Jim - Hello Everyone

I found this site yesterday and read alot of posts from some real nice people here.
Both of my parents are Polish and came to the US after WWII. They met here when they were young and my siblings and I were born here.

Welcome Jim.

Hi Jim.
Sounds like my story. And don't tell me there were 5 kids in your family, because that would really be freaky!!!

Only 4. My Father was 14 when the Germans took him out of Church and away from his family for forced labor on the German farms.

My dad too!!

Hi Jim,
We joined about the same time. All the views here are pretty interesting, some quite strong, some even hostile. Oh, well. Such is the world

My mother's sister was taken to Germany,she was only 16. Later the family heard that she had two kids and died young. The kids grew up in foster home. It was right after the war and nobody had the money to go and look for them.

Hi Jim and welcome to the forum. I don't have any stories like this but i would love to hear them...!! from everyone..

Hey yeah your right I`ve been hi- jacking peoples threads latley

You hijacker you.

I forgot we were on his thread too. I lived in Chi town when the Bears won the Superbowl. Awesome year

Hi Krysia
My neighbors name is Jack and I have told him I will never say HI to him at the airport.
How are things in Stevens Point?

I remember that the town went crazy! They only have 3 games left in the regular season.
Its going to be tough in the playoffs.
I`d like to see the Bears and the Colts in the superbowl

Hey, Krysia I guess the admin didnt like my Nursey Rhymes.......oops sorry admin!
Someone emailed that to me I thought it was funny

OHHHHHHHH
I made your Kolaczki Monday night. But had to bake them longer for some reason.

Hi Jack. hahahaha.
No snow in St. Pt. very warm, just like in Minn., but wind blowing hard now and getting colder.
There's a Polish saying:
"Święta Barbara po lodzie, Boże Narodzenie po wodzie"

what does it mean?????

OK. Dec. 4th is the names day for St. Barbara. And if you get ice that day, meaning it's very cold, then by Christmas you will get warm weather, or water. And vise-versa. It's like an almanac.

oh ok sounds good to me...

Krsia,Sledz
If the 3 of us get in the car now we can meet in about 3 hours at Wisconsin Dells.

hey herring, did you get that sled you talked about?

Too bad there is any snow I`d like to go snowmobiling...
No I`m going up to Wisconsin this Sobota

Hey Jim. Good idea. But Noahs Ark is closed for the season.

Or Tommy Bartletts thrill show ...hahahaha

A couple died there at the drive in movie. They were watching: ClOSED FOR THE SEASON.
and SEE YOU NEXT SPRING

Went there several times this year. Had free tickets. Saw the robot museum too.
They have a contract with Europe and employ people from Poland and other countries to work there for the summer.

They do that at Six flags too. I remember we used to go on boats called the " Ducks"
and the go-carts



Funny!!!!!

hey, ever been to the House on the Rocks?

No I never heard of that one its been a few years.
Is it a haunted house or a bar???

I have, It's an amazing place with amazing collections. I heard when the owner died he willed it to a friend.

Ok I`ll meet you 2 in 3 hours...
