United Kingdom	Wedding Planning from the UK Chat	Sundrop, sorry if I upset you, I didn't mean to	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-14 01:23:00
United Kingdom	Wedding Planning from the UK Chat	I was just trying to help you out so you wouldn't get into a problematic situation with your friends because I've never heard of someone expecting wedding guests buy their own meal. Your divorce has nothing to do with that. Just say you thought of that and everything is perfect	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-14 00:58:00
United Kingdom	Wedding Planning from the UK Chat	Well, my post wasn't actually inappropriate. I just thought it would be helpful to let Sundrop know, that if she wants her guests to pay their tab, she should probably mention it on the invitation. Whose post is inappropriate is Malrothien's post in the Signature restriction thread where she told people to shut up which I reported. And that post is still there.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	invitation for my parents)))	Haha, just about anybody can write such a letter of invitation and without the notarization it can as well be fake so what? We did it that way and the entire family got their tourist visas and came here for the wedding...There´s no reason to be ticked just cuz a piece of paper is notarized OMG	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2008-04-21 10:16:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	invitation for my parents)))	They should try to get the tourist visa Corey should write them a letter saying that he would like to invite them for your wedding and when and where you are getting married etc. It´s nice if he can get it notarized so it´s clear who it´s from and add a copy of his passport or something. They could also show the wedding invitation Good luck	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2008-04-20 23:40:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Why men are happier (written by a man, of course.)	Sounds like a drunk 5 min midnight Vegas wedding Did you write it like that cuz you like it or cuz you don´t? I´m a bit confused Well if someone wants to have a trashed wedding I guess it´s their choice and as long as it makes them happy Cuz happiness is what this thread is about	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2008-04-20 16:18:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Why men are happier (written by a man, of course.)	I don´t devide world between men and women and it depends on a person if they are happy or not...not on their gender I could add a lot of other stuff but for now I´ll just add that in other countries than USA women rent their wedding dress and guys buy their wedding clothes...so everything just depends on an individual so there	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2008-04-20 15:13:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	V-day vs W-day	Facts straight? Here's what I found about IWD. "Started as a political event in USA, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc)." There, fixed that for you	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-13 22:15:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	V-day vs W-day	I have a question for experience RUBers regarding Valentine's day: Should I buy my wife gifts and flowers on Sunday, February 14th, or should I better wait until Monday, March 8th? You don't need to buy anything. When will people get that special times or holidays can be special without robbing the bank and killing each other in the stores? Commercialized much? However, I will buy my wife some new high heels with rainbows, diamonds and unicorns	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-13 03:17:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	V-day vs W-day	Maybe Valentine's Day once meant something, but for me it has become a silly excuse for a holiday. "Oh my, what a surprise, flowers and candy!" Maybe you could change it up a little or is your fantasy that rusty? As for celebrating Int. Woman's Day, it's a Soviet/communist holiday and I will not salute my old enemy. Maybe for some it has become a harmless tradition, but I don't surrender my history and values to briefly please my wife. I am not a Russo-centric husband. Seriously dude, learn your history. USA is the originating country of IWD (it's not just steaks, waffles and manly talk, afterall) and it's celebrated all over the world, not just Russia. Oh, and there's an Int. men's day too if you cared to know, but I bet you are too of a wuss for that	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-13 03:04:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Guns and Pie	Except for when you complain about how much snow you have to shovel cuz of her high heels and sports car.	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-03-19 23:51:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Guns and Pie	What are you talking about? Just buy her a ticket to Spain and meet her there. Who would possibly want to travel to Russia?	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-03-19 15:05:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	Yes, why was it closed?	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-26 22:08:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	Regarding the closure of the re-started threads in the RUB forum - once a thread has been closed by a moderator there is a proper process to follow to bring a complaint about the decision to the attention of administration. One can expect that blatantly ignoring that process by re-starting a thread that was closed for TOS violations not once, not twice, but three times will have consequences, the most basic of which is the re-started threads are closed and will remain closed until Administration has had a chance to review the original thread. Bullying doesn't change the process. That's a nice theory. In reality though, it works like this: 1. Charles isn't supposed to "come in contact" with Mox. He chooses to do so and baits Mox for no reason in a thread that was not violationg the TOS. 2. Charles decides to close threads (not just this one) out of "prevention". He doesn't state that TOS have been violated and doesn't point at the violation itself. 3. I report Charles for this kind of behavior, he answers the report about himself, which is no answer at all. A different mod should handle reports about someone, who is a mod. 4. I report that to Ewok. Ewok doesn't respond. 5. I report to Ewok again, Ewok doesn't respond. Noone is blatantly ignoring your mentioned process, but it just simply doesn't work even if we try. So if you would like to make sure that the theory works and Charles gets suspended for all his inappropriate behavior, then fine. He should also issue a public apology to Mox.	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-26 21:43:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Some people are such big meanies!	I believe it was the other way around...I believe Charles was baiting Mox.... True. But it's not allowed to talk about Charles. Or Nessa for that matter. Right now, you are facing a ban for mentioning his name Like I said months ago...Charles getting any kind of "power" is the worst idea ever. Mr. Ewok doesn't seem to care at all. He always lets Charles do whatever he wants. He doesn't even respond to reports, pms or complaints about Charles's behavior posted through the contact form.

Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Flower Power	The continuing problem...private comments posted to a public forum. I don't care about your skin tone. I don't care about "cloud berries." I don't need to hear from Jordan. That's not part of the FSU. What's next? How long is your Burka? Reported.	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-20 22:14:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Flower Power	That's not completely true. A lot of people know the "Can you speak -- insert certain language?" in different languages and know how to answer to that. That doesn't mean they can actually speak the language.	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2010-02-08 11:50:00
Russia, Ukraine and Belarus	Flower Power	Oh, Alla is prissy, she has no problemns with bugs, dirt. Oh, that must be why she is still sticking around. Alla loves gardening. She puts on shorts, halter top and low heels. Now that's low. My wife loves gardening with high heels on. Alla had a mini-van, she learned to drive a mini-van. It was a good practical All Wheel Drive (important in Vermont even for civilized roads) with a set of winter tires on rims, and good for hauling a teenage son and all his friends to various places. But then she saw a Pontiac Solstice and she shrugged off her soccer mom van and now will zoom around with a top down sports car! (when it is warm enough...maybe three weeks in July) I have to admit it is damn fun to drive but the thing gets stuck in snow on the driveway...not a good Vermont "winter car" and I am getting a bit tired of pushing her out of the driveway every morning. She lets me drive her car to get gasoline. It could carry a 10' board if you slung it under the car and tied it up to the bumpers. And if it was a 1x board. A 2x4 would probably drag the ground. Anyway that's what the van and my truck are for. If you don't think this whole thing is just plain silly then don't complain about pushing her out of the driveway and be grateful she lets you drive the car to get gas.

Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	name change after marriage	Just do what your heart tells you to do. If you aren´t really comfortable with a name change then don´t do it. It´s not bad to keep your name at all and nobody will judge you by how you decide.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)	Anybody still waiting for case number from NVC after 5 weeks??	QUOTE (Wes&Steffi @ Nov 17 2007, 10:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks gus for your nice words. With it being a 130 approval it has to go through certain step at NVC before they can send it to the embassy. My husband finally called our congressman in georgia on thursday and they requested the approval notice via fax and called him last friday and said they were on it. It cant be this much longer. I was hoping after almost 6 weeks we would be almost through with the whole process at the NVC and it could continue to the embassy, but I did hear that it takes longer right now because of all the petitions they received before June and July. I was just hoping to be home by christmas. But no hurry...I just gave birth to our second child here in Germany on October 29th and I was last week at the consulat for him to get his american birthcertificate abroad and now we have to wait for his amerian passport as well. I hope things are going well for everybody else.... by the way is the NVC closed on thursday AND FRIDAY next week??? or just Thursday? Keep your chins up Congratulations to your new born baby Well we all pretty much assume everyone is taking Thur-Fri off but who knows...there were quite a lot of guys approved on Columbus Day Holiday Good luck	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2007-11-18 02:48:00

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What is the worst they have done ?	QUOTE (aidap @ Oct 25 2007, 01:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't believe anyone was looking for someone to give justification. But, you're right, everyone seemed to feel the need to justify themselves. Why? One can only wonder... Haha...listen...if you have something against internet and/or people who talk to each other using internet then why are you here? Hello? This is an internet site...	Ovaltine Jenkins	Not Telling	Czech Republic	2007-10-25 11:20:00
K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	What is the worst they have done ?	I get a little bit of feeling that some people who don´t meet their SO on the internet are trying to make people who did meet on the internet guilty for something....Why should someone feel guilty and try to justify their choices and life? It was only like 100 years ago when parents used to tell their kids who they have to marry...so what´s that about? Parents were looking for a good (hopefully rich) family to gain more land, cattle or whatever from that marriage. That changed and people make their own choices now. People get married cuz they love each other. Some people though get married for other reasons...somebody gets pregnant, they get married...somebody wants money so they try to marry someone rich...etc...people get married for all sorts of reasons everywhere in the world no matter where they are. And people have always met in all sorts of different places...school, job, club, dancing classes, all sorts of classes, in the park, in a hospital, in the library...there are people who go grocery shopping with the intent to find somebody single to hook up with...or whatever. For the last 10 years internet spread all over the world and so people go there and meet new people too. Play games there together instead of sitting together in the same living room and playing on the same machine. Internet made all distances small. You get lotsa cool information, you get to meet new people. Some of my friends go online to meet someone new from our town and then go out together to do whatever...do some sport, hiking and things...not always people who you already know share the same interest with you, so you go and find new people who share that interest with you. Everytime you meet somebody new the person is new to you and where you meet it doesn´t matter...it depends on what you do after you meet...you keep in touch or not...you become friends or not...you fall in love or not...Why should somebody apologize for talking to somebody on internet? Would it be better for them to just go get drunk in a club and wake up to a stranger next morning and then find out they are pregnant? Seriously...
