Yeah must be Ohio. They even drink Pop :) Do you drink pop or soda?
I think everyone expects to get wet this day. Even out on the streets.

Life / Smingus-Dyngus - Polish tradition [155]
Dang sleds (don't you say that in Chi town or is that Ohio?) You can wiki it.
AKA Lany Poniedziałek, Polewanka or Oblewanka.
Early in the Polish evolution of the tradition, the Dyngus custom was clearly differentiated from Śmigus: Dyngus was the exchange of gifts (usually eggs, often decorated like pisankas), under the threat of water splashing if one party did not have any eggs ready, while Śmigus (from Śmigać, to whoosh, ie make a whipping noise) referred to the striking.
Later the focus shifted to the courting aspect of the ritual, and young unmarried girls were the only acceptable targets. A boy would sneak into the bedroom of the particular girl he fancied and awaken her by completely drenching her with multiple buckets of water. Politics played an important role in proceedings, and often the boy would get access to the house only by arrangement with the girl's mother.

Life / How much do you HATE POLISH PEOPLE and POLAND [1260]
Please don't if you're going to take stuff like this to heart. We don't need another winer. If you've been here long enough to see what types of things are being said about PL working in the UK and stealing jobs, maybe you'd understand his sense of humor....which of course I'm used to by now.
i almost feel tempted to join the forum, so i can start a thread "why is Gregorz such an antagonistic little s**t"

King Carol bought coral-coloured beads for queen Caroline
Powiedziała pchła pchle: pchnij, pchło, pchłę pchłą.
Pchła pchnęła pchłę pchłą - i po pchle!
Any idea what this is ?
I've heard it said before but when I asked they just laughed !

The nightlife is good, but I don't like it because it's way too crowded. The Slovakia side is a little less.

It's really painful to learn by yourself, but tons of fun once you get the hang of it. It's good to learn both also. Some powder days can be awesome on a board.

Well, the conversation ran into a little pothole named gosc. So, I had to say a thing or 2. It's all good now.

Also, not many people know what CT is or New Haven. There are a lot of people from other countries in the forums. We just had a lesson in another thread for CT, so we're good here now.

No need to spend a lot of money. It's not the valkue that's important anyway. I think a wire xfer is the safest. You can exchange US currency almost everywhere.
Can I send American money or will she have a problem exchanging it?
