Do you know her name?

OOps. Sorry. You did say you know her name. There is a phone directory on-line, if she has a phone. It would be easier if you knew what city she lived in.

Love is the most important thing in the world.

He is the BEST thing that ever happened to me. Love can be so beautiful if you find the right person. Don't give up. It's worth it.

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]

I was married to an American. That was the biggest mistake in my life! I am now engaged to a Polish Dude.
Boy talking about two different sides of a spectrum:
Devil and Angel. Evil and Good.
Good thing my Polish Guy came along because I was getting to the point that all men are the same. And they are not.
I got a second chance in life with my Polish Man. My Angel.

Love / English Men vs Polish Men [207]

I used to open doors for a woman, but now I seldom do it because women are now in such competition with men that I feel opening a door for a woman would show my weakness.. :)

Yup. The femminatzis.

Guys usually open doors for me and I really like it. It is a polite gesture and I feel special and treated with respect.
But it depends what you look like. If you're an attractive well-dressed woman, the guys usually open the door. But if you are a little bit on the fluffy side and not dressed so well - guys don't see you.

Of course, I'm not saying ALL guys are the same. (Don't want to get in trouble here), but I've noticed that gesture all over Europe and the US. And I don't blame any guy who doesn't open the door for a woman. If she barks at him and gives him a dirty look, no wonder he's afraid of the next woman comming along ready to bark at him.

Law / Hiring a Polish Worker - Pros and Cons [107]

what country are you in?

myself and many others are sick of people coming to this country with skills that are no way to the standard of english skills
OK, Sounds like you're in UK
Who are "they"? The Poles?

As far as being told to get qualifications to compete with the Poles I am too late to do that now
Now if the Poles have no skills in the first sentence, how can you compete with them?

Unless "they" are from another country, adding more to the melting pot. Then it would make sense.

Sounds Russian.

Tammy, we don't know what the future brings. One day you're alive, the next you can have a car accident. If you are so completly head over heals in love with him, he should know this. And when he leaves some day, he will always have you in his heart. And later, each of you will go your own way, but then you will meet again. And this time will be bigger and better.

just a thought.

Food / Polish Potatoes [48]

My mom makes them but she doesn't put them in boiling water after mixing with the flour!? I think you got that mixed up with pierogi. Potatoe pancakes you grind up, mix with flour and then fry them.

Food / Polish Potatoes [48]

You make kopytka boiling them in water. But first you boil potatoes, mash them up, mix with flour and egg, roll them and cut them in triangle shapes and throw them into boiling, salted water. After they come up to the top, you take them out and make "skwarki" which is fried bacon bits. You can also make a mushroom sauce.

They are also called "kluski śląskie" or "knedle". In English they're called "dumplings".

Food / Polish Potatoes [48]

The difference between "kopytka" and "kluski" śląskie" is that in the first one you use boiled potatoes and in "kluski" you use raw potatoes. I forgot to mention that. And they're also called "pyzy"

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

OK. Getting back to the point.
I just got back from Poland and I got the same impression about people waiting for the bus, tramwaj, walking their dogs, shopping etc. Sad faces. Everybody looks the same. The girls all have the same hair-cut, short, straight, colored hair. Guys really short crew-cuts. And everybody sad.

But it all starts from the earliest years. I went to school there for ten years starting in third grade. We had school on Saturdays. We had to learn Russian. The teachers were really strict, you had to show respect for them, you had to wear a uniform with your school's logo on your left forearm, you were afraid to smile. There were only two TV channels. Lot of political talks. Now there are about 4, but you get more if you can afford a dish. So I understand why they don't have much to smile about. Life is very serious in Poland. Some know how to find humor in situations, some don't. And the concentration camps are a reminder of the sadness which will never go away. But it is instilled in people from the earliest years and they don't see life from another point of view.

In America in church everyone also shakes hands, everyone goes up for communion, the churches have carpets, if there aren't enough seats, they bring a chair for you.

In Poland people tend to get dressed for church, in America, they often wear jeans.
Just diff. culture

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

I don't get it either, sarah.

But once the people in Poland get to know you and you are lucky to get invited, they turn the other cheek. They become very hospitable, open and friendly. Some don't have much, but they will give their best to welcome you. Out come the cold-cuts, the szynka, the pierogi, bigos, pig and chicken.

"Czym chata bogata"

Life / Why are Poles always so miserable? Why do they never smile? [512]

There are different people everywhere.
I've noticed, that when Polish People come to America, some of them change. Suddenly they have a job, and make a lot of money, they start buying things they always wanted but could never get in Poland, and they buy more and more and more. Some like to show off what they have in front of their family in Poland, but some save all their money to help their poorer family in Poland.

Their behaviour changes too. Some smile more often, some are proud they're in America, and some like to put America down.
keep looking. There are some very nice Polish guys. But maybe, if you meet one in Poland, he won't be influenced by the new opportunities in another country, but by you.

Well, she's got a point here, fed up.

Life / Barking Dogs in Poland [64]

I had a dog who would sometimes bark at something at night and would wake my dad up, then he was mad the whole day. So one day he took some duct-tape and taped the dog's mouth up. He was a collie with a long snout, so it was easy to do.

But they're both dead now.
