1. Have just been bundled up in my fluffy slippers and thick plush robe since last night. I am refusing to turn the heat back on at this time of year. I prefer it cooler over the terrible heat that will soon come with summer anyway.

Researching internet and TV for after we move and found this gem, mind you we exceed 250 gb EVERY month:

Yes, but the dishNET Wireline data cap is much larger than for dishNET Satellite service. The 1.5 Mbps plan comes with a 150 GB data cap, while all other dishNET Wireline plans come with a 250 GB data cap. These are extremely large data caps and virtually impossible to exceed with normal internet usage.

That is way more than I usually pay for Chinese! Perhaps this is some fine dining establishment.

Mine is also not fook made.

I wouldn't call it fine dining, but definitely excellent dining.

I can find cheaper chinese food easily, its hard to find better though.

This is arguably my favorite restaurant, see man:

http://pollofeliz.com/inicio/

On each of my Many (3) visits to Ojinaga, I ate an entire roasted pollo there in one sitting.

There was one in Houston, too, and I hope that it's still there.

Spanish trivia, si man:

Pollo = chicken (collective sense)

Gallo = rooster

Gallina = female chicken

Pollito = baby chick

During one of Mrs. T-B.'s weary calls from her hometown, she said that a gallo was "singing" right outside their window, thus preventing sleep of any kind. She borrowed an old, loud floor-fan from her mother, and this served as white noise to drown out most of the gallo's efforts.

We will see whether Mrs. T-B. becomes more compliant and less demanding after she returns home "in relief."

Ciudada-NA America-NA (si man si man)...

Not LPOP therefore, read it.

Meh, have to get ready now to head off to the dentist. Just a cleaning today, but I still don't feel like going.

here in 'Murica, expect 20 bucks minimum for hot pot. 5 people, maybe 60 bucks.

Hint - never, ever go out for hot pot solo. Never, ever. It's a waste of time.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
