Life / The climate for gardening in Poland [340]

Sorry YES professor. Google "Scrogging"

:):):) Relax. I am not belittling you now. Quite the contrary - I am belittling myself. My NO wasn`t for your scrogging which does exist. It was for your smart farmer aka me. :):):)

Keep the door closed in the room that you have your plants in to keep your cats out. SIMPLE !

Yes, simple but impossible because I keep seedling boxes in several places in the house. Some of these places don`t have any doors as they are open plan. :):):)

Cats hate the smell and taste of it and it is harmless.

yes, but my wife and some kids would probably hate the smell, too.

In your picture #2 your plants are stretching

Wow! A very good observation! So you do know sth about gardening after all! hahahaha
Don`t worry. I have been gradually doing the replanting since Easter time.

I don`t need to prove Goddess coz I clearly wrote: OR ! Ha!!! When we use OR, it means a dose of doubt! Ha!!

While your controversial opinion on Jesus sounded very dogmatic so you need to prove it. Ha!!!

I am truly astounded you don`t comperehend such basic issues. What is your education?????????

News / Local elections - anyone care to comment? [75]

Young people prefer to ignore local elections as voters coz they have no idea who to vote for.

However, some youngsters treat local elections as a career development. They run for positions of rural mayors or local council members. Even as young as 18. Amasing!

Very smart farmer.
It is called "Scrogging".

Sorry, no. :):): You overestimate me now. No, the net has a more practical purpose - it protects seedlings from the damaging activity of our cats who might feel like nibbling at leaves or even lying down on and digging in the pots.

This method is very popular

I will try it out when weed becomes legal in Poland. hahahaha

At least they're not pro-russian like konfederacja....

Yes, it is an astounding paradox. Far right Konfederacja is pro Russian. While standard left who stemmed from communist apparatchiks is patriotic - it was them who staunchly advocated Polish membership in NATO and EU 30 years ago. Amasing!!!

political idiot

Calling names won`t help you sweep the truth about pro Russian far right Konfederacja under the carpet.

Life / Jewish culture in today`s Poland [158]

DOESN'T EXIST in English!

How can it not exist in English if we are using it so extensively while writing in English??? If we do, it means it does exist.

And even if it doesn`t exist yet, it will coz we are shaping the language like all people who have been doing it for millenia before us. Somebody invents a new word and it gradually becomes popular. Isn`t it simple??? :):):)

That is why my fave word Polesses will stay here and anybody who objects to it is you mean what I know! hahahaha

Today. But it has historical background. That`s how Poles and Polesses addressed Jews when they constituted a large minority in Poland.

Life / Polish songs with religious motifs [23]

Funny but its arrangement and choir remind me of Jewish songs that I heard in New York.

After all, Jesus was a Jew.

Another nice song I heard today:

The Merciful - be blessed. With subtitles.

No! I am staying in Poland to cultivate the memory of Polish Jews and their culture! HA!

I am lazy for many things, not only for cleaning Jewish graves. In our circles, it is called aging. :):):)

Yes, very noble. I did my Christian and Polish duty and felt just great. :):):)

News / Local elections - anyone care to comment? [75]

Various funny incidents have taken place at the local elections today
E.g,

A man was offering voters money for voting for the candidate he indicated. He offered 4 beer cans and a bar of chocolate to encourage people to vote for his female partner.

An unusual situation occurred at the polling station in Słubice. One of the commission members saw a voter who placed a gun on the ballot card. Although the weapon turned out to be a fake, officers had to arrive at the scene.

A bizarre situation occurred during Sunday's local government elections in the Wieruszów commune - the name of one of the candidates was not on the ballot papers. The error was noticed and corrected within half an hour of the start of voting in the local elections, and the ballots with the mistake were immediately withdrawn and replaced with the correct ones. Despite quick intervention, three voters managed to cast their votes using defective ballots.

During Sunday's local government elections, at one of the district electoral commission's premises in the Załuski commune in Płońsk county, a woman tore the collected voting card and then left. The chairwoman of the commission reported the incident to the police. The circumstances of the incident are being investigated.

Possible electoral crime in the Płaska commune (Podlaskie Voivodeship). The police are checking whether a woman running for a seat on the commune council transported voters to the voting site and paid them for voting for her. On Sunday, the police received a report about a candidate for the commune council in Płaska, who was supposed to transport people to vote, the police said. The candidate was also supposed to provide a financial benefit to one person to persuade him to vote in a specific way.

The second report concerned the destruction of an election banner in Białystok. - The police are conducting legal proceedings in connection with the reports, Krupa said.

Among the incidents of breaking the election silence on Sunday, Krupa mentioned, among others: "setting up an advertising device" to conduct an election campaign in Sejny, in Hajnówka placing leaflets of various candidates near the polling station, and in Białystok destroying and hanging posters and agitating by sending text messages.

For whom?

For the decency of the nation. Simple.

Grab a bucket and brush and start scrubbing their headstones for the rest of your life!

I did when younger. Now I am busy somewhere else. But other decent and younger people do it.

They don't want to spend their time turning

Why are you speaking for Poles and Polesses?????? You are a complete foreigner in Poland - you can`t even speak Polish. :):):)

Decent Poles and Polesses still value Jewish culture in Poland. Grafitti I miss you, Jew in dozens of places all over country.

Life / Polish film and serial riddles [137]

The movie in question is really fun in a weird way.

Yes, crazy times produced crazy films.

Two Brigades from 1950:

People's Poland in the late 1940s. Actors from a certain theater are preparing to stage a socialist realist Czechoslovak play entitled Karhan's Grinder Brigade . For most of the old generation actors, this repertoire is foreign and incomprehensible, for most of the young ones, on the contrary - they are full of enthusiasm. However, these two extreme attitudes cause conflicts in the team. The director decides to visit a nearby factory with his team to observe the realities of art. It turns out that the problems contained in the play and occurring in the acting group are identical to those in the factory. This is a general generational conflict between old workers and young rationalizers. However, because both old and young actors, despite their differences, are faithful to the idea of ​​art and want to put on a good performance despite everything, the premiere brings great success. In turn, old and young factory workers invited to rehearsals and the premiere can easily find characters from their factory in the roles played by the actors. The show makes them think, they begin to understand that the idea of ​​efficient work based on competition should stand above divisions.

. but worth watching nonetheless.

deliberately omitted:

Yes, you are deliberately omitting to show us a vandalised Polish grave in Israel despite my constant requests. Your failure to do so means you are lying, twisting and evading all the time. :):):)

While I can show multiple cases of vandalised or destroyed Jewish graves in Poland.

Poles and Polesses should invest more time, energy and money in the restoration of Jewish cemeteries.

Polish graves are well maintained in Israel

Yes, they are coz you can`t show us a Polish grave in bad condition located in Israel. Ha!

Who owns them?

Most are owned by local Polish authorities or their owner is unknown. 25% are owned by Jewish organisations. It is natural you will agree that it is Polish duty to maintain Jewish cemeteries. Ha!
