LOL!<BR/><BR/>Pietro - I agree wholeheartedly with you. I think Woody Allen had it right when he said we should live life backwards, starting out old and getting younger and younger!<BR/><BR/>Nobu - yes, they are expensive here, too.<BR/><BR/>jm - maybe Hilda has the right idea!<BR/><BR/>Hilda - Families taking care of their own is the norm here in southern Italy, too. But the increase in women working combined with people's decreased willingness to sacrifice their busy lives to stay home with the old has led to an invasion of "caretakers" from Eastern Europe, who fill in that gap quite efficiently.Sarettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467303139294282551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337461294365425949.post-70749446563698831092008-11-14T14:04:00.000+01:002008-11-14T14:04:00.000+01:00Oh, and I think you're pretty! :)Oh, and I think you're pretty! :)Hildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572824685124656116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-337461294365425949.post-71805598030406825292008-11-14T14:03:00.000+01:002008-11-14T14:03:00.000+01:00The better to keep in touch with their loved ones,...The better to keep in touch with their loved ones, my dear! :D<BR/><BR/>You know, I don't think we have private retirement homes in Manila.
