Clearly, you are just being defensive because you realize that you have a pretty pathetic life. How many boyfriends have you had in just past few years? Will this one pop the question? I doubt it.
I actually have travelled quite a bit and lived in Russia. Certainly, I can have better information abouto Russia and Europe than some half-educated Califronian redbeck - and I am not talking about your boyfriend. |
Quit projecting, you pathetic little glue sniffing loser. Focus on popping your zits and getting to the next level of final fantasy.

Damn.... |

Beyond survival, there is more to consumption than just flavor and spice. Texture counts. Presentation. Temperature. Ambience. Interesting side effects ...
Do Russians ever drink Senna or Slippery Elm tea? |
Absolutely...especially if you are competing on..."Samurai....CHEF!"
Russians drink Black tea...with lemon and ginger...leaf only |

All I am saying is, you have to understand the difference between immigrants looking for help in the new country and what you will see in Russia where you will be an American tourist where few people will be looking for your help. I did not say there's anything wrong in helping people. It's good that you're trying to help and I would do the same. But I think it would make sense if you listed to people like me and surfguy since we travelled the world and have been to Russia. Also, I lived in Russia for 20+ years, so I know a thing or two about the place.
Again, I think it's a great idea to visit Russia. Both Moscow and St Petersburg are fascinating cities. I am sure you will enjoy it. |
I seriously doubt your having been anywhere outside your rat infested apartment. So Jo Jo should probably just get her advice from Surfguy if she wants any. |
Well she gets a lot of advice from me as I do from her. And sometimes though it is also worthy to get advice from Russians...either the ones here or over there. But too we all need to realize that all of are experiences are only from our own perspectives |

Yeah he could, if I were interested in his field of work. If and when I decide to go back to school, I wont need any help whatsoever because I am not an imbecile. My reason for not continuing my education has nothing to do with my mental capabilities. I just happen to be an all or nothing type of a person who is either completely on board with something, or completely off. That is a character flaw for sure, but it is what it is. In any case its none of your business, I can see your education (or lack thereof), sure hasnt helped you out in life. |

Someone who calls another person a "glue sniffing loser" needs more education. It's obvious to me.
The college education certainly helped me in my job. I would not be able to get this kind of job without a college degree. Actually, many large financial firms demand college degree of their perspective employees. |

Then you will be forced to include yourself in your assumption of who is in need of more education, otherwise face being labeled what I already know that you are, which is a HYPOCRITE. You give as much as you get, so do not pretend like you are above making ridiculous comments. I think you love making these comments, because you make more rude comments, than nice comments. You seem frustrated to be honest. You should probably look into that before you implode. |

Ha-ha-ha... Amongst russians Baltica 9 is called "young girl's beer" or "drunkard beer". It has so much spirit that one bottle able to get a hungry man at hot summer completely drunk. Young girls do not have enough money to buy lot of good beer, so they buy most strong beer and quickly get "into condition" before party.
Unfortunately in other things you right. Russian beer is average. Unfortunately there is not always possible to find bar with Krusovice, Warsteiner, Newcastle ale, Murphys or Grolsch.

Yes. Guinness is really overpriced.
| mr. barley wrote: | | I did find some Belgain beers in the grocery store near my hotel, but again, very expensive. The beer I bought at kiosks was generally Korona (not the Mexican Corona) and it was in January so it wasn't warm. |
Do you mean "Sibirskaya korona" a.k.a. "Siberian crown"?
| mr. barley wrote: | | I found it interesting that you could walk up to a kiosk and buy a beer,open it right there with their opener and go walking down the street with a beer in your hand. Try that one here. |
Recently law has been passed which forbid open drinking of alcoholic bewerages (beer also) at the streets. For me it is extremely stupid law. It seems entrie country think same. This law is completely ignored by people. One humorist said: "The idiocy of Russian laws is compensated by not-compulsion of their execution" |

I mean beer that is in the mass production. There are local beers that have quality comparable with the best beers of the world. For example our city has local beers called "Krist" and "Fifth ocean" which far more tasty than widespread "Baltika". |

You have not used that word in a while. I know it's one of your favorite words. Based on your admission, you clearly need counceling. All that anger, impatience and avoidance of any order or conflict is not healthy. You're still quite young and you can develop your skills and gain valuable education. You spend a few years like that and it will be too late. |

Let me make one thing clear for you, I do not avoid conflict because I am some kind of non confrontational coward. I avoid conflict in the workplace because once I am called out, I will not back down, and since I am not interested in going to jail, I find thats its best that I keep my mouth shut, and mind my own business. Is there something so heinous in that? As to my anger problem, I am not alone, there are tons of people who have anger issues and I am doing nothing wrong by finding ways to keep my anger at bay. I am sure that if you talked down to someone in your office, the same way you talk down to me, someone would have something to say to you that would probably be classified as ANGER.  |

I would not talk like to someone in my office because I understand the difference between the professional work environment and a message board. Most reasonable people that have a problem try to work on that problem so that they can grow personally and professionally. It does not mean that you should shut up and be quiet when you're "called out" It means that you can learn to find smart, diplomatic and reasonable ways to get your point accross so that you remain professional and work well with other people while maintaining and asserting your point of view. In the end, if you learn to work with people - it will help you in any industry and on any job - whether you work from home or in the office. Actually, the IT industry is pretty informal. Even though the financial industry is quite formal, the IT departments there are pretty informal. I worked for several large and global financial firms - it was that way in all of them. For most IT jobs, there's no dress code, you come and go pretty much whenever you want (as long as you get the job done), and most managers that I worked with are pretty reasonable people. |
