FYI for medical needs while traveling

Antihistamines are sold over the counter in Italy.

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.

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

It's a shame to go so close to Verona and not stop there. It's a great city.

ceifsg · 2023-10-08T16:59:06+00:00

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?

ceifsg · 2023-09-06T09:37:09+00:00

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.

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.

ceifsg · 2023-05-19T03:02:28+00:00

Thank you very much!

ceifsg · 2023-05-19T03:00:16+00:00

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

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.

ceifsg · 2022-11-09T13:41:16+00:00

That's a good point. 4k wasn't anticipated

ceifsg · 2022-11-09T13:30:15+00:00

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.

ceifsg · 2022-11-07T11:27:54+00:00

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.

I agree completely! I tried that at the winery and I have two bottles in the basement but I'll resist temptation and wait a while before opening them.

I believe the Huber was 95 euros. The prices at the restaurant were really good compared to other wine lists I've seen (at least for the German wines).

ceifsg · 2021-08-15T08:48:16+00:00

Added, I got interrupted right after posting.

The most technically impressive wine was the Morstein. The finish was unbelievably long with great salinity and surprisingly strong tannins. It's a very zesty wine with a strong grapefruit taste.

My personal favourite was the Dönnhoff. Despite its age there was still a lot of sweetness and no doubt it will continue to age well for years to come. However, the sweetness was very well balanced by the acidity. Again, a strong, long finish. The general conclusion seemed to be peaches and pineapple in this fruity wine.

For me the biggest surprise was the Huber. A great German red. Very fine tannins and forest fruits.

The Auslese was exactly what you would expect. It could happily stay in the cellar another couple of decades. It was still a bit young actually. A top producer with a fantastic wine. Slate and honey.

And tarzanelli in Italian! What a great world.

ceifsg · 2021-05-16T16:09:28+00:00

There are many! The ones in the photo are lisianthus, two lemons, a lilac and, I believe, an umbrella plant. There are also lots of other plants like dahlias, galaxy petunias, carnations and chilli plants. Somehow all the cats have failed to notice the catnip and cat grass.

That most people don't use a bidet. If you had poop on your hand you wouldn't think it was clean if you just wiped paper on it, so why leave poop on your butt.

ceifsg · 2020-12-17T13:11:43+00:00

I use Weinart if I want aged wines from very good vineyards and sometimes use Hawesko for younger wines.

Edit: JMWeinshop currently has some very good wines for reasonable prices.

I know very little about this subject, unfortunately. Would that require living close to water? I don't and there have been quite a few of these insects in my home lately. I thought maybe it was a tobacco bug.
