Ha, we are on the same page here as I am waiting for spring when I anticipate foreclosures will be in abundance.
I'm telling you dolno, America is in pis poor shape right now despite what the inflated stock market is saying.
Paid for property will be worth a whole lot more then a handful of worthless stock certificates or a bank savings account loaded with depreciating cash.

Your son would have had to have some insider trading with Trump.
Kodak was at $2.20 a share on 27/7/20 and went up to $33.20 a share in two days.
Blame it on a Trump windfall.

Quite soon, Tesla's could reap an extraordinary cash infusion, perhaps as much as $40 billion.
Where are the competitors ?

Real Estate / False advertising? Poland rental property advice. [34]

So after receiving more pictures and a video

For some reason or other you can bet that the OP is unable to post these pictures and the video sent to him/her.
By the slimmest chance (and slim just left town) that he/she can, it would certainly be interesting to see pictures and a video upon arriving at said property to compare them.

Do I have any takers ?

your first comment made you sound like an idiot

Who is the idiot here ?
Sounds like you are more upset with yourself for being out smarted by not asking for references.

Such things happen everywhere in the world, so stop being a twat and jog on.

Take your own advice and make the best of it while enjoying your chocolate tea.

And don't forget my commission this time Buddy ! lol

Study / Various education and school issues in Poland. Opinions, stories, controversies. [1006]

Infected children have at least as much of the coronavirus in their noses and throats as infected adults, according to research.
Children younger than age 5 may host up to 100 times as much of the virus in the upper respiratory tract as adults.
Proving yet again......."kids are contagious."

I could resume teaching right away.

Surely you teachers will be demanding hazardous pay that will double your regular wages.

Life / How are electric cars doing in Poland? [413]

Same size battery pack as compared to a regular car tank full of petrol delivers much less energy.

A Tesla will out accelerate most cars on the road today.

Electric cars are like solar panels: the technology is not quite there yet

I would have to disagree with you.

I sent a P.M. to Joker last month and told him that his gold investment was looking good.
Since then gold has gone up 10% and is at an all time high.
Gold has been going straight up and that isn't good.
It baffles me because the stock market is still strong and no hyper inflation yet.
Normally it either signals concerns about high inflation (because of all the money being printed) or major political or social uncertainty.
We may be seeing a second US civil war soon.
Get your guns ready.

Classifieds / Looking for a good Masseur, preferably for a home visit [7]

Make an ice pack

You can buy those "IcyHot" medicated patches too.
They relieve pain up to 8 hours.
I personally like the "Biofreeze" gel that you have someone rub on your sore back.
That is almost instant relief for me.

Such work positively affects back muscles. Mine are like of iron.

What do you contribute your iron jaw muscle to ?

History / "Poland Syndrome" should be renamed [45]

the name Poland to a deformity would only make the ill-informed assume it is genetic to those of Polish heritage

Exactly and that was my point.
The Polish have some of the strongest genetics in the world.

ordinary ground water isn`t spring water,

I beg to differ.
Technically speaking, well water and spring water comes from the same place.

Is your well water spring water? Of course not, it is just ground water.

In fact it is spring water pawian. Where I live there are many artesian wells that bubble out of the sandy ground.
I have a real nice one on my property that I had to tap into for the water in my house which flows non stop 24/7/365 with ice cold pure water tested with no interference in it.

100% pure and extremely cold and it is free.

History / "Poland Syndrome" should be renamed [45]

Did you know they sell ordinary ground water ????

What do you want them to sell, rainwater ?
Did you know that it is against the law to sell any States natural resource yet the State sell Nestlé a license to steal millions upon millions of gallons of water to sell at a hefty profit.

We can`t remain silent about such scam!

You bet it is a scam as the local people's water wells get sucked dry.
Where does the licensing money go ?
Now if you take my thread off - topic again I will kick you in the nuts.

History / "Poland Syndrome" should be renamed [45]

Those two products are from Poland while Polish Syndrome has no connection what so ever with Poland.
Or were just trying to be comedic again ?

History / "Poland Syndrome" should be renamed [45]

Since the Poland Syndrome has nothing to do with Poland it should be re named.
It was named after the British surgeon Sir Alfred Poland because he had the first known case of the syndrome.
To link such a thing to the country of Poland is just not right.
Your thoughts on something so degrading to Poland.

Life / Cannabis / Weed in Poland... How much does marijuana cost per gram and how easy is to get it? [355]

JR ....cannabis has been freely available in the Netherlands for a lot longer than six years.....I can assure you.

I don't argue that fact Roz, I simply stated that:

the only country in europe that it is legal

when I was suggesting Poland.
It IS NOT legal in the Netherlands......it is merely tolerated.
Spain it is illegal to sell marijuana.
Portugal it was never completely legalized
Czech it is not legal.
Poland could be the first country to make it TOTALLY legal and not like your list of "Legalish" country's.
And yes I do agree that Poland won't legalize it any time soon.
Am I o.k. now ?

Polonia / India - review this country (as a Pole) [21]

What comes around goes around and America is not far behind Britain.
I could see India being a world power in the near future just because they are such hard workers.
The huge amount of poverty is the only thing slowing India's progress.
I just saw that they had a huge flood and there are a lot of people suffering from it by being homeless.
Not only Poland but any country would excel to have a good relationship with India.

Polonia / India - review this country (as a Pole) [21]

But you mean American Indians, not the one from Asian India.

Was that a trick question ?
No, I don't mean that at all but since you think you know what I mean I will let you tell the story for me.

The floor is yours !

Polonia / India - review this country (as a Pole) [21]

i mean like do they discriminate people on basis of skin color

One of the India members here married a Polish lady.
He is one of the crème de la crème members here and would be the expert to ask.
He is well liked by most everyone here.
His name is Cargo Pants.
