I am planning to buy a piano for my 6 y.o. daughter. Ideally, i would like her to take lessons, and hopefully she can play piano decently when she grow up.

I read opinions of how piano experts favor acoustic piano because they compared digital piano to a lame keyboard, which the touch and purity of resonance can never be the same. I understand those writers are serious musicians, who treasure real instruments instead of imitation. On the same time, they admit otherwise, digital piano was somewhat usefully comparable.

What i need your opinion is: Does it worth to spend three times as much for this reason? I am sure i am not the first parents who is going thru this... Not that i am pessimistic, but i dont expect my girl to be a mozart, but in the same time, i want to get her the best thing. If you have expereienced both instruments, what do you think? It will be nice to hear from an average player. Thank you for your input.

I need a little help to choose which cruise itenary is more scenic.

Please list from the place that you like the "best" to the "least" among: Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Prince Rupert, and Icy Straigt Point. Feel free to add your own port/ favorite place if not listed above.

If you have to do it over again, would you rather go on crusing or take the train and go up to the mountain region? will you get a flavor of alaskan mountain from cruising?

I will be going with my 65 years old folks and 3 + 5 years old. Would this be a trip everybody can enjoy?

We will be going with Norwegian, the choice is starting from LA, seattle, or vancouver.. any comments.

Does anyone has tips on what to do, where to go, excursions?

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts in advance....

I redid my lawn (spent $1000+) this spring because it was manifested with crabgrass last year. 6 months later,it recurs.

The crabgrass is short, dense, and in fact, look very nice. Is it possible that way? it doesn't have that long branches, just uniform fat rounded leaves.

I don't want to throw another thousand of dollars on my lawn. But how do i get rid of it? if i apply preemergent next spring, all that i will have is just a brown lawn that i must re-tilled and reseed. if i leave it, i will get my luscious crabgrass lawn on summer?

As stupid as it sounds, What do you think?

I am starting a new business. it is a structural engineering consulting firm. i.e.: design of buildings and bridges. I am located on the suburb of New York City. What do you think about the name? Any thoughts will help.

Any suggestion?

I want to permanetly bury a 40' long of water-hose with 1" soil cover, the hose is a medium grade that thick enough and doesnt kink. Will frost in the winter cause a problem? i plan to purge the water in the fall.

What do you think?, btw i live in NY.

ps. i am using this as a sprinkler extension.

Live in NY (zone 6), at the beginning of MAY: I tilled the soil, rake it, removed weed, seed it, water it and a couple days latter i noticed a lot of old weed that was tilled wasn't completely removed and re-emerged before the grass.

It was as bad as every 2 SF there is one little weed reemerged The old lawn was covered in weed (carpetweed, blugrass weed, and dandelion, and some broadleafs).

When can i start applying herbicide? fertilizer? and what kind? will weed n feed product solve the problem?

Help... Thank you.

Last week i bumped into some one's car. The damage was very minor (a little dent on the quarter panel), I told the other party that I would prefer to settle privately if it doesn't cost too much. She got a dealer appraisal and comes out to be $1500. I felt the appraisal was embellished (need to replace the rear door as well?).

Should I still pay the $2k or just have the insurance company takes care of it? This is my first at fault accident. Will this raise my insurance rate.

How does the deductible work? If I do not fix my car, should I still pay for the deductible?

My daughter will attend pre-K this year. She has started reading (and probably will be fluent by this septemeber), and excellent in her math (she can do addition and substraction, i.e.:279+70 and 279-70). She is also mentally developed when it comes to lesson time.

I wonder if during enrollment interview, i can request her to skip pre-k? It will be ashame if she lost her advancement because of going to school. Has anyone has this experience before? What can I do to get her skip pre-k? I know that they do not do addition and substraction on pre-k yet!

Which theme park is more appropriate for a 3,4, and 6 years old girl. I have five full days to spend!

Keep in mind, Park tickets is much cheaper for multiple days visit, I dont want to end up buying each park ticket separately.

Which one would you choose?

Has anyone experienced roaming WDW with three little girls: 3,4,6 in December? I will be going for 5 full days and planning for kid-friendly schedule.

Please share your tip and experience with your little one and what you would or would not have done.

Does the waterpark open in December? What is the weather like?

Last, not least, where to get "bargain" WDW admision ticket?

I have a safe box with metal door built in the house.

My ignorant painter painted over the keyhole.

I pick the paint out as much as possible with miniscrewdriver and I still couldnt get the whole key inserted.

So frustated me hammered the key in, and it still couldnt get all the way through!

DOES ANYONE KNOW THE TRICK OF OPENING DOOR WITHOUT THE KEY? (credit card trick wont work!) CAN A LOCKSMITH DO THIS, considering, i may have damaged the inside mechanism while hammering the key? FYI, the safe box is pretty old.

Thanks.

Have anyone done a research to get the best deal for air ticket to New York. I went to Zuji.com, malaysia air, singapore air, even china air and they all are absurd. It was 3 times more than what i paid a year ago? Am i missing anything here? Thanks.

I planted "Big Daddy" Hydrangea last spring, the blossom was beautiful last year.

Can anyone tell me why it has not flower till now? The bush is thriving very well, it grows quite large and looks very healthy.

FYI, I did spray Miracle Grow fertilizer (the one that suppose to boost the flower) in April.

Thank you.

I just got the tree from a local nursery in spring. The flower were abundant. By late spring, the tree was manifested with tiny black insects and the young leaves were starting to curl. I applied some insecticide and handpicked the affected area and that seemed to work. But by early Summer half of the branches were bare and many leaves were half eaten, yet i do not see any insects other than ants. I also notice blisters at some area.

Please help!

paspor saya hilang di amerika dan lapor kedubes dan diberi surat jalan laksana paspor. Kabar burung, itu bisa dipersulit ketika masuk imigrasi indonesia. Ada yg punya pengalaman ini?

I believe if a husband is abusive, it is not entirely his fault. Partially is because the wife let that happened on the first place.

On my case, i have always been the one who apologize and make up for any fights, regardless whose fault it is. I have been married for a little over five years, and i am tired of being pushed around. I understand that this happened because I let her doing this since day one.

Recently, i am standing up for myself. My silence treatement lasted for weeks and our marriage becomes sour. Am i doing the right thing?

Is it common for a husband just to agree and to please their wife? I know my wife is good in discplining the kids, and now i feel like being discplined for unacceptable behavior, in fact she has been training me to behave since day one.

Is it normal if after some times, you dont feel as much in love with your significant others anymore. I always thought our marriage is rock solid, but i guess not so.

I purchased a small blossoming pusy willow in february. The tree is in 5 gal pot and have been doing very well all summer long. I trimmed the branches in june. I keep the pot indoor by the window facing South. I water it twice a week.

Suddenly, for the past two weeks (beginning of september), the leaves are start curling, Only about 20% of leaves healthy now. I live in new york and the indoor temparature is 60F at night and 70 during day time.

Please help!

I parked my car on the street and found on the next morning that it was hit.

If I report this to the insurance company, will my premium get increased? It wasnt really my fault that somebody hit me.

I have a perfect driving records and no accidents in the past 6 years.
