You are such a goof!! You made me laugh though!

I guess I don't have that problem because I don't have flutes laying around. I am some what of a clean freak and organization freak. I wouldn't trust laying out any of my flutes anyway because of my cats. They get into everything! I can't stand a dirty flute. All my flutes are perfect and I mean PERFECT! No tarnish, dirt etc.. Yeah.. I guess you could say that I have ECD with that. When ever I see someone with a really dirty flute I want so bad to take it and clean and shine to look new and pretty again. I love doing that. I am a dork that way.

If you ever do that, please let me know in advance, I could help you in getting rid of that (temporarily) unwanted stuff...

An "organization freak" maybe, but certainly not a grammar freak. It's lying around.

Hmm,
You need flute cases my friend.
It sounds like your flutes are propagating while you aren't watching. This is why we have cases for ours. If putting the flutes into cases doesn't stop them, then we put the flutes that are inside of the cases into "case covers" and we zip the covers up tight.

But above all, don't practice the Syrinx or La Flute de Pan too many times daily. It gives the flutes that you aren't using at the time ideas.

If you need to torch flutes, there are a whole bunch of Chinese flutes of poor quality on ebay that need to be torched. They come in some facinating colors.

Whoa! Hold on there! Let's not get overly zealous. Some of us poor starting flutists need some old used flutes made by companies that are somewhat reputable. Try not to burn up all the old starter flutes. After all, some parents are not going to plop out 1500+ dollars for an instrument the kid might not play for more than a week.

Simmer down now.

It will be okay.

You are very rude and obnoxious! I have made it clear several times that I suck at grammar and do try. It is people like you that have tried to make me feel less of a person by cutting me down for spelling errors. Did you know that Sir James makes typos sometimes too? Are you going to go correct him and insult him too? I am tired of seeing your rude comments. Keep them to yourself. So I bet you feel like such a better person. If you don't have anything nice to contribute to this forum then please leave.

There are people on this forum that do not have English as their first language... I think that the important part is to get the message through.

HOWEVER, I do have an address (my home address) where I am sure that your flutes would love it and they would also be very very far from you... :P

I hope you get over your one-day phobia. xx

I don't know WHAT I was ever thinking!

great picture! I see some black island in your sea: a clarinet, perhaps an oboe?

I will definatly take some of those off you hands. If you would like to donate them to a lost cause, I will send you my address.

To me it looks more as an old wood flute than a clarinet. But if the sea of flutes is yours, I suppose you know better...

Yeah, I'm forcing my eyelids to stay open but cannot hold any longer. At least I see that I can still recognize an old wood flute amid a sea of instruments...

To be continued tomorrow

If you want 'a spell checker why not just go: C-H-E-C-K-E-R!
