Polish Divorce?

2009-08-03T03:12:00.001-07:00

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him--"very quick."

The lawyer said that the speed for getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:

LAWYER: "Have you any grounds?"

POLE: "JA, JA, acre and half and nice little home."

LAWYER: "No," I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

POLE: "It made of concrete."

LAWYER: "Does either of you have a real grudge?"

POLE: "No, we have carport, and not need one."

LAWYER: "I mean, What are your relations like?"

POLE:%26amp;nb sp; "All my relations still in Poland ."

LAWYER: "Is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

POLE: "Ja, we have hi- fidelity stereo set and good DVD player."

LAWYER: Does your wife beat you up?"

POLE: "No, I always up before her."

LAWYER: "Is your wife a ******?"

POLE: "No, she white."

LAWYER: "WHY do you want this divorce?"

POLE: "She going to kill me."

LAWYER: "What makes you think that?"

POLE: "I got proof.

LAWYER: "What kind of proof?"

POLE: "She going to poiso n me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read, and it say, 'Polish Remover'."

Polish Class System in the UK?

2009-08-03T03:12:00.000-07:00

I wonder if anyone can help me.

I'm wondering if there is a specific social hierachy that exists between the recent influx of immigrants to the UK?

For example would a Polish waiter look down on a Polish cleaner - how is this expressed? Are there any specific examples you can think of?

I'd be particularly interested in hearing first hand from anyone who has encountered it.

Polish Class System in the UK?
I think Polish people are patriots. Generally I think they still adopt the communist ethos of equality. I know a few myself. They don't look down on others.
Reply:No, they don't have a class system in Poland, just here in the UK it seems, more specifically England.

Polish AK better than the Yugo AK?

2009-08-03T03:11:00.003-07:00

Is the Polish AK better than the Yugo?, and does the Polish AK have chrome bore? does yugo have chrome bore? Are they slightly or greatly different from each other considering the quality and reliability?

Polish AK better than the Yugo AK?
The Yugo is definitely not chrome lined. Most yugo parts that came in saw heavy usage so most have new commercial made barrels or the pitted original barrel. The polish kits that came in were hardly used and were very high quality. Either in excellent condition is a great gun, but you have to inspect it well before buying it. Check the bore with a bore light to make sure it has strong riflings left in the barrel and when clean it should shine, if not it is called a "dark bore". Some dark bore rifles shoot good, while others are worn out junk.

I myself would choose either the Polish AKMS in 7.62x39 or the Polish AK-74 Tantal in 5.45x39.
Reply:Don't know, but I love my Yugo under folder!
Reply:I like my Polish with a little sauerkraut and some Grey Poupon

Polish immigrants (plumbers)?

2009-08-03T03:11:00.002-07:00

There is quite a lot of flack against Polish people in the UK(I'm not polish). But who would you rather have Polska Paul who works his a*s off all day who comes at 7PM and leaves late, or British Bob who comes and goes comes and goes does half of the work and charges triple?

What do you think?

Polish immigrants (plumbers)?
Hey,If I were British I would go for a qualified countryman providing the charge isn't triple.Why don`t you support your own people?
Reply:Wladek is not Polish. Report It

Reply:There's quite a high number of Polish people where I live and they are very hard working %26amp; polite people. I would rather have them do the work!!!
Reply:I want the person who is qualified to do the job correctly.
Reply:Ladymoon : You say that your husband cannot find a good paying job. My wife and I had been living abroad for a while and when we came back we found that although we were both very well qualified we could not find work due to our ages. I was 57 and my wife 52. We both took jobs at the minimum wage. Me showing cars on ferries at a ferry port and her as a receptionist for a one man concern. Within weeks my employees saw potential in me and gave me a better job. The same thing with my wife. I then found another job (people like employing people that are employed). I retired 2 years ago and started my own business and my wife is purchasing manager of a big company.(by the way she was a qualified drafts-man so never did this job before she came back).

You have 17000 points in just over a year which means that you live on your computer. So that makes two of you that are on some sort of benefit.

Who do you think pays for that. The answer is anybody that works. This includes Poles.
Reply:i couldn't give a toss
Reply:Funnily enough, most of the Polish people I meet in Edinburgh are professional people (lawyers, academics, IT professionals, e.t.c) or students. I suppose the type of immigrants you come across depends on where you live and your social circles mind you.

I would certainly rather have people who are prepared to work hard to earn their living than people who aren't, but I think this idea of home grown British workers being work shy, lazy or slipshod is very unfair as well. As usual it's a small minority giving the silent majority a bad name. Also it's worth keeping in mind that hard work is not necessarily equivalent to good quality work.

I certainly value the contribution that legal immigrant workers make in Britain, but most home grown British workers are just as hard working and diligent.
Reply:No contest - British Bob any day. British Bob speaks English, works to current BRITISH regulations and can be held accountable for any future problems should they arise. As where Polska Paul might be cheap but when you find he's installed your boiler wrongly and its illegal - Polska Paul wont understand and next thing he's done a runner before you can sue xxx
Reply:I'd rather have the bloke that knows how plumbing is done in the UK.

I used to work on a crew that went round building sites fixing the things the poles had f**ked up.
Reply:Depends who has the best skills. And obviously there's comunication. If the Pole doesnt speak any English, you would be in trouble!
Reply:What a stupid question. Don't insult the British tradesmen. You may get dodgy ones but you know there are many honest people who rely on a good name for their wages.

I have had really good British tradesmen give excellent service.

What is with the myth that poles work harder and better. I work in a factory full of them and they are no different from the British they just want the money that is their drive being here.
Reply:i've worked with quite a few polish on sites here in ireland and i have to say the majority of them play the game, they get paid shi't wages so why do the extra time to ensure a quality job. its the foremans job to check on them. but i have to say most of their work is pretty piss poor. but i have no problem with them or their work. i'd be happy to see the new builds fall on top of the heads of the greedy developers.
Reply:British Bob because by hiring him you are helping him pay his mortgage and look after his kids. By hiring Polska Paul you are sending money back to Poland and helping to put British Bob (who could be your next door neighbour or a friend of yours) out of work, contributing to him losing his home and leaving his wife and kids with nothing.

I'm sorry if it sounds wrong or harsh but I like to look after my own. Poland can look after theirs. I will never hire a Polish plumber. British all the way. You have to pay more to get the best.

Actually when we need plumbing work done we hire a friend of my partner's who qualified as a plumber last year and who can't get work because of all the competition. He's now working in a pub to pay the rent and very demoralised - all he wants is a chance to work and use the skills he gained in college. So we give him whatever work we can. Polska Paul will NEVER get a penny out of me!

Actually "Eastern EU" our home was not repossessed as we managed to save it (if you had bothered to read my previous question you would have seen this) and the reason we could not "pay our mortagage" is because my partner is unable to get a decent paid job, probably because of the flood of Eastern European leeches currently sucking the blood out of our employment market. I may be poor but I have my standards. I will NEVER employ a Polish plumber! I look after my own like I said. I will pay more if I have to just to make sure another British family does not have to go through what I have. Unlike you I have standards and care about more than just money.
Reply:Bob for me where did these polish train for a start also i wouldnt want them in my house touching my stuff who knows that they aint moving the rest of the family into your front door while your in the kitchen making a brew.

Its not very often you find a bob thats does half a job these days as they do have the polish to compete with
Reply:You should ask how many people have been killed or injured by poles driving hgvs without a proper licence and totaly disregard tachograph law.Also how many have disappeared back to poland before they can be prosecuted.Or eastern European truck mechanics that think the only tool you need to service trucks is a bloody pen
Reply:I personally would like a plumber to turn up on time and give a fair price.
Reply:British Bob because he's here to stay and get the job done. Polsksa Paul is only in it for a passport and benefits.
Reply:obviously the polish guy... it's a general rule that immigrant often work harder.
Reply:good old bob for me anytime, why is there such a myth that Poles do such great jobs ??
Reply:Rather the Polish one obviously.
Reply:the polish guy. Because im gonna rip the head off the english guy who installed a shower for my mother at an extortionate price. Hard to plumb with broken fingers!
Reply:I think it's an economic issue: everyone wants the best quality for the best price, it doesn't matter if it's Polish, English, Chinese, Japanese, Zimbabwean or Marsian.

And it is not a political problem, it is all about the leaking tape.

Ladymoonlight, you see, your tap has probably been still leaking after that and you had to pay 4x as much, as you would otherwise. Is this why you could not pay your mortgage and your home was repossessed (as per one of your previous questions) ?

Ladymoonlight, I could not have look at all your Q%26amp;A, as you've made it private. In one of them I read before, you stated your husband is an unskilled worker. Maybe that is the reason why he cannot find a job according to his/ yours demands and aspirations? News for you: it takes more to get a good offer on the modern job market than just nationality and unjustified high self-esteem. You were also complaining he could not improve his skills because you struggle for money and someone else advised you how and where to obtain the financial support. Taking into consideration the fact you husband is highly intelligent (as you stated in your answer to the one of my questions), what is the problem with him going to the college to do some courses? Again Eastern Europeans, or plain laziness? C'mon...

Let's leave your husband, then...

You said something about your standards, I am going to ask you, what they are? I see only arrogance, ignorance and ingratitude. I am sure as hell, you're one of these numerous Englanders who claim loads of children benefits, unemployment benefits, tax credits, job seekers allowances and God knows, what else, yet they are still moaning and complaining about the people like me and other immigrants here who contribute heavily to the system. We feed you and others similar to you, and I did not take a broken penny back, nor I have ever desired one. And what is given back to us, instead of gratefulness? Hostility, nothing else.

Last contradiction: money is not everything for you? Fine, but why are you still complaining you have not got enough dosh?

Polish people HELP me!?

2009-08-03T03:11:00.001-07:00

I have this project for my Polish class.

I need pictures of people who lived in Dawna Polska because I have to dress as one of the people who lived back then. Like people who lived in Biskupin. If you find some descriptions about how they dressed please post them.

I need a lot of pictures. My teacher told me to watch Stara Basn to get a general idea of what she wants and I'm probably going to do that.

You can write in Polish. I don't really mind.

Jak ludzie ubierali sie w Dawnej Polsce? Zdjecia milo widziane :)

Polish people HELP me!?
Stara basn is really good example of the old times in poland here u have a summery of what the movie is about An Ancient Tale: When the Sun Was God takes place in ninth-century Europe, when different Slavic tribes lived upon the lands that would later become the nation of Poland; at a time when each tribe worshiped its own deities. A cruel prince, Popiel, and his scheming wife will do anything in their power to pass control of this land to their son (and according to local legend, Popiel will ultimately be eaten by mice). The commander of Popiel's army, Piastun, opposed to the crimes and intrigue that Popiel orders him to commit upon the people to guarantee the succession, turns on Popiel.

Popiel seeks revenge upon his old commander, but Piastun is rescued from death by a young hunter and warrior, Ziemowit Pastowic. Ziemowit had spent years living with the Vikings and had only recently returned to his former homeland. Ziemowit falls in love with Dziwa, the lovely daughter of Wisz, a wealthy local merchant, wishing to marry her but Dziwa's fate is sealed by her father — she is to become a priestess in the local temple...

Zycie wikingow

mam nadzieje ze ise przyda :):)

Świat Wikingów był imponujący. Obejmował tereny od wschodnich wybrzeży Morza Śródziemnego aż po Amerykę. Już pod koniec VIII wieku po Chr. wikiński żywioł zaczął ogarniać stopniowo coraz to większe obszary. W wyobraźni współcześnie żyjących ludzi Wikingowie jawią się jako łupieżcy, krwawi wojownicy i najeźdźcy. Z mieczem w ręku staczali bitwy, palili domostwa i brali niewolników. Jest to jednak tylko ta mroczna strona tajemniczego ludu. Wikingowie to również jedni z pierwszych odkrywców, zdobywców, doskonali rzemieślnicy, kupcy i żeglarze. Niewielu z nas wie przecież, że to właśnie oni, na długo przed Krzysztofem Kolumbem, dotarli do wybrzeży Ameryki. Dzięki doskonale opanowanym umiejętnościom żeglugi oraz wspaniałym statkom - płaskodennym łodziom wiosłowym, wyposażonym w prostokątne żagle, tzw. drakkarom (szybkim łodziom przybrzeżnym) i knorrom (pełnomorskim statkom), a także wynalezieniu techniki żeglowania z użyciem siły wiatru, mogli odkrywać miejsca, do których nikt przed nimi nie odważył się dotrzeć. Dlatego też wikińskie osady zakładane były na Hybrydach, Orkadach, Islandii, czy Grenlandii. Ich szlaki wypraw prowadziły również do Konstantynopola, czy na przykład Lizbony.

Skąd taka władza, determinacja i takie umiejętności? Wikingowie stali się sławni w Europie po złupieniu klasztoru na wyspie Lindisfarne w 793 roku po Chr. Od tego momentu groźny lud z Północy zaczął wzbudzać panikę i strach wśród ludności zamieszkującej wsie i miasta.

Słowo "wiking" pochodzi od staronordyjskiego vik czyli zatoki lub starogermańskiego vik, czyli osady portowej. Tłumaczone jest na różne sposoby. Według jednych oznaczało zajęcie – wyruszenie na wyprawę łupieską – "wyjście na wiking". Według innych termin oznaczał osobę, która wojowała na morzu – grabieżcę.

Ojczyzną Wikingów były chłodne i wietrzne obszary Skandynawii. Górskie tereny, częściowo pokryte śniegiem i lodem, o mocno postrzępionej linii brzegowej z wieloma wysepkami, zamieszkiwane przez drapieżniki, z wodami obfitymi w ryby – oto kolebka wikińska, z której rodzili się wysocy wojownicy. Berit Sellevold, norweska antropolog, tak opisuje wygląd Wikingów: "zarówno mężczyźni, jak i kobiety wyróżniali się proporcjonalną budową ciała. Czaszki cechuje przeciętna szerokość i wysokość w porównaniu z długością (...) Jeżeli chodzi o powierzchowność, ludzie z okresu wikińskiego nie różnili się zbytnio od obecnych mieszkańców Północy z wyjątkiem nieco niższego wzrostu i znacznie zdrowszych zębów oraz naturalnie odzienia, uczesania i ozdób".

Wikingowie podobnie jak inne ludy Północy posługiwali się językiem staroskandynawskim i czcili tych samych bogów: Odyna i Thora. Ich społeczność dzieliła się, używając współczesnych pojęć, na: arystokrację-wojowników, ludzi stanu wolnego (kupców, rzemieślników, rolników) oraz niewolników. Przyczyną wypraw były najprawdopodobniej: chęć zdobycia nowych ziem i bogactw. Ale wydaje się, iż to właśnie niedostatek uprawnych gruntów wzbudził "głód ziemi" u Wikingów. Doskonale przygotowane pod względem technicznym statki pozwoliły bez większego ryzyka przemieszczać się na duże odległości.

Obrano kilka kierunków ekspansji. Jako pierwszy południowy-wschód. Wikingowie wyruszyli przez Morze Bałtyckie w kierunku terenów dzisiejszej Rosji, z biegiem wielkich rzek takich jak Dniepr, Dniestr, Wołga. Przekształcili istniejące tu osady słowiańskie (Nowogród) lub założyli nowe ośrodki (Kijów) tworząc pomost pomiędzy Północą a Południem. Szlaki ich wypraw sięgnęły Morza Czarnego a następnie Konstantynopola oraz Wołgi, Morza Kaspijskiego i Bagdadu. Handlowano sprowadzanymi z Północy futrami i niewolnikami, otrzymując w zamian srebro, w postaci monet, pochodzące z kopalni Arabii. W 865 roku wyprawy Wikingów ruszyły w kierunku dzisiejszej Anglii, Francji, Szkocji i Irlandii.

Tak jak już wspominaliśmy Wikingowie, dzięki odkryciom archeologicznym, znani są również jako rzemieślnicy-artyści. Mieli oni tendencję to przekształcania najbardziej prostych przedmiotów użytku codziennego w arcydzieła sztuki użytkowej. Rozliczne wyprawy wzbogacały rodzimą ornamentykę. Na przedmiotach takich jak rękojeści noży, zapinki, czy sprzączki do pasa występowały stylizowane wizerunki zwierząt oraz motywy roślinne. Splecione ze sobą różne wzory tworzyły tajemnicze wizerunki, zapierające niejednokrotnie dech w piersiach. Do dnia dzisiejszego sięgamy chętnie do tej stylistyki.

Świat wikiński to również runy - noszące cechy magii - pismo. Pismem, które składało się prawie wyłącznie z linii prostych pokrywano kamienie, przedmioty z kości i metalu. Wiele napisów runicznych znajduje się na kamieniach nagrobnych, na których w ten sposób uwieczniano imię zmarłego. Legenda wikińska głosi, że to bóg Odyn, poddany ciężkim próbom, jako pierwszy posiadł umiejętność posługiwania się pismem runicznym:

"Wiem, że zawisłem/na targanym wiatrem drzewie/przez całych dziewięć nocy/przeszyty włócznią/oddany Odynowi/sam z sobą/

na tym drzewie/którego korzeni/nikt nie zna/nie dostałem chleba/ nie napoju z rogu/zajrzałem w głębiny/chwyciłem runy/krzycząc je wyrwałem/a potem na powrót w dół się stoczyłem."

Hávamál z Eddy poetyckiej

Alfabet runiczny nazywany jest futhark, zaś nazwa pochodzi od dźwięków przypisanych jego pierwszym sześciu znakom: f, u, th, a, r, k. Każdy symbol był odpowiednikiem dźwięku oraz piktogramem – obrazkiem opisującym jakieś pojęcie.

Podobnie jak pismo runiczne taki i cały świat wikiński przesycony był wierzeniami i magią. Najpotężniejszym bogiem był jednooki Odyn – bóg wojny, strategii, przebiegłości, który jedno oko zamienił na łyk wody ze Studni Wiedzy. Polegli wojownicy udawali się do jego domu – Walhalla w Asgardzie. Jego atrybutem była włócznia Gungnir oraz ośmionogi koń – Sleipnir. Drugim najważniejszym bogiem wikińskim był Thor, a oto opowieść o jego wyprawie po Młot, nieodłącznym elemencie jego wizerunku:

Polish food?

2009-08-03T03:11:00.000-07:00

I have noticed some of the big supermarkets are starting to sell Polish food - mostly stuff in jars, packets of meat/sausage and bread. I'd like to try some of this food but I dont understand the label and the content. Have you tried any of these foods and can you recommend anything? Please give me the name in Polish of you can and an explanation in English, thanks.

Polish food?
Pork is a popular polish meat,-sausages made with pork include---Kabanosy-cabannos---,zywiecka,... .Polish pate-paszet polski, .Boczek Zwijany----cooked bacon roll Placki Kartoflane--potato pancakes. .Golabki--stuffed cabbage Polish food is tasty ,filling and nutritious i love it
Reply:The Carrot, Apple %26amp; Raspberry nectar drink is really nice... it comes in a glass bottle with a picture of a rabbit on the front... sorry I can't remember the name I just pick it up when I see it! Tastes very good... not too sure about any of the foods.
Reply:usually they have english small labels, i love polish food and cant stop bying it
Reply:Most polish sausage is simmered in sauerkraut and then put on a nice crusty bakery bun...very good. Polish sauerkraut is sweeter than the regular kind you would usually buy.
Reply:Try some of the wafer bars they do... can't remember the names, but they're sweet, a little larger than chocolate bars, but a lot lighter... okay, I've just had one, and here's the info on the wrapper- they are called Grezeski (could be a brand name), and they come in three flavours... as far as I can see... Toffee, banana and hazelnut. There's even an e.mail address on here! kaliszanka@kaliszanka.com.pl A website! www.kaliszanka.com.pl Polish sweeties on the way :) or not, it's not an online shop :( but hey, still interesting to take a look...

Like you, I'm curious about Polish food, but I don't read Polish either, and that makes it tricky to check whether or not there are meat-derived ingredients. Not fun for a veggie bun...
Reply:DELICIOUS!
Reply:I'm not too sure about polish savoury stuff, I find it very salty, but I do like the fruit juices, especially cherry, and I like polish apple cake, too. Dumplings are ok if you like that sort of thing. I can't give you any brand names, but it's evident what each item is from the label. Nutrition/ ingredients information will be available on a sticker on top of the label if the original one isn't comprehensible to the common or garden Tesco shopper.

I live in a small town and we have 2 polish delis nearby - find your nearest and go and ask them about their produce. They'll give you samples and explain how it's made and recommend different foods for you to try.
Reply:their stuff is brilliant .most of the sausages are made from pork so i dont eat them but my freinds do and say they are really good. the fruit juice and bread they make are excellent.

Polish Wedding Traditions?

2009-08-03T03:10:00.002-07:00

I need traditions, not food suggestions (I tried asking this in cultures area and got lists of food to serve). My fiance %26amp; I are both part Polish and I wanted to include some traditions in our wedding and/or reception.

I know about the bread, salt %26amp; wine tradition, but does anyone know of other traditions that are done at Polish weddings or receptions?

Reply:We do the Oczepiny (http://www.weddingdialogues.com/December...

There's the Pani Mloda, or money dance, but I think that's tacky, and have never seen it done at weddings, but have googled it,

As for food... I think the best suggestions would come from your Polish relatives... Or even Martha Stewart - who is Polish, and has some great recipes from her mother.

Good luck, and Congratulations!
Reply:The dollar dance is a Polish tradition. The Polish weddings I have been to gave you a shot before you got to dance with the bride or groom.

Polka seems to be pretty popular among the Polish also.

Most other traditions I have seen have been food related.
Reply:Wow, I was seriously thinking about asking that question this morning. I plan to try to add a little something to my wedding that's Polish also, but having a hard time finding stuff online. My dad's 100%, so his family (the majority of our guests) will appriciate the little touches even if it's not a polish ceremony.
Reply:Hello! The chair dance! Where the bride and the groom have to wear a silly hat and then they are hoisted up on the chairs while the people holding them dance around. So funny. And makes for great pictures. My mom and dad did it. Dad had a condom on his hat. Hilarious! Best picture in their wedding album. My fiance isn't down for the tradition, but it will happen. My Polish family won't let it go.
Reply:You can't have a Polish wedding without a lot of beer and vodka, kielbasa and saurkraut (the REAL stuff, not the cheap smoked stuff), pierogies, and lets not forget POLKA!!!!
Reply:There's a tradition at the wedding reception where the bride (and sometimes the groom) dance with the guests when the guests pay a few dollars per dance. This a way to raise money to pay for the reception and also help the couple start their new life.
Reply:Yes.

All the guests are supposed to get good and hammered on Vodka, play plenty of Bobby Vinton and serve Kielbasa and sour Kraut.

Przyjemnego dnia!!!!
Reply:i'm polish too, my mom is 100% polish. she said that every polish wedding they play polka music. so ask your dj to play a couple polka songs throughout the night.

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl. Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him.

The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances, and asked him the following questions:

L: Have you any grounds?

P: Yes, an acre and half and nice little home.

L: No, I mean what is the foundation of this case?

P: It made of concrete.

L: I don't think you understand. Does either of you have a real grudge?

P: No, we have carport, and not need one.

L: I mean. What are your relations like?

P: All my relations still in Poland

L: Is there any infidelity in your marriage?

P: We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player.

L: Does your wife beat you up?

P: No, I always up before her.

L: Is your wife a ******?

P: No, she white.

L: Why do you want this divorce?

I work in a local factory in a deprived area and we were told that the management would be bringing in "hard working english speaking polish workers" what actually happened was polish guys were brought in with no grasp on the english language except what we have taught them ,which makes our particular work very dangerous because of the language barrier. The guys are all sound and pleasant enough but work is now unsafe....has anyone got any views on this?

In a dangerous working environment, a manager that can not explain the dangers and proper working practices to a worker is a liability.

No-one who can not explain themselves clearly and in a way that everyone can understand should not be given a managerial role.

Can you imagine what would happen if a new worker lost a hand in an accident caused by insufficient health and safety information being given? The company who employed the manager would be 100% to blame and could (and should!) be sued for every penny (cent?) they have.
Reply:It's cheap labour mate, Same is happening in France, get in the Polish/Portugese (?) cheapo's. They will work for as little as 4-6€ an hour
Reply:if these guys aren't legal call the feds.
Reply:There's not a lot you can do really, except contact the local HSE
Reply:This is a very small planet. How many European languages do you speak? Little Island Britain needs to realise that it's two way traffic...what goes around comes around. Blame your own Government and greedy company owners, not the honest workers, who like us, have the right to move freely within the European community to live and work. It suits the British government and the fat cats if the majority of people are ignorant to the truth and our European neighbours. I mean, if we were all switched on there probably wouldn't be many people left in Britain to pay all these stealth taxes etc. There's no country or power without the people. To hijack one of the governments ad-campaigns, "Those who can....leave!!"
Reply:The polish are here to stay I'm afraid. So everyone should get used to the idea.
Reply:In the late 80's, Ford in Dagenham had to give their shop floor workers English lessons because such a high percentage of them could not read the signs on how to turn the machines off in case of an accident.

And you are complaining that Poles can't speak English! At least they work their arses off.
Reply:i think that it should be part of the criteria that all migrants should be able to read, write %26amp; speak English
Reply:If they work hard whats the prob?
Reply:If accidents are occuring often in this certain job of yours, then you should contact your health advisers, and list a complaint of these events that happen. Sorry I don't have the site for this. As for bringing new polish workers, it's good they are getting work, but with the things you said they shouldn't put more people in there if it's dangerous. Try to communicate a health inspector ASAP.
Reply:yes I know the polish are very nice BUT ..think if you are going to work in UK learn the language its important why should we learn yours this is UK we speak English and you are eroding what our unions fought for years to get us health and safety and a fair wage
Reply:i know how you feel i had the same problem with a job i had and i was the supervisor. i was also told they would speak english but the polish had no idea..am sure you know yourself how hard it is to tell sumone who dont speak english by hand signal. i tryed to work by heath and safety rule's but it was impossible i complained to the boss's that it was a safety issue but they just ignored me. a week later 3 people were crushed 1 with a broken back because of communication problem( guess who got the blame) i was not even in the same room when it happened i tryed my best with them but it was no use i lasted 6 days after that it was a nitemare.. i dont have a problem with them working in this country, they are good workers but they should be forced to learn standard english before they are allowed to work in this country
Reply:If you think the Safety of your job has been compromised make a call to the Health and Safety Executive. It is your employers legal duty to ensure that you have a safe and comfortable environment to work in, if he is not doing this he is breaking the law. The Health and Safety at Work act covers every person in the UK That has a job, including people that are self employed.It is your choice, have an accident, and be told that it was your own fault that you should have reported to the HSE. There are 2 many employers still getting away with this kind of treatment.

Polish Language?

2009-08-03T03:09:00.003-07:00

I asked this a few days ago and got a great answer. I spoke to my grandfather in law today though who is Ukrainian and he says the language is not Russian as he can speak Russian. This statement must be polish but again i cannot read every word correctly so it may not make complete sense:

"I have recieved a Christmas Card from my Polish neighbours but can't understand what it means. Please can you translate the following:

Padlupcci elloiuki ua stole wodki i szyuki, wesoiyou kolpoluikow, podukow bez liku, duzepo beiuwaue i zabowy olo (or do) raue.

I'm afraid that I may have mis read some words but they may sound alike."

Polish Language?
I'm polish,no,it's not. Some of the spellings are similiar to the polish language though,like ''wodki'' (wódki,plural of vodka),''szyuki'' (possibly szynki,ham),''wesoiyou (wesołych,happy),''bez'' (bez,without),''duzepo'' (dużego,big),''zabowy'' (zabawy,fun),''do'' (do,to).

In my opinion it sounds more like russian,although I don't know this language too well yet. There are a lot of differences between the 2,and I think you missed a few key words,but the message is more-or-lessly clear,the person writing this is sending the receptant greetings for the holiday.
Reply:it´s not Polish for sure but some words sound similar to Polish

Polish song lyrics????????????????
That sounds like the song "Zatańcz ze mną" by Edyta Bartosiewicz:

Zatańcz ze mną jeszcze raz

Otul twarzą moją twarz

Co z nami bedzie? Za oknem świt

Tak nam dobrze mogło być

Gdy Ciebie zabraknie

I ziemia rozstąpi się, w nicości trwam

Gdy kiedyś odejdzisz

Nas już nie będzie i siebie nie znajdziesz też

Zatańcz ze mną jeszcze raz

Chce chłonąć każdy oddech Twój

Co z nami będzie? Uwierz mi

Tak jak ja, nie kochał nikt

Gdy Ciebie zabraknie

I ziemia rozstąpi się, w nicości trwam

Gdy kiedyś odejdziesz

Nas już nie będzie i siebie nie znajdziesz też [x2]

W salonie wśród ciepłych świec już nigdy nie zbudzisz mnie

Już nigdy nie powiesz mi, jak bardzo kochałeś mnie

Kochałeś mnie

kochałeś mnie

Czy słyszysz jak tam, daleko, muzyka gra

Zatańcz ze mną jeszcze raz

Gdy Ciebie zabraknie

I ziemia rozstąpi się, w nicości trwam

Gdy kiedyś odejdziesz

Nas już nie będzie i siebie nie znajdziesz też

Zatańcz ze mną ostatni raz

Nas już nie będzie i siebie nie znajdziesz też

2009-08-03T03:08:00.002-07:00

A German scientist, an American scientist and a polish scientist were working on an experiment. The german scientist put a fly in a Petri dish and pulled its back legs off and said “fly, fly”. They fly flew around the room and back onto the dish. he writes in his book “fly’s can fly without their back legs”.

The American scientist pulls the front legs off of the fly and says “fly, fly”. They fly flies around the room and lands back on the dish. he writes in his book “fly’s can fly without any legs”.

The polish scientist pulls fly’s wings off and says “fly, fly”…” FLY, FLY”. He stands there for a minute and then writes in his notebook “flies cannot hear with out their wings”.

Polish Dumpling Soup Recipe?

2009-08-03T03:07:00.002-07:00

I've had the BEST polish dumpling soup at a local restaurant here. Unfortunately, they are not willing to share the recipe. Is there anyone out there who knows a good recipe for Polish dumpling soup that I can make myself? (its great when you're not feeling well and the weather is cold and you need some comfort food). :) thanks for any help

Polish Dumpling Soup Recipe?
Dumpling Soup

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1 egg

3/4 cup water, or as needed

6 medium potatoes - peeled and cubed

1 teaspoon salt

8 cups water

2 tablespoons butter or margarine

4 ounces sliced bacon, diced

1 large onion, chopped

DIRECTIONS

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Crack the egg into a measuring cup, and add enough water to equal 1 cup. Whisk with a fork. Gradually stir the egg-water and oil into the flour mixture with the fork until a soft dough is formed. Use your hands to mix the dough until is smooth and no longer sticky, adding more flour or water as needed. Cover the bowl, and set aside until the potatoes are ready.

Place potatoes in a large pot with the salt and water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and onion; cook and stir until onions are golden and bacon is cooked. Set aside.

When the potatoes are cooked, pinch off small pieces of the dough, and drop them into the boiling potato water. Turning the dough in your hand will help keep it from sticking to your fingers. Once all of the dumplings have been added, you can stir in the bacon and onions. Ladle some of the water from the soup into the skillet, and swish it around to clean out all of the tasty bits and juices. Pour back into the soup. Turn off the soup, and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

I have a friend who is originally from Poland and would like to make a traditional Polish meal for her. Any suggestions? There is a Polish food shop nearby so I should be able to get various special ingredients although I've never actually been in there.

Try making or purchasing some golabki's (stuffed cabbage rolls), and some pierogi. Breaded pork cutlets are also very good. When I don't feel like cooking up a big polish meal, I'll go to my local polish deli and get some breaded pork cutlets, some pierogi, and some salads from the deli then make some mashed potatoes...yumm.

1 onion, chopped

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt

3 teaspoons caraway seed

1 large head cabbage, cut into small wedges

1 pound Polish kielbasa

DIRECTIONS

In a large skillet, fry bacon over medium high heat until browned, turning once. Remove bacon from pan, reserving drippings, and place on paper towels.

Stir water, sugar, onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, seasoned salt, and caraway seeds into drippings. Add cabbage, and gently stir. Cover, and cook over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes.

Add kielbasa to the pan. Cook, covered, for an additional 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble bacon over top, and serve hot.

BABKA (POLISH BREAD)

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups margarine, softened

2 cups milk

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast

1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

5 eggs

4 egg yolks

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon orange liqueur

3 tablespoons grated orange zest

1 tablespoon grated lemon zest

10 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups dried currants

1 1/2 cups raisins

1 1/2 cups golden raisins

1 cup chopped blanched slivered almonds

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS

Place yeast in a small bowl, and pour warm water over it. Stir with a spoon to break up the yeast. Set aside for 2 to 3 minutes.

In a small saucepan, scald milk. Add 1 cup butter or margarine, and stir until melted. Remove from heat, and let cool until lukewarm.

In a mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs and egg yolks with an electric mixer with a paddle attachment. Add sugar and salt, and continue to beat until mixture is thick and pale. Add vanilla, orange-flavored liqueur, zests, and yeast mixture. Combine. Beat in 4 cups flour gradually. Add milk mixture alternately with remaining 4 cups flour while beating on medium speed. Add up to an additional 1 cup flour if the dough is sticky. Mix in currants, raisins, golden raisins, and almonds.

Transfer dough to a clean large bowl. Knead using a large wooden spoon until the dough pulls away and doesn't stick to the spoon, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer dough to a large buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm place until dough reaches the top of the bowl, about 1 to 2 hours. Punch the dough down, re-cover the bowl, and allow to rise again.

Butter 3 angel food cake pans. In a small bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, brown sugar, and cinnamon to form crumb topping. Sprinkle evenly among the 3 pans.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Punch the dough down again. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 1 minute. Cut into thirds, and transfer dough to prepared pans. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Allow to rise to the top of pan. Beat remaining egg, and brush the top of the dough.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped, about 30 to 45 minutes. Immediately turn out onto a cooling rack so bread does not stick to the pan. Cool.

POLISH PEROGIES

INGREDIENTS

4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

2 cups sour cream

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

8 baking potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons processed cheese sauce

1 dash onion salt to taste

1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

In a large bowl, stir together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, sour cream, eggs, egg yolk and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour until well blended. Cover the bowl with a towel, and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes.

Place potatoes into a pot, and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain, and mash with shredded cheese and cheese sauce while still hot. Season with onion salt, salt and pepper. Set aside to cool.

Separate the perogie dough into two balls. Roll out one piece at a time on a lightly floured surface until it is thin enough to work with, but not too thin so that it tears. Cut into circles using a cookie cutter, perogie cutter, or a glass. Brush a little water around the edges of the circles, and spoon some filling into the center. Fold the circles over into half-circles, and press to seal the edges. Place perogies on a cookie sheet, and freeze. Once frozen, transfer to freezer storage bags or containers.

To cook perogies: Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Drop perogies in one at a time. They are done when they float to the top. Do not boil too long, or they will be soggy! Remove with a slotted spoon.

Reply:POLISH APRICOT-FILLED COOKIES

Fredricka Schwanka of Terryville, Connecticut, re-created her grandmother's recipe for these pastrylike cookies. This dough is extremely tender — if at any time during the filling process it gets too soft to work with, chill it on wax paper on a large baking sheet. You will have leftover filling, which is wonderful spread on toast or an English muffin.

For pastry dough

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened

1 large egg, lightly beaten with 2 teaspoons water for egg wash

For apricot filling

1 3/4 cups coarsely chopped dried apricots (10 oz)

1/2 cup golden raisins

2/3 cup mild honey

1/4 cup sweet orange marmalade

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup water

Special equipment: parchment paper

Garnish: confectioners sugar

Make dough:

Whisk together flour and salt in a bowl until combined.

Beat cream cheese and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until pale and creamy, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer (preferably fitted with a paddle attachment) or 6 minutes with a handheld. Reduce mixer speed to low, then add flour mixture and mix just until combined.

Divide dough into 4 equal pieces and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill until firm, about 1 1/2 hours.

Make filling while pastry chills:

Bring apricots, raisins, honey, marmalade, cinnamon and water to a boil in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring, until dried fruit is softened and mixture is thick, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and cool until warm, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Chill until cold, about 2 hours.

Assemble and bake cookies:

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.

Roll out 1 piece of dough (keep remaining pieces chilled) between 2 (12-inch) sheets of well-floured wax paper with a rolling pin into a roughly 11-inch square. (If dough gets too soft, transfer dough in wax paper to a baking sheet and chill until firm.) Discard top sheet of wax paper and trim dough with a pastry wheel or sharp knife into a 10-inch square. Cut square into 4 equal strips, then cut crosswise in fourths again to form a total of 16 (2 1/2-inch) squares.

Working quickly, place 1 heaping teaspoon filling in center of each square. Brush 2 opposite corners with egg wash, then bring corners together and pinch firmly to adhere. (If dough becomes too soft, freeze it on a baking sheet for a few minutes.)

Arrange cookies 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Bake until golden, 17 to 20 minutes, then transfer with a metal spatula to racks to cool completely. Make more cookies with remaining dough and filling on a lined cooled baking sheet.

Cooks' note:

Cookies keep, layered between sheets of wax paper or parchment, in an airtight container at room temperature 4 days.

Makes about 5 dozen.
Reply:polish cuisine consists alot of the same as most Scandinavian and Bavarian cuisines. mainly alot of potatoes, cabbage, pork sausage and such. i suggest a nice kielbasa sausage with sauteed onions, boiled potatoes and braised red cabbage in wine.

How do you get nail polish out of a carpet?

2009-08-03T03:06:00.003-07:00

I spilled a drop of red/pink nail polish on my carpet which is a beige color. I tried nail polish removed and kitchen cleaner, but it is stil really obvious. We are moving out really soon and already got our carpets cleaned, i dont want to do that again for just one tiny spot. What can I do to get it out??? Help?!?

How do you get nail polish out of a carpet?
i would Like to no tht aswell Lol
Reply:cant you just colour it in with felt pens to match your carpet?
Reply:yeah try WD 40
Reply:there is a liquid called "goo gone" you can get it at any hardware store i think it will get rid of it
Reply:if you can't get it out with "goo be gone", and if it is a very small spot, then take a razor blade and gently cut the fiber that has the polish on it. This can work as long as the spot is small and won't leave a gaping hole in the carpet. if the carpet has the longer fibers, then after you cut out the spot, find an inconspicuous part of the carpet (in the closet) and gently cut a few fibers; then with clear glue, tap the cut fibers into the space you cut out.
Reply:You will want to test this in a corner of a closet first to make sure it will not damage or discolor your carpet fibers but, I think it will solve your problem.Try using acetone or nail tip remover.It's available at beauty supply stores%26amp; retail stores such as Walmart.Afterwards wash the spot with laundry detergent or a dish liquid that's not antibacterial as you don't want to mix chemicals.

"Jak cie masz" is incorrect. The correct phrase is "jak się masz?" which means "how are you?"

In response, you can say, "Dzięki, bardzo dobrze" ("Thanks, very good"), or "Dobrze. A jak tam u Ciebie?" ("Good. And how's everything with you?")

Polish Divorce?

2009-08-03T03:06:00.001-07:00

A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.

Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well until

one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him.

The lawyer said that getting a divorce could depend on the circumstances,

and asked him the following questions:

"Have you any grounds"?

"Yes, an acre and half and nice little home".

"No, I meant what is the foundation of this case"?

It's made of concrete "I don't think you understand. Does either of you

have a real grudge"?

"No, we have carport, and not need one".

I mean, what are your relations like?

"All my relations still in Poland".

"Is there any infidelity in your marriage"?

"We have hi-fidelity stereo and good DVD player".

"Does your wife beat you up"?

"No, I always up before her".

"Is your wife a ******"?

"No, she white".

"Why do you want this divorce"?

"She going to kill me".

"What makes you think that"?

"I got proof".

"What kind of proof"?

"She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at drugstore and put on shelf in

bathroom. I can read, and it say: "Polish Remover"

Reply:Your objective is to improve your knowledge of the language. The objective of children’s books is very different, and improving language knowledge is often of minor importance. Children’s books assume native knowledge of the language and can wander off into trendy colloquialisms that even a native adult may not understand.

Polish requires a strong grammatical discipline, and I would recommend using structured adult teaching texts, which include notes on vocabulary, grammar and stretching concepts. I have in mind the “old-fashioned” language textbooks I used at school – they worked wonders for me both in school and when self-teaching other languages later. Then, as soon as you can, move to reading newspapers or magazines, which in all languages are written in an accessible manner, without too much abstruse vocabulary.

There appears to be a textbook of this type at: http://www.bookcity.pl/5994/We_Learn_Pol...

Can you wear too much nail polish?

2009-08-03T03:05:00.002-07:00

Is it weird that I always wear nail polish?

I don't like my fingernails (or toenails, for that matter) if they're unpolished -- my fingernails are somewhat yellowish in hue, maybe because I don't drink milk or get enough vitamins (not sure why, but I'm not anemic) or just wear nail polish too often. I don't know . . . I just feel more put together if I wear nail polish, like the rest of me can look like a mess but as long as my nails are done, it's okay.

I usually wear a really light and somewhat inconspicuous pink polish, at least on my fingers, like one of these: www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.j...

www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail...

Do you find it weird that I always have to have nail polish on? I've never spent money on a manicure (I always do my nails myself) but I don't think that I've worn my nails bare since last summer at the least.

(If the above links aren't working, see my other question here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Can you wear too much nail polish?
im like you, i am ALWAYS painting my nails!!!!!!! im pretty good at it actually...lol anyways. having polish on your nails is what makes them turn yellow. we should probably stop polishing so often...SO HARD!!! i ♥ my nail polish!!
Reply:It depends. Usually dark or red nail polish will leave a yellow hue when you take it off.
Reply:yes you can wear too much nail polish. like when your nails actually start to change colors or when you get blotches under your nails that is when you know that you need to take a break. i had to learn that lesson the hard way. lol
Reply:It's no problem that you always wear nail polish. One of my friends always has to have lipstick on - even when going to bed. I tell her she's weird, but whatever makes her happy....
Reply:your question reminded me of this clip of kat williams.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtaIqvKvW...

funny as hell. hope this helps you get some perspective on the situation.
Reply:yes
Reply:No, it's not weird. I love nail polish, I always wear a clear coat, and on the weekends, I wear a shimmery pink, because they won't let us wear polish at school. I can't see your hue cuz your link isn't working. That's fine as long as you keep them clean.
Reply:No. My LA teacher gets hers done weekly and actually got them done right before she went into labor. I still dont find that weird. Its a girl thing; its understandable. Thats a really cute pink! And you cna only wear too much if its on freakishly long nails.

Polish Advertising In Britain?

2009-08-03T03:05:00.000-07:00

Was driving through the lovely People's Republic of Newham the other week and was somewhat surprised to see some of the adverts on the bus shelters were in Polish. Can someone tell me why we are we permitting exclusively Polish advertising in Britain? Is this not detrimental to the ability of immigrants to integrate with the indigenous communities in this country?

Polish Advertising In Britain?
Lol in Caerphilly Miners' Hospital there are posters on the walls in Polish

(apparently advertising Polish-only Ante Natal and Mother and Baby classes according to one of the midwives who was as amused by it as I was)

Now in Wales we are used to having Bilingual Welsh/English posters but POLISH?!

So much for "its only single young people coming here to work for a few years and then going home" if they need ante natal classes in Polish!
Reply:You can find adverts written in English language in Poland.

As far as the ability of immigrants to integrate is concerned, take a look at this link, it's a site for Brits in Poland.

http://expats-in-poland.com/

On the forums many are seeking expat English nationals for meetings, socialising etc

That will give you some idea of the none existent effort many of the English make to integrate with The Poles.

It is just the same as many of the Brits in Spain. They start their own little communities because they are too lazy to learn the language and integrate.

Perhaps this is just the case that some of the English don't want to accept the Poles in the UK.

By the way I'm English, living in Poland. I did take the trouble to learn the language. It's the same all over the world if you have a go at speaking the language, most nations will respect you for it and be happy to accept you into their community. Perhaps one exception to the rule is the UK where some people tend to think they are better than the rest.
Reply:So what about English advertising in Spain? You see it everywhere.
Reply:I agree with Mr Sceptic %26amp; think you are nothing short of being a racist. The Polish community in Edinburgh is huge. I have Polish friends now. I have no problems with advertisements in Polish, or anything else Polish for that matter. Good luck to all my Polish friends!

Xenophobes attract Xenophobes as I have seen from some of the answers to your question.
Reply:god i wish britain would leave the EU so we could kick them all out
Reply:I understand your opinion entirely and have to agree. Lets hope the advert flops and the company that used it learn from it.
Reply:Where's Newham. Is it middleclass. You don't want to

know the reply I've just cancelled.
Reply:So you are saying that advertising in a language other than English should not be allowed?

All immigrants should learn to speak English as soon as they can - it is impossible to function in UK without a working knowledge of English.

But not permitting advertising in other languages? I think you're taking things a bit too far.
Reply:I personally don't have much of a problem with Polish people coming to the UK to work. The trouble is there seems to be so many of them.

I think they should learn to speak English as best they can, and most of them do try to be honest. Having advertising exclusively in Polish is just a sign that things are changing... and people don't like change.

But you can't blame the advertisers. If they are targeting a specific audience then they will do that. Although it would be nice to see some adverts with a mixture of the two languages.

The guy who answered first may have 5 thumbs down, and counting, but he does have a point. Why do we have to be so stuck up that we can't accept foreign people into our country, and when they do come we demand them to learn our language... The Americans are having the exact same debate about the Hispanic invasion, but it's true that some of them (a minority I admit) are embracing the changes and using it as an excuse to learn Spanish.

I must admit I've never thought about the prospect of learning Polish before, but something tells me it might become a handy skill to have in a few years time.

The fact is, these guys are coming here and doing the jobs we won't do becasue we're too lazy... I hate these pikey's on the telly who stand there and say "Deyz're cummin over 'ere an nickin' all r jobz innit bruv" but if you asked that guy wether he has actually gone out and applied for a plumbing job or even picked up a hammer in his life he'll say "aaahh nahh my only job is getting up early once a week to stand in the dole queue"... So some of us should be thankful for the presence of our European friends.

My only concern is not for the state of Britain, but of Poland. In coming here to work in droves, they are leaving behind work in Poland that needs doing and they are running out of people to do it.
Reply:s
Reply:What, Mr Sheen and such?
Reply:They should learn English.
Reply:I see your point and agree to some extent, I do not like to see foreign advertising but it doesn't bother me. I agree that immigrants should be encouraged to learn and speak English . When I was living in Germany I learnt the language and got a lot of reward for it, the locals were very supportive in my first few months, the shameful thing to me was they all spoke very good English.

One thing we should consider though is our behaviour in non English speaking countries, I have observed English holiday makers behaving absolutely appallingly because the locals could not understand them, perhaps we as a nation should look at our own behaviour abroad before judging others.

Personally I have no problem with Polish nationals and this country owes them a lot, we seriously let them down in the last war when we failed to fulfil our promise to them.

Generally I agree with what you are saying, but I drove past a sign yesterday that was in French, now they are a people I have a problem with.
Reply:Surely the answer is to put adverts on poles, like those socialist 'park for for seven hours in your own street' poles and get the Poles to opress the native English who complain?

Fast
Reply:It sounds like the USA with ads in both English and Spanish for the same item!! maybe they ought to learn English and assimilate in your culture!?
Reply:Lets address the situation.

The birth rate in the UK is now 1.4 children per family. This is not enough to sustain people to work and pay the the ever expanding OAP population. Therefore we should thank the Poles for coming over and assisting us in our time of crisis.

The other alternative is for our people of this nation to breed more.

The more important question is, "When Germany opens its borders to the Poles and they leave our great country who is going to work and pay our OAP's pensions then"?
Reply:Maybe you should learn Polish. Every intelligent person in America already speaks spanish.

Polish something: Magellonian?

2009-08-03T03:04:00.002-07:00

What is Magellonian? They're Polish and they're some kind of group. What do they do? What's their history? What does the name mean? A lot of people wear their shirts, they're dark blue or red with white letting saying Magellonian across a circle with Polish on the outside of it.

Polish something: Magellonian?
Could it be Jagiellonian? That's the name of a famous Polish University in Krakow, and the university seal is dark blue. The name is sometimes spelled Jagellonian, without an "i" after the g. Here's their web site, see if anything looks familiar:

It's also the name of one of Poland's ruling families from the middle ages.

Polish Events?

I'm looking for a website that will let me know whats going on where in the Polish community....I want to know where Polish events are taking place...can anyone please help me with this...thx

Polish Events?
Where do you live? We can't answer this without at least a country name, if not a specific city.

That said... look up the Polish embassy for your country. The Polish embassy in Canada has lists of events and Polish community groups for each province and territory. I'm sure you can find something similar where you live.
Reply:most ethnic groups have their own organizations

if you are in the U S then go to a search engine (Yahoo! is good) and type Polish and the name of your city

and that will probably bring up events as well as any Polish organizations that are there

also, you can do this with cities you simply wish to go to (if you are like me you go different places to go to these events, even out of the country)

and the online Yellow Pages use them...put in Polish and it will probably give you names and phone numbers of Polish organizations, who in turn can tell you where and when events are

I would also check cities that have large Polish populations

I have been to a few Polish festivals and they are fun, the people were nice, and the food is excellent

good luck

Polish road signs in the UK ?

2009-08-03T03:04:00.000-07:00

It was in the news today that a local authority have put up road signs in Polish to help Polish migrants.

If they are coming to live in this country why can't they learn English? Is this just another

example of barmy councils bending over backwards for the needs of a few and ignoring the majority?

What do you think about it?

Polish road signs in the UK ?
Probably like alot of people I work with many Polish and find them to be hard working and I think they are very welcome here.

It is totally unnecessary to have roadsigns in Polish as those that have come to live here almost always are very good at speaking and reading English. Those that aren't can soon learn the few words that are used on road signs.
Reply:In my country, we've got everything for British people... English named restaurants, pubs, road signs... And nobody complains about it coz we're very helpfull to tourists. We don't want them to get confused when they come over here.We want them to have a good time and enjoy... I don't say they have to speak my language if they wanna come here!! They can even buy their own land and put their own flag up to their roof... Noone complains coz we're indulgent... We like to help them... Those people coming to your country to earn money and look after their family. Unless i know wrong, they work really hard maybe 24 hours a day... So how do you think they will find a time to sit down and learn English. But don't worry they will speak in English at the end coz they live with English people...Don't get too upset, i can understand your concern about it.. . Don't be so touchy.. It's just a help to other people...Everybody has a right to speak their own language.. You can't say they have to speak yours... that's not fair. But still at the end, you end up learning the language coz you have got to communicate with other people. when you go out shopping, when you need to ask something...etc..
Reply:I work with polish drivers but I don't think they should change opr add to our road signs, because there is loads of different people %26amp; cultures in this country, we can't cater for Romanion, Polish, French, German, African etc. etc.

They need to learn the lingo of the counrty there in!

If don't like it then they can go home!
Reply:In France, where I live, there are numerous road signs in English - especially in the areas near Channel ports - reminding drivers to keep right and warning of other hazards. We don't hear British visitors ranting about 'political correctness'. Oh no, that's different, isn't it?
Reply:Barmy Council. Most of them are just potty, and filled with PC do-gooders. Many Ukrainians came to live in and around Derby during the war. Derby library was still filled with Ukrainian books in 1971 when I last lived there. You are right; immigrants should learn English, and councils should start concentrating on real issues.
Reply:THIS PATHETIC COUNTRY dont get me started - I AGREE ANYONE WHO SHOULD COME HERE FROM ABROAD SHOULD LEARN OUR LANGUAGE OUR LAWS AND OUR CULTURE AND ABIDE BY BRITISH LAW- and no we shouldnt bend over backwrds for them - . if we went to a foreign country would there be NO exception for us, I cant see France or spain doing this can you for other countrys driving here . we would need to abide by their laws and their culture and their rules regardless of who they are in terms of war allies. If they cant understand our language or the road signs they shouldnt be on the road ........aggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh have the council not got anything better to spend the tax payers money on - ??? AND PLEASE PAUL B quit with the political speil.....!the war was 60 years ago, what has that got to do with road signs YAWN
Reply:Hey, we go to any furking foreign country we have to learn the lingo or get lost. Same should apply here.

I mean look at France. Their road signs are almost non-existent anyway, are they bilingual? Are they buggery!
Reply:ENGLISH ROAD SIGNS ONLY. No to road signs in any language other than English. If the Poles (and all other scroungers) work illegally or legally in the UK, then learn the bloody language. If they don't like, then go back to Poland. It's a disgrace that a far left of left wing council would even dream of spending the tax payers money in such a frivoulous way, when it's clearly needed elsewhere - health perhaps? Hopefully, some one will rip the signs down. When In Rome, and all that.
Reply:other non english speaking countries has english translated road signs for tourists and for english speaking people.. uk is not the only country!! why is it so big problem.. it didnt bother other people.. be open new things
Reply:next time you go to spain are you gonna learn spanish?

when my polish grandad was a teen he was told if he didnt join the german army then his family would be killed. he had no choice, he has not seen or heard from his family in poland since that day.

when he got over here he led a group of lads and men and snuck over to the english trenches in the night with white flags and their hands up and crying. they took with them maps and plans from the german army. 2 of his friends were shot on the way and 2 others turned back as they were too scared.

he has stayed in this country ever since and will not return home as he has no home back in poland. he wont talk about the war.

he speaks perfect english, german, italian and of course polish.

how many of you can say you are fluent in 4 languages? he is a very proud man and rarely speaks anything other than english. he doesnt need polish signs but i'm sure he would appreciate them for the other polish that have not learnt the language yet.

he has just celebrated his 80th birthday and now needs an operation on his heart or he will die. he has already had 2 triple heart bypasses, the last was 10 years ago.

i am so proud of him for being so brave and having the guts to do the right thing. if he had not switched sides then i would not be here.

the polish come here to work, not as refugees or trying to get a free houseand money for all their families. they come here as skilled workers and are headhunted in poland.

again get all your facts right before condemning them.
Reply:its crap isnt it

but yes its more political corectness gone mad

they should either know english or not come
Reply:Political correctness gone mad. This is not about racisium or discrimination. If you go to live in America, New Zealand and no doubt many other countries you must take one of their tests within a limited period of time if you want to drive on their roads. Why in this country when councils constantly complain about lack of funds do we spend money on Polish signs when we should be making the Poles take a UK driving test.
Reply:I have nothing against the Poles but this news report worried me because it brought to light the fact that there are people in this country who cannot read road signs. I have visions of a forest of road signs in all the languages that are spoken in this country, ruining the view and probably causing a hell of a lot of accidents. There will obviously be pressure from other ethnic groups for the same service, you just know it. Mind how you go.
Reply:You say you read this in the "news". Was it actually a newspaper or one of those comics (like The Sun)? I bet anything that when the dust settles this will have been a storm in a tea cup.

Still, it gives all the racist little twerps on Answers yet another wonderful opportunity to indulge their tiny little brains in another droning session. Which "paper" was it?

Storm in a tea cup folks!
Reply:Likely to be an "urban myth". What "official" roadsigns can show is set out in law. English in England; bilingual in Wales and who knows what its Scotland? :-)
Reply:It's not for immigrants, it's for Polish lorry drivers trying to find the way to Holyhead. How does this spoil your life, then? Why do you, as a majority, feel ignored? Have they abolished English?

I take it that when you travel to Wales you don't expect dual signing on the roads, or have you been bothered to learn Welsh?

I think it's a sensible idea if it makes the roads a little safer, and if it pisses off racists and little Englanders, then that's an added bonus.
Reply:The reason supporting the use of a handful of temporary road signs was also explained. In recent months Polish drivers have driven past English closure signs causing chaos on busy road re-construction sites whilst also putting the workforce at risk. The cost to the taxpayer due to the lost time alone makes it well worth putting out a handful of signs. If a road worker was to be killed in such an incident the cost to society would be massive. No question that the County Council did the right thing. Other highway authorities should take note.
Reply:So is it really for Polish migrants or Polish lorry drivers? Pity you didn't give a web address where we could check it out for ourselves.

Having said that, in parts of Tower Hamlets the roadsigns are in English and Bengali; and the Bangladeshis have lived here for forty years. In fact the majority were born here.
Reply:i think you got a point.
Reply:I agree that anyone wishing to live here should at least learn the lingo
Reply:Well this shows how dim people can be, because ALL European road-signs have a standard format if they are related to specific warnings or instructions, and they can be understood internationally.

This means that any "Polish road-signs" would have to be additional ones for specific purposes, such as may be found at docks, where trucks have to enter specific areas, go into specific lanes of traffic or follow quite complex instructions. In such cases, it is quite common to find signs written also in French and German, alongside English, which are the three other principal langauges of the EU. Because Polish is a Slavic language, it will be understood by Czech, Slovaks, Hungarians, Poles, Croatians, Bosnians, Albanians and people from other countries also.

That said, there are certain road-signs which are not restricted to symbols alone, but use words, and these can be very difficult for foreign-drivers. Where there is a high concentration of foreign-drivers such as at docks, airports and industrial areas, anything which assists traffic-flow and safety is a good thing, not a bad one.

There is now a very high volume of traffic moving backwards and forwards to and from the EU, and anything which assists that process is entirely welcome.

Perhaps the questioner should take the time to read better-quality journalism and learn the INTERNATIONALLY AGREED road-sign symbols, before accusing anyone of anything.
Reply:It does seem strange. However if it prevents accidents or makes our lives easier then it can't all be bad.

People should learn the language of the country where they live/work. However maybe it's all to easy for us to say since we are lucky that English is such a widely spoken language.

Going back many years places of interest around the world had erect signs written in English for holiday makers and foreign workers.

In Wales and place in Ireland they have signs written in different languages. Likewise on the borders of some European countries.

It is a blame on the local authorities for proving so much help that there is no real need to learn english. Having said that anger should be directed towards our leaders and councils, not the poor Polish Truck Driver who's trying to earn his bread.
Reply:its a forking joke i wish they would fork off back to their dirty country
Reply:i fear they might say some day to us to learn polish.........its realy stupid...do in rome as roman does...so if any one wants to live in enland(uk) should learn english
Reply:This country is English. Our language is English. Our road signs should be in English. If people want to come to this country for our freebies the least they can do is learn to speak, read %26amp; write in English. Is it too much to ask?
Reply:It is sooooooooooooooo stupid of our country - I'm fine with Gaelic etc but these are our languges. I cannot believe we are going to spend more tax on these people. It's really awful. Either they speak English and read it or they shouldn't be in this country. We are far tooooo soft.

Reply:BIGOS (From A Secret Family Recipe)

One 33 ounce jar of Sauerkraut

One Savoy Cabbage

Two pounds beef

Two pounds pork

One pound of “breakfast” sausage links

½ pound smoked bacon

One pound Kielbasa

One onion

One SMALL can of Tomato paste or sauce

3 to 5 Bay Leaves

salt, pepper, oil, sugar, allspice

First, get a jar of Polonaise Sauerkraut and a pound of kielbasa. Don’t use watered down sauerkraut that comes in a plastic sack with lots of water and vinegar. The final product is only as good as the best ingredients you can get. Then, get the best beef and pork with a minimum of fat. Cut off all that you can before cooking. Get a half pound of thick sliced bacon. If you cannot find a Savoy cabbage a regular cabbage works just fine. Start by getting a large pot of water boiling. Add the sauerkraut. Let it bubble away. Cut up the beef and pork into little fork size squares and brown. Generally this takes two frying pans (one each for beef and one each for pork). Season with secret herbs and spices. Grate the cabbage. Throw it into the boiling pot. Chop up the onion and in it goes too. When the beef and pork is browned. Pour both in the pot. Drippings and all. Cut the kielbasa into short pieces and sear in one of the frying pans. The searing keeps kielbasa from mushing up when it spends a lot of time in hot water. When seared, into the pot it goes. Cut all the bacon, except one slice, into half inch long pieces and fry. Drain off the extra fat as necessary. When the bacon is done eat the single strip and throw the pieces in the pot. It’s ok to cook the sausage in the same frying pan with the bacon. Little chunks, any size. Add a little (teaspoon full) of salt, a half teaspoon of pepper (go light on this), one eighth cup sugar, and the bay leaves to the pot. And here’s the final touch. Dump in a SMALL can of tomato paste or tomato sauce. Stir. Add water as necessary. Cook at low heat. They call this simmer. The longer it simmers, the better it gets. Leftovers can be frozen and thawed. Or you can just store in the refrigerator and reheat through the week
Reply:I have a lot of Polish friends and have been cooking a fair bit of Polish food recently!

here's a couple for you

Simple Bigos

1 jar Saurkraut

half a white cabbage, chopped finely

12 juniper berries

1 packet of porcini mushrooms

4 bay leaves

1 teaspoon of tomato puree

1 pint of vegetable stock

you can also add meat if you like, polish sausage, bacon or ham is best.

Soak the muchrooms for 20 minutes. Add the liquor from them to the stock, Chop the mushrooms. Wash and drain the sourkraut and place it in a large pan with the white cabbage and mushrooms, mix the tomato puree into the stock and add it to the pan, and add the juniper berries and bay leaves

let it all simmer for at least an hour and a half, it can be eaten after this time .However, Bigos is ment to be cooked and reheated. It is not uncommon for it to be at it's best at 4th or sixth day of reheating. You should store it in the frige between reheating. It is delicious served with crusty bread.

Little Pigeons (I can't remember the Polish name for this- somebody help me!)

for the sauce

3 cans of tinned tomatos or chopped tomatos

butter and salt. Easy to make, put the tomatos into a pan with some salt and butter let it simmer for around 30 minutes.

for the pigeons

1 pound lean beef or pork mince

1 quarter of a white cabbage

quarter of a jar of sourkraut

1 large leaf cabbage (something like sweetheart or a large green cabbage)

break off several large cabbage leaves, one per person at least. Wash them and boil them until they are soft/ Drain them and leave them to cool

Chop the white cabbage and gently fry it with the meat- when it's done add the sourkraut and let it gently cook for another 10 minutes.

spoon the mixture into the cabbage leaves and wrap them into little parcels. This is where the name "little pigeons" probably comes from because the pattern on the leaves kind of resemble the ribcage of a tiny bird

put your pigeons into an ovenproof dish and pour over a generous amount of tomato sauce- cover the dish, allow them to cook for a further 35 minutes. You can serve them with potatos with sorrel or chopped dill.
Reply:kapusta

boil sauerkraut for about an hour and drain in a strainer well. this is to reduce the strength of the vinegar...

next, grill a sliced onion in butter and olive oil. add cut up pieces of smoked polish sausage and cut-up boiled polish sausage and pan fry for a couple of minutes...

add sauerkraut to pan and mix it all together. salt and pepper to taste. add four bay leaves.

put in baking pan and heat in oven at 350 for 45 minutes...

it is excellent hot out of the oven, but it is even better the next day...

oh, don't forget to remove the bay leaves when it comes out of the oven because you can't ingest them...they are easy to find...

Polish joke?

2009-08-03T03:03:00.002-07:00

an american, a mexican, and a polish guy all went to a lodge for some hunting. the american goes out and 10 mins later he comes back with a rabbit the other two go "wow how did you get that"? he says "me see tracks, me follow tracks, boom me get rabbit" now the mexican goes out and in 10 mins he comes back with a deer and the other 2 go "wow how did you get that"? and he answers "me see tracks, me follow tracks, boom me get deer" so finally the polish dude goes out and about 30 mins later he comes back all bloody and beat up with no animal and the other 2 ask "what happened"? he says "me see tracks, me follow tracks, boom me get hit by train"

%26gt;%26gt;A Polish man moved to the USA and married an American girl.

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;Although his English was far from perfect, they got along very well

%26gt;%26gt;until

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a

%26gt;%26gt;for him.

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;The lawyer said that getting a divorce would depend on the

%26gt;%26gt;circumstances,

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;and asked him the following questions:

%26gt;%26gt;No, we have street parking, and not need one.

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;I mean. What are your relations like? - All my relations still in

%26gt;%26gt;Poland.

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;Is there any infidelity in your marriage? - We have hi-fidelity

%26gt;%26gt;stereo

%26gt;%26gt;Hi-fi

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;Does your wife beat you? - yes, she always beat me to the shower

%26gt;%26gt;evry

%26gt;%26gt;morning.

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;Is your wife a ******? - No, she white.

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;Why do you want this divorce? - She going to kill me.

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;

%26gt;%26gt;What makes you think that? - I got proof.

%26gt;%26gt;

Polishing and waxing my truck....What is the best way to polish my truck.....I have hard water spots on it and
Use a soft dry towel.
Reply:Use Mr.Clean washer it has a sheeting and filtering system to get rid of water spots. Works great on solid black Nissan
Reply:After waxing ( I use McGuires %26amp; its great.) turn your spray nozzle to where its almost a misting spray...then use a Chamise (sp?) to dry it off. Also dotn wax with direct sunlight it can cause the water/wx to dry faster causing waterspots.
Reply:Glad that you take pride in what you drive! First of all, you can polish all you want but they wont get the spots actually off. They just get covered up but stay there until the polish wears off. Your best bet is to get a "cleaner" car wax paste that's safe for your paint and a lambs wool pad. Apply the wax or polish cleaner with this pad to take these water spots off. The cleaner is a mild abrasive that works well with the wool pad when applied. After it dries to a haze, test a spot with a clean terry cloth to see how it did. Take the cleaner off then polish and wax as you like! Good Luck!!:%26gt;)

Polish or Slovak easier?

2009-08-03T03:02:00.003-07:00

I studied Russian in college and really enjoyed it except for the Cyrillic alphabet.

I was wondering since I enjoyed the grammar and pronunciation of Russian BUT HATED the cyrillic alphabet if I may just enjoy Polish or Slovak as they are roman alphabet.

How close is Polish and Slovak to Russian in grammar, snytax and all the rest?

My goal is personal enrichment and not fluency but it would be really great to have fluency in a Slavic langugage.

Thanks to those who answer.

Polish or Slovak easier?
All of them are Slavonic languages so they are similar although there are also many differences. I think if you know Russian you will be able to learn Polish or Slovak easy. Good Luck!
Reply:Well there are certainly more people around the world who speak Polish...but Slovak is very close to czech..up until 1989 it was considered on langauge without the need for the translators they have today. I live in Poland and many people here seem to think they can understand and or speak both czech and russian. I tested this theory one on an airplane with a russian guy who couldnt fil out his customs form or even say what he wanted ot drink in english..since I think I can almost speak Polish I should almost be able to speak russian too right..well, it worked okay..maybe he had to understand me cause no one else would talk/help him.

I dunno but I think the spelling might be easier in Polish its really difficult but its very phonetic and the sound to me is closer to russian whereas czech seems sorter..
Reply:polish is pretty hard too learn i mean like all those rules well i speak polish so i know but Slovak i don't know..i would pick polish u don't have too know everything

Polish Recipes?

My husband is part Polish and I would like to surprise him with some authentic Polish dishes. I do need to keep the cost down, so something simple and not too expensive...Thanks.

Polish Recipes?
I like to make polish sausage and with it I serve a cabbage dish, I cant remember the name if it, but here is how i make it.

I chop one head of cabbage into bite size pieces. I cook until soft in a stick of butter and a couple of chopped up bacon slices. While that is cooking I make a pasta recipe. Just look in any cookbook. Its basically flour, eggs a little oil and water and salt. Drop small pieces of the dough in boiling salted water. After they float to the top, wait about one min and remove with slotted spoon. Add this to the cooked cabbage and mix it all in. Add salt and pepper. Serve this with the sausage.
Reply:Perogies, polish sausage and sauerkraut, cabbage rolls stuffed with grd. beef and rice. I would have to get my grandmother cook book out to give more.You can find these recipes online.
Reply:I am part Polish as well and my favorite polish dish takes a bit of work but definitely keeps the cost down while keeping you full. They are called pirogis. You take dough roll it into about seven inches in diameter put mashed potatoes in the center then fold the dough over into a half moon shape. Pinch the sides closed and then boil them until they surface. You can put bacon, sauerkraut, cheese, sausage or any number of things mixed in with the potatoes. They are sooo yummy.

It is not easy when writing, (not speaking,) to tell you how to pronounce it, regardless of what language I use.

You could change its name to something else, the dog will get use to a new name. Dogs don't really know what their name is. I have called my Mom's dog several different names and it will come to me no matter what name I use to show her that dogs don't know what their name is. If you have a bowl of food in your hand, the dog doesn't care what you call it! Seriously, I have tried it with several dogs, and so far every one of them responds no matter what name I use. Try it, you will see I am right!!

I think you should call it "Devski" nice Polish name, don't ya think? Or how about "Jurkoffski"?

What nail polish is your favorite?

2009-08-03T03:01:00.000-07:00

The ones that I've tried that work the best are the Chanel nail polish colors and the Sally Hansen 10-day nail polish. So, are there any suggestions on nail polish colors that last a long time? My favorite for colors is N.Y.C, but it chips easily...so i guess i want to know one that doesn't chip and comes in lots of colors that are fun..

What nail polish is your favorite?
OPI is the best ( to me ) and it last a long time as well ...they even have a chip proof top coat you can apply as well and as for colors .....I don't know of anyone else that has so many different colors to choose from. If you go to their website you can click on try on and this hand comes up and you choose a color and it paints the nails so you get a better idea of how well the colors look on your hand verses just looking at the bottle. And most nice salons carry this brand as well....

Hope this is helpful ~~~

Have fun with this website there are sooo many colors to play with ~~~
Reply:Dont use anything NYC! Its the worst make-up brand out there! I'v never tried Chanel but have heard its good. The best i have tried is MAC polish's! They have great colors and it will not chip for the longest time!

Reply:covergirl and wet n' wild are good for colors...

but i choose to wear the cheap glitter brands. =)

you cant mess up glitter - it's a known fact. slap on as much glitter as you want, and it still looks cute.

i know it sounds like a fifth grade glam tip, but i love to use glitter on my nails. i dont wear a crap-load on my lids, so i think it evens out. =P
Reply:i have one bottle of sally hansen silver nail polish, and it's great, it dries really fast too. the other ones by her last a while too, especially if you use a base and top coat.
Reply:ALL nail polish chip on me, so i don't bother spending my money on overpriced pieces of $#!T. i just buy N.Y.C. / wet n wild / revlon / other drugstore brands.
Reply:I used to think OPI was the best until I tried Essie. My favorite is Essie "Ballet Slippers" for my nails. My favorite for my toes is Chanel "Vamp"

Colours are amazing, lasts forever, and the brush is perfect.

Ingested nail polish?

2009-08-03T03:00:00.002-07:00

Ok so Ive ingested bottles of nail polish..I know Ive ingested atleast 100..Im always craving it, probably because of my Pica, but Im always nervous and twitchy/shakey..do you think its because of the nail polish..? What are the dangers of ingesting it? And where should I go from here.. ? I dont want my stomach pumped, and if I tell my mum shell probably get pissed off at me and will complain bout me wastin her work time..so thats most the reason I havent told her that I cant stop yet {[{Ive told her that I TASTED nail polish once and she got mad but I havent told her bout the bottles}]} another reason is that Im afraid I cant stop drinking it..so..yeah..

Ingested nail polish?
hun you really needa call posin controll or 911 ingesting nail polish is very dangrous. I wont go into more details cause I dont wanna scare you,
Reply:you could DIE no kidding call 911 or poison control right now !!! would you rather get yelled at and get ur stomache pumped or die ... ur choice!
Reply:You may be addicted from the fumes of the polish so I would suggest finding something else to eat. Really I'm sure there is something other than nail polish to drink/eat, and keep some of your favorites (chocolate, ice cream, etc.) around to prevent you from thinking about the nail polish. Try to keep the nail polish in a public area of the house so you will be less likely to eat it, and CALL POISON CONTROL, and keep something like ipecac around. I would altogether just get rid of it. The chemicals are very bad for the stomach.
Reply:there is a pretty good chance some of those contain lead too!!!

How do I apply nail polish best (what are your secrets on it)?

2009-08-03T03:00:00.001-07:00

I need tips on applying nail polish neatly without streaks and clumpy gluggy looking bits on it and so it can last longer.

I bought french polish set and it comes with the orange stick, rosy polish, white polish, clear polish and the stencil stickers.. and tips on that too thanks.

How do I apply nail polish best (what are your secrets on it)?
Choose a nail polish in a color of your choice.

Make sure to have your cottonballs, nail polish remover (acetone), towel, newspaper, and clear nail polish.

Paint your nails in a well-ventilated room. The fumes can be extremely dangerous to your health.

Do not Shake the nail polish bottle as this will cause bubbles. Instead roll the bottle between your hands to warm it up. Open it, and scrape some of the excess nail polish off.

Paint one stripe in the middle. Then, paint a stripe on the left, continuing to the right.

Apply one coat of clear nail polish (base and top coat works best). Let it dry.

Apply your first coat of color to your nails, using only three strokes per finger and painting in an upward motion. Don't worry if it looks too thin. It's supposed to. Let it dry -- if it's even a little sticky, the next coat won't go on.

Apply your second coat of color to your nails. Let it dry.

Apply a last coat of clear nail polish to keep the color lasting for at least 1 more week!

TIPS:

Keep nail polish in the refrigerator. This will keep it from clumping and make it last longer.

If your nail polish clumps up on your nail, remove it with the nail polish remover. If the nail polish is old, roll it between your hands to warm it up. Then, if clumping continues, throw it out. Get a new nail polish.

When painting, keep the coats very thin!

When you mess up, don't stress up! Simply wipe it off with toilet paper and remove all the polish with nail polish remover to get the stuff that the toilet paper missed.

Remember that the top coat is the one everyone will see, and the one that you'll feel. Keep that coat smooth!

If you want sort-of a cool looking texture, wait until the coat is dry enough that you can make fingerprints on it, but not have to clean any off your finger. Then put your finger on it and it will make a finger print! It looks kind of neat from close up.

Run your nails under water after painting. This will give you the chance to feel any bumps without ruining the coat.

If you are in a hurry, use a hair dryer to dry your nails!

If you mess up, get an edge on a piece of toilet paper and gently wipe it off.

Use sparkly and shiny colors! This will get your fingers noticed and you will love it the most!

Don't be afraid to put on stickers or fake gems!

If you don't have the patience to let your nails dry, sit still, wave your arms around like crazy, or watch a movie so that you are busy while your nails dry!

Don't paint on a washcloth; it will make it dirty; use a piece of notebook paper.

If your nails keep breaking and the nail polish makes them look gross, buy some nail hardening fluid (this can be found in the makeup section of drugstores and chemist shops) which you apply before the nail polish. It will make your nails nice and strong so they look long and pretty when painted.
Reply:.... put a little bit of nail polish remover in the bottle... my mums a nail tech... just a tiny little bit... like a drop. this stops all clumps and helps stop streaks. :) also dont buy elcheapo nail polish.... go the good brands you know of. :) they always work best.

With the french set. make sure you let each layer dry... make sure its REALLY dry before taking the sticker off... :)
Reply:Practise applying it with a dark colour 1st because then you can see where your mistakes are.

Ok 1st you need to apply a base coat. It helps the nail polish go on smoother and protects your nail.

Then you need alot of polish on the brush and start from in middle of your nail and then to the tip in 1 stroke, then 1 edge of your nail in 1 stroke, and then the other edge in 1 stroke and finally the middle of your nail again in 1 stroke. You only need to dip the brush in the polish 1 time per nail.

And after its dried add a clear vanish on top to keep the colour there and make it shiney. Hope this helps :)
Reply:Do it in three bits streak down the middle of the nail then a streak down the right side of nail and streak down left of nail, use cotton buds soaked in acetone free nail polish to remove Polish you may have dripped on skin, wait until completely dry to stop smudging and put stencil on and use color to go over tip of nail but do not go over and over as it will end up in a mess just go over tip using one stroke......if this does not work go to nail salon much more relaxing.

Are some polish men hypocrites?

2009-08-03T03:00:00.000-07:00

Not to be racist but apparently some Polish men refer to themselves as 'Polaks' as it is Polish for 'Polish man.' But they find it offensive when other people call them 'Polaks.' Is this a bit like when rappers say 'yo ma n!ga,' and when a cracker says it they try to kill him?

Are some polish men hypocrites?
If you look up Polish history, you will know that for a foreigner to call a Polish man a *Polak* meant sudden death.

*Polak* was a code word to identify Catholic Polish people who hid Jewish families during the WWII. Nazis would shout out "Polak" and the Pole in question would be shot dead, instantly, for being suspected of protecting Jews.
Reply:Are some hypocrites polish men?
Reply:I don't know but is suspect your question has something to do with what Israel Shahak would call anti-gentile racism
Reply:Every human being that's ever lived has been a hypocrite to some extent.
Reply:Probably many minorities have simliar anomalies.

Gays sometime refer to themselves as poofs, gays, homos, etc., when talking to eachother, but may take offence to it if used against them by straights.

I guess it all depends how the name is said and in what context. If it is used threateningly then of course it's an insult. But if it's used when two friends are chatting, one Pole and one non Pole, It's probably OK.
Reply:Like they can call them Polaks but if you are not Polack I think it's some insult for them. So better don't call them Polack, maybe in their language "Polack" means some offense.

When Nail Polish Remover Fails ?

2009-07-31T05:31:00.001-07:00

anyone got anyway 2 help out???? i have this gold sparkley nail polish and it like 3 years old or something. it took me 5 hours to get off! nail polish remover didnt work, so i bought new nail polish. anyone got any other ideas on how i could get it off%26gt;?

When Nail Polish Remover Fails ?
The sparkly stuff is notoriously difficult to get off, I am sorry to say.

If you don't have acrylics, try pure acetone. Soak your nails for a bit, and then take an orange stick after the sparkly stuff has softened and scrape it off with the orange stick.

Since I had acrylics when I had my run in with the gold sparkles, I ended up having to sand the stuff off with a nail file. Just use it gently, like a buffer, and be sure you stop when you get down to your natural nail (or your acrylic nail, if you have those). But try the pure acetone first, if at all possible.

Best of luck.
Reply:Off of WHAT? Your fingers?

Try a different type of acetone.
Reply:Acetone, from a beauty supplie
Reply:Let It soak in a mix of Acetone, paint thinner, and peroxide...

(with acetone being the most concentrated....the paint thinner and peroxide just deal with any weird compounds not soluble to acetone.)

10 min max, and wash your hands well and put lotion on your fingers...

(Suffice to say, we do lots of traveling on the gymnastics team and I don't exactly wake up easily. lol)

Does nail polish have an "expiration" date?

2009-07-31T05:31:00.000-07:00

While cleaning out my closet I found a shoe box full of nail polish. I haven't bought any recently so I know some of them must be at least 2 years old. Is it bad to use old nail polish and does nail polish "expire"?

Does nail polish have an "expiration" date?
Doesn't really go bad, might thicken up though. It helps when you put them in the refridgerator. Add only a tiny amount of remover.
Reply:nail polish has a life, when you first get it, it is new, and good to use. but constant use makes it old. i'd say once you have to dip the brush more than twice to get it wet enough to cover 1 finger, it needs to go. how ever its not bad for your nails unlell you peel it off, it gets so thick that when you peel it off it gets rid of the top layer of nail, making your nails weak.

ways to keep the life of your nail polish long:

1. wash the brush every once and a while to prevent dry nail polish build up

2. don't leave bottle open while painting nails(it may take a little longer but if you don't the polish on the rim drys making the lid stick)

3. wipe the rim of the bottle of to prevent sticking

4. if it starts drying out add a few drops of water, mix thuroughly, and shake, to add moisture
Reply:They will thicken over time. But, before i would put remover in it to thin it out, I would go to a beauty supply store because they sell a thinner and it is cheap. It works better that polish remover because it help the polish keep it shine. This product also takes just a few drops.
Reply:it doesn't have an expiration date, but check for yourself, cause after a while it can get really sticky and gooey.
Reply:no nail polish dont expire but to keep it you must shake it well then put just a little remover in it to bring it back
Reply:It does, but yours should be ok, open the bottle and if the polish is thick and goopy even after shaking it, then it is expired, you'll also notice if you can't really smooth it out when polishing your nails, and it's just goes on thick and gunky. But depednding on the brand it should still be ok, just try and paint one nail with it and you'll be able to tell. If it's a little gunky try putting a little bit of nail polish remover in it and shaking it up that will also help and you will be able to get a few more uses out of it. Good Luck!
Reply:here in the u.s. nail polish doesn`t have an expiration date, but after 2 years it`s possible that the polish will be a little thick %26amp; difficult to use...my suggestion is to pitch it %26amp; start over with new polish!!!...in some other countries, nail polish bottles usually have the date the polish was manufactured %26amp; an expiration date, which i think they should start doing here!!!

I put martin&co guitar polish for fine wood, i asked a question if it was right for my black glossy finish....

2009-07-31T05:30:00.003-07:00

and someone said they had 14 years of experience and that I shouldnt put on that polish because it will leave wax and soon make my guitar's black glossy finish dull. I asked her what to do because I already applied it to my precious gibson flying v and I dont know what to do but she didnt reply to the email i sent her. This is her answer

"youre actually better off not using polish at all. buy a micro-fiber cloth. it will lift all the oil and residue off of your finish without scratching. adding polish meant for wood finish on a painted gloss finish will leave behind wax and other traces of the polish, and that will accumulate over time and dull your finish.

but you can use the polish for the back of the guitars neck unless it also has the black gloss finish."

Source(s):

14 years of playing the guitar and 7 years of setting up and repairing guitars.

Will someone please tell me what to do! I don't wanna ruin my $1000 guitar less than a week from when I bought it!

I put martin%26amp;co guitar polish for fine wood, i asked a question if it was right for my black glossy finish....
just don't use it any more and if you think about it it is a clear coat over the paint so you really never hit the paint it self just don't put more on use a furniture polish once in while not every day just wipe it off with a soft cloth

Clr and polishing compound to make chrome polish?
So you're willing to mix polishing abrasive with CLR. which is caustic (LYE) sink cleaner, and then rub it all over your nice chrome? Go for it. I want to see the after photos.

Go buy some Mothers or other premixed stuff.

Dark nail polish on short or long nails?

2009-07-31T05:30:00.000-07:00

i've been growing my nails - doing quite well - filing them for a square look at the top.

but...when i put black nail polish on they looked awful!!

i'm not keen on light nail polish - pinks and apricots, but i like the natural french polished look on long nails - why is this?

i've shortened them by half now and it looks much better.

Dark nail polish on short or long nails?
I think the dark polish makes the long nail look too much like a claw...something a halloween witch costume would need! Maybe it's just perception or possibly the women we see wearing dark polish on long nails..not very classy, in general, are they? I think it can make a mental image without us even knowing it.

But for me, I just like the look better...I prefer the shorter nail, squared off and then painted with either a very sheer light colour or with a dark colour. More elegant.

Besides, long nails can be difficult to manage.

Have you seen the new Navy Blue colour in nail polish? I'd heard recently black polish was out and had been replaced with the Navy (very dark) Blue. Almost looks black. It's very nice.
Reply:I would say long
Reply:Go for a dark red like rimmell's "desire" or some dark purple colours rimmell do saome great one's and they aren't expensive. Black will always look gross.
Reply:I agree, I think black nail polish looks much better on short nails and french manicure suits long nails!

This could be because black nail polish is high maintenance so in order to look good has to be applied to short, neat nails rather than long witchy nails!

Black nail polish looks so good because it goes with everything which is why I think it looks hot on anyone and why I love it! :) But I also love a good french manicure when I'm feeling girly! lol :)
Reply:Black nail polish is just wrong unless you want to look like some emo kid. Try red or dark pink.
Reply:dark nail polish makes your nails look shorter.

so put it on long nails.

or get a french mani.

in my humble opinion, those are two of the best looks for nails.
Reply:if you have long dark nails it could lookk gothic or trashy.

i loveeee dark nail polish but i make sure my nails are short and squared when i use it. wicked by essie is my favorite color and dior vernis is a gorgeous shade of midnight blue.
Reply:dosnt matter dark nail polish is hot go for it.
Reply:mine are dark red at the moment. Not very long not very short.

they look nice actually. black is not so easy to use. although i did a few times.

Don't use those acrylic nail polishes. They don't work well.

Mavala for example is very good.

The nails shouldn't be very long for black nail polish, it is not nice. You should keep them middle length. cut them squarrish.

http://www.opi.com/_home%20assets/August...
Reply:french tips do look better on long nail because there is actually a 'tip' to put it on, but i have slim finger and long nails and i love to wear black nail polish, i don't think it looks bad at all, but i will admit when your nails are slightly shorter it is better.

ps: i like dark nail polish but i must admit it looks stranger on long nail, i don't know why, but it is not a mind thing. lol
Reply:Black nail varnish looks awful on long nails, they should be short cause then it looks hot and choppy and cool.

A french manicure looks good on medium length to long nails, those tip things make your natural nail look tiny and odd shaped, especially on your thumb!

Just an opinion
Reply:cut them thats better lol
Reply:I love putting black nail polish on my nails when they're long, and my friends put black nail polish on short nails. But I personally prefer black on long nails as it can make fingers seem stubby if you have short nails.

Best boot polish?

2009-07-31T05:29:00.002-07:00

A week ago I was riding in a lesson and my tall boots got quite muddy because of the many puddles. I have procrastinated on cleaning them (which was a bad idea). Today (4 days later) I saw them in their horrible state and decided I must clean them. I sprayed the globs off with a soft stream of water, but no matter how long I try to wash the specks off ( with water) , they just wont come off. They're not particles that you can feel by going over the boots, but specks that the dirt and mud left behind. Today I am going to a horse fair, and they surely have boot polish there. What is the best method of getting rid of these specks and will my boots ever shine like they did before? What is the best polish? and how muc will it cost? (it might be a bit more expensive at the fair) Thank you very much.

PS. I tried using regular boot polish, but it didn't make my boots shine like they use to. It only made them a dull black.

Best boot polish?
Regular Dubbin will do the job. Failing that, then try normal glycerine saddle soap.
Reply:I would try cleaning them with vogel leather conditioner http://www.vogelboots.com/product_detail... first and then applying polish. I like to use the shoe polish that comes in the tin b/c it gets a better shine, but you can use the cream kind that comes in a jar too.

The trick is in the way you apply it.

First, you want to apply a really generous amount of polish using an aplicator brush http://www.123tack.com/winning/product.a... (don't put any polish on the inside of the calf b/c it will make your saddle gunky) Wait a few minuets to let the polish dry a bit and then buff the boots with a polish brush. http://www.123tack.com/winning/product.a... The last step is to buff them with a cloth (gives you the super shiney mirror finish) Also, it's a lot easier to polish your boots when you are wearing them.

NEVER EVER use one of those quick shine sponge things (they are bad for the leather) and only use glycerin soap on the inner calf b/c it will ruin the boots color.
Reply:I have the same boots. For getting spots out I highly recommend Leather New. It's a glycerine soap spray (so it basically the spray on version of those orange saddle soap bars) and it cleans very well. I use it in conjunction with a regular boot polish to make my look shiny and new!

For the shine issue: they sell these foam-like blocks to buff your boots with, they work very well. I don't know why cfazio thinks they're bad for leather (which they are made specifically for), but my coach buys them and uses them on everyone's boots as we enter the ring and she knows what she's doing.

Black nail polish?? Red nail polish? Favorite nail polish?
I like light pinks, blues, and purples that are shiny.
Reply:black- can look nice on shorter nails with a matte finish so as to not look witchy. i personally never wear it.

red- always classy, but hard to find a good shade sometimes.

my favorite color for toes is fire engine red with high gloss.

the top colors for fall/winter (according to the large number of cosmetic lines i have seen launch so far) are:

1. purples/plums

2. reds/crimsons

3. navy

4. teal/greens

5. black

my personal favorites are...

OPI vodka %26amp; caviar (creamy red)

OPI koala beary (vinyl hot pink)

merle norman teddy bare (creamy nude)

french manis are timeless.

Reply:neither are tacky!!! black can look punk or mod, red can look bright and bold or chic and confident. i luv both colors!!!! i really like dark purple on my feet. i like solid dark colors mostly, and red!
Reply:black nail polish tends to look a little goth or tacky, and it can make your skin tone look gross.

if you really want to use something dark, try a deep brown, it's less harsh. i use o.p.i.'s 'espresso your style.'

as for red, as long as you use a good, bright shade that isn't too bluish, it looks great. i'd recommend orly's 'haute red.'
Reply:Black nail polish is in as long as its shiney and not a dull black, so use a top coat. Red nail polish is great for fall and winter, but try using a deep cranberry red instead of fire engine red, and i love pink nail polish but it really all depends on your skin tone.:0)
Reply:black is good as long as it is shiny. I love french manis 2. Red doesn't look good on most people. depends on ure skin tone. the tanner u are the better it looks on u

Red nail polish always in. It looks cute with anything. It's a great way to brigten up an outfit or someons day!

I like when they put a very pale blue and put a pretty design on. Once i got rainbow colored ... so 7 colors per nail. It looked sooo cute.

I also do enjoy french manicures to. i think they look so cute and natural...(sometimes). Great question btw.

I am looking for a nice Polish community for a friend who is coming over from Poland in the Summer. She is 24 and speaks little English, therefore, I would like to find her somewhere near lots of other Polish people. Perhaps any Polish girls out there could let me know of their experiences when they first arrived and where they finally settled down.

Many thanks.

is that due to the trend or does wearing black nail polish suggest that the girl might have an e.d.? because i've heard they use dark nail polish to cover their unhealthy and discolored nails due to the e.d.

Black nail polish?
it's possible that's for sure, but I think the majority of them do it for fashion .
Reply:I don't know because me and my friend wear black nail polish because it's our favorite colr and we don't have eating disorders but I guess some famous people do that have eating disorders. I'm not sure if that's why though...
Reply:I don't think so. It is probably just a coincidence.
Reply:who knows , but i wear black nail polish are you callin me mental? j/k idk i never noticed that b4
Reply:hmmm....interesting. The "goth" girls I see wearing black nail polish all seem kinda well fed to me. It's the goth boys who look like sticks.
Reply:me too have black nail polish....

hmmmm but i do not had eatin disorder...its jus a trend....
Reply:It's the new red of Hollywood. Where some of us have used it for decades it's the latest thing w/ some celebs.The girls with e.d needs to worry about covering up their unhealthy looking bodies not their nails.
Reply:I think I kind of notice what you mean... but I think they only wear it because it is the fashion.
Reply:yeap you got it the goth girls wer it , don't know about the other.
Reply:I found out that all the young girls in Hollywood are wearing dark nail-polishes. From black to even dark plum,it's just the new thing,a new fashion type statement.You can read all about it in Life %26amp; Style magazine
Reply:Black nail polish is just a trend.
Reply:omg

u r totally right

i never ever noticed that!!
Reply:I've never noticed that before. A lot of the anorexic celebs I've seen all have fake nails done up in French manicures. Acrylic nails will cover up the discolorations too.
Reply:I dont like to judge people,or their taste in things.Personally,I would never wear black nail polish.Maybe when I was 18 I would have,but not now.But I can understand girls that do,and what they believe in ,so it really doesnt bother me to see girls wearing it!
Reply:i don't think that's the fact i just think that its just a trend you know one person does it everyone will.I have seen alot of girls with it it's mostly young girls.
Reply:never heard of that...but it doesnt have to be only black ..red or blue or any dark color would cover it .....i use to wear all kinds of colors but i didnt have a eating disorder
Reply:I never heard that but whenever I wear black nail polish people think i'm trying to be a goth. it's so stupid, I just like the colour!

Does nail polish turn your nails yellow?

2009-07-31T05:28:00.002-07:00

Every time I put on nail polish it looks nice and everything, but when I remove it, my nails are this ugly, dull yellow color. Usually my natural nails look healthy, but every time after I wear nail polish they look awful. Is this just me? Can I fix it somehow, or is there a certain brand of nail polish that won't do this?

Thanks!

Does nail polish turn your nails yellow?
Usually only the cheapy ones do it, it used to happen to me. If you use Sally Hansen it probably won't do it. Your nails might be sensitive to centain chemicals in the polish too. Try taking a Q-Tip dipped in nail polish remover that says it will stregthen nails and run it over your unpainted nails as if your painting them. Let the first coat dry and do it again. Then apply a base coat of clear polish to protect your nails. After that drys, paint them whatever color you want because the base coat with protect them! Good luck!
Reply:This usually happens when you have a dark color on your nails..

Try using undercoats ..

It helps protect your nails...

You put that on first, and then you put your nail polish on.
Reply:it does overtime....... there is a clear finger paint that you put on before you put the colored one on and it protects your nails... then you put it after the colored ones so your nails can last...... hope this helps! good luck!
Reply:Usualy this happens if you keep polish on for a long amount of time. There are soaks, or you can buy some denture soak and soak your nails. You can also buffer them down.
Reply:it happens to me to it will do away in a few days i would suggest waiting till ur nails turn back to there color before repainting
Reply:maybe some kinds.
Reply:Absolutely NOT!!! It looks pretty. I have nail polish on almost every single day without taking it off to let my nails breathe and they are perfectly fine!!!
Reply:This happens because your nails are being covered for that whole time. They can't "breathe" and so anytime you wear nail polish for a while, this'll happen. You can avoid it by not leaving nail polish on for very long.
Reply:you need to let them get some air inbetween polishes b/c with polish your nails dont get air
Reply:you need to use a base coat the dye in polish is staining your nails ,a good one is opi base coat it really is worth it because it levels the nails out ,also you could have a nail fungus or just need to let them breath by not wearing your polish for more than a week and going one day without any on :)
Reply:just use regular nail polish. put on various LIGHT coats so that the nail can breath through the polish. dont add globbs of it to your nails.

hope i helped!

What's the difference between polishing compound, chrome/metal polish, and wax? TurleWax Polishing Compound?

2009-07-31T05:28:00.001-07:00

I have a motorcycle with chrome parts, painted metal parts, painted plastic parts, and exposed engine parts.

I was going to get this "TurtleWax Polishing Compound" because it said it makes stuff shiny and erases scratches, and that it works on paint *and* chrome. Should I use this for everything?

Do I have to put wax on after? What if I skip the polishing compound and just wax? Also, shoudl I get something special for the chrome, like metal polish? how do i know what to get?

What is the difference between all these, what exactly do they FOR.. the title's aren't very descriptive.

Ooh, and my air filter cover is a different kind of metal, possibly plastic, but it has these wormy grooves in it.. weird--what causes that and should I do something special for that?

What's the difference between polishing compound, chrome/metal polish, and wax? TurleWax Polishing Compound?
care should be taking when using a rubbing compound the medal and chome maybe ok but watch the plastic parts i have always used one wax for painted parts one for chome
Reply:ask the maker of the wax/polish that you are using. With modern technology, there may be compounds that can do all that you want without additional wax. www.turtlewax.com
Reply:some compounds have a very low abrasive media inside the contents this could result in a bad case of scratched fifty dolla wheelz
Reply:ALL COMPOUNDS ARE ABRASIVE AND YOU CAN DO MORE DAMAGE IF YOU DON'T USE IT CORRECTLY.

FOR THE CHROME JUST USE 0000 STEEL WOOL, EASY TO USE AND WILL SHINE UP LIKE A MIRROR.

FOR THE EXPOSED METAL PARTS USE MOTHERS.

FOR THE PAINTED SURFACES TRY USING A MILD SPRAY WAX FIRST AND SEE WHAT WILL HAPPEN.

YOU CAN ALSO USE THE SAME WAX ON THE PLASTIC ITEMS AS WELL.

GOOD LUCK........

Remove Nail Polish From A Purse?

2009-07-31T05:28:00.000-07:00

A bottle of my pink nail polish kinda broke open inside of my purse.. How can i remove it from the lining? I've tryed nail polish remover and it hasn't worked. the purse was a xmas gift so i really don't want to dispose of it. How can i remove nail polish from a purse?

Remove Nail Polish From A Purse?
If the nail polish cannot be seen from the outside of the purse, I would just leave it in there. Trying to remove it will cause more damage to the purse than it's worth. And you might end up ruining the bag altogether - so I'd leave it alone.

Good luck!

ymmf
Reply:I had that happen on the outside of a suede purse that cost me like $80 or so. I was doing my nails and the bottle spilled and leaked all over the side of my purse. I ended up throwing it away because it never was the same after that no matter how hard I tried to get rid of the stain. But yours is on the inside so it won't be as bad.

My nail polish wont come off?

2009-07-31T05:27:00.003-07:00

ok i havea really big toe ! I know thats weird and gross.I use nail polish remover and try getting the nail polish of but it wont come off !

also my friend has a really tiny toenail on her pinky toe and a drop of nail polish will over flow her baby toe ! Is that normal

My nail polish wont come off?
put the remover on a cotton swab and hold it on your toe till it softens then you should be able to wipe it off with a bit of a strong wipe. everyone has different toes, so if that is the way her toes are - it is normal.
Reply:scrub and yes
Reply:no...its normal. most ppl's pinky toenails are like that..... and try using stronger nail polish remover and scrub your feet clean
Reply:! a good strong nail polish remover should work!!!
Reply:you should use strong nail polish remover and use a cotton to scrub it off
Reply:your a retard you just have to scrub your toes and it will come off and your friend is a wierdo for asking this question
Reply:You might want to use a stronger remover.Get the one that says it's NOT safe for acrylic nails.And if you have glitter over the polish it's harder to get off.Just try rubbing harder and using more.
Reply:uhm that is weird lol but try using stronger remover and sumthn thicker than a cotton....thing. if u have a design that ha more than just nail polish (top paint, glitter like that other person sed, or jewels) itll be harder to remove. also, maybe ur nail polish isnt acrilic, and ur using the rong kind of remover....is there not acrilic nail polish? idk, but this is all i can think of! as for ur friend, uhm...its not a freak thing, cuz i no people with really small piggy toes (lol), and that "drop" of polish culd be bigger than her toe! my piggy toe isnt THAT small, but hey...if ur piggy toenail was big, it wuldnt be called a piggie toe, right? lol

Pronunciation of Polish last name?

2009-07-31T05:27:00.000-07:00

I have an appointment with a Dr Wolaniuk, who is Polish. My former college roommate, also Polish, was named "Saniuk" and it was pronounced Sahn-yuk. I thought "Wolaniuk" would be similar, like Vol-ah-nyuk, but the service called to remind me of my appt with Dr Wol -nee-ak. If any Polish speakers could advise, I'd appreciate it very much.

Pronunciation of Polish last name?
Vo-LAH-nyuk

I never met the name in Polish, but in Ukrainian it is written Волянюк, and thus pronounced (and transliterated) Volyanyuk (Vo-lya-nyuk).

edit: I today asked a Polish colleague, who confirmed that the surname Wolaniuk is used in Poland but of Ukrainian origin. A Russian (half-Ukrainian) colleague added that Волянюк in Ukrainian is usually stressed on the last syllable (Vo-lya-NYUK), whereas in Polish it is always stressed on the penultimate (Vo-LAH-nyuk).
Reply:Woh-lahn-yook
Reply:Ok first of all service calls NEVER and i do mean never get our last names right! I just laugh at them and hang up lol. But anyways you were right the first time Wolaniuk is pronounced Vol ah nyuk. Stupid callers. Good Job! Do Widzenia
Reply:Vol-ah-nyuk is right, Wol -nee-ak is wrong unless his last name is Wolniak
Reply:either you spelt it wrong or they did. if it's your spelling then you were right with your pronunciation - i often come across people who can't pronounce their boss' names and it drives me frickin crazy!! having said that, maybe it's someone new at the clinic...i guess i shouldn't be so harsh...?! ;o)
Reply:You are right to pronounce the name Wolaniuk as "vol-ah-nyuk." Polish spelling is pretty regular, so the letter "w" will pretty much always stand for a "v" sound, an "o" stands for a "oh", an "a" is an "ah", the letters "ni" stand for a "ny" (like the Spanish ñ), "u" is a "oo" and "k" is, well, a "k" ;)

By the same token, if somebody pronounces the name as "voh-lee-nyak," due to the regularity of Polish spelling, it must stand for a different name, i.e. Woliniak. One word will almost never have more than one pronounciation in Polish, so Wolaniuk is always "vol-ah-nyuk," or raher "vol-ah-nyook" since the last vowel should be a full long "oo" sound.

Whoever gave you the name on the phone could have mispronounced it, or you may have been mistaken about the name from the outset as it might really be Woliniak. However, I am Polish and I would have mispronounced it easily... it's like saying "Tom Johnson" instead of "John Thompson" - some people will do that ;)

Black nail polish- yes/no?

2009-07-31T05:26:00.002-07:00

At my school, black nail polish is assosciated with people who only wear black and are considered gothic. I'm the total opposite of those people. Yet I LOVE black nail polish! I get some crap for wearing it because it doesn't really fit the stereotype. What do you think? Is black nail polish cool or not?

Black nail polish- yes/no?
ya i think its cute. dont let ppl tell you what to wear. you be the trend setter and wear what you want. i like black nail polish
Reply:I think so. If you look to the media, lots of stars sport dark nails. It's kind of hot right now in the fashion world. If people give you crap for it, then they're just shallow and narrow-minded for needing to label everything and everyone.
Reply:I love black nail polish! Who cares about stereotypes? You can just trash stereotypes and do what you want and wear whatever nail polish you want; that's how it should be. I feel so sophisticated and casual when I wear black nail polish. :)

Reply:I think black nail polish can look SO cute if it goes with what you're wearing. Many celebrities are wearing it right now. :)
Reply:who cares what other people think... you should keep putting black nail polish on
Reply:Does the polish go with whatever you're wearing/your hair/your eyes? If yes, then it's cool. If no, then you shouldn't even be bothering.
Reply:Do what ever you want! I wear black nail polish sometimes and I am not a weirdo!
Reply:as long as you're not doing it to be one of those weirdos, then it looks good.
Reply:Always be your own person. Lead don't follow. If you are happy wearing black nail polish, then do it. Never let others dictate who you are.
Reply:i luv it and wear it a ll the time

ppl call me goth even though ill be wearing a pink sweater its pretty funni tho

i think guys get intimidated cuz this 1 guy told me that it means that black nail polish means i dnt need a guy to take care me

Does nail polish look good on anyone anymore?

2009-07-31T05:26:00.001-07:00

I havn't seen alot of girls with nice lookings hands because their nail polish just looks horrible wiht their hands.

Have you ever noticed that, nail polish can look really weird on certain people, almost awkward...i can't get use to it.

Anyway, do you prefer clean clear hands, or do you still do the whole nail polish thing.

Does nail polish look good on anyone anymore?
I usually keep my nails clean. Sometimes I'll put on a clear polish.. =)

When I'm at home, and I have nothing better to do, I paint my nails in the most biazzard and weird looking colors....but just for fun. I take it off before I go to school. lol

As for other people...........I think that sometimes people choose colors that don't match their skin tone. They just pick a color that they think is pretty.

=)
Reply:I think matching nail polish looks really cute. If it starts chipping off, you have to remove it right away. It also looks bad if you bite your nails or clip them too short.
Reply:I like to use the clear nail polish now. I don't like the black and purple nail polish
Reply:It depends on who is wearing it. But I usally use a clear cote.
Reply:I have noticed that lately as well. It almost looks too thick! You see alot of bright colors too and I have always liked light colors better.
Reply:clean clear hands :]

nail polish chips and it gets me annoyed
Reply:It just depends on the color of the polish, actually. I still paint my nails. I'm currently sporting neon green. It's just another way to express yourself, to me.
Reply:Well, it truly is a matter of preference, since everyone is different (and aren't you glad?).

Nail polish, if done well and in a color that goes with the person wearing it, can be quite attractive.

Consider this, you see a person with a very light complexion wearing a very dark nail color. Not good, right?

Now what if you saw a nicely tanned girl wearing a medium short dress, some gold jewelry and with a softer gold polish on her fingers and toes. Nice....

How about a person with very short, uneven nails wearing chipped polish (any color). It's just not very attractive.

Now how about a girl with longer dark hair, an olive complextion, just the right amount of makeup to enhance (not hide) her natural beauty and wearing a glossy maroon on her nails. Pretty decent!

So you see? There are many variations - some work, some don't. Some people choose to just have their nails neatly trimmed and slightly buffer (no polish) for a neat, clean look.

I guess it's to each his own. That's why people-watching is so popular - you never know what you'll see!

Have fun observing!!
Reply:i never put on weird colours like purple or blue. i always go french with the french manicure cause it looks cute and fresh and clean!!
Reply:I've not worn nail varnish in about three or four years. Not only do I keep my nails short for archery (catching a nail on a bowstring really hurts!) and fighting, but I'm in the lab five days a week, and there's nothing like the acetone we use for washing glassware to take nail varnish straight off. There's just no point any more.
Reply:i use nail polish, but i put it on only when my nails are short with rounded ends and the cuticles are clean. once thats all settled, i choose a color that compliments my skin tone, then paint them myself and fix any mistakes!!
Reply:well i like painting my nails in a whole bunch of wierd colors in like stripes and polka dots.

but i guess it depends on what you prefer.

What nail polish should I buy?

2009-07-31T05:26:00.000-07:00

I'm in the eighth grade and turning 14 next month, and I want to start wearing nail polish. I have no experience with nail polish, except for this one time in the fifth grade where I was at a birthday party, and the birthday girl wanted us all to paint our nails. I do not wear any makeup because I find it inappropriate for girls my age, but I think nail polish is cute and compliments your clothes and looks.

I heard OPI is a good brand, but I haven't seen it at a Target before. It is also pricey compared to drugstore brands. I'm looking for a good brand that can be purchased at Target. The colors I am looking for to start off with are off white, black, yellow, red, and dark purple. I've seen these colors a lot in magazines. Are these colors okay to begin with? And is it necessary to buy a clear, top coat as well?

Thank you for your help!

What nail polish should I buy?
These are some of my favorite nail polishes that are available at Target --

Maybelline Express Finish Nail Polish: http://www.maybelline.com/Product/Nail/N...

P.S. If you want a recommendation, I'd say a deep blue like Chanel Blue Satin. http://bp3.blogger.com/_8D5qVf5VMxs/R02r...
Reply:essie is great...or just go to a salon and get a french manicure...that would be the best because french goes with anything!
Reply:Okay my nails are jacked ha.

But claires neon nailpolish is super cute

%26amp; so is black nailpolish. revlon works good.
Reply:yah opi is fabulous and target shuold have it...... and by the way im younger than 8th grade and i wear makeup every day of my life
Reply:well the top coat can add a little bit of shine.. to your nail.. black is really ugly i think but that is up to you on what colors you want to wear loreal is a great brand to buy and maybeline
Reply:you don't need to get opi, the bottles are huge and you won't be able to finish the colors before it dries. All nail polish from Target is good.

off white: is a good color, cream colors too are really nice for spring/summer

black: is in this season, but since you're young, young people will just think you're goth/punk or whatever

yellow: makes it look like you have fungus on your nails

red: is awesome, but also tends to make your hands appear pale

dark purple: is a good color, if there is a touch of pink.

what color i recommend for you is a Coral/orange color. It's young and fresh and will make your fingers look slightly more tan. Also, wear a base coat, if you leave on your nail polish too long (more than two weeks) it will stain your nails yellow. Your top coat will protect your polish, and your base and top coat polish is just clear nail polish.
Reply:Yeah, OPI is the best! U can sometimes find it @ JCPenney's , or at OPI.com ! good luck!!!!
Reply:Go to Rite Aid, they have the BEST! Most of it is NYC Newyork... I hate that brand because they test on animals but the polish is very good!
Reply:wow you sound extremely intelligent for a 13 year old.

and i don't buy the bit about makeup being inappropriate for a girl your age. unless you're amish.

be that as it may, wal-mart has the best nail polish i've ever used. the brand is nicole and i'm wearing the dark purple right now. it's fantastic.
Reply:Well, if you’re only starting to wear nail polish, your nails are probably pretty strong and you don’t have to worry about nail strengtheners or calcium top coats or stuff like that. I personally like professional brands such as OPI, china glaze, creative and I especially love channels nail polishes! Top coats basically make the nail polish stay longer and keep it from chipping, bottom coats will make it easier to take off, kind of like moisturizer before make up.
Reply:im not sure if they have this at target but Revlon has some great nail polish. they may not have a big variety but it is good nail polish.
Reply:I like Sally Hansen the best myself, and it should be available at Target. If you are just starting to paint your nails yourself, I'd start with a pale, sheer shade, which will show less if you end up getting some on the skin surrounding your nails.

HELP! nail polish CRISIS?

2009-07-31T05:25:00.002-07:00

I have no nail polish remover and I need this polish off soon. I have hardly any polish left, and I cant go to the store. Please help me! I have rubbing alchohol, does it work?

PLEASE HELP!!!

thanks

HELP! nail polish CRISIS?
Rubbing alcohol won't work.

If there are any tools/workshops, check for acetone. That's what the harsh and most dangerous nail polish removers are made of.

Failing that, use a clear nail polish remover, that isn't "quick dry". It takes forever, but you can slowly remove the old polish, by dissolving it with the fresh polish. Apply the new polish, wait just long enough for it to start to adhere to the old polish, and remove. Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.

No guarantees, though.
Reply:use the alcohol if it doesnt work scracth it girl that always works when you dont have anything else
Reply:Rubbing Alcohal Works (Not As Good And As Quick... But It Still Works)

Thats What I Use When I Dont Have Nail Polish Remover!!

Hope This HElps!!
Reply:ITS WORKS A LITLLE . TRY IT ..DUH!
Reply:Try the alchohol, or some heneken (j/p)

Or better of just send somebody to the store for you.
Reply:I can't imagine a nail polish crisis. But if it's a crisis to you, I'm here to help. Since there's very little polish left, nibble it off. I have done this by scrapeing the nail with my bottom teeth. Gross but effective.
Reply:I seriously don't know the answer to your question but I wanted to say thanks for helping me with mine. It really helped.
Reply:No it doesn't just put more nail polish on and take a piece of cloth and take both nail polishes off it works like a charm
Reply:no...you need acetone
Reply:Sometimes it works if you put a layer of another nailpolish (clear is probably best) on top of it and very quickly, before it dries, scratch or peel it off. The idea is that it will take the other layer of nail polish already on your nail with it.
Reply:pick it off or soak it in warm water. that loosens the polish and then u can pick it off. rubbing alchohol does not work i dont think.
Reply:lemon or lime or summin iz menna work?? im not sure but its worth a shot
Reply:don't use rubbing alchohol it won't work. if i was u i would scratch it off.

Will nail polish rmover hurt my kittens?

2009-07-31T05:25:00.001-07:00

My cat had kittens a month ago. My daughter got nail polish on two of the kittens. They are rather large spots on their fur. Neither of them has polish near their faces though. If i use nail polish remover on them, will it hurt them? I googled this and found nothing. Please only reply if you know A LOT about cats. Thank You.

Will nail polish rmover hurt my kittens?
PLEASE don't use nail polish remover - if I were you I would cut it out, it won't look pretty but nail polish doesn't really suit them either, and hey, you get to NOT poison them to boot. Ever drank or inhaled acetone? It doesn't come recommended for a fully grown human, let alone a kitten!!
Reply:Do not put polish remover on them it is poisonous to pets. Let their hair grow out a little and VERY CAREFULLY trim away the spots of fur with scissors. Be very careful because you dont want to cut them. If you can afford it then just take them to a vet and let a professional handle it.
Reply:Yes it will harm them,it's toxic !!! Cut all the fur that's got it on ASAP,the fur will grow back. If the kittens lick it they will become sick.

Best wishes.

Whenever I try to speak polish there may be one or two words that I don't know how to say or I know how to say them in polish but not the right way.

How can I improve my polish so I can carry out a conversation with someone who is straight from Poland and knows almost no english?

Black nail polish or navy nail polish?

2009-07-31T05:24:00.000-07:00

which would you be more likely to wear?

I read in a magazine that navy blue nail polish is last years black polish.

Black nail polish or navy nail polish?
I like both

but yeah your right- navy is in this season =]
Reply:I like black nail polish better.
Reply:I vote Navy. Although I'm really not much of a nail painter...

I also read that about Navy being the new black. Which shade of blue, navy or purple you should wear depends on your skin tone. A general rule is that the fairer your skin is, the darker your polish. Also, the darker your nail polish is, the shorter and rounder your nails should be. Happy Painting!
Reply:um, i would pick navy, black is too popular, and navy would fit my style better. with navy i can pair with red bettr.
Reply:navy nail polish
Reply:i wear black nail polish.

if i find a nice navy blue, without like glitter ill try it :]

Removing Nail Polish from carpeting!?

2009-07-31T05:23:00.001-07:00

Last night my mom spilled a pretty good amount of bright red nail polish on her sage color carpeting. I just had to share with everyone how to get the stain out...you need to blot any excess nail polish, then grab wd-40....spray all of the stain. this will spread the stain...using a washcloth and some elbow grease it will slowly disappear. i then used some baby powder to get the excess oil out of the carpet, vaccumed...then treated it with carpet cleaner-like resolve. i had one place that stilled showed slightly and i rubbed it with some goo gone-and it is gone! im not going to lie and say it only took me a few minutes it took some time rubbing the stain out then vaccuming and all this. not really a question but just had to share! I'm a nail tech and i think the reason why wd-40 worked so well is because nail polish doesn't like oil-it can't stick to oil-oh and the color of the carpet didn't fade or anything!

Use nail polish remover!!!
Reply:Good for you! When I was a kid my sister dropped a closed bottle of cheap BLUE nail polish on the carpet. The bottle spontaneously split open and there was a huge spot on the carpet. My mom tried getting it out with nail polish remover, which didn't work, so that area was covered with a rug forever after that. Good for you for figuring out how to clean it.
Reply:did you use a dry washcloth or a wet one? Thank you this is good to know.

Dried nail polish?

2009-07-31T05:23:00.000-07:00

I have this bright purple with glitter nail polish dried on my daughters carpet. she was trying to paint her own nails. that didn't work well for a 3 year old. Needless to say when i found out about it, it was already dried. The carpet is a med. shade gray and it's still very noctieable. the carpet ain't even 4 years old yet and it's in great shape out side of the nail polish. I'm thinking about selling my house and looking for something to work on it without making it lighter or even white.plus it's not in a area that you can hide it with something. any help i'll take. i won't use nail polish remover so don't even say that.

Dried nail polish?
I'm sorry, but I doubt it will ever look right again. You can try acetone. Gently blot and it should help fade the color, but it will never look the same. Replacing that section of carpet is your best bet. You can hire a carpet layer to come and patch it with a spare piece or some carpet from the closet. If done right, it will look like nothing happened when done. Good luck
Reply:Have you tried lacquer thinner? This is the maximum orbit for any type of dried paint. CAUTION: Lacquer thinner is explosively fammable but if you take care it may aid in your dilemna. No open flame within thirty feet.
Reply:Have you tried freezing it off, put a few ice cubes in a plastic bag and rub, then with a blunt knife , gently scrape it off, should come of like this, I can also suggest you try using a little of your own nail varnish remover , then rinse this area straight away with warm water and a small amount of dish washing liquid, Kids are great , they don´t have care in the world, god bless

How do you make nail polish last longer?

2009-07-31T05:22:00.003-07:00

Whenever I get a manicure, the nail polish chips off within a day or two, especially when I work. I work in retail hanging clothes and I think the hangers make the polish chip off faster. I know nail polish lasts much longer on acrylics but I want to avoid getting acrylics because they damage my real nails so much when I get them removed. What can I do or use to make the polish last longer? I have a basecoat and topcoat (made by Orly) that are supposed to help the polish bond to the nail and last longer and resist chipping but it doesn't really work well. Any suggestions?

How do you make nail polish last longer?
when your getting a manicure ( or just giving yourself one) ask the lady to put a horizontal swipe of polish on the very tips of your nails.. this is like a barrier from chipping---honestly its amazing. i am not nice to my nails when i get a mani, but the stipe protects it from chipping. try it... good luck :]

ps. you can put the horizontal stpripr under or over your first coat,....
Reply:A base coat, your nail polish, then a top coat. If you are going to do work dealing with liquid, wear a glove.
Reply:I will never wear acrylics so I've had the same problem with paint staying on my nails. The only thing that works on my nails is OPI (base, polish %26amp; top coat) and Essie. I cook (so my hands stay wet %26amp; are constantly being washed) and I've been really impressed with these two brands. Just be sure to use two coats of color and let all the coats dry properly.
Reply:it may look silly and get a little hot, but I suggest wearing a snug fitting pair of gloves. Or go to OfficeMax or HomeDepot and get those rubber fingers for mail room workers. Hopefully you won't have to be butttoning any clothing up, but you should still be able to fold and hang clothes on hangers.

Hope these tips help.

Removing nail polish from leather?

2009-07-31T05:22:00.002-07:00

I spilled a good amount of bright red nail polish on my black leather car seat. Any suggestions on how to remove it without damaging the leather. I considered nail polish remover, but afraid it will damage the leather. Not that it could be any worse than red nail polish!

Removing nail polish from leather?
If you have fingernail polish try acetate. Blot the chemical onto the nail polish spot using a Q tip trying not to touch the leather with the acetate and then blot with a towel and repeat, keep on doing this until stain is gone (will take a long time)

From a carpet cleaner of 14 years
Reply:This will almost certainly remove the top finsih on the leather which will leave the leather exposed and then destroy the leather itself over time. Report It

Reply:You may be lucky and find that it peels off depending what type of leather you have. If it does it may still leave a mark or remove the colour.

Nail varnish remover will definitely remove the pigment from your suite as well as the nail varnish, you will then have another difficult problem to resolve. No available cleaners for leather will remove this type of damage so you have to resort to solvents which like the nail varnish remover will remove pigment. Therfore this is a job for a trained leather technician.

Contact LTT on 01423 881027 to find a trained technician in your area if you are in the UK. Please be warned that any DIY remedies you find WILL damage your suite and it is best left to the professionals.

Can I use dog nail polish on a cat?

2009-07-31T05:22:00.001-07:00

I have seen a lot of nail polish made specially for dogs, but I have done some yahoo and google searches for cat nail polish, but can't seem to find any.

There is a website that sells dog nail polish for $2 and something, its pretty cheap, the site is www.petedge.com

I have also seen dog nailpolish at a local pet shop.

do you think it would be safe to use dog nail polish on my cats? I don't think it would get stuck in there fur or anything because the website petedge.com says their's is fast drying, and my cats are pretty calm. i was just wondering if i could use it on cats, because i really wouldnt want to use human nail polish on them, im sure it toxic to animals.

thanks.

Can I use dog nail polish on a cat?
Cats' claws retract so nail polish really wouldn't be a good idea.

If you're really gung-ho about your cats having colored nails, check out vinyl nail caps (usually marketed under the name of SoftPaws or SoftClaws). They're just little caps that you glue over the cat's existing nail and they fall off every 4-6 weeks or so when the cat sheds the outer sheath of the nail. They're made to alleviate scratching problems because they dull the claw so it can't do damage but they make colored nail caps so you could use those. Just make sure that you don't let your cats outside while they're wearing the nail caps because they dull a cat's first line of defense.

Check out the photo galleries in the links below if you want an idea of what they look like. The websites also have FAQs and information about applying the caps.
Reply:Try using a product called Soft Paws. They are little rubber tips that go over the nails and they come in different colors. Most vets will be able to get them for you and I'm sure most groomers or pet stored also have them. They are safe, last about a month or so and you can see them when the cats claws are retracted.
Reply:Why would you want to? I mean, really? Their claws retract, so even a fast-drying polish is likely to end up on pawpads or fur. And when they groom, they'll be eating that, plus whatever chips off.

They're beautiful without our silly human vanities, you know? Paint your own nails and leave the kitties' alone.
Reply:Are they calm if you touch their feet? My cats FREAK OUT if I touch their feet.
Reply:Probably not a good idea, as cats lick everything off their paws. I am sure it's not meant to be ingested.

Plus, thier nails retract, so it's kind of pointless.
Reply:Here's what you have to keep in mind, trust me, I have tried painting my cats nails.

Cats claws are retractible, meaning they can go "into" the paw and 'hide" This means you would have to press on the paw to make the claws stick out, paint them, AND hold tahe cat's paw in the "Claws out" position until the polish is dry. MUCH harder than it seems. Even a good natured cat won't appreciate it's paws being held and squeesed (however gently) for that long, and will probably fight you.

You can go ahead and try, but it may not work too well.
Reply:I would say that it is better not to try it. Cats react differently to substances than dogs do. They can't use the same flea and tick medications because advantage is lethal to cats. To be on the safe side I would leave the nail polish for the dogs. Plus cats claws retract into the skin and dogs do not so unless you hold your cat's paw until the polish is dry it will come off as soon as you let go of the paw and the claws are retracted.

2)Also how do I get it off my hands i took a shower and wash and scrubbed my hands and it wont come off

3)I got a french manicure and 2 of my nails chipped off.I have the White nail polish and the pink but the problem is the nail polish has a large brush.How would I reapply the white tip TECHNIQUES?? TOOLS??

Removing Nail Polish?
Simple, use finger nail polish remover (without acetone) on the counter and on your hands.

Snip the brush for the white polish so that it is thinner and repaint your french manicure.
Reply:It will all come off with acetone nail remover...but you may have to go and have your nails redone. Put on rubber gloves to clean your counter...but you may have to use it on your hands and fingers...but I don`t know what to do with your nails except have them done over.
Reply:On the counter...take a single edge razor...and VERY CAREFULLY attack the edges of the polish..if there is a color stain when you get the polish up..try a bit of cleanser..let it sit and then with a soft cloth scrub it off...goood luck ♥

Any one Polish?!?

2009-07-31T05:21:00.002-07:00

I am part Polish (but don't speak any at all!) and was thinking that it would be pretty neat to call my two boys ages 3 and 2 an endearing name in Polish on occasion. I'm looking for something like "beloved", "sweetheart", "angel", etc, etc. If anyone is Polish and knows of anything appropriate to call a son, please answer! Also, I will need to you phonetically spell it so I will be able to pronounce it. Thanks for anyone who helps!

Any one Polish?!?
That would be:

"kochanie" ("beloved", used here also as equivalent to "darling", pronounciation should be sth like "kokhanyie").

Can't find any equivalent to "sweetheart" that would be appropriate when referring to a child.

"anioł", or rather "aniołek" (literally "angel" or "little angel", which is actually sometimes used when referring to a child). Pronounciation should be alike to "aniow" with "a" like in "ah!" and "w" like in "world" / "aniowekh" with "e" like in "ear".

However, Polish is a highly declinative language, and forms do change a lot - "kochanie" can be used as-is, since it's gramatically neutral. "Aniołek" however should undergo some changes depending on the situation / context. Still, for your needs the basic form should do...

Keep in mind the pronounciation guidelines are only as accurate as I could write them, I have a problem imagining how it should be written phonetically for an English-speaking person. So better ask someone speaking good Polish to say it a few times, and make your own phonetic writing.
Reply:My family moved from poland to german in the 1500's then they moved to mexico in the 1800's. No I don't speak Polish

My nail polish is old & really thick.?

My nail polish is really think and old. Is there any way to make it usable again? I've heard that if you dilute it with nail polish remover, that it loosens it. Is that true?

It's not a huge issue to throw out the nail polish; I'm just really cheap (I'm in college) and am trying to save money.

it's inexpensive, gorgeous, and lasts a longgg time.

I wore one coat for two months before it wore all the way off, hahaha. [But it comes off with nail polish remover fine.]
Reply:It will loosen but it chips and clumps more.
Reply:I've seen my manicurist do this with polish remover, but it only takes a drop or two,then roll the bottle in your hands to blend well.
Reply:No choice but to dump it. Get a new one. Save up.
Reply:when you buy a N/P always keep them in a dry plastic storage and put them in the bottom of your refrigerator door, keep away from sun. when you apply them on to ur nails, pick before go to bed in the night, so you will not make a mess to your wet N/P bcos u doing something by ur hand, wash your hand with free oil soap, brush your nails with a soft brusher ( im using an infant tooth brush, its cheap!). apply the N/P only one time for pastel color, and two times for strong color, but the key is wipe the polisher feather smoothly, so you dont need to reapply and re aplly! it cause the N/P become drier and drier. in the morning you will have your nails polished!

you can only keep your N/P not more than 6months. other wise you want to apply a worst N/P and damage your hand cuticle. diluting your "thicker" N/P is another way to make i lighter, but dont forget, the remover liquid is made by aceton, and it can harm your nails cuticle, make your nails could not breath and become yellow in another day, if you keep this way, you will find your nails lose it moist and become ugly!

if you like to keep your nails manicured and coloured, you better buy a good N/P, litle bit expensive but worth.

but my suggestion, well manicured and clean is more than enough, and also my husband loves them natural!
Reply:ok!you can mix it with nail polish remover to reuse it but the problem is that it looses its shine!meaning its going to look dull and not sparkly as nail polish does so either buy a new one or just mix it with nail polish remover and have a dull nail polish.........................
Reply:fill a sink with boiling water, then leave the nail varnish bottle in there for a few minutes. It's what i do to all mine when they start getting thick
Reply:try it and see if it works. if not, throw it out. and if a $2 bottle of polish is standing between you and college, just go without the polish.
Reply:I have tried using nail polish remover to thin the polish and even tried some nail polish thinner that I found at Sally's and it did thin the polish. To me, the polish did not seem the same as when it was new and did not stay on as long.
Reply:Yeah That is true. Use just a lil and shake it up really well. You may only be able to use it one or two more times tho, when they get old, and you need to make them liquid again, its pretty much a lost cause after that.

Red nail polish?

2009-07-31T05:21:00.000-07:00

I've tried red nail polish on my toes and I really liked it. So now I want to paint my fingernails red. But, I don't wear very much red, and I don't wear black that much either. Should my nail polish kind of match my clothes? Like, would it look weird if I wore blue and had red nail polish on?

Red nail polish?
Not at all. Most of today's fashions involve mixing and matching with different colors and patterns. Red goes with a lot, and it shouldn't matter what color your nails are. It'll look a tad nicer if it were one of those colors that went with absolutly everything, but who cares? Just as long as you think it looks good, you'll be fine!
Reply:Thats fine. Your nails dont have to match your clothes.

Not many peoples do...
Reply:Just go for it, it doesn't matter what outfit you are wearing, there are some really classy looking reds out there at the moment. Enjoy.

Reply:Red nail polish is classic and goes with anything. Darker shades of red and just about any colour are REALLY in right now too.
Reply:no it dosent have to.

red is my favorite color of nail polish and i wear a lot of grey, blue, white, yellow, oatmeal/tan and it looks good and i think really hip.
Reply:It doenst matter what you wear, nailpolish works with everything, especially red. But make sure if you paint you fingernails red, you dont have short fingernails. i did this once while i still bit my nails and it looked horrible.
Reply:red nail polish rocks. you wear it whenever you want.
Reply:Your nail polish don't have to match your clothing. I mean, you can't change your nail color daily like you change your clothes. Red nail polish always looks good.

Just polish it till it shines

Reply:Come on Melrose, a serious question? OK, I'll try to give a serious answer.

You can always try the old spit and polish technique although perhaps some Brasso is more appropriate in this instance. It's always best to polish slowly and make sure you do those hard to reach places for a really good job. You will know when you have administered enough polishing because their will be a shiny glow about his nob.
Reply:Well, sometime the antiques can be stronger than new pieces, with a higher quality of material used. Any kind of polish will work, as long as the owner of the piece approves! I think a combination of fast and slow motion will be effective, but DON'T stop until the owner is satisfied with your work :)
Reply:LOL, will you ever run out my dear?
Reply:lmao. Good question Melrose. My experience shows a good spit shine is your best bet. There are different polishing techniques, I prefer rotating between fast and slow and that usually does the trick and it doesn't take long at all.!!

Hi!

I want to learn Polish, but I think if I tried to learn it myself online or at home then I wouldn't get too far.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the Rugby/Coventry/Daventry area where there is a school or a place where I could take Polish lessons? Ideally in the Rugby area as that is the closest to me. This would be in England, UK by the way.

Thanks!

Sorry cannot give you any details just wanted to say it's nice you want to learn this difficult language.

As there are so many Poles living in England I am sure there must be someone willing to teach Polish and maybe learn English same time?

Maybe the Polish Cultural Institute (in UK) can help you?

Nail polish as wart remover?

2009-07-31T05:20:00.001-07:00

I read somewhere that applying clear nail polish to plantar's warts will get rid of them. Has anyone tried this and had it work? Do you peel off the dried nail polish and a much of the wart before you apply a new layer or do you just keep putting on nail polish until it dissolves or falls off?

Or do you have any other effective, non-surgical ways of removing warts?

Nail polish as wart remover?
It does work, on small warts. You just keep painting on the polish until the wart disappears. Reason being, warts need air, by smothering them with the nail polish, you basically suffocate them.
Reply:ok this may seem really weird but my boyfriend had warts on his hands and his doctor told him to put duct tape over them untill they are gone, my boyfriends re completely gone, he started to notice a difference in the size of the wart after a couple days.... it works
Reply:nail polish does not work. you can buy wart removing products at any drugstore,look for products with high amount of salicylic acid.
Reply:i would ot use nail polish for that..go to your local grocery store or pharmacy and get the warm remover ..called..freez off..it works my brother used it..try to keep your hands clean and dont mess with them as much as possible cause they spread to other fingers and parts of your body if your not carefull
Reply:The best way to remove a wart without paying for the doctor is using dried ice. This is the same thing doctors use!

Just be careful, of course! Apply the ice carefully (it burns!!) to the infected area once or twice a week until it's gone.

My friend had a very big stubborn wort for man, at least 10 years and removed it herself this way! I'd try fingernail polish and duct tape FIRST though, but if lack of air isn't enough to do the trick why pay the doctor to do something you can do yourself?

Is Polish difficult to learn????

2009-07-31T05:20:00.000-07:00

nd wants to learn some Polish so he can speak it with his staff.

He called the Polish culture centre in Dublin a to find out where he could get lessons and the woman on the phone laughed at him and told him that unless he has a really high aptitude for languages he wouldn’t be able to do it.

Is that true?

He doesnt expect to be fluent or anything he just wanted to learn some conversational stuff.

I know Polish isn’t at all related to English so that might be strange when you try to learn it but since he already speaks Gaeilge and that s not related to English it wouldn’t be such a shock to him.

Is it really hard would he just be wasting his time or is the woman exaggerating?

Is Polish difficult to learn????
That foolish woman who works in the Polish Culture Center should be sacked. If anything, she should be encouraging and flattered that somebody would want to learn Polish, a language which is rich in culture, literature and folklore. That aside, it is difficult to learn and the grammar, like many Slavic languages, is quite hard for an English speaker to fathom. But determination and willingness will prove it out. With all the wonderful material on the internet, it makes the job of learning any language easier.

Here is a suggestion: try listening to some Polish singers such as Maryla Rodowicz. You can locate her material on youtube or her website http://www.marylarodowicz.pl where you will see written Polish as well as be able to access one of her recordings. The lyrics are available in written form on this website: http://www.piosenki.pl Have fun!
Reply:Polish is a very hard language to learn due to the differnt writings. I am 13 years old and am able to write and speak Arabic, English (fluent), French (fluent), Spanish, Hungarian (fluent), and Italian. I think im gonna try polish soon, but right now I think that six lanuages is enough.
Reply:Yes, it is quite a difficult language. Nothing is impossible, but I'm sure it would take years of immersion to get it. Those slavic languages tend to be very hard to learn.
Reply:It hard to learn. But its depend on your friend. Some people have talent for language. They can speak at least 5 languages. No. He's not gonna wast his time. Forget about that woman. Nothing is impossible.

She has treasure boxes to fill but we are having a hard time finding Polish candy. Chocolate would be the ideal but we are looking for suggestions even recipes to try and make our own :) .

Thanks for the help

Is there any Polish candy to use for a wedding?

Reply:Polish chocolates
Reply:My fiance is polish and I am not sure what this is called but he sometimes brings it home from a polish grocery store that he goes to. It is a thin wafer made of sesame seeds and is held together by some sort of honey mixture. They are absolutely delicious and beautiful to look at. They come in a little foil packet so I am sure it can be found at most polish stores and not just the one we go to.
Reply:When I read your question, my first thought was the hard candies filled with fruit/jelly stuff. But then when you said your preference was chocolate, I wasn't so sure. Then I found this website and remembered Krowki. It should help with the chocolate preference, it is under the "candies" section.

Reply:halinasdeli.com has lots of Polish and other European candies and treats.
Reply:i'm not sure where on the candy but i'd do a google search.

i just wanted to throw in another suggestion from one polish person to another. my very, very, VERY polish family always does shots of krupnik (sp?). it's a polish liquor! quite good too! best wishes

Nail polish cracked on kitchen tiles....?

2009-07-31T05:19:00.002-07:00

I was keeping my nail polish in my refrigerator. When I opened the door, the nail polish flew out and shattered on my tile floor. I was able to get it off the tile, but it has stained the grout! I have used nail polish remover, and a bunch of other cleaning supplies.....but no such luck! Any suggestions on how to clean the grout!!! It makes me sick!

Nail polish cracked on kitchen tiles....?
Why would you keep nail polish in the fridge?

If nail polish won't get it off, you will probably have to use a sander and maybe re-grout. :/
Reply:Fingernail polish contains chemicals that can quickly ruin the surface. Immediately scrape up any excess spill. Dab the area with a cloth dipped in amyl acetate and rinse, but this stain may be permanent.

OR

Wipe up the excess immediately. Wipe the area with a cloth dampened with acetone. Rinse with a damp cloth and wipe dry. If any stain remains, make a poultice of water, 3% hydrogen peroxide, and a mild powder detergent. Apply the poultice to the stain and cover with a damp cloth. When the stain has been bleached out, rinse thoroughly and dry.
Reply:go ask the ladies at walmart in the cosmetics, i used to work there and i swear i couldnt get the nail polish stains off the ground with nail polish remover but the ladies that had been there a while could. i never asked how, all i can think of is try paint thinner
Reply:I keep my nail polish in the fridge too, but I have a box for the bottles...anyway. Try using acetone on the grout. If that doesn't work, try sanding the grout lightly with fine grit paper.
Reply:Scratch it out and re-grout, it's the only way to do it.

You can get small packs of grout from the hardware.

Good Luck.
Reply:you could buy grout stain from any specialty/tile store. They have plain white and custom colors to match your grout. You just paint it over the nail polish....
Reply:grout is way too porius to clean polish out of it, you will have to regrout or use a touch of matching paint.

Black toe nail polish in or emo??

2009-07-31T05:19:00.001-07:00

Lately, it seems like all the "stars" are wearing black toe nail polish. I get magazines where they have best and worst dressed female celebrities. I noticed that 7 out of 8 girls had their toe nails polished black. The one that didnt had her toes covered, so it's still a possibility. Anyway, I went to school with my toe nails painted black, and everyone said I was emo. I'm not typically one to care about what people think about stupid thinks like nail polish...but I just want to know if it's still in or not.

Thanks

(Also: white FINGER nail polish?? Cool or stupid??)

Black toe nail polish in or emo??
Black nailpolish is sooooooooo not Emo. Yeah, emo people may wear it, but look at me! I'm the last thing from emo, my style is Casual Beach Girl, and I wear black, dark purple, dark blue, and more dark colored nailpolish. A lot of the times I wear black. And white nailpolish rocks too! Who cares what other people think, or what the people in magazines are wearing, just be yourself! If you like that color, just go ahead and wear it! No matter what your style is!! ~SeCrEt GiRl
Reply:Awesomeness! That's the way to go :) Report It

Reply:i been that way to staring to love gothic thinks and punk rock and dark rock music to its just a stage
Reply:you know what's in? whatever you like!
Reply:its not emo, i love black nail polish cuz its sophisticated, but to shut them up, where like a dark navy, that still is edgy, but not considered "emo"

i love white nail polish, its trendy now, but i prefer it on my toes. its very spring :]

I love black and i'm not emo at all.

With the white I go like a pearly white that shimmers.

just put on regular white and then put a shimmery clear kind of nail polish. It looks really cute!
Reply:i love both
Reply:Why not care what others think and care WHAT you think if you like it wear it .....Im so sick of this emo fade anyway
Reply:one time i decided to re-dye my hair to its original colour and its really dark brown, so i went about bought "intense dark brown" hair dye and when it was done it looked black and everyone called me emo, though i'm really not.

just ignore it, do whatever you want. emo is just a phase, it'll die off.
Reply:i think its in if you like it! i grew out of the "what style am i?" just wear what you like and let them think whatever they want!
Reply:well idc if its "in" or not

Reply:black on toes i think is cute, and kinda classy.

on fingernails its emo.

Why Polish migrants are working for "nothing " in UK?

2009-07-31T05:19:00.000-07:00

Polish migrants are working for very low rates and are taking our jobs? Because of them I can't get well paid jobs any more? If your company hires one Polish guy he will bring in 10's or 100's more and you will lose your job or you have to works as Poles for "nothing".I have nothing against Polish people, it’s just because of them I’ve been forced to quit or to be more precise I was kicked out from my jobs in 2 companies?

Why Polish migrants are working for "nothing " in UK?
To a point you are correct, sure they have driven down wages and made it difficult for a British person to accept a job on such a low wage. But maybe the real cause is those lazy Brits who refuse to work (I'm not saying you are one of these) and use doctors sick note saying they cant work, or fail to seriously go looking for work, or refuse to take a job saying they are better off on the doll. I must admit the Polls are prepared to work and have been proved to be reliable, so maybe its time for those lazy Brits to have their sick notes or doll money stopped and made to get out there and work. And employers made to pay a decent living wage for this country.
Reply:As Poland is now part of the EU, they won't be working for nothing, they will be receiving the minimum wage. (If not, you can report the employer).

They're here because the minimum wage over here is considerably more than it would be back home (even well educated people in jobs you may see as highly paid in the UK are often better off doing a lower skilled job here than a high skilled job back home)

In which case, if your employer is getting better/more qualified employees, as the same rate as they pay you, why would they continue to employ you?

Maybe you should look into getting yourself some training so that you are not as easily replaceable, or just working harder - sorry to be the bearer or bad news, but any employer is going to want to get a job done by the most keen/well trained people.

The reality of life is that if you're working in an area where the competition for jobs is tough, you need to make yourself more employable. Polish or not, if somebody else wants to do that job more than you do, you will be vulnerable.
Reply:Apparently even our minimum wage is five time more than they get at home. Thats why they work for it.

And to the idiot above who suggested "getting training" to make you less easily replaceable, well perhaps she'd like to explain how exactly to go about that when most of the decent training courses available (such as Computeach, Instructor College) charge over £2,000 for their courses which makes them unaffordable to the average low paid workers (they credit check before they allow you to "spread" payments so many people who have had financial difficulties will not be accepted). My partner is an unskilled van driver and his company don't bother training their drivers to do better paid HGV work etc these days because of the flood of EU migrants willing to work for peanuts.

Unfortunately, many of these migrants have subsequently been found to have forged or invalid licences which puts the safety of the public at risk. But the company would rather hire a Pole with a dodgy licence than invest money in "Training their own" so just how the hell is a young worker supposed to get on in the UK these days?!
Reply:where i work. i used to get paid for over time at the rate of time and a half. that was for anything over my 40 hours. then the poles arrived. overtime rates were stopped. the poles continued to work for 60 hours at flat rate. i suggested to a few of them that if they didnt work, the overtime rate would be restored but they shrugged and said its ok. maybe it is ok for them but not for me so i dont work overtime anymore and i lose out. so if anyone wants to know why i will spit on the immigrants its because they have taken part of my income and i resent that in a big way.

edit i suppose my thumbs down was from dinnerlady who is obviously an immigrant.

why? if the poles are so good, cant they make their own country good?
Reply:i worked next to a firm who employed polish welders and they was cheap employment concidering welders rates but they f*cked up jobs because they couldnt read the plans as they was in english and this cost the firm money many arguments took place mainly because english welders had to sort out their polish collegues problems thus loosing the bonus or having to work harder to compensate

it shows that its ok for cheap polish labour but sometimes it comes at a price
Reply:dont worry son.. their all going

... problem is right.. that us brits are a bunch of lazyy cuntss.... theres LOTS of jobs.. no ones stealing any jobs... its just that the poles are doing the work we dont like... its simple as that my friend... if you want a job, you can easily get one.

oh.. and they work 10 times harder then us... so ... i'd rather employ them TOO
Reply:In response to this "uprising", buy a house in poland, take up a low-paid job in the UK and be the one-eyed man in the kingdom of the blind. At British Nationality salary, you could probably buy an entire Polish apartment block.
Reply:My ex company finds them homes, gives them uniforms, when I had to pay for mine. Taxi's them to and from work. I had to get two busses and a metro, which took 1 and a half hours. The whole family come.
Reply:if you was black you'd get a job straight away. tell your next employees you have polish roots and you'll get a job. welcome to ethnic england love.
Reply:The Polish I have met are not working any cheaper than any other nationality. The only difference I have noticed is that the Polish work hard,, and never seem to doss or take it easy.
Reply:They get paid much more in the UK then they ever will in Poland.
Reply:And our maternity wards are burting at he seems, with pregnant immigrants..Britian is no longer great..get us out of Europe.
Reply:'Poverty' back home, money is still better than they get in Poland. Sad fact of life.

Nail polish!?

2009-07-25T18:57:00.002-07:00

My mom is being really, really, REALLY stupid.

In your opinion, do you think that it is crazy to have bright colors for nail polish [like orange, yellow, hot pink, blue, etc.]

or having your nails w/ all different colors all at once?

=[

Do you also think that it's alright to wear nailpolish to school [Idk my mom is like seriously on her period. She said that I should not wear nailpolish 'till 18! Omg]

[Even though I have nail polish..]

-How long does nail polish last?

-Does it depend on what kind of brand it is?

Thankss =]

Nail polish!?
If you are a young lady, perhaps in elementary school, wearing subtle colors such as pale pinks and such is what your mom thinks is appropriate.

If you are in Jr. High, then I think it's okay to express yourself with nail polish of any color. My daughter is 13, going into 8th grade and has to dress according to the school dress code so letting her wear nail polish of any color is fine with me.

If you paint your nails with a quality base coat, nail polish and another coat of nail polish, then it can last up to a week for me.

My favorite nail polish is O.P.I., it IS the best polish for your $$$$. Good luck with your mom! Just start off with light colors and be patient with her. She is only doing what she thinks is best for you sweetie!
Reply:I am a Mother and if I knew my daughter spoke about me like that...she would be very sorry, believe me. You sound very disrespectful and very immature, for sure. Act like you are mature and not like a spoiled little brat and maybe your Mom will let you try some light colors......Talking like that about your Mom is VERY UNCOOL!
Reply:it lasts about a week to two weeks

i thnk all different depends on your personal style, my fave colors are silver and sweet pea
Reply:WOW. your mom sounds weirdddd. Um. I don't like multiple colors at once, but bright colors are VERY trendy for summer. It usually can only last for a max of 10 days. Most of the time it'll chip in like 3 or 4. Hope i helped :]
Reply:My mommy lets me wear any color nailpolish I want and I'm 13 just like you.If I were you I would start off with basic colors and then do designs with bright colors and then work your way to the bright colors and your mommy might not care.

Hope this helps ♥
Reply:my mom won't let me where nail polish either.

And yes, it does depend on what brand it is how long it lasts and if it chips easily or not.
Reply:You didn't say your age. Did you ask your mother why she feels you should be 18?
Reply:its not crazy it just depends on your style.

it depends on what brand you use on how long it stays.

i started useing nail polish when i was 9 years old

=.)
Reply:Nail polish is amazing. I'm wearing bright blue right now, lol and I'm 16. It usualyl lasts 4-5 days before it starts chipping but it does depend on the brand. And nailpolish is fine for school, especially when u compare painted fingernails to miniskirts an go-go boots.
Reply:nail polish doesnt last that long. and you can always take it off with polish remover. maybe your mom is over reacting. but then again, calling her stupid, you might be over reacting as well
Reply:No, it is not crazy. It let's you express yourself, be creative, and keeps you entertained.

Nail polish on my leather couch I tried to remove it with nail polish remover and the leather started to fade

2009-07-25T18:57:00.001-07:00

My grandson got nail polish on my couch and I do not know how to get it off. It tried polish remover but it started to fade the leather.

Nail polish on my leather couch I tried to remove it with nail polish remover and the leather started to fade
I think your best bet may be to cover it up. With a leather "paint" for example. Call a local leather shop and get advice from them and what types of products they offer. Depending on the color of your leather and where it is located on the sofa will determine how easy this will be for you. After working in a leather shop many years ago, I saw people try everything- permanent marker, shoe polish, paint, etc. Just have to experiment, probably in an inconspicuous spot first, to see what will work. Good Luck!

P.S. No more nail polish around Grandmas couch please! :)
Reply:First, I would beat him within an inch of his life with one of his Barbie’s for ruining the couch. After that, I would use a little rubbing agent and clean the couch as well as I could with one of his skirts. That will teach him to be careless with his fingernail polish again! Report It

Reply:Nail polish remover has an will remove the color from any type of leather.. The area will need to be re dyed. There are leather repair companies that can fix the area. SEE THE BEFORE AND AFTER PIC ON THIS SIGHT. Its identical to your issue..

Nail polish help?

2009-07-25T18:57:00.000-07:00

Any suggestions on what to do with nail polish that has gotten thick and "gloppy"? I have a bottle of polish that is over half full but it has gotten all thick and gooey. I love the color and don't want to throw out a perfectly good polish IF something can be done to save it.

Nail polish help?
You could try thinning it with a polish thinner! In the future here are some tips that you could do to avoid this from happening again:

1- Don't shake your nail polish before using it. This will cause tiny bubbles to appear when u spread it on your nail! Instead, roll it between your palms!

2- Store nail polish in the fridge!

Good Luck!
Reply:i put nail varnish remover in it, but after a week or so it will become all gloppy again
Reply:add varnish remover! it will change a biiiiit the color [more light] but it will be like new again ;o)
Reply:i usually put mine in the refrigerator for a couple of days, always seems to work for my polish. dont know if it'll work for you or not, but its an easy solution to try. i also keep my favorite nail polishes in the fridge so they dont get gloppy.

hope this helps.
