Oh, tough situation! Best of luck!! You've also made me realize how glad I am that I am married and haven't had to deal with dating for the last 20 years! LOL I've had a great day baking cupcakes with my daughter

I hope you have an amazing day!! :blue scalf:

I hope there is no tsunami my thoughts and prayers are with everyone there! Take care!

coming home after a week away

I love trying new foods. We just came home from Japan and the food was amazing. I live in Shanghai (slightly sweet foods) and have an ayi for Sichuan (very spicy). One of my favorite places to go out to eat is called Lost Heaven (it is a chain in china and the food is mostly Yan'an style and very flavorful without being overly spicy. I enjoy eating Mediterranean food, and German food (I was raised on it since my great-grandparents were born there). The best foods I've had: lamb chops in New Zealand at a friends house Fish and Chips in London and Edinburg (someone above mentioned how different Australian fish and chips were from those in the UK and I'd add NZ is very different too) Best Hamburgers: XXX in West Lafayette, IN (I miss a good US hamburger!) Best dry rub BBQ ribs: Rendezvous in Memphis, TN Best Wet BBQ ribs: the commissary in Germantown, TN Best Steak: My dad's house! LOL or Roosevelt's in Shanghai or Ruth's Chris As far as drinks: I like cider and the UK has be best by far or a good glass of wine

I was watching a show on National Geographic and this made me laugh

Washington DC on July 28 looks like they will play AC Milan

i saw blurb on Facebook today where Rio Ferdinand was going to "instruct" younger players on the appropriate use of Facebook and Twitter.... Rio to be an example of "good behavior"???? Isn't that an oxymoron?

cheer them on for me, lads, I will miss most of the game since we have tickets for the Shenhua game tonight. I will hopefully catch the end when we get home! Hoping for a win tonight and I hope it is good even if we need to be scrappy

Alex, I think this is just one more reason I love you! :heart: If the game is on during the night (for me), I sleep in my JT Jersey :eyebrows:

:heart: hmm my thoughts need to be censored

welcome

oh quite possibly.... or maybe I could teach you :eyebrows:

I'm still in a school in a way... LOL I am a science teacher at an international school. I have no interest in being a student again at my age!

We all have those times in our lives. Hope all is well with you and you find your equilibrium again and are back soon. Take Care.

I don't think you're comment is racist at all, but what you may have picked up on is that it is a problem that has a correlation to ethnicity as well as hereditary. A study in the US found that African-American athletes were 3 x more likely to have an abnormal ECG than their white counterparts. http://www.sportssafety.org/articles/heart-disease/ http://www.cardiosmart.org/news/default.aspx?id=1240 What I find amazing is that they miss these heart issues even with all the medical screenings that professional athletes undergo. Any news on Muamba today? Is he still being kept in an induced coma? My prayers and thoughts are with him and his family. I can imagine how his wife feels and my heart breaks for her.

perhaps the fact that Torres has lightened his hair again has lightened him on his feet?? LOL

ESPN is the pits, doesn't matter what continent you are on Who did konciesky (spelling?) used to play for? Way to go Cech!

AHHHH How the hell did Torres not score? Love Cahill's message (Very classy), amazed Kalou scored! Hoping Mata scores!

My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. I wish him a full and speedy recovery

congratulations

just glad were in it. I am hoping Barca get Madrid LOL then one will take the other out! I have a feeling we'll get Bayern... but again just happy we made it this far.

so pissed I missed the game but so proud of our lads!!! About darn time they stepped up the game and played with that kind of passion

The games will be in Portland, DC and NYC. I wish there was something in the middle of the US I am not sure I will be able to make any of them since I will only be back in the US for a month.

Latest news is that they will play Celtic in Yankee Stadium (no date yet)
