Perils and Pleasures: #3 Part 3 The Final Days of O.

Petra had never gotten to the stage of coming to meet me.  O was the first.  I would later recognize 'Coming to meet you!'  as the final stages of what have come to be the most thrilling relationships I've ever had though none consummated.  I would rate these above my one and only actual marriage for steamy romance.

Perils and Pleasures Continued #3 O Part 2:

To get the most from these correspondence, I would start with part #1, #2 and then this:

After the way I lost Petra, her repeated flakey behavior of not writing for days one week and again once I said I didn't know how I would afford to travel to her nor did I think a marriage proposal was appropriate for our first meeting, I suspected that her and a scamming business were a very strong probability.  Although I kept reminding myself not to get in too deep, I just could not resist the passionate words and strange grammar that made this all the more believable.  In their defense, when I began studying Russian language, I discovered they either don't use pronouns or must use them differently.

On a positive note, I've found a website I'd like to share with you called Thumbtack.

 At this site one merely lists all the things they can do.  For me it ranged from handyman, to CAD designer, driver and even banjo player.

Bill's Book Blog:  

INFIDEL, by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Apart from the prestige of having this book on the New York Times bestseller list when published in 2008, Ayaan made news a couple of weeks ago when Brandeis University rescinded its offer of an honorary degree because students objected to her writing as “hate speech”.  Which it certainly is.

Bill's Travel Blog:  REFLECTIONS

Relaxing in the pleasant afternoon sun at my neighborhood sidewalk cafĂ© in Prague over a glass of beer I try to reflect on what, if anything, I’m learning.

Strong Future International is the first internet company I clicked on from an email ad that didn't ask for money.  No down payment at all.  I was still reluctant, but I did click my way in.
