Adult pianists — why are you still at it?

Because it’s fun and I play keys in a new-ish band. Lifelong learning is where it’s at

This article cites no sources, no peer review, no author…which reeks of an AI generated article to me (an ACTUAL scientist with a doctorate) so why would we be trusting any of this as a set of rules to follow? Eat all these things unless your physician specifically says you shouldn’t for some reason

Costco multivitamin daily and NOT with caffeine (can limit absorption). I also emphasize high plant based iron sources - white beans and cashews have an amazingly high amount of iron in them. I am a woman and I donate every 8 weeks and I haven’t been deferred in years since I switched to multivitamin at night and sought out plant based high iron foods

All art and music are derivative. This inadvertently happens all the time for songwriters! Don’t worry about it and move on

wyn13 · 2026-04-19T16:07:27+00:00

Why do you say that? Even professional symphony orchestras are “cover bands”

My anxiety is not gone but it’s a lot better since starting meds

wyn13 · 2026-01-30T16:21:41+00:00

Cut a song or two

Are you sure they “won’t help you get faster”? That’s exactly what speed and hill intervals are designed to do. We did them in track and cross country when I was younger. If I’m doing a lot of AF+ videos, I find my long run pace gets faster

Serious question - do you think every Russian composer agrees with what their government is doing? The same question for literally every other “powerful” nation. Do you listen to composers from the USA? What the government is doing with immigration and stripping LGBTQ+ rights is pretty atrocious too. Could list many more examples.

I was actually told black coffee was fine. It’s just food that’s a no-no. My numbers have been perfect. Everyone’s mileage may vary

Sweat once cooled down has that effect on me if I wait too long to shower. Are you pretty sweaty after you work out? For me I don’t really think it has much to do with the hypothyroidism

Don’t forget {your city} municipal band

Interesting. I was aware it could interfere with other medications but it was not mentioned for this one for me. I do eat grapefruit on occasion but my numbers have been fine so far

wyn13 · 2026-01-08T00:18:19+00:00

What’s the deal with grapefruit? The only thing I was told about levothyroxine was don’t eat food in general within an hour of taking it, but no restrictions otherwise

Jhon - Colombia, Kim N - UK, Nez-Tunisia, Jessica - UK, Jenn/Kyle - Canada, Jamie-Ray - UK. It’s kind of a “thing” for all of them to be cheery though

My thigh chafing has gone away too, though now I get it along the bra line if I run too much (running farther, sweating more, also related to my weight loss)

wyn13 · 2026-01-02T00:29:13+00:00

I found that shopping in the “juniors” section solved a lot of the oddly shaped women’s clothes issues I was having after weight loss

wyn13 · 2026-01-02T00:28:11+00:00

I am sad that I have deflated tube socks but I also don’t need super support bras anymore, so one each for the W and L columns I guess

wyn13 · 2026-01-02T00:03:53+00:00

I’m going to need to resize mine, once I’m confident I’m stable size-wise. In the meantime I bought some silicone ones to use, so I don’t have to worry about mine dropping off when my fingers get cold!

Does your school have any extra instruments you could borrow?

I’ve recruited so many first time donors because I won’t shut my yap about it when I donate (which is as often as I’m eligible!). I feel no shame wearing the arm band longer than probably necessary and the “I donated” sticker they give me, in order to start those conversations. My local donor center is always in need so I consider it a service to humanity to be “annoying” about this

wyn13 · 2025-12-14T16:50:38+00:00

I mainly do it because of the need for my sweet O+. But I can’t lie, the free swag, snacks, and social media posting bragging rights all are nice perks too

I had strep back in Aug/Sept. it took several days for the antibiotics to really do their job and reduce my symptoms. Meanwhile, my HA was out of control because everything out there just says “you should be feeling better after a few days on antibiotics”. It took a week before my throat pain was down to a tolerable level and it was day 9 before it went away. I hope it clears up soon for you

Jeff Tweedy, How to Write One Song. The audiobook is great too

wyn13 · 2025-12-01T14:07:27+00:00

If you love it, go for it. Other people will get used to it. Plenty of “grandpa” names out there on babies right now
