I also played the flute. I quit two years in though when I moved. I always wanted to play the cello though, and one day actually pickedit up but I was too tiny for it.

My husband is a high school jewelry teacher, and has a visual reminder of why students must be careful with that tool and their hair. One girl had a strand of hair ripped out one year. Tired of students not remembering to get a rubber band to pull long hair back, he stapled the hair in a baggie to the wall with a nicely worded sign reminding them of the safety precautions. Hasn't had an incident since.Rachael https://www.blogger.com/profile/04546209575452027732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30362609.post-88921792201092767282010-05-26T18:02:18.915-05:002010-05-26T18:02:18.915-05:00Ahh!
