  1. school is wrong. Go in show the letter talk to the principle if needed.
  2. I use to catch Sea Cucumbers and Crabs to sell to Chinese Restaurants when I was going to dive school. They would pay allot for a fresh live one.
  3. My wife already thinks she is a match maker. She has 2-3 friends in China who will pay her to help them find a husband.
  4. Oh and on the underwear and Bra's I mean ALLOT like 40-50 pairs or more. She can give them to her new Chinese friends I know my wife dose. It's funny when ever one of them goes back to China they have a huge shopping list from all the other women, Underwear, medicine, spices you name it we brought back a virtual trading post of goods that my wife divided up in the individual order and wrote prices on so the ladies could pay for there goods.
  5. The more you want it the longer it seems to take. took 3 weeks for ours. If she cant come with you it's ok I know your all excited for her to come with you but her coming later by a few weeks could be a good thing. It will give her time to make sure her China life is wrapped up with out feeling rushed and will give you time to go threw your porn collection one last time before Hiding..... errrr... throwing it out. . You can get the house ready for her. If she can't come with you bring allot of the things she will need back with you. Oh on a note of things she will need, if you wife is roughly the same size as mine ( they all seem to be) 5 foot 3 inches and 105 pounds it would be smart to buy ALLOT of underwear and Bra's to bring back, The cut and sizes of the ones in the USA never fit well even the XS ones seen loose in odd spot where as the Chinese ones my wife brought or has her friends bring back for her seem to show off the Tiny Hiney very well. Also a good Wok is hard to find here, in the USA all the woks come with no stick coating that my wife hates so last time we were in Chine she dug a old wok out of a closet at her god mothers house and we brought it back. Hmmm what else, stock up on 5-6 tubes of Chinese toothpaste, just asked my wife and she said Bamboo sleeping mat to put on the bed, Man I love those things in the summer you sleep so much cooler. Anyhoo sorry to ramble Congrats on the Visa and get rdy for a wild ride. Robert
  6. We setup at swap meets in the PHX area. My Favoriteone to go to is in in down town Phx, it is 95% Hispanic customers not so rich a crowd but they are loyal customers once you sell to them. The other place we setup is in Apache Junction at a HUGE swap meet but it is a much older show bird type crowd and it is dead in the summer months. ( and those old farts have nothing better to do then nit pick everything since they have all that time on their hands.
  7. Hello Hello Hello.... Hope everyone has been doing well, sorry I have not checked in sooner but I HAVE NO TIME....OR LIFE. Or so it seem, but it is a self imposed punishment I guess... As some of you know the wife and I started a small business selling little speaker we bring in from China. Things are going well for us in it recently I decided to take us to LA in search of some USA based wholesale suppliers for us to buy some of our goods from. I did this because I was pissed off at the factories we use in China, after the new years break in China most all of our suppliers were not making the models I needed for 4-6 weeks and I need them NOW!.... So thus the trip to LA. OK here is the fun part of the whole trip...Butting heads with the wife!!! Sometimes it's like beating your head against the wall. "Don't buy that...It will never sell ...no one want!" Oh you pay to much for this... never sell...why someone want that!" What money you use to buy that?...Huh...You know my money is my money, your money is my money!.... I say No then you can no buy!" You are stupid the man!...Most Stupid!" And that was repeated in each of the wholesale stores we went to .... Now Im not saying this in a mean way at all, just sharing a conversation I know most of you have had with your wife's at some time or another( I'm betting in the last 24 hours.) So we mostly look around at all the wholesale places on the 1st day, checking prices, seeing who has what goods and checking quality lvls. On the second day we buy many of the Car shaped speakers that have been selling well as of late, Mp-4 players, Headphones, cables, and a few odds and ends. We come to the 3rd day and we are about to leave for Phoenix when I stop by one of the wholesalers and he tells me about some Android based tablets he has got in. After looking at the tablets I buy 5 to do a test sale at our store.I take the tablets out the the car where Hui was waiting and she ask me "what you buy now I thought we finish all buying." I tell her I what I bought and she say "How much?" I tell her how much and then I get the angry eyes and the silent treatment 1/2 way back to Phoenix.....LOL! OK fast forward to Saturday or 1st day we are open for sales at the swap meet. Hui is giving me a little bit of angry eyes while I am moving things around to setup the tablets for sale. I hear grumbles of "Stupid man we will lose money." I'm not worried because I know I can sell them dirt cheap and still make a little money if I needed to. So we open for business and things are slow the 1st 1/2 of the day, but then we get allot of interest in the tablets and we sell out of the 7" tablets that day, the next day we sell out of the 9" ones. I priced the tablets so we make about $65.00-$75.00 each tablet for profit. The wife is very happy and thinks...."maybe you not so stupid man"...Lol I talk with the wife on Sunday night after we get home from the Swap meet and we decide since I have a sick day I can use at work that I will get up Monday morning at 5:00 Am and drive to LA to buy more tablets. To show you how much the wife liked the idea of selling more Tablet once it is decided I will go for sure she comes out with $3500.00 in cash she had hidden someplace from our profits on previous sales and tells me I better not buy any stupid things! Lol.... So Jump to 12:00Pm in LA I'm tired from driving and I'm walking around checking more carefully on tablets prices and models, well I hunt around until 1:45 and I'm just about to buy when I get a call back from a man I had been trying to get a meeting with so I could check out the company he works for. I tell him I am unexpectedly back in LA on a tablet buying trip and he asks me to come see him before I buy anything. If he had called 10 minutes later I would have spent all my money already so it must have been fate! It turns out his warehouse is just 20 minutes from where I am. The company is called QFX and the buy over 700 different goods from Chinese factories and brand them to the QFX name. They have all the goods I sell and more so I'm in a candy store! I like the guy and I really like the showroom they have. I end up spending almost $8,000.00 on goods from QFX right there.I get tablets, Bluetooth headphones, speakers and other stuff. Then the sales man shows me this kick ass portable sound system made for taking to the park or river or anyplace you want to play REALLY loud music, this thing is cool it has 2 10" woofers and 2 2" tweeter in it, it looks like a big rolling suitcase and has a car battery built in to it so it can play for 5-6 hours on a single charge. The sales man tell me this thing has 2 things Mexicans can not resist....1 Loud music and 2 Flashing lights!!!! then he cracks me up and says "Trust me I'm Mexican and this thing gives me a Stiffy every time I see it." OK I buy one..... ( uh oh is this the stupid thing I was told not to buy?) it cost almost $140.00 so it was the single most expensive thing I bought. OK I drive home and get back about 2:00 AM and the wife is waiting up for me to get home, her and my son come out to help me unload and the wife sees the giant speaker... " What is that you buy?" I tell her..... "How much?" I tell her..... ANGRY EYES!! "STOOOOOOPID MAN!!!" ....LOL Wednesday night is my night to be vindicated!!! We setup shop and I put the Big speaker right up front. The man was right I turn this thing on and people crowd around to see it... I demo it 10 time in the 1st hour..... the wife keeps saying " see I told you to expensive no one can buy!" then WHAM I sell it for a 90.00 profit...YAAA ME! So the wife is happy but she says "You No buy again You are lucky to sell it"........Lol....... Ok wait for it........ not 3 minutes after she says this 3 men show up at the same time with $230.00 each to buy it........... I just smiled at the wife and said..... WHaaaa you say? We took $100 deposits from each of the men and I will be going to LA in the next few days to buy 40 more tablets and 10-15 of the large speakers. Now the wife loves the speakers because 3 more people came and asked about them today. So things are going well now, I will get the rights to wholesale QFX in the Phoenix/North Arizona market and our sales have more then doubled since going to QFX. You should check out there website it is QFXUSA.COM now you can't order from them they are wholesale only but you can see the cool speakers! Ok I'll quit boring you all to death with the business talk. Hui and I are doing fine, still waiting on the 10 year card we filed in the 1st week of October, next week marks 3 years she has been here. We have our ups and downs like everyone, more ups then downs I would say. One thing I have learned at least with my wife is she dose not want a man who will coddle her every behavior and whim she has, she actually likes it when I tell her to knock it off and quit acting stupid sometimes. ( I use nicer words trust me Im not stupid she swings a mean mop) but sometimes she can get a bit out there and needs to be reeled in... Anyhoo howis everyone doing? RobertH
  8. We just filed last month, don't expect a 10 year GC for 4-6 months at least.
  9. Never mind........ I asked Goofy for her A# and she whips out a receipt for the money we sent in with the application. So we have the 1 year ext letter.....
  10. Meaning her green card is about to expire! She is bugging me about not having got a extension letter. She wants me to make a appointment to ask about it. So should I try for a Infopass? Or what will they send her? Her green card expires 10/18/12, and so dose her DL so the car insurance would be void for her driving.
  11. Need a quick cost on the AOS for the 10 year card. I know there are 2 amounts owed. Can I send in 1 Money order for both? Robert
  12. Not a bad 1st month. Sold 280 speakers so far, just got a new order of 250 more checked in, checked out and ready to sell.
  13. Are you sure it's safe to pop those little blue pills at 35,000 feet? We would hate to Loose you, but what a way to go!
  14. I'm in the Army I think....... My wife is the Dicahtahtor!.....Genieralah!......And Presadentah! all rolled in to one! Me....... I'm just a private/pissant worker!....... I think the cat out ranks me........
  15. As many of you know Hui and I are now running a business importing speakers from China and selling them at the local flea markets. Things are going really well our sales are very good and the Dragonlad.... Errr I mean the wife is doing the books and talking to the factory's while I sell them. We just got a delivery of 320 in 10 days ago and we are already looking in to making another order in the next week or so. My question is dose anyone know a way I can pay the factory for the speakers that wont cost me $40.00 or more each time? Up till now we have had a friend of Hui's who lives in Shenzhen make the payments for us by going down to the factory's retail location and dropping off the payment. I don't want to impose on the friend anymore since this looks like we may be making monthly orders. If I have my bank do a wire transfer to the factory's bank it will cost me more then $40.00 each time so I want to avoid that if I can. one of the factory said I could use a online or internet bank transfer, what is that? One bank said something about a western union transaction to make the payment but I;m not sure what she was getting at. Can I setup a bank acct in China and then do online transfers into it and make the payments from that acct? If you have any ideas please send em my way. Robert
  16. Yeah I think I do remember you... and that's a major accomplishment for me, hell I have trouble remembering what I did yesterday..... Things are going well, we fight just like any married couple, but the fights are short when I am smart and remember that I am the stupid one! , if you know what I mean.
  17. can be more then 30 days I have heard. I hope they get it before they return.....
  18. Ask yer Chinese wife.....they be da experts!
  19. Anyone know of a program that will scan my computer and organize all of the photos and MP-3'S I have on it? I have multiple copies of the same pictures in different folders on my computer as well as copies of MP-3's scattered around. they are mostly from Phone Data dumps I would do before I would reset my phones in the past. I dont want to loose any photos or videos but I am to lazy to look at each picture ant try to figure out if i have it in another file. anyone have any ideas? Robert
  20. Hmm I was hoping to find something in a small bottle like superglue. JB weld would be hard to mix and dab for just a pinhead size amount needed.
  21. Hi guys time to pick the brain trust again. Im looking for a fix to a problem I am having with a few of the speakers i bought. On a few of them one of the three buttons on the circut board will actually fold over on the board and render the unit unusable. I have been able to bend the button back in place and the unit will work. I would like to use a drop of sometype of super glue to hold the buttons in place but I worry the glue may disolve or weaken the circut board plastic. Dose anyone know of a brand/type of glue I can get my hands on? Robert If I knew how to post pictures on here I would show the board and button.
  22. So If I understand some of the posts from befor if the charger has the 2000mA rateing and the speakers are Power Supply Input: mini USB(5V/500Ma I can charge 4 at one time on this hub?
  23. AMP Freq Range: 200Hz-20kHz S/N: More than 80 dB Line input: 3.5mm Working time: 4-5 Hours Dry / Li Battery Capacity: 500mA Battery Voltage: 3.7V Battery Charging Voltage: 4.3V Battery Charging Time: 4 Hour Rating Power: 3W+3W Impedence: 40hm*2 Power Supply Input: mini USB(5V/500Ma
  24. I asked a company for the requirements on charging so I should have the values you guys are asking for soon. The battery cells inside the speakers are between five hundred and eight 100 mA
