Me 54 her 43. she is a beautician. Vocational College. She has 17 yr daughter going to beauty school. Kharkiv, Kharkiv, Ukraine.

No I'm not the fairly common fat, bald old man looking for one just out of high school. I know that would not work.

*The Family Rules*

Always tell the truth , Always argue naked,of course not in the childrens presence.and Don't go to bed angry.

Too much t.v is bad, too much reading is good! Family comes first, always be there.

Hands are for hugging not for hitting! Be thankful for what you have.. don't envy others

Have fun, be kind, ask first, no fussing, no whining., Husband adore her always- Wife love him forever

Sing silly, dance crazy, hug often, snuggle daily ,use your manners- Yes, please. No, thank you.

Use nice words, ignore dirty words Share everything except bad ideas

Say your prayers, thank God for this family.

Always be nice to strangers cuz they just might be a friend you have'nt met yet..!

It is my understanding that if the European Union got in there would be investigations into yanukovich, and how things are done within his inner circle and he could end up in jail or running for cover in Russia to continue rootin for putin.

I have never heard that it was bad luck to give a watch as a gift. I can ask my wife's opinion on that one but it is news to me. There are some superstition about gifts such as if you ever give flowers make it an odd number. A dozen roses as we would do here is a major no-no. Even numbers are for funerals only. Give one, three, thirteen, eleven or any odd number.

Potter County. I could say you are really in the middle of no where but you are no where. dancin5hr.gif I have been up through Potter county and the Coudersport area some. It is pretty country with Kinzu dam and lake, lots and lots of trees. Do they still have the ice mine in that area? I recall visiting it as a kid but that was ages and ages ago. I am older than dirt. I am from Beaver Co myself. Lots of trees but we mix it in with a couple of people as well.

My last trip to Ukraine took me to both the city your gal is from and the one she lives in now. I liked Kharkov. Actually I have been there twice. Zaporyhze is ok. I could stand in my hotel room and watch a long row of steel mills pumping thick smoke into the air. It reminded my of my area back 40 years ago. Both cities have wonderful women and I am sure your gal is wonderful as well. I had one wonderful woman from each of those cities I met but a few weeks after I was there I made a trip to Barnaul Russia and met my wife for the first time and dropped any plans to go back.

Skype is a great way to go. You can build some nice rapport before you even meet face to face and the language problems are not that big a deal.

I just asked my wife if there were any superstitions about giving a watch. At first thought she said no, she had not heard of any. Then she thought about it and said yes, it is not that common but some believe that when you give a watch you are putting a time limit on your time together and if the watch ever stops working the relationship will too.

Personally I think it is a minor one and I would give her the watch.

Yes. It's exactly as she explained. Flowers also true :) Personally me do not care about number of flowers :) As for how to give the watch.......just give it without saying it's a present......

there will be a fee but not a big one. (ur card is in USD, ATMs in Ukraine do not give you USD in cash but show amount on the screen in UAH and you withdraw UAH).
