Hi LNW
I am sponsoring girls for their study in Israel, West Bank via the World Vision International for more than 10 years. The problem is my DH already has a biological son with his ex-wife and he said to be fair he is OK if I want to have a kid from my blood but he won't accept those adopted baby whose have no relationship with us. He asked me to take his son as my own kid.....sigh...家家有本难念的经.[/quote]
1) children inherit genes from parents
2) safe environment to grow: children from places with arm conflict will not have such conducive environment
3) food for growth: children from food scarce places will not have enough to eat, to grow well
4) education : Teachers play important role in educating children
5) knowledge and wisdom: children are indebted to the many people before us that discovered these knowledge and wisdom
6) Trees: nature plays a big part sustaining liveable condition for children
There are a lot more than just these 6 conditions for children wellbeing.
Only 1 out of the above 6 are by parents. Non parents play a very big part in the well being of all children today.
Your sponsoring of those girls, in many aspects could change the lives of theirs for the better , more than their biological parents.
And you could be in a a good position to nurture your step son well , maybe even become an important person in his growth and he may appreciate you. -

Very dangerous to change tyre on e'way anyway.
That is, if you HAVE a spare tire. Late last year, I had a flat on the highway and had to call AA for help. A difficult, expensive, and long experience. So much for driving a hybrid car where the spare has been taken up by the batteries :rant:
LTA can tow your car to nearby carpark for free.

Which hybrid did you buy? -

[quote]Freezing creates ice crystals within the structure of the meat (as meat contains a high percentage of water). These ice crystals rupture the fibre which causes the meat to bleed when defrosted. If repeated, the texture of the meat will be very dry[/quote]
Moved this here to comment instead.
Gonna be stressful for those mkt stalls selling chicken and F&B restaurants that rely heavily on supplies from msia.
Too busy to go the the wet mkt lately and don't like the supposed fresh chicken from most supermarkets as I find that they always smell. So ended up getting a pack of frozen boneless chix legs to try.
Cooked stew with it. DD took 1 piece and asked me why the chicken so tough.
While I think it is still acceptable and value for money, both dd and ds can tell the difference in the texture of the meat. -

don't worry. I struggled before at the pump too. :oops:
Do you mommies know/pump petrol on your own?
3 wks ago I was at a regular petrol stn and the cashier told me (from inside) asked me do it myself as there is no staff.. woah I really don't know leh..then drove to another stn and asked the attendant there to teach me.. now I m going to another stn and so far there is attendant there so haven't tried on my own.
I think this need to learn, may not be able get help everytime.
but these days seldom there is a pump with attendants. You went to that obscure Caltex next to SJI? -

SPC has mind-boggling discount structure because it's kind of 'tier-ed' and need to hit certain amount to get the max discount for UOB. Not sure if it's the same for othr cards
The member card has 15%, UOB card has an additional -$3 or -$6 depending on the amount spent...not sure about DBS/POSBeveryday...additional 5%? I think the UOB -$6 offer is a better one.
On top of that,
1. sometimes they give out additional $5 discount coupon during a promotional period.
2. sometimes they also do a 3-days or weekend promotion of additional discount % (the counter staff will let you know)
Oh another perk is for stations with a car wash station, you will get a $3 discount coupon on your car wash within 3 days, stamped on the back of your receipt. -

Yeah... LTA tolled the car to an empty parking lot and I had to call AA to toll it to a tire store. I think it was Deepavali day that day, and I was very lucky the tire shop was open.

I got the super popular Honda Vezel. You probably can spot the car easily in any parking lot. -

Changing tire no joke, esp now into 'senior' phase. -
