haha, last night I almost caught my apartment on fire. i wasn't paying attention and plugged my connector for the mic into my Mobo. Turned the puter on and the cable started smoking immeidiately. (with the brand new 2.4G P4 I just intalled.) I looked after I unplugged the cord and saw I plugged it into the USB port pins on the board. Oooops. The chip is still OK. but now I'm thinking case mod all the way. I'm gonna get me one of these instead. Oh yea baby. forget the cup holder.

Let me see if I remeber. It's like a cross between gold fish and spades right? You deal out all the cards in the deck , then you keep taking the garbage out of your hand to make as many pairs as you can. When all the gabage is out of your hand, you can lay the pairs down and catch your opponents with as many cards as possible. I think the dude that is about to lay his cards down, needs to say it's the last round to dump your cards before you get stuck with them, or something like that. I was showing the wife, mei mei and her bf, how to play Eucure. You only need to have 5 cards in your hand. somehow it remeinded them of this other game, where you have to pick up all the cards. I became the sacrifical "lamb" after we started that game. No pun intended...hehe right..

pigs feet??? http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/31.gif pickled pigs feet??? http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/31.gifhttp://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/31.gif a staple of american bars??? If I see a pigs foot in a bar, I'm leaving. Especially if it's pickled!!!

and by the way... I never had a 129F either. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your CR1-k3 anyway, 129F means nothing to you.

you asked if it was a coincidence.

So it's official??? the president has AIDS... My god, when did this happen? was it el-qeasidea again? I just got home from work, so I'm not loaded enough to believe that the president of the USA responded to your e-mail...yet. President of taco bell maybe, but not George though, that would just be too cool. if you wrote something life threating about the president in this forum, I'm sure you would gets somebodys attention. even if you were autistic or articulate.

On the instructions for the I-864 it says either provide current paystubs OR a letter from your employer.

I got the exact same one on the 1st of July.

Gone fishin'???

Is this what they mean when they use the term jail bait???

Gee, you mean they shouldn't go to a DOS prompt and type Format c:/ and then ignore all the warnings??? That's no fun!!! 133211[/snapback] ya, been there , done that. got the T-shirt dude. atleast with a format c: you skip all the stuff in the middle and get to the end result quicker. smart, very smart.http://www.allemoticons.com/Computers/Computers_comp26.gif That takes hours off the time you would have speant trying to fix it other wise.

you sound like a commie swammy. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/67.gifhttp://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/55.gif

what do you mean??? Ni tin bu dong ma? http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/20.gifhttp://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/20.gif wo bon don...

Cosmo, If people don't know exactly what they are doing they can end up kissing there lovely windows OS goodbye and end up formatting again. Not good. I don't recommend it. ideally, I think two separate computers is best. (I have 4, just for myself. http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/26.gifhttp://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/26.gif , never had all 4 working at the same time, but that's another story we won't talk about.) However, if need be, You can partition your HD right from windows. It is actually better than any 3rd party vendor has to offer. To create a partition or logical drive using the Windows interface copied and pasted from help... To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management. You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group in order to complete this procedure. If your computer is connected to a network, network policy settings might also prevent you from completing this procedure. You can create primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives only on basic disks. You should create basic volumes instead of dynamic volumes if this computer also runs MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows XP Home Edition. The boot.ini should look like this after loading the chinese version on the new partition. If both versions are on one disk. [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="English Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Chinese Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect I'm not really a computer dork, I just play one on TV.

Reno 911....!!! That show rocks. What she decides to do will be up to both of your attitudes. Communication is a foundation for relationships. You may want to consider having her take some ESL -english as a second language classes before you throw her out in the forest with all the bears with no way to tell them to go away. you don't really want your wife to be a whopper flopper...??

Ma - question Ma - horse Ma - Mother careful the way you pronouce it. you might be asking her if her mom is a horse. Maybe try some night time adault ed classes if they have them available, but I'm from San fran too, more people speak chinese than english here anyway. Listening skills are just as important too. Last night I called the wife and she wasn't home. ba ba answered the phone. way ni hao baba, ni chi gou la ma? he replies, then I say hen hao ting (no idea what he said...), he says some more. bu tza dao baba, dui bu chi Zai Jain, Wan an he said zai jain too so it was all good. I am a nervous wreck when I have to suddenly start speaking chinese to her parents. wo way swa pu tong guo ee tein tein. if you go on e-mule (file sharing) you can download (share) books and tapes for free to help you learn chinese. http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1 scan everything for viruses and spyware though...

kitchen sink or flaming hula hoop with the little chua-wa dogs in cone hats jumping through it. Don't forget them either. especially if they belong to your ex-... then they'll all need to be notarized too.

they may have asked her for it when they asked her why she needed it.

The only time we needed to submit an intent to marry was to the chinese passport office. My wife needed it to get her passport and they wouldn't even let her get her passport unless she had the intent to marry form. We eventually got married few weeks later.

Sarcasm from Jackie Chan, say it isn’t so. I can only imagine all the fun he has with the western press and they take every word so seriously. I really like the idea of Tea shops by every Starbucks. The rush for the best one is over though, cause I got her. Sorry Jackie, you gotta settle for #2. and if he wants to fight about it, that's fine. cause I know kung-fu and 7 other chinese words.

you bring the pot, I'll bring the luck.

If ordering a new computer with OEM Windows the MUI is available, just have to do this as a special request with folks like Dell without the Volume License. Thanks Lee, I'm my own "OEM" though. hehe... What was the name of the file they gave you? I can search their ftp site for it. ftp://ftp.dell.com/ ok, time to take a break now. I think your avitar just winked at me.

You need to have XP Pro. The English XP can write in traditional Chinese. control panel> Regional and language options http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/BuffaloBillsRock/downloadchinese.jpg If you want all the menus, desktop and commands to be in Chinese then you will have to install the MUI (multi user interface) that includes Chinese, then you will be able to switch between an ENG interface and Chinese. Since MUI is only sold in volume licencing, You can "share" the MUI pack including chinese on the edonkey p2p network, using a p2p client like emule. www.emule-project.net/ , scan all your downloads before opening them. Wait , I just found the powertoy for XP , (not pro) http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en Office even supports speach recognition. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistan...0840991033.aspx C4Racer, what does your boot.ini look like?

My travel agent is Chinese. Ling always has the hook ups on tix. The web address is still under construction. http://www.eztravel.com/ ofcourse I only need to hop the pond between my wife and I. SFO to Shanghai and back.

Priority date doesn't mean much to us. They are supposed to determine your place in the waiting line for your visa app. Use the priority date to determine how much longer you need to wait. See here... http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin...letin_1343.html VISA BULLETIN IMMIGRANT NUMBERS FOR DECEMBER 2004 A. STATUTORY NUMBERS 1. This bulletin summarizes the availability of immigrant numbers during December . Consular officers are required to report to the Department of State documentarily qualified applicants for numerically limited visas; the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services in the Department of Homeland Security reports applicants for adjustment of status. Allocations were made, to the extent possible under the numerical limitations, for the demand received by November 8th in the chronological order of the reported priority dates. If the demand could not be satisfied within the statutory or regulatory limits, the category or foreign state in which demand was excessive was deemed oversubscribed. The cut-off date for an oversubscribed category is the priority date of the first applicant who could not be reached within the numerical limits. Only applicants who have a priority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a number. Immediately that it becomes necessary during the monthly allocation process to retrogress a cut-off date, supplemental requests for numbers will be honored only if the priority date falls within the new cut-off date. By definition: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/glossary...ary_1363.html#p Priority Date: The priority date decides a person's turn to apply for an immigrant visa. In family immigration the priority date is the date when the petition was filed at a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office or submitted to an Embassy or Consulate abroad. In employment immigration the priority date may be the date the labor certification application was received by the Department of Labor (DOL). In the Diversity Program the turn for immigration is decided by the applicant’s position in a random draw.
