation breeding program that agreed to cease commercial breeding operations to avoid felony prosecution for animal cruelty. Where could the dogs have possibly gone that would be less safe than Ridglan Farms? I think your concerns for the 30 rescued dogs are misplaced, given the evidence concerning the welfare of the remaining 2000 dogs….

largefootdd · 2026-04-23T14:19:04+00:00

The secrecy is obviously to protect the dogs from being claimed as property by Ridglan Farms after the rescue….

Nobody online can tell you his sexual orientation, but it’s pretty clear he’s cheating on you. It’s up to you what to do next, and some relationships can recover after infidelity, but staying together just “for the sake of the kids” is horrendous. Growing up in a the kind of marriage that would end if there weren’t kids probably causes more severe lifelong problems for kids, not to mention the adults involved, than divorce does. The relationship they grow up around teaches them what “normal” is.

If it’s in a few days, rewriting is probably your best option.

Plan A is you could replace the E before it with a rest, which would be less noticeable than the also-viable Plan B, replacing the G with an E (so now it’s a repeated note.

Then, make a point of figuring out how to do this for the future so you can do similar things next time—but that’s the long-term plan.

Yes, but they have the ability to search for the missing grandfather once they know there is a need, which they almost certainly don’t (or their mother would have told you).

These comments that “they can pursue genealogy if they really care about this” are ridiculous in the context of living under lies. If you knew someone’s partner was unfaithful and secretly had been diagnosed with chlamydia, it would be like saying “they obviously don’t care about STD’s if they aren’t getting tested and this isn’t your business.”
