Lodo - That content aware scaling is really awesome! I was amazed at how the volkswagon was squished without any distortion of the wheels. I only showed W how to use Microsoft Digital Imaging Pro for her photo editing. Photoshop would be a bit overwhelming for her.
Mixed asian heritage is not an issue here - I think it is just that kids find things different with each other and sometimes tease about the differences. There also may be some jealousy toward my son because he is quite a ways ahead academically.
I found out from G40 that all of the mixed race asians in Vietnam were so shunned that three years ago they were all sponsored away or kicked out. They came over in droves to the USA and surronding countries. Speaks volumes about diversity in a communist country. It is completely opposite in nearby Thailand where mixed race asians are successful in the pop culture.
Talked to W again and S8 is upbeat now. She also told me that there was no hidden agenda behind getting me the pants. She says when she shops for the kids she always thinks of me and she so wants to remain friends with me. One of these days I am going to ask her if she has ever heard of the term "Batchitt Crazy".
Mike, I tried to tell her I did not want them but she insisted that I take them as it makes her "feel good to help me out". I had told her I had to take a pair of pants earlier this week to the tailor to replace the zipper and that I only had 2 pair of long pants that I regularly wear. She must have felt sorry for me.
If she wants to help me out, she should drop her greedy demands for me to pay her spousal support when it is apparent she does not need it. She has been living with OM for 9 months and I have not paid her any money which is proof in itself that she is surviving ok without spousal support.
