Hi, Since I will have a fairly expensive surgery in January (Cataracts) we have been discussing health insurance in the USA and costs without it. So, our daughter will graduate from college with a business degree in less than 3 years. I am about 6 years away from Medicare age. How can I take care of my wife (15 years younger) when this happens? I expect our daughter to be able to get a job with health benefits before age 25 when she can no longer be covered by my employer. -James

Terminal 3 rocks! I spent 4 hours outbound and 8 hours inbound (with my wife inbound) on our last trip. Once I was in Bejing I went straight to Starbucks. Then we had dinner at the Kenny Rogers chicken place upstairs. Free WiFi in the Starbucks. They let us sit there for 5-1/2 hours! I bought a coffee, then when the employees started giving me the "haven't you finished that yet" look my wife bought a juice drink. Lots of really modern totally clean restrooms. A large variety of food. It is the best airport I have ever been in! Now, LAX... -James

Hi, I'm guessing from your description the 'Uber Hotplate' isn't a hotplate at all, but really an induction cooker. These are common in China. My wife asked me to get one for her, but since we have a gas stove at home it mostly sits unused. These can be bought in a 99 Ranch store or online (we got ours at Amazon). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JJVHA...x_ya_oh_product -James

There is no recall currently, just a safety advisory. I took my mat out of my Prius as soon as I heard the news story. Then when I was in for service last saturday I asked about the recall and they said there wasn't one yet. They did say that even if you had the correct mat they were advising removing it until they actually determine the final solution. -James

iTalkBB has cell phone access for their plan for $2.95 per month. Both my wife and daughter's cell phones are registered with iTalkFreedom so they can cann China whenever and wherever they want. http://www.italkbb.com/BB/enu/enu_features.asp#11 -James

We have it and both my grils love it. If you add the iTalkFreedom then they can use their cell phones too. -James

Hi Jim, I feel bad about not volunteering to help, but Loving Candle and I are in China now and we won't be back in LA until Sunday after 6:00 P.M. -James

In california there is a statute on the books forbidding "DWA". It means "Driving While Asian"... -James

Congratulations! -James and family

Not yet. Since we just went to Disneyland, we are going to China as soon as our daughter gets out of summer school. Yes, very fast processing in California with no interview for the 10 year GC. -James

It took just two months from filing to receipt of the approval letters. -James

Thanks! It's issues like the channels that REALLY make me want to have english language screens in the router... All our laptops have internal wifi so I hope to avoid putting wires into or through the walls in my wife's new dollhouse. She is just very excited about finally getting there and getting moved from her old house. -James

Hi, We HOPE to go to China soon to see the house we bought and visit my wife's family (swine flu permitting). I want to take an american wireless router so I can understand the setup menus. Has anybody done this? Any experiences to relate? -James

As a matter of fact NO! I-751 (CR1) 545.00 included the 80.00 for biometrics. Just to bring everyone up to speed. We just received (2) NOA's today. Both say the same thing. It took two weeks, Mailed out everything on Monday two weeks Ago. Sorry, my bad. I did send separate checks so I could insure they knew they were processing TWO applicants. -James
