Ken is not originally from S.D.  He and his wife are recent transplants from some Midwest Siberia.

Besides, sure the CA gals are hot, but you don't actually MARRY them.  I mean, GawdAlmighty!  Marry a beach bunny?  What, are you crazy?  They're strictly eye-candy.  The happily married guys find wives from far outside this superficial culture, probably the very gals fleeing your provincial hole-in-the-wall small town.  It's a common pattern.  Young girl fresh out of college arrives in So. CA from the sticks ('cause she don't wanna marry just any local guy back home); finds that her local competition consists of gorgeous sun-kissed California hard-bodies; gets incredibly insecure; and quickly settles down to marry just any ol' local guy.
And cross-cultural and bi-racial relationships are incredibly common here also (to which a half-dozen guys over on the Asian board can attest).

BTW, did you see what LP said about your inane posts? I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

I am not sure the full extent of what you meant regarding LP and his post but  LP agreed with this post and thus the "amazing" subject title. That is how I took it.

Read my diplomatic post on this subject. I do not agree with how he is describing his process and attitudes but hey words can be misleading. I have been misunderstood many a times.

KenC is just being very vocal but I agree with him in principle about rocking the boat over this to get Bill to self examine.

But, on the other hand KenC is being idealistic but, he has lived the talk and thus can say what he is saying. But, unfortunately much of what Bill has said is how this is all done in so many terms by many to varying degrees. First of all many can not afford to do it correct. I would be surprised if KenC was not with me on this - that is why he posted his response - he sees that people are going to get in trouble by not doing things right.

By the way Bill please do not tell that your lady is from the city - please don't - she is a country girl isn't she? Cause if she is not - oh boy - you are stacking the odds against you big time.

I believe Bill's fiancee is from Kiev.

... in response to Re: Yea but man here, posted by Richard on Jan 30, 2002

Married a East German guy where in which they live in German.  After he beat her and she lost her first child, she divorced him.  She return to Kiev one year and then return to Germany working at orchards & greenhouses.

I asked her what's her favorite thing to do?  Picking nuts and berries in the forest, along with mushrooms.

When I was there in June, we harvested their strawberries at the dacha.  She definately has a greenthumb and a strong back.  She even picked some black berries (thornless variety).

When I went about searching for a girl, I wasn't looking at external beauty alone, but what she put on her biography.

Here's what she had listed under hobbies:
fine arts, gardening, reading, movies, children, tourism, fishing.

I'll bet I'm probably the only guy on this message board to have caught a fish out of the Dnipner River!

When we went with her brother, his wife and child on a picnic, we all took turns fishing.  This was serious business with her.  When she was asking me question, she wanted to know if their were any good fishing spots near my house.  My answers was Kentucky Lake, Reelfoot Lake and the Mississippi River.

She told me she prefers to wearing long pants verse dresses.

And you are probably the only man in America who would eat a fish from the Dnipner!  Tell me you didn't Wild Glow Bill.

Bill,

Just make absolutely sure that she understands that you live in the country COUNTRY. I do not care if she likes pickying berries and fishing -  a lot of city girls like that but to keep them out of the city too long will not work for them.

Hey wasn't the fish real small that you caught - as I recall?

I remember the pics i think

But no, I didn't eat the fish... We had some sort of mystery meat and some sort of sauce on it.  I didn't get sick so that's a good sign.

But the fish was about 2 inches long.  I've used bait bigger than it.

Just prior to my visit I sent her brother and her some hooks and fishing line...  When she got out the bambo fishing pole out of the back of the car and about 10' of line.  I kinda took a step back in time.

I felt like Huck Finn.

I've posted photos of where I live at online, so she can see first hand what kind of living arrangements I have.  And shown her on a topographical map where I live at..

You can too, find the number 21 with a circle around it and go up about 1/2 inch.

and I'm in the process of creating a video for which I'll have transfer over to the PAL format to send to her.  So this give her some idea.

The day I start living my life as to what other people think is the day, I quit living for myself.

I make my post interesting and fun to read.  Everybody wants to project a perfect image.  I rather, will say how it is.

Are you pipeing in now because you live in Ft. Lauderdale, the East coast babe capital.  Are you still upset I sent you that e-mail and told everyone on the message board you had a virus on your computer?  Get over it.  

-------------------
Just think of how dull and boring this message board would be if I weren't here.  You can atleast laugh at some of my posts, but as far as the girl is concerned a great deal of though has been put into this.

I'm not about treating people like an object.

KenC. is putting alot of words in my mouth.  I haven't told anyone how I really feel about this girl, I've been using this forum more as a sounding board ~ but without all the facts...

I am definately going to do the 90 day thing.

What do you think her response would be if I said to her, don't come I don't love you just yet.  You'll have to wait until my next years visit so that I can figure this out.

Ninety days is there for a reason.  So that you can bring over the girl that you think is well suited for you and see if she will accept her surroundings and new life.

We've read it here....some want to return home, rather than stay on a hog or chicken farm.  No doubt, I'd leave too...pee-u, those things stink.  

Hey, atleast my garden is creating oxygen.

Alright, I can see it is getting a little too dull and quiet around here if you two, Ken and WildBill, start going at each other.

It is fun to watch LP and Yoe go at it, it is fun (I think)to watch Max/jj and I go at it, it is NOT so fun watching you two go at it!

Sooooo, let me see if I can get something stirred up around here (which shouldn't be to hard for me).

Anyone heard from Claire!!  You know she has to be around. If not here, she has to be trolling somewhere? I don't think she just disappeared.

As spring is approaching all you newly married couples, soon to be married couples, old married couples, single guys looking, you all need to plan some type of acivity in the area you live. Start some type of networking so that your current Russian bride or soon to be here Russian bride, will have someone from her country that she can call on and talk to during that important first six month here. Both her transition, and yours, will be smoother if she has someone else she can talk to while she adjust over the loss of family, friends and country.

Some ladies have no problems with adjustment while others will benefit from knowing a few others.

And oh, yes, still have 63 chevy for sale, but the hanging dice from the windshild have been sold.

I think it would be a good read for everyone, since your the foremost authority on the subject of love.

Have you ever been divorced ?
