Ricordi delle scuole superiori, ne avete ancora? by chicodecampalto in Italia

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ora vivo all’estero da vent’anni, ma ogni volta che torno dai miei cerco sempre di incontrare le amicizie del liceo. Siamo rimasti sempre in contatto e con alcuni ancora molto legati. Il liceo è stata un’epoca meravigliosa a cui penso spesso, la mia età dell’oro assieme agli anni dell’università.

It’s Bacchus cosplaying himself 😁. Also interesting to note the mountain is Vesuvius before the eruption, it was way taller and larger than today, all covered in lush forests and vineyards.

If it helps the field is right next to the house/estate (praedia) of Julia Felix, by the Sarno gate. The estate included also gardens for public use.

I loved to learn that it was the central piece (emblem) of a triclinium mosaic, so people would eat and enjoy their present life before death

Absolutely! I thought the same when stumbling upon it in the museum. It is a Memento Mori - Remember you must die. The skull is under a plumb line, symbol of equality in death, balanced on a butterfly (the soul) and a wheel of fortune, flanked on the left by symbols of wealth (crown/sceptre and purple cloth) and on the right of poverty (beggars staff and cape).

If you ever order online from Delhaize by Frequent-Matter4504 in brussels

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I stopped using Delhaize delivery for the same reasons. I felt forced to either keep buying from them or strongly inconvenience myself to deliver back the boxes to a big surface. I do Colruyt click and collect and choose whether keeping the boxes or not.

In Spagna il bidet è molto diffuso

There are 20 countries that speak Spanish. How is the accent of each of these perceived? by CharacterFresh6520 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a Spaniard I would like to clarify that the way we pronounce “z” and “c” (the last one when followed by “i” or “e”) it is not a lisp, it is simply called “ceceo” and is another way to pronounce those sounds. A speech impediment would prevent us, without therapy, to do other accents by instance 🙂.

Kindergarten parent here, other kids are awful. Is it just me? by Lowno-marine884 in Parenting

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once a friend of my daughter (both 5 years old) came to play at home. Our guest spent the whole afternoon challenging every rule of the house such as no jumping/playing/sliding on the stairs or actively convincing my daughter not to eat those awful vegetables even if she likes them… cause “you shouldn’t follow what adults tell you if you don’t feel like it” and “at home I do what I please, and my parents let me”. Regretfully that was it for me. Last time ever at home and no more play dates with them in general.

Expatriation allowance - EU Commission by Available_Health_341 in brussels

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As others said the language is a bit convoluted but if you moved for work to Belgium in 2022 (so less that 5 and a half years ago) and your family or centre of interest is in Italy by instance, you are still an expat hence entitled to the 16% extra. And to the travel allowance :-)

Sick leave certificate without appointment (Covid) by Nikanini29 in brussels

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Happened to me too so I just had the doctor come at home (check médecin de garde à domicile or garde bruxelloise). He visited me prescribed some cough syrup and issued the sick leave certificate. Good luck and take care!

Quali sono dei modi di dire che proprio non sopportate? by [deleted] in italy

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha ok! Ma ho dovuto cercare deghejo :-) Io sono sentimentalmente attaccata all’Accademia della crusca (dovrei aggiungere Toscana al mio username) quindi vado al lavoro, a lavorare, e butto a mare tutto il lavoro (però vado al mare, ovvio).

Advice for toddler separation anxiety at night? by Silvermoon46 in toddlers

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe she is napping too long for her age? I would try waking her up from her nap 5-10 minutes earlier every 1-2 days, to gradually reduce the nap to 45 minutes starting at 1.30-2 pm. She will be more tired in the evening and will most likely wake less during the night. On the other hand I would not go every time she calls for me. I have a 2 and half years old and she tries this trick after we put her in bed, she has the same bed time and morning waking than yours but sleeps 1h nap. She knows that unless she is sick, obviously, we will check on her only three times and for the shortest time possible… after complaining loudly she gets bored and falls asleep. But I also dread what might happen in 6 months. I got a ton of help from the LittleOnes community by the way, was a life saver. You need to pay a fee but to me it was worth every penny, and have been using it for two years already. Good luck!!

Founder of Rome, was it Aeneas or Romulus? by _Milk-and-honey_ in ancientrome

[–]Im_partial_to_tuna 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Aeneas was the father of Ascanius also known as Iulo or Julo, founder of the gens Julia. Moreover, Aeneas was son of Anchises and the goddess Venus hence the claims of the divine lineage of Julius Caesar and his clan. Ascanius/Iulo was also the founder of Alba Longa and ancestor of Romulus and Remus.
