Cassie, does that mean that you celebrate your b-day on New Year's day..."you blow out your birthday candles while the rest of the world makes New Year wishes"...or did I read it incorrectly?

ps:I used a wrong的above, correction! it is“地”:-)

So that means I will make a wish silently each time when I blow out the birthday candles.:-D

Finally left the Windy City?

You're going to miss those Portillos hot dogs let me tell you.

All the best in Taiwan.

Hey David, much thanks!!! I have to say, not missing the Portillos dogs too much (yet), but I've been dying for a large, thin-crust, square-cut, pepperoni and mushroom pizza from Bacino's! And I wouldn't be sharing even a miniature piece with anyone here...ha ha.

Please eat some for me. And while you're at it, also go to..........

______________

Cassie, thanks for the clarification...I hope your wishes come true.
