I have decided that I cannot go through this entire process.
There are too many hurdles to overcome; the language barrier, the cultural differences, the expense, to name just a few.

I swore that after my ex-wife abandoned us, I would never have a relationship with another American girl. I was acting rashly and thought that Russia held the answer. Oh well, live and learn!





One other thing.....









HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!




I hope no is offended (See "My wife left me" thread wink.gif You are all great folks and have been a tremendous help!

Being a 75 year-old man, it was getting more and more expensive for me to find 16 year-old girls willing to do what we called back in the Great War "rolling in the hay." Excuse my profanity, please. Turns out that importing a foreign bride only costs the price of the visa, a forged birth certificate, and a small fee to the human traffickers.

But that's just me.

Nah, you don't suck, you have a wonderful and timely sense of humor, something that must be maintained through the madness of immigration. Myself, that photo of Olga was the reason I got divorced and married a slim beautiful russian girl, coupled with the fact that I fell hopelessly in love with her. Great April Fools joke. Now if you only had the Tiger's headgear, oh that is for birthday boys only!

Thanks for the input. I was very upset after reading her blistering, hateful, and upsetting comment. It seems that some of the non-Russian group folks, who post here (all are welcome by the way) seem to have thin skins, no sense of humor, or both.

I am still so upset over this scathing comment that I might have to hoist two beers today.. one for Kazan's Birthday and one for my hurt feelings! devil.gif

It's going GREAT! I'm currently learning Pitcairnese. It's an easy language to learn, but difficult to communicate in, as it's composed entirely of adverbs. No nouns or verbs or anything else, just adverbs. Also there is only one tense, the "past defective future imperative" tense. The alphabet has 72 characters, all identical.

I'm a little annoyed at "Pleasantly," my fiancee, right now. I keep trying to get her to go get her police certificate but because their language has no nouns all she knows is that she needs "quickly."

Yeah Slim, I thought you would notice that. However, I think Olga is very high maintenance.
Unless you have discount cards for Krispy Kreme, McDonalds, KFC, and many others her monthly maintenance cost could be in the four figure range.
Not to mention how much her Ballet lessons must cost!
