Food / How is vodka consumed in Poland in bars and restaurants [21]

best drink for me is 100 ml of vodka +200 ml sprite

Vodka & Sprite sound like an interesting combination.
How about changing the recipe around a little: 200 ml of vodka + 100 ml Sprite??? WOW!

Genealogy / Looking For Polish girl Ivana (Yvonna?) living in Amsterdam...Please. [8]

she doesn't really look "Polish

I didn't know we Polish women were supposed to have a certain look about us. I've seen some of my ancestor's photos. Many were beautiful women with dark hair and dark eyes. However, they certainly didn't look Italian.

Food / Polish romantic dinner (suggestions)? [30]

No matter what you make your wife for dinner, try spicing up the meal with something chocolate for desert. It's a wonderful aphrodisiac!

but sadly chihuahuas are from Mexico....:(

I know they're from Mexico. Lately they've also become a very popular dog to own. They are now very much of a part of American culture.

Love / Are men more unhappy about being single than women [47]

[quote=Amathyst] Are men more unhappy about being single than women
Amathyst

I'm not quite sure whether either gender is more unhappy about being single.
Recently I had been casually dating a very nice Polish guy. The only problem is he was getting very serious, much too quickly.

After just a few dates he had already told me the L word. In a sense I was flattered. At the same time it made me run in the opposite direction. I like taking my time when entering a new relationship.

He's always had long-term relationships. Perhaps he doesn't like to be alone. I suppose he feels he must be in a serious relationship at all times.

I hope he NEVER discovers this forum, or I'm dead meat!

Love / Which is better? Being single or being in a relationship? [92]

I do enjoy the freedom of being single and independent.

At times I feel it would be nice to have someone to come home to. Someone to comfort me, after I've had a bad day, instead of just my Chihuahua being there for me.

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

How hot was it?

I believe today it hit the 100 degree mark. Yesterday some parts of the Inland Empire hit over 108 degrees.

My dog is sitting on my lap petrified, from the loud noise of the city's fireworks show. It
finally finished a few minutes ago.

How much has the lineup changed?

The group still looks and sounds fantastic. Philip Bailey does have a magical voice.
I just wish Maurice White was still performing. He was absent due to his struggle with Parkinson's disease.

Have fun ... should be a blast!

Thanks GrandeSande,

You're right; the concert was a blast. The only problem is it was outdoors. I nearly baked to death!

"but Cooties?

Hi Clunkshift,

Cooties are similar to germs; it's a joke of course! Little kids sometimes say that the opposite sex has cooties.

USA, Canada / The things Polish people do in the US [46]

Even at Walmart?

If I could I would! I think next time, I'll try telling them one of their products has a flaw. That tactic may enable me to purchase the item at an even cheaper price!

They like to barter anything they buy

That's an idea I'm very familiar with. I like to bargain shop whenever I can. I even purchased my home in an auction!
