It was in context of you translating. I'm sorry you think being Polish is insulting. Are you kidding me? It is not about being anything. It is about on a middle of 3 pages of heating discussion YOU the smart one here with opinions on everything - YOU THE ZIB coming up with that sentence. Without adding anything usually smart. Just THAT. And withdrawing...
Archie is the one who really insulted me just now. Estonian? But I will rip his ars apart in person!

The Polish/Russian thing was in reference to translating. Could you translate multiple languages.

I keep asking the same thing. It's possible to get smaller chunks of money for different things in different ways. Sorry I meant to answer this earlier. No. There is no chunks. Half maybe. But another half should be laying there soon. I will not get into details. I didn't mean to. I was merely fishing for an ideas. And I've got your juices boiled right? My mission is accomplished. Not that I had not got useful info here. THANKS
And this is why she doesn't get much helpful stuff and a lot of 'piling on' some times. She won't give relevant info. She gets inflamed by reasonable questions. She suggests the whole thing is to get a rise out of everyone...

Guys, please, chill a bit. Some of you remember my posts as if I was your family member. In details.
However you never remember I said on several occasions that I am not nessesarily telling you everything that had happened. I am sometimes playing what if scenario and gettering information PRIOR to what could happen.
A lot of times I was asking you questions and after you went all beserk - none of it came to life, I had just changed my path and avoided the situation. So, please, especially Nancy, hold on to your emotions. You can't be wasting yourself like that on issue that you don't even know exists.
I appreciate everyone's time and posts. And for zib - I am Russian Jew from Ukraine. Write it somewhere or something. I am not supposed you will splurge on tattoo?
Love to all. Yo know I am the only one to can trust. Ignore the rest of them. I thought you are my friend but with Estonian remark...where is my IGNORE button? How dare you? ...accountant!!!!

While you are perusing Craigslist, check to see if there are any students in your area who are looking for a Russian conversation partner. American students who don't have access to a community of native speakers sometimes pay for native speakers to help them improve their speaking skills in the new language. You would be expected to help them with vocabulary choices and correct grammatical errors, but mostly you would just talk with them, structuring the conversation so that they are doing most of the talking. The schedule would probably be pretty flexible. It probably wouldn't pay a lot, but it would be easy work. You might even be able to have them come to the store while you're working and have the conversations there.

Yes. Russian grammar and vocabulary. Looney was educated in the FSU. Every native Russian speaker of her generation I have ever encountered who was educated in the FSU received the same, excellent training in Russian grammar. I have never heard any of them make a grammatical error (except for the occasional rare error in declining large numbers in the instrumental plural, which drives everyone to despair). Looney's English is not indicative of her Russian language ability.

Like I said sometimes (well, most of the times) it is my preparation to what if?
I am asking for my own info. Not nessesary for what had already happened. I don't want to be surprised IF something I am thinking about will happen. So there sometimes no more info to give. OR I reserve my rights to keep my info from posting. I am skimming cream from the top. I might going to use it or I might not - depends on future outcome. It happens to a lot of posters here. People aren't ready to get naked.
My friends grandma used to tell her 'as much as you love your husband don't show him whole ars'...

Thanks. BTW I was surprised that when I was passing Russian part - it was in English. I wanted to suggest to them that its better be re-done in Russian. This way they would have better understanding how person is doing in native language.
My Mom's BF once had an interpreter in a hospital who was translating 'shot in a belly' and bellybutton. And false teeth as falling teeth. I was petrified. It could had been dangerous under circumstances. And it was one of the best Hospitals in the Nation.

So Ive got what I was looking for. And there could be more people with open minds. Or those I can open up to regardless of my birth place. So I am fine and thanks to all. And we had a good time for most parts. Right? I've been here for long enough for you all not to be alarmed nor surprised. Correct? Love you all. Thanks and keep it going if you wish. I will stand by.

Those tests are designed to assess ability in recognizing nuances in the native language and to choose the option in the target language with the same nuance.

IMHO, $20K won't change much, because unless spending/financial habits change, a person will be right back where they were before the windfall. This comment isn't about Loony specifically, it's just my general observations based on people I've known that suddenly received a windfall, or had their debts eliminated (through bankruptcy). Most of those people were soon in the same dire straights as before. The ones who weren't, were those that weren't in dire straights to begin with.

I've heard well-educated native speakers of Russian back up and restructure a sentence to avoid having to decline large numbers in the instrumental case. 8888 - vos'myutysyach'yu vos'myustami vos'myudesyat'yu vos'myu -- and I probably got some lots of that wrong. I think it's probably at least missing a couple of myakie znaki.

Most of those people were soon in the same dire straights as before. The ones who weren't, were those that weren't in dire straights to begin with. Dare I to report that when I came here about 15 years ago we were changing cars as soon as they were reaching 5 years in age. We are still keeping our 1998 Pathfinder. After cold shower from YMers who mentioned their 200K miles vehicles. I had done one shopping in 7 years due to the tremendous weight loss. Bottoms only. Tops are still on me because my shoulders haven't lost a lot of weight and still holding tops Ive got years ago. My child is happily dressing her self up from my closet. Yes my Princess is not heartless - she had her time, now she is participating in family situation with grace and I had made her to buy herself new pair of boots because I didn't want her to get sick from ripped once she owed. Her phone was covered by insurance. We are eating food we are buying wholesale and with yellow tags. Still kicking. We have debit cards only. Not one credit or store. We do not eat out for 7 years, we refuse BDay parties and any parties altogether. We do not go on vacations and do not go to movies. For 7 years it had been business and nothing else. We had stopped swearing and I go to church every week, if I can get in more than once I go every time I can. If any windfall will end up by my door I think I had learned my lesson. I am praying for prosperity to be able to live peacefully and have roof above my head and occasional seafood on my table. All people are different. And yes, it is all up to God. If I deserve my blessings I am sure will receive them. So is everyone else. Amen.

Hmm...I don't see an issue 8000 - vosem' tisyach' (eight thousands) except in Russian it would be eight thousand (right, singular) 800 - vosem' sot (eight hundreds) no s at the end again 80 - vosem' desyat (eighty) 8 - vosem' (eight) Never though about it...interesting

Declining large numbers in the instrumental case is terrifying for non-native speakers (and even the occasional native speaker if it's not something they do very often). Especially numbers with 8 in them. And 7. Well, actually most of them. They're all scary in the instrumental plural.

But that's what makes her Loony. I love Loony and love to tease her because she gives it right back. But I don't like seeing anybody hurting for money or struggling. But I'm not giving her $20K. I don't love anybody that much except DH and he better have a good reason like buying me a new car! If my generic comment about spendthrifts was hurtful to you, Loony I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were serious this time. One of my best friends is from Latvia (part of Russia for those not familiar) and a very communistic country. She is a spendthrift because she is free to make her own decisions now. She is living the life but loves to shop, shop, shop! That is her right and we love her very much and would never want to hurt her. She doesn't mind that we tease her though. She thinks Stop signs are suggestions. LMAO!!! Now THAT'S an insult!

There are some tried-and-true ways to come up with $20,000 for whatever you need $20,000 for.
1. Earn it. Through a 2nd job, or a 3rd job. Through other people in your family working. By making things and selling them. By babysitting. By tutoring. By cleaning houses. By cleaning offices at night.
2. Cut your expenses. Move someplace cheaper. Take in a renter/roomie. Drastically cut spending. Shop around for better insurance rates. Use less power. Get rid of cell phones. If you have cable, it. Every little bit helps ... and it all adds up.
3. Sell things. Sell your home and downsize. Move to a cheaper apartment (if you are a renter) Sell your car and rely on public transportation. Sell jewelry. Sell furniture. Sell anything and everything that you don't absolutely need.
Will these things work? They will work, at least in part. What WON'T work? Doing the same thing that you have already been doing.
Exactly how would you be spending this $20,000 which would "fix your life?"
