    I am packing for different reasons (; (; (;

    Yes, The pink and black title caught my eye too.

    Hope all is well. I will write some emails and posts later and then soon birthday party and then the big trip.

    Cbw, shattered is right you should be on vacation. I do not blame anybody for wanting to be on vacation too.

    Some guy at work was so jealous he was actually pulling pranks on me all day Friday and yelling over to me saying have a nice last day a--h---. Oh well. Lol

    Love you all,

    So is this where everyone is hiding? I hate moving... I think you and I are doing the same thing start... unpacking.

    Oh Myth... I haven't seen you in a long time... you are moving too? Poor baby, I am up to my knees in empty boxes... I am so almost done. LOL I am the only unpacker out of 7 people, if anyone puts anything away it has to be me. They all count on me to know where everything is. I feel about 100 years older with this move though, my buns hurt from too many trips up and down the stairs, in and out of the house. My back ohhhh, my back. I hope you get done smoother than I have. It has been a rough rocky road this time around. I hope this is the last for at least 10 or 15 years. Got to stay put. How are you sweet?

    Myth
    Tired... still unpacking. The reason I haven't been around is because I had to renovate my house to be able to move into it. I've been sanding floors and restaining and finishing them. Painting all the walls. Getting ready for the new windows to be put in. It's been rough. Now we got the old rental cleaned out and we're here. The kids are little troopers and are adjusting well, thank god. I'll post some before and after pics once I get them uploaded. Now I just have to unpack a 25' x 25' room. I am so not looking forward to that... And on top of it all I'm going to be baby sitting a second set of twins a month or so younger than mine... Most people look at me like I've lost my mind when they hear that... lol... What can I say I love children... Well I may go to bed... maybe.

    My best friend is Russian O and they are fasting right now, and fast a number of different times throughout the year. I don't know many people who are Russian O, so I thought maybe you were. It is a very intense religon.

    Tusc,
    I didn't know that, I have not heard of Russian Orthodox (is that Christians or Jews?).
    BTW, I am a muslim and we fast one whole month(obilgatory) every year as part of the 5 pillars of Islam.:)
    We also have fasting days throughout the year, which is optional and only those who wish can fast and others may leave it.

    I know that in the city near my hometown there is one rather large Russian Orthadox Church. They are Christian. I can't tell you a heck of a lot about the religon, but I know that my friend's family set a place at the table for Jesus on certain holidays, they do not follow the western calendar, their Christmas is actually around Jan 7th. I can't think of the name of the calendar that they follow.

    Sorry I can't be of more help/

    Thanks for trying,

    Muslims also have a different calender and the fasting month arrives at different times each year on the western calender.

    Morning pretties...
    Rusian O... some of the most beautiful churches in the world if you ask me. In Alaska I rembemer driving by small towns and those were the oldest best looking churches around.
    Fasting is going good Firmy? Oh so good sweet. All the rest of you... Good Morning.

    You are so correct Start. They are beautiful. I was at a Russian O wedding a couple of years ago. The symbolism was amazing. The bride and groom are crowned, the family walks around them holding candles. It is exquisite.

    Hi everybody!

    I saw the stuff about the Russian O and it took me back. I grew up in Alaska and remember there are, or were, still pockets of Russians living all around my home town of Homer (south central AK) They almost always wore very bright colored clothes and were devoutly religious. Huge ceremonies at wedding, too. The nearest thing I've seen since was a Greek wedding a friend invited my to while in New Hampshire.

    The Greek Orthodox and the Russian Orthodox shared a church in my city for a long time. I think there are a lot of similarities between the two.
  • Sep 25, 2007, 06:40 AM
    CaptainRich
    That's interesting. I do know they both have tremendous beauty in ceremony...
    And that's kind of cool they could share a church!

    Hi Cap'n, I remember on the way to Homer from Anchorage, that is where I saw most of the churches... I remember a really old one and only the frame and tall steeple were left. I wonder if it is still there. I think some where by Anchor Point or right before...

    Let me tell you those Russian O's can drink! And many of the girls take Ukraniane dance that is neat to watch. My friend's little sister used to do that and it was very cool.
