Love / Ok GUYS....THIS is what women want...stop acting lame [238]


Excuse me?

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]

I can take a car drive anytime. At least, I get to stop and a hug a tree on the way.


Allright, calm down Krysia. You just have some more trees.. :)

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]


yeah, that's about 6-7 hrs drive (but a very nice one), especially thru Wisconsin.
See what you can do...

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]


Please take your time to find yourself :)

Polish ducks say: kwa, kwa, kwa.

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]

domesticated ducks are not good in flying. You must be a wild one then.

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]


kaczor ran to get his dictionary..

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]

Might as well make it for taste of Polonia...

He is LC.

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]

Czesc Panocku. Glad to see you promoting He-tza-go.
You're right Kaczor, sledz is swimming thru the post wiggling the tail quickly.

USA, Canada / CHICAGO BLUESFEST JUNE 7- 10 [111]

Oh, a chance to meet another member :)

USA, Canada / Polonia in USA - Happy 4th of July! [42]

I just came from a SPECTACULAR fireworks show, with patriotic songs blasting from huge speakers in background, and an estimated 40,000 people gathered around. There were 4 of us, drinking beer, snacking on crackers & cheese...with cherries for dessert, hanging out afterwords. The weather is just perfect and it was a perfect evening.

It's going to be hard to get up tomorrow morning...

Life / Polish Men and Fashion [90]


I do...just for special occasions.. I want to be comfortable, when I travel. I would take with me the fanciest dress I could find and afford, if i were going to let's say a wedding. I have to wear conservative clothes at work, so any chance I get, I roam around in comfortable clothes. I love them. No pink rollers in my hair when grocery shopping though... :)

Life / Polish Men and Fashion [90]

I have to say that people in Poland "overdress". I feel so under dressed in my jeans and T-shirts, when I visit my family. Even, when we go for a stroll in the park, my nieces are wearing high hills and dressy clothes, and here I am, wearing gym shoes...

Food / wiejska sausage - do you cook it / peel it? [22]

Oh, oh, another polish custom died in The US... No more rosol and schabowy for sunday dinner? lol. Anyway, the aroma of baked/pan fried/boiled/grilled sasuage...can't beat it. I'm getting hungry.

News / A thought on Poland! [140]


Puzz, I went to Oswiecim (Auschwitz), when I was in 6th grade (long time ago) :)
I still remember the horror of this place. Not to mention, the stories from people who were actually there and survived (including my uncle). The camp was built to kill people, and it is just one of many.

Food / wiejska sausage - do you cook it / peel it? [22]

I see, regionp that you got the names under control :) How about the "white" uncooked polish sausage? I love making it with peepers, onions and mushrooms in a tomato sauce, kind of italian style. Ask your wife to make it, or better yet, make it yourself... Delicioso.

Any of the sausages mentioned can be put on the grill and today is the day! I hope it will not rain this afternoon.

Genealogy / Looking for Malgorzata Musial, Jedrzejow [22]

Good luck to you. All the best with the surgery.
In a few hours, when people in Poland get up someone from Jedrzejow may respond...who knows! :)

Genealogy / Looking for Malgorzata Musial, Jedrzejow [22]

I hope, the family is still there. People in Poland don't move a lot. You may want to send a certified letter.

Genealogy / Looking for Malgorzata Musial, Jedrzejow [22]

I know Jedrzejow pretty well and the address looks like a typical, residential one.
You call her a friend...why didn't you keep in touch?

UK, Ireland / Unemployed due to Polish who work in the UK [126]


Michal, your are polish pretending to be English, aren't you? lol

USA, Canada / It's Official... I'm finally moving to Canada... [76]


Well, my brother is not Taurus (born Jan 13th - whatever the sign is), but he is a forest engineer, majored in forestry.
He takes a very good care of his back yard 'forest". I'm sure "Shawn" would be pampered!
I hope Witek's family have one, it would be easy, but I know my brother would be very happy to get the seeds really from Canada... original.. :)

USA, Canada / It's Official... I'm finally moving to Canada... [76]


I don't know, but i suspect many, very many. However, my brother did not find any Cad [
maple trees in any when he called.

Oh, the seed looks PRICELESS!!! Can you watch for them in the fall and send me some?
Make it 'who will find the most seeds" game for the kids in the fall - I suppose.

I would ask my brother to name the tree Shawn...

USA, Canada / It's Official... I'm finally moving to Canada... [76]


Thanks Witek, this might be a lead. Where?

USA, Canada / It's Official... I'm finally moving to Canada... [76]

Hey Shawn, my brother in Poland wants to plant a canadian maple in his yard. I cant' send him a little tree, and I can't find any seeds...I asked at nurseries and they looked at me funny...so do you know where I can get seeds? :)

USA, Canada / It's Official... I'm finally moving to Canada... [76]


I would not be so quick to criticize others if I were you ...
We all just type, mostly in a hurry and slip now and then. Besides, this is not a spelling bee contest.

USA, Canada / It's Official... I'm finally moving to Canada... [76]

Congratulations D. You must be pretty good in what you do, and don't pay attention to Witek. Real Canadians are very nice, welcoming and friendly.

Language / Some example sentences using each of the cases in Polish [33]

Ella, thanks for the grammar lesson. I think, I had it in 4th, 5th and so on grades...
I would not be able to explain it, like you did. I totally forgot what narzednik is!

Language / Info on Polish Diminutives [14]


FISH, I'm impressed. Too bad you're not single. :)

Life / Polish Kids - Polish speaking? Bilingual? only English? [56]

Language is a living thing. You don't use it - you lose it. I can still read Russian, but I can not speak or understand it (some words maybe). I used to be quite fluent in French- not any more...but I'm happy, I can keep Polish and English alive. :)

Work / American Lawyer in Poland [6]

The laws in Poland are still murky. People don't practice suing over anything - yet. Maybe you want to start a trend? It could be quite helpful to many unjustly hurt people (for any reason) who don't even think about getting a lawyer...
