People shouldn`t play such tricks coz life can be tricky and the trick becomes reality, much to the trickster`s surprise.

Genealogy / How can I find my family in Poland? (Hochajzel) Malinowska. [15]


That is nice gibberish. The only word which rings the bell is Wtaloystam - first name Władysław. If I wasn`t sick, I would play Holmes and try to decipher the rest. Now I don`t feel like it.

You`d better post a close-up photo of that paper.

Without googling, I remeber it was a poem called The Song About the Ravaging of Podole. I think I still remember that Polish lesson we were doing it on in high school. I only forgot it was Kochanowski. :)

Yes, that is the worst situation when rogue politicians promote Christianity. It is as if a murderer and robber preached Decalogue. I suppose that, taking into consideration the current mass desertion of young people from religion and faith in Poland, in a few years` time Poland will become another Ireland.

A few years ago, as a strong believer, I would have been and I actually was saddened by such a development. Read my first posts in the Importance of Religion thread.

Today, it doesn`t worry me so much coz it is probably the only way to remove harmful PiS from power.


Again, women`s fault. :):)

Yes, Coquilles. Not brown rice in the first pic, it is wild rice.

I usually have it instead of white rice which is deprived of valuable nutrients.


Hey, the guide book of rabbit care advises to sprinkle some veg for your rabbit with salt.

Do you like munching raw veg? I am old but I still have all my teeth intact. I sometimes have a feeling they are growing so I need to wear them down regularly. :):)

My fav munchy veg is kohlrabi. Broccoli, too, though today I prefer to cut off their tops and focus on stems.

Of course you are lying now. Decent people who stick to basic standards do care. It is sad you support immoral acts. Where and when did you acquire such an attitude? Already in Poland or after emigration?

UK, Ireland / Why are Polish people, especially women, so disrespectful toward the English? [442]


Let me repeat - not so fast. Kicking Poles out might be answered with a similar action towards Brits in Poland. That is why the governments have made a deal to avoid such a situation.

Of course, let`s not forget it was built by/for aristocratic Germans in 19th century, not Poles.


Survived the WW2 in a good condition except the interiors damaged by the Red Army troops. I tried to find some detailed info about it but it is too general. We may presume that woodwork which you like so much is post WW2.

The short period of the Soviet control caused significant damage to the castle's internal fittings in comparison to the minor damage caused by World War II.
