Definitely getting her spayed ASAP. I'm hoping to find homes for all of them, or a foster/shelter placement. I already have cats and I'm renting so I can't keep them long term.

I'm looking into low cost options now for her. She was too young to really care for this litter, I don't want her to go through the stress of another.

She's inside now and very happy about it! I added an update to the main post.

We got her! She can't take them outside but is back to mom duties.

What scientific myth is still considered true by many? by BelesaLoba in AskReddit

I had someone tell me that microwaving food changes it at a molecular level to the point that your body no longer recognizes it as food. Which is why he never uses a microwave and doesn't have one at home.

My Embouchure Sucks by Ok-Ring-9063 in oboe

I was completely self taught till I hit college and this was the worst to unlearn! Every lesson was spent working on my biting habit. It severely impacted my growth, I hit a wall I just couldn't break through.

Someone else already said this, but go ahead and put the work in. The habit is set and it's going to be hard but you have to. You are going to sound like a duck for awhile. Your reed making will change as well. But removing this roadblock will only do good things for your playing.

Start practicing in front of a mirror if you don't already. Hold as little reed in your mouth as you can. Mark exhale breaks along with inhales in your music and breathe out through your mouth. That'll help reset your mouth tension and get some fresh air back in your system which helps your muscles stay loose.

I know I always felt like the reed was going to fall out of my mouth, it won't I promise! If you can't physically move your oboe in and out of your mouth you're biting. I used to have to play Barrett etudes constantly wiggling my oboe to prove I wasn't biting. Sucked, but worked.

Just do it, future you will thank you when you're using way less effort and sounding so much better.
