How are you doing? Hope you are all doing well.

I just read an email in Chinese from a friend saying that it is very dangerous wearing contact lenses while doing Bar B Q. It is a true story. A young man wearing contact lenses was doing Bar B Q with friends in a park. Because of the heat, the contact lenses burned and damage his eyes. H eventually became blind. Make sure you don’t wear contact lenses and do Bar B Q at the same time..

This was an email to my brother and I from my dad. He titled the subject ”Re: Radiation” even though it wasn’t a reply to anything.

Hey,

Just a note to remind you( while at reproductive age) about reducing radiation exposure as much as possible.  Especially avoid new airport body scan.  Please go to airport early and select manual screen.

Cal, btw, have you invested in a nice bedding matress?

Part of Stanford’s application involves answering the following essay question:

Virtually all of Stanford’s undergraduates live on campus. What would you want your future roommate to know about you? Tell us something about you that will help your future roommate — and us — know you better.

On his own initiative, my friend’s dad decided to take a crack at it. This is his final draft…

 

If my future roommate ask my any friend ,is Peter very very like to participate in school’s activities and friend’s party ? Well than he must get the answer that is YES. Certainly, with my friends, I very very like taking about how to approach the world and nature., doing home work, watching movies, shopping and taking dinner at a restaurant With my friends, I feel they do need me ,and that enables me to do something. So that I am sincerely exciting.

Virtually, letting everybody liking you is not easy thing. To remember since grade 10, I am highly interested in Math, Biological Science and Chemistry, and I have taken many additional courses about those. I participated in some Notional Contest and got great achievement. Gradually, some classmates ask me some questions. Sometime I knew how to solve at a glance with a little bit haughty attitude to answer. As a result, my classmates did not recognize me as a excellent person, and then become a “hero” among them. Therefor, I specially stray at a period. I begun to think and tried to do something for changing. At beginning, I corrected my prideful attitude, and lend an attentive ear to their to their ideas, and take a respected, humbly and patiencely with hem to discuss questions, and try hard to let them understand my solving ways. Whether how asperity language that even insulted my self-respect a student made, I still keep my temper with highly complaint when we met impetuosity dispute. On this time, I always talk to myself in my heart to try nicely treat people. Because they ask me questions this case means they have recognized me and respected me. How can I suffer from a small chagrin? Gradually, I have learned to allowance people. I feel more rap off each other is the best way to understand each other. Sometime I try to find out my disadvantage and outperforming myself. I face a mirror and give me a representation, and figure out a nice expression, to figure out a honest eyes that clap eyes on people, to figure out a suitablebility of dumb show and stand pose when I speech to somebody. Finally I have taken those format to affiliate with people. 

By the way, I will tell my future roommate, I would move in the bedcharmber in advance and patiencely wait he will coming. Then we will discuss to arrange how to use the space, then I will open my baggage. Maybe you could hear the welcome music I perform with viloa before you will enter the room.

My brother was backpacking across Japan during the summer and there was an earthquake. My dad was worried, so he sent him an e-mail to check up on him.

Hi,

Let me know how you survived first the typhoon and then the earthquake?

Did you get the gundam and gosilla attack at the same time?

My parents are both empty nesters, so there is no reason why they each have their own minivan, but they do. My dad is REALLY into keeping it clean, tuned up…he takes care of his van. This is his latest project to increase the value of his van should he decide to sell it. Notice the ‘fruity’ carpet goes from front to the back of the van, he even meticulously cut out the holes for the chairs to fit perfectly. Here’s to my dad, in all his FOB glory!
