The story of Esther and the skin in which she lived – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Nowadays, a crocodile can easily be called a person whose appearance is far from generally accepted standards of beauty. They say it's painfully scary (terrible). And for this girl, being a “crocodile” was extraordinary. Esther Parnell was born in Kenley, North Carolina on March 5, 1926. She was one of six children in the family. The girl's sister and three brothers were born with completely normal skin, and Esther herself and her brother William were affected by ichthyosis, a rare skin disease whose name comes from the Greek word ichthys - “fish”. “. But the brother and sister were especially scaly. And they were compared to alligators that were hunted in the state. Severe ichthyosis not only makes the skin very dry and cracked, but also slows down hair growth. As a result, the children practically lost their eyelashes, and poor Esther lost almost all the hair on her head. Their appearance determined their future fate and career, and brother and sister began to create human miracles. William was known as Aloa - the alligator boy, and Esther performed under the name Alice. The duo were often referred to as the "crocodile-skinned twins", although they were not actually twins. Most of the information in the advertising brochures was complete nonsense. According to one of them, the appearance was explained by the fact that their mother, being pregnant with twins, was afraid of the alligator. Another potential client stated that although they were twins, the couple were different ages. Sometimes their names were changed, sometimes they were left orphans, and sometimes they “confused medicine” with their condition. William was a good man. But his passion for alcohol destroyed him. In the end, he finally drank himself to death and died in 1959. Esther, on the contrary, blossomed. Her charming smile and charm captivated everyone who met her. She married Thomas Blackmon at the age of twenty-two and became known as the "World's Strangest Mother" in 1948 when she gave birth to her first child. But Esther did not stop there and gave birth to six more. They were all completely healthy and had perfect skin. No one inherited ichthyosis. Esther also grew professionally - she became a member of the Showmen's Association and was officially involved in show business for 56 years. She also starred in two films. In 1973, the film “Mutations” was released, and in 1977, the film “The Guardian” Esther Blackmon died on August 24, 2003, leaving behind seven children, 16 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren after her beloved husband, remaining in the memory of those around her as a bright, bright and , despite his appearance, he is a happy person.

A story about what to promise – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia I have been living with my girlfriend for two years now. A few months ago I proposed to her. I quit my job almost immediately (I didn’t mind because I promised to take care of everyday life and cook). She doesn't do day-to-day activities, even though she promised to (when they were both working). The house is dirtier than when they both worked, and now she cooks 2-4 times a week and 1-1.5 times a day. Talking with her mouth doesn’t help, she says the kitchen needs to be renovated, it’s inconvenient. I cook in this (why it was normal before, history is silent). And other excuses. I realize with horror that every day I love her more and more and perceive her as a wary woman. I give her resources - she is my friend. I don’t know what to do, apparently it takes a lot of willpower not to be lazy in becoming a housewife. Mine couldn't. I probably couldn't either. Working gives you some discipline. I myself tried to cook for two. In principle, this is real, but then her unemployment begins to irritate her much more. Especially if I come home from work and dinner is not ready yet. Oh, I'll start now. Stsuko, I almost always come at the same time! Why can't this be done in advance? And this “now” stretches for an hour just to DO cooking (let’s go smoke for 10 minutes and sit on the phone for 20 minutes) and the same amount of time to play on the phone while in the toilet. And so in half the cases Her daily routine is as follows: Sleep (10-12 hours) Play (5-6 hours) Walk with the dog (30 minutes - an hour and a half, depending on whether I walk the dog in the evening) or not) Free time with me (joining games, movies, anime, TV series, etc.) – 4 hours Daily life activities: 30 minutes – 2-3 hours. If he doesn't cook, he can clean up the hallway. Do I understand correctly that we will still be separated? I don’t want to live with a withdrawn woman, and in general sloths irritate me, but she doesn’t want to change. In general, so far I have at least changed my mind about marriage, and at most about building a relationship with her. It may make sense to renovate the kitchen the way she wants, but it's not certain that it will help. Maybe I'll just spend the money, I'm 30, she's 26 PS And now I can't go back to work. Useless It's a pity, that would suit me. Source link Source link

the story of the Taganrog herald – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia 200 years ago, Alexander Borisovich Lakier, an outstanding Russian historian and heraldist, was born in Taganrog. His works, published in the mid-19th century, are still interesting today. Lakier traveled around the world for many years, leaving behind not only scientific works, but also unique notes about his travels. His travels include not only Europe, but also America and Palestine. Returning to Taganrog, he was actively involved in entrepreneurship and human rights activities. His main scientific work is the essay “Russian heraldry in Taganrog, several historical buildings are associated with it.” You can find them at the following addresses: st. Alexandrovskaya, 21. Grecheskaya, 42, st. Grecheskaya, 44, each Turgenevsky, 5, st. Chekhov, 96. In addition, the crypt of Alexander Borisovich has been preserved at the Old Cemetery. But the main architectural attraction associated with it is Lakiera Castle in the suburbs of Taganrog. The building is now abandoned and in disrepair. They promised to fix it for decades. But even in such a dilapidated state, the house attracts guests. For example, it is a popular place among cycling enthusiasts. Participants of VeloTaganrog often visit this place: Previously reported: Two worlds of improvement of Taganrog: what is the difference between announcements and comments S.
