Да!

LOL - no, seriously, we were connected through eHarmony. We will meet in a month in London.

She told me a funny story about the way Russians are talking about what's going on with Crimea. Do you remember in the Olympics opening ceremony that there was a lady helping to carry the torch that the news media pointed out was romantically linked to Putin? Well, a few weeks ago, they had a meme going around that was a picture of her saying (basically) "I wanted CREAM (like face cream)!!!"

So, yesterday, she sent me the new one. It's a picture of the same girlfriend. This time, she's saying "I want a cart." This is Нужна коляска - which is pronounced Noozhna kolyaska.

So, the joke is that she's thinking "I need a cart" and because the word for "cart" sounds like "Alaska" the smaller caption reads "I'm afraid to tell him."

Funny joke, but my thought was - what would Obama do if Putin actually did send troops over into Alaska? Scary though, huh?

what would Obama do if Putin actually did send troops over into Alaska?

Would working Alaskans applaud the tax cut?

Russian women are scarier by far. Russian women are used to dealing with drunk, belligerent, violent Russian men. They are not inherently born with the Off switch for that.
One of my students was adopted from Ukraine, Two of them were adopted from Russia. Even they scared me. One of the Russians is an MP now.
Of all the Eastern European kids I have taught(10 total), all were in orphanages because their moms were in prison for murder, usually their husband.

Obama wouldn’t have to do anything, the Alberta boys would take care of it.
