Yaaaay!!! Hi Sin!
It's good to see you here, I'm glad you figured out your password. For translation sites, I just use google translator. It's "ok" when I'm talking to someone one to one, but it is somewhat difficult to follow conversations. About the only real good thing it has going for it is it's free.....but on a good note, I have now started to recognize certain words and can 'sometimes' figure out the gist of a conversation before using the translator. So if I'm ever fortunate enough to visit Italy, I'll have to make sure to bring a notepad so I can converse. 
Ciao Gold....thanks for the kind words. I love your pictures....the eagle is very cool. When were you in Switzerland? And your other pictures? I have some pictures on my phone that I wanted to share, but my phone isn't working right and I was unable to download my pictures today. I'm going to have to set up the email and send them to my computer that way. When I do, I'll post a few.
Roberto, ciao! Where was your picture taken? It's beautiful. The scenery, not the dog....although the St. Bernard is very cute. 
no offense to roberto, but the funniest so far are on your legend has it thread, which is a GREAT thread!
Oh yes...Roberto is the creator of many great threads....and they are always very popular. Just ask him.
Seriously though, there are a lot of nice people here....most don't seem to be easily offended. And Roberto is one
of the nicest.
