GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY


  If you can’t remember anything, why should I tell you anything at all !! How I saved you or EVEN if I saved you.
  Would you believe I rode my trusty steed thru the rain, flinging my head under the tarp, not a tent,
catching an earfull of rain, thus saveing the sleeping damsel.
  Or, I was on the wrong side of the sleeping bag.
  Good night.

You mean ANDY ALMIGHTY???????????

    The answer to your question why you should tell me anything, if I can’t remember anything at all? Well that’s obvious. You could tell me whatever you dreamed of and I would have to believe you. Okay maybe if it was too far fetched, I would have to give it some serious thought or not.

    Are you telling me that I missed my shot at a knight in shining armor?????  OMG, what am I do to. Now for sure I won’t be able to sleep. Seems that you remember St. Catherine’s very well, and making me feel guilty that I don’t remember the place. Why won’t you give credence to what I say about Priedaine?

    So my questions to you are, did you catch an earful of rain?
                                where you on the wrong side of the sleeping bag?
              and the big question   DID you save me or not???????????????
        oh 1 more question   where did you tie up that steed?

Ar labu nakti!!

TGIF

I AM CRAZZY?  WHAT’S THAT SAY ABOUT YOU???? YOUR AN INVOLVED PARTICIPANT.

Also, what do you call those people that are viewing this madness and NOT participating?????

I-81???  Isn’t that a bit out of your way or where you on your way to visit me? What exactly happened to that steed? There’s a name for people that don’t take care of their animals, which escapes me at the moment.

As for your POOF moment, seems that this happens to you alot. Have you been to the PC Doctor to get it checked out??? WOWZER someone told me this was a reality show and there you go spoiling it and saying it was just a sitcom. What frigging MEMO? You sure you didn’t have one of your POOF moments and you thought you did but never did.

Hey I could tell you tons of Romania, but you think that is appropriate since this is a Latvian Forum. Guess I will stay true to form, which is saying the wrong things at the wrong times.

When I arrived there with my SUV in 2003, I could drive alll   day and be lucky to see another SUV. By the time I left in 2010, seemed like every 4th car was an SUV. I am totally befuddled how these people could afford to buy gas, which was around $4 a gallon, much less buy one. BTW average monthly salary is about $400 a month. Oh yeah there was no shortage of Beamers and Mercedes, by then. I tried to do the right thing and get my car registered there. That was a joke. They needed to test my emissions and they couldn’t keep the nossel in the tail pipe, soooooooo   they told me my car didn’t pass. I drove around anyways, with the help of a shady character I met there. I drove around the country alot. It was an adventure each time and invariably each time, I would end up on a road that just ended with no warning. A few times I ended up on these so called “roads” that were nothing but a bunch of potholes placed very closely together.  I never had that problem driving around in Latvia.

I think it was 2007 when the government decided to get rid of all the old cars and offered an incentive to the people to trade them in and get a newer car. OMG I think the amount of cars quaddrupled and it was awful driving around the city, much less trying to find a parking place. It made people crazzy there. I watched them drive up one way streets, drive up ramps going the wrong way. You took your life in your hands driving after 2007. The traffic was ungodly. They think nothing of tying up a major intersection. Driving was scary and I didn’t have insurance, so eventually I stoped driving. Oh yeah, they changed the way you could register your car and the amount you had to pay. I had a 97 Ford Explorer and they wanted me to pay the equivalent of $8,000 to registered   LMAO   THEY WERE NUTSSSSSSSSSSS

Okay thats my car story from Romania. I can tell you other kinds of stories if you are interested, but you need to tell me more of you life.

  It was a compliment, no voice tones, no facia expressions, it became a cold word vs the one I was laughing with.
  Your right about the poof, it wasn’t the computer, it happened in my head.
  I got to think about this.

I guess what I should of said was that I don’t know what to say to you. Since you said you would think about it, I will wait to see what you come up with.

    Think about it, I am crazzy.  What sane person would move across the ocean, barely knowing anyone and most of all not knowing how to speak the language. All my friends think I was nuts and I guess since I am back, they hope that I will grow roots somewhere in the USA.

p.s. did you notice our readship is climbing?

sounds like a solution, but I don’t have your number and I don’t think you want to post it in an open forum.

Now it’s around $8 a gallon, and is continuously growing…  The luxury car sales too.

From http://forum.roemenie123.nl:

‘The utility of some institutions and departments is doubtful at best. There is, for instance, a National Office for the Cult of the Heroes, attached to the Defense Ministry. The agency’s director, 29 year-old Georgia Gabriela Voicu, drives an Aston Martin and a BMW. When not used, the cars are parked outside one of Ms Voicu’s two houses and four apartments.’ [ Her monthly salary is about $500 (five hundred USD)... She has no CV, but many jewels.]

Spending eight years here, and still so naive…

I drove around the country alot. It was an adventure each time and invariably each time, I would end up on a road that just ended with no warning. A few times I ended up on these so called “roads” that were nothing but a bunch of potholes placed very closely together.

Here is the 28-year old son of Romania’s “Asphalt King” [far richer that Mr. Lembergs], together with his Lamborghini Murciélago [now obsolete, from his viewpoint]. His billionaire father is directly responsible for all that “roads” and holes.

Oh yeah, they changed the way you could register your car and the amount you had to pay. I had a 97 Ford Explorer and they wanted me to pay the equivalent of $8,000 to registered

Well, the above-mentioned Asphalt Prince was paying less than $700 in order to register his Bugatti Veyron (~2.2 million USD, one of his many cars. He has no salary, since he never worked.).

‘At the higher rungs of the bureaucratic ladder, state secretaries and advisors can multiply their income by sitting on as many meetings and committees as they can. Clerks and various contractors also enjoy side benefits, in the shape of perks and various bonuses, which can add up to 300 percent to the actual salary.

Even drivers at certain ministries can double or triple their income. The press has reported widely on the case of Mr Boc’s personal driver. With a net salary of 1,200 lei (roughly €285), the prime minister’s driver can make four times more on certain months. This is twice the income of a judge or a public prosecutor.’ [Not mentioning the bribe…]

‘The administration’s remuneration system has become a target for public anger. A much-hated category of civil servants - tax officials - receive financial bonuses meant to encourage them to be faithful to the state and to find new ways of filling its coffers.

According to the Romanian Fiscal Code, tax inspectors can keep 5 percent of the sums collected through fines, tax adjustments, penalties and confiscations. Such perks are also attributed to employees in the local administration who are entitled to raise local taxes. The bonus mechanism explains the zeal with which state employees systematically fine taxpayers for the slightest mistake.

Official figures show that last year Romania’s civil servants collected bonuses amounting to €270 million. Officials in the ministry of finance pocketed 80% of that sum.’
