... in response to Oscar, questions, posted by Jack on Jan 20, 2003She's doing just great. I don't understand it when I have read where guys girls are upset about this or that or don't like this about America etc.. She loves it here and is amazed at how friendly people are. She adores my family and they her so that is a lucky nice fit. I ask her every few days if she has found anything she doesn't like but she has a really hard time coming up with much. She was quite surprised at how many overweight people seem to live in America, but she doesn't dwell on it much. One gripe is she feels these people likely eat too much fast food which she does not feel is good, and I agree. We have kind of a standing joke, that when I eat something bad or too much etc., she says to me "I'm very afraid!" (thinking I'll get fat) and she laughs!
I guess one thing is that she gets a little tiff'd because I cook a lot and I always want to be involved in helping to clean up after etc.. I know I should just let her do it more but I'm just not used to having a woman do those things for me! She loves my cooking but I need to let her cook more I think..
Smile and chuckle?? Oh yeah, there's a ton of things.. Like her ironing all the sheets after washing them the first time! LOL!
When I'm at work, sometimes she goes grocery shopping with my cousins or sister, sometimes she just cleans the house (I can say that it is the cleanest it has EVER been!). She works a lot on her English and takes hour long walks because she is not needing to walk everyday to get places like she had to at home! LOL! When my sister (who is overweight) heard that she goes on hour long fast walks, she about died!
Yeah, not one problem, not one temper outburst from her son still... nothing. We spent some time last night for dinner with a friend and his wife whom she had never met before. They have 2 kids (4 & 7) that were not very well behaved. The house was kind of a mess and the kitchen was a disaster.. He didn't ever offer to help his wife really. They really are super nice people but when we left, we both turned to each other in the car and she said, "I think I am very lucky voman!" and I said, "I think I am very lucky man!", and we both just laughed and laughed.. LOL!
