My wife HATES baseball. She took a cab home from the last game we went to. Got up right in the middle of an at bat and just walked out. Didn't say where she was going, what she was doing, nothin. Just left.

... until you put tannerite behind them!

And next time you guys are out, set up some balloons or something reactive like that to burst. It's a lot more fun to shoot reactive rifle targets as well.

Way to go, Pasha!

Good for both of them!

Update! I told Alla today I was anxious to meet Pasha's TWO girlfriends and she said "Two? Who said two? He has about 8 girlfriends, but two are always with him the others come and go" :lol: I asked if we would be able to get him to come back and she said yes, he already told her it is nice but he needs to work several months in the US to pay for 3 weeks with the women in Ukraine! :lol:

My MIL was able to get a tourist visa to be here for our wedding. We wound up marrying earlier but she came for the two weeks anyway. She was of the mindset that things were not that good in the USA, probably believed all the negative stories/propaganda that was and maybe still is on their state-run media. She was very surprised by what she found here! Now she can't wait to come back! :rofl:

My parents went back to Russia yesterday and they really missed home all the time they've been here. The hardest thing for them was not being able to talk to anybody, they always needed my help. They also missed Russian food a lot, one day we all went to a Russian store, but still... They've seen lots of beautiful places though, that's good. They had fun at the wedding, which is also good (yep, I'm a wife now :star: ).

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

Wow,now I'm actually glad that my parents went back home on Monday and not yesterday, cause apparently yesterday's earthquake caused a lot of flight delays.

Anyway, thank you, guys! Oh, my weding did happen and it was sooooo fun.

Yeah, I can show you some pics :yes:

Update! I told Alla today I was anxious to meet Pasha's TWO girlfriends and she said "Two? Who said two?

Two girlfriends...that's great! He's learning a great American tradition...the basic 3-way! But with 8 girls in the Ukraine, he seems to be actually moving from full-tilt swinging to a mundane menage. We're slow over here.

I have now got to meet some of them! HOLY #######! All I can say is Kip would go stark raving mad! These girls are 16 and 17 and if they told me they were 22 I would not ask for ID. It is crazy! Still, not that I am attracted myself, I would be more interested in their mothers (if I was in that market) but HOLY #######! How will we ever get him to go back? Oh yeah, I forgot, the only way he can afford all this crumpet is with a job paying American wages. :whistle:

Alla has the typical Ukrainian mother reaction.... :angry: I have the typical father reaction... :o:P:D:dance::thumbs::wow:
