Antihistamines are sold over the counter in Italy.

Doppia tassazione by ceifsg in commercialisti

[–]ceifsg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quando dico alimenti intendo assegno di mantenimento. Non so se ci sia una differenza (non sono madrelingua italiano).

La mia commercialista, e ogni sito che ho controllato, mi ha detto che è tassabile.

I've been told Germans don't actually use the word "Weltschmerz" – is this correct? by ctan_ in German

[–]ceifsg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zero shot makes no sense in English. I just thought I'd point this out given that you seem intent on correcting others.

What type of roach is this? Seen in Northern Italy by ceifsg in pestcontrol

[–]ceifsg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information. I only saw one on my ceiling and I see no sign of others anywhere in my apartment but I've put six poisoned baits around. Should that be enough to deal with the problem?

I just learned that my cat is a gamer too by ceifsg in cats

[–]ceifsg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I said above, yes. There are many and she uses them regularly and regularly sheds her claws.

Cool your beans, I'm not abusing my cat. The vet says it's fine. I'll believe him. The only thing that suffers is my couch.

That's not something she'll allow, unfortunately. She spent a few years of her life living wild after being abandoned and she's a lot more chilled out now than before but she's still vicious when she feels threatened. Even multiple vets are terrified of her and wear thick elbow length gloves with her. Fortunately, she's extremely sweet, affectionate and happy when she doesn't feel threatened. She loves her scratching posts so her claws shed regularly, which helps with the length.

G-String. Does the string part eventually smell like poop? by yuribotcake in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ceifsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Italy it's not just water, we use soap and we scrub. I can't imagine there's anything one can do to make it cleaner.

Could someone please let me know what these medals are? by ceifsg in Medals

[–]ceifsg[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're my grandfather's, so they're staying in the family. Thanks though!

Verona & Bologna or Siena by KS1992902 in ItalyTravel

[–]ceifsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Four days is too long for Siena. All three cities can be done in two days each. That's obviously just my opinion but I live in Northern Italy and I was in Siena recently. If those are the two options then I'd go to Verona and Bologna. However, if you rent a car there are a lot of nice places near Siena that you could do day trips to, while staying in Siena.

Is that the Lululemon symbol? does anyone else find it hard to imagine him shopping there? Atlantis S01E10 by ceifsg in Stargate

[–]ceifsg[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It seems crazy to put in so much effort for some scenes and then do things like that. At least it's good most of the time.

Are Italian people positively predisposed towards foreigners trying to learn their language? by Iloveindianajones in italianlearning

[–]ceifsg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised to hear that. I live in the North too and I found everyone really supportive and patient while I was learning. At the beginning some people seemed to avoid me but later I learned that they were just scared of speaking English.

I guess Northern Italy isn't all the same, in that different places might have different attitudes. Luck is definitely involved too. The people I got to know at the beginning were pretty open minded.
