Entertainment & Music - 6 December 2007

I took piano lessons from my mother, a piano teacher from the time I was 8 years old. My parents were strict and cold and forced me to take them. When I was 8 I started listening to songs on the radio and playing them on the piano by ear, complete with chord progressions.My grandmother (dad's mother) told me I had a natural gift and that I should keep playing. She played piano beautifully by ear and often played for community theater productions.
But when my mother heard me, she became very natty and angry and would snap the piano lid shut so I couldn't play anymore.
She only wanted me to adhere to strict sheet music reading which was very difficult for me.
Now I am in my twenties I want to go back where I left off and start playing again but Im not sure where to begin. Im so afraid I have completely lost the gift I had for music.It makes me sick. Has anyone else ever picked it up after giving it up for so long? And if so, how did you do it? Thanks

Oh, what a miserable day I'm having. The cold Irish weather is getting to me. Does anyone else get hayfever, like, every season? It happens to me. Whether it's the new flowers, or the grass, or the fallen leaves or the cold weather, it always seems to trigger my hayfever. Does this happen to anyone else out there?

PS I'm kinda glum today because of my hayfever...hold on a sec, ACHOO!! Anyway, I'm feeling kinda gloomy, can you cheer me up? Thanks!

Dirtiest Company

Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 500 employees and has the following statistics:

* 29 have been accused of spousal abuse
* 7 have been arrested for fraud
* 19 have been accused of writing bad checks
* 117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
* 3 have done time for assault
* 71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
* 14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
* 8 have been arrested for shoplifting
* 21 are currently defendants in lawsuits
* 84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?

Give up yet?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress. The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of you Americans in line.

The 1st few shows have been a little boring last night seemed like the old days .
A little drama , some bad fashion some good fashion and some more drama !
