More music like this?: womp womp edition
I'm in love with the "womp womp" sounds starting at :31 in this remix. Is there a genre that encompasses this song? Any other specific songs y'all would recommend if that's my favorite part of this song?

What's it like to get Invisalign?
What's it like to get Invisalign? I've been considering getting retainers to stop my teeth from shifting (they were straightened when I was a teenager). They've shifted some and I wanted to stop them from shifting more. But then the dentist suggested I get Invisalign to bring them back to straight and then get retainers. Having straighter teeth than they are now does appeal.

Rugs and hardwood floors--overthinking it?
We had the hardwood floors in our home refinished in October. Two coats of Swedish finish. We're about to put area rugs down. I know that by now the finish has cured. Should I use a pad under the area rugs? If so, is there any particular kind you would recommend and why?

Where to look for jobs these days?
Say you're a person in your 20s with an Associate's degree and you're looking for a new FT officey job. United States, based in a mid-size city. Receptionist, light bookkeeping, phones, etc. Where do you look? What do you need to do online?

Best way to increase cardiovascular capacity (and maybe endurance)?
Given my set of constraints, I need some ideas about forms of exercise I can do to increase my cardiovascular capacity and maybe my endurance also. Details within.

Easy listening opera!
I enjoy listening to classical music while I work on creative pursuits and lately I've been hankering for more opera. I really enjoy Handel's Messiah (the whole thing, not just the chorus). I know the Messiah isn't technically an opera but wanted to give you a sense of the musical and vocal styles I'm enjoying right now. I also like Wagner's Ring cycle though that's not quite as "listenable" to me. Given this, what operas would you recommend? I'm really looking for specific opera titles, not just composers I might like.
