If you could turn one person on to SLing, who would it be?

(He is very hard for me to say 'no' to).

Judging from what you've said about his interests and the amount of time/effort he puts into his music, the fact that you have trouble saying no to him is probably an awesome thing and an indication that the two of you are a great couple.

The trouble with guitars and I assume flutes as well, is that they are not only a functional piece for making music but a work of art. And so, they have a unique shape, smell, sound and feel. One wants to be able to pick it up or just look at it at your pleasure and convenience. Every guitar has its own personality and to part with a guitar that you have made your own is akin to severing a relationship. Albeit with an object but that object has more life than some people I know. So I can relate as a man who has a few guitars.....a session with a guitar can heal me or soothe me. I am better for having played a guitar. So I would consider it more than just a collection. It is part of what makes me....me. Thanks to Mr. Gibson, Taylor, Martin and Fender. A man with a guitar collection has a soul.

Oh, so true!!! And this is true for cellos, as well!

A few people have said spouses... You are not alone in this regard!

My dad, hands down. Ironically, he's the one who bought me my first books on money, saving, investing, etc. I later learned that he never read them himself--I guess he was hoping I would be better than he was in this regard. I talked to him about this just last week, actually. He said, I forgot I bought you those books, but it's a good thing that you read them! I wish I could get him to realize that he probably has enough to retire, if only he could cut back on his expenses.
