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

My mother had blond hair, brown eyes, and a fair complexion-she was Polish/German from the north [Gdansk]
My dad has brown hair and blue-gray eyes and he's 100% Polish from Warsaw. He has twin brothers: One of the twins has blue eyes and blond hair, the other has blue eyes and brown hair.

I have dark brown hair and dark brown eyes-born in Gdansk.
The way I see it, the blue eyed, blond haired Poles mixed with the Scandinavians up north, and the mid and southern part of the country with other Euro-Asian tribes.

I know that there is Mongolian blood in my family from hundreds of years ago so that would explain the dark hair.

Life / Smoking vs. Grilling on Balconies / High Rises in Poland [66]

Don't grill on the balcony!!!???? Show some respect!!!???????
Lots of Poles are arrogant snobs and it's their way or the highway!
The cigarette smoke is nauseating and they sure don't have any respect for their neighbors puffing away like chimneys.
I say get a grill and fire it up as much as you like.
The only thing you have to make sure is that it's legal. And as long as the patio or balcony is concrete, it shouldn't be a fire hazard.

I bought a condo in Gdansk 3 years ago and will get a grill this year.
I see grills on my neighbors' balconies and they use them a lot.
Don't let the opinion of a few people with skewed morals dictate how you live.
