Not that very funny but anyway about cats...

I agree with you there. Not funny at all, even sad. It's real life and a piece of good (in my opinoin) practice in Present Tenses.

Admire the similarity with my own cat. The same habits without respect of nationality.

You mean 'enjoyed'. Thank you. Natashka will like it.
How about that: women are women in any part of the world. And we need somebody who loves or at least cares...

"That's what i mean or that's what i meant?
which one is correct? and for example you have shared an idea but someone opposed to it yet what he said was also just the same of your idea which one is more appropriate to use as your answer that's what i mean or that's what i meant?
Each of them is correct in its proper place; the difference is a matter of tense.
that's what i mean (present tense) I mean it now and continue to mean it
that's what i meant (past tense), referring to what you meant yesterday, last month, a year ago etc."

Americans&pumpkins anonymous February 6 2013, 01:49:43 UTC

Americans LOOOOVE pumpkins. They cultivate this vegetable, bake many goodies with it, add it to the stews and any other sorts of cooking, eat seeds, even brew beer and coffee with pumpkins (those are seasonal, sold only in october-november); make a traditional pumpkin-pie for Thanksgiving day (I don't like it at all, though), and finally, crave a jack-o-lantern for a Halloween. What is it? It is a large pumpkin without seeds inside. With a help of a knife, you cut off the stem, then you cut out several holes in it in a form of a scary face. Inside, you put a candle. This thing suppose to scare all the demons and protect you. You can find more about close connection between Americans&Pumpkin on the Wiki web page ( ... )

Наташка, спасибо! Вот уж не думала, что и ты морозишь тыкву. Вам с Василием надо блог создать "Мы и тыква", нет лучше прямо блог Васьки "Моя жизнь с Наташкой" (глазами кота), станешь бешено популярной, потом все 'кошкиедовые' корпорации к тебе в очередь выстроятся на подачу рекламы и купишь ты самолёт, и я на 'ём' буду к тебе летать, а ты на Родину.
За рецепт хлеба отдельное спасибо! Правда, мне яйца нельзя, но, может, и испеку для домашних, если заработают такую жертву.
