People in Poland eat too much fattening food such as szmalec, fat kiełbasa and many have liver problems because of too much cholesterol. I have seen a few guys out jogging in Poland but never a woman.

There are different ways of making the placek, here is another one translated from Polish and if you add 0.1 oz more of something I don't think anyone will notice...
Ingredients:
2.2 lbs flour
0.14 oz yeast
1 cup milk
.35 oz butter
.5 oz cukru
4 egg yolks
salt
1 tspoon vanilla
Mix yeast with sugar and warm milk, add 1/3 flour, mix, set aside to rise. Mix egg yolks with sugar. When dough doubles add the yolks, salt, vanilla and mix, add melted butter and set aside to rise. Put in a baking dish, you can put plums, cherries or other fruit on top. Bake 390 for 55 min

Life / Swine flu vaccinations taking place in Poland? [52]
People are getting swine flu everywhere around here. It's not that bad as they say it is but people are panicking because they're dumb. The regular flu is much worse, last longer, stomach aches and you throw up. The pig flu you just get a temp, sick for a few days and not so hard on you as the reg. flu. The shots won't prevent u from getting it either, it just injects foreign bodies into you and many more people get sick from the flu shot than the flu itself, but it's not publicized.

Flu shots - YES or NO will always be debatable.
I don't take them, neither do my friends and family and we never get the flu.
Canadian front page news on flu vaccinations has transfixed Canada health authorities, prompting official suspension of regular flu vaccination programs until further notice. This comes from a study of Canada by research Doctors Danuta Skowronski of the British Columbia Centre of Disease Control and Gaston De Serres of Laval University in Quebec concluding Canadians receiving flu vaccinations have twice the risk of coming down with the flu, compared to those who do not take the shot.

And that's what I was saying. Several people I know came down with this virus and they are laughing at it!! They can get over the counter medications for it, if needed. I'm waiting for it to get me, but so far I have been unsuccessful for any kind of flu. Which sucks, because then I can sit home and watch TV all day.

There are infected people already, but the swine flu has less complications than the common flu. And why inject junk into your body to fight off something you might never end up getting? then all those chemicals and foreign antibodies live in you. Your body then relies on this "foreign body" and in the meantime becomes weaker because of it and you become more suspectible for other diseases.
you'll see infected people everywhere around you - believe me.

Nothing strange about that. I was going out with my boyfriend for 7 years and never had sex, until I married. Every person is different and a marriage shouldn't be based on a used rag, but something new and wonderful.

Yes, but if you don't introduce children to another language before the age of 8, they will speak with an accent and won't be able to pronounce the words properly. The sooner the better. Childrens' minds are liks sponges, as they get older it is more difficult to properly learn a foreign language.

Food / Horsemeat, anyone? [62]
Yes and No.
yes, some horses are sold at auctions in the US, they are usually located behind the barns in a kill pen. However, it is now illegal to slaughter horses in the US. They are being shipped live into Canada, where the French Canadians slaughter and eat them.
I have saved several of these "kill" horses. It's sad because one of those horses I rescued was a 16 years thoroughbred race horse. She was very skinny, only 16 but useless to the breeder. I had her for 4 month untill she suffered a cardiac arrest.
The American public refused to buy dog food containing horse meat and won the battle, so it not served to dogs either.
It's legal here in the US and horses get sold at auctions to slaughterhouses. They ship the meat overseas because Americans don't eat horse.
