Most married men are uterus-afflicted, and on a fairly regular basis. We learn "dumb" as a method of self-defence.

Indeed we are quite excited about our trip to eastern europe and especially meeting our relatives in warsaw, poland. We were hoping our dad would join us, but he has no interest in visiting the old country.

Thank you for your kind offer, I may have to pick your brain closer to the time that we leave.

I guess our biggest concern is whether we will be allowed to cross the poland/ukraine border from warsaw.. We want to visit Kiev where there are a few relatives of ours as well. We've heard horror stories about travellers not be allowed across even with visas, or having to pay to be allowed to cross over to the ukraine.

Do you know anything about this?
