I noticed that you went whizzing past me...I'm still stuck on level 55 and have been for weeks. I even cleared both boards once, but my score wasn't high enough! Don't go there, Oscar, you'll be tearing your hair out :wah:

I cheated and "bought" one of the charms that dissolves the chains. The upper levels get HARD!

I cheated once at the 30 level just to preserve my sanity. But I've now trapped myself in this stubborn mode of, "You're not getting my money, I shall do it myself!" Not so sure...

I don't think it's possible with those damn chains. You need to pick up 6 (?) consecutive cards before the chains dissolve on their own, and in one game there are only two exposed cards before you hit the chained ones. There's NO way to win that one. The one I'm stuck on now gives you nine cards in the stack and only one exposed card. You need a lot of wild cards to beat that one. ARGH!

Anne

Your right - the large group of the "fat Broads" as you stated were Russian.

I had to chuckle - I said - "what are they carrying" it was the luggage rack from their room.

They each unfolded the rack as a seat on the beach.:yh_rotfl :yh_rotfl

You couldn't help but notice - trust me - no one really wanted to see what other surprises they might have.

OH - NO - it's a bikini, kinda.!

So Anne - your familiar with the size of these people - in all our visits to Paradise I've never seen anything like this. There were 6- to @ 8 females in bathing suits/bikini sitting on their luggage racks - they made a wall.

Their size alone was scarey - the stretch marks were horrible - marks were so thick/large & purple - disturbing to me obviously.

A few took their luggage rack in the water with them

They had a pleasant time & stayed for @ 2 weeks

Aloha

I'm on ' pet Rescue' at the moment... when you first see It, you can be mistaken for thinking It's a child game but as you go up the levels, It becomes more and more difficult;

The other one I play Is 'Candy Crush Saga' and again at the onset It looks childish but gets harder and harder.... My sister was whizzing past me on levels and I got stuck on level 46 for weeks. I was absolutely determined I was not going to buy the tools to break the chains and locked cages and In the end I finally did It.

I think with all things Russian Oscar they are not as forthcoming in terms of statistics like we are in the west.

As it turns out, Russia does not have its own obesity statistics. In addition, there is no Russian epidemiology, or the joint medical data about the whole country. Russia definitely has cancer, heart attack, stroke, TB and AIDS stats, but the Russian statistics often differs a lot from the one of the World Health Organization.

It's a bit scary that we are number three! Although we have been warned long enough that all these ready meals and fast foods are bad for us.

Maybe these Russians have been living in the states for some time and been consuming fast foods, food differences would have been a major culture shock for them after all.

It's comfort eating - look at who we have to put up with as neighbours.

Austin Powers - Best Of Fat Bastard - YouTube

Make a joke about an american, french, german etc etc fat bastard and no doubt there would be outrage. But then we've always been able to appreciate sophisticated humour. We just laughed our heads off, made him a cultural icon and sell fat bastards suits to the tourists.

Hang on they do have american fat bastards

No, they arrive this way. It's the diet & the culture of Russia, not the U.S. It's basically the older women, the young Russian ladies are very super-conscious of their looks, are very materialistic (they owned Nothing in Russia). It's also genetic, these are peasant people. It is a culture I understand very much, due to background & childhood experiences.

eta--thought I should use some "Show & Tell", so I added these links concerning a recent reality show, shot in *my* neighborhood, called Russian Dolls, cancelled due to disgust:

I am envious of large women who have the confidence to show their bodies

I couldn't do it at 17... when my size was great... and I could never do it now at 61.

I grew up in a time that abhorred fat, and its even worse now. I have spent my whole life wishing to be very

thin, and it still hasn't happened. Despite not being svelte myself, I have to admit, I do not like looking at fat people.

Even at this age I struggle to get comfortable with what I look like. I would never be mean to someone fat, because I understand that being fat free is a lot more complicated than many people think. I avoid beaches, and prefer to socialize with people with their clothes on. hahah Then I can enjoy their laughs, their beautiful smiles, and their sparkling eyes without having to look at their butts. My mother and father commented on my weight all of my life, and it did a real number on my self esteem. Not a good thing, as the self esteem issue carries over into every area of your life. Im glad that there are men who enjoy large women, and vice versa. To each his own eh?
