BTW, Nohmi, did I get you a drink? I thought you might like a Tequilla Sunrise and a few of worlds best chocolates: Viennese Mozartkugeln.
Cheers!
Love Tequila Sunrise, and I am always available when chocolates are being passed around.

After you have typed whatever you want put into the spoiler, Highlight it,and then click on the eyeball, which is 3rd from the right. You now have a 'spoiler'

DFW traffic has nothing on Chicago traffic. It's actually possible to get to both downtowns without a near death experience.

What am I doing? Lots on my mind.

I was really disturbed when I got home at midnight last night and discovered it, I'm better now that I've gotten a response from BoB telling me what's going on and that it's supposed to be temporary.
I overslept even for me today - Chris got up early to do some work on his computer, but I went back to sleep, so I'm having a hard time getting alert today.
Contemplating our fifth anniversary (this weekend) and planning the honeymoon we haven't taken yet. At the moment looks like we might kill two birds with one stone: The long Amtrak trip we both want to take, coupled with a visit to the kids so I can "meet" my granddaughter. That part of it (the trip) won't be until March or April, but that's fine with me, I'd rather wait until it's a bit warmer (and maybe greener) at the destination (Texas). The only part I'm dreading is renting a car in Dallas and driving out to where my daughter lives (about a hundred miles, through Dallas/Ft. Worth metro traffic). Well, Chris would be the one driving. I'll be sitting in the passenger seat with my eyes closed.

just had a good time wandering alone on bike, the city is obviously much less crowded near Lunar New Year, two third of shops and stores are closed and the streets are filled with flowers. That's the city I love.

Is it your own city? Are you still on holiday?
No matter where you are; I think your weather is a lot better than most of that of the members of the forum.

Yes, simply hit that multi-post button for each post you want to quote. Just make sure that on the last post in the series you want to quote you hit the regular quote button (not the multi-post button) and you're set!

Yep, minus 5°C here ! Brrrrrrrrrrr

I just found out I've been made first author of a research report I've been working on with two other people! Although both of them have 15 to 20 more years of reserach experience, I invested the most hours in this study so they proposed making me first author. And of course I'm not going to disagree Yippieeeeee!

That's the city where I was born, where I grew up with. Yep, I'm still on holiday and I'll go back to the capital in a week from now, when the holiday ends, to start the 2nd term of freshman's life and it's hot here, t-shirts, shorts and sandals are the ideal clothes.

no you don't know about the winter in tropical area. Many friends of mine have gone to snowy places and they say it's still easier to deal with, rather than the 10-degree-winter in the north of Vietnam. the humidity usually goes up to 100% and it's horrible. When you touch a thing, especially new clothes in the drawer or the blanket that nobody used in the last 5 minutes, you'll see, it's cold in a wet way - much colder than when it's cold in a dry way That's something I can't describe using words, you guys should experience it yourselves.
