Asian American Romance: [asianamericanromance] Re: Sharon re-visted

Hi Jerry,

In chinese, we said need as in "need + want" and said want as in "want". That's interesting to learn your lovely stories in family.

I also have a joke over words playing around earlier today. As I am preparing for national examination for a job, I study in a pay studing institution where anyone who need a transquiliant place for study come.This morning, the counter greeted a regular customer by saying "What brings you here today?" (It's funny coz everyone comes here for study obsolutely.)

You started your story with "Many years ago in a galaxy far away."
Didn't know you were at that star war. I always like to listen to hero story.

Dammnit Jerry for the fact that you are married ! Your that advertisement which described how ugly n poor you are and how greedy you are for girls is really attractive. I would like to see for myself what kind of person would write down stuff like this like those who were in desperate in Oakland. Like your good sense of humour.

If you are divorced, thats a good offer as a challenge to make you divorce for me. As if I could make you divorce for me.. I would definately have attracted enough men already. So let's see how much I could appeal you for divorcemt then...n meanwhile don't tell your wife you are discussing on this group. lol

And thank you for your sharing of dating website.

Warm regards,
Sharon
