:< China does have cheap labour. BUT their quality and etiquette is terrifying.

A lot of the factories where I live are well-paid, but you have to apply for work-aid and then be put on a list to even be considered.

I've been working at a retail store for almost 5 years. I basically dragged myself to a better position, by force of will.

what is work aid?

wanders in
looks for Damia

I don't see the ball and chain?

wanders off

ball and chain? What are you two into? O_O

ball and chain is a reference to a wedding ring. he's looking for the wife XD

what is this work aid and how do I get in on that?

unfortunately meave the companies only care about them being cheap

How is that a reference to wedding ring?

Because once you are married you are in a sense stuck with them. can't do as much and other such things. they are commonly referred to as caged birds. restricted from flying free. like a prisoner. hence a ball and chain

... that makes the whole marriage thing undesirable...

For some it is. But that's what "Commitment" is... you just have to make sure the person you pick isn't crazy

I'm not sure if i'm the crazy one or hubby in my marriage. lol

I wonder what happens when it's both?

Hmmm they end up like us? I dunno.

How is llonkaka and hubby?

Now I'm thinking about once upon a time, lol. xD

I don't understand.

That's a tv show. xD Happy endings or not getting them play a big role there.

I see... what is it about?

Well, it's basically about Evil Queen who cast a curse on inhabitants of enchanted forest and sent them to our land where there is no magic, trapped in city and time, not remember who they are and always lacking what they need to be happy, like splitting up true love couples. And then there's savior who arrives, stirs up a lot of things while she doesn't even believe in magic and it's actually quite interesting, although there are plot holes and all.

And there is a LOT more going on than just that, especially after season 2. XD Like, the plot really goes forward.

Interesting... reminds me of when the looney tunes came to this world except not...

Yeah, it's kind of good, kind of facepalmy, but I like it. :) There's great amount of sass and the cracks are great. That's what got me into it in the first place.

Ah. I don't really watch TV so I mostly just hear about it on here

I don't watch TV as in TV either, I watch online. I don't even have TV and a lot of shows don't make it to my country. Besides the translations and voice overs are CRAP.

The voice translators here suck too, specifically with anime
