NatalyS, ku-ku, my dear! How are you? I'm going to watch Eurovision semi-final now. Are you?

Hi, Splattie,
You kracking me off with ku-ku. , Sorry, hon, I do not laugh on you. I know that this is cultural difference. In America this have a different meaning.
When I just came to US, I had my baby born, and had a lot of doctors appointments and at this time my English was very limited. So I had one of them and one mom was seating with her child. He was so cute and he made some "ku-ku" for me, I respond on his actions and said, "Ku-ku!"
His mom just grabbed him and put him on the side, where I could not talk to him. Off course, I did not understand why she did it. : )) When I returned home, I told my kids about this. My kids started laugh so hard.

In America "ku-ku" means crazy.

Sorry I had being busy or lazy lately.

Hi, NatalyS, nice to see you.
you said that you were learning English in US, where did you learn it?
US is a big country and people are much different then in the former USSR.

I don't think I have enough time to watch anything working as a grandmother for two girls - my grandaughters. They are too active! Now Maha Is watching Cartoons and Nataly is climbing bookshelves to choose a book

No, darling. As for my basic education, I got it in the USSR. I studied in the Far East State University in Vladivostok for 3 years, then got married and moved to Tomsk and studied in the Teachers Training Institute for a year having done two years.
As for the USA I did a month course there. We, a group of Russian university teachers, travelled all over the country and studied. So I was lucky to visit Washington, DC, San Francisko, New York, Denver, Boulder, Leadville, Winston Salem and Chappel Hill. It was a great experience really.

Hiya! I am here!"

Really so! We say "Ku-Ku" while playing hide-and-seek to draw attention to us. Thank you, girls, I've never heard of the meaning before. I'll share it with my students. Great!

Girls, where are you? Nobody wants to speak English?

It looks like every one is so busy.

Dusya
Everyone seems to be working in the kitchen garden. God helps them

Heeeeyyy! Giiiirllllsss!
Did you finish with your gardens yet?
I am tiered to wait. Is something new around? Did somebody got new cosmetic? Did somebody had a good vacation time?

I will have an event on this Saturday. It is about how to create a Healthy Home.
Do you want to hear what I will hear?

I trying to convert my home to a Healthy Home

June will be busy for me, I have three birthdays in this month, probably I will not see you for a while.


One more news.
Did you notice that I am not 39 anymore?

I was laughing while reading about KU-Ku! Girls, this is so fun! Different countries and different way of communication

My friend Anna told me a story about a guy from her work. He is Australian and when he writes an e-mail, he writes "Nah" instead "No". And when Anna said that "nah" is fun for russians, he was confused

Hello, girls. I'm here willing to support the discussian. There's another variant of "no". It's "nope". Conversational.momsbuzz I'm awfully sorry, darling, as I failed to congratulate you. My best congratulations now. It's not too late, is it? You don't look like 40 at all: just a pretty young woman
I have a lot of work to do as far as the cemester is coming to end and I'm looking forward to having my holidays and travelling to the Rodos island. Isn't it a magnificent place to spend two lovely weeks not doing anything at all, just having lazy days by the sea

Why not?! Everyone for his taste

Did somebody got new cosmetic?

Alternate laughter & tears I had new cosmetics. Now I don't after my granddaughter Nataly has searched on my toilet table and made up everything in my bedroom with rather expensive French night cream and cleaned the floor with French perfume. It took me 48 hours to get rid of the flavour that is supposed to be very lovely if used wisely. It's me to blame: she is a very enegetic girl and very inventive too, so she should be provided with different kinds of activity and I was busy cooking.

Hi, everyone,
Thank God you are alive and healthy.


According to posts, we have a lot of News. :Yahoo!


[quote="Splattie"]The same stuff Penelope girl advertises.

Congrads on your new cosmetics. Look great
By the way is it good for the skin? Does it contains talk?

Thank you for the best wishes on my 40. I know that is not the end of the world, I will find some beauty of it, I promise.

Nobody want to hear about Healthy Home? OK I will do it myself.

May I ask you a question? It is not obligate you to anything, just a question. You may answer or not.
Do you ask forgiveness from your children?


My best wishes to you.

Do not be sorry, NatalyS, I told my kids that I am not celebrating my birth dated anymore. I do not feel, that I am 40 at all. Inside I am about 25 not older .

But thank you for congrats. I appreciate it.

Have a blessed day!
