Here's an IG post for ya. NotPolina trying to be artsy and/or sexy I guess??? But to me it looks more like she's giving herself an eyewash :huh: Very TTW style! https://www.instagram.com/p/CDYdZNDpxAa/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

I tried duolingo but all the sentences were about f'kin apples! It got repetitive and boring so I checked out. I really just want to understand skater interviews and competition commentary. I want to go back to Russia someday (my family & I were trying for next year but the universe said...

When I was in Russia ~20 years ago I got scolded by an elderly Ukranian woman about why I was neither married or engaged or gasp even had a boyfriend. I was 20 years old at the time and I was dangerously close to becoming a spinster. My host mom told the lady to shush because Americans are...

His first name is Vladislav, but yes, that's him. Katalina is a pretty name! Unique but not wacky. Congrats to the Lipnitskaya-Tarasenko family.

That's what Dominique said on the 30 for 30 podcast (almost caught up!). She practiced her vaults with an extra mat (forgot what she called what kind of mat is was) but he didn't provide her with one when she went up for vault. She needed him to actually coach her but he was screaming nonsense...

I know of three people who moved out of NYC: a sister-in-law and a friend from high school moved to Long Island and I just met a couple that just moved here to my town. We're not doing that great with our crud numbers, but their rent is $2000 less for quadruple the space so they're happy so far.

Bela knew that, and would even use it against her. If she didn't listen to him or didn't do exactly what he wanted, he would threaten to tell her father. Bela knew full well that her father was physically abusive and lorded his control over her because he could have her beaten any time he...

I just watched the TSL interview last night, haven't gotten to Heavy Medals yet. I think he said Bela told him she did it on purpose, but he didn't know if it was true or not because Bela liked to make up his own stories. But I might have gotten that mixed up with the rumor that she had drunk...

RIP Mr. Lewis. I hope America will one day be the country you envisioned.

Absolutely gutted. My heart dropped when I saw the subject line. It's been such an awful week with a lot of notable people dying. That poor girl got the worst of all possible situations. Health problems forcing her to quit, then a global p___c probably greatly prohibited her ability to seek...

Yes, I remember at the time that Moceanu was called things like lazy, whiner, etc. At the end of her competitive career she was also suing her parents for emancipation, and that was used as "evidence" that she was just being a rebellious teen. :( It's probably a bitter victory that she was...

I love the theme song to Cowboy Bebop, I'm glad someone chose it for skating. Tomoki did such a good job with it! :respec:

I was thinking about getting a face shield. My husband is legally deaf and relies mainly on lip reading to understand people. Going out in public with him with both of us wearing masks has been... something. I only know the alphabet in sign language so that gets rather time consuming. We...

My next door neighbor has the crud. He's pretty young, definitely no older than me, 40 tops. He's feeling rather ill but his wife and kids aren't showing any symptoms yet. They've both been working this whole time up until now, so they are in the first stages of going stir crazy. The wife is...

I always thought the build team trio were more fun to watch than the two main guys on Mythbusters. Grant was always my favorite because he had the cute nerd thing going for him. I gasped when I saw the news. RIP Grant :(
