i am truly pitiful with chess, sorry! but i am a wizard ( well. witch) with anything math related like cribbage or monopoly or gambling games like poker. i don't gamble with those though, it isn't fair. 

  i had 2 italian uncles and 3 portuguese uncles when i was a youngster, they are a big part of the reason i'm a very good cook, lol! 

i speak better portuguese than italian, but that is due to those uncles living longer. i am now trying to learn latin spanish, with very little success. 🙂
