In the Middle of the Night

[Melrose Plant 1]

Hello All,

Mai and I just got iPhones. Why we need iPhones is beyond me, but Mai wanted an iPhone. She insists that it isn't just because they look cool, but I have yet to see her do anything with her iPhone except make phone calls and check to see what time it is. And every once in a while, she might check to see how cold it is in Hanoi, because I programmed that in there for her.

I, on the other hand, like to play with mine a little bit more, even though I don't know how to use most of the features very effectively. For example, our friend em Nhu had to show me how to delete emails without opening them first. Wickedly simple, but unless you "wipe" the correct way on the screen accidentally, you just have to know how to do it. And no, I certainly don't need an iPhone either. But I've got one somehow.

The point of all this is that I've got the thing set up, just yesterday, to continuously check my email. I don't feel the need to check my email all the time, I was just playing with the phone. It makes a little noise whenever it detects a new email. A very quiet noise, but loud enough I was irritated I forgot to turn it off before I went to bed last night.

Having been awakened anyway, I decided to reach over and find out who was mailing me in the middle of the night. I figured it was yet another person who is convinced that I suffer from severe and persistent Erectile Dysfunction. It was not. In fact, it was an automatically generated email from CRIS, tell me Mai's Green Card production has been ordered. Good news!

But why do they send the thing out in the middle of the night? I guess I don't care. Thank you for listening to my little story.

Awesome news!! I recently got an iPhone and my wife is constantly taking it with her to watch youtube vids of those VN Variety shows. I have to keep reminding her its not just a toy, but my phone too and I'm constantly running into the bathroom to answer/find my phone!

Thanks for the tip. We'll have to look into that. There have been times we wished we had a dictionary with us.

It would be real handy in reverse, too. Whenever I am in Vietnam, I always have a ratty old dictionary stuck in my back pocket. That would help me, too.

Hello my friend,

Long time no see then...:-). Please, say Hi to Mai if she's still remember me...That's the way of Gov's system setup.......About GreenCard, My wife received her GreenCard on Sept while my friend didn't received it yet. We both filed the same time. Anyway, congratulation. "when do you going back VN?"

See, that's the problem. . .

My wife is not a new beginner. We need a good and technical dictionary for more complicated situations. So far, I have seen some basic tourist-based applications, but I hope to find something more substantial.
