People often wonder why Cirque Du Soleil doesn’t use any animals in it’s shows. The answer may lie in this video. I find this video very disturbing and other viewers will also.

Expats in Asia and The Price of Tea in China
Having lived in China for a year now, it has been interesting to see how many Asian flavored “slurs” pop up in the American language. Sayings and attitudes that made sense before seem a little more foreign now. Because the American homeland IS slowly becoming the foreign place to me now. It’s the curse of the Expat.

The confused girl said to her mother “How is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?”
The mother answered, “Well dear, it’s very simple. Your father told you about his side of the family and I told you about mine!”

It’s a financial black hole, it always needs attention, there are always security updates to do and I get my share of stalkers who a lot of time on their hands and not a lot of direction for more worthwhile pursuits.
But, there are moments that make it all worthwhile. I have a small number of strong friendships that have developed from these communities; and no matter the state of my personal life I make sure the best I can that the communities trudge on.
Today someone posted this note from one of my communities that provides free supp0rt for a serious illness. We’ve been running this for about 7 years now and it’s blossomed into a very special place. These members are somedays just fine, and other days can barely sit up to get to their computer. I was very touched by her comments, here it is:
