how much will it cost me to send some vitamins (appx. total 400-500g) from US to Taiwan? Thank you

1) A person who charge you money in exchange of their time. Eg. you pay them $10/hour and you could ask them to do anything like walk your dog, do your laundry, house cleaning, grocery shopping, pick up your kids, go to the post office, buy movie ticket, etc.. Can we call it "valet service"?

2) A person who studies at the same school with you but one grade higher/lower than you.i.e. you are in Grade 4, he/she is in Grade 3. Can we call them "school brother/sister"?

Thank you

Would it be too much a load for their digestive system? (since cake is oily and stuff..) Thank you.

Thank you.

I invested with Lehman Brothers through a local bank here, currently they open a-week-time chance for customers to get back ~10% of the invested amount (in my case it's about $2500). If I don't get it back now, I have to wait till their bankruptcy protection is due (2009 Jan), by that time depending on situations, we might get back more than 10% or worst case is all our money gone!!

Should I be conservative and get back my $2K now or there is a chance that some financial institutions is going to rescue Lehman Brothers?

Thank you.

My baby girl is on Nestle NAN HA 1, but my nanny and mother in law keep saying than Hydrolyzed milk is bad for baby's kidney, and urge me to change formula. Is it true? How do I know if the formula is suitable for my baby? Because she develops some red rashes on her face and sometimes cries during feeding time, I wonder if it's formula-related or there are other reasons?

Thank you in advance!

She has low self esteem, insecure and constantly in need of love assurance. When I'm not in the mood for sex, do not hug her, do not give her a kiss, do not tell her that I love her (well, I'm just not the romantic kind of man), she'll assume that I don't love/need her and won't speak to me whole day. When things are over, she realizes her problem, but every now and then it repeats. HELP!! What could we do to improve the situation? Thanks!

Da Si / Tao Yuan areas, please.

Thank you.

I have heard that the bottled essence of chicken (eg. Brand's, or any other brands) is not healthy because:

1) They are processed from hormone and chemicals-injected chicken

2) They are of very high protein content thus giving your liver a hard work and worsen its condition and general health.

Is it correct? Does that mean we should not drink it at all or there are some conditions when we could drink?

How long did the procedures take? Have submitted all necessary documents and went to the interview session early this month. But since then, haven't heard a thing from the Taiwan Representative Office here. The wedding is due in Taiwan in a month and haven't got passport back. Is it normal or I am worrying too much?

I came across an ancient Chinese formula that show if one would give birth to a boy or girl, by knowing the mother's age and what month she conceives the baby. I've checked it against my mom's case and so far it proves to be quite accurate. For example my mom was 30 years old when she conceived me (girl) in April, and the formula (table) shows "girl", again my brother was born in Oct, so my mom (who was 32 years old then) conceived him around Jan, the table shows "boy". I'm so fascinated that I would like to test it further. Would be thankful if you would tell me your age and month (when you conceive) and what gender your baby is.

P.S. maybe this should be in the "Polls & Surveys" section, but I thought I would find my target responders here more. Thanks!

Getting married this year but only plan to have kid next year, so there would be at least half a year birth control measures. Would it be harder to conceive then? and what would be a better way of prevention? (husband suggested condom rather than pills). Would like to know your advices. Thanks.
