you aren't the General Tsao of General Tsao's chicken fame, are you?

<thud>

ehBeth,
One and the same. ROR.

Actually, my ancestry goes back to General Tsao's time (the real General Tsao of Something-B.C.). I presume that Gen. Tsao's chicken was named after Ts'ao Ts'ao, a warrior of legendary stature. But I am not of his line.

I gotta admit, though, that it's really fun to go to a Chinese restaurant here in the states and show them my driver's license. Smile

Welcome. You'll definitely find this place interesting, in more than one way. :wink: There's something for everyone here.

Baby,

You'll find a lot of phrases that are homeles here, trust me. BTW, how on earth did you decide on such a cutesy name? Confused

I was thinking the same thing as Wiyaka; but, anyway, Welcome to A2K! I hope that you stick around longer than just a bit! How long have you been going by that name?

babysmurfette,

A nickname given by family or perhaps friends? My Dad started calling me Sam shortly after my birth.

In Army Basic Training our two all female Platoons were dubbed "The Smurfettes" by our DIs.

Fond memories now, at the time Sad Evil or Very Mad. For some reason the idea of smurfets as soldiers gave me the impression that the two paratrooper DIs, who gave the nickname, did not think much of females in the military.

well no matter women can do just as much as men sometimes even more when placed in certain situations, men just sometime get envious that women are going out and doning more with their live now rather than being a typical house wife.

Welcome, Smurfette, enjoy the many different things A2K can do for you! I had some relations in London Ontario once upon a time, wonder if I still have??
