There is no free lunch in life.
Don't let free gifts muddle up our good judgement.
It's wonderful that someone was care enough to send us gifts. But some free gifts, like everything else in life, can become very expensive later. So we must be vigilent when accepting gifts from someone who delivered them to our door step, and be extra careful when this unknown gift bearer is "armed" with wireless payment devices.
Recently, there was a report on the Internet that over some free wines and flowers delivered to their door, an innocent couple lost $4,000 after they were asked to put a $3.50 charge on their bank card through a hand-held wireless payment device the delivery man provided. - Ayee

Robin Williams,may you rest in peace!
I want to join the million others to mourn the untimely passing of one of the funniest persons in the world. Personally, I do not know the late artist at all. But I did watch and enjoy his television show, "Mork and Mindy." I had also seen a couple of Mr. Williams's movies that cover serious subjects. After I saw "Patch Adam," in which the talent actor played the role of a medical student, I came up with an idea of volunteering at hospitals where doctors cure their patients with laughter. So far such medical institutions have eluded me.
Sadly, the world has lost a good man too soon. Others may think of the late actor like I do. Mr. Williams was so good at making us laught our heads off. He also left his hysterical fans with something serious to wonder about.
Thank you, Mr. Williams. And may your God bless you!

It's more than I can see.
My recent dealing with our Internet Services Provider (ISP) upset me. It make us, long and loyal customers, felt being "bullied." I do not know if others also had the same uncomfortable feeling toward to their ISP as I do. But I do know someone who also dislikes his ISP.
Now these days, television commercials are crowded with many new viewing options. One of them enabled the viewers to turn on five shows simultaneously. These multiple-channel services had surely befuddled me. I have yet know any one who can watch and enjoy that many shows at the same time. I suspect this is why our dependable television set was acting up lately. The malfunction of our old faithful will definitely give our ISP a cause to upgrade our services and get us, unsuspected users, sign up for additional services that we do not need and want.
About a few months ago, out television started to lose signals at its own free will. After all self-help measure to restore the signal had failed, I resorted to our ISP 's support group for help. In spite of the fact that its modems connected to our television set were only a couple of years old, I was advised that changing the old modems to the new ones will fix the problem.
Yet, contrary to what I was told that my initial contact with our ISP did give us a few weeks of reprieve. This suggests that it is possible to maintain our existing services without new modems. Now the same problem has resurfaced.
Normally, businesses will do their best to appease their customers. But to me our ISP definitely did not act like a normal enterprise. It just wouldn't take a NO for an answer.
Since our complaining to our ISP did not get us to anywhere, maybe the time has come for us to look elsewhere. So we can continue enjoying this simple pleasure as we did in the past. - Ayee
