Kara nods, "I wasn't going to ask.  It's just, I really don't fit in here.  I don't know any chinese beyond what few words I learned from my Tai Chi classes.  Anyway, I would also like to mention that, while it's not any kind of serious thing there are a few parts that might need to be replaced some time.  I mean they're not broken, just worn a little so we have time to replace them.  I have a list if you want them."
