I was kind of looking forward to getting the channel that shows the cartoons over there. The last time I was there and had the hardest time adjusting to the time change. I would watch a cartoon called "oggy and the cockroaches" easily one of my favorite things I watched when I couldn't sleep. I have been looking forward to watching them again. I have all the good discovery channels and national geographics already. I can't miss my shark week even though it sucks this year. That really bums me out about the RUtv though. Lee, my best advice on watching Russian TV channels is to get a good sized monitor and a good, reliable high-speed internet connection.... the following is a post I put on the Russian forum a few months ago.----- I've spent about 10 years searching for and watching Russian TV channels online with mixed results. I would find a site that works fine... but within a month or two the connection quality would begin to deteriorate or disappear completely. By FAR the best site I've found is www.worldstreamtv.com . The site has been up for about 2 years now that I'm aware of. Subscribers have access to a large number of radio stations online. As for TV, there are 20 channels available online, including Channel One, RTR, CTC, TNT, NTV, and Vesti. You can watch live streams of programs from these channels, or you can time-shift entire streams a certain number of hours, or you can record specific programs for viewing at your convenience, and many of the more popular programs are automatically recorded and available as Video-on-Demand. If you have a high-speed internet connection, the quality is just like watching TV. They have a number of test links which will allow you to check out the service and quality against your particular internet connection speed. A monthly subscription of $10 allows you to watch live or time-shifted streams. An additional $6 a month also gives you the TV recorder and free access to the Video-on-Demand. You can cancel the service at any time and you keep access through the end of the month in which you cancel. A number of our Russian friends here in America will subscribe in December and January to get access to all of the New Year's programs and then cancel their service because they simply don't have time to watch so much TV. Now that's what I'm talking 'bout! This is real RU tv, not this US made POS. Thanks for posting this up!!!	IgorK	Male	Russia	2009-08-06 13:57:00

For myself I have decided to never go to IKEA when I will be looking into getting furniture. A lot of people like their furniture, including my own older brother, but sorry, it doesn't fly by me. It just looks cheap and it isn't durable.	IgorK	Male	Russia	2009-08-06 13:42:00

Congrats Igor. Maybe mine is stuck to the back of yours and my approval will come today? I hope so. Hope hope hope so. Was it an email? Just check the USCIS website? You are next! We have the same date. I got an email from uscis. At first I started thinking what did I buy yesterday because it said "receipt bla bla bla" in the subject line. Hang in there, you will get it next!

Thanks. Igor, I'm sorry they don't have it yet....but they are working through Feb still...there isn't much you can do but wait...I hope tomorrow is your day, but if not, it should be soon. You can also head to your congressmen's site and start getting ready to ask for their help (at 6 months). Hopefully you just get your approval SOON! Also you should be able to bring the papers. But if your fiancee needs to send them in to the embassy prior to the interview, it might be better to just get them to her early.... Dave Dave, thanks for your support and help!

I will gladly drink with you tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be toasting to getting past this part of the process instead of still waiting for some drone in some cube to get around to deciding when I get to be with the one I love. It's the not knowing that wears me down. If I knew that it would be another few weeks or a month or MORE I would gladly wait. Or I would get on a plane and just go for another visit. As it is, being at the mercy of a damn email or letter in the mailbox is driving me nuts. Amen.	IgorK	Male	Russia	2009-07-30 20:15:00

I really want to get my SO a beautiful ring, but I want to bang my head against the wall. There is nothing available besides "rock placed on a ring" type of design (if you can call it design at all). I want something beautiful and unique. Might have to end up looking for one when I am in Moscow. Same goes for rings... I've looked through hundreds of pages - nothing that would make me want them. Unfortunately they do not design rings from the man's point of view, but the American Woman's point of view a rock on a ring... and the bigger the rock the better.... That's exactly why I am against engagement rings. Have you checked out Etsy? There are tons of creative people making unique jewelry. And this guy here makes really beautiful rings, too, and you can also order them long-distance: http://www.surprisegold.com/ Not cheap, but more economical than a big rock, and MUCH more unique... I personally am in love with his work. Much less expensive, and also very unique are the rings from this site: http://www.turtlelovecommittee.com/ There's many options besides the "classic" American engagement ring! I love the second link. I just forwarded it to Oksana. That is what I am looking for. I despise wearing jewelery in general so I said I wanted to pick something that is low key and looks comfortable. Thank you for the links. I have been driving myself crazy for something like that. I'm glad you like them! We couldn't order from them because they don't seem to make my size (I have VERY small fingers, less than 4.5 -- although I didn't check if they do custom sizes as well). But I do think the Turtle Love Committee rings rock! I have no earthly idea what Oksana's size is. She is little, but not extremely so we should be ok. Pending her approval of course. It's just not that big of a deal to me. If you know of any other sites like that I wouldn't hate you for posting them here. Lee, I'd like to warn you that even though there is a conversion table for sizes US vs EU, things are still off. Make sure when you buy, you can re-size or just pick something while Oksana is there to try it on.	IgorK	Male	Russia	2009-07-30 13:43:00
