Life is too short for this kind of S&*t i am now off to plan my next holiday to italy and another to Upstate NY, i am quitting FODORS (much to your delight) i have had some wonderful times and have been given excellent advice by fellow fodorites, but you know something, my grandfather used to say this, you are good on paper but in real life you are just like the rest of us. HUMAN. Goodbye FODORS

goodby C,

Write if you find work.

Solution: round them all up and put them to work pulling chariots and picking up all those rocks laying around the Forum.

"clarice"....hannibal ? lambs ? , why does this name ring a bell?


"life is too short"...true true true.

An excellent idea, spend it somewhere else.
Italy should be 'thief free" as I think is Upstate NY.

I live here in Italy and, I have to say that stereotyping does suck but, gypsies run rampant here. In the summer time, I cannot get on the ferry to check my mail without having kids knock on my car window and just stand there waiting for money. In Rome, Florence, Paris etc, gypsies are everywhere. Is it only gypsies that do this? NO but, that is their way of life. So, if there are lectures on stereotyping, maybe the type of person should be considered. If it is a gypsy, they spend their time hitting up tourists and those of kind heart for money...period no stereotyping.
What is worse is that the people who are begging usually stand by churches praying on the kind hearted. Plus they probably know that it is a considered a sin to christians, at least catholics, to pass up someone in need.

Dont need to work ira, inhereted millions. yahoo. im outta here. as you americans say

Bonjour degas!
How are you?
Muchas hugs! S((F))

see i told you so.!!!!!!!

Look out Barnball7, you could be in for a character assination. Have you hugged a gypsy today?

Scarlett, you are sure up mighty early. I thought you slept late on Saturday and had the Yankee fix you breakfast in bed?

clarice, when did you say you were leaving? (or outta here as the Irish must say)

I'm confused. Aren't churches where one is <i>supposed</i> to pray?

La, degas, I have no idea why I am up at this ungodly hour!! I just woke up and bounced out of bed and hit the Fodors button!

:D
