Actually Pete, given the content of this post, I think you may have even gone backwards since your last post.

Just try to stay positive, as the people who clean up the droppings at the zoo say "no gnus is good gnus".

Hi Peter - now I have another name to add to the list - a lexophile! Love it!

I am sending lots of healing and love to you and the family. Stay positive.

A funny post Peter. One thing we've come to expect from you....a beautiful humor. I pray you can call on it when you need to throughout this ordeal with Vicki. Your humor will get you through a lot of things my dear friend....

Jamie Dawn said...

LOVE the Chinese words. I copied the link for it and will send it on to my mom and dad. Funny!

I will now read your previous post so I can know what's happening with your dear daughter, Vicki.

Hi Peter
I've been by and commented before but quite a while ago. You might have seen my furry face at Merle's

Just to say I loved the Chinese menu it reminds me of one I posted at mine on 1 Jan this year:

Try the Squatting Dragon set meal!:~~

Shi Tibum Chicken with Faast Pu Sauce
Big Pong Pork with Run Toy Let Dressings
with complimentary Ae Ki Be Li pancake rolls
Optional recommended:
(Northern Thai) Ru Ni Spla Ta Yuk Yuk curry (warning: extra hot!)
or an equivalent "dish" from the south (actually only a large tureen will hold it:)
King Prawn and Squid Special Go Khrap Cuiq
or perhaps try the even hotter:
King Prawns Fiil Laik Dai (it's what the prawns died of: comes up even quicker than it went down...)

G'Day Pete,
Love to Vicki.
I think I must be a lexiphile. I love this silly stuff.
