Derek & Rita

Whatever flight she is taking from UA, the flight attendents or her fellow travellers will be able to help. She is not in a vacuum and is not the first to undertake this travel.

Uh, every woman is different. If she ain't loose enough for you now, I doubt that will change coming here.

Sounds like you're doing well to me - don't let someone's 'fml' mindset and negativity make you think otherwise. Some people just have a tendency to assume they know better than anyone, about anything, all the time.
I'm sure that once your wife moves to the US, especially given that you guys will be teaching your daughter two languages, you'll be surprised when you notice yourself learning something or other in the process too, same for your wife I bet.

You ever considered the notion that they feel they've 'done quite well' because nobody corrects them?
Such as your 'spasiba bolshoy' or 'dorbre ootra' - which you are trying to pass off as a transliteration issue, but in reality, you have no idea what declensions or conjugations are, clearly. Why? Because most likely, all you've done is repeat phrases you've heard; yet you never really bothered to take a look at the grammatical aspect for one reason or other, in turn, you make yourself look ridiculous when you're trying to argue in a debate such as this.
Nobody ever disputed the importance of culture immersion. So what's the rant for?
I must note - all you ever seem to do, is spew negative feedback at everybody and anybody. What's up with that, slim?

Well, so far she's not the type of person to get so mad as to punish herself by sleeping alone.

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_of_the_Fatherland_Day
Officially, as the name suggests, the holiday celebrates people who are serving or were serving the Russian Armed Forces (both men and women), but unofficially, nationally it has also more recently come to include the celebration of men as a whole, and to act as a counterpart of International Women's Day on March 8.
The holiday is celebrated with parades and processions in honor of veterans, and women also give small gifts to the Russian men in their lives, especially husbands (or boyfriends), fathers and sons. As a part of the workplace culture, women often give gifts to their male co-workers. Consequently, in colloquial usage, the holiday is often referred to as Men's Day (Russian: День Мужчин, Den' Muzhchin).
And from the russian version: http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C_%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B0_%D0%9E%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B0
Сегодня 23 февраля в России является неформальным народным праздником мужчин, который празднуется как коллегами в своих коллективах, так и в семьях, и носит массовый характер. В этот день поздравляют также и женщин — ветеранов Великой Отечественной войны, женщин — военнослужащих.
So, yes, traditionally and officially it has been the 'Russian Army Men Day' but it's grown to become more than that to a celebration of all men. Just as Christmas became about buying presents and celebrating family more than celebrating the birth of Jesus.

"are you even sure" ? Yes, I am sure it's my kid.
"five day sex party" ? I've been there so many times i'm running out of pages in my passport.
"sometimes the girl's not even pregnant" ? She was pregnant, I was there and felt the baby kicking in her belly. It's her baby.
"can i assume"? You can assume whatever you want that makes you happy. I understand that my story is different from most.
"disregard what I'm saying". Good advice, I think I will.

woohoo! 11/29 at 7:50pm my little daughter was born in Moscow. 7 lbs, 3 oz (3.2kg) and 20 inches (51cm). I'm a first time father and I'm very happy about it!!!
Anyway, now we have to figure out this dual citizenship thing. I'm going there next month (Dec. 20th) to get this foreign registration of birth thing and probably a passport as well.
Just thought I'd share the good news. If anyone has done the foreign registration of birth in russia, I'd be glad to listen to any advice you can give!
thanks!
