Tonight hubby and I went to New China Buffet in Eagan MN. Well I will have to say I am very disappointed and I hope I do not end up with food poisoning. Last time we went it was not this bad, and I was almost shocked at how ran down the place was, and honestly I am not sure I would want to see what the kitchen looks like. I will probably have a unpleasant none natural colon cleanser done to me with out really wanting it, but I can already tell I might have troubles with the stomach. If I do then I think I will know right where it came from. Well lets get to the decor, many of the booths had tiers in the sit, and some of the chairs where in the same place. The decor hasn’t changed in many years, the wall paper looks like it was about to come down. The ceiling had water stains on the roof. At one point my husband told me something like, they need Ramsey to come here, and he have a fit. My husband tries to imitate him, which is sometimes funny. Tonight it wasn’t so funny it was more worry some then funny.
Well we got our food extremely fast, and it wasn’t exactly very warm. I order the Chicken almond ding, hubby had the chicken curry. Lets see it came very quickly as I said before his food wasn’t even warm but he didn’t send it back. I took a bite into my chicken, and it was well simply not right, it was like geewy rubbery. It didn’t taste fully cooked neither, so I took my fork and spoon and cut it open and the chicken was pink. ow wait a minute it pink chicken meat looking almost raw is not safe. I sent it back. It looked more well cooked when they brought it back, but still tasted wrong. It still had a overly chewy texture, and didn’t taste right. I bite into another piece and found it was still to pink. I decided I would take it home and throw it in the frying pan and cook it myself. By the time I got home I decided not to cook it because I started thinking about the types of food poisoning once it spreads it contaminates everything, and I do not want to be sick and miss work because of it. Now I am hoping I will be fine but if the Toilet because my best friend tonight for the night we’ll know.
Hubby said they had a lot of garlic in his curry. Okay I have had curry and garlic is a flavor but its never over powers the curry. Hubby wasn’t impressed with is dinner and he said we will probably not come back.
Part of the reason we do not want to come back is because of what was said to us. When she brought back the food we where told the cook just wanted to get it out very fast so the meat wouldn’t dry out. Wait a minute, I was tempted to ask her if they where cooking, freezing and then recooking. This would explain the cold inappropriately cooked chicken meat and the beef not being exactly right. I am not sure if we will visit there again. I was not happy and honestly think if they are having troubles maybe they need someone like Ramsey to come and help them and frankly teach them how to cook correctly. I simply disappointed and I think next time we will just wait till we get home for our Chinese food.

My Toshiba laptop has been running so hot lately that its burned me a few times, and now I got a ugly red patch on the top of one of my legs. It not blistered thank goodness because I would bring it in, to Toshiba with my poor legs, and show them, this is running way to hot for safety. My computer has always ran a little on the hot side during the summer doing homework was unpleasant because it makes you feel hot having something hot in your lap.
So I decided to go to newegg.com, goodness I love that site, next on my list is Window7, Visita crashed my poor laptop to many times with the updates it keeps trying to give me, so I am annoyed.
Now with the new cool I think my lap top needs some quick weight loss because it has made it heavy, but I rather that then the other. I love this little cooler, it the same size as mine, it for computer 12 to 17 inches, and it turns around too, so I don’t have to pick it up if I put the laptop on the table and want to show dad or hubby something I can just set it up and turn the computer, no picking up required.
It also adjusts the fan in 5 setting counting when it on the flat setting. The fan is protected so it can’t get a bunch of cat hair from the pants or what have you. I can lay it on the floor and not worry if it hasn’t been vacuumed because between the fan and floor there a barrier.
I am very happy with this product. It takes a lot to keep me happy, I’ve had it for a week. So I will see how long it actually lasts. By the way no matter what I do about the cat hair, I think shaving the cat bowled is the only way to solve the cat hair problem, he sheds on command.

Our year membership is almost over, and we are planning on renewing it. Tonight hubby and I went in to grab dad his spoon fulls, and me I decided to find some bras, they don’t have much selection but I found a package of 3 sport bras, for a little under 10$, and we took a quick look at someindustrial products along with music players and the little mini laptops for hubby. Boy those things have some serious battery life, let me tell you. Now we did see an Acer which battery life sucked worst them my Toshiba Laptop, which I think might actually last long and is bigger then it. Oh well, we didn’t buy anything tonight that hubby wanted to look at. I would like to see him get into a nice little laptop so he can spend time out here with me, when he wants to work on his computer.
Well we got to Sam club to night and I have to say their door people who greet some of them need to find another line of work. Very rude and almost pushy, but this one tonight wasn’t as bad. The gentleman who helped with the computer question was a Apple user, so he didn’t have much knowledge about PC stuff, but he was nice, and pleasant. But I hate to say this selling computers wouldn’t be a strong point, now if they had apple I bet he could get those sold pretty easily.
The cashier called me daddies little girl, because I have dad account and told him one cards dad and the other mine. What he doesn’t understand is daddy little girl is daddy little caregiver, who responsible for his well-being and if I am not careful, daddy little girl could get into a lot of trouble.
It’s important I keep dad and my account separate, sometimes it hard because we have the same bank, so the stupid cards are the exact same color, so I don’t get to just hand them a card and not worry about it. I’ve bounce my account many times the this year.

I can’t believe I have had a little time to be able to play Dragon Age in my final class at College. But I had a 2 weeks break and took advantage of that, tomorrow is my last day of classes. I am so happy it will give me more time to play the game.
This is a interesting game to say the least. It seems no matter what your character will be stuck as a gray warden, so I am not sure how different the game play will be not like there to many blinds on it.
I am playing as a mage, So my character doesn’t use many weapons, and isn’t very strong on close up attacks so attacking from a distance is a good idea. My hubby is playing as a rouge something seem easier for him then for me but that’s okay.
This game gives you some choices which is nice, and there enough hunting to be doing. The battles are action based. The game has some challenging battles in the beginning but not to challenging to where you want to put the game away.
One thing I found interesting in this game is that your party has approval ratings for your actions and if they dislike you enough they will leave your party. I find this to be a good thing but kind of challenges because it seems if you make one member happy you tick of the other in turn. So the key is to keep everyone happy enough not to leave you.
I guess the world in this game is being over ran by demons, and as a gray warden you get to conquer them with some consequences. The graphics are pretty good but to bad they can not go up to 1080p I believe it’s 720p but the graphics are still good.

I work part-time with children and I am always being exposed to one illness or another. This year I have been exposed to several different flues, and respiratory infections. I have asthma, so I have gotten ill a few times over the last few months. In the past I have tried the flu vaccines but always end up being just as sick or worst after doing that, and I seem to get over the flue quicker on my own than trying to prevent it by vaccines. So when I was asked to try Respiratory Guard, which is a all natural supplement , I felt this would be great, if it could help me deal with flue like systems. Well when I got it I found out it was a daily supplement. I figured it ought to be great as long as it was natural.
It is 100 percent natural and there are no fake sugars, which is important it’s made with Elderberry. It take 2 lozenges daily, you can either chew it or suck it. I can’t chew them it simply not soft enough to do that, but it doesn’t have a horrible taste, so sucking on it works nicely. The box claims it supports immune defense. Does it do that I been taking it for about a week now, and to be honest I haven’t felt sick since going back to work. I would say it seems I have more energy but I am not sure if it from the supplement or from working the same schedule everyday that helped me feels more energetic.
Does the supplement work; I believe it might work to help prevent illness. I believe it a better avenue then getting vaccines, and seem to me like it works better than some supplements out there. As far as I can tell it works pretty good, but with a week worth of time, it is hard to tell how well it works and what the immune system will do after being on it a long time. It tastes a little different if you’re not used to elderberries but it doesn’t taste bad.
It is a little expensive to get, but it might be worth it, a person can order respiratory guard from respitoryguard.com, I do not know if they will make it available at the local grocery store or how long something like that takes to get to that point.
This review is a result of a feedback campaign by Respiratory Guard. As a recipient I was asked to give an honest opinion about the product I received. Good reviews were not incentivized and poor reviews will not be censored for their opinion of the product.

University lift is very hard for the working adult, between working and other responsibility where is there time to get a good degree program, and then accomplish it. There are several universities who have online degree programs for adult learner When trying to pick a university it is important to make sure it is a good one for you and for the life style you live. I have attended college for a few years now and almost done.
Some of the things I looked at before picking my online degree program was accreditation it is important to have that because if it doesn’t credits will not transfer out even though they might accept credits from other schools. WGU has some accreditation, and there terms are 6 months long. This is one way they can help you gain a degree, they even have graduation ceremonies for students who want to walk the lines. The Tuition is a lot lower then most colleges, because they are a non-profit, and what adult learn does not want to save money on tuition.

Today we had my Birthday celebrate at Cecils, it started off with 10 people showing up, and the group grew to 14 people. I found out a couple of friends I didn’t know where coming came. I am glad they did, it was nice. Our waiter did a good job of handling our group, it was large and they are a little Jewish delli. I bet they wished they could shrink tube and make us take up less space. We almost covered the length of the restaurant we had one couple not inside of the group, but that’s okay they where placed close enough to go and walk over and talk to them.
It was the perfect pick because everyone who was invited follow Kosher rules, as far as clean and unclean foods. I ordered the Lox burger, I will have to remember to ask for Kaper next time. Those are hard to explain but I love them, to be honest I am not even sure where they come from. The kitchen did a great job at delivering everyone food in a timely manner, and served hot food hot and cold food cold. I was even wished Happy B-day by the a few of the staff, at least no one sang to me. I don’t know why, I would rather people not sing to me.
I guess I don’t mind a little bit of attention from people I know but I don’t want everyone to know.
I got some very nice cards and a cool book mark, golly I hope it’s a book mark because that’s the purpose I am giving it. It’s perfect for books, because of how it’s shaped. It’s not any other bookmark I have used but it’s is great. I also got a shirt, and a gift card.

Yesterday my husband and I went and watched Paranormal State. I will have to say it wasn’t what I was expecting and would have like a little more to it. It does start out kind of like an episode of Ghost Hunters. I like that show a lot, but that’s neither here or there. In the movie the girl had a hunting, which was demonic in nature. It was something which followed her around from childhood. Not everything in the movie was far fetch some of it was a little far fetch. Some of the video footage was interesting. In the last scene I wonder if they had help from someone like the Plano cosmetic dentist. The girl seemed to have animal teeth weird and not possible.
The movie wasn’t as scary as they claimed, although my husband said it could get into someone mind. I think it might have gotten into his mind. It wasn’t to bad. Someone brought their infant child with them, as a parent I would have never done that, because I think something like this I would wait until my child at least 7 or older and that’s saying they like scary things and won’t get freak out by it. The movie has potentials to freak a young person out.
The most interesting scene to me was the one where the weje board caught fire, and moved on it own. Now I am not sure how possible that is I thought it needed some unwise humans to help it move.

Well I have had my Toshiba for quiet a while, I am still happy with mylaptop. Here are some of the things I have notice it tends to run on the hot side which worries me that it going to burn out quickly. I need to look at buying a new fan for my laptop and make sure it doesn’t over heat.
What am I happy with, I like the way most games on facebook plays nicely and the laptop is fast enough to handle it. I like the fact if I wanted to I could watch a DVD or listen to music from the computer.
What I don’t like about it is how cluttered it was as far as start up programs, and that it runs a little on the hot side. On a scale of 1 to 10 one being the worst and 10 being the best I would rate my lap top a 8.5, the reason why because it runs hot and I still haven’t figure out how to get the computer to start faster then it is now. If I could figure it out I would give it probably a 9 or so. I would recommend this computer to anyone, but I would warn them about a couple of the downsides.

Yesterday after Graduation we decided to go out to lunch, our friend lives in St. Paul we are in Bloomington area, so we decided Highland park Bakersquare would be the best place to go. We had a party of five. We had asked for a table because I normally do not like booths, they set up a table for us, and we where able to order. Our Waiter did a okay job, but there was clearly a couple of miss-communications. Two of use had ordered Cokes, and one other had order Cherry coke, the cokes tasted flat, so we all switch to lemonades and they where are the same types of lemonades. Our waiter handle everything well. I had order the quish pie shop special, hubby got philly crepes, dad wanted the children meal crusher, but got the appetizer with a side of fries, my nephew got the shrimp unclean oh well it’s him eating not use. My friend got a quish also with the pie shop special.
The quish was interesting it was the first time I have ever had one I had the tomato basil with tomato basil soup. Tomato basil soup is my favorite soup. I had not ate all day because of graduation so Bakersquare was the first time I ate, so I am glad their food was enjoyable. Yesterday was one of those days I didn’t feel I might need to look at diet pills to help me, now maybe hubby might want to think about it because he don’t get enough exercise. My husband didn’t eat all of his philly crepes I probably should have asked him if they tasted good he brought it home so it must not be that bad. Man speaking of him he is still a sleep, and I have completed my share of my learning team assignment and work a couple blog post. I wonder how much piece and quite I get before he wakes up.
When it was time to check out our check out person got all confused, and billing was a mess they got made at out waiter for not asking us if we needed the check on a separate bill. I think it was partially our fault to we knew we needed at least 2 separate checks, because my nephew always puts hubby in I in a position where we have to pay for him. I could have told our waiter.
The next problem was being charged for the fries when we thought dad was getting the children meal. We should have communicated with him dad wanted the children meal more clearly. Overall our experience could have been a little better then it was but it was the worst experience ever.
