Hostels can cut costs too

Billy, Disney fans are fanatics and if they are pricey on EBay you won't find them cheaper elsewhere unless they have been rereleased. I'd ask the folks on the Main Street mouse (they have Twitter and Facebook pages) but do not use outside links as they will delete the post!

Hope you're coping ok. I understand grief all to well having lost my dad in November and my Mum in April. Hugs

weird new trend... My students seem to prefer it

hoping to go to the DC and possibly NC games. If going join CIA it will reduce your cost majorly.

Hey, any of the Americans or those on this side of the pond going to the summer games?

Hoping that summer is better than my winter and spring!

Happy Birthday, Alex

Junior Senior Banquet last night Picture one is me with two young men I tutor ... Both will play NCAA basketball next fall and the one on the left is already being watched by the NBA... I told them I want my "I knew them when" photo! I so can not believe Nathan has one year left in high school.

I can only imagine I would have been nervous as well! Glad you made it safe and sound!

wishing you safe and uneventful travel

She is a mutt, we aren't sure what dad was mom was a setter or cocker mix. We know dad was big dog, another pup in the litter is 27 lbs (12.2 kg) @ 12 weeks! Cookie is only 8 lbs (3.6 kg).

Our new pup, my gang, and my princess and I post hair-dos.... She lost 5 inches on her length

I only use mine to get class photos from my students and to spy on my children ... Sounds bad but sometimes it is the only way I see Nathan's art.

This was how my work day ended.... My chem kids knew I needed cheered up so they decided to bring me a happy... This makes teaching worth it

Loved them both as well as Brussels when we were there

Congratulations and best of luck! Sounds quite challenging! I think it works backwards here! It still seems surreal that my dad is gone and now my mum is sick and the prognosis isn't good. So, I am doing the best in awful circumstances and trying to take things one day at a time. Good news is my kids are healthy and both playing varsity soccer this year! My husband is my rock of stability and amazing! And I have been asked to stay on full time in the fall at my school!

My son is looking at applying to Purdue for Fall of 2016 in engineering Love going back to campus.

From and where I have lived are very different answers lol I grew up in Michigan, am a Purdue Alum, currently reside in Memphis.... In between I have lived in 6 states and one other country. @Dion, life has thrown me quite a few curve balls in the last few months... Still dealing with the latest but wanted to check in. How are you?

Meijer's is amazing ... I miss it... We don't have it down here...only thing I Miss more is Wegman's

Try Meijer's on State Street in West Lafayette...Meijer's typically carries everything.

Having lived in Shanghai, I have to say most western food is pretty darn good depending on where it is from. You have to make sure the owner is from where the cuisine is from or lived there. I think as an American I find burgers and Mexican food are the hardest things to find abroad.... Sorry but I have never had tacos/burritos/enchiladas as good as they are in San Antonio, Texas unless of course I am in Mexico. And burgers should be juicy and never raw or have an egg on it! Each region of Chia has its own amazing cuisine and western restaurants typically throw them all in the same place.... I love Sichuan... Not Szechuan which is okay love Yunan seasoning, pork rib roast from Hunan is amazing, dumplings mean something different in each region ... Love jiaozi and xiaolongbao, but not lantern dumplings. Dragon burgers are eat at your own risk, you learn to eat fish with th head on... But Sichuan try the Sichuan fish in oil ... Oh my goodness good, as are the dry sautéed green beans Thai is Amazing but in a different way than Chinese, as is Maylay and Vietnamese. Indian isn't even similar IMHO Oh and Ryan's English is Amazing, but he will deny it as he is modest!

Probably...unless you know to ask for the other menu....the one they give to Chinese people!

I just deleted because I had not used it in 8 months! I have Line still which you should be able to use. I actually like it better than wechat or Skype.

I am okay, hard to believe I have been back in the US for a year! I miss Shanghai. It's been a crazy year? How are you? How's the family?
