4. Sorry

I was a history major.

Not a math major.

Corrected on edit.

However, it sure felt like 22 years, didn't it?

Thanks Skinner, I'm honored that you read my thread.

5. Paesino? It's not "paesina"?

But yes, a fitting ethnicity for launching our Renaissance?

Paesina on edit.

I guess I need somebody to proof read my posts.

I'm just giddy about Tuesday night.

This landslide has me intoxicated without any help.

8. For our english speaking Friends

That means "congratulations"

Now, I hope she's sicilian, because they really know how to do revenge.

I'm calabrese, we're only minor league on revenge.

So I am very proud of her.
