Marina,

I see you are a ukulele fan, too. Here are a couple links to some nice George Harrison tributes. It was said by his son, Dhani, that George would carry 2 ukuleles so that others could play along.

George Harrison’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps, performed by Jake Shimabukuro on ukulele.

Introduced by Dhani Harrison, George’s friend Joe Brown played a memorial tune on a ukulele, See You in My Dreams, as the final act in A Concert for George.

Also, nice babushka! I don’t mean to call you an old lady, but the traditional apparel is dated, but appreciated.

P.S. I loved your family pictures. I thought you might enjoy the site I use for my off and on genealogy hobby. You can add pictures, create a family tree, post recipes, family stories and much more at http://www.myfamily.com

Tissue + Sneeze
“Thar she blows!” I sneeze violently, sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row, often triggered by the sunlight or dust and sometimes cramping my internal or external organs. Why would the sunlight cause me to sneeze?

Marina,
I enjoy your family pictures and those when you were younger. I thought it would be fun if you produced a video of you interviewing your mother, friends from your childhood, or teachers in the Russian language with, of course, your good faith interpretation of the answers. The questions about you would come from your inquisitive fans for you to select from.

Pat I found a source that has gesundheit as having both German and Yiddish backgrounds. I had trouble with the spelling, too.
gesundheit
1914, from Ger., lit. “health!” Also in toast auf ihre Gesundheit “to your health” (see sound (adj.)). Lith. aciu, echoic of the sound of a sneeze, has come to mean “good luck, God bless you.”

Why is it that peppers evolved with a hot taste to discourage animals from eating them, but humans continue doing so?

I was trying it out as an experiment, but I’m not an effective networker. I was cleaning up my tracks, and noticed my deleted posts were only deleted from view on my account. HR personnel are admittedly nosy and make prejudicial judgments. I can’t afford anymore (perceived) bad press. Mercy!
