I'm not sure about the age of the rented house we're living right now but I think this is quite older already. Some wooden structures of the house are already broken. We are about to move into our new home soon, hopefully on the...

Fafner Our house is 100 years old. It is in good shape, and other than the kitchen and bathroom, it has not been altered much since it was built. If you are in the U.S., you can usually find the age of a house by reading the legal description. This information is...

Growing up my mother always wanted me to learn the piano. I never wanted to go and take lessons though. Now that I'm older and wiser I realize that maybe I should have. I always wanted to learn the drums too but never did. Have...

Fafner In grade school I took piano and flute lessons. I was never any good at either instrument. I have considered attempting piano lessons again. I don't think I would take the time to practice, so I have not signed up.

I am not familiar with it. Since my son has some piano classes, so he knows it more than me. One day he listened to a classical song which was played by our neighbor, and he liked it. Then I downloaded two pieces of classical...

Fafner The genre of "Classical music" encompasses a wide variety of forms and styles. There have already been some good suggestions in this discussion. Some pieces I recommend: Beethoven: Piano Concerto No 2. This is orchestra and piano Bach: Brandenburg...

This happens to me. When the bedroom light is out, I find myself bumping into the metal legs of our bed. And even when the light is on, if there is an object on the floor especially if it is staple, a nail, or a pin, I am bound to...

Fafner I am very clumsy, but I don't have any trouble working around in the dark. I frequently will leave the lights off when moving around the house at night. I very rarely bump into anything. My biggest clumsiness problem is tripping up the stairs.

Fafner Cheap chocolate has always used other oils besides cocoa butter, plus fillers like wax. Just say no to cheap chocolate. Read the labels, buy the good stuff.

Fafner I use up my tokens each day on the sweepstakes. The odds of winning are really poor, but I try anyway.

Fafner On the whole I agree with your assessment. I would caution investors to take their time and do their research before jumping into an investment right now. The markets will take months to turn around, so there is no reason to rush in.

Fafner I think I should follow your example and get into a routine of setting out some fruit each day and keeping the extra in the refrigerator.

Fafner It is interesting to hear that business is up at your place of employment. I think your theories about gasoline prices and people eating out as an 'affordable luxury' are correct.
