I hope it is nothing serious and will be over soon!

Thank you Hope it's nothing serious. Maybe a bit tired or it'a seasonal. My doctor is so nice and thoughtful that she allows me to go home as soon as I"ve got my everyday treatment/ I try do do it as quickly as possible so come to the hospital at 7.30 and have everything done by 12.

Hayfever is a bad thing especially in your case when none medication can be taken. I hope your GP'll find something to help you and I'll be thinking about you just to improve your state, as far as thoughts are supposed to be materialistic and can be transported through big distances. So I'll be thinking very-very hard to help you.

NatalyS
Thanks you very much. You are indeed a person with the big heart. I went to GP and she gave me some tablets for hayfever and some practical advices that actually work. She is good. I am taking half a tablet a day and I think it is helping too. Well I know thinking posiitvely helps it too.
Yeah, I hope yours is just seasonal and will be over soon. I started to state the forum users in my prayers as well. I do believe too that good thoughts of smb may make good to that person.

Ayisha
All my kind thoughts are about you!

Are you really live in Lipeck? Are you a teacher? Your english is perfekt! I am serious!

Dear Nina, thanks a lot! I wish my English were better! I' really live in Lipetsk and have been a teacher of English for 37 years. I was lucky to do special language course travelling in the USA for a month.
If you have some problems and I can help, welcome. I've written 12 small books for my students, more than that delivered lectures on methods of teaching English.

welcome to the english speaking club!
My respect to you! There is no limit to the age, when you want to learn something.

I remember one lady when I was doing my Masters degree. She just approached me and my friend who were talking Russian. She was a lady of 65 years old and all her life wanted to learn Russian. She bought a lot of books to learn it but was having a lot of trouble to do it by herself. As in that little town Russian speakers were really random. Besides, she had a serious car accident couple of years ago that made her lost all her memory. She had to learn her mother tongue from the scratch. So me and my friend tried to do our best to help this wonderful lady when we have time after classes. We didn't want any payment from her. She knew where was our student house. She was leaving us a lot of fruits and vegetables from her garden, that was really nice. At the end she could talk a little, and she was doing really well.

All in all, I want to say that what you write is pretty comprehensive keep it this way and you will surely improve

Some pieces of advice dealing with hayfever. The information was taken from the magazine Woman.
1 Try wearing wraparound sunglasses to protect your eyes against pollen grains.

2 Keep car windows and bedroom windows closed. Pollen counts are high at night, due to daytime air cooling, descending, and bringing pollen with it.

3 Wash your hair or have a shower and a change of clothes in the evening.

4 Try HayMax, a cream that's smeared inside the nostrils to catch pollen grains before they enter the nose. Visit
www.haymax.biz

The magazine was sent to me by my dear friend Splattie. Thank you, darling.

Why not! Welcome and enjoy our company!
Oh, you are from Spain. Great! I've been to Barcelona, Blanes, Figeiros (I have doubts about the spelling), Puble (the same ) and some other interesting places in this wonderful country.

Girls, I would like to join you too, very much!! When I read you I understand everything, I wish I could speak English like I speak Italian...My husband and I watch Doctor House, Heroes, Fringe, Lost and other serials or films just to "keep our English in shape" (I am not really sure wether I can say so ) Dr. House is really difficult, I would say difficultissimo for us... I adore this website, and every day every new forum makes me fall in loe with it more and more! Please let me be your friend!
NatalyS

Where are you from in Spain? I`ve been to Alicante, can not forget it....

MARU
Thanks a lot, Mary! It's very kind of you to say that. Your English is rather good. Sorry to say I can't say the same about my Italian, though I bigan to learn it on my own when we were going to the country. Even twice. And when we failed for the second time we decided not to try it again and gave up the idea of visiting the country of my dream. My daughter was luckier: she spent her honeymoon travelling around Italy. Nearly seven years have past since her trip but she rememebers it again and again.
Maybe I'll have another try and be able to speak Italian at least a little.
Happy to see you in our company.

NatalyS
Dear Nataly, I am just happy you answered so quickly! It is interesting to read you. Too bad that you gave up the idea of visiting Italy, I believe it is your third and right chance ("God loves Trinity" we say, don`t we?)I think maybe it is even destiny we met here I started learning Italian on my own too, then I was lucky to know my husband so I could have language practice.
I think you are a very good teacher, you seem to be very kind, you know I am a teacher too (French, English), but now I speak Italian better..fortunately or unfortunately I can not work here as a teacher (maybe only on my own) because our Russian degree is nothing here, but I like teaching in general, explaining things, playing etc..

NatalyS писал(а):

oh, I really believe that! Italy is an amasing country, people, food, wine, culture. We live between Pisa and Florence, I read a lot about the history of Florence, Medici family, Lorenzo Magnifico period, Michelangelo`s life and works..Just adore it...
So restart to learn Italian, come here and I will show you Florence, I will make you love it as I do!!!

MARU
Thank you, darling. It's great to live next to these wonderful cities and have a chance to see this cradle of world culture. This year we are planning to travell to Korfu as far as both my husband and I fell in love with Greece, particularly islands and have already been to Creta, Cyprus (for us it's Greece too) and last year it was Rodos, the most beautiful and hospitable among those we have been to. If the crises doesn't interfere with our plans. My son is travelling to Germany now, then he'll be in Verona and one more Italian city (sorry, the name's just slipped out of my memory). But it's a business trip and I don't think he'll see much for 4 days.

Hello ladies,

It's been a while since my last visit. Sorry about that - I hope you don't forget about me, yet.
I am going a lit bit back in the time to put some responses.

"Hey guys, i'd just like to mention that while I love those books, i have read them several times each. The movie was really a disappointment, it does not capture anything that was important in the books, and its just a piece of crap. It doesnt' even have anything to do with your age, its about the fact that some books just do not translate well into movies. And loads of stuff was left out from the movie and it was just bits and pieces. If in the book, this feels like its this epic love story, in a movie its more of a background to the kick ass vampire action they are trying to implicate to bring people to the movie theaters.
Here I ranted this movie ruined the books for me somewhat."

Dear Veronica, I am sorry that the movie ruined the books for you. I think it happens often when you first had read a book and after see the movie. I saw the movie first and then had read the book - I love it as well as my friends. I would not discourage people to see the movie but again we all have different tastes.

Dear Splattie,

Thank you so much for such a beautiful Ester egg and,well, I hope you had a great Ester!

By they way, girls, how was your Ester?
Did you celebrate it at all?
We had a wonderful time with our friends. It was really hot day (+40C) and we had barbecue outside in the park next to the water. Ha-ha-ha now it is +16 C . Truly amazing!

Dear Ayisha -
Happy 1-st Anniversary!
I wish you a lot of happiness and love in your life!
and I wish you to have happy silver and gold Anniversary as well!!!
The cake you made - I only wish I could test it. Looks so delicious!
And thank you for putting such a spring mood in our pages with your beautiful pictures!

Welcome to all new friends!!!
It is so wonderful that our group is growing and looks like we have people from all around the world! It is so excited!!!

Wishing you all the happy May day !

Do you have plans for any of May holidays?

pushonik
Thank you, darling. English is my profession.
Though I retired last year I didn't quit it. In my case the profession developed from the hobby many years ago and I'm happy to engoy it till now. Don't bother your head about possible mistakes. Not all native speakers know the language so perfectly that don't make a single mistake. It's true about Russians as well. More than that there are so many good textbooks both in English and in Russian that can help you develop correct grammar and give you good examples of correct English. I buy them even now as well as CDs.

To Splattie - It is in Los Angeles.
