When You know it is just right

[rockycoon]

I'm Glad for you shaun, Told you that all was ok didn't I.  Next time relax, your getting nervious, hands shaking, can't think, relax my friend she has you hooked and isn't letting go.  Keep in mind that she isn't American, she's chinese and your a good catch, she will keep you.
And I told you verison sucked. I think they overcharge anyway.  
Hey, think I hear my girlfriend calling....BAAAAA...wonder if they have
chinese sheep......LOL LOL

Rock, your sick!  It would be Zhaaa or xiaaa!  Verizon wanted $1.99 a minute plus a $100.00 deposit.  The x left me almost 2 months behind on all the bills and it is a chore catching up on 1 salary.  Verizon, water and power are the difficult one to work with, everyone else has been understanding.

Rock Rebtel, like Vince and Nik said, is the way to go. It is $0.019 a minute.  It rook me a while to get working. But I am there and glad of it.

Mike, thanks and you are right.  I had been avoiding the "L" word but there is no denying it.  She's got me hooked and she knows it.

Verison, has a 1.99 friends or family package that is only 1.99 a day, and talk as much as you want. But I don't know if verison is in china. If it is, you should be able to call her for 1.99 a day, and talk as long as you want. I have it, and if I call someone who's on verison, it just tells me that there is no-charge for the call. Might want to check it out.
Love the xxiaaaaaa, wonder if they have chinese eye's, long black hair, I know they are family orented....lol lol  Not to mention, once a year you get a wool coat for xmas....ha ha ha

I went to Verizon last week since I am eligible for an updated phone.  I have a Palm Centro piece of doodoo.  Worst phone I ever owned.  I thought maybe I would get the droid.  Guess what, it doesn't do international yet.

I checked into calling China.  I do not have an international plan and my phone doesn't support it.  W/O the international plan China is $1.99 a minute.  What a rip. The only phone they have worth using for international is a Blackberry and I won't get one.  Hopefully they will update the Droid before I leave for China whenever that is.  I do know it will happen before April 1st.

I'm still waiting for my passport to be returned.  Then I get to file for the visa.

Droid? You mean Android? The Google phone? The Acer is currently the best bang for the buck and it will get updated to Android 2.0 (1.6 is current). Only flaw is battery life ... you can even get QQ mobile on Android.

There are some nice ones coming out in march, I'll get one, HTC Saga they call it over here, the real iPhone killer finally, after so many failed attempts.

PS: any phone with GSM capability will work as a basic phone in China. Even your old piece of doodoo I think. What I'm trying to figure out is how to get 3G broadband on prepaid in China. If anyone has any clues, I'm a taker

In America it is called the Droid. It is a google phone made my Motorola.  I'll try to hold out for the Droid.  The international capabilities may happen Feb. 1.  Hopefully the price will be down then too.

Well, I am back on cloud 9 again.  Two days ago I finally made contact with Peggy via telephone.  She told me she would be headed back to Shenzhen the next day.

Last night she was back on the computer.  I was so happy, but she was still in Shaoguan, unhappy and sick.  She has a bad cold.  She told me she would not talk about her daughter then later told me she was on her daughters computer.  I will be able to talk with her tomorrow morning when she is in Shenzhen.

We professed out love for each other several times.

I have become concerned about one issue though.  She is 46 and it seems her memory is either very short or she is testing me.  I am not sure.  She told me she thought I said I would be there in one month.  She would not give me a date she expected me but one month.

I told her that it did not give me much time to sell the house and business and move all my remaining things to Oklahoma.  She acted like this was all new with her and we had to discuss it all over again.

She didn't want me to sell the store until I explained all of the dynamics and then she said she agreed that I should sell the store.

Is this normal with Chinese women?  I am not sure what to think.  I have noticed this before and it got us into an argument once before.  This time I didn't argue I simply went through it again.  Then she said, "I am sorry do you still love me?"  This statement is what makes me think it was a test.  The test was to check my patience with her and see if I would argue again.  I think.

Any comments?

Shuan, it doesn't sound like she's testing, it sounds like she realizes she's coming on strong or taking control (however she views it) and catches herself.

[shaun]

Vince, if you are right then I am going to have to become a lot more diplomatic and have the 24 hour rule embedded in me.  If she can find the key though I will give her anything she wants.  ("Must hide the key." with the voice of smigel):icon_cheesygrin:

Shaun , it is called information overload , do not forget Peggy to make sense of what you are saying converts your ramblings into Chinese so she can understand it in her mind , therefore if you talk about 4 different things in the 1 session she will be lucky to remember half of it that is why you must keep to the K I S S method to keep things straight , back in your initial ideas you were looking at jumping across around Christmas and being excited that was what she remembers , no good giving 3 different ideas , because in China things get done tomorrow if not sooner , just try in the states if you move into a new house or apartment getting cable etc up and running within 48 hours , that is slow in China , regards Ying and Robert .

I see what you are saying Robert and it makes some sense.  The original plan I would have left 2 days ago.  When the airplane prices went to $4600.00 I gave up and I told her.  Unfortunately everything is so fluid right now that I cannot set a date.  Once I can I will tell her.

[David5o]

4600 Dollars!!  What's that for a ''First Class'' ticket?? ....hahaha!!

David...

[shaun]

David, When I went to bed it was at $1200.00 to the next morning at $4600.00 for the same ticket. Coach!!!:icon_eek:

[Voiceroveip]

Yes actually the plane is full then ... at that rate they overbook and kick somebody off if needed (usually the ones who paid 1200 ^^)

[rockycoon]

Shaun, that's only because the airlines knew you were coming...ha
for that much money, you should get prime rib, a foot & back massage and get to help the pilot fly the damn thing, not to mention free drinks and all kinds of perks. (hot & topless stew's)

Stick to one subject at a time. It can be frustrating for her to assimulate all you know or want in one session, since there is a language barrier of a sort between you. Take one day at a time and go slow, it's starting to sound like a couple of teenager's in love. Don't rush it my friend, you both have the rest of your life's together to figure it out. I did that and just confussed the girl I first wrote to, along with her interpeter. I think the interpeter just gave up and translated a general overall letter, not what I was trying to say.  Screwed everything up for both of us.  We just gave up.
I think with her wanting to know about your business, sounds like she is thinking like a wife in a family way.  Wanting to help you and help withthe family decisions. Nothing serious, just being helpful.  It sounds as though she is very serious about starting a family with you, and is countig on you to do the right thing and marry her.
Also, your looking for a business, why don't you start the FIRST honest china love web site, they make lots of money, you could not only be honest but undercut the competition a little. If I knew you had one going, I'd be the first to sign up.  No retouched photo's or BS translators. You would not even have to leave home, just stay at home with mamma.
Of course you'd have to have tons of control when all those girls come in to sign up and explain to you'r wife your really not looking....ha ha.
