Now that I am a photographer, I carry a camerabag most of the time, but when I don't, I just carry my wallet in my pocket, and that's it.<BR/><BR/>Vodka is one of the only "hard" alcohols that I can drink until the cows come home. I blame the fact that my father, while not born in Russia, is from Russian parents.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057778340760717886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-13005234406811507412008-12-20T14:37:00.000+02:002008-12-20T14:37:00.000+02:00Oh, and to Luna: Vodka is quicker and doesn't usua...Oh, and to Luna: Vodka is quicker and doesn't usually leave me with a headache. But I stopped in an Azbuka today (don't ask . . . I was there, it was there) and, lo and behold, they had 1.5 liters of tonic. For 235 rubles! Oh, and diet tonic, too. For 270 rubles. $10 for a freakin' bottle of tonic. <BR/><BR/>I got two tiny cans . . . like what you get on an airplane . . . for 60 rubles. That'll limit my vodka consumption today. But The Spouse drinks it neat. I only drink it neat when it's got hot peppers or honey added. ("shpirtzum"? Is that the word? Anyone? Beuhler?)The Expatressehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127602680470789727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-9967264184392950992008-12-20T14:33:00.000+02:002008-12-20T14:33:00.000+02:00I wear the bandlier under my coat.

I try to have items I need at hand IN my hand before I need to sue them to eliminate fumbling and, as TRex put it, "sitting duck-ness." I was trained by New Yorkers. <BR/><BR/>To Tina: I do that closer to the time I head State-side. Long about June, I start sending stuff to my dacha in Ohio.The Expatressehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127602680470789727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-59773823497033843332008-12-20T06:54:00.000+02:002008-12-20T06:54:00.000+02:00IMHO, you need to limit what you're carrying in yo...IMHO, you need to limit what you're carrying in your purse to 7 items. This will give you good karma, and you will not need to worry about getting mugged.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry, but I did laugh gleefully about the cat gack! So happy to know that I am not the only one being tortured by a friendly feline. (I will need to make a recording of the sounds I need to endure in the morning before I feed our little SOB. It's hair raising, really.)<BR/><BR/>Have you given up wine entirely for the local brew? :)Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11295023610273374329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-36013497093623148322008-12-20T04:35:00.000+02:002008-12-20T04:35:00.000+02:00Oh jesus the stuff we have to schlep and never min...Oh jesus the stuff we have to schlep and never mind when it's hot and you have to add a bottle of water, and I always have gum and the drug arsenal and a folding umbrella if it seems like rain...I always regret it when I don't take a book or NYer or at least my Times with me and I always have WADS of kleenex...buried at the bottom is a hair brush which I seldom if ever use. Digging for my cell or lipstick...it is impossible and I don't know how men can manage with only a wallet... many of mine have man bags which are of course purses... And when I am teaching I have a huge carryall stuffed with papers to be graded and passed back and my grade book...well you can remember how that was...Sometimes it is so heavy it is all I can do to lug it down the hallway let alone into the building...It is all made worse by the cumbersomeness of winter with scarves, gloves, sweaters and coats and too much stuff to drag...<BR/><BR/>I hope they got your abysmal elevator repaired. That is really horrific.

Won't the ugly purse worn outside also rub off the fur? What do Russian women do?<BR/><BR/>I wanted to answer your question on my daughter's blog about where her Ebay purchases go? Come step into my living room right now and you'll see the answer. I am like a warehouse here as she buys ahead if she sees something. The Josephina clothes and doll plus a porclein tea set for Molly or Elizabeth have been a fixture in my house for about two years. I also am storing LOTS of other stuff. It's fun to get the boxes, open them and oh and ah over the purchases.<BR/><BR/>Grandma's Warehouse in New EnglandTina in CThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389744278715174313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105130528225923495.post-54367901339078193952008-12-19T22:22:00.000+02:002008-12-19T22:22:00.000+02:00Damn, what is it with women and purses!

It takes her forever to pay for an item, find her Metro pass/ringing cell phone and so on all the while she is a sitting duck. Heaven forbid that the hubby should try to organize her purse, might as well find a buddy with a couch for a week or so *I will never be forgiven*.<BR/><BR/>Bottom line is to not get freaked out as you live in the center and not out around power station #29. The Militia is for sure starting to bottom feed but if you have a notarized copy of your passport with relevant pages you are fine.<BR/><BR/>When I was in a particularly nasty part of Russia I had a pre written message that I could send to an extraction team with the push of one button on my smart phone, but I don’t think Moscow is anywhere near that threat level yet.<BR/><BR/>Be chillin grrrl!
