To be honest (hides from the Italian man), I prefer to read a book as an escape if I get a minute. A cup of tea and a book....

Any suggestions or informational sources would be appreciated.
When I had the flipping spinal tap, I have gotten the same type of headache as migraine. I was told by my neurologist and the nurse who did the test to consume caffeine in big quantities. If migraine is that similar, then black teas should help you China black teas....yummy! Not all the medicine is yucky!

What a superb taste you have!

You will meet your other half when it is supposed to happen. Not a minute sooner or later. I met my OH when I was 26. There was 3.000 miles between us and a few other insuperable obstacles. However, you cannot escape fate.
Re: bad examples.
My parents will celebrate 51 years together in 13 days.
My brother is married for 25.
My mother in law has been married three times. Only second time was lucky but he died of cancer Otherwise she has never been happy with men. That's why she never believed in me.

Don't hasten the fate. She will find you when she/he/you are ready.
If you are patient, you will never regret




Pure joy reading this thread. Beppe, you are the gentleman!
Gotta run to meet my better 24/33. After that I will post the second part of London.
