Pianos, I sell pianos, yamaha for now.. but I have sold all brands.. I love pianos.

commented 13 years ago

I love to play the piano!!! it is so relaxing! I especially love to be lazy and just chord, but sometimes I make myself play the left hand!!

I think that would be a fun job! Bet you get to hear some neat things when people try them out!

commented 13 years ago

Vinny

Actually, listening to some of the showboats that come in just to impress their girlfriends is very funny.. Most can't play but three chords, they get all cocky, its fun to take em down a few notches sometimes.. :)

I met a super cool, smart, lady today, we were talking about black holes and the universe etc., she's married so it was strictly platonic, but just a very interesting person to have a conversation with. I was smiling for a while, it's nice to meet someone friendly out there, instead of the usual Jerks...

No kidding! I love just random chats in the mall, or in the lineup at a store, or wherever! The other day I was in line behind a lady who had three little children that were fairly lively, found out they were her neices and had a lovely little chat! Miss out on those things when we are just looking down or too focused on our day and schedule!

Very good point monkey, sometimes we are in to much of a hurry to even spend a few extra seconds to ask someone how their day is? Just saying hello can be uncomfortable for some people, It almost always winds up to be quite rewarding though.

commented 13 years ago

I find it such a fun challenge to try to brighten peoples day by smiling and/or saying hello! I guess it stems from when I was a teen and working with the public! I love friendly encounters! Thanks for the thumb up!

commented 13 years ago

leeroy

No problem, Yeah I like to start conversations with people who seem to have a lot on their minds, just knowing that I may get a chance to encourage them, knowing that it will brighten up their day. It's a great feeling to help cheer someone up if you get the chance. Thanks Monkey, nice talking with you..

I had a very special thing happen to me today!! I just have to share it!

I was shopping at Superstore this evening and while in the coffee section a man came over and asked me for help. He had a big can of Tim Hortons coffee and asked if this is the kind you make? I don't think I really understood what he was saying (he is a foreigner to the english language, but tried to explain that you need a coffee maker and filters. Then showed him some that you can use to make one cup, 'cause he said he was alone. So finally I told him he might like a one cup maker then. LOL It was all quite cute, but I don't think I understood his question and I don't think he understood my answers!! He was very dear in thanking me! It made me feel so good that he asked me for help! I always hope that if someone needs help they will feel they can approach me!

Thank you monkey. You made me smile with this "Seeing Colleen back!" :) As for sad one, she will be suspended again. She is too young (12 years old) and does not belong on this site. She was also rude and nasty and gave Randy a hard time he did not deserve. We have to draw the line on age due to some of the content on this site. Her parents are responsible for her. Let them take care of her. She'll be honest with them when she decides she needs them. ;)

commented 13 years ago

Thanks, Colleen! I just ache for kids that are needy! I had such a great upbringing that I just wish others could too! My parents were foster parents and I just have this strong feeling towards needy kids! I really hope she does okay! Glad they are getting her to counseling! Thanks for explaining...I guess I'm a bit of a push over! Good thing I'm not a moderator!! lol
