Philip,

by the way how are the plans proceeding for your move here?

The two types of arthritis I know of is osteo arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. One is caused from an injury to the joint and the other is more of an ageing one. I have had a couple joint injuries to my right arm from my employment. (RMS) 1989 I had a bone scan done and the specialist said I had both types of arthuritis. Rheumatoid arthuritis was only just starting in my right rotator cuff (shoulder) and osteo arthuritis was in my right elbow and wrist. I was 32 years old. Glucosamine is the best result I have so far. I would never use WD-40 on my joints. Keep that stuff for the machinery and working on your car/truck.

As a little trivia about petrochemicals, did you know asprin was made from crude oil? Check out the Modern Marvels episode called Secrets of Crude.

If you want I can get my dad to give you his opinion on this using of WD-40 on joints. He is a doctor. He will just say to rub some horse linament on the joint.

Asprin originally came from white willow bark.

But yes most modern drugs have their feed stock based on petrochemicals, typically benzene or methane

Hi Ted,
I have sold about £200 worth of stuff on EBay. I have just taken a carload of stuff, books, tools, games, etc. to my house in France. Built my stone wall a little higher, using lime mortar. My Dad came with me, helped cut the grass in my field before it becomes a jungle.
I will sell my car soon. Then I have hired a van to take the rest of my stuff to France in July.
My new employers in Hong Kong have asked me for many papers. References from more than 10 years, medical certificate, chest x-ray, police check, working visa application. They have most of the documents now. I fly out on July 29th. When I arrive my employers will put me up in temporary accommodation for up to 2 months while I find an apartment.
My wife and I are very much in love. It is hard being apart. She still has many insecurities, but they seem to lessen as the weeks go by. I first wrote to her just over a year ago, and she is only now beginning to believe that I will never leave her, that my family will accept her, that she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with.

Hello Philip,

well it seems as though everything is proceeding along quite well for you. thats good to hear. i am sure that after your here
for a couple of years you will probably want to stay on here or maybe on the mainland. you will by then have quite a foundation
layed for securing a really decent position on the mainland were your money will go quite farther compared to Hong Kong. but its
all a matter of personal tastes. i like the mainland because my money goes farther than Hong Kong but thats my personal taste as
i really dont want to work full time. 35 years of corporate culture in the USA has left me with the desire to just want to take it easy
now which is what i am doing here. although Guangzhou is really starting to get pricey so maybe the next step might be going to
Guilin which is rich in scenery and a little cheaper but doesnt have all the different emenities like Hong Kong or Guangzhou. well
whenever you get a break and want to go away Guangzhou is a short distance and Sara and I would enjoy meeting the two of you
and showing you around here. best of luck with the remaining parts you need to do before you leave. ede

Ted
