As the flute turns...

Now I get a CC of an email between he and eBay where he is saying he can not "collect" his PayPal payment and acting like I did not pay. I guess the dumbass doesn't know eBay owns PayPal and when you pay through the site it all has a trail. I forwarded the paid receipt from PayPal. Good thing I didn't stop the payment :D

Cheese and crackers...whatever happened with this?

He acted like he was going to resolve the matter last week and I have not heard a word since.

Lets go beat him up. :D

blanket party?

:D

Maybe the Ebay way of beating him up, wait until the last possible moment to hit him with bad feedback so he can't retaliate...

What is pissing me off is that he has the audacity to act like he is the one not being paid.

Stand on the audit trail.

I now have possession of the fucking flute. It's in great shape. Instead of having to pay $83 for a flute, I had to pay $183. Because I had to rent one for two months while I waited for the SOB to do the right thing. BUTTTTT, in the end :D, it's a great flute.

The flute fucks?

:wtp:

And this one time, at band camp, ...

"it's a great flute."


Lil,

I've been meaning to talk to you about that.

I'm sure your child will get your money's worth out of it.

In honor of the conclusion of this long journey, please allow me to offer a blessing... "May your son's flute collect less dust than my son's drum set". :p

Wouldn't the fact that your son's drum set is collecting dust be a blessing to most.

Mozart wrote an opera about a magic flute. Perhaps this is a 21st century version?

Oh, ayuh! I believe you may be correct. :D

Madama Buttons-flies?

Oldfart,

Any suggestions for casting the role of “Queen of the Night” in Die Fickenflöte?

You are awesome, Jseal. Just sayin'.

And Lil, when I was a wee lass in the orchestra, playing my violin, I had a crush on Tim, the only male flautist in the orchestra. Of course it was 7th grade, so my feminine protowiles were nothing to speak of (still aren't; I still don't flirt well with strangers), so he never knew, but I didn't think he was a sissy.

He's feeling successful with the flute and that is most of the battle with him. As for the ladies well, I'm ok for him not to become a Pied Piper.

Good on him. I can relate...when I finally started to master a little bit of the various musical instruments I tried to learn, it was a life-changing event for me, mostly in my self-image. As for what this will do for him & the ladies, he'll be learning lip control that should come in handy some day...but if he'd taken up the trumpet instead, he'd have a nice little lip callous that might even be handier ;)

And the licorice stick and sax develop excellent tongue control :tongue:

Ha ha ha . Jokes on me. His teacher just asked if he could try the French Horn. She needs one so bad she is giving him private lessons for free.

French horn? Is that the one you slide your fingers in the bottom and your lips against the hole? :confused:
















He'll LOVE it! :D

Did you ask her if she was going to give him a french horn to for free.

She gave him a school one to use until he decides if he loves it enough to switch.

our PTA recently got a music store to donate some of their old instuments to the school. perhaps one near you could donate a set that had a french horn in it.:D

The one he is using looks like it was run over by a semi :p

At least if it dosen't sound good when he plays it he has something to blame.

:roflmao:

Wow, now that's an odd switch...music teachers almost never ask anybody to move from the woodwinds to the brass section, or vice versa...normally it's sax, flutes, or clarinets move up to oboe or english horn (an ill wind that nobody blows good lol), trumpets & 'bones move to the F-horn, tuba, or Sousaphone...this should be interesting...

It was... alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll weekend long.

What're the odds of it going back with more tire tracks on it? :p
