It looks so good! Mom said that dad was giving a hand getting some painting done, but she didn't tell me he was painting pink! We've already bought some stuff for our favorite niece, but if you can think of ANYTHING at all that you and A might like for the room or where ever, let us know. We haven't sent the package yet (they told us 90 euros, I'm going to fight this one), but I can't wait until you get it! Hope all is going well! Love all of

Mi Sento Colpevole in Marriage JoeUser Forums

Headaches. I've got enough of them already yet they keep multiplying. Today, however, I think I finally put two and two together. I may have figured out how to tell I am getting a bad headache. This morning I woke up, not in a bad mood, but just lethargic and a little irritable. I couldn't place my finger on it, but I knew that I just wasn't feeling too we

Reply to Lets eat Spaghettis & Pizza in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

It was a good, hard fought battle. It was played with passion on both sides, which is what makes a great game. Zidane, however, completely 100% deserved the red card. One of Italy's kep players was knocked out of the tournament during the US/Italy game for an eldow to the face of McBride. At least in that situation in was the mist of the action, what Zidane did was just stupid. He let his emotions get the best of him, he ruined his own last game. He al

It was AMAZING! We watched the game from a villa on a mountain just south of Florence. After the game we were able to see all the fireworks, here the explosions and car horns going off. As we drove back to Scandicci, there were tons of cars and vespas running up and down the streets carrying Italian flags etc... The town was rocking (and still is, it's 1am). The game was great! Viva Italia!

FORZA ITALIA! We're in Florence right now, about to go pick up some pizzas and go to some friends to see the big game. If Italy wins, this town is going to explode!

I too was brought up to address people respectfully, but I don't think I really got the hang of it until I began to learn Italian. They have two "formal" modes of address. If it is just a normal person that you don't know that well (it could even be a person that you see and talk to every day, but you don't share intimate detials of life with them) you always address them in the third personal singular fem. (i.e. she/her), if it is an older person (at

Awesome tattoo! I have a really good friend who is full blood Native American Indian, at this moment I can't remember what tribe (I guess you would call it) he is from. The Italians LOVE him! He makes jewelry and break dances. Oh, way to stand up for the lady. Rock on.

Reply to So long Larry Brown, thanks for nuthin' in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

I agree with Moderateman, I personally have never been a fan of the Knicks, but they were always a staple in the playoffs. I used to love them play the Bulls. Their history is so rich, I long to seem them return to a respectable ball club.

Reply to There IS Justice! in Basketball JoeUser Forums

Kobe Bryant is an example of why the NBA should stop drafting high school players. I tend to agree with this statement. Not only are most (not all, but most) high school turned pro players lacking in the basic fundamentals of the game, they are heavily lacking in maturity, either in the field of persona

I too was following along via web. I really wanted to see the game, but Italy was playing at the time. I think we should all be very proud of the heart that our guys put into it, especially after that first lost. Sorry I stole your article.

Well, USA is officially out of the World Cup race. They gave it their all and I, for one, am very proud of our team. US soccer has a bright future. In the mean time, I can continue to root for my other "home" team, Italy! I didn't get to see any of the US/Ghana game, but got to see a good part of the Italy/Czech game. Every time Italy scored the whole town s

Update: Just took a cold shower, excatly 35 seconds after I got out of the shower, I was sweating again. What I would do for even a swamp cooler... Some of the fancier department stores here have them and even advertise it on their front door. But they never turn it on. It's a cultural thing that makes me hot just thinking about it....argh....

It’s a preview of hell, I just know it is. It is so freakin’ hot here, it’s unbelievable. Usually I’m not one to whine too much. I did grow up in the Texas Panhandle where we unhooked our stove top during the summer and fried on our concrete slab at the front of our house in the shade. I can stand the heat, but this time I’m getting out of the kitchen! It’s o
