I lvoe the nickname, and after reading three messges so far, all three have
given me the same dental floss suggestion! I feel really sheepish...we don't
have the money to bring the clarinet in right now though. We have a miny
petting zoo almost, three ferrets, four dogs, nine hampsters, four birds,
eight mice, two fishtanks, and two outdoor ponds with fish in them. The
funny thing is, we have a small house and little money. So what we have
right now is going for food; for the animals and for ourselves. And out
here, the only joib I can get is dogsitting, which I have plenty of
experience in, and the only place to put up an adveratisment for me took it
down. So no extra money to spend on the clarinet. Plus, we still have to pay
for the flute we bought me recently too. So...I guess dental floss will
work... Thanks!
