Travel / Going to Poland and looking for some antiques [24]

Wish I could have come across some great antiques in Warsaw. Only antiques I saw were watches in over-priced shop in Old Town. Saw an antique shop in Lublin. It was closed for a holiday. Kept hoping they'd open!

USA, Canada / Homeless Poles in NYC [25]

They could thumb it to Cali & squat somewhere, like Slab City. They'd need to be able to communicate in English well enough to do so. Gets hot as hell there in the summer too.

In time they'd need some source of valid income. Charity only goes so far...

Love / Polish couples living out of wedlock? [108]

Out of wedlock?

As long as they're good parents, it really shouldn't matter to others.

My sis showed me some old Polish census records. Many babies were born to single mothers. The concept of unmarried couples having babies isn't something new.

USA, Canada / Homeless Poles in NYC [25]

Very sad indeed. Noticed they were of various ages. Hats off to the lady who distributed clothing & shoes, in order to help them.

USA, Canada / Polish American truck drivers [5]

We do have a PF member with the username Polish Trucker. He makes posts occasionally (usually about seeking Polish women.) Maybe he'll contribute some useful information, regarding Polish-Americans in the trucking industry.

Genealogy / Merwa and Paluch - Looking for relatives [3]

You need to be more specific, with any information you may already have, concerning your relatives.

Which war you are referring to? Where were your relatives last seen? How old would they be now?

Food / Where to buy corned beef in Warsaw? [21]

corned beef that comes in the same kind of tin that spam comes in

I'm wondering if the the corned beef hash type is available, mixed with potato bits. Kind of on the salty side though.

Law / Open a little cafe in krakow ! Any tips [14]

but isn't cup cake it will be cheesecake

Providing a variety of goodies may be better, instead of offering only one type of food item for customers.

USA, Canada / Polonia who needs help with Polish Documentary [27]

Such an interesting film clip. It's hard for me to grasp the idea, of Polish people residing in Cuba permanently. Must have been an enormous culture shock for the 100 Polish residents.

Life / Polish clothing - Polish folk costumes [28]

Great Polish costumes. Some of the little girls look like me, when I was little. My mom tried to encourage me to participate in Polish folk dancing, when I was a kid. Now I wish I would have listened to mama:(

Life / ATTENTION DRIVERS POLAND INTRODUCES NEW ROAD SIGNS! [15]

Yes they are jokes.Some people are altering road signs and authorities call it vandalism but I think some of these altered signs are funny

Pretty funny stuff. In Los Angeles, someone posted Garfield cartoon character stickers, on the Garfield Ave street signs.

Love / Best way to find a Polish husband...ideas? [120]

What do you mean by that? I've met some German-Americans, and they can be quite the cold fish

I find that there may be characteristic differences, between Polish-American and Polish men. Some positive, some negative differences in culture, values, etc.

Love / Best way to find a Polish husband...ideas? [120]

Honestly I think a good Polish-American would be right up my ally.

Depending on the individual, a Polish gentleman from the "Fatherland" may be up your alley too.

Guys in med school are BUSY, it's 8 AM to 12 AM 10 months out of the year.

I've been witness to that scenario. After a doctor's business is established, he eventually becomes married to his job.

Life / Is it McPoland? [63]

Does McDonald's in Poland currently list the caloric content of their food products? I can't recall if they were doing so, when I visited McDonald's in Warsaw 2 years ago.

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Yes!!!!! Instead of China, the production line is located in Poland! Since 1948! :):):):)

The doll quality looks very cheaply made. I'm a doll collector. I probably wouldn't purchase one of these dolls.

Besides, they would prevent a lot of arguments on the forums, wouldn't they?

Lol, I don't predict that will happen in our lifetime!
