Loool I cannot help it just laugh

Yeah, it was wonderful, very cold but beautiful and who got the warm? I was so terrified fl and his friend shared both half of it crazy men!!!

LOL mhmm, and the bear was just happily strolling down the neighborhood seeing what picknick baskets he/she could come up on

Oh it must of been How far out was that to where u reside at? That worm...I would of passed on it too. One time I did volunteer, more like unwillingly eat it, it was gritty as heck :yuckky: I'd rather empty the bottle and someone else can have the dam worm

donny is a set genius

If you were clever enough to fool them - why not

exactly Anyways what you been up to today

I have been up to work, I´m sorry for not responding on this thread two more exhibitions to come and we´re done with this insanity and stress

How do you and your living issues look like? I hope you got the place!!

Sounds quite cool! Do you get lots of free crap too?

What goes on at the International Exhibition of Defence Engineering?

It's probably not quite the showcase of James Bond style gadgets that I'm imagining, but it sounds interesting all the same..

I know of Pratchett, but I'm really not much of a reader, so I don't know what he's all about. Do tell

That depends on what do you mean by free crap but no, we do not - I don´t know about the sales department (those guys who try to sell the area and stalls) or others, but we (the manufacture) don´t sometimes we march to the exihibitions and get as many pens as we can

It really is interesting - it´s mostly about army equipment (cars to guns to boots and shirts) - many live samples, great prices for great boots and other things. I´m not into army or soldiers at all, but the whole exhibition is so interesting - plus fl loves it and always buys himself a high-quallity boots for really low price considering their material and everything - those discounts are made extra for this event. It´s also very action-like, and afterall it seems I´m an action girl

Oh, Pratchett is all about great humour and fantasy - he is a master of words and stories Dunno why, but I bet that if you were a reader you would love him he is brilliant at making parodies of everything that is happening around - plus, he makes that parody an art and a great book full of bright and witty humour and deep thoughts that won´t come that easy to you. He is like a mirror to this whole world. Check his Discworld:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld

His first book, The Colour of Magic was intended as more or less a parody on fantasy books that take themselves too seriously - Terry himself describes it as "an attempt to do for the classical fantasy universe what Blazing Saddles did for Westerns." It instantly became a bestseller and won many prizes

He is my most favourite author together with Peter S. Beagle - recently the sad news that Terry has an Alzheimer spreaded and were sadly true... he´s also a sir and a huge fighter fo euthanasia in cases of such illneses - he himself said that he feels terrified when thinking he would turn into "no one" - into poor creature not remembering anything... he said he want to die with dignity, with a glass of wine in one hand, in his garden, surrounded by his family, remembering everything good and bad that happened in his life.

He also said that it seems that the illness is getting worse and worse... so he only "encloses" the stories with his favourite characters... and brings them to an end. Recently I´ve read his latest book on Tiffany Aching - it was the saddest funny book for me I´ve ever read. Once you know about the illness, you can sense his farewell in it.

It´s really so sad.

Hello Jennka, how are you? Sounds like you've been having a tough time recently. Sorry to hear that.

I've not been on for a few weeks because my work has changed so, for the moment at least, I can't sit at my laptop for hours when I should be working. I'm posting this from my phone, too slow and many of the fancy buttons don't work (including smilies) but at least I can post without looking too distracted.

Hey Tran thank you for stopping by

Yeah, it´s been quite tough but it simply must end finally and the good things will come. It still could be worse I do have what I need the most, other things will come later.

So you run around a lot now?

I have and work on them when I can .

Do you live with your family at it? And how many animals do you have? I´ve always dreamed about living on a farm

^I suppose it shows commitment to your competition - and I applaud that.

I'd be fine with Candice or the lovely Amber though (although there's surely more than enough Candice sets out there - if I can say that with her "real fans" finding me? ). I suppose I've become a bit of a 'one-woman man' for sets?! I've actually had very few adorn my presence here (Rosie, Inguna, Candice and Mary Elizabeth Winstead off the top of my head). The last time I switched it up, with Marloes, I got a bunch of comments asking what happened!!!

btw your new set is phenomenal - do I sense a donbot´s masterpiece? it´s gorgeous. Yeah, I´ve noticed you´re more of a one-woman man, and I adore that. I change my sets faster than socks (ok, this is a lie, but still it´s pretty fast) - there´s just so many models I love

Long time ago I used to only wear sets with Gisele - but now I love the change

Wow! Who'd have thought Terry Richardson, of all people, was going to win your competition?!?!

I´m always all for surprises he deserves it, doesn´t he?

Hmmm I would like to represent the other side of Candice - the NON VS site which I adore much more

JENKS with a CANDICE SIGGY FOR SHAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

lllllllllllll next ill see lima NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT any plans for the weekend

No, Lima no we were on the cottage, as always - I was tidying up the wood mess on the yard and fl was welding a construction for sifting gravel, and on Sunday we were making a window cills from stones (hard to explain) and jointing them.

I´ll post pics as soon as... well, as soon as I make them

LOL mhmm, and the bear was just happily strolling down the neighborhood seeing what picknick baskets he/she could come up on

Oh it must of been How far out was that to where u reside at? That worm...I would of passed on it too. One time I did volunteer, more like unwillingly eat it, it was gritty as heck :yuckky: I'd rather empty the bottle and someone else can have the dam worm

He was evidently hungry

We resided when we found a suitable place for it I don´t even know many kilometers we walked each day... but I know for sure that it was more than 56km in a whole 4 days - taken that the first day we mostly just drank and ate in a pub

I wasn´t even able to drink it - but they all did so you´ve experienced a worm from the bottle?? Oh my

Ah ha.. so that's where you get all your army hiking gear

That's really sad about Pratchett - Alzheimer's is one of the most horrible things that can happen to a person. It just breaks your heart to think of it affecting anyone, let alone someone with such creativity and appreciation for imagination.

I had no idea he wrote from that humour/parody angle.. I though it was just straight fantasy. I'll definately keep him in mind should I ever decide to become a reader

Yeah, she indeed is. But considering her family it seems logical. Or when I think of Paris Hilton, it doesn´t

I know little of Paris, but it seems to me..like Kim. K. & sisters..that she has no sense of shame. Cara is much more grounded in reality than her. :-)

Do you think you ever will? Be sure to tell me then

I do watch TV only occasionaly too - usually the Mythbusters when I come home and eat and then Spectrum when something good is on. When I want to relax I watch Red Dwarf I mostly use my free time to read or spend it with fl.

Oh, yesterday we´ve bought finally a vacuum cleaner after 3 years of living in the little flat, damn

Yes, I will, and I will tell you when I do.

I have a plasma TV but I don't use it. The internet has supplanted the television to a great extent. In fact, manufacturers of televisions (most notably the Japanese and firms like SONY) are really hurting right now.

You didn't have carpet? Carpet is a must for me, there is no other option. I never wear shoes at home! When I have guests, I order them to remove their shoes immediately

The nature is beautiful

This is a pine forest, right? Once I've had a walk in a pine forest and I liked it because of the very, very pure air.

I agree with Jennka, when you wrote of this...I thought of the pine smell

It's been so long!

I have and work on them when I can .

Do you live with your family at it? And how many animals do you have? I´ve always dreamed about living on a farm

I live in the city now, but I still love to visit family and friends that have one . Its always interresting to me to compare country and city life .

What is "CEO"?

Chief Executive Officer, the highest decision-maker of corporate organizations. It's probably the most overrated job in America, and the management sciences have evolved to the point where we can train and deploy these officers in high level administration. Most of the most powerful ones are no longer individuals who rose through the ranks but rather are 'rent-a CEOs' from the big consulting firms and famous high level training institutions like General Electric Crotonville. It's gotten to the point that under US business law...CEOs and the upper managemnt class have evolved into some sort of embedded capitalist aristocracy.

Hitler was very popular at the beginning of his government - people were crazy about him, writing him letters (even jews) and adoring him, his birthday was a national event. Even after the start of exctintion of jews, he received many letters from jew citizens, perplexed and uncomprehending why are such thing happening, that they were always a good German citizens and admirers of Hitlers´ government. It was actually too sad to watch that documentary. It was called "Letters to Hitler" or something like that.

He was great at manipulating masses but also had a great teacher. Everyone who ever met him told that he was a very charismatic person, he loved chidlren and was very kind generally. Inside of him was a beast, a torn child and a dictator. He was also like a light for all these military commanders that wanted to shine. There were also many sadists in the leading roles of his Nazi groups - war always attracts lots of them.

However, there were also people who really believed in fighting for good thing and weren´t aware of all that bestiality that happened. Also, some of his own officers tried to killed him or wanted to leave when they found out.

I've read a good deal about the Third Reich since the administrative aspects of its economy, military, and government interest me. Its social history is frightening and fascinating all at the same time. The best source on Hitler is British Historian's 2-volume Biography and, in my opinion, Albert Speer (minister of armaments)'s autobio 'Inside the Third Reich'.

I have not read the Kersaw bio but I have skimmed through it. I've read Albert Speer's book.

Long story short, Hitler was a very complex figure embedded into a rigid political apparatus but he was in no way a functional or competent ruler of Germany. Hence the disaster to come.

As a complex figure, he was thoroughly a 'pseudo-philosopher-intellectual' that determined 'General policy' for Germany. As for specifics, he was completely incapable of any of it. The fulcrum of his ideology was an extreme obsession with Race and a thoroughly demented grasp of reality. But this unreality proved highly attractive to at least 1/3rd of the German electorate. In the end, he was just as much of a 'Cult Icon/Cult Leader' as he was a politician. He was a 'non-person' in this way.

He was, like most Nazi leaders, reasonably pleasant in person but also capable of giving out horrific orders.

Here it´s quite different - we´ve always been under the rule of another country (Austria-Hungary) or coupled with another country (Czecho-Slovakia) or, during the wars, under Russia or Germany. Then we separated in 1993 and became a "Slovak Republic" or Slovakia, but with huge bruises after the communism era that lasted for more than 50 years. All these recent politicians are just former communists. Older people have communism in their souls and bodies - we need a new generation that would be free of such gravity. We are a nation of about 6 million citizens and 1 million of it are pensioners - I don´t consider that healthy at all.

We still need to grow and the only thing that soothes me that we have the place to grow in, we still have the future ahead of us. It will be better, but it will take a long time and hard one at that.

The natural, private economy is driven more by diffusion of innovation, secular innovative cycles, and the creation of new markets (and the ability to service them) that results from it rather than non-R&D government leadership. These secular cycles are born more from the sum product of history and they, in the main, do not readily appear by neither government intervention nor nonintervention.

These cycles disrupt and modify the current equilibriums permanently and cannot be reliably forecasted or fully understood. So however bleak, the objective nature has openings, Jennka. It only matters now that opportunities be seized and the people actually...try to build a legal framework where they can actually ...do work. The history of the East Asian Tigers and their rapid material development from 3rd to 1st world in the 20th-21st century- attest to this.

I don't know enough about Slovakia to give you an opinion, but I just don't buy these 'doomsday' proclamations over government debt that has been common in nearly every developed country. There are other types of debt, and other types of productive assets, and parochial focus on this as the only indicator obscures the scope of reality in my view.

btw your new set is phenomenal - do I sense a donbot´s masterpiece? it´s gorgeous.

you run around a lot now?

He was evidently hungry

We resided when we found a suitable place for it I don´t even know many kilometers we walked each day... but I know for sure that it was more than 56km in a whole 4 days - taken that the first day we mostly just drank and ate in a pub

I wasn´t even able to drink it - but they all did so you´ve experienced a worm from the bottle?? Oh my

Ha, that he was. Maybe you should hand him a sandwich or something?

Holy smack...that's some good walking there. Gosh, how important it must be to find the right shoes or else there goes the feet :| Sounds like the first day is my kind of day. What u eat at the pub? As I'm so ever interested in good eats :brows:

Maybe the next bottle will entice u for a few drinks Yep, but at least insects are mostly protein. Surely it was nothing but of good nutritional value right? And if u think a worm in a bottle sounds great....try this below. A nice exotic touch to a once so ever innocent looking lolly pop

Mmmmm, now with 20% more venom!

Erika Kundrotaite: new love :chicken:

I found her while looking for Lithuanian teammates for Edita in the BZ cup of nations

What do you think?

I think you might like Auguste Abeliunaite too. She's still very young (18 this year), but what a face

Go team Lithuania :Dinah:

happy friday Jenks, hows you hunni, and here is a latest pic of my hanna, toni renee, knitted that hat for her, soooooooooooo cute

Me liking this video means that i am about two days away from my first period right?

Bwah haha Yes it's a bit girly/ a tad bit too teenie bopper, but I don't think it makes you any less of a man for liking it. You admitted it now that's manly!!

Hope that made you feel better but maybe it made you feel worse... I have a serious case of foot in mouth disease just so you know

What!?! No Jennka today?? I guess this is what I get for being such an absentee on this thread... though I promise from now on i'll be a bonified stalker of the JENNKA thread!!!!

Ohhh another question for you!!! Do you pay attention to the oscars? If so who are you rooting for?? If you say Clooney I may have to attack you though.... just playing Have you seen The Help? Did you enjoy it? I've yet to see it but I hear it's superb Damn! I just bombarded you with a shitload of questions.

I love stalkers!

I love questions

As for the Oscars... no, not much. I used to watch them when I was on high school, but since then... no. But I really like George Clooney

It seems harder and harder for me to keep up the track with all the new movies and series... I just simply dedicate my time to other things, and for these nothing of my free time is left That´s why Hollywood is more or less "no interest" for me, although I used to be a huge movie fan. But then I started full time working, found a bf, moved to live alone and... well, it was movies or books, and I chose books (there´s like 20 of them still on my waiting-to-be-read list) and when I watch TV, I mostly watch Red Dwarf, Spectrum, Discovery or czech comedies or theathre plays. And when I go to cinema (which is like twice a year) it´s mostly to Disney / Pixar movies

I´m sorry hun. But how about you? You seem to be a huge fan tell me more!

I had to do some serious digging in the crates for this lol

How are you hun?

Yeah I was never all that into the oscars either.... just this year I was hoping my boy would get a nom haha... but he did not

Sooo books huh? What genre are you most into? Me... I love my mysteries Mary Higgins Clarke is my girl

Oh yeah I remember you had a "Tangled" set up once Though to me some of these Disney/ Pixar movies are starting to blend together but i'm still a sucker for a nice Disney movie every now and then

Its funny how there's so much talk about people letting it rip on the elevator and such. On one hand, it is such an enclosed space, but when someone lets it rip on the stairs, some are kindof breathing hard and that air goes right into their nostrails . I've always preferred the stairs, but for some buildings you do have to get there faster than it would allow and no one wants to be smelly for the job of course. I never understood why people can't hold their gas in public anyway and if they're that weak, they should at least go to the bathroom for it.
