In the ocean Scott. I know, you have to be fit or you'll be in pain for a week if not longer, lol. Ive hurt myself a few times. I fractured my ankle and actually gave myself a hernia once on that dam thing (no joke). Had to have an operation to repair the dam thing, that kinda sucked.
It more than sucks. I have been through that operation for one side, and will likely need it again for my other side (gave myself a minor one snow skiing last year).
Hasn't become big enough of an issue to the take the time for it.
Skydiving, waverunners at 70? I am such a pussy!! I figure jumping out of a perfectly sound aircraft makes about as much sense as pissing in the wind. Yes I'm a puss, I rode a CBR last weekend and I let off on the bike at 160 my two friends I was riding with just disappeared. They both hit 190 on the crotch rockets. I was just wondering in my next letter to my lady. Dear Larisa, I do not have any legs anymore but I now get excellent parking!!!Life is good!!! We are all adrenaline junkies some way or another!
"......But also 6'2" 195 pounds, full head of hair, 33 inch waist, bigger chest, in great shape. I can keep up with any of them (if you know what I mean). I waterski, scuba dive and am a (student) pilot.
No bald, pot-bellied, middle aged man here...."
Damn, jet....if I ever decide to kick for the other team i'll look you up, lol.....what a man!!!!
Mike thanks for the good wishes! We are really crazy for each other having spent so many hours talking and writing over four months. We both realize that only when we spend significant time together (in relative terms given the space that seperates us) will we know if we have a future together. But all the signs look good. She is literally everything I could ask for in a woman - intelligent,affectionate, sweet, hard working, practical, down to earth, kind ,patient, gentle, loves kids (wants more kids - I must be insane!), likes to laugh, traditional values, lively, young but not to young, and yes very beautiful to me (a great figure, slim, very cute face, great legs, ample bosom), not a party girl etc..
Of course there is always the possibility that we may not click, or one of us may feel the other has mis-represented themself. Who knows. I am going there positive with deep emotions towards her, but still letting my brain take the lead.
I am psyched! And if it dosen't work out, I suppose I will be broken hearted but without regrets, but not broken in my spirit. Really what do I have to lose except a few bucks, I can always make more on the printing press in the church basement!
ensata- Only 11 days? It's going fast now.I won't be leaving till Oct. Still feels like a year away. All you fellas will be married with a kid on the way before I leave. Can't wait to hear about your trip as I enjoy hearing about all the first-timers. Someday it will be my time but it feels like forever now.
Dale time is flying by and creeping at the same time! If all goes well I will hope to visit again it September or October. There is a posibility that after that she may actually be able to visit me here in theU.S.
I thought it was Monica Slutskaya ex mistriss of Wlliam Clitinova?;
the one who is supposed to be married to Hillary Rod-ham Clitinova.
Gee thanks Toad... I guess... be sure and warn me if that happens though, okay?
Don't do a lot of jetskiing - which might be surprising since I live in Wisconsin - on Lake Michigan. But used to race snowmobiles on the local circuit. Did a little cross country racing as well. Requires a little more physical stamina than you might expect. Nothing nicer than going over an unfamiliar hill of fresh powder at 70 to 80 mph and hoping there are no surprises at the bottom. And those barbed wire fences. Might make you long for the comfort of a gentle wave of water.
PN, maybe you are at the wrong site, instead of telling all the men here to wake up and stop looking and wasting our time for girls who do not exsist, maybe you should be telling the girls who are looking that they desire the incorrect things in life to your way of thinking. I do not call you stupid but you must be bored. How did you come to be in a site that talks about someting you yourself have no interest in yourself. Go and live you life and let everyone else live theres as no one here is being swayed by your opinion
«girls who do not exist» - Idiotdetecter, that phrase makes me think that u have not the least notion about the girls here. (I mean moscow girls). No really....u just mix everything up. Ppl from Ukraine, Moldova, Uzbekistan, Latvia u call FSU.....well its just the same as to make no difference between Canada, the States and Mexico.I never tried to impose anything on u. How can I change ur point of view if million examples (girls from M, U, L) disprove my words. I just wanned to put up a word for Moscow girls and that’s all
Personally I would never visit Moscow on my quest for my future wife. One reason - I understand that it is an expensive city, second only to Tokyo for tourist visitation. Somewhere I read that for the price of a typical dinner for two in Moscow - you can take a girl out with her immediate family (parents) in St. Petersburg, or you can go out EIGHT TIMES in any of the other FSU countries.
Secondly - I come from a small city area. and i intend to live in a similar way for the rest of my life. It's my understanding that Moscow girls are Big City Girls with all of the negative big city attributes that a girl from midtown Manhatten would have. She wouldn't be happy where I want to live. Why should I look for that?
When I was in St. Petersburg evryone I was with there didn't seem to think too much about Moscow. They all agreed that it was too fast paced for them. Whenever we spoke of Moscow I can see by the look on their faces it wasn't the type of city for them. But Ive never been there myself so I just speak from what I was told by people that live in St. Pete.
As for dinner, there were many excellent restarants and everywhere I went they had the menu written in English next to Russian. A few of these restarants rival some of the most expensive restarants I have been to in the US. When I took her family out it cost me about $100 to $120 and that was for 4 of us and the food and service was second to none.
I myself have never been to Moscow, but a friend of mine told me that the prices were as big as one can think out...I don't want to spend 100 or more $ for a simple dinner at restaurant there, as here we can go with a big company and have lots of food and drinks, and spend the same 100 $ or even less...Ok I realize that Moscow is a big and nice city, but not for my character and not for my money situation...:)
Its a feeling not unlike looking through pages of your old hometown newspaper and discovering that the children of your old classmates are now parents themselves.
I've been here a little longer than a year - that's about two or three "classes" (generations) of people who have come, been all excited about the prospect of this undiscovered (to them anyway) cashe of beautiful, intelligent and interesting Russian women that they can get in contact with ("like a kid in a candy shop"). A few get a belly full of candy that they don't like and go home dissapointed. But a few stay the course.
We hear similar question. We are privy to similar elations. And then we get a graduating class of those who leave us. They ususally promise to stop back every once in a while and keep in touch with their "forum friends" but its understandable that they don't as they move on to the next step.
Congratulations to the graduating class this time. It appears that members include TimH, trad, perhaps ensata and others.
I kind of hoped with my last trip to Moldova to be among you - but it looks like I have a class or two to repeat. So I will go back to summer school.
How did this congratulatory post turn depressing? I don't know.
Mosco girls can stay in mosco if you seak for them all as far as I am concerned. And what about (girlfrommosco). She wanted to marry a forien man that she loved, do you speak for her too.
And bye the way P.N. I know plenty of Russian girls. I have been 3 times and I know about 10 in my city. The fact is that you speak for you, no one else so get over you self apointed position as the voice of mosco women.
Im glad that u know that much about so-called FSU females. It appears to me that such profound knowledge will by no means help u to find ur only one.. maybe even in Moscow haha
But is it a crime to tell the truth......and the truth is - all i have said before refers to every girl I know here ....Believe me i know more then 10 girls in my city
