Hi there! Is anyone interested what happens there?

Nothing special at all in fact. But where should I start with my 1st posting on Cellar?

Welcome Dammian,

I only just know ''spassiba'' in Russian but it's quite a good beginning.

You can start by 'splainin' "BDSM."

The standard reply is "pajaluysta". Now you khnow 2 words and this is a great improvement.

You have started in a fine place!

Spassiba and puhjahulsta make up a good percentage of my Russian vocabulary as well. I also know "Yob Tvyoo Maht" and "Yahitza kuritzu ni uchat" (which I apparently say with a very good accent, according to a Russian doctor that I used to work with).

Wow. Trying to type Russian phoenetically is much harder than to write it in Cyrillic. If I think about it very, very hard I can recall the sounds associated with most of the letters. That backwards "R" is an "a" thing tends to throw English speakers for a loop! (that just means it confuses us easily.) I took a year of Russian in college, but since the class met at 8AM I didn't make it to class as often as I should have, and also didn't retain much. I keep meaning to give Russian another try.

'splainin just means "explaining". There was an American television show in the 1950s called "I Love Lucy." Real life husband and wife Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball played Ricky and Lucy Ricardo. Ricky was Cuban, and had a strong accent. Whenever Lucy would do something bad and he found out about it, he would say to her, "Lucy, you got some 'splainin to do."

Your profile showed your interests as Hitech, BDSM, etc. "'splainin'" just means I wanted and explaination as to what you meant. Srry for the corn-fusion (that's confusion).

However, you changed your interest line now, so disregard.

I know one thing we need, Pictures, lots and lots of pictures of Moscow and other places around Russia.

On BP Super (95 octane) is about $0.64 (1 liter). The lowest price is $0.56, but I will never fill my car with it.

И тебе привет! I took it off because I'm not sure that this theme is welcomed on Cellar.

Hobbs, if you need an explanation about BDSM - Google rulez You are not very impressive, aren't you?

Pictures... I'm just thinking to become a photomaniac, so lots of them are possible, but later.

ps: 10x 2 all 4 'splainin' aboot 'splainin'

I know what BDSM it with or without Google. I mearly wanted to make sure you meant the same thing or whether it was one of those "Russian" things.

I know you didn't mean this the way it sounded to I am going to overlook this comment due to fact that your your master of the english language is hindered by your Russian accent. Google is my best friend, and so was BDSM (in a former life).

I'm given to understand it's rather like riding a bike. You can get back into the swing quite easily ...

Wait a minute! I don't know how it sounded, but I meant that if you don't know what is BDSM, you may be shoked if you type this in Google
