  1. A sad day

    WOW! I haven't been here in a while and things do change.

     

    Carl... He was a very nice guy, Even was nice to me. :victory:

     

    We pm'ed a lot and like Charles, we talked about his guitars a lot.

     

    I remember kidding him about spending too much time here on CFL and how it was going to turn his hair grey.

    He told me he wasn't worried because he didn't have any. So I told him we could make some for him and that's when I came up with the Chia Carl picture.

    Carl was very special to a lot of folks here and he will truly be missed.

  2. Happy Birthday Mick!!!

    Thanks for the positive birthday wishes. My Dad said I would never live to see 21 so making it to 67 must be some kind of milestone. Of course, my Dad just turned 95 on March 30th. All my recent medical test show that I am still holding steady with no downward trends in any arena. Considering all these cursed heart issues, that is a blessing.

     

    This is for your dad...

     

     

    and happy belated birthday to you Mick

  7. Cultural aspect of an ill father

    in Culture & Language Discussion

    Posted

    Hello everyone! I hope everybody's New Year is off to a great start.

     

    I had been planning to go to China in March, to meet SuLi for the first time. I was going to purchase my ticket this coming week. She asked me to wait until she got back from spending Chinese New Year at her hometown. Apparently her father is not feeling good, and her mom wants the family to stay longer than the typical two weeks.

     

    She is not sure how long she will stay at her hometown, thus waiting until she returns to Zhuhai before I purchase my ticket. I'm wondering if it means anything being that she does not know when she will be home. She also mentions finding someone reliable to run her clothing store since she will not be back as soon as she expected. Might her father's "not feeling good" be serious?

     

    Any input in to helping me understand will be welcome.

     

    Thanks,

    Todd

     

     

    As a rule, most women who will take you for a ride will want you to come right away. Come as you are and we can have a good time, spend your money and send you back. A logical person (male or female) will think things through and plan as you already have, however if something is not right you surely don’t want to go there and step in a pile of sh*t after she explain the situation. If the father is not feeling well, I sure wouldn’t want to go and make a visit if the “timing “is not right would you?

     

    I have also (as well as other here) seen where a person is being set up and the next thing is she will need $10,000 for her father’s operation and recovery. I am not saying this is the case but I have read many stories where this occurs.

     

    So for several reasons I would say, allow this space apart some additional time to know each other. This will help build understanding, build trust, make the relationship exciting and curious, and allow for you to really understand that person for what she really is. Also, don’t try to read her mind but put yourself in her shoes. If your father/mother were sick would you want her to come and visit? I also remember a long time ago when my momma once told me, “you aren’t marrying the girl, you’re marrying the whole family”.

     

    Some of us old timers have seen a lot and we can offer you some of the best advise but you also have to (as Dennis has said) go with the flow and have fun while you’re at it.

    Merry Christmas to everyone here. May the joy of Christmas be alive and well in your homes.

     

    May those who are waiting for your loved ones to arrive, I know know its easier to say but have patience, your time will come.

     

    To those who are no longer here to be with us, may you rest in peace!

     

    and for all of God's special children, there is a Santa!

    Are you using a dremel tool on any of the detailed work. I use on here and I can see where one would be handy on some of items that you are showing us here..

     

    Oh BTW - Happy belated Birthday - thought you'd let it slip by?
