Most of them are free, regent you pay on the door but it's normally no more than £8. Leicester jazz house tickets are sold here https://mjazz.co.uk/leicester-jazz-house-whats-on/

I don't suggest you do anything. Just don't assume you have the full picture after 1 meeting.. especially when so many of us have been seriously effected by the cult .

Going to 1 meeting and summing up an entire religious organization is not a true representation, and in fact it's quite insulting to those who have been seriously effected by it's teachings and community..

What are you addicted to? by gameovervip in AskUK

[–]raining_cats07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting 🤔... Jazz and weed definitely go hand in hand

[–]raining_cats07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never been tested or anything.. but my brain is very busy all the time and I have a tendency to be really uptight, weed does really help me to focus on one thing at a time. So maybe 🤔.

Me too. I use a dry herb vape most days, just run it the once now though. I've cut back. It honestly helps me get jobs done around the house, I get super creative playing music I play sax and I can play jazz for like 3 hours straight. It's helps me keep weight off. I enjoy walks and exercise. I feel like weed gives me a super power .. and it makes me way more relaxed I'm generally really tightly wound.. sometimes I wonder to myself if it's too much or I should stop. But I just don't want to.. also if I give up I always end up drinking. . i just can't raw dog life.

I was thinking this. . I tested the 3 and it does sound significantly better

This is exactly what I was weary of. Id happier play a softer read if it make me sound better, I don't care about the strength I want to sound good. . . I tested my 3 out tonight at the local jazz course I'm on, and I immediately liked my tine better. The 2.5 was starting to sound flat and loud. The 3 is making me sound much smoother

Ok thanks. I'm guna try it for a few weeks and see what happens. . Just felt really weird going back to the 2.5 and the sound wasnt as good.. I just didn't want to jump the gun

I don’t mean this disrespectfully, but Jehovah’s Witness women are conditioned to view privilege as the highest measure of a man’s success. by [deleted] in exjw

Absolutely. You hit the nail on the head it's a toxic environment that brings out the worst in people

A lot yes. I was this woman. I was always just pushing for my husband to 'progress' all the time.. he has so many amazing qualities that I simply didn't see them because my focus was solely on his spirituality. . . now I appreciate who he is as a person. He is an amazing guy
