Киты --- не нация. Провокация не удалась.

Hey, y'all have your opinion, and I have mine. To each his own. Live with it!

OK, I asked my brother to look for a copy in Wash DC, a late birthday present . I'll keep you posted.

Svetlana and Yulia look good with the colored legs !

Well, I got my copy in the mail. Haven't had time to read it yet, but skimmed through it and it looked interesting. Nice, big pictures and what seems to be intersting articles with some Russian words here and there... Even a pictionary of food you can buy on a train! The recipe for Golubtsy might come in handy too! All in all, worth the 5 dollars I had to pay for it and shipping... I bought it off their web site

Tells us about the most interesting things when read.

Well, this article was sort of funny.

What we Americans consider "folk" medicine is alive and well in Russia. I have devised several self protection ploys to save myself from well meaning relatives armed with cures and treatments (just the thought of some of these scares the illness right out of me!). Most families have on hand; mustard plasters to burn the skin off your chest if you catch a cold, a set of small jars for cupping, iodine to be gargled for sore throat or poured on any cut for any reason(also used for soaking bruised body parts), a bright bluegreen paint/cream that is applied to bug bites and cuts (even on the face and neck), raw garlic is eaten as protection against grip, honey and honey comb are eaten as both prophalaxis and cure for everything, hot compresses and multiple warm wraps are applied to the neck and throat to cure sore throat (gorla) and sore neck (shea) which are considered illnesses and not symptoms, and various creams made out of bee's byproducts which are used to cure just about everything. Of course the all time favorite cure is red pepper vodka which actually does make you feel better !

Вот когда человек говорит - "Я не люблю тех-то, поэтому давайте их убивать" - это уже пропаганда и призывы к насилию, розни и т.д. - это нужно фильтровать. Если корректно - то charlestonian может говорить о своих "убеждениях"

Thank you.

I bet if they shave their legs and their backs, they will look even better!
