Why doesn't our country do more about this crap!  Lead in toys, poisonous drywall, and I once saw a Chinese business woman on TV bragging about her drug business ... how she uses ingredients other than the real drug (often poisonous to humans) and is getting rich on this business.  She said she sells to many other countries with the U.S. being a top buyer.  WHAT?!  This woman was literally bragging on TV about it.

I don't understand why we haven't done something MAJOR about this. 

I never go to the doc or get RXs, but does anyone know if one can tell if they came from China? 

were involved with ball playing by women too.....here's a link for their culture and their sports history....they were always thought of as weak but they were not weak....

I save every packet of sauces from my Chinese food delivery.  Whether I'm cooking bar-b-q (ribs, chicken, pork chops, etc), or baking whatever or grilling, broiling, or boiling, I can usually throw together something from those packets depending on what flavoring I want to achieve.  My dad taught me not to look at recipes, but just to think about how flavors work together and trust your guts.  That doesn't work for everyone, but I've made some delicious dinners when I didn't have any other seasonings in the house but those Chinese food packets :)  Try to remember to balance out a sweet with a sour (or salty) flavor.  I remember how I was horrified when he put cinnamin in a pot roast once, but it was the best roast I ever had.  He had been doing it for years...he just hid it from me.  Once I knew he used it, I enjoyed it more than I ever had!

And my husband is trying to tell me that means I already have everything.

Hmmm......

Since language is "our thing" - and particularly ESL - I thought you'd like to get a head start on what to expect from future Chinese dictators.  Get a load of these Chinese-to-English learning blocks (I'll post this as an URL you can paste into your browser since some are reluctant to click on links):

I suggest we practice by forming sentences, such as:  "The patient is a construction worker who was operating a navvy when a crustacea flew into the cab.  Mistaking it for a darning needle, he swatted at the crustacea and lost control of the navvy, which crashed.  Unfortunately, he was not wearing a safety armet at the time and was knocked unconscious..."

I would think that some of the $12,000 A YEAR he paid in support for over 9 years should have been enough to save some for college. He paid his dues so to speak, always paid the support on time, had insurance for them, etc. He told them straight up to pay for their own college. Is there something wrong with that?
