I am Sicilian, with grandparents (on both sides) from Sicily, as well as my father who was born in Trapani and came to America as a child). My one regret is that I never learned Italian,other than a few words. If I heard a conversation I might be able to pick up what is was about, but don't understand it. With parents, grandparents that spoke it constantly, I could kick myself for not attempting to learn it. TIS

I'm the odd one here. Not a drop of Italian blood. I'm a WASP from the rural Midwest, so there are only a few around here. But I must say some of the most bellisimo women in the world are Italian, and if any of you are reading this, you have my admiration.

Well, it's not often, but every once in awhile, usually on a friday night, after I've gotten pretty drunk, I take off my pants and put on something pretty and alot of rouge and go out. So, for those nights, I accept your compliment!

Being adopted I have no idea what's in my blood Would any one of you Italians make me an honorary one please?

Gee, Mig, thanks. OK, Once you're in the room, agree to a cup of espresso. Whenever you go to an Italian's house, they want to make you "una tazza di cafe", a cup of coffee. When I first took Mr. Babe and I first went to Sicily to see my family back in 1989, my cousin took us to visit the homes of different relatives. At each house, we had to have a cup of coffee. Finally, after the 5th house in a row, Mr. Babe said he thought that his heart was going to come out of his chest.

"una tazza di cafe" I try that with Col. Slade tonight. Thanks again Mrs. Babe. Can you PM me some Italian words? That way this Summer we can have an Italian conversation. I just love that language. And could you put some cuss words in there to so I can cuss at Col. Slade when he ticks me off? If I had to drink that many cups off coffee I'd be spending the rest of the night in the little girls room
