Who wants a TV on a wall with a nearby window. The TV in out family room sits below a good sized window and it is quite close to the corner of the room with equal sized window. It is hard to watch it during the day unless we close the blinds. There is too much glare from above to the right and reflected light from the other window. Thank goodness we rarely watch TV during the day. |

The population of Ann Arbor, MI is 68.6% White Alone, 15.9% Asian Alone, and 6.89% Black or African American Alone. That's a huge (relatively speaking) Asian population. Cindy Hamilton |

Most Americans are pretty much blind to the stuff that goes down with being Asian-American in the US. To Asian-Americans, it's obvious. I read an interesting letter to the editors in the paper the other day that had been written by a guy who identified himself as being Chinese-Canadian and he rejected claims about wide spread anti Chinese discrimination. He said that in all his years here he had only been subjected to one racist remark, and he passed that off as the guy being an idiot. He went on to say that any negativity towards Chinese was nothing compared to the anti black racism in the Chinese community. |

We don't much care for attributions of socioeconomic classes. We're trying to forget about our plantation heritage. Besides, who the heck calls their neighbors "sir?" Mostly, we show our respect to our elders, for they are the keepers of knowledge and experience. They're called "Uncle, Auntie, tutu, Kapuna, Sensei, Kumu." > What I can tell you about a person in Hawaii addressing their neighbor as "sir" is that they haven't been here long and that they come from a place where they're seen as being low on the class structure. My husband calls men "sir" all the time. It's the way he was raised. He also refers to women as "ladies": That lady in the red top. Cindy Hamilton |

"he smirked in triumph" I suppose you fall under "silly", but that isn't my first association to the work. Cindy |

Too many times, I plan something good then settle for less and easier. Many things, a pain in the ass to prepare yet when you do spend the time, it's so rewarding in the end. For that reason, I still cook large for many leftovers and the only time I'll do that is early morning when I have the max energy for doing it. (and I'm not hungry yet) I need to cook a pound of loose hot sausage today and I've already waited too long but I'll make myself do it today. I've already put it off since last week. Many nights I would have loved to eat it but it still sits raw in my fridge. Anyway...no lunch for me today until I cook that first. |
