I'm looking forward to my new DVD...only what? A couple more weeks?
To: 2Jedismom
Maybe ours will come a day early.

NC, What wonderful words from a truly holy woman!
But I'm not that holy, so Carton, you know the saying, "living well is the best revenge"? Maybe you should continue to remind yourself that LEARNING well is the best revenge asgainst those dipsh*ts who want to make fun of you in class.
If that idiot of a professor laughs at you again, ask him if he's there to MAKE SURE his students learn or to DERIDE them when they try to learn? Maybe that will shut the creep up!
If you're young, and haven't had much experience dealing with twits, this might be tough, but HANG IN THERE! Do you have to take any more classes with this guy? For your sake, I sure hope not! You ought to bring a tape recorder to class so you can get some of his crap on tape, and he can't deny it, if ever called on the carpet about it!

Thanks for the link to the beta site!! I logged on there and it is MUCH better. The last time I tried to post a reply on the other site, I kept getting a 'page can't be displayed' message!

I hope so!
Say, did either one of you order that free CD a week or so ago from Green Linnet? Had like a $4 shipping charge and that was all.
I'm anxiously awaiting mine!

No I didn't get one. I was going to, but I couldn't decide what to get and ....well....I missed the deadline. :)
To: 2Jedismom
BTW, do you have a low D? I'm debating whether to spend $50 to see if I can reach the bell note.
To: Overtaxed
No, the lowest I have is a B. I have a high G, F, Eb, and D. I also have a B and a C. No lower ones. I'm thinking a getting a low G and F. The low D sounds rather daunting. I don't think you have to use the "piper's grip" with the G.
To: 2Jedismom
Maybe I should just save my money. :) I'm using a semi-piper's grip on the C....I have to do that to cover the bottom hole. The distance between the last and the second to last is greater than the distance between the other holes. I was looking at the Dixon Low D and their holes seem evenly spaced.
To: Overtaxed
Evening all. I'm still on the beta site. Is FR "really" back to normal?
To: Corin Stormhands
I'm on beta too. Think it's a DOS attack?
To: Overtaxed; Corin Stormhands
I've noticed that with my C Meg as well, that last hole is a reach! I have found myself using the middle part of my right ring finger to reach it.
Hi, Corin! I'm still on the beta site. The other site timed out on me just a little while ago.
To: Overtaxed
Last I "heard" Jim and John didn't know. Somebody over on the Yahoo site said their firewall was being hit by a lot of sites with an .ru extension (Russia). Don't know if that's tinfoil time or not.
I think this is more than a regular server/software issue. My guess is that it's beyond John's control or we would have at least heard about what the problem is.
To: 2Jedismom
I was looking at pictures of Low D's.....some are evenly spaced and some have those big spaces at the bottom.
To: 2Jedismom; Overtaxed
Hi 2J. This sure has been frustrating hasn't it?
I was bad today. I went to that "other" forum and made a few (fairly tame) comments. Then I got pounced on, so I pounced back.
I think they're all nuts. But it's just amazing to me that I am SUCH a lightning rod over there. I can make one snide comment and they go into convulsions.
I hate to admit it, but it's fun, in a sort of Tookish kind of way...
To: Overtaxed
I wonder if it's due to the taper or straight bore? I noticed the space a little in my D Meg, really notice it with the C, but not at all on my B straight bore.
To: Overtaxed
Looks like we've lost the beta site now.
To: 2Jedismom
I tried to open your link in a new window, and got a 'page cannot be displayed' message!
To: Corin Stormhands
Hullo! - I have been working late tonight... Making up for some wasted time this week during reasonable hours. Now no one will ever know ;~D
I am going over and check out your behavior!
