Thank you...Yes, BIG time. Entrepreneurial!
 
I now own a few makeshift garages so I can sell some cheap clothing all over California. I am tapping into the 'mobile' mode too so I can have a fleet that can go town to town, you know. Business had been awesome and report tells me there's actually demand for these in Canada as well. LOL. Imagine that.  :D   We're gonna bring down that expensive designer boutique called 'The GAP' soon enough.
 
You wouldn't happen to know anyone who love these types of shopping, do you?

Dude, are you so pussy-whipped that diving down and finding pride and comfort to the nearest skirt to fight your battle is now second nature to you these days?  bla-bla-bla


Not even worth reading past the first line. Just your usual bullying babble  :popcorn:

Oh There you are! The air has got to be stiffling hiding underneath a skirt after a while, eh? LOL.
 
Anyway, how are you? Did some more cardio? Half a pound down and 65 more kilos to go!!! Push, push, push!

Is that your inner demon fighting to get out? Did folks make fun of you during high school? Stayed home at the prom dateless crying to mumski? No one wanna be seen hanging out with you?
 
You gotta let that go, Misha. You're a GROWN man now, LOL ( Emphatically on the word 'grown'). The Prom's behind you now and not much you can do about it anymore.
 
Let it go...

Oh jeeez...you were once a proud, chest-thumping chump that challenged every post posted here as if you knew something you clearly do not. What happened?

 
Having a babushka around to fight your battle trigerred the conditioned response?

However it is important for many men (including myself) to know that my woman is with me not because of the things I can give her but rather because she loves and respects me and wants me in her life. A good, loving woman can inspire a man to work harder and to achieve a lot more in life than he would on his own.

You are russian, right? So I belive you studied "War and Peace" at school and should remember that famous part where Andrey explains a concept of marriage to a young Pier Bezuhov "never marry" etc.. or at least never marry while you are still in love with a woman. Marry when you have stopped loving her and saw her not being blinded by love (my free translation from memory ;D ). Too bad poor a-hole did not follow his own advice. It cost him his life.  ;D  Being in love with your husband is cool. Marrying  a man because of love is purely stupid, but well.. sht happens. To marry a man and move half a world away for love  - is irresponsible. The same plus a child - criminal.

Oh, yes, here are Volkonsky's words

Quote
"Never, never marry, my dear fellow! That's my advice: never marry till you can say to yourself that you have done all you are capable of, and until you have ceased to love the woman of your choice and have seen her plainly as she is, or else you will make a cruel and irrevocable mistake. Marry when you are old and good for nothing- or all that is good and noble in you will be lost. It will all be wasted on trifles. Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't look at me with such surprise. If you marry expecting anything from yourself in the future, you will feel at every step that for you all is ended, all is closed except the drawing room, where you will be ranged side by side with a court lackey and an idiot!... But what's the good?..." and he waved his arm.
Pierre took off his spectacles, which made his face seem different and the good-natured expression still more apparent, and gazed at his friend in amazement.
"My wife," continued Prince Andrew, "is an excellent woman, one of those rare women with whom a man's honor is safe; but, O God, what would I not give now to be unmarried! You are the first and only one to whom I mention this, because I like you."

By the way Pierre married Ellen, who was avid and hunting for his inheritance and title  not because of love, but rather lust and pride being blinded by his wild life in a company of her brother, who was gambler and profligate.

Yes, some people confuse love with lust  ;D

Such stories make me want to puke. I dont buy this romantic bs. I cannot stand people  do irresponsible sht and try to present it as a romantic act made in the name of love. The first reason for divorce in this country is not promiscuity. Its money. People argue and divorce because of money. Or lack of thereof. Financial stability is not 100% of marriage, but its a good basement for a family

I'm not surprised if you want to puke.  :D


They love each other for the qualities and morals they both have and share. They have a wonderful loving family and deal with difficulties together. That's all the matter.

Yes, clothes cost almost nothing.

Many girls in their profiles say that they would like to live in a cozy big house near the ocean.
Even when you live an hour from the ocean, you still can buy a wonderful diamond ring from Tiffany for the price you pay for a cozy house each month.
7K??? Is that what one would pay every month for a cozy house???
What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I've definitely overpaid for my carpet.

For a "cozy big house on the ocean".
$7,000. per month for the mortgage, insurance and property taxes is no problem.

It usually does matter. But in this case it does not, really. He was not thinking straight. If he was, he would have seen her for what she was. Unfortunately it was too late, when he finally did. As old prince Bolkonskiy used to say "поздняк метацца" "Не разженишься".  ;D

Especially when the money were a main goal  ;D Some people are stuck in their unhappy marriages knowing how much the divorce will cost and how far beyond all the limits of decency their partner can go to get a bigger piece. And with all this financial good basement for a family it must be hard to go to the bed with a person you really don't love.

difficulties-smifficulties. I did not come here and certainly did not bring my child here to deal with difficulties. If I wanted difficulties, I would have remained in Russia and had them for free. I wanted - if nothing else - at least a good life with a good man. Love, I repeat, is great as a cherry on top of a cake. But not the cake itself.
