Well tonite i called her,and she was too busy to take my call talking all the time to other people,when i asked her who,it was her son,now she has all day to talk to him,not when i call,i politely replied i would call at another more convenient time and hung up,to be followed by five missed calls and a solly text,i was amazed,maybe i will hang it out for a day or two,i will have to go now the russians next to me are shouting down the phone,it sounds like they are planning the final assault on Stalingrad,much yelling and gesticulating,thank god they are moving me to another bungalow tomorrow. I think you are over the top with your views about Russians, I have always found them to be polite, ok not as refined as the Chinese. As for your wife not anwering the calls, give her a break, she may'be has an issue with her cousin or perhaps she wants to surprise you when you get home. May'be the guy has been out all day cutting tree and has some good wood for her. For sure she will be happy for you, after all, you and she are the "same same" person. Simply put if she gets effed, so do you. Don't forget to send money, as chainsaw oil costs alot. As a post script, if you want the Russians to calm down, tell them you are from Chechnia. Hope this helps you. good thinking,but not sure where i could buy one of those chechen hats here,do you think if i fashioned one out of my beach towel it may work? as for the Mrs if she's gets some good wood,it will be only small peices. |

One of the few useful things I learned while being a draftee in the Netherlands Army: "hurry, hurry, wait". One gets used to it  |

If they don't get together often they like to lump a bunch of activities back to back to back so everyone is Together (big to them) and involved.....When my wife/family are away I just explore and relax - which I prefer to being landlocked on the farm for a week or more...We talk on the phone/Skype once in the morning and at night around bed time.....last time they were there for a week and I drove down for the 2nd week.....they are happy working doing farm stuff and yapping all the time - like camp for them....me - I don't.....
They talk all the time and are happy.....when we are home they hardly talk by phone and always is a short conversation.....
My wife does say sorry when it applies but neither of us get upset very often....The 14 y/o daughter is the same.....the 7 y/o is made to apologize or say thank you when she is thoughtless.....but is at about 50%.....
We all say please and thank you.....

You haven't changed a bit. I see you still have that apron for doing house chores. Who's that young soldier on your right? |
