Small Humor....

[Ryan]

I have been writing many women in the Ukraine.  We ask each other so many questions to get to know each other etc.  The standard stuff..   I use Yahoo as my E-mail and at the end of every E-mail is a advertisement.  It reads, "Do you Yahoo?"  Then you click on the link if you want to get yahoo etc..  This one woman writes back:

No I do not Yahoo, I watch a little TV...

It took me a minute to figure out what she was talking about....

It almost might be worth considering changing your email.  Russian ladies are pretty sensitive about things like that.  While the one that wrote you back obviously has a sense of humor, others may not realize that you aren't the one asking the question and it could count as a strike against you...

She was not being funny.  She was just answering the questions as if I was asking something like...  "Do you sew"  She replied No I watch a little TV..  She was just going with the word Yahoo like it is something typical....  She knows little english and is trying very hard..  She is cute...  

Your right about someone could take that "Do you Yahoo" statement the wrong way...  But you know it is way down on the page and listed way after I say good bye etc...  Most will figure it out if they even see it at all...
