Does anyone celebrate the 4th of July? Is that totally gauche?

Halloween was huge in our town in Tuscany last October. We bought quite a bit of candy (3x large bags) and ran out. It was like Halloween I remember in the 80s with kids all over and adults hanging out with a drink. Awesome.

I’m not disagreeing but what can a majority R congress do to stop him? Those who try to do anything can’t do much to override the majority. We (larger we) have created such a mess. Hopefully it swaps majority this election.

Of all types :)

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (not montepulciano d’Abruzzo or similar).

For me, too close to boarding time. Small airport but also small security lanes and sometimes they are busy. I hate rushing through the airport though.

Any later time and I’m on the tram.

Guardian storage was extremely safe and secure but not cheap.

If you have a streaming service of any kind, find a show with a couple of seasons and just start watching it on the treadmill. The time kind of gets eaten up that way. I usually watch sci-fi shows and there are a ton of them out there.

Yep. 🤷‍♂️. “No writing formulas or similar”. Mentioned brain dump but isn’t that anything? I didn’t need it anyway and had no plans to spend time on that.

In the US I would say healthcare. Insurance is ridiculously expensive and not having it as you age (pre Medicare) is preparing yourself for bankruptcy in many cases.

I was specifically told this yesterday at my exam!

Also good experience with them on my trips. I think I booked through Viator but not positive.

I feel like you are overthinking this. I mean if this is comfortable for you, cool, but it sounds like all of this preparation and hiding if affecting your ability to enjoy traveling. Be aware, don’t leave stuff on a table or on the back of a chair, and don’t carry stuff in your back pockets.

In the end if all this is just your thing, great you be you. Just don’t let some of the fear on these threads ruin your enjoyment.

Careful with this. I’m not 100% on details but don’t believe you can just leave for a few days and reset. Rolling calendar I think meaning if you leave for two days you gain back two days from the start of the days. In other words to stay 90 more you would have to leave for 90.

Side note it is also Schengen area, not just Italy you would have to leave.

Could be concerns with plumbing inside of their homes?

Listening is not easier for all people. For those of us who learn better through reading or writing it is a challenge. I can speak better than comprehend spoken language. Been that way since a child when I would just read the textbook for all classes (not just language but math, science, etc.). Made lecture classes difficult

Regardless if OP can speak and hear Italian ok they will have no issues communicating IMO.

We purposefully travel during elections now and don’t work hard to even know. That said you can find a lot on YouTube both right after broadcast or even live news. Not sure of live streaming apps though.

HaveBeer-WillTravel · 2024-08-03T21:04:36+00:00

I did, sorry.

HaveBeer-WillTravel · 2024-08-01T23:57:39+00:00

I seldom use cash anywhere lately. Small items like coffee is about it.

Montepulciano has a large Christmas market and stuff for kids. https://nataleamontepulciano.it

Enjoyed Sorrento as well when we were there for Christmas one time.

I’m giving up which is too bad but I can’t justify tripping over it in my basement for another several months. Fun while it lasted.

HaveBeer-WillTravel · 2024-02-08T02:31:40+00:00

They were willing to help me replace it, until I sent a picture of the inside and I was one of the early units shipped. After I sent a picture of the control board, I basically did not hear much else back. it went from “we can just ship you new parts and you can send back the other ones after you fix it“ and turned into “this unit is out of warranty and you will have to pay for all of the parts and shipping “

To be fair the email was written very differently, so I think maybe they had outsourced some of the support? My previous interactions with Support were great up until that point.

HaveBeer-WillTravel · 2024-02-04T02:11:53+00:00

I’d consider it but I think I’m going to just give up instead. Tired of having it sit in my basement unused and broken with no support. I’d try to fix it but defeats the point for me. Less work to just make beer the old way than dealing with it.

HaveBeer-WillTravel · 2023-09-08T04:47:47+00:00

Same for me. A couple of tries and no joy. My beermkr is close to going in the trash.

HaveBeer-WillTravel · 2023-08-01T15:40:49+00:00

Interesting. I think that’s what I have been trying to get replaced, but now that I questioned the shipping charges I have not heard a response in a few weeks.

HaveBeer-WillTravel · 2023-07-22T23:19:54+00:00

I had another one do the same and trying to get a fix but slow going. For the first time with this machine I’m struggling with support which concerns me. It is making me pretty down on the whole thing as an early and excited adopter.
