There were also no giant refrigerators because only the people shopping in the PX or commissary were buying gallons of ice cream or milk or boxes of cereal the size of an infant.
I had to rig a step down transformer to get it to work as it was American, thus wired for 110. It was my one indulgence, and my biggest piece of furniture. The stove/range was one of those bottle gas things you see all over southern Italy and Mexico. Anyone there who had what I have here in the US would immediately open a restaurant. :) |

So close, but not there yet.
In fact, it now seems to have run out of gas. Maybe it's time to put it out of it's misery. :innocent: |

I bought a fridge from some officer who was leaving and didn't want to ship it home. One Italian moving guy carried it down four flights of steps in a walk up apartment building using his hands under the bottom frame rail and a band around the box and his forehead.

...there's a pristine Santana tandem in the window of City Bikes here, (blue, shiny, clean as a whistle) with TA cranks and Suntour shifting that is marked $800, but when I asked about it the kid said they were at the "taking offers" stage (the rains have started here.) 58 c-c in front and about 55-56 c-c in back. It;s a darn good thing my garage is full. :o #gorgeous |

You and I have shared some of your most memorable times here on BF, ol' pal. :hug: Can I get you a coffee or anything? |

Wait. Are you saying that a TV industry award can be described as prestigious?
I suppose I have to admit that Modern Family is every bit as good as Survivor: Botswanaland. |

This place is huge. I went for a walk and it took me an hour to wind through it all. There are multiple "trim" levels of timeshares here, they share facilities for the most part except you can only use the pools at your trim level or lower. There is a main entertainment complex, several bars and some shows at night. It's called the Santuario.

Grand Bliss lobby. The Grand Bliss is the second highest trim level at this resort.

BillyD, you are a madman. When you stole that cow, and your friend tried to make it with the cow. I want to party with you, cowboy. If the two of us together, forget it. I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I'm gonna volunteer my leadership to this forum. A forum without leaders is like a foot without a big toe. And 3alarmer isn't always gonna be here to be that big toe for us. I think that we owe a big round of applause to our newest, bestest buddy, and big toe... 3alarmer. |
