Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора When, in your opinion, does the period of relationships to become closer begins? When do you begin to feel that you're in love and that it's not only a nice feeling of just being together? When does your heart begin to feel something strange that you can't explain?
What do we need to feel this moment?

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора Be careful! Everything may happen!

I wonder do your relatives, friends, spouses, etc. know that you have on online blog, aka live diary, and that you share your life with someone else? What is their attitude to this fact if they do?

None of my family members know the fact. Once I mentioned it to my mom and her reaction was quite negative that upset me a lot and I decided not to mention the fact again.

Some of my friends know that I'm blogging but they in a way don't pay much attention to it, because they aren't acquainted with the service...

What about you?

   

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора Our permanent reader Kim_Berly is our member now! So, we are looking forward your new topics)

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора Can you recall any funny things that happened to you during your studying at the university and school? Something about your exams and so on...

Мышка-Машка (jellyjam) все записи автора It's the 13th today. Not a Friday, unfortunately - in my case ;)

Are you superstitious?
Why do so many people believe in black cats crossing roads? In four-leaf clover? And all that stuff? Doesn't it prove that superstitions are quite reliable? Do different peoples (nations) have different superstitions?

And if not superstitions themselves, do you believe in evel eye? Or when you speak your dreams, they wont'come true? That by speaking them, you'll jinx them?
And let's dwell on it - What are your fears in general? What are you afraid of?

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора Dear girls!

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора Well, it's exactly about me and my cats)


By the way, do YOU have any pets? If you do, tell us about them)

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора Let's talk about the most embarassing experience in your life!

I suppose that in my life there were many of them. Now I can recall just one, may be later I'll write about some other cases)
So, when  was 12, I was on holiday in a camp. Actually, I spent there each summer till my 16 (I mean, there can't be children over 16 years old).
And when I was 12, I fell in love) In a childish way, of course, but it lasted for 3 or 4 years. He was 4 years senior. He was 16) He led model aircraft hobby group, and sometimes I went there, but I was too shy. Next year or maybe later I began to bother him)
I think that all children in the camp knew about my sympathy) So, one time we played cards for a wish. And I lost. So they decided to make me kiss him. I didn't like the idea, but I lost... So I went to catch him.
The fact was that I was supposed not to kiss him on a cheek, but on... lips... Oh, it was awful! Just imagine: I was trying to explain what I wanted, he, when understood, didn't like it and tried to leave me and the girls round the corner, giggling and exciting.
Well, I didn't succeed, and I felt terrible!

And what about you?)))

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора Since I can see here just girls, I am going to ask you what is your favourite dish and, maybe, its recipe)

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора And one more puzzle:

A man walked in the city and suddenly he rushed to a woman and began to throttle her.  Of course, he was arrested, but later at the police it turned out that that woman was his wife. So, after the investigation and court session the man was justified and released from prison. Why?

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора I see that these puzzles are very popular so I've found some:

A man walked on a single-track railroad and suddenly he saw  a train moving towards him. So the man began to run towards the train.

Мышка-Машка (jellyjam) все записи автора An ordinary Russian citizen, with no passport, visits over thirty foreign countries in one day. He is welcomed in each country and leaves each one of his own accord.

Мышка-Машка (jellyjam) все записи автора A man walks into a bar and asks for a drink. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at him. The man says, "Thank you," and walks out.

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора One day I registered at the site where one can find some pen friends. There were some letters from different people. But today I've received a really strange one:

"Hello, my name is Paul and Im 17 years old youngster. I'd like to offer you one transaction, if you're interested, you can make a deal with me, if not -forgive bothering.
Im looking for a used, worn out youth or childrens' footwear. No matter if it would be a pair of socks, shoes, slippers, trainers, sandals or any other sort. The requirement is that it MUST be dirty, consist many signs of wear. Stains, tears, holes, dirt, dingyness inside and a foot stinky smell are great and necessary! I need them to have been used hard by kids at my age or preferably younger. Of course Im going to pay you for those goods. As my parents are rich I can afford to pay for each pair of socks 30$ and for shoe type item 50$. If we'll start to cooperate, I'll send you money by most comfortable, chosen by you way. You will receive shipping costs and half of the price of each item before sending them to me The rest of money you'll get after I receive a package. So, are you able to find such kind of footwear for me? You can also ask your relatives, friends or take some footwear from young siblings, I don't care way you gonna do this.
If you're interested, please hurry up in contacting me, cause I sent this offer to some other people and who'll be faster, will make this transaction with me. If you are angry or simply not interested - forgive bothering."

Maybe, I didn't understand? Or he is a really strange guy?)))

I've  received the link from Jelllyjam

Jelllyjam (jellyjam) все записи автора What was the best present that you've ever been given?
Or maybe, it was a surprise from your friends for some holiday that you remember best of all? The surprise that  cheered you up and made you feel much better?

Мышка-Машка (jellyjam) все записи автора Настроение сейчас - super

I don't know if we'll manage to succeed with this game as a lot of people are required to make it interesting, still... we can try... It was really interesting to do at a lesson of English with Upper-Intermediate or Advanced groups.

So... There exists such a group of puzzles, which is based on an invented situation - unusual situation (mostly connected with death ;)). Such puzzles are solved through a dialogue between the quizmaster who sets the puzzle (me, in this case) and the solvers who try to figure out the answer. The puzzles generally do not contain sufficient information to deduce the solution. So a key part of the process is asking questions. The questions can receive three possible answers - yes, no or irrelevant. That means that only general questions can be asked or you may offer your solution.

The aim is to find the most suitable solution to the offered situation. In fact, various solutions are possible. But the best answer is the one, on hearing which you want to kick yourself for not working it out!

I'm sure you've heard some of these puzzles before. Like, The Man Who Hanged Himself. Here it is:
Not far from Madrid, there is a large wooden barn. The barn is completely empty except for a dead man hanging from the middle of the central rafter. The rope around his neck is ten feet long and his feet are three feet off the ground. The nearest wall is 20 feet away from the man. It is not possible to climb up the walls or along the rafters. The man hanged himself. How did he do it?

This puzzle was told in one of Marinina's books, if I'm not mistaken. The answer is - he climbed onto the ice cube, which has melted later.

So, now that you know the type of the puzzles I'm offering, I'll give you my favourite puzzle...



A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He looked around to see if there was anyone he recognised. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
