Older Italian men are most gracious and generous. Young Italian men and boys are spoiled. I remember seeing 10 year old boy sitting on a crowded tram while his poor mother had to stand up. Italians have wonderful food and great tratorias and restaraunts. Italian girls are sweet. A delightful country!


I bet the grandmother wouldn't have had it any other way! Sons and grandsons are like gold to Italian women, even their sisters etc are taught from a very early age to look after the men folk. I have many Italian friends and the women (all ages) are in the kitchen cooking whilst the men drink, talk and bond.

It doesn't sound ideal but I have to tell you Italian men respect and love their women. It is just that everyone knows their roles in the family. 8)
I also must admit that if it wasn't for Italian immigrants comming to Australia there would be no good restaraunts in Australia!

Do you know there is a long post all about how old you might be? it is fascinating, the guessing goes from like 21 to early fourties :lol: Why dont you answer so I may know if you are my age :?: :lol:
Are you an Aussie or is that a guessing game too?
You shoud check the post about ages of members in here.
You could at least say keep guessing!

I had no idea that there was such a thread. I suppose that over the course of time you will find out everything about me.

Hi everybody!

Thank you for your interest in my survival during the big storm :D
In fact, the situation was a nightmare, expecially the first day on the roads: well, actually it was not so bad (the real storm was later in the night), but the "average" driver is not so skilled when driving in snow... my wife leaved from the university (65 km away) at 6 PM and arrived home at 11 PM!!!
To avoid the traffic jam on the main roads, I went through country roads and everything was fine (bad roads, but NO bad drivers, since everybody decided to stay away from country roads... eh eh!) :wink:

Oh Frengo,

Tell us friend, what did you do to resist the cold weather?????

Do you drink that traditional liquor called "Grapa" or something similar????
