发帖数: 953 | 1 Thanks, Imore. But the coils from duncan are so ugly. It looks they nail the
boards to the case frame to build the cased coil. Is it having anyh chance
to clean the inside like other good brands by removing one piece of board?
The A/C company came to the house and said the old one was actually not
installed correctly: there are a lot of air leaking at the gap created
between the coil case and the furnace case. Thanks again.
But it not my house.

Chinese drywall causes a stench.Drywall imported from China last decade, and
installed in an estimated 100,000 homes in the U.S., turned out to be a
stinker.
Result: It emitted sulfurous gas that gave off a rotten egg smell and
corroded wiring, air conditioning units, and electronic appliances. It also
caused homeowners to be sick. |

I planted some vegetables in my backyard this spring: watermelon, cantaloupe,

rotten butts that I had to dump them into compost bin.
Tomato is small, tastes not sweet. Fortunately, I get some cantaloupe. Even
though they are not as sweet as the ones sold in store. But they look yellow.
Rabbits came to bite some of them. So I have to throw the... 阅读全帖 |

冷水完全闻不出来，热水很明显，在网上查了查，原来以为是热水器的问题，换了热水

请问这是怎么回事，问题在井里，需要shake well。还是管道或热水器的问题？
哪位有经验，请指点一下，以后怎么避免的，能不能加个什么filter，还是以后每年

拍砖和咒骂的人，你们扪心自问如果让你们负担几十万的医疗费用，你们还会那么“孝
顺”吗？至少我老公自从出国后，十几年每月都往家寄钱。婆婆和公公退休后的生活支
出主要靠我老公，从没向老公弟弟要过一分钱。 把婆婆来美国照看小孩，也是由于公
公刚过世，怕她一个人在国内孤独。就算她决定在国内养老，我们也会给她安排最好的
条件。
发帖的目的是听听有经验的人的建议， 怎么安排让老人和孩子得到最好的照顾，并且
不会让我们经济负担过重。 那些道德圣人和愤青们，自可原话收回。 |

good. Those teeth were formed before she was born. Nothing anyone can do.

发帖数: 6126 | 42 单单工会其实不是问题
如果我没记错，芬兰的教师也是有工会的，差别在于在芬兰要当老师要求很高
能当上老师的那都是精英，水平摆在那里，给老师多自主权和保护就挺合理
美国的问题是当老师的门槛太低了，这样低的门槛，就必须要有监督机制
要能分辨好老师和差老师，要不然人性懒惰就摆在那里
鱼龙混杂的人群工会再一保护，当然有问题
就跟社会保障制度类似 |
