Maybe. But the more exausting part is trying to put on paper every single word. Without that this task is senseless - as I usually get a general meaning of any news article that I hear as it is. But to understand everething is my really my goal... And you haven't read Iris Murdoch? OK, I...

You are right. But... Some people just wouldn't educate. They cannot stop believing in a free fortune which will somehow drop before them, so every little sleazy thing is much dearer to them then friends or relatives explaining them reality.

As to us, Russians, our problem is we were taught for many years to believe our authorities, our massmedia etc. (Of course there were those who believed and those who didn't, but the majoruty believed). Then our Socialism ended, and we were told by those who became our authorities that now we...

Yep, that's really too bad, but how to help such people is beyond me. I've tried several times, really, but sometimes the person thinks it's you who want to cheat, or that you do not want he/she to succeed because of envy etc... I heard only the other day that our Mr. Kovalev - a wellknown...

Errr... You see, it is much better here right now than it had been before, but just the same some things are still like your "Wild West" back then. The people who did it are surely illigitimate, and I am sure they send hundred thousand of such offers, and it is possible that 5 or 10 people will...

Sergo is Ogres bakwards. The simplest one, I think. No hidden things.

Exactly. BTW, yesterday I got an offer in my mail - to buy a Pioneer Plasma Panel, which regularly costs $5500 here, for $3200. They say it is from a lot confiscated by our customs. OK, now I call them. Everything OK, but to have a proof that I will really get the Pioneer they want me to...

Hi KristoCat! Please forgive my foolishness, but until I looked at your profile I thought you were a girl? Sorry again, I didn't mean to be rude...

Hi, Acolyte! You seem to be quite a serious person. How many jumps you did so far?

Thanks, we had it opened yesterday from my wife's comp at home...

Yep, that's a good idea. "See that big guy with a broad smile and a blonde on his elbow? I'll be damned if I hadn't seen him in the Zoo last week..." I think sometimes that there are some beasts between us really. But not the big wild bears, though - beasts of much smaller and sleazier...

Yep, exactly. And as I do not have much practice speaking and listening English - that's my biggest problem. Two or three years ago I've tried to record some news from BBC and CNN and then repeatedly listen to them until I could write everything down to the last word. I think that helped some...

I agree with many opinions here. I liked what Novella and Kookamour said. As to my own impression... Hey, Moto, there were at least one like you on every Russian forum I visited. But I think you are slightly more intelligent than our average "troublemaker". Really, I cannot see as trouble all...

Yes, I think they looks great, especially when all my piece of land is covered with a yellow or a white blanket... But a lawn looks much more tidy, it is much easier to care after than a field of dandelions, alas... And if not to suppress these dandelions, - it would be impossible to have even a...

Oh-oh-oh. Too bad. Maybe I should take some courses too? You are both right and wrong. This software I've mentioned is just great, it is Russian and it is very secured against unauthorised use. It costs about $150 and that's a good price, as with it in a pocketbook one couldn't be lost in...

Really, we have a new girl admitted to my daughter's class, who has most of her visible skin covered with tattooes, and these metal things dangling from every imaginable place... Uffff... They say she is a good pupil. I hope so.

Ohhh... That's our problem too. I would not like to say NO, but I do not like her to wear these metal things in her nose, tongue or other... So far she listened to reason...

My daughter does that too, but with not so radical colors mostly. (Really she tryed pink once, and... I hadn't realised it immediately... She reminds me about that once a month at least...)

Ha, I thought if I should have mentioned that situation, and decided against it... :) Oh, so am I - that's my wife who sometimes tells me about my grey hairs. (She has more, though she's 7 years younger) I do not notice them. But I am surely not ashamed or trying to conceal the fact I am...
