Trust me guys I would NEVER take our lovely Inessa off our favorite banner.
Something is seriously screwed up with wordpress right now.
My custom banner is showing up in the design preview but not in the final view.
I’ve heard that WordPress just release a new update.. so maybe this is the reason why.
Anyways I hate this traffic tunnel image as much as you do and will do everything possible to get our sweet leaf tossing maiden back up.
Stay Cool..

OK Looks like we are cool now..
Sorry for the rude visual interruption to anyone who saw it..
But we are back on track now it seems.. 🙂

Lol
The original banner is far the best…
Not a tunnel from mars…
Keep the good work

Hi RW man
Yes keep that banner – its brings a smile to my face every day –
when was the last time anyone saw a western woman be playful and happy enjoying nature??
FemoConsumerismTM has sucked alot of the natural joy out of their hearts.
BUT NOT MINE HA HA HA – I love being responsible for my own happyiness –
come to think of it i’ve never seen anyone with anykind of entitlement complex naturally happy.

I did not see anything wrong with the website, but now that it’s fixed I’m glad D: I wouldn’t want that lovely lady to disappear.
I’m not sure if this is offtopic, but a girl has started threatening my friend because she is dating a boy that she is absolutely psycho about. She has even gone far enough to say things like she’d enjoy taking a utility knife (or a boxcutter in other terms) to her face just to make her boyfriend suffer. I’m very worried and I’m not sure if these are empty threats or that I have to get myself or other people involved. i suppose this is the true ugliness of a femminist women who wanted everything but couldn’t have it. Any suggestions other than calling the police? (luckily the girl lives far enough that she only visits the boy a few times a year)

Long live the banner!
Try telling a Western woman to put down her trashy celebrity gossip magazine and go play in the leaves as it will enrich their soul and melt mens hearts…
Hmmm, OK, probably shouldn’t bother! LOL

Kara, I had a psycho ex-girlfriend a couple of years ago who threatened and harassed me for a couple of months. The police told me that it was rare for people to actually act on those threats. In other words, “barking dogs don’t bite.”
But why in the world is this boy allowing the psycho to visit him??
January 23, 2007 at 4:37 pm
Thanks Hero, that makes me feel alot better knowing that there’s a low possibility of something actually happening.
I believe he continues to let her visit him because she threatens to hurt or kill herself over him *rolls eyes*. She’s overdramatic from what I’ve read, and she blames everything wrong with her on him (because they used to date and “he’s ruined” her).
January 23, 2007 at 4:55 pm
Well, that guy has to cut off all contact with the psycho and have nothing more to do with her.
January 23, 2007 at 5:40 pm
Yes, if he keeps giving her any encouragement, she’ll never get the message. He probably feels a little guilty, which keeps him hooked into her psychosis. And she sees this and knows that he can still be manipulated. He needs to cut her off completely. Completely. Immediately. It will never get easier. She must be dead to him. Don’t answer letters, phone calls, whatever, no matter how he feels. If she shows up at his house, send her away immediately. Period, no discussion. Lock the doors if necessary.
She’ll never accept his reasons for doing this, but that’s not his problem. He must deal with his own feelings and leave her to deal with hers, alone. He cannot help her in any way shape or form. Her threatening to hurt herself is irrelevant. He is not responsible for anything she chooses to do in her life.
But since she has threatened others, I would report it to the police just so there’s a record of the threats, in case she does do something. And take all necessary precautions. If there are notes or phone messages with her threats, they can ask for a restraining order.
I know, I’m a coldhearted bastard. But I went through a minor version of this with a crazy ex a few years ago. This is the only way to deal with it and not end up in a sick “War of the Roses” situation.

What Craig said is right.
There’s no easy way out. You either put a complete stop to it all or you don’t. She might go nuts for a while, but she’ll get the message a lot quicker that way than any other.
He’s tried to be nice about. Doesn’t work.
January 24, 2007 at 5:05 pm
Craig, Shaun, Hero, thank you for all your advice. I will be seeing her tonight and I will sort out my concerns with her. I hope she doesn’t choose to do something that could get herself hurt.
An update from her journal brought these little timbits up which I find absolutely monsterish and scary:
“I could be all self-righteous and holy, all innocent and pure with a raw, open heart so delicately fluttering, but why the fuck would I want to? It queues you for pain.”
“It was my fault, and it had to do with her. Fuck. I love/hate being right. I’m always right. That said, it leaves a girl to wonder…”

Everyone, I put links to submit my posts to del.icio.us, yahoomyweb, and reddit on my blog, like what was done on this blog. I haven’t put links for every post yet, but I will get to it eventually. So it would be nice if you guys came over to my blog and helped me out with that because I know that some of you have accounts with those.

She needs some serious therapy, not that it’ll do any good. She has a lot of anger and bitterness in her that’s looking for an outlet. Childhood sexual abuse?
And – not knowing anything about her – I still wouldn’t be complacent about the possibility of her doing something. Cops see everything under the sun, and are jaded. They may be right that STATISTICALLY speaking the possiblity is low, but statistics have nothing to do with whether this girl is off her rocker. We lock our car when we park on the street, not because its theft is likely, but because it would SUCK if the .001% chance hit us today.

I haven’t been visiting this website in quite a while since I’ve been busy with work and some vacations. I just wanted to share with you what I saw few days ago.
Last Sunday, I went to the airport to catch my flight. When I was at gate area of the airport, I was standing in the line waiting for my turn to talk with a gate agent. While standing in the line, I noticed a young couple with a baby. That man appears to be in his 30’s with his wife in her mid-20’s with a baby. That wife is one of most physically beautiful and gorgeous girl I have ever seen in my life. She had quite long blonde hair, beautiful eyes and beautiful appearance. She was walking around and playing with her baby. She then sat beside her husband smiling and giving so much of constant love to her baby. She was so playful and happy to be with her baby. It was one of most beautiful moment I have ever seen in my life. It was like living in a heaven seeing a very beautiful mother smiling and loving her baby. It was so unbelievable to watch. I could tell by her appearance that she is a Russian, but I hope I was right on that. It was clear that she was way different from those American women.
In opposite to that picture, when I was inside the airplane, I sat in the same row as one American mother with her two young daughters. One of her daughter made so much of noises. When she was attempting to calm her down, I noticed that she was doing that in a uptight, tortorous, military-like manner. For instance, she said, “STOP! SHUT UP!” I could tell from seeing her eyes and face that she is very miserable and unhappy with herself and her kids. It was a eye-opening for me to see the huge difference in the way how mother treats her kids.
This moment of that very beautiful and model-like mother and her baby was so priceless! It is the moment that I will NOT forget in my lifetime.
January 25, 2007 at 4:37 am
I know. When I went on a trip earlier this month I saw an American mother at the airport screaming at her kids like that, too. They are spoiled brats who even if they get kids don’t know how to take care of them.

PS: QuietRebel, I am so glad that you came back!

Quietrebel – great story, beautiful image.
We all keep confirming these same types of observations. It’s a whole different world compared to what we otherwise see around us, and a damn refreshing one at that!

Guys:
I put a poll on my website that asks which region do people think is better: Siberia or America/The West.
One of the reasons I did this is that my roommate told me about a week ago that about half the people that read my site are offended by it, and most of the people who read it really don’t think that Siberia is good at all.
Now is our chance to prove him wrong through this poll. I know that this site is my biggest support base, so I made sure to tell you guys all about this.

Guys:
I’m sorry, but there was confusion regarding the wording of the question of the poll that I put on my site. Thus I had to delete it, throw out all results, and start all over again with a new version in which I have changed the wording.
Again, one reason I am doing this is because there are quite a number of personal friends of mine who have been saying that most people don’t believe in what either I or rw_man are saying about Russia and Siberia being great places to live. In fact, some of my friends have been saying that most people are in fact offended by my site. It would be really nice if I could show them that we do indeed have a lot of support, and this poll seems to be the best way to do that.
Again, I know that this site is probably my biggest support base, so I urge you all to come vote on this poll. And if you were one of those people whose votes were unfortunately deleted (Kara, you fall into this category), kindly accept my apologies and cast your vote again on this new version. I promise that I have it right this time, and there will be absolutely no more “kinks in the gears”.

Luke..
You need to be very careful when you claim that I or anyone else says that “Siberia is a great place to live”.. Because I don’t think I ever said that verbatim. No one can determine this except for you AFTER you’ve experienced it yourself.
You need to be very grounded with this whole thing. Yes there are incredible women here.. but does this alone make Siberia a paradise? Hardly..
Siberia doesn’t have a historically harsh reputation for nothing you know. There are always grains of truth in everything.
As with many developing countries there are huge differences between rich and poor here. You will probably not understand the hardships that exist here for most people until you arrive. So please respect their trials in life in living here and don’t over generalize about this place..
I don’t want you to loose the enthusiasm Luke.. but try to temper it and be balanced with both the good and the bad in all things..

Great Story Quiet Rebel..
Really brings the point home.. 🙂

Luke – I’m also not one that would want to dampen your enthusiasm for Siberia, but I’ll refrain from taking the vote because it probably won’t be the answer you’re either after, or perhaps expecting. I choose to live in Australia as I think it’s the best place to live. I love the connections I now have with FSU, and my now extended family there, but I would not live there for any great length of time. It’s fantastic to visit there, and it’s no understatement to say it has changed and enriched my life, but living there is a whole different thing, and something I do not choose to do.

Siberia Now..
Have you heard the term “Tongue in Cheek”?
When a guy like Jimmy Buffet sings about having “2 Cheeseburgers in Paradise” do you think he’s seriously referring to a real Utopian Society?
Was there ever or will there ever be a True “Paradise”? I don’t think so..
Could it be possible that I was referring to Women only.. or the closest measure I can imagine of a Womanly Paradise?
Get it?
February 7, 2007 at 3:49 pm
RW- I think there can be True Paradise…
However, it’s made in the home and not in the house 😀 2 cheeseburgers would be paradise right now though~
