The Plnk Ranther Strikes Again

[Asia 2,498]

Can anybody who speak Chinese help me with what's going on with the package I sent to China, please?

I can track the package, and since it crossed Chinese border, all is written in Chinese. I can get it translated to English, or even to Polish, but I still have no idea what's going on...

Can you help me, please?

what I get from that is that the packages arrived in China ..Beijing Intl. and they are being dispatched to whomever you sent them to.

yesterday's roasted garlic butternut squash lasagna did not come out too well...or better yet...i tasted a small spoon of it today and I did not enjoy it much. Not a keeper recipe despite the great reviews.

Today on the menu: saute of chicken, mushrooms and cubanelle peppers with some rice.

I get DSL via the phone company. I have a 12Meg connection for about $60 a month. No sharing bandwidth with the neighbors, its always there and always on. In three years, once its been down for a couple hours. I could get by with less than a 12Meg connection to, but I like it. I've had three computers all streaming movies at the same time with still bandwidth to spare to browse the internet. I've heard nothing but good things about FIOS. People thought Verizon was nuts for running fiber right into people's homes, but I think time has shown they made the right decision. Comcrap on the other hand, is known for poor service, high prices, and leaving people down for days or weeks. They have to charge those high prices to, because they need to advertising so heavily to get people to use their services. Now that net neutrality is gone, you can bet Comcrap is going to go back to limiting bandwidth on some types of connections. They were doing it before the courts ordered them to stop, I bet they're already putting it back in place.

Apparently Fios ranks best in customer satisfaction. All of them rated "sucks" including Fios. But cable vision and optimum is in the business of "rip off". So I fired it.....

Fios saved me about 40 bucks and gave me a 400 dollar rebate. That wasn't even the deciding factor. I just hate optimum.

You're not kiddin tooth.

To Tiffs family, this kid can do no wrong.

Even Tiff got possessed by this kid. He was born to the family when they all lived together. I'm slowly weaning her away from this kid. She has to understand, this is not her son.

I'm sort of having a debate with her now

Sorry to hear that. Good luck getting her to take off the familiar blinders.

We were hitting close to their 200 GB (one month we couldn't watch movies or anything for the last week for fear of going over) per month cap before they had to remove it and they definitely did previously limit certain types of use, I can assure you that.

Our house right now is pretty high use clients for the area, there are times all 4 people in the house are streaming video, doing that and torrenting, etc. Video has gone to ####### this past week though and even though my modem was actually online most of yesterday, the videos were stuttered across a variety of sites and several computers.

My wife has decided to branch into learning to back. First attempt was at new years, she made corn bread, which turned out great. Last night she made chocolate brownies, and OMG they were perfect. I swear my wife is a natural cook. Now she's telling me I'm getting too fat, just as she's starting to bake things like this. I think she's trucking to really screw with my mind. Who tells her husband he needs to lose weight, then hands him a tray of fresh, still warm, cooked to perfection brownies?

No use cap, not limiting of anything on my DSL. Comcast was big on limiting torrents to a trickle until they were ordered not to. Worse service I ever had though was satellite internet. One day they started enforcing a 200M per day limit. So we upgraded to the 500M per day plan, which was also supposed to be faster. When we upgraded the speed got so slow there's no way we could even hit the 200M per day limit. Thank the lord DSL finally hit the area. When you complained about speed, they said to go to their sites for speed testing, of course those all showed it was fine. But go anywhere else and it sucked wind.

LOL sounds like my parents "J, you are fat and gross" ...10 minutes later "J have some roast pork and don't forget to eat that sour cream cake with some chocolate on top" and "J ! Finish that plate and here have another piece you don't want us to throw it away do you".

She loves you and it makes her happy when you eat. Sadly...it also makes you fat so go to the gym I should listen to my own advice or I won't fit thru the door. Smoothies and sitting all day is not good for me.

Easy, they opened you box and took out what they wanted, then taped the box back closed. You'll get an empty box in the end.

Before she got here, I would have gone to the gym, now I'm too fat to go.

easy solution:

http://www.rehrigpacific.com/products-and-services/reusable-transport-packaging/direct-store-delivery-products/delivery-cart

1.) there must be a direct route to the gym

2.) it must be downhill

3.) there better be someone there to open the door when you arrive (walkie talkies are encouraged)

4.) something soft needs to be at the end of the trajectory to prevent injury unless your fat padding is good enough for that

voila !

Are you sure they are 110v?

They're making laptops with 110-240v nowadays...

Heating elements used in these types of devices do not lend themselves to being easily changeable. Its so much cheaper to build them designed to voltage. The laptop on the other hand uses a different type of power supply, which is cheaper to design to operate under a wide range, than to make multiple designs for different markets.

Ah I see the way you always talked about it I figured it was more deep then that.
