I often ponder about Belarus - what happens after Lukashenka. I hope it can avoid the Ukrainian path.

And as a silver lining, I got to hear my Ukrainian politics teacher speak Finnish for the first time, when he commented on the issue on national TV. I wonder why he always refuses to speak Finnish with the students, because he spoke it well.
If you haven't already, check out Kjell Albin Abrahamsons Vitryssland : 89 millimeter från Europa and UKRAINA YKPAÏHA - Öster om väst, väster om öst.
I don't know if they're translated but I know you read swedish.

Cool, thanks for the suggestions! I don't remember hearing from those before. The titles sound interesting, especially the Vitryssland title makes me wonder what the 89 millimeter are. :)
 
You know what? I seriously get why people dislike the US, and Americans who bitch about their own country. I'm not of a patriotic personality type and I usually see the positives in most countries.

But hell...I do NOT understand the hate levied against any nation. Even when it's run by a terrible awful government, it's kind of ridiculous to hate the people being shat on in that country. it's certainly not the geology's fault, which can still be appreciated no matter what human is pretending to own it.

Seriously, folks, NO country is perfect. Every country has its problems. Of course American Problems are frustrating to an American trying to deal with them...I've heard those same problems in other countries (or worse). I've heard people in countries with the alternatives bitch about how they wish they were more like the US. The grass is greener on the other side. And it'll ALL taste shitty if you don't get the fuck off the hater-ade.

Maybe I need even more comedy - or something. It's still almost two weeks before I start doing the chemo thing and I'm already seeing a change in my relationship with food. I'm not feeling much of the usual physical manifestation of hunger, but I find myself going for odd food choices at odd times regardless. As in, I bought some frozen toaster waffles at Trader Joe's (whole grain, if that matters) and I had two of them this afternoon for a snack. And there's a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese Dinner waiting for me in the cupboard. Who has a good wine pairing for Kraft Dinner?

any wine.
 
I'm just going to slip in here and say I just spent the most delicious, lustful, squeal-worthy few minutes looking at the spring collection of my favorite couture lingerie company on the planet. And then reality caught up with me, so I closed the window like a good girl. 'Cause, ya know, really have no business drooling over bra & pantie sets that cost as much as a car payment.

Moving on!

God I miss playing with real lingerie...

as a true lingerie master, how do you feel about putin and his 6% cotton in the panties dance?

i lurk your lingerie threads and posts.

Sounds like comfort food (from childhood maybe?)

I'd say any boxed wine would go well with Kraft Mac n cheese.

That's fascinating...

Apparently, it's a weird way of trying to prop up the cotton industry there? Which, sort of makes sense from the fiscal argument made - $4 billion a year industry, but 80% of that money is NOT going to companies and designers in Russia. So, in a knee jerk way, it makes sense. I guess. Because you know, the average bottom will take less than 1/4 yard of fabric - THAT'LL save the day!

But I suspect what they will find that a black market will evolve. Women who know how to sew (or know people who know how to sew) will figure out how to make pretty undies at home. Or maybe I just think weird...

Because my first thought was "damn... I could draft a pattern from bottoms I already loved... thrift stores (old clothes) could be a source of pretty materials with enough stretch... they can't exactly outlaw elastic... if they do, just make side tie bikinis... could always go back to button side tap pants in silk with lace trim... that's what a lot of panties were in the 30s... I wonder how hard it would be to learn to draft lingerie..."
 
Saturday I lost a patient, but was happy I gave the family a few more months (when they were all but ready to euthanize then).

Today, I lost a patient I've only had for a little over a week. A beautiful cat (inside and out) who was such a good animal that even our tech that doesn't like cats loved him. His owner is a wonderful, amazingly GOOD owner and just a plain ol' nice lady. And we lost him in hospital this morning, and we were both in tears to each other over the phone. We'll probably cry tomorrow when she comes to clear her bill and select an urn for him.

I have such mixed feelings about my profession. I'm glad I can be there for these people and give their pets at least some improvement and relief...but by hell it HURTS xD

I have owned at least 1 cat all but 3 years of my life and I very much appreciate your profession. We recently adopted a Maine Coon cat with a heart murmur whose previous owner gave him up when he found out he was it. Our vet has been so helpful and compassionate.

Thank you for all you do.
 
Popping in from Bahia Ascuncion in Baja to say hi! How's everyone doing around here? I have internet for a few days so I can actually catch up. :)

Or, you could make lingerie as fancy as you wanted, with a Russian cotton shield that comprises exactly 6% of the fabric. On sheer undies that are supposed to show every detail they cover, it could be tacked in with a basting hem, so the buyer can easily remove it...

Been in the field for almost 15 years.
I feel you.
:rose::rose:
 
Aww, nice to know one person remembers me. ;)

What up DGE? I miss the laughs you provide. :heart:

My new gig is making me much more boring and much happier. Soooo glad I decided to close my Typewriters 'N' VHS repair shop and go in a different direction.

Also sick today with some kind of feverish jungle rot, so stay away.

How long are you on the road?

LOL. I know all about being boring and happy. Funny how that works.

I will keep away from your feverish rot. Get better soon.

I am on the road until the end of April. Then home for a few days, then back on the road. And so it goes. Keroin 101.

Just tonight while I was making dinner I thought about posting up to see if anyone had heard from you. No foolin! I did.

Feverish jungle rot sounds bad...

Thank you, and you as well, Thandi :) I'm sure I speak for all vets and vet nurses that we really can't hear this enough. The wonderful lady I spoke of came by today to pay her bill and pick her kitty's urn. She also brought us a MASSIVE box of chocolates xD I love good clients.
