Early '95 - only from January to April.

You were in S. MS at just the right time!! Winters are nice a warm compared to what you now have on a regular basis.

The Edgewater Mall is small as malls go. When I was growing up, it seemed HUGE to me. Being up here in the Northeast now, the malls seem to go on and on!

What scares me are the people (mostly young guys) who tear around on the back roads at high speeds - they wouldn't have TIME to brake!

Well they think they're 10' tall and bulletproof anyway!

You should send 'em over to the tall white guy reparations thread...

Yeah, I guess so...though at the time I was so homesick for winter that I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have!

The Edgewater Mall is small as malls go

So they told me! But considering that our "mall" here in town has less than ten stores (one of them being one of the Ames chain that's going out of business), that mall seemed enormous! I'd go down there on Saturdays by myself (cost a dollar for the bus ride from the base) and just wander around looking at alllll the things there.

True. They're very annoying, though, especially the guys who get behind me in my little Corolla in a jacked-up pickup with the BRIGHTS on and ride my bumper. There are some places (especially in the winter) where it's hard to just pull off and let them by, especially when they're BLINDING me.

Had some guys do that to me when I was driving home one night earlier this summer (even though I was already going more than the speed limit), and then they roared past me at a sharp curve, yelled at me and gave me the finger, as if *I* was doing something wrong. I almost went off the road. Took me a long time to simmer down.

How are you getting these guys to give you whistles? LOL Is this how you sold Hair on the Feadog?

Thw Whistlestop site says that guy's not making whistles at the moment.

That's right. He isn't making them anymore. Supposed to start back up in October, making 20 a month. They are in hot demand baby! People on waiting lists for them!

I don't know why other than what he told me. He said he found my posts I have been "interesting and refreshing, unlike some that pop up occasionally". His exact words!

I can't hardly believe it. I won't believe it till it is in my hot little hands! I think I'll send him a StarKindler CD as a thank you.

LOL! No high heels...I'd look a sight in them.

This cotton-pickin' whistle sells for $55 WHEN you can get them.

I am really quite excited.

He knows you're married, right? He's not hitting on you, is he? Hehehe.

I'm trying to hold off getting new whistles until I learn to play the Clarke. The Hoovers are pretty whistles, though.

When the boys are in the tub, I like to stand in the bathroom and play Danny Boy on my Susato till the walls shake! LOL It is indeed very loud!

This Hoover though is supposed to be the opposite. Very soft and good for practicing around people that maybe don't like it that much.

I think he knows I am married. He saw the picture of me playing at the church and told me he didn't have the nerve to play for his church yet, even though the music minister had asked him.
