ScratchIt

I know you are not going to find exactly what you are looking for, but here's something that might lead you into the right direction:

eBay link

If you find how these things are called here in US, then it'd be much easier to find them. I googled them for about 15 mins and didn't come up with anything concrete.

Yes these are close and I bet the company could make a custom lot of exactly what I'm looking for. But geez, did you see the prices on those things! Well it is a step in the right direction. As to what they are called in English, I did a translation on "горшочков" on Google and it translates as "pot", guess how far that got me on an internet search.

Thanks for the help.

Yard sale in a Russian, Ukrainian, Polish neighborhood. Glass auction, estate sale in same neighborhood. Resale shops..

Yes, I thought about that but no Russian neighborhoods where we live. I guess in a sense, we are the Russian neighborhood! Maybe next time we make it to Atlanta we can look around.

My wife mentioned something about an international sales website out of NYC "NY best buy?" but we couldn't find the website.

I know what you mean about being told to find them. I've been told all kinds of things that would be seemingly easy enough for her to do herself yet for whatever reason, she's incapable of getting it done. "Because you husband and you must take care of wife."

:thumbs:

I do some searching on your info. Thanks

I hope the White House does the right thing and honors the bravery of this serviceman.

I hope they do it, if facts dictate, and do it because it is justified and not for a political feather. To do otherwise would severely diminish the reputation of the award and be a disgrace to those who have earned the medal in the past and those who earn it in the future.

Note: Not sure how much the WH has to do with it besides presenting the medal...

There are two distinct protocols for awarding the Medal of Honor. The first and most common is nomination by a service member in the chain of command, followed by approval at each level of command. The other method is nomination by a member of Congress (generally at the request of a constituent) and approval by a special act of Congress. In either case, the Medal of Honor is presented by the President on behalf of the Congress.

Something like this maybe?

There should be some medals only given to people who die in combat or deceased combatants. And there should be medels for those who show valor, courage, etc and live to tell about it over a pint, also.

Who is the greater hero? The Forrest Gump type that saves his buddies but takes a bullet in the head and dies on the spot or the same guy who takes one in the neck leaving him a quadriplegic for life?

Why not just drive? Or train? Is it worth it to spend an hour going through security and waiting at baggage claim for an hour in the air?

Because the drive from Dublin to London is a very wet trip.

OK... It didn't work out. She apparently had a change of heart after she got her Visa. Does this make it harder for me the next time I apply for another K1 Visa.... and how long will I have to wait until I can apply again?

Thank you...

What an amazing story! You must be devistated. I would give it a month of mourning before trying agian.

Keith Olbermann is a hyper partisan moron. Listening to anything he says is like listening to Limbaugh. Same deal, just the other side of the coin.

It wasn't about Keith Olbermann - it was about the bimbette thinking a news anchor is just like being President.

What's so funny is these dinosaurs from the 50's spend all their lives worshipping a guy who was born of a virgin, but they find it's irrefutable evidence of sex for teacher to be pregnant.

Seems their imaginations can only be stretched once.

What did the school governors in galilee say ? Wish I had been a fly on the wall in that meeting. "Don't gimme that Mary, you insult our intelligence by insisting you are a virgin"

Admit it - it's was that old guy with the beard wasn't it ?

:thumbs:

Out of curiousity, why the 50's? The dude that runs the school looks to be in his 30's, early 40's maybe.

So this is what they teach in Oklahoma !

It ain't for lack of trying!

Well I guess that is some what better than the current president who thinks he is GOD

You win!

Grant was president...can't go much higher.

Bush was the hand of God - is that any higher?

Paul, you are the pot calling the kettle black. Read artlcie 88.

Uh oh... there is one of theose "hackneyed" expressions again

Your ignorance here is astounding as well.

He needs to be canned?

Think about his position and what he does/has to do, then think of the consequences of replacing him with someone else.

During my time in the military there were occassions for the media to visit and ask questions at our base on a variety of subjects. The speed at which my career might have been over had I ever dared to say something like "I could do a better job here if my commanding officer wasn't such a wimp" probably could have been measured with an egg timer. The military operates entirely differently than the civilian world and even have their own code of military justice. Freedom of speech - hah! Enlist and give it a try.

As a General, he is expected to have the good sense not to say such things to the media. His doing so brings his character into question. Don't know if i would call for his head but it sounds like the guy needs a break from the battlefront.

My point is, who are you going to listen to? Some crackpot team of attorneys/bankers in the White House, or a distinguished General who sees what's going on day in and day out?

So the best President would be a retired 5 star who was the CEO of a major financial institution while moonlighting on the side as the chief engineer at Shell Oil who is married to a foreign born immigrant. Good luck.

The idea that by physically being in the US at the time of conception automatically authorizes a non-USC female to be eligible for citizenship is utterly false. What it does mean is now there is a baby in the picture with only a chance of immigration being authorized. I can't speak for the USCIS but if she's going to have your baby it would likely mean the world to her if you were there. Good luck on your journey.

p.s. Go smack your friend upside his head for all of us! Advise like what he has suggested to you causes lots of problems.

Another lame humor concept thread that quickly descended into posters going for each others throats.

The thread is now joins the dead head thread list.

Tah Dah!!!

And here you are. Pot meet kettle.

So you are on the east coast then. Don't bloody tell me you are from Florida.

Well I was working on the list you requested because for once you said something that was worthy of serious reply, but this seems like more fun. Maybe I took a late lunch, maybe I took an early lunch. Since you fancy yourself a Columbo protégée I'll let you waste your time trying to figure it out.

I am curious though, since all of these guys posted above are dead heads, perhaps you can enlighten me with whom you consider to be a champ - in your book. I know, I know, that would mean you having to be serious for a change. Surely someone of your intelligence can do that every now and then. That is, lower your supreme knowledge to my peanut/ bigoted / racist level.

I'm out the door for lunch but let me give it some thought and I'll get back you shortly.

Pull your head out and take a look around. Maybe you'll see the next one.

The reason is quite simple actually, as much like pike, you two both come here with this sanctimonious attitude and the evident belief you are smarter than most. Then proceed to cut down or mock people you disagree with; never quite explaining why you disagree but more importantly state that they are just wrong, racist etc etc etc. Therefore, one is naturally curious how and why you are so smart, furthermore, whether you can back this apparent intelligence up.

My "prowess" is that I don't hide in secrecy yet make jabs at others or about others. I am not the one with this 'God I am so smart and you are dumb demeanor, furthermore, couldn't give a rats azz if I was banned, so suck it'.

Set your watch to this... you are delusional. The above describes you to a "T". This thread was started merely as an entertainment. No right or wrong, just a few laughs. You took the turn with us Miss Daisy!

No that is what you do pike. It's why most of us on here that are not a bosom buddy of yours, can count on one hand the number of times you have posted something genuine that involves your opinion alone and not rebutting some else. Tell me when I enter a thread and tell people they are dumb or don't know what they are talking about and then leave? Let alone for a few weeks.

You two do have a lot in common though. You are both extremely good at witty comments and a quiet guarded (stay anonymous) about your real life. Scratchit is step ahead of you though, as they at least say they couldn't care less about some forum, insinuating the have this awesome life out there, but coincidentally enough most know absolutely little to nothing about them. Heck, I don't think most know if they are male or female.

Male or female? Hell, you seem to think I'm a "they". Why the fascination with my personal life? What difference does it make to you? What claims to "awesome life" have I ever made? Your statement that "most know absolutely little to nothing about them" is based on what piece of factual information that you possess? Your only prowess remains your ability to constantly put words into others mouths.

He's an Aussie - that makes it OK 'cause he's better than everyone else.

Is that not the point? You seldom know what someone is talking about, yet enjoy getting smart about something - anything really.

Probably time for you to run off [again] and then come back in a few weeks ready for a battle; followed by stating you don't care if you get banned yada yada yada. Which begs the question, why not just close your account and leave?

I guess I just didn't realize how ignorant you really are. The comment about hitting the nerve was directed at you. It has nothing to do with any other post. I made no statements about fearing getting banned or caring about such. As to why I don't close my account; I like to keep it open so that whenever I feel I've done something I think is unbelievably stupid, I can come here and read your latest nonsense and feel good about myself again. Works every time. It's like therapy.
