Last night in my dreams I had a long thin white priority mail box on my lap, and I opened it and some kind of plastic brownish/red colored whistle that was about the size of a Bb was in it. It might have been a Susato, though I didn’t think of that when I was dreaming, only after I woke up and analyzed it. Whatever it was, I hope it comes true. 
Cranberry,
Is this what I have to look forward to??? Whistle addiction? I picked up my first two months ago (Chieftain Low G), my second two weeks later (a Dixopn Sop.D, incidentally, which I like) and my third is on order (a Dixon Low D, because they get a nice write-up and also because my wife would kill me if I splurged on an Overton!..).
It used to be guitars (still have six of those), so at least I’ve dropped down a few steps in expenses.
Odd. Me, too. I was given 6 low whistles in individual white cardboard packaging by a friend (the one that you don’t know in the waking world) who told me she didn’t play them any more. I opened one up, and as I was about to give it a try, it started falling apart, the original green metal turning into long collapsing shards of autumn-colored chitin. It was all very arghsome.
And I don’t even play whistle, really.

Yes. Look forward to it. I only got my first whistle in Febbur airy, and I already dream about them and try to make them…it’s sad really. The last thing I was this obsessed with, mice, I had 100 of. But they kind of made more themselves, and whistles don’t. As far as I know.
Mice? Really… At least the evolution of your obsessions is logical, from mice to whistles. Can use the latter to lead the former. Whatever will be next???
Wouldn’t old Sigmund Freud have a hay-day with the symbolism in your dream Cranberry!

The reason I had to re-home my mice is because I left home and couldn’t take them all with me. If I leave again I can take my whistles with me, so hopefully whistles will be my last obsession, and I’ll have WhOA for the rest of my lives.
I’m going to collect nuclear weapons next. No, that’s not funny. Yes, it is. Ok, I’ll shut up.
You might find competition collecting nuclear weapons… I understand there are more than a few people interested in those.
So what happened to the orphan mice? Can’t be easy finding a home for that many…
