Let her know she is welcome.

Maybe her username can be re-activated and put her where she was; #12.

 

I'm sure she'll see it. Everybody does a little "ghosting"!........:blink:

 

Just a suggestion. :o

 

...and if she does see this thread, here's a few words from me; "I like what you've done with your website, Kate! It's come a long ways! Great job!!!... :blink:

Oh, that was my post! I thought I was logged in at the time. DuH!... :huh:

 

Maybe I need to be "re-activated!"................. :lol:

thank you guys and girls... I am really touched by your sweet words...

 

as time goes by... I learned a little bit lesson... I was too pushy... too straight forward... and I believed to do anything I can to get to the point or force the others to accept my opinions.

 

but life isn't just black and white... I have learned the most important thing in life is to enjoy the life and not to make myself to be the only God.

She is a young and healthy forum, every member in the forum has made her/his great efforts to help the forum and making friends to each other...So far... so good... just like the Candleforlove which provides a great place for men married to Chinese women... two different worlds... are severving the same purpose.... make the life easier and happier for all...

I could invite her if you all missed her. :D

From China to US is a good forum for new immigrants.

Great place to kill time. :D

 

Yes, it is a great forum for new immigrants.

My wife is a member. She got a lot of very good information about how to take care of our baby. She really needed something like this board. She had no clue what to do or not to do with our son. They really do things different in China. The whole family gets involved. So she never really had to take care of first son by herself. So it was a real big eye opener. She used this board to gather information.

Great Site Kate !!

Thanks,

 

Mike
