present the loving spouse with on the year happy marriage?

i have found thousands of acquaintances sites with the
Russians through the search...and whrever I registed - I've
become a real professional!
But- I've found where it's possible to get
acquainted with a real Russian lady Online Dating site-
1000lovers.com(i tell about all my friends-no expensive but

woman with me)
Maybe, somebody

Great thread!

I recommend a White Malamute. All Russian ladies should have one.

I don't like Russian ladies. I find them to be cold and distant.

But do you like White Russians?

*cry* I'm not cold and distant!

I know.

Most definitely not.

Hey everybody! (And especially Tony.) I met Paige at Pauls book signing in LA. She's warm, friendly, engaging, (a bit quiet at the restaurant as she hadn't met anybody else there) and she has a lovely smile.

Her family is from the Ukraine -- the "bread basket" of Russia.

All the Eastern European people I've met and come to know over the years -- not just Russians, but Eastern Europeans in general -- beginning with a boy I knew whose family escaped from Hungary during the 1956 Revolution (we were in 5th-grade together, and I helped him learn English) . . . were good, warm, friendly people.

Stereotypes are so stupid.

and, all he gets is gab about how Russian people act! Sheesh!
A thoughtful gift would combine aspects of Russia with aspects of America, the old and the new. Hmmmm!

Most women appreciate jewelry, so you could visit a lapidary and get some stones from Russia (there are agates and others that are found only in Russia and are not expensive, I have a bolo tie made out of one) and have them made by an American artisan into a pendant necklace with matching earrings or a bracelet and matching ring (some feature a chain between the ring and bracelet, so neither gets lost at the same time . I've had a rhodocrosite (sic) brooch made with gold-washed silver, it was not too expensive and looked great.

Or, you could take the opposite tack. Get some American tourquoise and have it set in an antique, vintage Russian silver setting. Start visiting some jewelry stores that are owned by artists, not the chains in the malls. They are very creative and helpful.

Either way, she'll wear it forever and it may become an heirloom!

Das vedanya!

I think it was some sort of spam Joe. He(?) made that post at 5:14 AM on October 27th. He(?) signed off at 5:15 AM, and has never come back.

Speaking of jewelry . . . and Russia . . . have you ever seen Alexandrite?

It's a semi-precious gem named after Czar Alexander II. It's unusual in that it is green in sunlight, and a sort of reddish purple in artificial light . . . beautiful! My wife had a ring with a large Alexandrite stone as its center.
