My niece is expressing an interest in various Musical Instruments these past few years. Next year she will be entering middle school and will be able to take music lessons with real Flutes and Clarinets like the big kids. I’m sure my sister will be happy with any wind instrument, as long as it doesn’t have anything to do with Drum Sets. There is nothing worse than having to listen to a kid on a loud instrument like the Drums, the Cymbals or God forbid something like the Trombone.
We used to have a nice basement in the house that we grew up in. It was pretty much sound proof and we did all kinds of crazy and loud things in that house. But the house that my sister currently lives in is pretty small and really couldn’t hold anything large in size anyway. Of course there is always the garage though………….
We do come from a very musical family, so there is hope that she will be accomplished in some type of musical instrument of some sort. It’s all good.
The wife is considering purchasing some Hartmann Luggage. She is tired of lending our luggage to our kids when they travel, and wants some to just keep for herself! And every time she lends some luggage to one of the kids, it is returned badly beat up. So it would be a nice change for her to have some new Luggage for her to use (and keep) when needed.
She has gone online and looked around to see what is out there these days and I have learned a lot about luggage, actually more than I’d ever need to know, these past couple of days. Personally I like the looks of the Briggs and Riley Luggage that we saw last night at Villageluggageandgifts.com. But it’s her choice and I know that she will find a good deal using her online shopping and bargaining skills.
I am so disappointed in the violent reactions of some people in response to the new healthcare bill. Threats, and shooting out windows! I really think that this kind of reaction is over the top! It makes me really sad that people would stoop so low. These politicians really are trying their best to serve their constituents – responding with threats and violence is just plain nuts! We are supposed to be living in a civilized society, not the Wild West! Grow up people!
When my wife was involved in that traffic accident last October, she found out that the lady who caused the accident had one of the more popular online auto insurance policies. We see the ads for that company on television a lot! The online auto insurance company called us almost immediately to follow up on the accident, making all kinds of promises about how they were going to cover medical expenses and lost pay.
They sent my wife a lot of forms to fill out so they could get the medical records. That was months ago, and we have not heard back from them yet. I’m beginning to think that this particular insurance company is all fluff and no stuff. So it may be a good deal for the person who buys the insurance, but I’m not convinced that it will treat the consumer right if an accident actually happens and a claim has to be filed on it!
