When my family first moved from Italy we got fooled by the fact that the state was very much our nationality. We had no idea that there was a difference from real Italians with culture and class while most of it was the "triguido" area with lots of "yo yo YO"ing and Jersey Shoring going on.

We did very well and it's too late. Joined the family business, am very successful in what I do and to transplant and move would be terribly life altering. It's too late. My vehemently anti communist mother who counter protested in the 60's against the reds keeps berating my father about "YOU MOVED TO THE COMMUNIST CAPITAL OF THIS COUNTRY FULL OF ZOTICONI". I love that word "Zoticone", look it up, says everything you need to know about RI Italo-Americans. That said I went to school here, had a really good life met my wife here and have a good life so I can't complain too much.

Am looking for a way to have my cake and eat it too. And if I ever have to get rid of my guns for good when they ban them all I still adore doing Kancamagus centuries (100 mile bike rides) or hiking 4000+ footers in the fall. They will probably require registration of boots and a license for bikes. You just wait and see.

[QUOTE="CA139, post: 8218166, member: 70927"] When my family first moved from Italy we got fooled by the fact that the state was very much our nationality.
