Gran Torino

Tags:

I watched four movies this week in airplanes; The Time Traveler’s Wife, District 9, All About Steve & Love Happens.

Two of those movies were pretty good. You can guess which ones I liked.

None of them were any good compared with the movie I saw tonight – Gran Torino.

Translation of the week

TAGS: None

I recently purchased some hot water bags to use at the cabin on cold nights. I know it sounds like something that your elderly aunt, the one with the kleenex in her sleeves, might do. I became a hot water bottle convert on my first trip to India, when I visited DarJeeling. I could see my breath in the room at night and I learned first hand how nice it was to sleep with a toasty warm, hot water bottle.

Here are the instructions printed on the package – I am not making any of this up.

Rubber Heat Water Bag

Direction

  1. Heat water bag is used in medical treatment health and common live to get warm.
  2. The water temperature that the heat water bag should be around 90C. The water should not be over 2/3 than the capacity of the heat water bag.
  3. After filling water, must let the air in the heat water bag out and let the screw tight. Check if there is water leak phenomenon.
  4. When baby use the heat water bag, should let the heat water bag a little far from baby.
  5. When the heat water bag is used or storage must avert it to be weight on or stabed, not touch sour, alkali, oil and sunlight shoot.
  6. Storage heat water bag should fill a little air inside, Put it in shady environment.
  7. The dirt on the heat water bag can be washed by soap water than use water wash it clean.
  8. The heat water bag should not be put in the display window so long time, especially the display window in the sunlight shoot.
