lol. You are all protected now. No accidents for you man!

Havok, all great ideas but nothing beats Jesus and Radio Maryja. Got it? :)

Gotta keep people in check on their knees and praying or also...no heaven for you..too bad.
Burn baby burn.

News / Smoking ban in Polish bars and restaurants (AT LAST!) [400]

smokers pay a lot of taxes so let them smoke. We need income anyway we can get it. It is a choice.

Genealogy / Nowa Huta birth records around 1920 [3]


If you mean Nowa Huta town next to Krakow, it did not exist in 1920. The town started to be built in 1949. I'd say you may start from contacting the city records in Kraków.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]


oh, no not that! poor p***y cat...
I don't think he is gay, he is just to short to find a woman dwarf and too weird. LK's wife was a few years older and well..not too attractive, but i understand she was a wonderful woman.

Anyway, we should not judge people by their looks alone but whatever comes out of their mouth and JK's mouth sucks.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]


Yeah, I hear of him as the new Hitler? Is that what you mean? Being conservative is fine, it is about preserving the past values, the legacy of your parents and maybe even grandparents.

I don't think JK goes that far but I'm no expert after watching BBC news or polish 'wiadomosci' over the Internet couple of times a month. However, after hearing and reading and what I know - he's gotta go. There is a limit.


well, that notion gotta go too. Enough time had passed.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]

..so it happened before, in Austria, hmmm. I don't know about it. I guess there is more than political agenda and marital status connection. Sometimes it does not matter even in a conservative environment. Good.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]

So, are we are still in a world that a single man or a woman can not succeed because they do not have a significant other? I don't think you really meant that. If it was so, all 'mohair berets' would not support PiS and JK - but they do! What gives then? They seem to forgive JK for not having a wife and kids and living with a cat instead... They still follow him! What is the 'magic' of JK?

News / The legalization of Ukrainian immigrants in Poland [14]


Then we would need to give back our western Poland to Germans..right? The borders got shifted by the big three honchos after the second world war and that's a given.


Yeah, that's how America feels about Mexicans.


Let them clean the toilets! :)


lol. So what are the polish gang values? Do tell. Please.

News / Do Poles take Kaczynski seriously!? [199]


I feel bad for him that he lost his brother, he manipulated the polish government and governed Poland in the background through Lech - a wishy-washy man. A huge blow to his ego now because nobody cares about him. He, himself and PiS are to weak to govern again. A total loss of power. It's gotta drive him coo coo as he appears to be.

Apropos, dropping all the guys in fancy ivory "dresses" and pink berets behind him when he speaks maybe would help.

Food / Any królik (rabbit) fanciers on PF? [76]

I had a rabbit dinner before and I liked it. It was some kind of stew with heavy cream gravy over mashed potatoes. German restaurants have it on the menu often but not so much in polish restaurants. You can buy it at some delis during the holidays.


Welcome to Alabama!


Yes, very pretty red ones, unlike the mostly grey "tree rats" we have here :)

The idea of the huge statue is embarrassing. Why is my old country going so backward? When will the people see the light that the church want to put them back in the middle ages? You know..serfs to the church... Please wake up! You did not get yourself free form communism only to get entangled in the rosary chains. Down with TRWAM.

Food / Cornish game hens in Poland? [13]

Maybe they are called different in Ireland. Look for really tiny small chickens in the market.


No need to be snippy. The birds are really small and bony. It's about the taste. You can't get really stuffed with one. A 'fat' American would need at least five of them to be satisfied.

USA, Canada / Do Polish guys like American girls? [103]

Did you mean NOT shallow and spoiled? ...what is the popular belief?

USA, Canada / Do Polish guys like American girls? [103]


Oh, puhleeze... Don't rely on stereotypical generalities. In the contrary, many Americans are just the opposite, neither spoiled or shallow. The men who look outside are just pussies looking for meek women they can dominate. At the end, they are taken and let loose with only their socks on.

Food / Cornish game hens in Poland? [13]

The meat is very tasty, much better than a chicken. You can roast them with stuffing too.There is a lot of bone picking involved and your fingers are the best utensils but it is well worthed and finger licking good!

Life / Stereotypes: Do Poles believe in fate? [18]

My sister told me to make sure that I take a good look at the Jupiter (I'm sure you guys noticed it in the skies during the last few weeks) and light a candle for a good luck...I did it, (what's the harm?), but I refuse to kill a black rooster at midnight and spit three time over my left shoulder... :)

Life / Can you buy de-icer in Poland? [11]


lol. You would not know anything about it in Texas girl, but it is a reality in Chicago. A couple of sprays on the frosty windows and off you go..no scraping. I love it.

News / Human Trafficking in and from Poland [80]


Hmm...why..Thank you.. but I was 18 once too. Poland is not exactly a 3rd world country where people live or lived in such poverty. There should not be any Polki so gullible.

News / Human Trafficking in and from Poland [80]

I thought it was about human trafficking not about student loans...lol.

I don't feel sorry for the women 'falling' for all the promises and the big money abroad in some exotic country. Really, they know what's ahead of them. I read/heard plenty of stories decades ago! Don't they hear/read about this stuff now!? So, it makes me think... they know what they are getting into.

Nobody deserves to have their passports taken away and forced to do what they don't want to do. The Johns should be punished for that, but the ones who want to satisfy the demand for services?...let them. Don't kid yourself, prostitution will never go away.

Travel / Visa to Poland (stay more than 90 days in Poland) [45]


It sounds like she walked off a bus or a boat while on a trip to the west and asked for asylum. In this case she has to deal with the consulate. She should still have a her old, expired passport, right? It's hard to give advice without details.

USA, Canada / Moved back from Canada to Poland:). Here are the reasons why. [868]

What the heck Aphrodisiac? Did you move back for good? Are sure you will not come back?Very, very interesting. I really like the posts about your first impressions! Keep it up.

All my best to you and may all the plans you've made realize in Poland.

Life / Bugs in Polish houses and apartments [78]


I don't see them too often, but I'll experiment next time I see one. Hmmm, I thought they can come in through the pipes too, especially in the bathroom.

USA, Canada / Do any other Polish Americans feel that our culture needs to be more well preserved? [38]



lol. You are so nice to Allison pgtx...

Life / Bugs in Polish houses and apartments [78]



Thank you good people. I had the long legged one marching on my bathroom wall this morning but before I could get a glass to catch him and throw him outside - he hid behind the cabinet...

Love / Are Polish and Slavic men perhaps a little bit insecure sometimes? [113]


Thank You Zimmy! And a bottle of wine with it sounds good. :)

Love / Are Polish and Slavic men perhaps a little bit insecure sometimes? [113]

Agree. She doesn't seem to have a clue how easy it is to notice the style. Some "doubles" at least make the effort to sound different at first.

Life / Bugs in Polish houses and apartments [78]


I agree. Before I spray the corner the dweller is put in a jar (if I can catch him) and shaken outside. The spray is burning their feet, so the next one who wants to settle there just says 'aw,aw, aw' and moves away somewhere also.

It didn't happen this year yet, but last fall I had the biggest and most beautiful spider net built overnight between two hanging plants on the balcony. Gotta admire the nature at work.The huge spider sat in the middle of it. I did not have the heart to get the broom and destroy it so I left it and went to work. When I came back the spider was not there and the web was half destroyed with some insect caught in it. I regret not taking a picture.
