My publishing house just released the book that I edited. Oh boy, it did take me some effort and time, over a year. I worked on it at home, at Vienna airport, Washington DC and Kabul. It is a book on the history of Lithuania translated into Belarusian. The idea was to bridge a gap between our small nations, which argue pretty much about everything, and present a Lithuanian point of view to Belarusians. The translator was not an expert on the subject, so I had to check the translation for the accuracy, check all the proper names and terminology, provide comments and polish the language. Probably about a hundred people will be able to appreciate the product, but I still feel satisfaction.

That's great Rudy! Congrats.
I'd buy a copy even if I don't understand the language. It could become one of the hundred books I bought without ever reading them.
BTW, I clearly remember that you wrote a book about your country history. Have you published it?

Well, looks like it's my 9000th post on this forum.
I won't celebrate it cos I'm not in the mood for this
Took me 10 years and 9000 posts to realize what a fool I could be.
That's really sad......

Even more dangerous if you compete with others.... and often win!
Quite a bit on my mind lately. I've recently become unemployed, which naturally ramps up stress levels. But I'm on a fitness kick lately, so that helps keep things in check. For the above reasons I've been less active on here and in other areas as I've found distractions keeping me busy.
But I still enjoy the forum. Lately more Chit Chat than the F1 forum, seems we agree to disagree more easily in here.
And I think we should throw a 9000 post party for a certain poster here. I think the forums would have died at some periods without her!

Day by day other injured people lose the battle with life. This morning it was #48th turn. He was my neighbour.

Is there something more awful than parents losing a son in such terrible incident?
