Wow, tough topic, those nails. I just cut my to the quick within the hour and then meandered over to the computer and found this thread. I resumed studying piano seriously when we moved to Temecula 3 years ago and had to decide – sacrifice my acrylic nails so I could play Chopin and Debussy, or have great looking hands. Beethoven et al won but I do still look forward to pedicures and sandals.

The thing I noticed in all the budget postings was nothing for music, dance, and art lessons for the kids.
