I've done what Nela says to do... set a budget and stay within it.  Last time I went shopping my budget was $300-500 and I ended up with one that was under $200 because it was the one that called to me.  Now a days I go into the stores just to play around, not shopping, and each time one certain Martin calls my name.  Go figure, it's a GC "exclusive" ... and around 1K.  I'm saving my pennies and don't plan to buy another guitar until I have that one.  My husband bought one recently that was priced just under $400.  It's a Fender, but I still like my cheap Epi better.

Sounds good to me Pix!  Nothing like helping out the small business owner instead too! 

I looked through all the fonts on my new computer and couldn't find anything that matched that.  I've got more installed on my old system, and when the 4 year old lets me, I'll get on there and look through them and see if I can find one that matches this. 

Yuppers... we've discussed a few times about strengthening the nails, especially for those that do a lot of finger picking.  I've warned about some of the do-it-yourself techniques folks see online as well.  So, I will show first hand on Zurf's lovely nail beds how to actually do-it-yourself without causing damage.  I'll also bring along a few of my pretty color polishes for the girls that might be there! 

I'll jump on that too.  Have you checked out stickerjunkie.com?  My husband purchases stickers for his tattoo shop from there.  They may not be super high quality vinyl, but you can design your own and for basic black, white, red, they're pretty cheap.  The one on his hard hat (gets lots of abuse) is doing well after a year still! 

I can't help but mention to those that may not have ever noticed, Per has a site set up for T-Shirts that you can get to from the home page of Chordie (proceeds clearly go to the admin, and therefore to Chordie!!):

Does that one work by vibrations too like the Snark?  Looks easy to read, although not as pretty.  Hey, if it does the job right? 

I see that songbook you're talking about ... and username ZappDave ... hmmm... could chordie be the next big facebook connecting guitarists that have long lost touch with one another?  LOL!  You could do a user search and see if you can find an email and send him a message.  I don't recall seeing posts by this guy, so I don't think he comes to the forum much unless he's a lurker. 

hey Joey, I agree with Zurf and Deadstring.  For the most part, I think you'd be fine... it's the few "members" here and there that don't quite know how to converse on the forums (or don't want to) that might email her ... everything else of course is open for you to see.  For the most part, she could easily access everything she wants and NEEDS to access right here, and just use your email.  That way anything that happens behind closed doors, is actually open to you!  If you think she'll be using the forums and posting often as well, you may want to introduce her to us with her new profile (using your email... so any lurker that might hear she's 13 still can't reach her directly) so we can be vigilant about knowing who she is, and that she's a teen, and remember to treat her appropriately (although, I think everyone gets treated pretty appropriate anyhow... as you know, almost all Chordian's are respectful and friendly!).  OR you could simply email me, and I can give the mods a heads up privately if you don't want to introduce her to the general public.  Give her the reminder that this forum IS open to the public... so even non-members can read it, no posting too much personal information... she need NOT put her location in her profile... especially not putting too much personal info (pictures, age, sex, address, name of the school she goes to, etc... )  But of course, you already knew that. 

My son is on chordie, a few years older than your daughter... he doesn't post very often.  He reads the forums though, and mostly just looks up songs and saves them to his own songbooks.

If there were ever anything that you were concerned about, being parents ourselves, the mods would happily help you out.  Feel free to email any of us, or you could report a post and there is plenty of space to put your reason for reporting it.  I can think of a lot LESS safe places for teens to hang out online.    Ultimately, it is your decision if you'd like to allow her to have her own profile... or hers if she decides to get online somewhere that you aren't watching.  IMHO, they will find a way ... I think it's better to allow it with supervision, than to wait for them to figure out how to do it themselves without supervision.

Congrats DM!  Glad to hear all went well... and then some!  Way to go!  No doubt you've earned this. 

Funniest thing... I watched the moving "Knowing" on Friday night.  I didn't know what the end of the movie was about... the fact that all the prediction nonsense was going on Saturday ruined the ending for me and I could only laugh though the end of it.  I think the movie was supposed to be a beautiful message at the end, but I just couldn't stop laughing at the ironic silliness of the timing of watching it.

Phill... I didn't listen to the piano version either... but WOW... I agree with Russell, this sounds much like something the Beatles would have done.  I found myself WANTING to listen to the end to hear the entire story.  EXCELLENT!!

I also did a search and couldn't find anything.  Perhaps one of our more talented members will give a listen when they have a chance and let you know what they think the chords are.  Welcome to Chordie MacMc!
