Hope you're feeling better! Keep drinking that mint tea!

Oh BTW, something I've been meaning to post....for the enjoyment of everyone who didn't already know about it (I had certainly never heard of it before Ozzy showed me), especially those with loved ones who are newly here in the US or soon to be arriving:

http://www.fulldizi.com/

Click the dropdown menu under "kategoriler" and there are lots of shows to choose from that you can watch online...many are in Turkish and some are in English with Turkish subtitles. Ozzy and I love to relax with his laptop and watch some of these together. Watching the Turkish ones, I can still get the main gyst of things and he translates the important parts, plus it helps me learn. The English ones with the Turkish subtitles are also great because we can both relax and enjoy and get the humor and everything without having to stop and explain to each other

Our personal favorites are Son Aga (a Turkish soap - sort of) and How I Met Your Mother...oh and Kurtlar Vadisi.

We also find lots of old Turkish movies posted on YouTube...Sekerpare, Cicek Abbas, etc.

Anyway, enjoy!

Awesome, Tanya! Thanks! I know Onur will love to watch his Turkish shows when he is here in the U.S....IN 2 WEEKS!

He received his visa in the mail yesterday! Just one week after he sent in his passport and new medical. He is planning on arriving in the U.S. on Feb. 27th but hasn't bought the ticket yet. I am sooo excited!

Hi Tanya,

I have been thinking of you! How are you feeling?

Any special plans for Valentine's Day? Anyone? Yilmaz just called me, now if I know him (and I do) he will forget to call tomorrow and I will have to punish him!!

Hi Wendy!

As of this moment, I am happy to say I feel much better. I saw my midwife today and she prescribed me the most awesome stuff! I just took my first dose and I could feel it settling my stomach within minutes. Lets hope it stays that way!

LOL typical guy!! We don't have any big plans for tomorrow but I scheduled us for a couple's massage on Sunday. That's just my way of giving him a gift that is sorta a gift for me too Not sure what else he has planned....he's probably afraid to take me out for dinner as weird as my stomach has been lately He keeps asking me what I want for "Valentino's day" as he calls it, and I keep telling him "I don't know". We'll see if he comes up with anything...

Hey, I never realized "Lost" was on there! We'll have to check it out! I used to be into that show years and years ago but kinda lost track of what's been going on....

Thanks for pointing that out

Is Avrupa Yakasi the one with ppl working in an office and then it shows them at home sometimes and there's an old grumpy woman wearing "village" clothes?? I think we might have been watching that the other day. Ozzy was laughing so hard, so it must have been hilarious. I was, like you, making up my own story line

So you lived in Turkey...for how long? Hoom and I came to Istanbul-Avrupa just to get married but when we saw how much cheaper the apartments are here compared to Dubai we decided to stay here until he can get his greencard. How did you handle the cooking situation? Due to Turkey's protectionism I'm finding it difficult to find a range of foreign products that I'm familiar with. I haven't started a language class so if I bought a Turkish cookbook in Turkish it would be difficult to translate each recipe. It's easy to find German products and a limited number of Swedish products if you go to IKEA but it's not so easy to find Mexican, Asian, American or European goods. Did you ever find any foreign market that sells lots of American & other foreign products?

Hehehe.
