    Picher is NOT the most toxic town in America, Libby Montana is. Libby has about 2,600 inhabitants and at least 200 people have died from asbestos related illnesses

  5. If it wasn't for Kennedy, your SO will still be in China. Not nice of you to say this comment after his death. ---------------------------------------- http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/20...migration_N.htm "In 1965, Kennedy had been in the Senate less than three years. His party's leaders gave him the job of pushing a bill to eliminate the quota system that had made it virtually impossible for anyone from anywhere but western Europe to immigrate to the USA." Like I said
  6. Happy to see he aint getting a pay check anymore.
  7. Even the Chinese pigs are survivors; BEIJING (AFP) - A pig that survived for 36 days buried beneath rubble in quake-hit southwest China on a diet of charcoal has been hailed as a symbol of the will to stay alive, state press reported Monday. The pig, who weighed nearly 150 kilograms (330 pounds) at the time of the magnitude-8.0 earthquake on May 12, had lost two thirds of its weight when found last week, the Chongqing Evening Post said.
  8. Get her a new septic system.
  9. I agree with Randy. Shipping anything from China will lose any savings that you might gain from buying in China. These days, you can get just about anything made in China; either from stores, or ordering online. Including the women.
  10. Fried Potato Cakes, Dont throw out those mashed taters after Thanksgiving 2 cups mashed potatoes 1 or two eggs, beaten 1/2 cup all-purpose flour salt to taste 1 pinch garlic salt 1 tablespoon butter In a medium size mixing bowl combine mashed potatoes, egg, flour, salt and garlic. Mix well. Melt butter in a large frying pan over a low heat. Drop pancake-size (4 inch circles) lumps of mashed potatoes into the frying pan. Pat to flatten to 1/2 to 1 inch thickness. Flip the potato cake over when the bottom is browned. Brown the other side. You can add some cut up ham or bacon ect to these and they do taste much good..
  11. that's a good question... hope others will chime in. I understand that they might call out during the check in, in a local accent or dialect, but not sure I've ever heard if the VO conducts it in something other than English or Mandarin. My SO said that she could not understand the VO's chinese. This leads me to believe that he only knew cantonese. I do know that Guangzhou speaks primarily cantonese. Just an observation on my part. Because the official language of the station assignment is Mandarin, the VO's primarily speak Mandarin as a foreign language. Nearly all are able to conduct interviews in competent Mandarin. They do have a limited number of translators available for Cantonese. As David said, language issues are really relationship issues. They are resolved by proving the couple can and does communicate and has an ongoing valid relationship. Although my wife was practiced in her confident hello and could answer many questions in English, the American VO beat her to the greeting with excellent Mandarin and not a word was spoken in English. She was asked if she spoke English and if I spoke any Chinese. She answered "a little" to both questions. My wife speaks English and Russian better than your Chinese is I would think?
