Zuma is this stupid looking frog shooting these colored balls that you have to shoot in between two other balls of the same color, then all the balls of the same color dissapear and you have another color ball shooting from the frog and you have to do it really fast because the balls keep moving and if you're not fast enough they get swallowed by the dragon.

There. Got it?
And man, is that ever a waste of time!!!!!!!!

A new word?
Hmmmm........sounds like something else.

When you travel to diff. countries, like Egypt, the people there are used to their water and food. but when tourists come, they get sick from their water. In Mexico, there are street vendors selling tacos or buritos. The locals eat it with no problem, but tourists from other countries become ill. The same when other people come to America, they eat american food and some cannot handle it because their body isn't used to that kind of food. That's why each country and race of people is different.

There are new strains of flus each year. They don't always know what kind it is and they don't know the right antibody for it. Now, don't say I said this, but I've heard, that because of the large amount of Laotian people in this area, they brought this new strain of flu with them.

I am just repeating stuff I read on the internet.
Thank you.

Travel / vacation in Krakow, where 2 go out? [12]

You can start above ground and check out Sukiennice. You can buy some nice souvenirs but watch out for the pigeons. At noon you can hear the Polish Hejnał from the tower, Kościól Mariacki. Walk around the Planty. Walk around Wisła. Check out Wawel. You can take a tour of the castle.

You can then go underground from there and see the Skarbiec.

News / Dealing with constant insults against Polish [323]

I live in an area where they put down "polacks" all the time. I tell them:
"do you know what "ski" stands for?" - "Smart, Knowledgable and Intelligent".
I tell them about Kopernicus from Torun, that if it wasn't for him, the sun would still be moving around the Earth. etc.
And I don't understand the reason why they do it, because most people in this community immigrated from Poland in the 1800's. And in other towns, where there are a lot of Scandinavian people, they say Scandinavian jokes. Or German.

But I have to admit, some are really funny.

That is a very sad story.
Lots of people get depressed without a job. Maybe they should build more McDonalds and Pizza Huts in Poland to hire more workers????
Just kidding.
But seriously, maybe someone should build a big factory to produce something to get the economy going to keep people employed?

Easier said than done.

In America my mom, sisters and I, had to change name from "ska" to "ski" because they said those are two different names. So it does sound funny in Polish, but in America nobody notices.

I knew a Polish girl Julianna. It might not be Polish though.

The Gold Rush.
In the 1800's in America, they discoverd gold in the mountains. Everybody went there. They were becoming rich! People were going crazy, they were leaving everything behind in order to have gold, more and more came. They started to fight over it, kill each other, the ones that became rich started to drink, they didn't know what to do with all that gold! The more they had, the more they wanted. All they thought about was GOLD GOLD GOLD!!!!!!!

In a way, England is this "GOLD MINE" to the Poles. They see oportunities, they leave everything behind, they want to make the best of their lives, because they are so poor.

History repeats itself.

Does that make any sense?? People leave Poland to work and other come to Poland to work.

Bolo would be happy to hear that.

I live in the mid-west in America, and Poles are Very much welcomed! They are educated, cultured, moral people who bring so much into the American culture.

When someone from Poland arrives, it makes the front page in the newspapers, everybody wants to meet them, they are babied, they show them around town, take them out to eat, take them shopping, etc. University Professors come from Poland and speak about economic problems or other issues in Poland. And a lot of people come to these lectures.

We even have a sister-city in Poland. Gulcz.
Yes, Poles are very welcome here.

I like Indian dishes. Where I live they organize Indian-days once a year to collect money and send to India. They have Indian music, dances, art and of course - FOOD!!!!

I love the curry they use. Once I had curry fish over rice. Boy was that ever good!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of people from around here have roots in Poland, and for them to travel there is the Biggest Thing in the world! It means a lot to them to see where their grandparents lived and they do genealogy research.

But they don't stay there. They just visit and boost the Polish economy.

I heard that saying too. America has changed, you have to use PC everywhere.
There aren't any blacks anymore, only Afro-Americans. New groups are forming, new rules, regulations, whatever you can think of, it's there.
Too much freedom. People want more! more! more! Never satisfied with what they've got.

During the civil war, America was devided into the South and the North. You still meet people who don't like the Northerners coming to Florida. And that was almost 200 years ago!!!Some people will always hate others for something.

Nice to hear what truebrit is saying. We need more understanding people like that on Earth.

Go to poland. It's a beautiful country. You won't regret it.
But...smile at the people there when they look at you. Some have never seen a black person, only on TV and they might feel scared. Once they see you are not that bad, they will accept you more.

Why are you so angry, freddy? They have families to feed like you do. They sacrificed being away from them to earn a living. How can that make them lazy? It takes a lot of guts to leave your country, not knowing the language, being put in a hostile environment.

Have you ever tried that, freddy?

Love / Polish Women to be nice respectful [59]

That is nice to hear. I wish you the best of everything.
My brother married an American woman, and she didn't know how to cook. She would open up a can of beans and there was your supper. Put a frozen TV dinner in the microwave, and there's your lunch.

All my Polish friends know how to cook from very early in life. They observed their mothers cook and learned how to do it. They can make the most delicious meals out of nothing.

I grew up in Poland most of my life, and we didn't sit and watch TV like in America. We were always busy doing something.

How can Polish people be labeled as lazy?

Love / Polish Women to be nice respectful [59]

I like to make my own money too.
Some American women I know, want to find a guy who's rich, so they don't have to work. They'll go out with him, use his money and once he's broke, they'll drop him like a hot potato. Not all American women are like that. But I'm just saying generally, from what I've seen. Sometimes it's hard to find your True Love if you're blinded by money and fame. Some people just have to get back down to Earth.
