Glad I popped in tonight. Exactly the content I was hoping to find, and current too! If I have any questions I'll be back.

Oh My! I am so sorry to hear this. Really don't know what I can add to what everyone else has said. He was just such a level headed man that would help you out in any way that he could. A wise man that certainly helped me out through the processes Rong and I went through in 2007-2008. Rest well my friend. You are dearly missed.

Watched this at work tonight. Could not hear any of the narrative, but caught enough of the subtitles to understand. Will watch again at home when I have more time. Thanks for posting this.

Lets not forget the NHRA winternationals tomorrow.

Don't know why ya would need a mask when they're sellin all them cans of fresh air in china. Last count I seen, they had sold 8 million cans so far. Just pop the top and fffwwippppppt. Ahhhhhhhhhh. So good! Why heck, I'll bet Randy has got a few cases of that special "Tibet" fresh air stashed away.

I think I've told you this before Tsap, but I'll say it again.....you are really missing out on the Queen Mary being parked outside your door by not having your writings published in a weekly if not daily syndicated newspaper. Surely I can not be the only one who sees this as your true gift. The Candle was so very helpful to me in every aspect of the immigration process, two year green card, ten year green card. Enough thanks can never be said about this, but now I return for, if for nothing else, just to read your "musings". And articles such as the one above always give me a good laugh. Thanks Tsap!

LOL.....Rong and I got a good chuckle from this also.....and even more interesting was surfing through the YOUKU videos...got some really funny stuff there.

Showed this thread to Rong....she just laughed and said "How can you compare the #1 city on the world to Nanjing?". She said it would be more fair to compare NYC to the likes of HongKong or Shanghai or Beijing.

"Good" beef jerky is another one. Rong and her friends always liked that, the spicier the better. Perfume is also appreciated, but if you get too many can also get pricy. As for chocolate, Rong and friends also really liked the Lindt dark chocolate balls.

Dang Tsap.....you mean ma ma or the lil rabbit never said "Sa bi ni donge qui zi" to you ....spelling is sure to be incorrect but is how it sounds to me when I hear it!

yes....i think i will be looking into a professional teacher for her. Already taking blood pressure meds. But here in small town america, don't know exactly what will be available. Will be checking into it none the less.

welllll....hmmm...where do I start. Maybe first I should just say that I'm happy to be alive today. Teaching my wife to drive was a piece of cake. She had never driven anything before, so no bad habits to break. Got her liscence on first try and does really well. Her daughter has also never driven anything...cannot even ride a bicycle and just turned 21. maybe that should have been the first clue. Have been trying to teach step daughter to drive for two years now. Is now on her 2nd learners permit. Last tuesday she was giving me a ride home. Just needed to cross a state highway to be back on a township blacktop. road was clear, but she chose to wait for two cars coming from a 1/2 mile to the south. After they cleared the intersection, she went. Don't know if she didn't look or maybe the view was obscured by the passing two cars, but we got hit big time. Pickup to the right front fender area which spun us and the back of our car to the side of the pickup. Thankfully everyone is ok, but both vehicles were totaled.

I don't know about now, but there used to be this "window of opportunity".....seems that it was like between 4-6 weeks before departure that the tickets would be at their lowest....aty least that was the general rule back when I was commuting back and forth from 2006 to 2008....worked out well at that time...can't remember who told me about that, but I remember it was one of Clark Howards money smart items....can probably look it up to check on that.

It's a fact that when we go out for dinner and Rong want to have an alchoholic beverage she is always asked for her I.D. because she looks so young, but at 44 years of age she hardly qualifies as a teenager. As for stress, I would have to say it is barely minimal to none. Humidity....well, living in central Illinois, especially at this time of year is way low...Dr. Randy didn't say if low or high humidity may be a factor, but as for showering lets just say she uses her fair share of water each day! Will let this post ride for a little time longer to see if there are any more suggestions for this. Thanks everyone for your input on this.

Don't know if this topic has been touched on here before or not. How many others have wives or children that have seemingly been plagued with pimples since coming here. Does anyone know wwwhat the possible reasons and cures may be. Have not taken them to see a dermatologist yet, but if we can't nail down some answers I am sure this will be the most logicle next step.....Anyone?
