USA, Canada / How to find a job in the USA [39]

Americans can't find jobs in the USA

Many of my friends and family members are teachers. The ones who are fortunate enough to still be employed, are teaching in over-crowded classrooms of over 30 students.

Fantastic photos; thanks for sharing.

No not really not Six Flags anyway. I think one just declared bankruptcy.

Six Flags Magic Mountain in California, has been suffering financially for several years.

Life / Polish dinner, if you late for one!!! [3]

As a rule, the majority of my family members usually arrive at least one hour late. If plans are to serve dinner at 6:00 p.m., better tell my family to be there at 5:00 p.m.

USA, Canada / Taste of Polonia 2009 Chicago, Illinois [33]

Not really, it was pretty cleaned up when I went there. I was expecting to see crazy scenes of the Morrison Hotel, like in the movie, "The Doors."

I wanted to steal some pepples from Jim's grave, as souvenirs. But... both my sis and the cemetery's guard wouldn't let me, lol.

Let me guess, with Morrison from the Doors?

Oh don't I wish. What a pity, I couldn't resurrect his body from his gravesite, when I visited Paris, France. It would have been nice to hear Jim play a few tunes.

They had a Pink Floyd band on Monday

That sounds like fun. We've got Lynyrd Skynyrd band performing on Sunday, in L.A.
I can't wait!

Food / What Polish food or drink do you not like and why? [37]

I love kapusta. I just hate the way it stinks up the kitchen while it's cooking.

I recall my dad drinking glasses of the juice from the kapusta, while my mom had the pot simmering on the stove. I find the juice too sour to drink. Also watching my dad drink out of the glass, with little bits of the cabbage on the surface, made me feel like gagging.

Love / Polish Male Reputations.... [29]

Polish Male Reputations....

Most of the males in my family are very educated, goal setting achievers, monogamous, family-oriented and a great provider for their family. However, a few of them can also be a little stubborn and moody at times.

Love / How to gain the attention of a Polish man? [71]

but just you might not be his type :). Its not to offend, but just simple fact.

Your comments don't offend me. Of course there are men, who aren't interested or attracted to me. Just like I'm certainly not attracted to every guy I meet either. Everyone's personal taste and preference, is different as a rule. I'm sure that are females who wouldn't consider you their cup of tea either.

However, I usually don't have much trouble attracting someone of the opposite sex, that I may be personally interested in, or physically attracted to.

Love / Are Polish girls charity workers? [132]

Are you doing 'charity work' as Luke says....into 'mercy dates' (credit Beckski..LOL)?

Nope, can't say I have. It'd be completely pointless, to go out with a guy, merely because I feel sorry for him.

date or "help out" the losers, retarded, weak, ugly, lazy and guys of a lower status))

Sounds like what we refer to in the U.S. as a mercy date.

Love / Polish men vs German men: Who is hotter? [513]

Estrella (Patricia Gerndt)

Jill Wagner

They're both very pretty women. But... I think this thread is supposed to be about the opposite gender? Btw, got any handsome guy pics?

Genealogy / Change of name - Mary Dec [5]

Could she have been pregnant and single

That possibility is very likely. When my sis was tracing family roots, she noticed many births several years ago in Poland, were delivered by unwed moms.

Life / Why Poles don't use Facebook? [43]

facebook

Employers sometimes use facebook & myspace to find out personal info, regarding current & potential employees.

Be very careful not to provide tooo much private info!

Love / My Perfect Love Story so I thought [73]

Rarely ever hear of any successful stories of them working out in the end...

Ain't that the truth!

Surprisingly, I've heard of one success story recently. An older gentleman at work, around age 60 met his wife on a dating website. She's 61 years old. Perhaps the online dating concept is working out better for older couples?

Love / Polish young generation vs older girls [21]

You look good whatever your age is.

Thanks for the compliment.

Recently, I had seen a relative named Eva. I hadn't seen her in a few years. I told her she must have found the fountain of youth. She's in her late fifties, but looks like she's only in her mid thirties. She swears she hasn't had any cosmetic surgery or botox. She claims her youthful appearance, is a result of a healthy lifestyle, including eating right and daily exercise.

Life / Openly gay in Poland [245]

reaction to lezbos

Lesbians are always trying to hit on me. Some of them are really gorgeous too. They don't bother me though. They just laugh when I tell them, I'm strictly dickly, lol!
