I ALWAYS fill up on my "stash" of OTC drugs when I am the States. I am starting to get low, thank goodness that my Mom will be here in a week to refill my stash! I have to force myself to stop saying "Well in America this only costs this...in America this is so much cheaper...." or my husband might strangle me. Not only were things cheaper, but people (in general) make more money. Sigh, now I am really homesick. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE living in Italy. I just wish it wasn't so $$$$$! Cyn PS.

The bottled water is very expensive though and so is the wine, but I'm not much of a drinker anyway so haven't even looked to buy that stuff yet. (and I use a Brita water filtration system).

WE SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT GASOLINE PRICES!!! We should also begin to produce our own gasoline and oil using coal gasification (just as Germany did in WWII and South Africa does today). We have enough coal to supply our gasoline needs for hundreds of years. The cost of a barrel of oil from coal gasification is $35 per barrel. The cost from Saudi Arabia on Friday was $69 per barrel. 8O Both of you have already given Americans a great lesson. WE SHOULD STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT GASOLINE PRICES!!!

The problem is, we have less free time, despite we're not currently working (yet), because we're organizing our lives. So we also had less time for this great hobby, blogging. I will.
