Life / Is it worth returning to Poland in old age? [168]

Even visiting is hard...Here, I pack my stuff and hit the road.

Everybody speaks English, the nearest restroom is always within 10 minutes or less, no 12 hours on the plane or getting on one...I don't have to carry anything...

That's why my wife doesn't even want to hear about visiting Poland. So moving there is out of the question.

...for a very simple reason...

One day, your wife will die...

Next day and till you die you will be the loneliest old guy in the country...

The sickest custom ever...especially in a country without soap, water, and towels in public restrooms - if you can find one...

Only those who truly hate this country would do such a thing.

That's why Jews voted 80-20 for Kamala. That's all you need to know to understand pogroms and "Poles and Jews" phrase.

BS. Just recently, the Supremes told Trump to get Garcia and bring him here.

I would tell them to go to hell and get the scum themselves.

Fortunately, nobody gives a damn. That's how you learn quickly. Dissecting words is the last thing you want to do if you are normal and you have better things to do.

I have said many times that I don't like Polish language and customs. The worst Polish linguistic tumor is the one that starts with "niech".

As in:

Niech mamusia pojdzie do...Or: Czy mamusia moze pojsc do...

She is standing in front of you, Polish idiots...

To refer to your own mother, a woman who would die for you, through the third person - "ona" - is a result of some Polish mental disorder, not respect.

That's why I carry only the US passport that I must have to go back home.

That's just a schtick...a comedy routine...Just as your queen saying ain't or double negatives...That would be funny as hell...

Queen to Trump: What's shakin', Don? Wanna a beer?

Life offers those rare moments that can define a relationship in a bad way for years...

One of those is when you meet your FIL. I blew it with mine and until he died in 1983, it was weird as hell. He would call me Ryszard but never told me how to call him.

I would never call him anything other than Marian. He never suggested so I never did.

When it was my turn to be "a FIL", I was brutal: Never call me "Sir", or anything like this. It's "Rich".

You should see the relief on their faces. I have two SILs.

Another reason why I like Americans more than Poles.

Life / Problems adjusting in Poland [43]


If you speak English, there are no obstacles. It's the other guy that may have an obstacle...Not my problem...

Ask Lyzko if he voted to Kamala.

He doesn't respond to me.

In what situation would I say "Sir" in the US?

Before I speak to a stranger, I make sure he is looking at me. Then: Hi. Can you tell me....

No need for "Sir".

Po polsku / Rosjanie zdewastowali pomnik polskich ofiar w Miednoje [12]


Wpisy na forum sa tylko widoczna objawa tego co jest wsrodku.

Rosjanie nie sa glupi i wiedza ze Polacy ich nienawidza. Polska pozycja w wojnie w Ukrainie jest wystarczajcym dowodem.

Nie mozesz byc przyjacielem i wrogiem at the same time.


Sens nalezy do fizyki i matematyki. Emocje nie musza byc bazowane na sensie.

You hate them. They hate you. Case closed.

Only losers go back...

By the time they are retired, their parents are dead and their friends moved on and don't remember people from 50 years ago.

But that's not the worse of it. At 70, one is supposed to have children and grandchildren.

There is absolutely nothing in Poland that would be worth for me to be this far from them.

And then the language...I would shoot myself if I had to drop American and switch to szcz, Pan and Pani, and other such crap, with "niech" in the lead.
