IE sucks. I we...Beer offers never need an excuse. <br /><br />IE sucks. I went to Firefox years ago and never looked back. Except now Firefox is starting to suck a little too and I'm starting to give into the shiny lure of Chrome.<br /><br />I just meant about people becoming less agrarian, if newspapers are advising people to keep their children away from the slaughter. My MIL, who sure watched the slaughter as a child and who let her own children watch it, does everything the newspaper says and was bitching because she heard people let their children watch the slaughter.<br /><br />I hate the captcha thing and it totally sucks.Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933997864575809110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-26558607130517744492012-11-04T23:23:28.247+02:002012-11-04T23:23:28.247+02:00Hi.

Actually, I had this pain in the butt problem with my IE and I was not able to post comments on your blog and when I finally could I got so excited by this fact that the out of the blue comment was the result of this excitement. Anyways, that offer still stands and I found your email, so will drop you a line.<br /><br />I am very curious of the changes you are observing. To me, the places for Kurban on the asian side were very much agrarian, but if you mean having it done in the garden, then I guess I have not witnessed that.<br /><br />Btw, that captcha passwords for your comments are also a pain in the b. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799914692887174209.post-53140250258367876792012-11-04T23:10:32.023+02:002012-11-04T23:10:32.023+02:00Wow, really nice photos.

And given my kid's reaction to the cow, it looks like I can ignore all of this year's admonitions in the paper to not let kids watch.<br /><br />Which I found depressing anyway-- the Istanbul disconnect from agrarian life... Of course I'm disconnected too, but shit sure changes fast here.<br /><br />Koszyczek, you once mentioned going out for a beer sometime. I failed at finding an email address for you on your site (which admittedly I can't read).

I got blood smeared on my forehead (for good luck) and was generally taken for a journalist. As a word of advice if you ever find yourself in this situation: don't deny it. You will disappoint people. The description is in polish, but you can check out the pictures. This has taken place on the outskirts of Atasehir.<br />http://koszyczek.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/swieto-ofiar-wizyta-na-targu-bydla/<br /><br />And at the same time, just about a km away...<br />http://koszyczek.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/tymczasem-okolo-kilometra-dalej/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
