I am going to have 3 full weeks to play with late January into February.
Nothing planned yet but I plan to have a lot of fun.

Quote:June 3 (Bloomberg) -- Ah Wei has an explanation for Foxconn Technology Group Chairman Terry Gou as to why some of his workers are committing suicide at the company’s factory near the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.
“Life is meaningless,†said Ah Wei, his fingernails stained black with the dust from the hundreds of mobile phones he has burnished over the course of a 12-hour overnight shift. “Everyday, I repeat the same thing I did yesterday. We get yelled at all the time. It’s very tough around here.â€
Conversation on the production line is forbidden, bathroom breaks are kept to 10 minutes every two hours and constant noise from the factory washes past his ear plugs, damaging his hearing, Ah Wei said. The company has rejected three requests for a transfer and his monthly salary of 900 yuan ($132) is too meager to send home to his family, said the 21-year-old, who asked that his real name not be used because he is afraid of his managers.
At least 10 employees at Taipei-based Foxconn have taken their lives this year, half of them in May, according to the company, also known as Hon Hai Group. The deaths have forced billionaire founder Gou to open his factories to outside scrutiny and apologize for not being able to stop the suicides. Gou built his company into the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer and now clients from Apple Inc. to Hewlett-Packard Co. are probing the company’s working conditions.
Wonder what the truth is with this.
And how big is a factory with so many employees? Must be absolutely massive. -
A bit out on the side though isn't it, that pussy.

Are you just guessing there with the Karuizawa accusation?

My nephew is nearly 18 now and been going out with the same girl for 3 years. He's really conflicted about whether he is going to university or not - he could if he wanted.
Anyway my brother was going on about the relationship he has and that he should just try to forget that as most relationships break up once people go to college. In my group of friends at college only one pre-college long distance couple lasted the 3 years at uni.
Whats your experience on this? Anyone last it out or are pretty much most doomed?

I've sold a few things on amazon too. Games can get fairly decent prices especially compared to what a store would give you.

Are there really so many people who would have voted for Hillary because she is a woman and now move over to this new chick because she is a woman??

I live a fair distance from ours, but can still hear it easy. Luckily if I am asleep it doesn't usually wake me up but it is annoying.

How long does it take you to get from home to work?
For me it's 5 minutes to the station, 10-15 minutes on the train and then a 10 minute walk.
Usually door to door is about 30 minutes.
