T-shirt Time Again

I've decided that T-shirts come in 4 categories here.  
1) They make perfect sense. 
2) The English is correct, but the message is puzzling, or hilarious.
3) The English is correct enough that you can discern a message, but the spacing and spelling are off, sometimes these make sense, sometimes not. 
4) They have random letters of the alphabet and don't make any sense.  
You could also make some sub categories that include copyright infringements or where a stolen message has been altered by spacing or spelling.  Or ones where some words are discernible with other non-words.  But I'll stick with the 4 basic categories.  
My favorite ones by far are category #2.  Enjoy!
This one is a bit hard to read:  "it's time for a love revolurion"
This is one of my favorites.  New York Giants are so big here.  Clear trademark infringements.
Disney is also a big stolen market.
These kinds make me laugh and make me feel like I just don't understand English very well.  It says:

I've seen this one in 3 different stores.

Enthusiasm--The Key To Finding Haprines--Find Our Hanes Someher Else Within--Result Expince
You haven't alreadl--Now is the time to embrace spring's--groundbreaking florals---and me
Dertio--You can'  t have a better---Success is the ability to go from one failture
Grow corn, what is popcor, The sunshine is perfect
Always Strings Bear
One night we were walking along a river and some young girls were singing "Row row ow your boat..." Unlike this t-shirt, they had their words right.
Lick money
Human made--Gears for futuristic teenagers
I should have bought this shirt; I quite liked it.  The bottom says "People who struggle together."  I've always wondered what repast meant.  Now I know! (The image is more correct than the description.) 
Unfluid means not readily converted into cash.  So this t-shirt is fitting for us since we still have yet to see a pay check.....  I should have bought it, I guess!
Reminiscent of quarantining....
Friendship:  Everyone avoid large gatheringsto preven the spread of coronavirus 
Some others we've seen "Daisies of the world unite." "Leisure and Scriptures"  "Playboy" worn by a 50+ woman.  "Beer pear" worn by a child.  Most of the time, I read a classic t-shirt vowing to remember it long enough to write it down and then I forget because there is another one or something else interesting comes up....  Oh well, there will be another one again!  Often the most classic shirts we see on people and not in stores, but I rarely have been brave enough to take pictures of those. Either way, we are constantly entertained.

While We Are Waiting: Temples!

I love the temple.  When I first learned of the possibility of us moving to China in December 2019, one of my first questions was "How can I leave the temple?"  That question was answered in part during the closure of temples in 2020. However, when the joint venture was signed and Tom was officially offered the position in China in November 2020, I began fasting and praying that I would be able to attend the temple just once before we left.  Our original flights were for July 7, 2021 and just a few weeks before that, our temple opened up and miraculously we were able to get 2 appointments for baptisms and 4 other appointments for Tom and I before our departure date.  I can't express my deep gratitude for those 6 precious appointments.  Then when we didn't obtain a visa in time for those flights and access to nearby temples was given, I took up a new hobby.  Temple scheduling.  The girls teased me it was a bit of an obsessed hobby; but since we will go ...

An Accomplishment!

 The process: Cut the recipe in half so that the bread will fit in your teensy tinsy oven. Convert everything to metric--- ingredient amounts and water temperature. Get your purified water to the right temperature. Measure ingredients out. Mix it up.  Humidity changes things.... Hope you did it right. Shape and let rise. Convert oven temperature to Celsius. My little oven heats up nicely, but you get to guess when it is preheated. Notice there are no smoke alarms in your kitchen. Hmm.   Decrease the cook time and cross your fingers that is right.  Add a cooking thermometer to the shopping list. Let it cool for a long time because you only have a small serrated knife for cutting it. Slice and eat.  It probably could have tasted pretty awful and we would have thought that bit of home tasted very delightful!  But it was quite good! Needs a little more salt, but that is an easy adjustment.   And it could have been crustier, but we're at a point o...

Medical Check Ups -- China Style

 I knew our medical check up would be extraordinarily different from what I could ever imagine, and recognizing that, I thought I was prepared for anything. I was wrong. Very wrong.  I could have never dreamed up what was. We had to drive 45 minutes to the medical center for foreigners.  Yet we were the only foreigners.  Stella explained that it was also for international travelers. For such limited traveling allowed, it was sure packed. Tom asked a couple of people where they were traveling to and they said they weren't traveling.  So we don't know why there was such a crowd.  In the back of my heart, I was slightly hoping that since it was for foreigners that it might feel less foreign.  Wishful thinking. Note to self:  don't ever ever hope for things to not be foreign. We first registered.  It only took about 15 minutes.  For us, that is lickety split.  We got print outs with the work we needed done: "Blood taking, x-ray, urine s...
