Judging by your comments - your wives have a LOT to worry about - lest you put her red lingerie in with the white  towels on a cottons setting ;)

Over the past few years I have sold 15 one acre lots in my real estate development.
I have never reduced the asking price on any parcel, so it's a take it or leave it operation.

Today, I got this message from a guy who had been out and looked a couple of times, and who had all the info about my previous sales and other nearby comparable sales because I had furnished it.

He gave me an offer of about half my asking price (which was in line with my previous sales), and also furnished this statement in support of his 'low ball' offer:

"Land in this area has skyrocketed over the past 10 years for no apparent reasons other than the boom in the housing market."

Dumb reason he gave you. It certainly didn't motivate you to sell.


There are people and groups out there that offer half the amount of value for property to a whole lot of people. Eventually they will contact one or a few people in financial trouble that will sell. Throw out a thousand offers and if only a few people bite it'll earn millions for those who are buying property at half the value and reselling at full value.

In a politically popular move that could change (for the worse) the face of Ukrainian transportation, Rada deputies propose that cars can be imported after owners pay flat fees of 500 euros.

This single fee would replace VAT and excise duties that often top 6,000 euros.
The new fee would apply to new cars and used cars less than 10 years old.

Rada Deputy Oleksandr Shevchenko from UKROP, or the Ukrainian Association of Patriots, tells UNIAN:

"In our time, a car is really not a luxury, but a means of transportation. It is needed for everything – for families, to go to doctors when they are sick, for entrepreneurs, to be mobile and have time to do business, for average people, to visit relatives, travel and relax.”

Guys, this is 'clean Thursday' in Orthodox system.

So even though it is not close to end of month, you may want to shower anyway.

Traditionally, "clean Thursday" meant washing the feet of someone else, mimicking Jesus' washing the disciples' feet at the Garden of Gethsemane. 


The cleaning of homes is a very literal interpretation (IMHO, misinterpretation) of Matthew 12:43-45 or Luke 11:24-26.

The devaluation of the Russian ruble following the imposition of new sanctions by the U.S. has not adversely affected the Hryvnia, according to bankers polled by Interfax-Ukraine. Board Chairman of RwS Bank Vladyslav Kravets explained: "For the first time in 25 years of Ukraine's independence, the sharp decline in the ruble's exchange rate has not adversely affected the hryvnia exchange rate, which, in turn, also attests to achieving greater energy independence of the country.”

That doesn't mean you're eating them. I predict you both kissed and made up and then kissed and made out.

Took Ochka to her first horse races.
Had a good time and even won a small amount on betting.
But lost it all on roulette wheel in casino.  Nothing big though.

Ah, I used to go to the racetrack all the time as a kid. Lost interest completely in high school, even before I could go watch in the lounge.

My father used to take our kids. He would give them each $20 to bet.

Spouse reported that relatives of hers, a young couple and 2 children, are visiting with other relatives of the wife in Berdyansk, Ukraine.

They are having a good time visiting the beach at Sea of Azov and other nearby water attractions, etc.  Sent a lot of nice pics.

I was surprised to hear that the water is clean.
I thought I had heard/read years ago that the Sea of Azov was very polluted.

Plus, I would  think that area is a little too close to potential flare ups with the Russian invaders.

Anyway, news to me that nice beaches there . . . and strange that I don't recall anyone posting here about visiting the beaches there.

The Sea of Azov outflows to the Black Sea which outflows to the Med so the Sea of Azov is constantly being cleaned out. Maybe the Russians and Ukrainians decided not to pollute it any more?

I wouldn't be surprised if Russia used the Sea of Azov to infiltrate and harass Ukraine. Considering Putin wants the east of Ukraine for a land bridge to Crimea and Moldova I'm surprised Russia has staged incursions via the Sea before.

Spent a few days at the Sea of Azov in Taganrog last summer, everything was very nice.

My fiance has friends in Urzuf, who she visits regularly.  I haven't been told about the water condition - she and her friends don't go to the beach during the day and only go for strolls in the evening.  From the photos the sea coast looks really nice.

The latest word from her is that the border checkpoints are the same as always, but tells me of the occasional casualties from shelling that happens.  The last one she mentioned was a month ago when a father and son were killed in a house that was shelled, near Donetsk.

I think calmissile did a few trips there before he met his wife.

I know there are no fish (not enough for fishing) in the Dnipro around Kyiv, and that’s been the case for at least a decade.

I have spent some time in Berdyansk recently  ( on the beaches) and a little time further east !
The water seems clearer than Odesa and down the coast from there . Odesa also seems to have summer jelly fish invasion to deal with.
It does seem bizarre -- but life  quite close to the actual front lines goes on in a remarkably normal way.

It has not stopped many 1000's of Ukrainians taking their traditional beach holiday -- the destinations all along the Ukrainian coastline -- both Azov and Black Sea boom in summer as Ukrainians overwhelmingly have rejected going to Crimea-- and spent their money in Ukraine since 2014 !!

I think calmissile did a few trips there before he met his wife.

I know there are no fish (not enough for fishing) in the Dnipro around Kyiv, and that’s been the case for at least a decade.

On water quality -- I said above that the Azov seems clearer -- how clean it actually is -- do not know.
Downstream from Kyiv --decent size  fish are being caught ( & eaten!!) & there are certainly a lot of people fishing.
There has been an effort to create beach facilities in cities on the Dnieper  -- with quite good facilities and nice sand beaches . Certainly many people are swimming in it.

I would like to see actual water test results in any given area of the Dnieper before swimming in it . It is an absolutely magnificent river.  I have been swimming in both Azov  & Black seas without issues.
