Genealogy / Looking for information on Szczepanski, Brauder [4]
Hi Hania.
My name is Szczepanski....
Szczepan~ski (in Polish spelled with an accent over the n and pronounced roughly "shcheh-PINE-skee") is an adjective in form, meaning "of, from, related to Szczepan," which is one of the Polish forms of the name "Stephen." So in many cases this name means simply "kin of Szczepan," in some other cases it might mean "one from the place of Szczepan" where that place was once owned or founded by a prominent Szczepan and bears a name such as Szczepanki or Szczepanowo, something like that. It's a very common name, as of 1990 there were 31,208 Polish citizens named Szczepan~ski, living all over the country.

Love / Are you in a Polish-nonPolish relationship? [150]
I'm sorry to hear that. Yes, that is a big problem if you can't communicate. Because communication and the ability to talk about your feelings, thoughts etc. is very important in a relationship. And it's hard if you can't. You will need to start learning Polish and he english. You can teach each other.
What you can do, is write him a letter in english, that you feel you hurt his feelings, but don't know how, and you are sorry for that, but you would never do that, because you really care for him, and we can translate it here for you.
He can answer back in Polish also.

Moralny, you don't have to appologize, but thank you.
I think you know more english than you realize, you write very well! Isn't that right everybody? We've seen worse on here...
It's really nice that you want to keep Polki away from foreigners, that you care about the future of Poland and it's people, but I don't think you can do much to stop that.
Hey, come on...you're making me blush.....

Moralny, how many Polkas do you want for yourself?
It's nice that you care for Polish ladies, but you have to let them go. Give them opportunities to become somebody, give them a chance in life, independence, let them make their own choices and decissions, let them be happy with a man, regardless of his nationality.
But you need only one women to make you happy.
And she can come from anywhere in the world.

Life / The strangest things in Poland [468]
When and if I get married again, I'm keeping it on my left hand, because I'm right handed and it would always be in the way.
What's strange in Poland is that women in stores sit at the cash register.
I've heard poles call medium size clothes "emki", small - "eski", Large - "elki"
The door-knobs are round
The hot water is on the right marked with red.

News / What are your 10 fave things about Poland? And 10 least favourite? [130]
What I like about Poland are little stores everywhere. A sklepik here, another one there, warzywniarz over there, a cukiernia there...
The ice-cream is really, really good.
They use polite words like dziękuję bardzo, proszę pani, proszę bardzo, etc.
The guys treat women and children with respect.
The dogs are well groomed. Not talking about the strays.

My little 3-year old has a fever too. Took him to hospital, he likes to watch Tom and Jerry when he's sick, but the x has him for 5 days now and he's crying and feeling even worse because he wants to be with me. But the f^^cking American court system devides these little kids between the father who has no clue as how to care for a small child.
Sorry. I'm just upset and worried about my baby.

I'm divorced. Never planned on it. But I got into an accident, was in a wheel-chair and the American guy couldn't get rid of me fast enough, like an old piece of furniture.
Which is OK. It turns out better for me anyway.

Life / The School Year in Polish Schools [21]
In US first grade starts at age 6. Kindergarten at age 5. Pre-school at 3 or 4.
My daughter goes to kindergarten. She starts at 9:AM till 3:30 PM. She's there all day. I think it's too long for a 5-year old to be in school all day. This also was recently changed from being half-day in kindergarten, to full day.

Maybe Polish women want to get away from controlling men who tell them to stay at home and cook and clean after them, instead of finding a guy who will share in the house-hold responsibities.

History / Poland During Russian Rule [7]
I know russian. You can send them to me.
My grandmother was born in 1901. When she was growing up, part of Poland belonged to Russia and she was forbidden to speak Polish. She lived in the Lublin area. She said some Russians were very cruel.She had a Saint Bernard when she was about 10 years old and the Russian soldiers wanted to buy him from her, but she didn't want to sell him. He would walk to school everyday with her, and one day he didn't show up. The Russian soldiers stold him. She was devastated.

The rings get me confused.
OK. when engaged in Poland, the ring is on left hand on the woman. But when she marries it gets moved to the right hand?
And do guys wear their wedding band on the right hand?
is that correct? Do all Polish people follow that rule?
In the US everything is on the left hand.
