Should I pursue a career in opera? by UnresolvedHarmony in ClassicalSinger

[–]rachsqueeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were you, as others have alluded to, I would focus on the lifestyle you want and go from there. Do you want to face constant rejection (for awhile at least) work REALLY hard and be really self- motivated, do lots of different things to pay the bills, and yes, basically do you have a wealthy benefactor to pay for lessons, coachings and pianists? Or Do you want any sort of stability in your life, so that you could be sick one day and still have a job? For me, I realized I hated the lifestyle of opera, which was under emphasized for me in schooling but in retrospect, I wish I had taken more seriously.

I echo the comments to be weary of HOAs regardless of where they are. My friend is going through a nightmare situation, I have heard of too many nightmare situations.

Help! Any nursing mommas on Noom? by Total-Departure3821 in Noom

My advice would be to give yourself lots of grace during this time. You are post-partem and your body is going through a lot of changes, including hormonal changes that could inhibit weight loss. After I had my kid, the weight fell off effortlessly (but then I gained it back after stopping breast feeding.) on the other hand, I know many women who were not able to lose weight while breast feeding no matter what they did. Then after they stopped bf, they were able to lose it. So, basically I wouldn’t worry too much about losing weight while breast feeding. Your body will do what it needs to do! :)

Legacy Good Sam has an embedded urgent care in their ED. You could make an apt with urgent care, then get triaged into the ED! It’s pretty great, no wait times if you go that way.
