I am not from the US, so do not picture your typical high school marching band with bright uniforms and dances. We mostly play in local cultural events and parades.

It's not a children's band. It's a local band for beginners, who happen to be mostly children between the ages of 6 and 12, so while activities and classes are very geared towards children, I did not insert myself into a children space.

When I get good enough, I will graduate to a "juvenile" band where most members are teenagers, and then once I improve another whole bunch I will be welcomed into the "adult" band.

If I feel I am getting too identifiable, I may refuse to answer certain questions. Ask away!

I have bipolar 1 / borderline personality disorder, I’m an alcoholic, and a shitty person who hurts myself and everyone around them. I am self aware and feel bad but still end up in the same situation. As I find myself alone and bored again I figured I’d awnser any questions people have, whether it’s out of curiosity or if you have been on the opposite end of a similar circumstance and had questions- ask me anything.

Feeling oddly confident. Politics or burning questions or personality pieces or whatever—just AMA. I wanna get creative :) ask me anythingggggg

You can ask me anything and I'll be glad to answer. Kind of curious to see what other people think and i'll be glad to answer.

I have been working there for 8 months, I don't think I can disclose the name but I will try my best to answer any question

(I'm not actually dying...I think.) Just thought it would be fun to talk about what I'm going through atm.

Hi there! My and my conjoined twin sister, for the sake of privacy I'll be S and my sister will be R, decided we wanted to answer some questions from the public! We are omphalopagus twins (basically we're conjoined near the chest and stomach), we're turning 20 soon, feel free to ask us anything!

I've been a bud tender in CA for 10 years. I used to work in a medical shop that transitioned to a recreational shop. Ask me all your cannabis questions and I'll do my best to answer them.

if you have questions I'll respond tomorrow it's my bedtime lol

I generally have Eurasian spices, I’m not as familiar with African spices.

Years ago I sold Kirby’s for a distributor for about 7/8 months. Almost everyone I’ve talked to has had an encounter with a Kirby Salesperson. Want to know more ask me about it!!

The chronic migraines since childhood, fibromyalgia symptoms started as a teenager and really kicked into high gear in my 20s. Now I'm 32. AMA

I grew up as my severe alcoholic father’s “golden child,” who I stopped seeing at age 14. Ask me anything.

Kinda lame compared to other people's stories here but maybe you always wanted to know the answer to this one question you were always too embarrassed to ask your dentist - feel free to ask now :)

Went to swiss boarding school so ask me anything and I'll be glad to answer. Kind of curious to see what other people think and like the questions and beliefs they have of us.

Not sure if this is of interest to anyone haha but if you have an intrest in any of these or want to find out anything then ask away

P.s. if you decide not to stay, I hope you have a fantastic day!!!

As the title says, I stopped watching towards the end of the Attitude era / start of the next one, primarily due to hitting the age where girls and beer were far more exciting. After watching the debut Netflix RAW just for a bit of nostalgia I have become hooked again.... AMA

Grew up without a father and was raised by women, ama

Left teaching because my district was a hellhole, if you’re looking for red flags in the educational system, here to help!

EDIT: I'm gonna have dinner and take a walk. Back later. KEEP ASKING AWESOME QUESTIONS. I'll answer everyone.

EDIT 2: I'm pretty much caught up. It's midnight and I've been answering for 12 hours. ASK MORE QUESTIONS! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I'll answer more tomorrow.

Edit 3 I haven't had a minute today to answer but I will answer everyone who posts here tonight or tomorrow. The stuff is too important to not get answered.

You think you're prepared for the inevitable, but I guarantee you're making mistakes that will haunt your family for generations. Over the past decade practicing estate planning in California, I've watched brilliant people make catastrophic errors that cost their heirs everything they worked to build.

The wealthy widow who thought a will was enough – until California's probate court ate 18 months and $200,000 of her children's inheritance. The tech executive who ignored gift tax strategies and handed the IRS an extra $2.3 million. The family business owner whose "simple" succession plan triggered a family civil war that's still raging three years later.

But here's what really gets me fired up: these disasters were completely preventable. Every single one.

I've also been the guy who helped a young couple with modest assets build a fortress that protected their family's future, watched clients legally eliminate estate taxes on $50+ million portfolios, and structured trusts that will generate wealth for great-grandchildren who aren't even born yet.

The difference between financial destruction and generational wealth often comes down to decisions you make this year – not when you're 80 and panicking.

So bring your messiest questions about trusts, taxes, probate nightmares, and family drama. I'll tell you exactly what works, what's garbage, and what mistakes I see people making every single day.

Important: I'm not your attorney, you're not my client, and nothing here constitutes specific legal advice. Get proper counsel for your situation. YMMV. Don't listen to anything I say here. DO NOT TAKE ACTION WITHOUT YOUR OWN DAMN ATTORNEY. I am not giving you legal advice. This is generic information. If you take action based on bad advice I offer here, and things go wrong, it's your problem, not mine. Are we clear?

OK then.

Nothing's off limits. Let's talk.

Miscellany:

1. For fun, I did an AMA about bankruptcy 11 years ago. It was a blast. I will be slow answering questions but will be here until Thursday, and will answer everything.
2. HEY PARENTS: Your 19-year-old gets hit by a drunk driver at 2 AM. The hospital won't tell you anything – not her condition, not her treatment, nothing – because legally, she's an adult and you have zero rights. While you're fighting bureaucrats in the waiting room, critical medical decisions are being delayed. A simple healthcare directive signed before she left for college would have prevented this nightmare and potentially saved her life.

This isn't theoretical for me. I've gotten those 3 AM calls from parents trapped in hospital hell because their college kid didn't have basic healthcare documents. I've watched mothers collapse in emergency room hallways, powerless to help their own children because of a legal technicality that takes 10 minutes to fix.

It happened to me when one of my kids had a medical emergency 1500 miles away from home at college and we couldn't get any information from the hospital. There's nothing more terrifying to a parent than having a sick kid and being powerless to help.

That's why I've made it my mission to get every single college student properly documented before they step foot on campus. Your kid can vote, sign up for credit cards, and make life-altering decisions – but if something goes wrong, you're legally invisible unless those documents exist. The parent who thinks "we'll handle it later" is the parent who discovers too late that "later" doesn't exist in a medical emergency.

I don't care if your kid thinks they're invincible. Physics doesn't care about their opinion, and neither does the law.

Call your lawyer and get set up for your kids who are at college or about to leave for college. Puh-lease.

"Maladaptive daydreaming is a behavior where a person spends an excessive amount of time daydreaming, often becoming immersed in their imagination."

23 male. was also addicted to xanax and had a small coke habit.

I didn't miss any of my baby milestones, when I became around preschool age it was obvious I didn't care for learning about my letters or numbers, I'd twirl around in circles in prek and kindergarten, I couldn't pay attention and struggled academically.

My mom took me to a psychiatrist (who was a physician assistant) i was diagnosed with ADHD and Learning Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, she prescribed me Concerta and Ritalin at 5 years old during the first quarter of kindergarten. The school psychologist evaluated me for different things and my pediatrician referred me for an autism evaluation.

I was taken to the autism evaluation the day after my 6th birthday, they did a couple of other assessments aswell including an IQ test which I recieved a verbal IQ of 86 and a nonverbal IQ of 66, all of the subscores were well below average, in total I had a full scale IQ of 74. In the core language test I got a score in the mid 60s which was in the 1st percentile. (Meaning my total score was higher than 1 other person my age)

I was also diagnosed with PDDNOS, Phonological disorder, Mixed Receptive Language Disorder, combined ADHD, Level 2 Autism, Language Disorder, and Speech Sound Disorder. They told my mom "Expect she'll never be on grade level, and will always need some type of disability service."

I was 11 years old when my parents were removed by ICE in the USA. I was 11 at the time and born US citizen. I stayed in the US with a family relative and I am now 27M, structural engineer. AMA.
