I know what you mean. I saw some photos and that's really unimaginable to repeat what they do, because I'm afraid of heights myself ) When you stand on an edge and look below, it attracts you and you really feel the body begins to kinda move forward for some reason, and that's the time to go away of the edge and sit down for a while. Odd effect of heights.

I work for an elevator maintain company, in occupational safety and health bureau; do paper work a lot to make sure we have all documents prepared in case of screening or accident. But the main thing is preventing accidents and injuries at the company in the first place. I’m new at it, have been doing it for five months. Before that, I worked in emergency elevator service for the same company as a mechanic of one of quick reaction groups. That was a heavier and more interesting job, but isn’t as well paid as the current one.

You're welcome I can't see any pics for some reason My hats off to you trying to read and write English. I could never learn Russian. Words are to long! LOL Guess you learned in college ? Thanks Yeah, long words are killing me when I need to check spelling in a text in Russian ;D True, I learned English in college, but all I remember from it is just two words: welding and metal fatigue ;D

I like Spanish. Never tried to learn it though. In my opinion, one of the main things about learning a foreign language is learning it with someone, not alone. So you made a good choice to learn Spanish together. I guess you have a lot of opportunities to hear and use Spanish in Amarillo, but is it kinda vital to know Spanish over there or it'd be just some plus or it's not of any crucial use? I live in Bashkortostan and one of the official languages here is Bashkir, but I don't speak it and that's not a problem for a comfortable living in here. By the way about city forums, I know one interesting website. Next time you move somewhere, you won't need to find a newspaper site www.city-data.com/ There are tons of information about different cities. But since Amarillo really isn't a major one, there's just few threads about it. I heard getting an order to build a house costs quite as much as building the house itself. Is that true?

shark, how do you think? I've been looking for a forum like this one for a long time, because a little city forum is better than any social network like facebook. In my city we have a little, but extremely popular forum where you can find some city news even before they are published on TV or newspapers. We make news ourselves. So I was interested to find something like that in Amarillo. You know, sedateness and calmness work not only for way to live, but for the place in the Internet to spend time on. Social Networks are crazy, but this forum is nice You may ask why Amarillo? Just I have a penpal from Amarillo and I was interested if it's possible to learn something from the forum to better understand the penpal. I find this forum isn't that active like it was before, concluding from the topics, but it's still nice because I can ask questions here and get answers

Really? Mormons? must not be like the ones we have over here in Utah, etc. I bet they are absolutely the same LOL Their missionaries come mostly from Utah and California. I tried to converse with them to practice my English, but you know it's not that interesting, because they didn't go with me when I invited them somewhere and so on. New idiom to me increasing my cosio-cultural competence. Thanks and give him a hard time. ;D ;D ;D ;D

I believe edges aren't sharp enough to hurt, but they still able to chop, because I checked they guys' shields and had seen signs of chopping. The idea is the swords aren't considered to be a cold weapon because of soft of steel used. It's not strong enough, and observers were warned to give the guys some more place to act, because of bits of steel or wood that could fly away right into people.
But I don't know anything about it. It's just my guess.

I heard there are tons of different religions in the U.S., but maybe not that many in Amarillo and Baptism looks the broadest one in there (in the city), no?
To be honest, there's not as many religion streams in Russia as in the United States, but it still has ones. I can't say Orthodoxy is some main religion over here, because Russia position itself like multi-cultural and multi-confession country and the biggest religions here are Orthodoxy, Islam and Buddhism as in the rest of the world anyway. I'm not sure what branch of Islam is presented in Bashkortostan the most: sunni or shiits, because I'm not good at such things, but Islam and Orthodoxy is the biggest ones in my city at least. You also can find Mormons here ^_^
