Today, I would like to talk about blood types and personalities . http://www.flickr.com/photos/xxxlibris/4466022639/ Recently I came across this article in the link below, “ Japan and blood types - Does it determine personality? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-20170787 When I was in Japan, I often saw people were asking and talking about each other ’s blood types and then talking about their personalities based on it,  more than by horoscope. In the USA, no one seems to care about one’s blood type and I’ve never been asked about my blood type since I came here. I thought it’s only Japan, but according to my husband who lived in Taiwan for three years during his 20’s, he was often asked about his blood type there as well.

Then I was looking for the best dentist in Tucson, AZ,   and found   Dr.Jay Citrin who is receiving 5 stars reviews from many people.    But we didn’t have time to go right away as things got busy since then and my teeth ...

The Beatles are well-known as a famous music group who made one of the biggest impacts ever in world history. My husband Ray has been a big fan of the Beatles since his childhood. ( he’s also a big fan of another British rock group, Queen , as well.)   He remembers the word for “ apple “ in Japanese because it’s pronounced “ Lingo “, and this sound reminds him of the name Ringo, as in “ Ringo” Starr.   At least in my generation, everyone knows all the names of the Beatles members.  And also about their amazing popularity during 1960s to early 1970s.    My husband and I are collectors of our favorite things,  and have many videos or DVDs of our favorite movies, TV shows , figure skating and rock bands, so if we started watching all of them, we may not need regular TV in our free time.  Ray has a box of The Beatles videos which has a set of 8 videos, history of the Beatles, which he purchased a lo...
