I wonder if there is any logic behind all these requirements? Especially “Password must be 8 characters long” or “Should not start with ? or !” or “password is not case-sensitive”. But then again, it’s SAP…

Pregnancy Q&A

I’m not having any luck with running here. On my first day in the USA, I ran 10 km in new sneakers and got such a blister that I spent the next 2 weeks limping. Last Saturday, after the brunt of the blizzards had passed and the paths were cleared, I decided to run around the stadium and collided with a stretched rope, which is why I am now walking around with a red injured nose. Yesterday, I decided to run home for lunch (it’s less than a mile from work). Since I ran in regular shoes, not sneakers, my heel hurts now—it seems I bruised it on the asphalt. Next time, I don’t even know what to expect.

We can’t go to school at all. Initially, it was postponed due to snow – it suddenly fell here, the temperature being slightly below zero, then they announced freezing rain, and today it has been a regular light rain since morning and plus 10-12 degrees Celsius.

They are sending SMS and emails:

Perhaps it’s no revelation to most of you, but in the USA there are informally two official languages: English and Spanish. About 15% of the legal population speaks Spanish, and almost all illegal immigrants do, in California and Texas – that’s a good half of the population (and in Puerto Rico, almost everyone). Spanish is used for official business, and in this language, as well as in English, one can interact with government agencies. This is even noticeable in Virginia, where less than 5% of the population are Spanish speakers.

About safety: In January, there were no murders in Estonia. This rate is 120 times lower than the same indicator in Russia (source for Russia: http://goo.gl/PUYJGX)

Another exclusive. What a child should know in the 4th grade. I translated for myself and for you the core knowledge for the 4th grade – where my Masha is going. From this material, you will find out, for example, that in mathematics a different notation is used, a different method of long division, compare the complexity of history, mathematics, and social studies and discover many more interesting things.

Tysons Corner Center, the largest shopping center in the Washington D.C. area and one of the top ten in the United States closes on Sunday at seven o’clock!!! How can that be?

However, in some parts of Europe, it wouldn’t even be open on a Sunday.

Russian store in our little town. Very interesting assortment. (Lots of photos)
