Lisa and Pic-Yes I did enjoy the clarinet for 8 years in school....everynow and then, I would just love to try and play again!! I can't remember...the piccolo has pretty much the same fingerings as the flute?! We could get a trio of flutists from here on our own thread at YT and then have Tammy finish up with a baton solo finale

!! Lisa can teach us all the flute and then Tammy you can work with us on the baton!!! I know when I came to Boonville I couldnt believe you had to be in the band to twirl

!(I think it was that way at my Indiana high school though, but in Cincinnati it wasn't that way....) You poor girl! All that talent went to waste!!! BHS's mistake.....your grandkids are benefiting now

.

I can't do anything fancy with the baton, but I loved twirling it too!! Maybe when we walk the dogs, you can show me a few spins

!! You know I have actually looked for a baton to buy in toy stores lately, but never find any.
Also, the toe story....it was claw toe surgery on my 2nd toe next to the big toe (like a hammertoe, but bent a little differently). It's kinda like the base of the toe joint dropped down in the ball of my foot. I tried to treat it conservatively without surgery for a couple of years...I always loved to do high impact aerobics and jogging..... Well anyway ended up with surgery and because my gait had been altered for so long, and healing was soo delayed.....had trouble with lymphatic drainage.....it took soooooooolong to be able to walk normally again without pain...alll from a little toe!!

I have read some people are getting toes shortened to cosmetically fit into Jimmy Choo's

.......Oh my gosh Never Never Mess with your feet!!

I'm sure you can relate Lisa with your 3 broken toes !!! If your feet aint comfy.....nothin in your whole body is comfy.....it pretty messed up my whole left side...toe, knee, hip, shoulder, neck. I'm getting back balanced again thank you

!!
Well hope all you girls have a good night tonight!!
Tatertot--I'm sure Bandit is still being a good boy at his new home!!!
