1. i offered but you rejected my friendship
3. No, everyone is not ravingly happy all the time. it is not a
default state. quite the contrary. Happiness comes in spurts, with
periods in between while you wait for what is going to kill the good
feeling you were allowed to have for a moment. That killer is always lurking


2. i thought you said you were ***


3. everyone has accidents when they first start driving. they
resume when you get to be a senior citizen

Hi Marika,

as you may have seen at the fairy-tail "Greek author..."-thread

http://groups.google.de/group/soc.culture.greek/msg/2554cf49f7e9503a

I do like Roanoke and its beautiful surroundings (Virginian mountains
and lakes), too (even from far, i.e. virtually).

yes i remember. they remind one of the carpathians.

interesting, but as i said i live near dc down a piece from Skyline
which would make it either falls church or alexandria, not arlington.


relevantly, my high rise on my side looks out on what i think is the
skyline mountains also known as shenadoah also beautiful vista and
because i am so high up and now it is so green yuo can't see most of
the buildings, there are two towers on the sides that make the sloping
down make you think you are at the top of a mountain looking down into
a valley. it's illusion but i is still beautiful

Have you ever been there?
Or do you know them from the various Dracula movies?

Very nice location!
The one & only time I was in Washington, DC, I went to the JFK grave at
the Arlington National Cemetery.

"Which would make it either falls church or Alexandria". What does it mean?


That sounds marvellous!

I know what you mean.
Frequently, when I walk around in some smaller cities I look at the
high rises there (of course, smaller though) with the imagination the
one or another might have the appearance of being a 'splendid beach
hotel at a beautiful coastal area'. Having the capacity of such type
of illusions the world around oneself is just getting beautiful ...

i think the dracula movies were filmed in hollywood

that sometimes people refer to the area where i live as alexandria and
others call it falls church. they are both continguous with arlington
but no one ever refers to where i live as arlington

so i refer to where i live as either alexandria or falls church as some
people know one or the other

Hi Marika,

perhaps, your ancestors came from there and you visited the remaining
family in Rumania? Or was it just a trip across Europe or the like?

Yes, I think so, too.
However, I saw sometimes background TV-reports on the real
Carpathians' area with its /dark appearing/ castles and so on.

In L.A. I spent half a day at the Universal Studios. And, e.g., I
remember the scary wooden house of Hitch****'s "Psycho".

As you compare the Virginian Mountains with the Carpathians, I've
meanwhile recalled that I know the landscape

http://www.virginiawind.com/virginia_travel/waltons_mountain.asp

pretty well from the "Waltons Mountain". Of course, "it readily
intermingles historical facts of the 1930s in rural Virginia with the
Hollywood depiction of the Walton family."

I've now looked up the Schuyler village at the Expedia map. [...]

I got, at first, confused as I did not realise that both are cities and
counties. To me, only Arlington was a place I knew of (as indicated).

I found this now as a supplement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandria,_Virginia
<cit>

History

The City of Alexandria, first known as Belhaven, was named in honor of
John Alexander, who in the last quarter of the 17th century had bought
the land on which the city now stands from Robert Howison; the first
settlement here was made in 1695. Alexandria was laid out in 1749 and
was incorporated in 1779.

A portion of the City of Alexandria shares with all of today's
Arlington County the distinction of having been originally in Virginia,
ceded to the US government to form the District of Columbia, and later
reattached to Virginia by the federal government in 1846 when the
District was reduced in size to exclude the portion west of the Potomac River.

Columbia; the city of Alexandria was re-chartered in 1852. The City of
Alexandria became independent of Alexandria County in 1870. The
remaining portion of Alexandria County changed its name to Arlington
County in 1920, ending years of confusion.
</cit>

I'm glad, Marika, that I could learn, at this occasion, more about
that US-historic part. And, having seen the whole area on an Expedia
map, I do now perfectly know your whereabouts :-)
