    It's “awesome” that she was able to decode the “sunshine and rainbow!” for it's subtext.

    LMAO! I feel your pain. My mom was so kind as to open my mail when I got accepted into University and check the “single-sex dorm” option in black pen. *sigh*
    And yes, both parents always ask “have you eaten” whenever they call!

    i'm in college right now, and my mom calls me every single day…(which i don't mind, i love her to death). she always asks/says:
    a] have you eaten yet? or…don't forget to eat!
    b] winter is coming back! make sure you wear enough clothes! cover your neck! don't catch a cold!

    lol. fob moms.

  • 420guy

    the have you eaten thing is not relegated to fob's. I am third and fifth gen Canadian and my mom used to ask me the same thing when I was in college, and any time she visited or I visited she took me grocery shopping to make sure I had food. And my dad opened my mail “to make sure it wasn't important” all the time.

    Reebok ZigTech Shoes, like any new sneaker design/tech, are accompanied by a glowing press release that's chock full of questionable locker-room science and athlete endorsements. I know that. I understand Zig Pulse Shoes. I know that these are just Mens ZigTech Shoes, that they're not going to improve my endurance (which, in my case, could consist of "the absense of embarrassment"). I know that my year-old pair of zig pulse women are in perfectly fine condition, thanks to my structured regiment of not exercising, ever, no matter what, and therefore I do not need a new pair of Reebok Easytone Trainers. I know that these sneakers cost $100 and will sit, next to the similarly-unused New Reebok Easytone Shoes, in my closet, and that I should very simply not buy them.Easytone Shoes new ZigTech sneakers are billed as an "energy drink for your feet," which is completely ridiculous, but sort of makes sense since both are an unnatural shade of chartreuse. Lookinng for a great all-around athletic shoe that gives you an extra boost to your workout? Check out Reebok Easy Tone Shoes for an amazing concept that puts more spring in your walk– almost literally. If you are familiar with Bosu, it's a similar techology that forces you to engage balance and core muscles and it works while you walk.The the Cheap Zigtech Shoes is not a shoe for the gym- it's a general walkinng shoe. This shoe features balance pods built into the basic design of the shoe to create what Reebok EasyTone calls a "natural instability" which means your body has to adjust with every step (and every muscle group) to move forward. Much like walking on uneven ground or sand, it works those legs to get them sleek and sexy. Reebok EasyTone Inspire is the first major shoe manufacturer to get into the working Discount Reebok EasyTone– meaning that it works your legs while you walk: toning and triming glutes, hamstrings, calves and more while you walk. These Reebok ZigTech are ventilated and have a sleek aerodynamic look and come in a small collection of colors.

    I like what she said in the end “have you eaten?” to cover up what she had done… Clever, and so Asian!

  • blackjack

    I don’t know how well this would work with asian parents but I solved this problem by shocking them. Order a penis pump or tell your friends to send you greasy homosexual pornography. Answer all admonishment, questions and hysteria by calmly repeating same sentence. Do. Not. Open. My. Mail. Say nothing else.

    Either they get the hint or disown you. If they do that, you’ll be better off without them, trust me.
