Wow, feng liu cai zi! ni hen you nu ren yuan wo!

I think a multiple language environment is more fun. I just find it interesting that one switches the brain and tongue like TV channels between English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, Tagalog.

Every woman has different taste. I've been rebellious.

Feathers268, if you do exactly what the cousin's husband has said, you'd be very boring, something I've been fed up for centuries. I'd switch to a more interesting guy, IF I were Jen

Dennis, tell her you'll stay strong, healthy for her, forever. Her former husand died, which was a disaster that once devoured her, much worse than a divorce. The D word really makes her uneasy. For a heavy smoker in Iraq, he'd be very happy if you wish him die of lung cancer

Lobsters in China are extremely expensive.

If she needs an ID for urgent reason, throw in a few extra bucks for a tempprary ID while waiting for the permanent ID. Labor cheap, machine expensive. Understand?

magendang umaga! The answer is yes. At visa interview, they tend to ask for SSN of your ex, utility bills of your ex to prove that you are not living with your ex.

The passport is valid for 5 years, so why not get it now?

Wow, I never knew your son knows Chinese Gong Fu! , and I thought your daughter was more interested in trendy clothes than study. How environment can change kids!

Almost all the Guangzhou women I know passed their interview: some petitioners only paid one trip to China, some have multiple trips to China. Since the interviews are conducted in Guangzhou, their American SOs don't have to worry that she'd get lost in her own city and I never see a petitioner accompany the applicant to her interview. You guys are always worried that your SO'd get lost in her own country by traveling from city to city

Agree. Still remember their red flag: A middle-aged woman with two kids, recently divorced, married someone from New York who doesn't have a good job. I have observed some US attorneys prepare very good paperwork but the applicant just doesn't know what's Income Tax Return cuz our social systems are so different so she got denied. Some applicants cannot speak clear Chinese(never mention English) or the slangs they use VO don't understand. Applicants speak the way as they usually do - they just don't know VO's Chinese is hard-learnt.

That's true.

Cosmiclobster, the pills are for women approaching menopause, but I have no confidence in that pharmaceutic factory. I think Vitamin E and Vitamin C will serve the same purpose. (Never take the Vitamin C which costs a few yuan per bottle in China, it will cause sapremia.) There are also good Vitamin C or E available in China, but for medicines, chemical products, I like those made in western countries.

I set up my profile on a dating website. I got about 30 interests, and I checked their profiles and replied to a dozen of them (not at a time), after exchanging a few emails, weed out half a dozen: 1. the one who is still married, out. 2. the one who can barely write in his native language, out. 3. the one who is only interested in sex, nothing else, out. I've talked to half a dozen of men through webcam and weed out 5 of them: 1. The one walking around with a missing tooth, out. 2. The one who gave me conflicted information about himself, forget him. 3. The one who looks like my ex, OUT. 4. The one with shabby undies - not decent. 5. The one whom I think is over qualified and not really interested in me - stop talking to him. I've got my good old Sam - that's the only one I have P.S. All the above processing took me 23 months: After weeding out one, I picked up another who was interested in me.

You are really a good interpreter , for interpreting Chinglish into English.

Emotionally, I cannot write loving emails to several men at a time, but still energetic enough to write SEVERAL loving emails to one man in one day.

When he is seeing different girls in Asia. What do you think? My friend Fang communicated Ted from Sydney. Everything went well for the first few weeks and Fang gave him her phone number. Then Ted was on and off. He said he visited his mother and could not write to her. Then Fang started to talk to a mechanic from LA. Ted wrote her again and told her he was gonna Vietnam, and China YunNan, Shanghai, then Guangzhou. Fang asked me and my reply was "Weed Ted out and save everybody time! You are good-looking, competitive and you speak some English!" Ted called Fang when he was in YunNan and Shanghai. When Ted arrived in Guangzhou Fang was preparing to meet the mechanic from LA. Fang didn't want to see Ted and she wanted me to call Ted in Guangzhou - I said I had no time! If my Sam is seeing different girls in Asia, I'd suggest he go to a bar where he can see dozens of young girls! Well, Sam is not that style. I believe if a woman thinks she is competitive, she cannot stand dating a guy who is seeing different girls. There can be two reasons he is seeing different girls: 1. He is over-confident. He thinks he is over qualified and he has lots of options. 2. He is incompetent and he has no confidence in keeping ONE woman so he has to stock some women on the waiting list. There are two situations a woman can accept a guy who is seeing different girls: 1. She is playing the same game. 2. Different dating agents are competing for the guy - potential customer and the women are products of dating agencies. They want to sell the products to a potential customer. What do you think?

I still remember the "flash divorce" of my ex neighbor. The couple had a fighting and decided to divorce. The paper came out quickly. Then one of them needed to move out. They moved some furniture and personal effects out. When they, together carried a cabinet downstairs, they ended up crying in each other's arms. Then moved everything back home!

Oh, that's positive result

Boy, now you've grown up!

If I were packing, my Paper Tiger would say:"Go wherever you like, be with anyone you want!" Maybe I should make him leave - I'll call his friend Frank to take him to a bar, or I just send him back to his mother's arms. I'll bribe his mother first so I have an ally on his territory:-)

My Sam IS special. He is the big green man from Mars. I have been exposed to the outside culture and I got along well with western employer or the customers, suppliers from a dozen of countries. I THOUGHT I have no problem understanding an American man. Maybe the western culture I thought I understand is only Caucasian culture. Twice I wondered:"Which planet is Sam from?" His way and his dark skin color scared away a couple of women. My sharp tongue scared away a couple of men. So we are still here for each other. Now I've found the "Inch Button" at last: Don't shoot Sam with bullets but candies. If I shot him with bullets, all bullets bounced back. If I shoot him with candies, he takes all the candies and he wants to exchange everything he has for the candies

Does she mopslap you like this? "How could you have no heart like this? When I packed, you didn't want me to stay, you didn't stop me or follow me as you didn't care what could happen to me. I was new here and was so dependent on you and you didn't care for me you just let me go "

Tom, don't feel guilty anymore. Life has to go on. Let time fade everything. Move on. I posted this topic for new comers to know what it means when wifey is packing. yuehan has got it through mopslaps . Carl got it without mopslap!
