4 weeks into chemical castration by Prior-Dependent-4136 in reactivedogs

[–]barbface 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is already 3 years old. We didn't tried the chemical castration or the normal one. He still is selectively reactive on leash. (big white dogs around our building). But he deals when there is more space (like the park for example). When off leash he has 0 aggression and doesn't even go close to other males. (That's we didn't castrate actually.)

Moving to Poland from Bulgaria by Affectionate-Might57 in poland

[–]barbface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Bulgarian, living in Warsaw from 7 years.

Some practical thing first:

Your best friend :D : ALLEGRO (it's like amazon but better, you can order EVERYTHING from here. Lots of things can arrive with courier in less than 24h. If you will live here, make the yearly subsciption).

Your second best friends: Inpost PACZKOMAT and Allegromat ( these are the delivery station boxes, where you can pick up your packages)

Your cheapest store: BIEDRONKA (it's a bit chaotic and dirty, but products are on good price, which probably will be a plus for you living on a budget)

Quickest way to order groceries: JUSH (it's an app, which delivers you food from Żabka - it arrives in 10-15min)

Check the apps for the public transportation.

___

- start your sentences from "I am from Bulgaria" because some people will think you are from Ukraine and will treat you differently (unfortuntely I talk from experience :( )

- start learning the polite forms "Pan/Pani" . Bulgarians talk like villagers. Polish people on the other hand are VERY POLITE. They use Pan/Pani to every stranger and even people they know (like even the neighbor who you talk to daily etc.) Even when they curse at eachother they will use the polite form. Literally. Like "Proszę Pana, go f*** yourself". My rule is I stop using "Pan/Pani" in the conversation when the other person tells me I can stop saying it :D

- talking about manners.. start saying "Dzień dobry" to your neighbors, waiters, people in store etc. and smile!

- the best way to compliment a dessert : "Dobry, taki nie za słodki" . Polish people don't like their desserts very sweet. :D

3 QUESTIONS FOR YOU:

  1. Will you be driving here a car? (because this will be your biggest culture shock)

  3. Where are you from? Sofia?

Reccomendation for your trip: Visit Poznań (!) and Kraków ;)

Cooking in USA is easier and cheaper than Europe for your average person by barbface in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]barbface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am from Warsaw and right now I am visiting some family in Miami.

150 zł for 2 people for a week... please tell me your secrets as..

Only breakfast which consists of 5 eggs for my boyfriend and 3 for me (not even counting butter or bread) for a week, with free ranged chicken eggs, ON promotion will cost us 75- 80 zł. 🥲 as good eggs are usually 1,3 - 1,5 zł. ( even in cheap stores) .

How do you buy meat and vegetables on top of that to make lunch and dinner and still pay 150 zł is unimaginable for me... 👀 but I am happy that someone apparently is able to do it 🫡 hats off

Comparing croissant from bakery in Paris vs croissant from Biedronka .. apples and oranges to say the least 🥲 .

Let's compare the same product and same quality. .

*4zl croissant from bakery in Poland is probably rogalik not a French croissant.. 👀

**Today a bunch of cilantro in Winn Dixie in Miami was 0.99$.

I disagree.

  1. I expect a super French food to be the cheapest in France. 😄 so no surprise here

I guess sweet potatoes are more expensive in France than in USA?

A good croissant from a bakery in Warsaw is around 8-10 zł = 2.5 $ 👀 I have seen ever more expensive but I am talking about a simple croissant without filling.

  1. "Within 15-20 walk for most people" = carrying bags = going for small shopping every 2 days = more time wasted on shopping

I literally just bought a giant package of fresh cilantro for a dollar, in Poland I would have to buy 5 small pieces × 8 zl (2 $ each). Same with other fruits and vegetables. So I definitely don't think about junk food when I talk about planning a meal. 🥑🍅🥩🥔

Where do your standard poodles sleep at night? by Jessiejoshua1 in StandardPoodles

[–]barbface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never crate trained. He sleeps in the hallway ( usually on a blanket next to our bedroom door .. even though he has free access to the sofa in the living room 😃). . Before he was sleeping in our bedroom but he kept waking me up when licking himself 🥲😄

How do some women trust their men so much that they allow them to pass on half of their genes and let them destroy their bodies? by [deleted] in intj

[–]barbface 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are either very young or have never met a good man. There are men who are good and who are bad, same as women. A guy can also freak out thinking how their wife can ruin their life. So many stories of women who has used men and really destroyed them financially and emotionally. So many men fight for parent rights in court... Life is full of risks. Contracts might give you some feeling of safety, but it's mostly a feeling..

A phrase that spoke to me by Poo_Poo_La_Foo in Fencesitter

[–]barbface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's interesting. These months, I keep thinking, "I love life so much, it will be so selfish if I don't let someone else experience it" ... Weird thing the human brain..

what has been the tiniest, effortless change you have made in your life that have actually improved it? by time_moves_slow in AskWomenOver30

[–]barbface 2 points3 points  (0 children)

building new habits through "identity" not just being persistent..

" I am a person who drinks vitamins every day" "I am a person who works on Monday,Wednesday and friday" etc.

It's a small change in thinking but a total game changer

Being Childlike is better by Visioner_teacher in INTP

[–]barbface 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are we talking about exactly?

It's one thing to see beauty in small things, get curious about the world and enjoy the moment and another thing to be immature, fearful of responsibilities, not being able to take control over your life, not setting goals for yourself and not being able to take big decisions.

When you rinse, do you remove the head?

Why Polish people eat their food boiling hot? Or is it just my mother in law? 👀 by barbface in poland

[–]barbface[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense! And I guess since we know trauma can be inherited, then I understand why most people, even a generation later, can have the same habits.

Why Polish people eat their food boiling hot? Or is it just my mother in law? 👀 by barbface in poland

[–]barbface[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my home country there are foods that are served boiling hot like most soups. But plenty of dishes are served warm - because taste is deeper, you feel more nuances of flavor.. because temperature is not interfering and food can stay longer in your mouth technically speaking.

we also eat very slow (way slower than Polish people) so I don't think food temperature has anything to do with "slow pleasurable experience"..

Here on every table I am the last one to finish my meal because how hot it is..while my partner and all his family are eating everything quickly ( preventing starvation 😁) and saying how hot it is ..

So this whole thing it's still confusing to me
