I was in my local Trader Joe's doing some shopping. On the frozen food aisle, I noticed that a little girl, maybe 11 years old was staring at me with big curious eyes. I came face to face with her and her mom on the next aisle....

much2say @RichardMeister I couldn't say if they were indeed smarter or if it was the high expectation that was ingrained in them at home. All I can say is it was a wake up call when I hit junior high and met a bunch of other "smarter" Asians . Yep, my...

Today I walked down to the mailbox. It was drizzling, nothing big. On my way back suddenly hailstones came bombarding out of the sky. Luckily I only had a few more steps until I was in the house. Once I was in the house and took...

much2say @RichardMeister Way too sweet? I could eat a billion Reese's - as well as Kit Kats. But yah, best not to keep the sweets in the house! Seems like the next couple weeks we are in the cloudy mid-low 70s - almost feels like rain (only 10-20%...

much2say @RichardMeister I was not exactly pressured . . . I just knew from within that I needed to do well in school. I did pretty well in elementary school . . . I was one of the very few Asians in the school at the time, so people assumed I was so friggin' smart...

much2say @RichardMeister I remember you mentioned this Japanese girl before I can understand her and her family's way of thinking. There is a saying in Japanese about not being a burden on anyone . . . it was especially important to show your worth - that you are...

much2say @RichardMeister One neighbor actually came to our house a few days before to give the kids money (???) - she said she didn't want trick or treaters coming to her house so she warned us it would be lights out. So what candies did you end up buying? I bought...

A couple of days ago I called my brother to inform him of the two percent increase in Social Security. I thought he would want to figure out how much more he was going to get. So I asked him how much he was getting now. “I don’t...

much2say @RichardMeister It's hard to get "real" information from my family . . . they were really too young to remember or understand anything - they only go by what they were told (which doesn't say much). From what I've heard, they say my grandfather had thought...

much2say @RichardMeister Wow, not even one? We were out . . . but as always left a tub of candy and toys on the porch - with a sign of course that says to only take a couple pieces. Every year we've had leftovers - so it seemed the trick or treaters were pretty good...

much2say @RichardMeister Well good that your brother got a better car - less trouble and having to fork out money in the long run. I hope he is stashing his "extras" for a rainy day.

much2say @RichardMeister It's possible that trick or treating from house to house may be a thing of the past . I think a big issue too is just having a lot of candy around the house that kids don't need . . . we know quite a few kids/families that don't...

Judy Evans @RichardMeister My grandmother thought a coloured one was too 'forward' for a young lady too racy if you like. I wonder what my grandmother would think of some of the fashions of today.

Judy Evans @RichardMeister She did. With her first pay she bought a new straw hat with a coloured ribbon but her mother made her replace the ribbon with a black one. She never forget it. It seems a very harsh thing to have done.
