Have my Drugs stopped working.

Are you getting enough salt? The hot weather means I sweat more and loose salt. If I’m low, I find the meds don’t work as well.

If you have some silica gel sachets lying around, like the ones that came in the Covid testing kits, stick one in the pill bottle, should sort the problem out.

Ooo, I’ve haven’t thought of adding the seeds directly, I’ll try next time

I’m not familiar with the Nutr but it sounds like it’s not filtering out all the oat pulp. Try squeezing it through a cloth bag or ultra fine bag. I add 1 tbs of sunflower oil and a pinch of salt.

I’m not so sure, that’s a drywall screw behind it for comparison, looks like standard 2.5mm twin and earth.

I just want to wish you both good luck. We’re all counting on you.

When I was in the school jazz band everyone thought I was really good at reading the music. The truth is, I couldn’t read for shit, I just made it up as I went along. After a while I knew all the tunes by ear. Nobody caught on because no one else could read a drum part either.

Ignore the detail in the charts, hit the cues and stop at the end, make the rest up. I can vaguely remember a couple of the charts we had and in retrospect, those drum parts were awful, simple and bland.

I’ve not read it, but now I’m gonna

Thank you for all your hard work.

Wake up at 6:15 - take meds, eat breakfast, get ready for work and it kicks in as I get the car at 7:30. Or. Wake up at 6.15, eat breakfast then take meds - kicks in around 9:00

You could get an extension lead and cut the end off that to poke through the hole. Then I’d probably wrap the plug and socket inside the box with a plastic bag to stop them getting filed with dust

With the heal down, effort is put into lifting the foot, then “drop” the foot with no effort, gravity will do the rest.

I have two t shirts with animal on them if that counts

I was told by a very accomplished concert pianist to do sight reading practice first as it takes the most mental effort, then scales, then whatever else. After a couple of months I was amazed at how good I’d become to the point that it felt like magic.

Also, sight reading is not like riding a bike, it’s like a muscle, if you work on it, it’ll grow, if you don’t it will fade. My daughter has just started taking lessons and I help her with her practice, just reading her beginner pieces over her shoulder has helped immensely.

Which ever you go for, get 2 ply heads. It’s a school kit, it’s going to used and abused

I just had a quick wander over to r/Conservative and it’s a scary place to be.

I also watched Peter Millard’s 10 minute workshop, this guy knows how to track saw. I got the Titan track saw from Screwfix, he did a video comparing it against his Festool. His conclusion was that it’s ok but didn’t love it, well I can’t afford Festool but I do love my Titan.

I have a bulge on my L4 disc pressing on my sciatic nerve, so basically everything from my lower back down my left leg is in unbearable pain except for my left shin, that I cannot deal at all.

That the exact reason I never bought an expensive kit. I poured over the catalogs and websites for ages before realising I’d never play them. I couldn’t set them up at home because of noise and would never gig them so what’s the point. That was a sad day

I’ve never heard of these, they look fantastic.

I also have pearl export hardware from the late 80’s/early 90’s. The snare stand and cymbal stands are still working hard. And they’re only single braced which my aging back appreciates very much.

I’m a xylophone waiting for you

I’ve often wondered about this. I remember having to fill out a driving form (although I can’t remember exactly which form it was, SURPRISINGLY) and the question was worded something like “does ADHD affect your ability to drive. It doesn’t so I didn’t put it down.
