History / Destruction of Ukrainian churches in Poland in 1938 [289]
It is sad that Poland and Ukraine had a time in history of extreme violence. The fact is, it did happen and on both sides. Please see the link below. The word 'Vołyniec' meant something derogatory in my home. Maybe it is because some of my mother's siblings (not her) were born in Eastern Kresy where my maternal grandparents owned a couple of water mills. As far as I remember from some stories they moved back to Poland fearing for their lives. I wish I knew more about my grandparents experience but they died when I was a kid and I lost my parents early too. Based on my mom's total aversion to Ukrainian people tells me that she did not have a happy childhood there.
There many incidents like this one.

Yeah, you guys are so visual..maybe she wears it because she likes it? Most likely - it is not for YOU! Gosh, i used to wear short skirts, shorts etc..it does not mean I'm "hunting" and ready for adventure... It's the the fashion, it's sexy, I like it. That's it. Get it?
It's your problem that your imagination gets you going.
she wears hot shorts or mini skirt with stockings

it takes a lot skill and knowledge to pick wild mushrooms. There are plenty of poisonous mushrooms. I never heard of anybody dying, but there could be some serious belly disturbance if you know what I mean...it is important to really know the stuff.
One wrong mushroom and poof! a whole family can die.

Life / Do you collect mushrooms in your country? Poles in Poland do. [94]
I never went to pick mushrooms here in the USA and I didn't like to that in Poland. Anyway, I'd have to trip over a mushroom to find it :) However, I enjoyed picking pure, organic blueberries in the forest! Oh, the taste. You can not even imagine it if you never had them.
Now, I'm stuck with some blueberry farms in Michigan, oh well. They are pretty tasty too and fresher than from the store.
Last year pictures and that's how it works!

History / Chances of Moscow becoming part of Poland again? [102]
I did not say that, Nathan did in his opening thread.
If there is a population increase, it's not the Polish or any western one. How about sending all the Muslims from Europe all the way to Moscow?

As I'm reading and hearing more, the plain clipped the top of the trees, it was pretty low then, why is it that not even one injured person survived? Instead, the plain was also pretty much smashed to pieces. I don't get it. It makes me think about something sinister as the cause.
