RobertH Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Costco was my main source of gifts....lol... I brought the costco vitamin packs over for ther brother and father. They are the ones with the 100 packs of 5-6 differnt vitamins in each pack. I also got her brother a PHX Suns shirt. (if her brother knows how much the Suns suck this year I guess this could be a insult... ) I also had lots of candies from costco. i got the big packs of the good quality candys not the snickers and crap they can buy here. For her i brought a necklace i got from a jewlery fair costco was having...she loves it has butterflys and girl stuff on it... I got her some warm slippers for her to use this winter. In all nothing fancy just some nice treats and small gifts. Her father liked the vitamins came out and wrote down the instructions I gave him on the box.... Take 1 pack a day after breakfast......

I wanted to tell you something I learned about candy. My co-workers really loved the sweet, hard candy I brought back for them. I bought about 5 pounds of the assorted variety. I placed it in a rubbermaid container and located it near the water cooler. I noticed people who didnt even work in my area were coming to get the candy. The most popular flavor was "fresh milk" flavored hard candy and suckers(ya-I know -it sounds terrible but it isnt). My boss, an overweight man, loved the candy and was more enthusiastic about me returning to China multiple times because he knew I would bring him more of the freshmilk flavored candy. Have fun and keep us updated. Max bang bang tan http://oldpyro.com/cfv/sucker.jpg Link to comment

She cooked for us at her house tonight.....OMG.....She is a great cook she made like 5 dishes i loved em all.... ok the tofu was good not great. Tomarrow I guess we are having another engagement banquit with 20 or so people coming from her mothers side of the family.

Kyle Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) She cooked for us at her house tonight.....OMG.....She is a great cook she made like 5 dishes i loved em all.... ok the tofu was good not great. Dude, I know exactly what you mean. My wife softened me up with fantastic dishes. Then, she slipped in the ol' tofu surprise. Me and my stomach were not impressed, but, we let it slide nonetheless. Others will disagree with me, but 10000K should be more than enough. We spent less than that, but to be honest, it was three years ago. I've noticed that cilties more mainland, are less expensive than more international cities located on the coast (cost of living). So, 10000K, in my opinon should be more than do-able. When you're at this point in your life, it's more than less a transition of a loss of power on your end and a gain of power on her end. Just roll with it. She knows more about this stuff than you do. I simply showed up to my wedding. Other than that, I didn't make any of the major decisions. Good luck, Robert - it's a fun ride. Edited October 12, 2009 by KJJ (see edit history) Link to comment

I'll try giving you a call tomorrow. Please let your girl know that I may be calling you sometime after 12:00 PM. Would you be so kind to pm me her name so I know what to call her if she answers? Thanks, Robert! Edited October 12, 2009 by KJJ (see edit history) Link to comment
