VISA APPROVED

[Jason-Sasha 1]

For us, it was mostly filling out a bunch of tedious forms and waiting.

Speak for yourself, buddy. I rescued my wife from a harsh life of waiting in line for bread, working 14-hour shifts in the tank factory seven-days-a-week, and walking through two meters of snow while being bothered by alcoholics that would try to rape her.

I did her a favor. I should get a medal too. If it wasn't for me and guys like me (not just the guys who did some *whooptidy-freakin-doo* tedious forms) who go over there and literally scoop these girls up off the streets and put them into nice apartments with heat and running water and a stove, then there would be a whole country full of gorgeous women that would have to fend for themselves, never knowing the joy and elation of finally seeing what the inside of Bebe Sport looks like.

Give me a medal? Give me a break. The Nobel prize would be more fitting.

(Oh, and congrats, by the way! Not on the visa, but on getting the tickets changed with no hassles! You should get a medal for that!)

Slim, tell us the truth....you went back in time 30 years to rescue your wife from Siberia didnt you??

Hahaha...... Slim........ you joker. I can almost hear the Molotov cocktails come crashing through your windows now as a sea of patriotic Russian women take up arms after reading your post. Or worse....... maybe your love does a Bobbitt job and "de-helicopters" you in the dead of night. Could happen. More than one German soldier woke up with his you know what missing. Oooooo mannnnnnnnnnnnnn........ I have been out of circulation so long I had to look up your reference to "Bebe Sport" on the internet......... didn't know what it was.

Here we go again-!!!

It's true, and this footage of Slim in a convertable proves it. (and you thought time machines just came in DeLorean's...)

Yesssssss..... one can only imagine the shock and bitter disappointment upon learning that the border guard was not actually a young man.

Hey...are you saying Slim's rotors rotate counter-clockwise?!?!?! Say it aint so!

Hahahaha....Hahahaha!!!

Ah, I see. For a moment I thought maybe they'd even be on the same plane. But I'm pretty sure Sasha's flight is direct from SVO to JFK. Well, its still pretty neat. The same day has great significance for all of us.

Depending on what time Sasha's plane arrives at JFK, they may be hanging out in the VISA processing line together.

True. She gets into NY at about 7:15pm.

OOoops....... too late. Nata and her son leave JFK for Portland at 6:55 pm. Anyway...... a big congratulations and happy reunion at JFK. Are you flying or driving down to Virginia?

Hahaha...... I was talking about Elfin John........ unless Slim tells us differently.

Funny you should ask. I was originally going to drive up to JFK and then drive back the next day. Giving us one night to rest in a hotel. However, after a bit of investigating, I discovered buying 3 tickets was cheaper than the gas and tolls to get there and back. Unbelievable! (1 one way to JFK, 2 one way tickets back to RIC) I've never seen prices this low. I mean 65 bucks per ticket was just too good to pass on. And this cost would have equaled the fee for her extra luggage weight on a domestic ticket, had she needed. Instead, I will fly and arrive in NY an hour before she arrives. I'm going with 2 empty suitcases. Then we can simply split her luggage up and each take 2 cases and her carry-ons. In a way, its like I'm getting to tag along for free really. AND I get to be there when she comes out of customs. She loves long road trips. I drove to NY before to pick her up and we had a great time. So, in a small way, she's bummed that we wont have this long drive. But not me! Saved my truck the trip. I dont have to leave for NY until that evening, as opposed to early morning. Her flight is direct from SVO to JFK. So, we'll both be fairly fresh and alert to better enjoy each other's company on the 1.5 hour flight to Richmond. There were just too many pros to one con. A no brainer. So, to answer your question...I'm flying

You'll find out all about it when she gets here. In actuality, it's probably one of the better stores for her to shop in. It's a bit pricey, but the clothes are very "fashionable" and still feature something most American women's clothing stores do not; shape.

As far as my rotor turning counter-clockwise like Elfin's, I can assure you there's only one direction...wait a minute. I was just talking about fashionable clothes with a nice shape. Oh no.

Well, Eva Longoria is their new model, so ha! Anyone's rotor turning that way would be like, "Eww. Gross. Look how unattractive she is." (There's no way I said any of that! I said, "You would look so good in that, honey!")

EXCELLENT ............ with a deal like that I would be flying to JFK also.

I am truly out-of-touch and pathetic. I had to look up "Eva Longoria" also because I did not know who she was............. but it was a nice lookup though. Hahaha....... did not think that your rotor and the Elf-man's swang in the same way ...... but thanks for the "cute clothes tip" all the same. We will check out Bebe Sport when she gets here.

[eekee 182]

Well the store is called "Bebe," not "Bebe Sport"... but I can definitely see it being popular with Russian women. It's more figure-conscious than regular American clothes. Another store your ladies might like is Arden B., which reminds me of the stores I went to in malls in Russia.

Hey Buck, don't feel TOO bad... I have no clue what a "Bebe Sport" or Eva Longoria" are either!
