Lovely sunny day here

Ayi's homemade chicken fried rice for dinner! Yum

It is great that they are keeping the language alive. Mandarin is hard but worth it!! But I need it daily so I may be biased. Which Island do you hail from? I really need to learn Korean since I have a class where 9 of the 13 students are Korean.

Remember the part about sunscreen! You want to protect your skin and the sun is different than UK. Wear it on cloudy days too and apply often. (sorry it is the mom in me)

Feeling great! Had good friends over for a BBQ for dinner last night. Had a great day wandering the streets of Shanghai with my sweetie!! Treated to a new camera and then our boys had an amazing win!! Wondering what being a personal Eva means LOL

Torres is on a roll!! Barton is a butthead!

apparently one that isn't big enough to jump in/on!

Holy cow! Who lit the damn fire under Torres and how do we keep it lit??

Hot weather? what does that mean to you? I have a feeling my definition is different! Hope the train ride goes smoothly and the test went well!

I was going to ask if the red was deserved since I didn't get to see the match but evidently from the comments it was. Sometimes I really want to know what JT thinks... he has to know that kind of dumb ass move will earn a red and it was an idiotic risk to take!

nervous about the game tonight but excited for my son who will be going to a visual arts program and a very good summer institute in the US!

2:30 am I believe the time difference is 2 hours between you and I. 4:30 is do able since I usually get up at 5 or 5:30, but 2:30 would be awful for me.

I will have to wait for the delayed showing of the game since it will be on in the wee hours of the morning and I have to work the next morning. I hope we pull it out and I think the boys are capable when they are on their game. Let's hope tomorrow they are absolutely at their best!

Thank you for a history lesson that I didn't need especially from someone who isn't even 1/2 my age. I studied it the entire time I grew up and lived thru the "Cold War" years which you did not. You completely misinterpreted what I meant when I said it baffles me. What baffles me is that they have taken on the roles of "peacekeeper", "bringer of democracy", and "capitalism" whether the help is wanted or not. It alienates the US from other countries and makes the US the "bad guy" in every conflict on the planet whether the involvement is real or perceived. It doesn't matter what the US does, it will offend someone somewhere. To be honest, it gets boring listen to everyone pass the blame on to the US and call the US evil, meddling, etc. and it gets downright offensive frequently.

You don't offend me, I just wanted clarification on why you said what you said. Our president can only do so much without congress and Obama made promises he couldn't possibly keep and got elected on them. Since our choices are 4 more years of Obama or the clowns the republicans have picked I don't think anything is going to change or get better. You won't offend me by stating facts or can back up your opinion. What bugs me is when people assume something about all Americans... you can not judge any country's populace by it's government or even the idiotic snippets of a population in the clips that go viral. BTW, I agree that the race shouldn't have been run and that the US needs to keep it's nose out of the politics of other nations. The US foreign policy has always astounded me and baffled me.

i think the bigger problem is that the news only reports the uprising in relation to the F1 race and not to the fact that this problem will exist long after the race is over! I don't think they should have run the race when so much is going on and so many people being hurt! ** I have to ask "How can the US send the Saudi Army into another country"??? Our government does not have that kind of power and with Obama in power they aren't going to try... now if Bush was still in office then I could see them try but not Obama.

thanks

me on Saturday

Just freakin' tired!! and Ron would understand!! I'm addicted to you Alex but people just take that the wrong way! LOL

absolutely gutted that the game is on at 1:45 am here! I have to work at 7 am in the morning and I'm to damn old to do that with out a proper nights sleep!

why yes we are!

And on the wrong freakin' continent I bet!

zoyales

where the hell were y'all when I was in my early 20's???
