Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]

Be strong and assertive, but no one wants to hear girl/guy complain. Waste of time. There's nothing wrong with being straightforward. Often times, with women, it's misconstrued of being not so nice..Whereas, a man is considered to be strong.

Love / THE TYPICAL POLISH WOMAN? [148]

Instead of complaining and you can do a better job; than maybe you should've done it in the first place. Trust me it's not a good tactical practice to be effective.

With positive results? I've never had to complain to get things done or whine either. Coin toss..

Point proven: Just so we don't have to carry on about your right to ***** to get things done. If it works for you; then more power to you. I will gaurantee as a result, you'll end up doing more work because you wasted your time and lost respect in the long run. Make your self clear and get it right the first time.

Life / Why are Polish people cheap? [126]

Being smart with money isn't an indication of being cheap. The one's that don't have it (ratcatcher..) are the one's to point out ridiculous stereotypes. Being ignorant is CHEAP. People that have money don't have to pretend like others. I make money by being smart with money. As a result, the outcome is very beneficial and secure. If you can't pay cash; than rethink if you really need the materialistic. I have never sacrificed my standards by utilizing money to my advantage! I'd like to see (ratcatcher's portfolio), to be so judgemental...

Food / TINNED CORN (MAIZE) GALORE IN POLAND [11]

Oh, I just thought of POLENTA, which is corn based. You can make a pizza with that as the base. Slice, layer with a marinara and choice of toppings. I'm trying to picture corn on pizza? Another way, Polenta Tomale layered. It's a Mexican version. Mix rice, salsa, choice of meat, layer with cheddar cheese and top with guacamole/sourcream.

History / Russia: Poland responsible for WW II [300]

This theory was presented and put into official military documents. Warsaw has inquired into this allegation and Russia will not comment?

Food / TINNED CORN (MAIZE) GALORE IN POLAND [11]

Yes, Lori you're right. It comes in two forms: powder or pre-made where you slice it in rounds or if you want, make that from scratch.

Love / Need advice with Polish girl, I like her but she has a boyfriend. [114]

First, her relationship is in trouble with her Polish boyfriend. She likes the attention from you; if she's lacking it in her current relationship. She has crossed a line with you with kissing, sleeping with you and telling you how she feels. Now, she needs to be honest with herself as to what she wants. Don't get involved until she figures it out. May get your heart broken if this continues. You obviously like her or you wouldn't be asking what the next step should be.

Life / Top 3 Most Important Things about which polish dentists will LIE to you bigtime [46]

Curious: Polish Dentists..? Mixed reviews here @PF. Personal experience: My husband has straight nice teeth, but since coming to US he needs extensive repair to teeth. I don't know what happened in Poland, but after an unfinished root canal (tooth fell out) TG it was in back where you can't see. We have excellent dental insurance and basically, they have to do an implant $4,000.00 (W/insurance out of pocket). He has described dentistry as not the best? I've heard of others going there just because it is inexpensive? He's looking forward to US dentistry. I joke that he will look more American..Why is that? When in Europe, people new I was American by my teeth?

Life / Top 3 Most Important Things about which polish dentists will LIE to you bigtime [46]

Harry: The tooth is gone..He literally has a surgeon handling it? The process will even take several months. My husband thinks this is reasonable, considering the lack of care a in Poland. He equates time=$. I did look into private insurance extensively.. The US is in dire peril over our Health System. Our Private Insurance: A few #"s $18,000., base $10,000 deductible, co-pays per visit/RX....Potentially, yearly, minimum of $20-$30K. No joking! Perhaps, Poland is an option. Sixty million don't have health insurance. That's a crisis. I believe in Socialized medicine if you factor the costs and pitfalls in US. Dental alone, is $90 a month, but doesn't include copays and the services not covered by plan..

News / Polish priest publishes sex guide [97]

When you join the Catholic Church it's to give and honor God only and that is your calling when you forgo Celibacy. Luther felt compelled to offer the Lutheran religion which does allow marriage and instead of a Priest a Pastor. A Priest needs to understand their inner desires and how they want to honor the higher power. I highly doubt the reversal of Celibacy within the Catholic Church?

The book published by Franciscan Friar reinforces that it's ok to be open with sex when married. Good concession to reinforce. Perhaps, people won't feel inhibited due to religion-that's good..Qualified? He says his credentials come from counseling married couples (perhaps, that was quite educating?) He goes as far as saying it should be "saucy, surprising and fantasy packed?")... Backed by Catholic Church... If any PF members get to read it- enlighten us with synopsis..

Language / Suggestions for Children learning Polish [25]

My husband was from Poland but he passed away when our daughter was 14 mos.

My condolences to you and your daughter. In honor of your late husband, teach and expose your daughter to her culture and language. It may seem daunting, but try to continue with your Polish, expose her to your Polish community (I"m not sure where you are?) There should be schools, Polish Homes, Churches. This Forum is excellent because both languages are spoken. The best is what your doing: taking her to Poland. At this age, they're sponges for another language. Plan on this as often as you can. Look into children's books and DVD cartoons are a great way. My kids loved their "grandpa Tata." He didn't speak English, but trust me they communicated with a natural bond. Gestures and the context of words fall into place and make sense. Listen. I'm on the same journey. Continue your belief that he is with her-because he is and always will be.

Love / Need advice with Polish girl, I like her but she has a boyfriend. [114]

Insecurity, co-dependency, infidelity, dishonesty within one's self, self-pity. Remember, when it's right you will know. Asking the above is a vital sign of potencial heartbreak. We all want to be happy.. The problem is, when it's not right, we think he/she will change and we disillusion ourselves into believing it will. Take PF advice..

UK, Ireland / England, Dirty, Expensive and a dangerous place to live? [205]

I was in London. It wasn't necessarily, dirty, but it wasn't pristine with cleanliness.. I travelled to town by the tube. I didn't feel it was dangerous per se. People stare A LOT. Apparently, I look American by my teeth and hair color? It is very expensive.. Harrod's, very nice restaurants and shows. American money is painful to exchange. I didn't like the rates-yikes. I was at a Doctor's home as a guest, so I'm not well versed in how dangerous it is living in different areas.

Life / Are Polish people civilised or not? My thoughts... [52]

girls on the other hand are so up themselves that its not even funny. I know they are good looking - but they appear to be quite arrogant... shaggable but not dating material.

taxes are being hiked to pay for these unemployed migrant workers.

guys that come to Ireland to be rather obnoxious, rude and very loud and to be honest intimidating

This is quite an astounding overview, of Polish People.. I really can't believe the audacity to go on Polish Forum and ask an objective opinion? To make such a generalization, makes one believe perhaps, the problem is within yourself. Lack of confidence, no self-respect ("shagging"), to assume your tax dollars are supporting migrant workers. Perhaps, present your case with facts: demographics and fiscal figures. Seanus

Impressed very diplomatic reasoning.

POLISH POTATO PANCAKES

I made this over the weekend.. I made a Polish Beef stew/gravy, red peppers, onions, mushrooms and served over (Placki ziemniaczane-Potato pancakes), Place a dollop of sour cream. Time consuming, but easy. This is how I serve the potato pancakes. Smacznego!

News / Polish transfer of Family Estate in Will? [14]

Yesterday, was Father's Day! We called Tata in Poland to wish him a special day and tell him how much we love him. Blind sighted: he conveyed that he was meeting with an attorney today to leave us the family home and has excluded his brother ( he was given property when first married). He wanted my husband to get off the phone and tell me right away. My husband and I had tears in our hearts. Question: Legally we want to ensure that it is air tight, so no problems later. Recently, I dealt with the loss of my grandfather and almost my mother. It is the most unpleasant thing to deal with. I can only think of my loss and other's only care about $$$ (truly wished I had gone to Poland for a reprieve). When anything monetarily is involved the claws come out. In the US, A Power of Attorney is named in the will and an Estate Attorney carries out all distribution and legalities. My question is this: What are the proceedings in Poland. I never want to go through what I have with my family again. How do I inquire and pay to have all the legal work and personal wishes of my Tata honored?

News / Polish transfer of Family Estate in Will? [14]

plk123

the will can be challenged there just like in the US.. there is really no way to 100% proofing it.

True, but my grandfather bullet proofed his will. It was impossible to challenge. Trust me, some tried. He hired the best of the best. Somehow, no one was able to go further with challenging the will. It was settled in 5 months, suppose to take 3..
