Click on the top right 'Edit my membership',you will see the box 'unsubscribe' at the bottom. http://groups.google.com/group/eslpodcast/subscribe Click on it,and it's done!:( Charles,it's sad but you had a point there that people generally judge a book by its cover... Why do you think a lot of men in some countries grow beards?:) One of the reasons is to hide their younger age. Jun,if she's that easily jealous,...which I doubt it...get rid of her! Or maybe I should ask her to get rid of you!LOL Sorry,merely joking,of course! Oshiro,now you're confusing me! You're 28,but wish to claim 1 year younger if you would ever go to China...just to achieve the opposite! Am I right or wrong?:( One news to break to you all interested in Skype group talks. My husband's Asian trip is cancelled,and I won't be able to join you on the weekend night talks. As long as it's day time during the week days,it'll be better for me. Let me check my schedule first and I'll get back to you on the precise day and time ASAP!:( Great week ahead and good night!
