Life / Poles speaking English - examples [256]


OMG!! I am sooo glad someone necro'd this thread..that clip turned my entire bad day back to reset!
An oh my! the things he called that gator..he kiss his momma with that mouth?

In an aside; My BF speaks very good english most days (his accent does creep in heavier when he is very tired or sick. And certain words get tripped now and then.) his written is pretty high level. And his learning was informal at first..lol..gaming and the internet. It is getting more polished now that he jumped into skype with my radio station buddies and we talk daily.

Life / Good account of Poland's Andrzejki? [23]

Love / Are Polish men handsome to you? [182]

I do like looks of most the 1/2 and pure AmPoles I know
I definitely like my Wadusili's looks even if he is a tad thin (that can be corrected ..heh)

When that date site thread was up front page; I was tempted to looksee and clicked. I was looking to see how many looked like my guy... even a little bit- maybe 1 in every 40?

It was uncanny how alike all these guys in a 20 year age range looked. Specially on polish hearts? was it? Most nice looking (least those that dared pics). To me, they seemed germanic looking in the selection. Nice faces, sturdy builds, ashen blondes or that dark color blondes turn when older.

None quite my type enough to set my heart a flutter, but I don't think I would kick nary a one outta my bed for eating crackers if I were single.

So yes, I generally find men of Polish ancestry handsome. I especially like the type (whichever region) Polish guys that have that really golden color to hair and complexion.

I am most attracted to certain slav and northern Eu descent guys anyway (Polish mixes, russian, dutch, one part norwegian and a tiresome Bavarian were my guys til I got me a purebred from the Podlaskie North) I find the light eyes pale tones of Polish guys more magnetic than like my own Bohemian kin who are darker hued.. and shorter usually ( I like my fella taller than my 5'8).

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]



OMG..ROTFLMAO!! AS I catch up with the forums..THIS made my evening.

**now eyes own high dollar cream ingredients with suspicion**


**fixes** most girls prefer anything over a smelly * cheese-covered schmeckle

Though, if that is problem ..whole guy is probably someone you prefer not staining your sheets with odor. eeew. And I will apply that to feet too! Since I ..like hands feet..I like to rub, massage an play with. No cheese or crakers in bed please.

Actually I am fascinated by possibility of the guy being more sensitive. The possibility of making him say MY name. Hmmmm.Intriguing.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


*sigh* "fellow biologicals , non-humans". Yes punctuation is important and I didn't catch it..and you did. bravo. Have a trophy. Everybody gets trophies here..even losers.

But it does not change you are really trolly and your argument logic still couldn't win in a Junior High School debate.

To actually be more clear I should have put "fellow biologicals "And Non human in separate sentence. My fault for lazy grammar I suppose. But I didn't realize that I was in junior high again and would get argument and giggling from pounced on single phrase.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


<_<

derp?

I will, if required, shout in the streets my right to SLAY (not murder-Im EATING it) a fellow biological non human and EAT it! be it carrot, fish , fowl or beast.

So, are you gonna start on how Lions and other obligate carnivores should be vegan? what of the life that is in the trees that sustain us? The vegetation we eat. So next is pills of fake nutrients that we shall take until we sicken , die and go extinct ? 0 _0. I mean that is where that logic ends at ya know

Was that really the best argument that could be found?

Would I consider an egg "life"? Certainly. But I can easily announce my intent to remove life from something and give the motivation..its material is my sustanence. It is biological imperative that I process it's life to extend my own. Abortion does not fit that category in 80% ? of cases? Motivation for those is: Oops! Must kill for Convenience/quality of consumer lifestyle.

Hardly comparable I would think.
When candy coating of dehumanizing words is removed..abortion is killing a life. No matter if the decision is legalized or not.. approved of or not.

The biggest question is does the mother have the right to take this life out of the world, specially when a majority think one shouldnt remove the life of the most sick and degenrate criminal murderer and instead reap the taxes needed to sustain him. Personally I'd feel better with emptier prisons via death penalty (yes KILLING..but not an innocent new life. Or just consider it- RETROACTIVE ABORTION) and those funds going to Orphanages that actually have tools to RAISE children and FIND them foster families if not permanent love.

Murder is a very personal decision. I cannot make anyone do what I think is right. I just don't want my taxes paying for it.

Off-Topic / What's your connection with Poland? Penpals. [571]

Though I could in theory maybe have a lil Pole in me.. (since my Bohemian bloodlines Weis and Baginksi came from Prague at a point in history that my research stopped? ) My only real connection is the man that has asked for my hand to marry and the fact that current plan is to move there from the States in 5-6 years. So I have that amount of time to get .."pol-arized" ^_^ so I may feel at home quicker.

yes im bored and up too late

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [82]


In insects; I only have true allergy to small sub-hornets called yellow jackets.I can't remember the species anymore.They are small and have nests in alcoves .often in trees or house eaves. and are pretty angry


Wonder why it doesnt come with normal search? Hmmm ..but Poland was one of first nations to make wildlife preserves....even if for a kings hunting pleasure they still wished the species remaining

Genealogy / The typical Polish look, or all Eastern Europeans [656]


My Dearest is very pale & "golden" in hair and skin. So are his parents and two sisters. He says also his cousins. All blue eyeed.They are in NE Poland.

My Bohemian bloodlines are Moonflax blondes with with grey eyes until recent generations, than often darken with age sprinkled with redheads and dark walnut hair. The shade of my hair and my skin are actually more from that bloodline even though ironically it makes me look more cherokee. We age very well and very late. and are tall.

My Russian X and his family have greyish blonde hair that is lighter when young but is very silvery and dark by the time they hit 30s with high cheekbones and slanty eyes. His mother was first generation stateside..she was born in China.

My MIL was lovely. Her mum, brother in kids did NOT age well.

Love / Should I forgive my cheating Polish girlfriend? [73]


She broke trust..it taints a relationship forever. And rarely can be worked past. Plus they say once a cheater always a cheater... So was the case with my cheaters.

A little consequence fell because you indulged her for being younger than you; rather than hold her to a standard at least respective to her adulthood.

You would not be an idiot , but you would be a masochist. The whole situation says she respects you not. :(

Call it a day and look for some bandages to wrap your heart and heal. There are many lovely wonderful; girls out there than can love you for yourself , and be faithful and supportive. She might someday, but not likely do it for you.

I am so sorry for you... I have been there and it Sucked

Life / Blasphemy not OK in Poland! [54]

I must say seems a bit strict... but was it ALREADY a law?
If so; he gets what was coming to him..regardless what the law was or if he had any "respect" for it. Especially breaking a law in a public manner *shrug*

Doesn't matter to me if it is speed limit, litter, health dept (dog poo & such), hitting someone or spitting on the sidewalk. I have to adjust from state to state when there are things different. We still have states with dry counties opposed to wet and with blue laws. With exceptions..most statutes are selected in ballots as yay or nay in Propositions. So its what that locality majority more. And I certainly enjoy FL sharing many of my home of record AZ's gun carry laws.

US stilll has several states with blasphemy laws on books..some made law as late as 1977( is that? Penn? MD?). But 20th century US Supreme Court usually rules them against 1st Amendment when they are brought that high

Though one could get nailed for Anti-semitism in laws if you tear a Tanahk/Torah up in public

Language / Polish slang phrases - most popular. [606]


Taki Dzie w ___ _____? I see Szee as Dzie. If you speak it sloppy like me.

And that could be a " A day In"

but it would be colleqial and not literally "in hell" (like my Hunny telling me to be very careful saying how much I like to have ice cream if I talk about it same way in Polish as I do English. I had him so cracked up. I guess it is allergorical for...<_< >_> BJ?)

It doesnt sound much like Bohemian in that context..but I havent heard it spoken since I was little

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [82]

MMm.. "good"..that may be in the eye of beholder..... more like indulgent and accomodating , specially in small stuff

Now back to critter talk... I saw posted somewhere on here absolutely ADORABLE red squirrels. I loved my pet squirrels when I had one. Even had one in my house recent for nearly amonth before I could catch him and throw hin out...a baby one. I as sooo tempted but my son is a bit rough for wee pets.

And wood buffalo? Native?

Wasn't Poland the last country to have living Aurochs in modern day ?

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [82]

heh I would think so... not how it works I guess. (He got all embarrassed over it when I asked what luck they bring anyway so I didn't press)

Not mention if those big ugly monsters were in the house afterwords (maybe polish storks are diffrent?).
Still a huge nest on one house must be a pain in some way. But if they are lucky ..well they can join my rosemary sprigs, horseshoes over door, rabbit foot in left pocket (poor rabbit didnt find it lucky -I know), a corner spider, cricket in comon room and a blue door. ^_^

If he thinks it, I will indulge.....

Life / Which animals are native to Poland? [82]

Heh Storks..! My BF says they are lucky. I had a dream that our chimney collapsed because of Roc's nest. He got excited and said it was a stork's nest and lucky. Um.okay

I saw some up close in germany visiting family when I was little..they are kinda scary! No ...are scary

Those piggies make me think of javelina the way the little ones are colored. Ive hunted pig in Texas and Sonoma Co. CA
THIS is what I see in my mind when I hear "wild pig"

History / "Westerner's" most ridiculous beliefs about the time of communism in Poland [73]

I dont know if I would be considered average Westerner...

It was highly romanticized when mentioned in my family... or at Church. Though Poland was not singled out often in itself and not just "one of the betrayed" behind the iron curtain. When mentioned it was like moral freedom fighters clinging to ethinic identity and not forsaking the Church to embrace the State religion of (cue* dramatic music and indrawn breath) communism like some countries did. Church alwasy wanted to "help" and asked for donations in that regard.

My father (he was QUITE a bit older than my mum) had also served with some Polish officers during his time as pilot in WWII and added his own spin of favorable review.

*snerk*

In general? belief about life behind curtain was controlled access to infomation and goods with strict reprisals for "mavericks" and religious suppression.

Wow! Im glad you were not present when I drowned. You'd have told the crowd 'so tragic- lets move on' with a hand wave at my corpse!

The combat medic that abalone diving earlier refused to give up because my dog tags showing a fellow soldier. He busted a heart beat and gave me mouth to mouth for TWO HOURS non stop while awaiting paramedics . I would not have lived unassistedfor that time. And I had been under and missing long enough to safely presume dead (over 15 minutes- I was so lucky.... and those of us with faith would say blessed.. my wooden crucifix floated my dog chain out of the collar of my wetsuit and a fishing hook caught it and I was drawn up. Ft Ross region of coast 1991. There is more to story, but not my point here)

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]

I 've not weighed in here because it was at first all men arguing and I REALLY dislike how the thread is titled. It is makes for troll bait "Control?"rly? But Natasha is not alone.........

My children , which you can see in my profile..were all carried to term after I was age 30.
Invasive procedures and pressure to abort has come with each one. A given almost- I have to actually speak loud to say ?what! Of course I am keeping "it"!

I am very adamant about a desire for abortion to be called what it is: Terminating one life for the convience of one's own. Period.

Biblical consideration aside (and it states at conception in several places)....
Conception and the child is dehumanized in order to sugar coat and justify....
And even the infamous person here in US who fought in Roe vs Wade- regretted both the action and her case being made landmark .

I believe informed choices and FULL information is required. Pro abortionsits call it scare stories...
Have any of these pro abortionists (I say that..in my belife pro-choice is the availbility of procedure in MEDICAL hands..not the tax support and promotion of it!) really watched a child in ultrasound? (which wasnt available when abortion was legalized). He/she is alive. Not alive like mold...truly alive!

Throwing abortion numbers out does not indicate how many of those young women did not know the full consequence..the risks to their fertility.. their mental state... Coercion comes in many forms and degrees.

Without many details..mine involved a gun, involved being tracked down, taken out of state against my will to a state that allowed for later termination. I had my "support " along side me all along... "aww how caring! " By the time I could speak alone to anyone it was too late. It wasn't even his child...he wanted ownership of me...

The damage done made for inability to carry without assistance until repair was thought to be done when my middle son was born
(oh yay ..now I can have the typical family litters.. *sigh* and our women dont hit menopause til well into 60s). My Xmonster hates kids so had a vasectomy. He put up so didnt have to shut up.

I always know the WEEK I concieve that I am pregnant. And I am not the warm fuzzy type.
Though I gladly accept each pregnancy as a miracle and each child as a measureless gift, my aspergers actually makes it a queasy and disturbing time to have something LIVING moving INDEPENDENTLY of me and 'touching' me from inside.

I must point out though..sometimes one is on wrong side of small percent. My youngest made his way past 3 forms of birth control. One being Depo Provero !!

(( *whistle* 9_9 ..despite being forbidden by my normal physician to use hormonals..oh right Planned Parenthood asks no questions and simply promotes. So if I as knowledgible adult did that..how many young who are under parental responsibility do so?)

Whats really ironic is when I tease family on the far side of left about death penalties (which they are so adamnat on taking of a life then) simply being "retroactive abortions". Sooo angry.

(I know it is trolly of me. I try not to most the time..but after they slap my face with their trout mace of +12 Liberalism 2-3 times ..I must use my saving throw to up my +13(add 6 for cha) shield of STFU!) srry my humor is all that keeps me sane

Food / What do non-Poles think about eating the following Polish foods? [1410]

CHICCHARONES! yay! (if pork..it is pork right?)

I have low cholestrol..despite butter in everything... as long as no nitrites/nitrates are in a meat/fat; I can go crazy
And as american ..of course my portion is double, eh?..lol!

And I had to bake a small cheater (partiall frozen dough) loaf of buckwheat and oat bread to go with my Tbva!!! (I think the biggest dif is the added chili and tomatoes)

Hmm it wanted me to put in edit..kk
Tbva adds chilis(to taste) and more tomatoes I think than Polish styled dish

I had spillover for braising so had to get out larger skillet

ready for braising an spices

on my plate with fresh baked bread! mm

adding from the edit messed up the images : (

Finshed on the plate-hot bread and spicy hot Tbva!

My bohemian basque from portugal and half my Boheme family from Brasil came up thru Mexico. We added mariachis when 2 cousins married in Mexico in 1930 as we made our way from Brasil-Venezeula to US TX & Calif. Because my voice was pleasant before teenhood I was drug along with cousins. Specially for birthday serenades. I used to play Arpa in our Sone and when necessary a guitarron or 4 string tenor. I have my mothers 12 string but the wide neck makee fretting apinful for my small hands. I can practice a song or two but not adept. Many of my moms generation played squeeze box or accordian. heh

Life / Polish painting artist and signature [11]

The lazy stylized vertical lettering is hard to say. I signed my name to look like butterfly asn G was stylized to be wing so looked like J asn my last name was shortened to allow R for other wing. Befor ei changed my name which now starts with J anyway >_<

It might be something by Ana Marie Vousset (ou Jousset) and be double last name.

But the last part IS Kroussi which is usually a greek name. But if sytlized-the first name is Vousset.
She does have art styling of that nature. I had net crash twice -will get you example maybe

Life / Why is circumcision not practiced in Poland? [701]

So seeing responses; maybe question should be why is it practised across the board in North America?


Of course, being American AND Catholic, I have not seen..um much up close. But what I did was bare.

My boys were circumcised at suggestion of physician and pref of the father.
Since I am not a Jew or Muslim there is no religious reason for me. I actually disliked it so much for my first son , I wasn't sure I wanted it for my youngest. I know there are some health issues that are more on women than men (chlamydia and yeast constant.but those stats are for ...well.... for people who eat a little of EVERY thing at the buffet. I lean to long term monogomous. But former have been unfaithful so I am kinda glad they were clipped.)

Here where I am, it is simply something that is done like the blood tests, tons of vaccines, assuming bottle feeding.

This thread freaked me out........

Since so many who post here, specially male are not actually Polish nationals, I wasn't sure what to think.
So I asked my BBF in the world in Germany (who is 1/2 Polish traditional & yes we are THAT close), But he is American and born here. So I decide ask someone that might have a handle on the question.

I then ask a close EU friend (in what she calls my sudden Aspie way- I am Aspie) "Is it true most don't do in the EU". I swear she stays friends for the amusement value. She said I must come to Helsinki so she can educate me, because I need help. ^_^ So she informs me that majority across the pond, are whole.

....meanwhile even as I finish speaking to her, my paramour is online and in view, asking why I am acting so strange..I blurt it out "..is it true?! are You?"

*sigh* I swear one of us turns the other red for a week on a monthly basis now. I am glad we were (he said our level of friendship before he loved me was " przyjaciel"?) trolly best buds or we could never say and ask these things of each other.

Well that is one potential shock/surprise neutralized.

You guys are killing me!
seems this forum always brings me more questions than answers. I never did ask the question that brought me here.
