I wouldn't recommend this for everyone, but what I did was become an AT&T wireless customer. Then, they proceeded to screw up my account so badly that to keep from losing me as a customer, I get totally free cell service, roaming, texting, and voicemail to and from anywhere in the world for the next two years. I'll give you an update two years from now and let you know what my next trick will be!

I have a question....let's say you go through all of this, live in China with your wife and later, hopefully much later, something happens to her that ends her life. Now the question....if a foreigner can't own property without a Chinese citizen on the deed, and now that Chinese citizen is no more...this leaves you as sole owner of property that you aren't allowed to own.....what happens (or needs to happen) now? Does inheritance trump the "no foreigner" rule? Do you need to get a family members name on the deed, pronto? Anybody know?

Chinese need to learn more Western ways of doing things like, what good coffee is! Americans need to learn more China ways of doing things like, having respect for their elderly.

I think you miss my point, David. He can be right, and he can correct her error, but just like wind through a tree, let it go by without announcement or notice...

Okay, but if one does not make a point of not being wrong does loose face with her? No, you won't lose face when you are right. As you are supposed to be the "Big Tree", bend...when the wind blows; cover...to protect from rain; but never let your branches fall on her... in other words...wisdom, strength, compassion, patience.......all these (and others) are the ingredients of love...

Mark, you know you will always be wrong. Get used to it. When you say Good Morning to her, be prepared to ensure that it will be a good morning for her. Breathe, prove everything you say and do, breathe, prove your breathing, breathe...

Makes ya wonder....would we be in the financial mess we are in if impropriety and greed were rewarded with lead poisoning here? I think we should give it a try...

Congratulations and Happy New Year!

clean as you cook....there is plenty of time to wash pots and pans that were just used while you are using a different one. When dinner is done, clear the table, rinse a few dishes, put them in the dishwasher and you're done!...Result:....More time to play with the sweetie!!!!
