Lessons on Life

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge
things too quickly.

Inside every older person is a younger person -- wondering what the hell happened.

Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut the her up with cookies.

I am an alumnus in Hopkins University. That is why I got a letter from Peabody director that they would have a piano sale.

We jumped to our car and went to Peabody directly on Saturday.

We didn’t do any research on pianos and felt like hard to do research on anything that we didn’t know about. Unlike car, both my husband and I have no experience what’s ever on any pianos. We buy piano for our two daughters. The elder one will be four by November.

I bought a Dell latitude D820 last year. Right after a year, the battery is turning into bad. It only lasts for 5 minutes after unplug. The service warranty period has passed. I thought that I was unlucky to get such a bad battery computer. I don’t mind to pay for another $199 or $299 for a new one. However, I searched Dell website and read so many complaints about this battery that I realized it is not the odd I got was not good, but it is the product itself. Sounds like a lot of people encountered such unfortunate.
