if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

December 12, 2011, 12:12:31 PM
Hi all. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm female, 39, grew up in Maryland but have been living in Italy with my partner for the last 14 years. My mother tried to raise me Catholic, but I never believed any of it, even when I was really little. I finally rebelled at 13 and refused to be confirmed.
Here in Italy, my partner is Catholic (as are most people here), but I see the Italian Catholicism as much more moderate and related to real life compared to the religious fanatics you see in America. But we have our moments of disagreement, and especially now at Christmas things tend to rear up (slight disagreements, not fights, we generally respect each other's beliefs or lack of).
I love movies, books, writing, computers, animals,hiking (after many years of being reluctantly dragged along...)
I was happy to find this forum and look forward to talking to you.

Hello, welcome.
I don't recall anyone else being from Italy.
There's a picture thread if you have any from where you are.

Hi Trammel

Anywhere near Milan? That's the only bit of Italy I have been to.

Thanks for making the effort to sign up and join in.

Welcome to HAF.

Welcome, Trammell.  Out of curiousity, did you go to Italy and find your partner, or the other way around?

I'm waiting for the movie of my life to be made.  It should cost about $7.23 and that includes the budget for special effects.

Hi!

I also don't recall any recent posters being from Italy. It'll be nice to have your perspective added to our global mix  ;D
welcome!

Oops, my bad.
