I had the misfortune of watching both of my daughters shed their childhoods far too fast- I won't go into detail, but it came close to murder on my part. They both overcame it, but I would not wish it on any child.Thor wrote:It's interesting how much older Atsali looks than her peers.

Death of a parent at a young age does that to you. Double that and add in the orphanage thing and you get what we saw back at the Library two years ago.Thor wrote:It's interesting how much older Atsali looks than her peers.

Pirogi, I believe, is the Polish for them. I learn from a Russian Babushka, but they are also quite popular among Saxons, Hessians and Prussians. Any man that can eat more than three is a serious troughman.DinkyInky wrote:Hey Sarge, what's a piroshki? Not being funny, it's just...Sgt.

Kapusta i kiełbasa, ziemniaki i ser, grzyby i ziemniaki, owoce pierogi rozumiem...but the only thing I managed to find with my google-fu was similar to what Americans consider a Kolach, and appetising it's not.
I'm half Polish and love the simple foods of the region to clarify my reason for asking.
... I wouldn't pick my nose with a tortoiseshell pick... actually, I don't know how to use a flat pick. I finger-pick without the clip-ons in true classical tradition.

Drops a tortoiseshell pick in the pun jar. Can't afford to get caught with it. This lets the jar take the heat.
I got it in the will as a keepsake... I was part of the team that removed it... everybody else got caught...AnotherFairportfan wrote:So you're the one who got it when Bob Bloch died.Sgt.
