Randy W Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Sheep parts on display at our Xinjiang (Mongolian) Bar-b-q shack last night - including the head, and a new sheepskin rug They cut me a rib and about a pound of other meat - it was the tastiest rubber I've ever spent 15 minutes chewing on before I could swallow Meanwhile, his friend (between us and the street) had a few things to say while he watched me eating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy W Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Jiaying is heading for the hospital this week to remove a couple of neck cysts endoscopically, while the third floor is curing. She'll be in and out, I'm not sure how much time she'll be spending there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy W Posted December 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 Some of the outdoor vendors are using nice, bright LED lighting - MUCH better than the typical dingy fluorescent lighting you see everywhere. They also make excellent flashlights, and are widely used in cars, including for headlights - seems like they could do a better job adapting it for home use These little batteries provide all the power they need Seems like ALL the street vendors are switching over to battery-powered LED lighting - nice, bright light, and no wiring needed to hook into an electric source.

amberjack1234 Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Best of luck to Jiaying Randy. OH, and don't you run wild while she is in the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy W Posted December 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks, guys! I think she pulled through okay, but will wait 'till she fully rested up (maybe tomorrow?) before coming home. In the meantime, we got a moocher in the midst! The daughter-in-law showed up yesterday, while Jiaying was getting ready to go in, showed up for her (and the grandson's) free meal, a self-cooked dinner, and stuck around for a while to use our wi-fi and bathroom. She came back again tonight, and pulled the same thing - I had to call Jiaying twice to figure out what was going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg.D. Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 Well, I hope that's the worst of your problems this week. Did she cook enough for you, too? I think that was her purpose .... to take care of you, grandpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy W Posted December 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Glad things turned out OK, Randy. Have a good Christmas. Thanks, Eric! You, too, It looks like she's going to stay for the full three or four days, since she needs IV's. Well, I hope that's the worst of your problems this week. Did she cook enough for you, too? I think that was her purpose .... to take care of you, grandpa. No, she cooks for herself and the grandson, but DOES usually offer some to others. She's like a "friend" who drops by periodically to sit on the couch and avail herself of the facilities - we're right across from the grandson's day care, while she lives across town. Jiaying usually complains about her also. She and Jiaying's son are divorced now. At the time I posted that, she was all that stood between me and my Christmas steak, so I was a little anxious for her to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsap seui Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Glad to hear that Jiaying is okay, Randy. It looks like Jiaying Tower is well on it's way to lofty heights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy W Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Well, I hope that's the worst of your problems this week. Did she cook enough for you, too? I think that was her purpose .... to take care of you, grandpa. No, she cooks for herself and the grandson, but DOES usually offer some to others. She's like a "friend" who drops by periodically to sit on the couch and avail herself of the facilities - we're right across from the grandson's day care, while she lives across town.

At the time I posted that, she was all that stood between me and my Christmas steak, so I was a little anxious for her to leave. Well, she showed up last week while Jiaying was temporarily home from the hospital, didn't say a thing about the hospital thing, and started cooking herself dinner after Jiaying disappeared to the bedroom. They had it out, and we are now "grandparents non-gratin" (yes, I know that's grandparents without cheese). Jiaying sent the grandson's clothes back, and will soon send his toys over there also - the mother is on her own now. Jiaying already seems less stressed out. There's just a VERY bizarre sense of entitlement in that girl! Edited January 3, 2016 by Randy W (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wawster Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 LOL...Randy, Jiaying shows the same definitive sense of purpose that my Yifang does. Once she's done with something, she's done!Sorry that you won't be seeing the grandson for awhile, but I'm glad that Jiaying is doing better, and that the Jiaying tower is progressing!And Christmas steak....sounds like a really good tradition!
