The Ides of March

The day that Julius Caesar was assassinated, March 15, is forever noted in history as the Ides of March. Interestingly, the name Ides was part of the Roman calendar used as a benchmark for counting the days of the month. Just as the Roman numerals count forward and backward from numeric benchmarks, the calendar system used three benchmarks for counting the days of the month. Loosely explained here and depending upon which month, the first day of the month was Kalends, the end of the first week was Nones and the end of the second week was Ides. The Romans would take each benchmark and add or take away days to determine the remaining dates of each month.

Ever since childhood I remember hearing tales and references made in regarding to the mail order Russian Brides, but I don’t know that it was still a common belief and practice in today’s world. My sister has been known to try and play match maker for me, she insists that I need a wife, or at least a live in companion, to help around the place, that is so very overwhelming for one person (that would be me) to deal with on a daily basis. So she continues to look around both on and off line for various ways for me to connect with other people, with a heavy emphasis on the women, and has forwarded the link to Loversplanet.com to look into the meeting of “available” Russian women.

Russian dating is seems is still alive and well and we have the Internet to thank for making the whole process an easier task and a whole new twist on the matter. It seems that there is millions of people in the U.K., Canada, Australia and the U S. that are meeting and marrying Russian women.  Russian woman are known for being good looking and have high family values already in place, and have a track record for success.
