Lagging SD memory in brain.. :roll:

Like I've always said, it ain't about memory :siam: but retrieval problem :faint: coz TMI stored inside brain, difficult to retrieve data...
full SD's take forever to download data right? :celebrate:
and of course it didn't help when colleagues and I were talking about terabyte :drool: hard disks!

you can try to use 杜仲for your backpain. I took this a lot when i twisted my back during confinement, and i think it helps. For one person, you try to get the thicker version of the 杜仲, buy about one man's palm size. then you get one pc sweet potato. wash and clean both and put this into a pot. add one and half bowl of water and boil. once boil, turn down the fire and let it continue to boil for another one hour or one and a half hour. If you have a slow cooker, just throw everything inside and cook for 2 hours. during confinement, i didn't use sweet potato, i use other herbs and pork loin. sweet potato works well too. you prob have to take a few times to see and feel the effect.

wow... many thanks! I don really know how to use chinese herbs. I am doing yoga now and it helps a bit.

treenymph, I'm a bit siao-siao but not this :siao:!


Nope, #4 is totally out of the question with THAT kinda MIL. I can almost see her asking you to quickly get up from the delivery bed pan to buy the rice for the family! :!: all whilst sitting in her airconditioned car, engine running and with her super shades perched on her pristine nose! :idea:

With golf club at the back of the car. :idea:


That's why i :faint: when you said casually
cannot think how #4 with this kinda MIL. :roll:

After reading all the posts here, fianally I feel I’m not alone. I’ve never hated a person in my life until I encountered my MIL ("M" stands for "monster" here), and I’m generally considered the nice/non-aggressive/easy-going type. Even though she lives in another continent, those annual gatherings are enough to bring me down. Since our disastrous family vacation with her and BIL’s family during CNY in 2008, I was depressed for the whole year, getting sick all the time with stomach problems and allergies. She doesn’t call our home anymore to avoid talking to me after that but I know she’s complaining to DH behind my back. My relationship with DH also deteriorated sharply.


Here’s a little background about her: she’s a widow from Taiwan who raised her 2 sons all by herself in the U.S. Now lives alone while both sons are working in Asia. At first I respected her for her will power in raising 2 kids all by herself in a foreign land, and sympathized her for ending up in an empty nest. But her bitterness and mean personality slowly erased every little bit of respect I have left for her. To her the only purpose of DILs is to take care of her sons and produce offspring for the family. Though I never expected her to treat me like her own daughter, at least I deserve to be treated like a human being.

There’s a long list of things she had said and done which made me so angry that I don’t know where to begin. I know it’s my health which is going to suffer if I don’t get rid of these kind of negative feelings but it’s really hard to let go. I have sworn not to see her again but I’ll feel sick even hearing DH mentions her in front of my kids.
