Are congrats in order? If so, CONGRATS!

They're wrong on George Bailey. He never recovered from being deaf in one ear from saving his brother. BTW - I love that the "Bert & Ernie" muppet names come from this movie (Cop & Cabbie).

You mean like "Pepsi and Moxie"?

This happened so many times for me. I think I only got to do it once as a Mgr.

I know the feeling about having a place close. There was a shop in the Chicago Suburbs that I used to get Biala and Kishka for my Dad & ship it to them. Just before he passed away, I checked the website and found a bunch of Yelp posts saying they'd just closed all the sudden. There was a sign up stating they were going to open in a new site, but that disappeared after a couple days. The website is still functioning & has rotating daily specials, but the place never reopened and the phone number is defunct. A lot of the refrigeration equipment is still there...or was as of the last pic someone posted. Even the local paper found it strange. https://kalinowskideli.com/sausages.html

Do you really want Rachel Maddow coming at you with a razor?

Biala (can be fresh or smoked) Wiejska (I think it's always smoked, but I could be wrong)

Not wrong - I was saying that Biala Kielbasa is what most know as Kielbasa from a grocery chain store. My Dad was rather partial to Kishka (as in the polka standard, "Who Stole the Kishka?"). You or I might know the difference between biala, wiejska, kishka, etc. but most won't and will only associate kielbasa as the biala kind. And don't get me started on the schlubs that think an oversized hot dog (aka "a Polish") is genuine kielbasa. HARUMMMPH!

I think there used to be a brand name grill called "Hibachi" (like Weber is a grill brand), so that might have lent to the confusion for some.

Polish-Ukranian & German-Irish-Scot...I got the stubbornness yatzee!

Well, that's just being sensible.

Not only predates the Bloc, but there are variations world-wide. Or don't you like potstickers either?

Groovy, man. Far out!

Can't eat them - Fructose. My dad had the same issues, but by the time he found out, he had stage 4 cancer, so it wasn't the main problem.

Did you mean pierogies? My dad used to like the plum filled *shudder*. I'm good with the potato/potato & cheese filled.

You do know the translation of Kielbasa is "sausage", right? Most grocery stores drop the "Biala" (translated as "White") from what is considered to be traditional Polish Kielbasa. In short, they weren't wrong. You got sausage, so you got kielbasa.

Old saying was "Smoke follows beauty".

Fictional character. I was only including actual people, so feel free.
