Russians are generally very happy when there is something to complain about.

That part is in our character no matter where we are born. It's generally reserved for other Russians though. You don't want to bee seen as a whinger.

Well I guess when there is a lot to complain about and it goes on for generations...naturally it would get inbedded in the genes.

well yea it's something like that. I don't really know why but when a few Russkies get together it always happens.

Who wants to sleep anyway. I've just about finished work for the day and am heading for a surf and then a few beers.

Sleep is about 8 hours away for me.

I don't do boards anymore. Just bodysurf, although sometimes I take a boogie out. But I really just enjoy catching a few waves for half an hour most days after work,

I like to body surf too and have actually gotten a lot better at it. Not too many people do it here but I have seen a few out there who really get some good ones-especially on the big days

Yeah, the first two years are really important...If the husband had a good job then yeah the wife should stay home, it would be unneccessary for her not to be ...but now if he didn't then I can see where she should find a part-time job to supplement the income..but I don't think anymore than that, because it would interfere...women should be active in something even if it's volunteer work or projects, I agree on that one...but when both the father and mother have busy, busy careers it blows structure right out of the water...I have seen young children home alone without their parents being around and those kids cook, clean. ect..I don't think it builds a very good bond between the parents and the children...they grow up to resent their parents.... Rolling Eyes just my opinion!!!


In the US, it's not always the necessity but the free choice of women who want to have more money, and want to work. They don't want to stay home and want other things in life - better clothes, better houses, etc.


I agree...but not all American women want that....it is nice to have clohes and few more dollars but it doesn't make everything...some get that when they stay home..and frankly, If I were married....I prefer to stay home and let someone else work...I am tired of working....let him do it...I know that is a bad view point...sorry....I could find all kinds of stuff to do at home....I wouldn't mind it at all and I wouldn't have a complaint...I would just get involved in something and be happy....but like I said in another post...you either work or starve...not all of us get lucky and marry a man with the ultimate job...especially in the south....
