What does this say in English?

Da ya sobiraus ostavatsya. Posmotrim gde budu rabotat. Obyazatelno dam znat. Ty seichas gde?

Posted by: FlashingEyes

Roughly...she is answering yes to your question about remaining.

She wants the two of you to start thinking about/looking for where she will work. This is important to her to know/understand.

The last thing is her asking you where do you work now?

Thank you ...thank you..thank you!

Da ya sobiraus ostavatsya. Posmotrim gde budu rabotat. Obyazatelno dam znat. Ty seichas gde?

More literally:

Yes, I am planning to stay. We'll see where I will work. Without fail I will let you know. Where are you now?

Yes, take Vyesna's translation. FlashingEyes is a little off--she is not indicating that she wants the two of you to starting thinking together about where she will work. She's just saying "we'll see" meaning that she doesn't know yet. She then just says that she'll let you know--nothing about it being important to her. Small points, but it is a different meaning.

Thank you guys, I appreciate it. It's actually a chat between two Russian girls, both in the U.S. illegally and trying to scam men into green card marriages and/or just use guys and play games with them. They are just young and stupid.

Here's the other girl's quick reply":

Da ne mogu ya poka pozvonit. Chto za pridurok? Why?

My guess is that she's wondering why the other girl moved so quickly and is now divorced or one of the two.

The fact is that the man she was with found out that he was being scammed and dumped her quickly and kicked her out.

Is that about right? (and it's strange that they only send such short emails about such eventful things in their lives).

I can't call right now. What kind of idiot is he? (Or "who is this idiot?" is a possible translation).

That's funny Jill.

The 'idiot' is the man who got rid of her after finding out she was using him for a green card marriage.

These are two very immature and very stupid Russian girls (at 24, they are still 'girls') who are here and all they do is work as illegal nannies and go out to clubs to play love games with men. They dislike American men in general but one of them tried to use one for a green card marriage (they had an arrangement) but even within the arrangement, he quickly found out that she was lying to him and using him and playing love games and he got rid of her.

Now, he's labeled the 'idiot'.

Live and learn, I guess.

Thank you Jill
