I decided to post my message here on top too, some times when threads are endless and several days away it is hard to find whether somebody reacted on your post.

so here is my message again, you were asking about my 'sister' :-)

Sister? What sister? :-) I am the only child! :-)
If you are talking about a lady in the blue jacket holding Andre, it is my mom, she is... well you guess...:-)

She is getting married tomorrow to an AM in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for compliments, it is very nice

... in response to Actually, I mis-read, posted by MarkInTx on May 24, 2002

Hi,
I thought later that you must be talking about Leigh, yes, she is one of three Lance's sisters. She married an American.
My mom had a profile in www.match.com and Mike, her fiance, found her profile himself and contacted her first. She used to choose and send introductory letter and correspond with men, but this time it was vice verca but any way the same way 'through the internet'

We with Lance met exactly the same way, I sent introductory letter to lots of guys and he was just one of them. And i was just blessed by God that Lance appeared and answered my letter during my let's say first attempt of sending my intro letter. You can actually read the details going to my website and clicking on Our K1 Story, it is in Lance's part of the website. You will find lots of useful K1 and INS and phone cards links too.

I am so glad that internet has become the necessary means of meating and corresponding, and started to be more realistic even in Russia. No matter what they say for me it worked perfect, i specialized exactly what i want in a man and founnd him, don't have to acept any minuses in him because there are no any minuses. And also through writing letters it is so convenient to learn about each other, to convey your thoughts, ideas, values, goals, desires. And physical things don't interfer and distract your attention.
Lance is a pretty shy guy, it was much easier for him to express himself in writing and he is doing it much better in writing than live :-)...

Oh I forgot to say, their address is Homer City, i think they live in a country side in the teritory called Brush Valey. That's cool you are from Pittsburg too. :-)

Best wishes and God bless in your search,

Anastassia
