Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [440]

We also have the climate to grow not just grapes but the best cherries to make wine with too.
Traverse City, Michigan is the "Cherry Capital of the World."
Lyzko would be in seventh heaven living here with all the free wine tasters and testing that our wineries offer in the area.

Off-Topic / Pop A Cork - Wine [440]

I was just thinking about ice wine

Ice wine is a type of wine made with grapes that have been left to freeze on the vine.
Germany and Canada are the leading producers of traditional ice wines, however the United States, particularly Michigan, in the Traverse City area where johnny reb lives produces the best ice wine in the world.

That is because we have the best grape strains and weather in the world to make ice wine with.

News / Poland is the new military power of Europe. [275]

It would certainly be good for Poland's economy and growing role as a major country.,,

I wish so bad that I could find my post in archives from years ago where I posted that Poland would be the major player in the E.U. soon.

The diminishments and laughs I got from the Brits and Germans from that post was all but pure negative disagreement.
It's not just the new military might that is making Poland stand out in Europe, it is Poland's resolve to not be bullied by Putin.

This resolve was BEFORE Ukraine and has only grown stronger with their new military ever since.
Remember how Putin threatened Poland not to dare send any weapons across their border to Ukraine at the start of the war ?
We all saw how far that threat went.
Now you Polish girls need to start pumping out some future soldiers to maintain your military and growing economy.

The Polish taxpayers will ultimately pay

Be a damn shame if Poland had to start paying for their own healthcare and college tuitions wouldn't it.

How exactly can one get electrocuted in the kitchen?

By having a dish pan of water in the sink and knocking something electrical in it like a can open and grabbing for it.
Spilling water in the microwave and turning it on.
Unplugging a faulty electric device with wet hands.
Standing in spilled water on the floor and plugging something in.
Many ways Novi.
You need to be spending more time in the kitchen.

Thats why I like living on my spread here where I can go out front and pee on the lawn if I want to or shoot my gun if I want to. (Freedom)

Back to a gfi for Kitchen and bathroom circuits.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a fast-acting circuit breaker designed to shut off electric power in the event of a ground-fault within as little as 1/40 of a second.

Google it for yourself.
Why Europe doesn't have these baffles me.

It is dangerous in the kitchen if you touch a socket with wet hands.

That is why it is a law in the U.S. that both the bathroom and kitchen circuits must be on a gfi or ground fault interrupt breaker in the service box.

They pop the breaker if the circuit gets grounded in the least bit.
You might get a zap but not enough to kill you before the breaker pops off and kills the current in that circuit.

No sockets in most bathrooms,

How weird.

Electricity and water is a complete no no....

Do you Limey's know what a gfi circuit breaker, ground fault interrupt is used for ?

,I don't know why Lenka is moaning so much,

LOL, you are the one doing the moaning, not Lenka.
Why you attack the girls here and bully them shows what a weakling you are.
Now please back off and control your mouth here.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

my blood flows same DNA that was a prisoner of a German prison encampment

What's your point, your blood has nothing to do with D-Day or those prison camps.
Then you of anyone should understand and be more than grateful individually to have Polish war prisoners liberated by American soldiers.

No need to be obnoxious about it

The hell too, boy, especially when you try to glorify yourself with your blood flow remark. Pfffft !
I have uncirculated historic pictures that were taken in those camps by American soldiers. You don't.
I had relatives that liberated those camps, you didn't.
I have relatives that died at Normandy on D-Day to help defeat the Nazi's, you don't.
That makes me more of an authority than you on the subject.
So if I seem obnoxious, I have ever right to get steamed when some ungrateful Polish kid tries to diminish D-Day and glorify himself.
And you still haven't posted how many American soldiers gave the ultimate on June 6, 1944 at Normandy for you Europeans.

Here junior, I dug this up just for you so it may sink in for what the American soldiers did for Poland and it's prisoners of war.

Read it and weep like I did.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

D-Day gave hope for Poland to be liberated, not gave hope about individual Poles being liberated.

Again, tell that to the Polish prisoners that were being held in those unbearable conditions at Buchenwald.
You seem to be clueless to that.
Tell that to their Polish parents.
And I am still waiting for you to post the number of Americans that gave the ultimate sacrifice on June 6, 1944 at Normandy.
Let's be real here.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

Not in sense of only a few individual Poles

Bullshit said the sparrow, let's eat.
The nation of Poland was very grateful with the Americans liberating Polish prisoners.
Give credit where credit is do and quit being so ungrateful to Americans sacrifices for Poland and the rest of Europe.
Would you care to post how many American soldiers sacrificed theirs lives on June 6, 1944 at Normandy ?

The Poles in Buchenwald prison camp, that the Americans liberated, may disagree with you.

Why?

You shortened my sentence or you would know why.

D-Day gave the Poles hope that they would be liberated by the Western Allies, which unfortunately did not happen.

The Poles in Buchenwald prison camp that the Americans liberated may disagree with you.

Paying everything by direct debit.

Of course.
It is the New World Order's goal to make us a cashless society in order to control us.
They new generation has been dumbed down to think digital money is the only way to go.
They can't wait to get their chip under their skin so they can just get scanned and go.

the forum is about Poland and Poland played no direct role in D-Day....

You got it backwards son, the U.S. played a direct role on D-Day for Poland.

History / Why Was D-Day So Significant for Poland ? [266]

Again this year, not a single European here showed respect and appreciation for what it's U.S. allied troops sacrificed for them on June 6, 1944 (D-Day)

How quickly a couple of generations that may have never been born forget.
Simply disgusting.

Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [450]

However, I'm not that desperate for attention that I would lie and pretend to be a nationality I'm not.

Me neither.

Lying is a sin btw.

So is judging others

Life / Getting a Polish Heritage tattoo - how would Poles react? [26]

You must have a big one then. :-)
Remember when all the college girls were getting them across their lower backs thinking they were cool at the time.
After a year or so they were tagged as "Tramp Stamps" which ended that fad.
Now you see grandma's on the beach with them but no young girls.

Johnny may well have a blonde haired sister but his family are not Polish

Oh but we are maf, 100% Polish.
You are the one that is not 100% Polish which gives you an extreme inferior complex.

Lots of children are born tow headed, that's right.

That is what I posted above
My sister is the only one out of all of our Polish relatives that is a natural dishwater blonde.

Off-Topic / Terms of Ukrainian Surrender [67]

You used to be quite a devout, practising Catholic and now you're not. Does it matter to God which faith you follow? I don't think so.

As long as it is not a Cult.
I think you Mackerel Snappers are starting to catch on.

I see but unfortunately you don't.

Oh quit being so rude Big Shot.

There Feniks, you see?

Absolutely Lyzko.
Poles are more likely to be born blonde, go bald and have freckles.
Feniks is an ex-pat to Poland and wouldn't know this.

Travel / Weird and wonderful Polish train fares [79]

Poland should offer what Germany does which is unlimited train travel for the summer for $52.
Quote:
"The new Germany Ticket (aka Deutschland-Ticket or D-Ticket for short) allows customers to use all local and regional trains as well as buses and metros throughout the country for a mere 49 euros ($52.63 as of late May) per month.

Only long-distance intercity trains are excluded from the deal."
This would be a tourist draw for Poland.

Everything else is only about the 75-80 (if we're lucky) short years

To put that into perspective......."like the steam off a hot drink".

All you have to do now is stop taking religion so seriously and you'll be grand

No wonder you flunked out of the convent.
