Derek -

Where do you study and when? Where are you now? What do you do?

Sasha,

In the event that I ever fail to do so adequately again, I want to
thank you for rekindling my interest in things Russian. I have begun
to remember that I didn't spend 5 years studying the language because
I fell in love with words that had 5 consonants stuck together. It
always came back to the history, culture and people.

So thank you. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your posts, have been
reminded of what I had forgotten, and have learned some things new.

I did my undergraduate work at the University of Kentucky. I majored
in Individual & Family Development and Family Resource Management. I
got cheated out of a minor in Russian because, at the last minute,
they told me that I couldn't use an independent study course for
credit toward a minor. So when I had a year to kill before graduate
school, I worked part time and completed the courses I needed to
finish the degree in Russian studies.

Now, I'm in Minnesota. I have been in graduate school for the last 10
years - both MA and, currently, a stalled Ph.D. - in Family Social
Science. Unfortunately, in the mean time, I lost my opportunities to
practice speaking in Russian and have forgotten much of it, although I
did immediately recognize the roots of "podstakanik".

I currently work from home on a contract with a local social service
program to coordinate a family education program for Somali refugees
in the Twin Cities. This allows us to keep our toddler at home rather
than dumping him in daycare. Of course, he's also the main reason the
Ph.D. stalled.

In my spare time, I like to pretend that I'm knowledgeable about tea.

Tea from samovar is always boiling hot. It does not cool down fast in large
teacups. If you put it in a saucer it cools down.

I spent 10 years in the Southwest working and visiting reservations.
If you traveled Saturday nights on back roads you drove no faster than
headlights because people passed out in middle of road. I think
Indians use alchohol for induced visionary stupor because of a gene.

Back to tea glasses - I just can't help mentioning two of my favorite
words, which are relevant he "finjan" and "zarf". A finjan is a
handleless glass or ceramic container for drinking tea, and a zarf is
a kind of metal holder for it. These are Arabic. I don't know the
Russian, but I imagine that Sasha can tell us.

Alex Chaihorsky wrote:

Real tea-drinkers wouldn't do that to a good tea. However there is one
popular anti-cold remedy - raspberry preserve with very hot tea right before
bed that makes you sweat hard while you sleep and really helps to get rid of
cold and wake up and go build socialist paradise like nothing happened.


Well, that's the trouble with a socialist paradise - nothing ever
happens (if I get a visit late tonight from a guy named Levrenti and
am never heard from again, I'm counting on you to raise a fuss).

Anyway, what's wrong with a bit of raspberry preserve in a strong
breakfast tea? At Madison's farmer's market (and I bet at one near
you too) one can find farm-canned preserves of such epicurian
sultriness as to dim the memories of even Sasha's apparently decadent
youth. You have my permission to buy a jar and put a teaspoonful in
your tea. Get a loaf of fresh bread or a scone while your there too.

Last, as long as I'm riding a train of irrelevance here, why would you
say that Russian Jewish women drive you crazy? I'm married to an
American-born but pure blooded specimen and (in case she's reading
this) must say that she is as meek as a lamb. No trouble at all. My
thinning hair, stagger, nervous tics, extreme reactions to loud noises
and spontaneous weeping are all due to other causes.

Your obedient servant,

Rick.

I am not very knowledgable about Arabic culture (Alas!) but I always thought
finjans are coffee cups. Israelis also call a large coffee pot (with a
bird-like beak and a metal handle a finjan. In Azerbaijzhan peopel drink tea
from small glass or chrystal glasses which have a "waist" which make them a
little bit like hourglass shape, but these are no finjan and they are not
used with any zarfs.
And these are just small pieces oif my ignorance for the mountains of your

I am very glad to hear about your happy marriage. If Her Highness would read

accuse every lady of Hebrew descent of being an intolerable, loud,
opinionated, jewelry-greedy and loud (or did I mentioned loud before?).
However, for reasons unknown to me, among Russian women these treats are not
distributed evenly and are much more common among the descendants of former
Egyptian slaves. However we also have to say here that on the bed of
passion, Jewish women of Russia retain the ancient vigor which is not at all
tempered by post-Mosesqian piousness (due to growing up in an atheistic
society?) and can make you completely forget about the previously-mentioned
shortcomings. No need for home gym if you have one of these ladies share
your house. But I (as a Jewish boy) still very much recommend a Slavic
Russian lady with the eyes full of deep-gray pool waters, her heart made of
kindness and tenderness itself, her smile capable of stopping a raging water
buffalo. And yes, you will experience plenty of love and passion, but in a
less WWF manner
http://www.wwe.com/ You spontaneous weeping WILL go away. And may be even
you tic.
But nothing better than Russian Jewish wife if you want to better yourself,
be challenged, educated, learn how to expect a nuclear attack at any moment,
develop a feeling for threatening flying objects, fight ten adversaries
blind-folded and develop a stomach of pure iron. If you can withstand this
training for more than several years, all the Special Forces and Blind
Samurai in the world will be not good enough to wipe your ass. In skill of
which, BTW, you will also be thoroughly trained.

HAH! I say- HAH!

If you want a woman with a face like an angel and a nature that is
passionate and roiling, African-Americans are the best. We are dependable,
loving and kind, and we can usually cook up a storm. The men who love us
may gain a few extra pounds, but they'll be well fed and happy. Of course, I
wouldn't advise annoying us- objects have been known to move at light speed
on occasion. Also, titanium razor blades have been known to be dull next to
our tongues- there's no need for circumcision before meeting us, because
there's a good chance you'll lose some of your foreskin over time anyway.
Some of it will get worn away from all the hard use anyhow, which will also
help you wear off the pounds from our cooking.

shortcomings. No need for home gym if you have one of these ladies share
your house. But I (as a Jewish boy) still very much recommend a Slavic
Russian lady with the eyes full of deep-gray pool waters, her heart made

of
kindness and tenderness itself, her smile capable of stopping a raging

water
buffalo. And yes, you will experience plenty of love and passion, but in a
less WWF manner

even
you tic.
But nothing better than Russian Jewish wife if you want to better

yourself,
be challenged, educated, learn how to expect a nuclear attack at any

moment,
develop a feeling for threatening flying objects, fight ten adversaries
blind-folded and develop a stomach of pure iron. If you can withstand this
training for more than several years, all the Special Forces and Blind
Samurai in the world will be not good enough to wipe your ass. In skill of
which, BTW, you will also be thoroughly trained.

HAH! I say- HAH!

If you want a woman with a face like an angel and a nature that is
passionate and roiling, African-Americans are the best. We are dependable,
loving and kind, and we can usually cook up a storm. The men who love us
may gain a few extra pounds, but they'll be well fed and happy. Of course, I
wouldn't advise annoying us- objects have been known to move at light speed
on occasion. Also, titanium razor blades have been known to be dull next to
our tongues- there's no need for circumcision before meeting us, because
there's a good chance you'll lose some of your foreskin over time anyway.
Some of it will get worn away from all the hard use anyhow, which will also
help you wear off the pounds from our cooking.

Majority of us, white guys unfortunately never had a chance to experience a
black lady companionship in normal circumstances, because even when it
happens, the scene is so overloaded with cultural, racial and behavioral
obstacles that minefield walking on Kosovo-Serbian border feels safer.
In addition to that, the black community does not look favorably on this and
it never tries to hide that. Whites honestly want to look like they are all
for it, but the negativity shines through, however the effort to hide it
(both from themselves and from the couple). Knowing that, TV networks never
show anything that would be seen as a mixed-race romancing, and there is
more realty in these "family" shows that in all "reality" shows taken
together. What a hypocrisy.

Sashay.
