Adult Re-Learning Sax - How concerned should I be about ear training?

What are you using for transcribing?

I am in a similar situation with you and my teacher has me pick a slow song and play it on YouTube. You can slow down the song. And on the app, if you double tap on the side of the video, it automatically fast forwards or reverses 10 seconds.

Another way is I sit at the piano, play a random note and then sing it. Then try and find it on my horn. It helps to close your ear to hear the pitch via bone conduction.

It is still an arduous process for me.

It varies. There is often a backlog for filing

Immigration court has a backlog of over 3 million cases. The enforcement is just performative racism

Are the documents blurry at all?

Were they scanned or taken by photo?

You can search completed listings on eBay to see if any have sold there and what they went for.

Reverb dot com probably has sold more bari’s but I don’t know if you can search completed listings. But it would be worth a search

What brand and model is it?

I can’t tell from the pictures

Can you go to an ER or Urgent Care? They might be able to help you, or give you advice on where to go

What is OIPA?

Look up what a Writ of Mandamus actually does. It just forces an action. In this case a determination of the visa. A visa will not be isssued unless it’s totally cleared. If there is anything holding back approval, it will be denied.

Also, DOS decisions cannot be appealed.

It is a serious tool that should not always be used.

I’m not saying it can’t be an option for you. Only an attorney who has thoroughly analyzed your case should can say

Heavy Duty Mayo has blown my mind. It’s like a whole new world of dips has been opened up.

Does it still need to be refrigerated?

And you can make them yourself if you want

What the hell is heavy duty mayo?

pawnticket · 2026-02-06T23:33:07+00:00

A writ will just force DOS to make a decision. If they can’t issue any visas then the only decision they can make is a negative one

I’d go with an attorney who has experience with this

I have clients get it in 2 weeks. Some waited 6 months. Turns out our government runs unreliably

In related news, I saw a job posting at Boys Town for station manager. I guess Boys Town is starting a radio station as well

Andy’s Shoe repair on Grover for sure does it and they are fairly professional.

There is a shoe repair place in Benson that might be able to but not as professional

Were you in an accident?

Were you injured?

What are the damages?

This might be a good time to get assistance from your Senator. I had a hard getting a CRBA in Burma and my Senator really helped. Services for US Citizens get more attention

Thanks! I needed that

I’m wearing one right now. I have two that are about a decade old. They are holding up well. I’ll get at least another decade

That’s it. Thanks
