      I fought my family on this for a couple years. Told them if they need to "give" me something, make a charitable donation to any charity that gets gifts for needy kids. I give my nieces presents (they obviously are still kids) and that's it. I prefer family time.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          Met a Polish Jew who survived WWII with her brothers and sisters last year. They were from Lomza. (Northeast of Warsaw) Pulled it off primarily in the wilderness. One of the other people asked why the wilderness and not hiding away like the Franks, to which the response was "Poland ain't Holland."

          Someone else said, "Oh wow, it was like that then?"

          Her response, "Now. Poland ain't Holland."

              Driving home from Ithaca Sunday I stopped for gas and food on 476 in Central PA. Overheard at the counter:

              "... I've been protesting the NFL all my life. You know what N. F. L. stands for, right?"

              Followed by exactly what you think.

              This wasn't somebody quoting the Johnstown story. It was an original contribution.

                This could as easily have been Poland, Slovakia, Belarus, or Ukraine:

                  So as a non Jewish person who has been to most European nations, I found the poles to be some of the most rude and unpleasant people in general. Way worse than the French.

                    The French get a bad rap. Parisians are as-holes. Everybody else in France is super nice (and is attracted by your se-xytime American moneys).

                    Paris : France :: the northeast : the US

                    2. French (non-Parisians)
                    3. Irish girls

                      Yeah I remember you ranting about the Poles many times

                      Being that my Grandma was Polish it makes me sad.

                        I had no issue with Parisians, and is the NE really worse than Chicago? Chicago is at the top of my rudest people in the US list, well beyond NY City and Philly, but haven't been to the rest of the NE.

                          With exception to one man in Austria, everyone I met was very nice. The English were all over the place. And some of them, I swear, weren't really speaking English.

                              I've only been to Chicago briefly so I can't say, but the Boston-to-Baltimore corridor is off the charts for loathsome people. It's not just the cities, either -- the people in the towns and villages in between are little sh-ts, too.

                                I felt like I was in worlds most beautiful old folks home in Vienna. Everything looked so pristine and beautiful and nearly everyone seemed old.

                                I was living in Berlin at the time and laughed in the Austrians faces when they tried to tell me how destroyed Vienna was in the war.
