i saw the question posted on another forum i lurk around, thought it might be interesting to post here. not necessarily to get answers (though it'd be interesting to hear) but kinda just to make yah think....
as for me, on a daily basis i pretend not to know customers are outright lying when they call in to verizon wireless customer service and act like they don't know where download charges on their bill came from
... and I still manage to do classical singing.
What is "classical" singing?
To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure. :D Classical is probably the wrong word - I mean the sort of thing you expect to hear a choir singing. Only solo.
wassernixe, I having a learning disability it is not the end of the world . Finding out when you are older (i.e not a child) can make it more difficult but it is still possible to overcome it. I have a learning disability and have graduated from university with very good grades, most people didn't believe I had one. I am not sure it makes life harder so much as it makes it different. Studies have shown that people with learning disabilities do not have any kind of deficit as far as intelligence goes they simply think differently and process information differently which is why the normal way of learning and processing and performing are difficult.
If you do in fact have a learning disability I recomend you get a psychological assessment to determine in what area your disability lies. I found out that mine affects my short term and working memory which makes remembering things very difficult. Once you know the difficulty is you can start finding ways to work around or even with it. I have to write everything down I do memory exercises and have a tendency to repeat things back to people when given instructions.

Musicologist poking her dorky nose in here! You mean art music or common practice music-- this is scholarly music from the Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and turn-of-the-century; it does not include popular music, most folk tunes, musical theater, etc.

I do that too! Hooray for a good explanation, I never know quite how to explain it so thanks.
And wassernixie, definitely not the end of the world...ADD over here and doing just fine :)

What is "classical" singing?
Cantatas, chorale singing, musica sacra (Gregorian or polyphony), opera or operetta.
Bach, Haydn, choral hymns, like that.
Shape-note singing is a classic form but not considered "classical" by the snobbish.

Hey, the wise person is the one who knows they need guidance and gets it. There's nothing wrong with being excited about that. Good wishes for a positive encounter and rapport coming your way.

I'm pretending not to know that I got to bed two hours late last night because I was thinking of things to talk to her about.
I'm pretending not to know that I flirt covertly with one of my male students. Nothing obvious...just smiles, facial expression and like that.
Bad Yabbit! :-[ Uncool.
The smell of breastfed baby poop. It isn't really bad, just a bit...odd. They say by 2 months old babies only poople a few times a week. I say: a WEEK???? I would be happy if my baby only poople a few times a DAY. I HAVE to switch to cloth diapers. But to start out they are expensive! Sure, the old fashioned, pieces of cotton cloth with plastic pants is cheep, but also gross. I want those Fuzzy Bunz which cost about $17 a diaper.
I pretend not to know when my roommates are having sex in their rooms and I can hear it... and, I pretend not to know when my roommates can hear me having sex. :P

lyle just went from pooping about 10 times a day to just one big one. id rather have the 10. the big one oozes out! his diet hasnt changed either-still just mommies milk!
we are using the old style diapers and they are great! we dont have plastic pants, but use the covers that are cloth like-they are called whisper wraps. you can get those for around 10 a piece or less and you only need about 6 of them. we also use a snappi to hold the diaper together-no pins. no problem! i like these better than the all in ones like fuzzi buns that you mention
i'm pretending not to know that i have endometriosis and that i saw the number on the scale when they weighed me this morning....
i'm pretending not to know that the weight is bothering me more than the endometriosis...
and i'm pretending not to know that there isn't an emoticon that correctly expresses how devestated i am right now... :'(

remember Sariea, weight can change SO easily...weight "problems" (if they are really problems) can be fixed.
Endometriosis is the trickier opponent.

i know, i just feel helpless... i remember when i thought "i only need to lose 8 pounds to get back to 100".... and that was a year ago... and now i keeping telling myself "i have to lose 40 pounds to get back to 100..." and i cant stop crying..
Sariea. That sucks. Forget the weight. Take care of yourself. 140 is NOT fat, girl. Get your health together, and you're body will fall in line. Hugs.

We are weight buddies! I weighed myself yesterday and was 140. I can't even pretend to know your situation but I like the fact that we weigh the same anyway :)
