Does anyone know if there are any gotchas regarding the Revolution 7.1 sound cards as far as firmware revs, etc?

also,

Has anyone tried a SpaceBall (3d mouse) as PS/2 or USB on a fuel?

thanks,
jay

Well, my wife and I have been together for almost 14 years. She is from mainland China and DEFINITELY NOT THE SUBMISSIVE TYPE!! :D

A word on Japanese women: Quite a few of the ones I know really don't want to settle down until the last minute.

This all being said, best of luck to you! :D All this talk about Japanese and Chinese women. With the Almighty's sense of humor, he'll probably put you madly in love with a girl from Mexico! :D

take care

I would have to agree with mainframe.ai's comments. You just can't generalize. I found that things works best if you just relax and try to enjoy your life. You will find that positive vibes and and a good attitude tend to attract almost any woman. :D

My wife and I were classmates at Calif. State University before she errr, umm, hijacked me. :)

take care

Oh come on. :D It's not THAT bad.

Besides, it's not like I put up a fight. :)

Turns out that the real trick was getting her parents (who didn't speak english) won over. Took me four years to earn her mother's trust. :)

Oh dear. Do you think we need to actively cool hamei for the rest of this thread? Should we employ peliter devices? :D

Hamei, as my mentor (blazin' yoda) would no-doubt say, "breathe......inhale......breathe.." :D

take care,

Okay. I give up. I honestly don't know what to do with you except fill your inbox with sexy pictures of Shu Qi. :D

Ohhh, I have been in THAT boat too damn often!!! Yep, it may be time you two went your separate ways. All in all, it's better to stop it sooner rather than later.

That's one thing I've noticed that you have to watch with Chinese girls. They are used to being in control all the time. If she is truly in your space and trying to eat your life and you can't reason with her, it's time to reach for the ejection lever.

take care and good luck!!!

At the risk of sounding too preachy (and long-winded), I would offer one further comment:

After nearly 15 years with the same woman, I can firmly say that I believe that "the deed" done outside of marriage is akin' to sleeping with an activated landmine.

Please understand that I am not out to convert anyone. It's just my experience I am relating.

The 'girl' in question I think was playing a dangerous game deciding not to take her "pill" when she did. The sad thing is that her real motives may in fact go completely untold.

hamei, my friend, trust me. I WISH I didn't. Next time I am in Hong Kong on business, we can get together and swap horror stories if you want. :D

Nonetheless, Shultzie.mouth->close();

Okay, what's the best Japanese beer you have had?

I have tried:
Asahi
Asahi super dry
Kirin
Sapporo Ichiban
Sapporo Reserve -- currently drinking one now.
Yebisu (yuck!)
Coedo white and red
Koshihikari Echigo (current favorite)
Echigo Stout (ugh, what happened)

So far, it's Koshihikari Echigo that I tend to drink the most.
? 8-)

Thanks Keeper. That makes me thirsty. :D

So, in your best Robin Leech impression, how about a review?

Ah. Somehow I think you will be alright. She may just take this as one of those "life experiences" (at least I am hoping). I would expect her to be upset, but not to the point where she starts throwing things.

Best of luck!

geez, I can't decide whether to laugh or cry.

But since I have a 12-pack hidden in the kitchen, I will just settle for nauseous indifference. :D

Well, glad to hear it went mostly without incident. As far as Chinese women throwing tantrums: my wife is Chinese and she is more cool headed then I am. :lol:

The stalking aspect I can't say I have witnessed.

best of luck.

Yeah, I must admit my sampling is quite narrow. Just my wife and her sisters and cousins. Of course they are all in the US, so they have been Americanized. I know from what my wife tells me that things in china border on barbaric when it comes to mere social interaction, but I think her viewpoint may be biased by her leaving quandong at 8 years old and not really having much interaction with her relatives over there.

Oh well. I am done with women anyway. The answer to the 4:15am question "Dear, if I die, will you marry again?" was answered as NO.

:D

Oh dear, that was sad. I would have just walked away and left her to the police. But then again, I was raised by parents who were a couple of American Judeo-Christian Midwestern farm kids who would have beat me senseless for doing that. :D

Going to call my Dad later and thank him for spanking me all those times!! haha!
