Such lucky little pooches 🐶
Is the policy mainly up to the bus driver's discretion, throughout most of Poland?

Food / Golabki - Oven or Stove top [11]
Almost everyone I know prepare them in the oven. That's mainly because they're made in bulk amounts, with the intention of giving them to family members & friends 👍

Life / Pączki Day--do Dunkin Donuts or Krispy Kreme count? [39]
The Polish church in Yorba Linda , has their Polish-style donuts especially ordered for festivals, from a local donut shop. The shop owners are Asian. The donuts actually taste quite good.

The church always sell the Polish donuts at their bake sale for $1.00 each. Don't know the name of the shop, where the donuts are made. I believe they might be located on Imperial Hwy.

Travel / Has anyone ever stayed at the Guest House Wytchnienie in Lublin? [6]
My brother and his wife stayed at a teacher's hostel in Lublin. I saw the building from the outside. Not the most glamorous looking place. Very reasonably in his opinion.

Travel / List your dog friendly pubs in Poland - if any :( [8]
You could try contacting a Pet Hotel. Perhaps they could offer some suggestions for you.
In Palm Springs, CA there are many pet-friendly restaurants. They're absolutely great! My dog loves going there; especially since they usually have a special pet menu too:)

I'm not brave enough to put garlic in my socks. Vaseline on my feet, covered with socks at bedtime, is about as daring as I get.

Alexander Imich, an 111-year-old Polish immigrant and Soviet gulag survivor who lives in Manhattan, became the world's oldest living man last month when the previous record-holder, Arturo Licata, died just days before his 112th birthday.

How sad, the Polish man who was supposedly the world's oldest man, has passed away.
He didn't hold his title for a long period of time.

Food / Poland's best cheap beers? [72]
I buy Leźajsk Polish beer at the Polish Deli, located in Orange CA. It's around $3.00 per bottle. Not too expensive IMO,
I'm assuming the price must be very reasonable in Poland?

In Poland, most of my married relatives are around the same age. Some of the males are a few years older, than the wife.
In the United States they date & marry whoever floats his/her boat :-)

There was once a thread that mentioned, Polish kitties only have an average life span of 2 short years. Maybe it's because of some of the crap they kill & eat?

Pep Boys (Manny, Moe & Jack)
Seems to be Polish-American's favorite auto parts store. I remember spending many hours there with my dad, when I was a kid.
They're great for auto repairs too, because the parts are available on site.
