Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [333]

No, its called acceptance, but not necessarily "sexy" don't exaggerate with this optimistic viewpoint.

I don't exaggerate - that's the real life experience of many wives lol :))

The reality is that attractive people or someone you're attracted to will be attractive to you usually no matter what they wear. Attractive people could wear potato sacks and they would still be attractive people lol Of course, they would look better or even more sexy in the right clothes, but that's all. It's the less attractive people that usually need "help" by the means of clothes, etc.

For me the attractive shoewear on a woman is a home slipper, leather proper home slipper

Well, that's rather surprising for me... I wouldn't consider home slippers as "attractive shoewear" lol

So whats your type of sexy shoe on a woman?

Definitely not loafers or birkenstocks, which you apparently consider "feminine" :)

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [333]

Yes, it did cross my mind indeed

That's good - so maybe you're not a total moron after all lol

You contradicted yourself, women like to look good all the time when in public or when someone else they want to impress is around , thats what I also wrote.

No, I didn't contradict myself at all. You wrote "sexy". "Looking good" isn't the same as "looking sexy".

Also, "sexy" is subjective. It may mean different things to different people. For some men a woman looks sexy only if she wears tight dresses, mini skirts, shows cleavage, wears high heels and heavy make up. For some others a woman in a long, summer, flowy dress wearing sandals looks feminine and that's enough to consider her "sexy" for them. For some others a woman wearing jeans and T-shirt may look sexy if she's physically attractive. For a husband who wants his wife she's "sexy" even if she's tired, sweaty, wearing sweat pants, a T-shirt with a stain from baby food and messy hair lol (that's at home, of course, not in public)

No, that's your problem too if you want to attract men.

Did it cross your mind that there are times when women DON'T WANT TO ATTRACT MEN? o_O Like, for example, in the freaking church, at work, kid's playground or if they have a husband or a boyfriend. Are you a moron? 馃う

At least I look good and you could try it as well sometimes

How do you know I don't? Most women try to look good.

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [333]

But it is not just about you women, men want to look at a woman

o_O

That's not women's problem what men want to look at lol 馃う

a woman who looks after herself and if she wants to be treated better then she better put some effort into her looks

"Looking after yourself" and "putting some effort into one's looks" doesn't equal "sexy".

Well, first of all they "should", and they may if they wish. Women's sole purpose on this Earth is to look sexy.

No, they shouldn't and it isn't, you f*cked up weirdo.

And we always want to look "sexy".

I somehow don't see that when I look at many men lol Maybe it's the men who should look after themselves more if they want to be "treated better" and put some effort into their looks? Women are already putting a lot of effort and money into their looks, maybe even too much. And we would like to look at nicely dressed men too (it doesn't even have to be sexy - just nice). 馃檮

You're seriously sick in the head.

Off-Topic / Let's talk about shoes [333]

they should wear feminine shoes that make them look sexy

Well, first of all they "shouldn't", they may if they wish. Women's sole purpose on this Earth isn't to look "sexy". And we don't always want to look "sexy". A woman doesn't need to look "sexy" when she's at work, when she goes to church, to play with kids on the playground, when going jogging, shopping, etc.

But these are usually high-heeled shoes with a narrow front, which after years of wearing cause the development of hallux valgus

They also cause back problems, legs' pain and swelling of feet (due to bad blood circulation) - if worn often. Humans simply weren't made to walk this way.

Where are women on this faking forum? They should be commenting

I don't understand what's your problem exactly. I don't know any woman who would wear men's shoes lol

gay commentry by Alien about visibility of feminine shoes in women with thick calves

What's "gay" about that comment?

USA, Canada / Why Americans don't allow men to be in briefs at the beach/swiming pools? [90]

Surf wear is what most Americans purchase..

You mean this?: o_O

what

but there are heterosexual women still around and out of those many do obsess with man's knickers

I don't recall ever paying much attention to what men wear on the beach... Admittedly, I don't obsess in general over what people wear in public.

they do want to see them worn by men at the beach.

Only by men who are fit :P Old men with big bellies in speedos isn't something that many people would like to particularly witness, I think ;) I guess you could say that speedos are the equivalent of women's sexy bikini. 馃

@Feniks, no, those birch crosses are characteristic for a certain group among Polish war heroes though...

As for the fabrics - look at their shape and that hat at the top of the cross.

Hi Jillian,

I'm not sure what kind of help are you looking for exactly?

My mother Anna gave birth to THREE children.

So did she get married? What is her surname now?

my other Anna

Do you mean your "mother Anna"?

History / Identify the artists for these paintings? Appears to be 19th or 20th century painting [14]

@LPelo, thanks for the photos!

Could you take a close up photo of that "sticker" on the back of the painting? What does it say?

It's certainly in that style, albeit rather cruder than most of his stuff.

To be honest the quality of the photos isn't good enough to judge that...

I'm not sure if there's a Catalogue Raisonn茅

I don't know, but this painting doesn't seem to show up on Google.

the Muzeum Narodowy in Warsaw may be able to advise.

People often contact Desa Unicum (the biggest auction house in Poland) to identify and get a price evaluation of a painting:

Po polsku / Polska miedzy Niemcami i Rosja. Zalety i wady. [512]

poczytaj sobie ten artyku艂 to mo偶e ci si臋 tam co艣 rozja艣ni -

Nic mi to nie "rozja艣ni艂o", bo ja czyta艂am rzeczowe artyku艂y na temat tej afery, gdzie nie by艂o nic o "zalewie setek tysi臋cy migrant贸w z Azji i Afryki". Problem by艂 nie w liczbach tylko w tym, 偶e ta afera mia艂a w og贸le miejsce - to dosy膰 komiczne, 偶e akurat za rz膮d贸w PiS-u :)))

to narracja PO (w tym samego Tuska) si臋 ca艂kowicie rozje偶d偶a - w艂a艣nie przed chwil膮 s艂ysza艂em w telewizji jak Tusk m贸wi艂, 偶e Polska beneficjentem Paktu - to dlaczego kaza艂 swojemu ministrowi finans贸w g艂osowa膰 przeciw

Tusk powiedzia艂 tak:

tvn24.pl/polska/pakt-migracyjny-przyjety-przez-rade-unii-europejskiej-donald-tusk-komentuje-nie-przyjmiemy-zadnych-migrantow-st7915521

"- To jest moje zadanie, i ja si臋 wywi膮偶e z tego zadania. Polska b臋dzie beneficjentem paktu migracyjnego. Nie b臋dziemy za nic p艂aci膰, nie b臋dziemy musieli przyjmowa膰 偶adnych migrant贸w z innych kierunk贸w, Unia Europejska nie narzuci nam 偶adnych kwot migrant贸w. Natomiast Polska b臋dzie skutecznie egzekwowa艂a wsparcie finansowe ze strony Unii w zwi膮zku z tym, 偶e sta艂a si臋 pa艅stwem goszcz膮cym steki tysi臋cy migrant贸w g艂ownie z Ukrainy - powiedzia艂."

No zobaczymy.

albo dlaczego za czas贸w rz膮d贸w PiS do przyj臋cia paktu nie dosz艂o

Bo nadal nad nim pracowali? Z jakie艣 10 lat negocjacje w zwi膮zku z tym paktem trwa艂y.

nie b膮d藕 dziecinna

Nie jestem dziecinna - po prostu to co dla wyborc贸w PiS jest "po艣wi臋caniem polskich interes贸w" cz臋sto nie jest tak odbierane przez wyborc贸w PO i na odwr贸t.

jakie polskie interesy PiS po艣wi臋ci艂 by w艂azi膰 w dup臋 Trumpowi?

Trumpowi/Amerykanom
Zakup du偶ej ilo艣ci ameryka艅skiego sprz臋tu wojskowego (za pieni膮dze podatnik贸w), kt贸ry b臋dzie kosztowny w eksploatacji, a w wypadku wojny cz臋艣ci zamienne itd. trzeba b臋dzie sprowadza膰 zza oceanu, itd.

PiS-owsk膮 afer臋 wizow膮, kt贸ra okaza艂a si臋 wydmuszk膮, ale ty tego nie wiesz bo nie ogl膮dasz wiadomo艣ci

Nie okaza艂a si臋 偶adn膮 "wydmuszk膮" i o tej aferze to si臋 akurat naczyta艂am, wi臋c nie wciskaj mi PiS-owskieo kitu. 馃檮

bo przecie偶 kto, jak kto, ale taki autorytet jak Donald Tusk to napewno przejrza艂 jak bardzo prorosyjsk膮 parti膮 jest PiS

Daj mi spok贸j z takimi pierdo艂ami. Kiedy PiS by艂 u w艂adzy to twierdzi艂, 偶e to PO jest prorosyjskie i pokazywa艂 zdj臋cia Tuska 艣ciskaj膮cego si臋 z Putinem (niekt贸rzy na PF te偶 to robili):

My艣l臋, 偶e PiS poprawi stosunki z Rosj膮

;D ;D ;D

ale my艣l臋, 偶e maj膮 wiele wsp贸lnego z naszymi ch艂opakami.

Oj, tak, maj膮, niestety. Ale s膮 te偶 bardzo istotne sprawy, kt贸re ich dziel膮.

Tylko jako艣 ten "anyestabliszmentowy antybrukselizm" by艂/jest finansowany z rosyjskich pieni臋dzy. Zar贸wno Le Pen jak i W艂osi ju偶 sie z tego t艂umaczyli (bardziej lub mniej pokr臋tnie), a o Orbanie to ju偶 mi si臋 nawet nie chce gada膰.

Language / Terms of endearment in Polish [222]

Would it be strange to call a child (a girl, if it matters) "little fern" (papro膰) as a term of endearment?

It would be unusual, but not impossible... It could be like some inside-joke in the family, I guess, for some reason...

how would I form the diminutive?

"Paprotka" - for a girl. It actually sounds nice and cute :) Next stage of diminutive would be "Paprocia" and even further: "Paprociunia", for example.

Welcome to the club... I didn't see anything either :( I missed my probably only chance to see the aurora in my own city... 馃槶 I wish the media informed about it sooner, so I'd know beforehand and prepare or at least I'd look out of the window/go out on the balcony... 馃槥

@jon357, yes, if I understand correctly she got married in 1974 to Alan Maskell (his parents: Edward Maskell & Eleanor Greenway) and is known as Maria Maskell now (judging by what is written on that site).

You'd be surprised. Many people in Poland inherit a flat from parents or grandparents and stay there.

True.

Law / Firearms Law Poland - UK training company [4]

You need to have permanent residency in Poland in order to get a gun license that would allow you to buy guns. I am not aware of any exceptions to this rule...

Would it be easier for me to find someone or a retailer to obtain the weapons and ammunition and essentially "hire" them?

Probably, especially if you don't plan to live and train people in Poland.

Does anyone know of English speaking law firm that understands firearms laws that could help me?

I don't know if those know English, but you can contact them and find out:

The map of Poland is getting green, so people in the North of Poland may see something, it looks like there's going to be K7 aurora in 30 minutes (it's nowhere near what we had in Poland on Friday though - it was K9).

Helpful links for those who still want to try to see aurora today:

For people living in Poland - aurora forecast for Poland - you can check the present situation, what was happening earlier and what will happen in around 30 minutes - just choose the hour (for now the map is completely gray, so there's no aurora visible in Poland right now):

meteologix.com/pl/aurora

The world - if you scroll down you can choose "North America", "Europe and Asia" and "Southern hemisphere" to check what are the chances of seeing aurora at your location at the moment (right now it's 0% for both Europe and Asia):

spaceweatherlive.com/pl/aktywnosc-zorzowa/zasieg-zorzy-polarnej.html

Here you can find recent news about solar storms, play the aurora simulation for the planet for today (it doesn't show the latest 2 hours, but can give you some idea about what's going on) and if you scroll down the charts there's also Estimated Planetarny K Index (it doesn't show the latest 3 hours though):

Nothing so far here just outside Toru艅 :(

Did you get lucky in the end?

Those are photos of aurora taken by Piotr Wierzbicki yesterday evening at around 22:00 not far from Toru艅 (around 17 minutes drive from Toru艅) in Piwnice (there's a university astronomical observatory there - you can see Poland's biggest radio telescope in those photos):
