Listen snipe, you cruised the Med, I wouldn't call that all around the world. Unless you advise me on what ship you were on. Tell me the Countries you visited Impress me. See it's guys like you who have come here under another name and tried to disrupt what for many guys is a serious proposition. You can have your opinion that's not a problem, but when it's idiotic it will be called out. You are a newbie in this game and you need to get your mind right or you will be another guy that will come back from getting kicked to the curb and blame the women. You already tried that once.
Second learn to Use the Palm Treo then your grammar won't be so bad. Also what is it with you guys who have to drop money amounts like it impresses anyone???? If you've been all over the world you sure don't act like it or either you didn't learn a damn thing in your travels.
BK,
You seem to think that you know it all, that you know people, for being in the military? Well I came out of the military at a pretty young age, perhaps thinking I knew a lot, and then I realised that I had to start learning all over again, guys that come out of the military at an older age can only find it more difficult to adjust to civvie street!
nasfan,
I'm not sure the name/type of floating vessel is necessarily relevant, and I'm laughing about this, between England and France we have flat bottom cross channel ferries, normal journey distance perhaps 22-50 miles, well I worked with a guy previously who in circa 1982 had travelled UK to Falkland Islands on one of these things, as the bow went up the puke and the clatter of the empty beer cans rolled to the stern and as the bow went down it/they all rolled back again and this went on day after day, week after week, amazing how far one can get on a cross (English) channel ferry :)
Thinking about it,
Do we have any naval military personnel here who might currently be on a warship somewhere between Christmas Island and Australia who might have a requirement for some gunnery practice?
I am 58 and have been emailing, talking on the phone and have visited this girl twice in the Kiev, and am applying for a fiancee visa. Its TRUE sometimes, but you must meet the girl, family anf friends to make sure everyone is in agreemnt. Then it works....TC
I was only on a ship for my first year and a half. Besides that I was in these different countries adapting to there country and about the job its nothing I care to talk about on a public forum but lets just say it was enough to get me out half way towards my retirement. I am positive I dont know it all, and never will until the day I die, but as a job I had to know people and what sucks is that everything anyone says, does, or in this case write I analyze, break it down, I wish and I hope I can go back to the days about being blissfully unaware of people and whats going on around me. I know myself to and its scary, and found out how people act through chemistry passed from father to son or mother, whether you were ever raised or even know them your mannerisms are passed down.
Give me a year hopefully and I will be turned off from this Martin, maybe three tops according to friends.
Put all that aside I know that being rude and acting like you know it all because you been on this forum for ages doesn mean a thing. You guys always here the "stories" but all the sucess stories you dont hear about because the happy ones dont come to this forum ;-) Every one of you at one point been through the bad end of this deal and here you are. I am not saying I know nasfan but from his writing I know just a little more than he would like. I dont like it and the training that came with it is something I wish I could change.
That is excellent that young girl found an older man, it does happen. With the advent of internet it opens a much wider scope on two peoples compatablitly and age if the chemistry is just right does not matter, in are heads it does not make since but when love takes control the head does not matter anymore, as for guys picking the wrong girl and getting scammed, you can call him stupid all you want and that hes being scammed but he wont listen to you, try a different approach than jumping his balls, give some better advice and the preps of getting over there to meet this girl, hotels, agencies,.. what ever and let the guy take find out for himself and take the kick to the balls from his own foot.
Excuse me BK,
But nasfan and I are 2 happy ones, not happy together mind you :), and that's just for starters, there is Colin who is happy, PeteB seems happy enough and there are other also so you obviously haven't read very much of this forum to make your statement that the happy ones don't come here.
"as for guys picking the wrong girl and getting scammed, you can call him stupid all you want and that hes being scammed but he wont listen to you, try a different approach than jumping his balls, give some better advice and the preps of getting over there to meet this girl, hotels, agencies,.. what ever and let the guy take find out for himself and take the kick to the balls from his own foot."
Bk.....he is only stupid if he blames the scammer for the problem. I don't think anyone here called someone that after coming back from a trip to FSU and sharing with us his story whether psoitve or not. One came to mind was evilbaga, took a lot of guts to share his experience. If learning is needed let the questions begin. I was on this site for several months before posting and another several months before I felt comfortable to be critical. It cracks me up for someone new to come here with guns a blazin.....they will get NO RESPECT from anyone. Some guys here can seem cruel but DON"T take it personally. WE are all individuals with our own way of communicating.....just take what you feel is helpful and ignore the rest. I know it is hard, but it takes 2 people to fight...if you ignore things it will go away. What is that saying....as your fighting the pig in mud......you soon realize he is enjoying himself.
Bastard Kid is Blu_Craze under another name. You don't know crap about me BK, though I question your naval experience. So what was your NEC, mine 0876/0877. Translate that one Snipe.
Also if one tends to read this forum intelligently the chances are they won't get scammed. You get jumped because of your assinine previous postings on here. You can deny being Blue_craze all you want, but what are odds that two people would come to this forum with identical stories in the same town with Russian women?? I could turn your 18k into a million on those odds.
I don't know too many guys here that get jumped, unless they were duly warned previous. Mike00 comes to mind then the hypocrites come back and blame the women, way too funny. Beemer is right, if you get scammed it's your own damn fault. You talk about agencys, I guess you don't read much either. I wouldn't use an agency for anything but letter translation. Go back and read more you need it BK.
TimH told me some time back to spend two weeks reading and digesting this forum and learn from the guys that have done this before posting. Well that's exactly what I did. I took something from each of them and made it work for me. As for lumps, I didn't take any, finding the women are easy, getting them to the states is easy. The hard part comes when you have to do everything for them in the beginning and I don't think you have that patience yet nor dedication because that is exactly what it takes. This coming March I will be married three years to and intelligent,incredibly beautiful woman inside and out. The first year take as lot of work and commitment. When they come to the States it is extremely differenct than Eastern and Western Europe. So be prepared. Though lets see if you listen to anyone here.
hey pete...I'm actually laughing right now....a post from you without refering to olya!!!!!!
Congratulations.....guess I'm going to miss yours and tringa's weddings!!! :-)))
Olga, Oleg or Jet you guys that have been around here longer than I have. Was this forum established in 2001? BK, Blu_Craze would have to be on of the Original Posters. Ooops I made a Mistake, I see it was done at least before 1972 Jimi Hendrix was posting here, I wonder what
his IP address was then?????
"Olga, Oleg or Jet you guys that have been around here longer than I have."
Hey thanks nasan. Way to make me feel OLD.
But I'm not the most senior writer (nonmoderator) here. That title would go to Thunderdome who is (I think) the most senior writer still contrinuting. Gladiator may predate me as well - I can't remember (there's that old age thing again).
nasfan,
One can change their IP address simply by switching off/on their router, it's the location of that IP address that might reveal something such as the dyslexic one, he posted that he was leaving Christmas Island, on his boat, 3 days ago but he continues to post daily, supposedly, from in the middle of an ocean!
Try it, check your IP on www.whatsmyip.org and then recycle your router and try again.
Thanks Martin, I've been curious about that. Since I live in the country I don't have DSL, but I can get satellite. I also have an ATT air card and wondered what IP that would show in different locals around the states.
I recall in the old days of dial up, my ISP here in UK was AOL, and some jerks claimed to have traced my IP to a place I had never heard of somewhere in mid USA.
I could only presume that mid USA location was something to do with AOL but those jerks would simply not accept that I was in UK!
And nasfan,
Because I am on a business plan with a very good, but competively priced, ISP at the moment I called their technical support one time and, after running a check on my line, they told me that I had a 'Netgear' router. When I questioned 'how the fock do you know that?' they told me that my IP address was that of a Netgear router, the type of router dictates part of the address!
I think that depends on the type of Internet you are on. I was on a wireless network that my computer found and Ip address that was free at the time. The Ip provider could actually have more clients than Ip addresses that way if all were not on at the same time. Now I am on a fixed ip address so I cannot change it. I do not use a router but the radio that receives the signal on the side of my house sets my ip address. Without a router you can go to start> control panel> network connections>right click and select properties> Highlight Internet protocol (tcp/ip)>properties. If there is a tick in the obtain an ip address automatically then you can disconnect and reconnect with a different ip address. However many times the computer will use the same one it had unless you give it a fixed address and let it try to find it and then select the automatic again. This will still show you as a client of your internet provider.
Now to be serious about changing your ip address you would need to use a proxy server (the signal would go from your computer to a server and this server would then hand off to the site you wanted to access. I think you could subscribe to one of these but I have not seriously checked into it. I did think about it to use netflixs in Ukraine but it would only have been a novelty as my lady could not keep up understanding English. Netflixs is only licensed for domestic use and it recognized that I was not in the US and refused to show me movies.
jetmba: normalish situation i guess. had been in contact with olya on the phone for about a year so decided to go and see her. ended up spending just over 2 months in kyiv! pretty much spent 24:7 together. it was fantastic and things have been great since being back, but now we have to use phone and skype. she doesn't want to leave ukraine, family ties and all that, and i love kyiv. it's fantastic. so i am leaving UK to go to be with her. we already have a flat there, that she is paying for right now, i paid for when i was there. no reason why she would want to leave ukraine anyway... kyiv is much more fun than here in portsmouth! and as a software engineer i can continue to work via the internet. i love her, she is great and so beautiful! i am 36 and she is only 23 but that has never been an issue. if anything she thinks i am a bit immature! lol! all in all... it couldn't be better. i will be moving there in a few weeks. would have been a bit sooner but she needs to go back to her parents to make a passport so we can go to egypt for her 24th birthday in february. and it only gets colder in lugansk during the winter! i have photos of me and her on facebook as 'pete backhouse' if anyone wants to take a look. /pete
