Engagement Rings

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

Cute story, I'll share with you guys. One time we were discussing our past and reasons we became single. Alla was telling me about her former husband. I asked if he ever hit her. Her response, "On one moment he did. It was his last. You have seen my former husband, yes, you remember his size? (He is probably 120 kilos or roughly three Allas) I picked him up. His feet not touch floor. I threw threw him on wall and said, never do it again! My husband had big shock! He consider little woman not strong. He make big mistake. He forget I am sporty girl!" She then looked at me smiled, giggled, and said, "I am happy I have tender man now. I know you would never do it." We laughed together for quite a while. So never mess with my little keg of dynamite!

Alright you guys!

In defense of her 44 kilos. Remember she is only 152 cm. The girl is solid muscle. She was a competitive ice skater and then turned to modern dance. (If you are interested, you can view her dance clips on our Club World Relations site by clicking the images at the bottom of the "About EOS" page.) She's just in great shape!

Oh and by the way, twice in the year I lived in Kazan' she agreed to go to McDonalds for the sake of the children. She ate two Royal Cheeseburgers (think 1/4 pounder), large fries, and an ice cream sundae!

Heh, it's always the petite girls that can just put it away.

Hahahaha!!! . That's hillarious! Of course you know we were just teasin'. I figured she was probably not too tall. I'm sure her weight is just right for her frame. But you're a good sport, nonetheless! And I'm sure she could kick all our @sses! For the sake of the children! Hahahaha

I'm sure she could kick all our asses combined. I still think you need a rudder or something on that hat though so she can at least steer in that stiff wind. :)

Everyone says this, I'm not too worried. My Alla is not interested in McDonalds. She is a sporty girl and will continue to eat real food and exercise. I'm more worried for her teenage daughter that will! She already outweighs my fiancée because she has half the activity level and prefers the junk food.

It's all about the activity vs. intake levels. That's why you see so many babushkas that look "tough." They still pour on the mayo and sour cream but forget to go walking because their pensions are already paid. Compare/contrast that with our little 10-year-olds here in the U.S. and they are a "tough" looking bunch as well. Actually, rolly-polly would be more accurate. "Those X-Box games sure are cool!"

There's a "game store" in the mall where the wife and I often go to the movies and one peculiarity I noticed was they sell lots of "energy drinks" in that store. I'm thinking to myself "what the hell do you need an energy drink for while you're playing video games?" I asked a guy I work with, who's heavy into the gaming world and he schooled me on the fact that it's "very important" to drink those drinks while gaming because of the increased mental clarity, hand-eye coordination and decreased reaction time. Who knew that sitting on your @$$ pushing buttons required the help of a caffeine shot, ginseng, ginko bilboa, guarine, tuarine, B-Vitamins and an extra 400 calories?

We played Atari on mere Twinkies and Kool-Aid, and that worked just fine for us. Course, we only had one button. I guess they really do need all that extra "fuel."

After that, the combination of my slow metabolism and her cooking will ensure any further weight loss to be unlikely.

Not necessarily. I think I dropped about 10-lbs after my wife's arrival because of her cooking. She wasn't allowed to work and was thus forced to stay home and cook. Prior to her arrival I had a nice Whopper for breakfast, a couple Gorditas for lunch and capped the evening with something lite like a pizza or some chicken wings. This, of course, was supplemented by beer and/or plenty of Mt. Dew throughout the day.

Once she got here, I was eating "natural" foods and there was something about "portions" in there somewhere. I remember being hungry as the only actual nutritional value I was getting was from the generous scoops of mayonnaise and sour cream snuck in between the green stuff. (Whatever that was.) Since then, we've adjusted our eating habits somewhat. She eats "her food" and I help her out whenever there's meat and/or potatoes mixed in there somewhere.

"I am happy I have tender man now.

That's awesome!!!

Usually when I get called anything close to "tender" she's referring to the "soft" belly I have.

Cute story, I'll share with you guys.

omg that's hilarious. I can just here her saying "He forget I am sporty girl!" Hehe!

She then looked at me smiled, giggled, and said, "I am happy I have tender man now. I know you would never do it." We laughed together for quite a while. So never mess with my little keg of dynamite!

Yours was a nervous laugh, wasn't it?

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

My laugh started nervous which only made her laugh even harder! Yeah, there is something about the way Russian girls say things that melts even the toughest male. 'He forget I am sporty girl" was the best! Especially when she said it so serious in her talk.

Oh, BTW, Slim, Alla used "tender" as in "calm and sweet."

They also have a way of saying things that makes me believe they're 100% capable of doing them. I've noticed the more nervous/afraid you seem to be, the harder you will get pressed! They're like lionesses, capable of exploiting a momentary weakness and then pouncing for the kill!

I would take just about any Russian woman seriously if she ever "in her serious talk" threatened to do something to me. I wouldn't be too worried about it, as I am also "heavy guy" but I'd definitely find a safer place to sleep!

Oh, BTW, Slim, Alla used "tender" as in "calm and sweet."

I figured such. My wife uses "soft" as "soft and big and greasy FAT! ugly nasty foooooo!"

(Yours is much nicer.)

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

You have uncovered a secret... Alla has called herself a lioness ever since I first found her. It is very fitting.

Alla is also of gypsy blood and let me tell you. a combination of lioness and gypsy... Well, you may not believe me, but I have seen, literally, a cupboard door fall off the hinges when she was angry once. No one touched it and it was not falling apart beforehand. We were sitting having tea and she became angry because a client had failed to pay her and now she had to cover his end. When her voice raised, boom. She told me, "Jeffery, I am sorry. It happens sometimes when I have very bad spirits." Scared the ####### out of me!

Okay...now *that's* spooky.

You do realize that you can never EVER make her mad, right? We're talking the "Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" kind of don't make her mad.

Her ex is actually luck that all she did was push him up against the wall.

yea, very lucky, because if she had raised her voice at him, something might have fallen off that he might need later

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

Believe me, we talked about it! She replied, "As long as I love you no bad will come." It is only when I feel hate for people. Her ex never raised a finger after that incident. There divorce was swift to follow. I did meet the guy one time. I would have never guessed them to ever be a couple. He is nothing like Alla describes as a man for her. She told me she was a young foolish girl when she married him and thought he was going places.

Oh and for Bobalouie... True! We joked about that once. She replied, "Jeffery there is not enough there to make fall off. So little I can not even remember he had this thing for real."

So Nadya's ex-boyfriend had set up her email account when they were dating, and held on to the password. I know this because I started getting emails from the guy telling me to stop seeing her, that she was a gold-digger and a scammer, blah blah. He even posted our emails on the internet. He also started listing all her personal info on scammer sites, which I'm still cleaning up. Nadya was furious. She got herself a new email account, but still the damage was done. And the guy would not stop calling her and emailing me. It got to be a huge problem, because he started even calling her work number and bothering her at work.

Anyway, one day we're talking on the phone and I asked her if "Paul" had been bothering her again. She said something to the effect of "Kirk, do not worry. Paul is goodbye." That was slightly chilling, but then I stopped getting emails from the guy, and Nadya said he no longer called. After that I was like "zomg my girlfriend is Russian mafia!" Well about 2 months later the guy sent me an email saying "good luck with your scammer girlfriend I have a new girl," I got a chuckle. On the other hand I'm slightly disappointed that my SO can't make people disappear.

Sounds like the ex-boyfriend was also American or Western? A jealous Russian boyfriend would wait until you visited her and then him and his buddies would beat the ####### out of you, take all your money, and you'd be lucky enough to return And if you went to the authorities, why they'd beat the ####### out of you too, for instigating the whole thing and not having your visa registrated!

LOL! Yeah, Canadian.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

Wow! Interesting story, Kirk! Glad that guy disappeared!

Out of all the letters Alla received in the past she really only had one other guy that seemed serious for her. He never showed up though after he said he was coming to Kazan' and she never heard from him since.

It's funny how both of you have mentioned other "men" your ladies were considering and both were long distant foreign relationships. I wouldn't worry about that, probably the biggest threat in alienating the affections of your fiancée has to be the local Russian guy! He is there now and in person. What better way to steal a woman's heart then to do it in person rather then sending an email! Then again a lot of the Russian guys are avoiding women with prior marriages, kids, and baggage of that sort, so its hard to say.
