I take my babysitter’s feelings into account. I understand that her declaration was not without substance. Moreover, I shall safeguard her identity forever.

And now, on the morning after of the first round of elections, elections that seem to up the real possibility of Nik’s ultimate victory in two weeks, I am more concerned than ever about my upcoming babysitting needs.

About the raise (even though it is a topic of discussion under a separate subhead), I am not sure that offering her additional money would alter her feelings about the Border Dash heretofore contemplated and duly hmmed by me.

Does this imply that if living standards were improved, political considerations would be diminished? This seems plausible. However, political considerations are also key in obtaining such SOL improvements. Also plausible?

This is the fish that bites its own tail. And, like most fish, after all this time, it is beginning to smell.

Ultimately, I believe (as other commentators have commentated) that my “babysitter” carries memories of times past and her strong feelings about Nik and Co. stem from this. I am not a great defender or propagator of ideology-based decision making, but its influence must also be acknowledged.

BTW - did you tell your baby sitter that you're planning to share her thoughts with the general public? Well... you should probably hurry up with that raise, she's a smart girl and emotional too.

On the up side, as a good father, you're ensuring continuity and stability.

Cheers

The problem in Serbia is that we wait all the time, and we are so dependent on the leaders. We expect them to be magicians. Nothing is possible if we don't change our habits and focus more on what we are doing.

Here we are, practicing our English, lamenting on the current political situation and our Serbian demise without our host who is nowhere to be found:)

(a natural order of things, perhaps. )
the focal point is the babysitter with her flight plan (what if I removed the "L"?!) - just one?
is it an instant f(l)ight plan? (a single, or a return ticket?)
is there a back-up version for other version-outcomes? (judging by the size of the letters, shaping the"secret info", there should be, at least I think there should be a/the "b,c,d,e,d,c,b plan(s)", with or without an "L"

I would like to offer three answers:
1. This is Serbia, bre!
2. Your babysitter has a politics embedded in her DNA, by birth or, during her child development, by intoxication. And she is ready to be the next Minister of Social Affairs or a head of any other Ministry (as any average Serbian can).
3. She got burned. Badly! She still has nightmares of past time. She learned a lesson and doesn't want to repeat it.

So, start looking for a new babysitter. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#komentari Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:20:29 GMT kuki http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/ Re: She is not alone http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#k138089 I will, however, suggest she adopt a wait-and-see attitude.
Smart advice !
Of course, from your point of view ! ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#komentari Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:26:39 GMT nestorijanac http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/ no such fight http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#k138065
To my way of thinking, and according to your scenario - you are the dog in this fight.
Sorry to disappoint both you & your babysitter, but there is no such fight.

I will never forget Fifth of the October. In that time I was in Warsaw, me girlfriend (today wife) and I left Belgrade several months earlier. .... I use to participate on (literally) every opposition rally during Nineties and I felt very sick that very day for Serbian history, because I missed it! ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#komentari Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:09:37 GMT Aleksandar Stosic http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/ Re: The fun starts... http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#k138012
BTW, I have a good friend who was one of the strong opposition fighters in Serbia in the end of eightees and first years of ninetees. He left in 1992, lives abroad since then, has a good private job and family, and comes back to Serbia regularly. He is aware that he had to leave (because it should be killing for him should he have stayed), but he knows that it was so "dynamic" (= active, fighting, unexpected, every-day-changing...) and he is sorry he missed "those years". ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#komentari Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:35:51 GMT MilutinM http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/ 1992 http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#k138002
Your babysitter probably remembers 1992, and that famous exodus of foreign diplomats in a convoy. I also remember. Though not a babysitter, I earned my living owing to foreigners in Belgrade at that time. When they left, I had to close my small business.

So, that is what your babysitter "knows". So, in case Nick The Undertaker wins, pack up yourself. Prepare to go home, because your babysitter will already be there. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#komentari Tue, 15 Jan 2008 11:27:40 GMT Lighthouse http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/ Dilemma http://blog.b92.net/text/1918/Border%20Dashing/#k137987
