About

This web-site was created to share my funny and sad life stories. 

The Notes (aka Stories) contain a lot of adult language so please do not read them to your kids and/or parents, and to yourself, if you’re a prude, stuck-up asshole, and/or a kid under 13. 

The Notes mean no harm. They’re here to preserve and share my memories and to entertain the readers.

The name has a dual meaning. 

First - Spit Take is the act of spitting out one's drink/food in response to something funny or surprising. 

So, with the name I’m implying that my Notes are funny or shocking, or both. 

Second - the slang meaning of the word Spit – to say something, to express one’s thoughts. 

So, Spit and Take Notes…   

The one on the Home page resembles Laundry Guide because you may or may not spit out your drink/food while reading the Notes.

The ones in each Note are pretty self-explanatory and meant for visual navigation:

  !  + EN = Funny Note in English;

  !  + RU = Funny Note in Russian;

💧+ EN = Sad Note in English;

💧+ RU = Sad Note in Russian.

Each Note will NOT be translated to both languages. Because even though both languages are rich, descriptive, and beautiful, some things just get lost in translation. 

Some Notes are in Russian, and others - in English.

And that’s because I’m an Eastern-European living in the USA. 

Russian is one of my native languages, while English is the one I speak where I live.

Since we’re talking about me, I’m 40; I’m a single mom (hence, the Notes about Mom Life, Dating & Relationships); I live on the East Coast with my toddler and 2 cats.

Because I like reading and writing, and this web-site is for people who like reading and have the imagination for it. Also, dealing with the rules, censorship, and Karen's on social media is not my cup of tea.
