Returning to Tenor Sax, hoping to go pro. Should I get a metal mouthpiece or hard rubber?
Never played with metal before and just wondering how different the sound is. Also I see some rather cheap ones on Amazon (around the $30 price range). Are they worth the try?
1 AnswerJazz7 years agoAdvice?? Read on to understand...sorry so long.?
After a terrible break-up, relocation and overall major changes to my life and finances I had the full intention of just taking time for me & getting myself together, but lo & behold I meet a sweet girl loyal and committed who makes it known that she wants to be with me. Perhaps against better judgement I started a long-distance relationship with finances still a drag and its getting harder to dedicate my time like I'd like to and I feel like eventually thats gonna cost us. I don't wanna lose her but she makes subtle complaints now. I warned her I might've needed time but she was persistant and I admit it boosted my confidence amidst all the turmoil. Advice?

1 AnswerDiet & Fitness8 years agoLong distance relationship w/ a sweet girl. Crush on local girl. What to do? Read on for details.?
Its been a yr, we're great friends and I know she cares about me. We travel a little under 2hours to see each other once or more a month where money permits & lately money doesn't permit much. We both live at home taking care of our parents, initially we bonded so quick cause we related. Because of both our living arrangements seeing each other usually includes renting hotels which can get kinda costly cause one day together is usually a drag so we end up sacrificing an actual date with Netflix just to pay for an extra day and everything in between is skype and phone conversions. Amidst the separation anxiety a sweet local girl has become a great friend over night and I think a crush is brewing. It'd be so much easier to turn her away if my girl was within reach but the distance and the occasional doubt that we'll make it anyway makes me wonder. Advice??
2 AnswersSingles & Dating8 years agoStay friends or put a true effort to something more? Pls read...?
In a nutshell my ex is and has always been there no matter what but for some reason we've never made it in a relationship together (tried & failed 3x). Aside from one another our other relationships eventually fail to the point where we part and never ever speak again but me and her never seem to lose touch. Sometimes I feel like we are both just spoiled and could make it if we really try...we have great career jobs and aside from relationships we have our stuff in order. I don't wanna keep beating a dead horse but it seems like our paths never part too far. What to do?

These websites that have women (mostly white) walking butt naked thru crowded streets, sometimes even with kids present. Is there some art license that allows this to be legally done? Why are they never arrested?
4 AnswersLaw & Ethics10 years agoArousal a compliment to massage therapist?
I would imagine that slight arousal of the customer would mean the massage feels good. Sometimes I fall asleep and sometimes I wake up...like really wake up if you catch my drift. Each time I feel really good afterwards. Does the therapist look at arousal as vulgar or as a compliment?
5 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender10 years agoCan America just tell the truth already?
Okay honesty alert! Why is it so hard for us in America to just tell the truth and move on? In a world where we have micro computers, paper thin tv's and phones that do more then computers we still have the mystery of racism. Lets be painfully honest...#1.Yes, some of Barack's place in the White House stems from the race card. Sorry people its true. #2. White people, a lot of this is your fault, you introduced racism, whenever there is imbalance it has to repair itself. Racism was an imbalance that profited you all, now in correcting that imbalance there is a shift. Its gonna happen again when we see the first female president and again with the first hispanic and so forth. Its gonna happen until we finally see it so much that it doesnt matter anymore. Lets just be honest. #3. Black people, don't celebrate just yet. I hear us talking about racism a lot and believe it or not we also have our faults. Who do you think sold the slaves from Africa? Read up, it wasn't really about black and white it was more about Africans and Americans. Furthermore there were black people in America who owned African slaves(read up on it), so while you walk around thinking the white man is your enemy because of slavery be sure to take a good look at your black collegues as well. Finally we are not African American, all this talk about going back home seeing our ancesters is crap. Go to Africa and you will see why. Its a beautiful now, depending on where you go but its definitely not a homegoing celebration unless you are a well known movie star. You will beg to come on back to your home on that nice little street in America.
2 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoAm I the only one that Hates the Animus in Assassin's Creed?
I think its the result of a great game that did not know when to stop adding everyone's ideas. Sometimes you have a great idea and then someone has ideas to add to it and their ideas kinda screw up your ideas so you say...we'll try yours on the next game okay. I love the game but the whole animus thing makes me feel uninvolved to a certain extent. I'm not really Ezio I'm Desmond dreaming that he is Ezio and it really just feels that way. In Red Dead, I am John Marston. I feel it and I connect to it...here I just don't. Anyone else feel that way?
3 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoIs Arousal a compliment to massage therapists?
I'm not talking vulgar, intentional groping of oneself or anything, I'm talking about innocently laying there and just so happening to get an erection. I'm assuming for the most part it means the massage feels good. I rarely get a massage and not get one. I have large muscular legs that touch at the thigh so one therapist needed to part my legs...she ran her hand from the lower part of my thigh to the top accidentally touching my privates once while I was on my stomach and once when I'd turned on my back and as a result I had a pretty visible erection for the entire leg massage. I was a little embarassed but she apologized and even asked me if I needed a moment.

1 AnswerOther - Internet1 decade agoExhibitionist or just a normal adrenaline rush?
I normally save my showers for home as opposed to the gym however I had decided to work out really really late one Wednesday due to stress. So at 2am I'm the only one in the gym accept 1 or 2 workers not even in the building, so I shower. I get to my locker and dry off when the korean clean-up lady out of nowhere says "oh so sorry" in broken english. She keeps looking down and trying to figure out how to say whatever she was trying to say in english. I just say its okay and smile while fumbling with my locker combination fully exposed. She continues cleaning and trying not to look at me and I started to get a slight erection. I eventually get dressed and left but got a weird sexual rush out of it. Ended up calling my girlfriend and having a wonderful night. Is that weird?
1 AnswerOther - Skin & Body1 decade agoSpeak my peace or just play the role?? Long explanation.?
Okay I love my girl but I have a slight issue, allow me to explain. We both come from a mother/father household and our parents were heavily against shacking but we were sure that we had met the one and in our minds the shacking would not last long. Matter of fact what she did not know was I had already purchased a ring. I was gonna let us get settled and all and then pop the question. However after moving in one thing became very clear...she was not over her ex and living together revealed a lot of things I'm glad to know now. She going to see him and lying to me telling me that she was going to her mom's or sister's and there was constant back and forths between them. Anyhow I immediately decided that marriage was not the way to go right away. This eventually corrected itself and I'd say about 2-3 months into it things were back to the way they were, I had a good job and she began talking about marriage. I gladly took a trip to the mall with her to look at some of the sales on rings and since I could afford something much better then I already had I got another ring and took the one I'd already bought back. Again she never knew about the first one but somehow figured out that I'd bought the newest one. Shortly thereafter she was fired from her job and took things out on me and it escalated to a break-up very quick and unexpectedly for me...she even refered back to the ring stating that she doesn't even know why I bought it. Wow, that hurt so I stopped making payments on it. I let the situation blow over and she apologized however 3 months later when I was laid off do to the bad economy she was ready to leave me again and this time was secretly dealing with another guy behind my back! There was some childish crap that followed because I had taken enough and wanted to retaliate. This followed the fact that since the ring had not been paid on and on layaway for waaay too long it was put back and I was told I could not get a refund. I was frustrated and that lose of money hurt especially since I didn't know our status and didnt have a ring to claim for it all. These days things are nice and much better and we have moved on but there is no ring in sight. Her family likes to corner me and ask why I have not married their precious baby girl and its honestly frustrating because I feel like they are painting this picture of me being the typical scared of marriage guy when I was so ready that I've gone thru two rings. She never speaks up when these questions arise and I'd hate to rehash bad memories but I'd like to be understood and have them know my intentions where every bit the best its just their baby girl had a lotta unexpected unstableness.
2 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agoTwo Questions about Dogs?
I know I'm cheating with 2 questions but they're both about man's best friend...dogs.
1. I know dogs are loyal to their owners but what does it say about a dog who's more loyal to someone outside the family? Explanation: I dated a girl for two years my first day going to her house I noticed she had a dog and I'm a dog lover to the max so in seconds I'm over here playing with the dog and she's like frozen in the doorway. She practically begged me to move away from the dog because he supposedly bites. I saw no indication that he'd bite me and thought it was strange. Later her mom comes home and tries to walk by the dog and makes kissing noises at him and his viciousness comes out full throttle like he could kill her if she came any closer. For the remainder of our short-lived relationship this dog basically punked her and her mom nonstop but was so loving and friendly to me. About a month after our break-up the dog died. I dont wanna seem egotistic but I really felt I added a missing element to that dog...explain this.
2. Do dogs get jealous? Explanation: My brother has two dogs whom I play with to death every single time I go to his house accept for this one day where'd I'd met this girl who did not care for dogs and I'd bought her over. Since she did not care for dogs and we were fresh I did not want to have dogs all over me this particular day so their playmate was occupied pretty much the whole day. The following day I came back over and wanted to resume the role of playmate to the dogs and they would not even come to, me neither one of them! They seem so human and genuinely upset that I'd ignored them the previous day! Explain.
5 AnswersDogs1 decade ago3 Types of Dumb but exciting?
Recently had an outing at a strip club where my friend is a bouncer so I tend to get more attention then others. One particular stripper was everything you could imagine and did everything from showing more then she is legally allowed to explicitly groping my privates thru my pants so yeah I thought a lapdance with her would be nice. Long story short...she fondled and exposed me and began slipping just the tip of my penis in and out of her vagina. For a sec I was shocked and then I thought...AIDS, and jumped up. She did it like 3 times but I did not go all the way in...should I be concerned? I'm definitely getting a physical real soon!
3 AnswersSTDs1 decade agoHeavy Rain Question...beware of spoiler!?
Okay for those who have never played and/or finished the game and don't want a spoiler stop reading right now..........................................................You have been warned that this is a spoiler. Anyhow I have a question for the rest of you all. Since those us who've beat it now know that detective John is the killer and the little boy from those flashbacks what if he dies early on in the game? Does that prevent some of the crazy things the father has to do...I mean cutting my fingers off, drinking poison etc?
3 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoIs it weird to get aroused just because she saw it?
Recently I got a physical and for the first time ever my doctor was a pretty female. I know the doc sees it everyday and being that it was late in the day was probably sick of penises by then but weirdly enough I got quite a rush and a semi-erection. The fact that I've recently lost a ton of weight and am very proud of my body probably played a huge role and doc probably coulda been any female at that particular moment. A couple months ago I'd have been too embarrassed to take off my shirt!
6 AnswersMen's Health1 decade agoBatman/Ironman Crossover?
I know it would probably never happen but the movie world of Batman and those of the Marvel universe are so fluid and realistic that instead of seeing Batman and the likes of Superman or a Wonder Woman I'd rather see him team with a Marvel character. Sorry but DC has not been on top of their game in the movie world. Bats is the only one reppin Detective Comics and its to the point where adding Superman or anyone else would ruin his atmosphere. Maybe its the fact that marvel characters have a single creator that they compliment each other. Its obvious DC characters worlds have no room for one another. Batman should just join the avengers...screw justice league...unless the same director fixes it.
