20 years ago! She would have been 10 years old. My wife is 30 and I'm 33. But that's not your point. I wouldn't say she was offended but rather...I guess weirded out by the overt Itallian attention. Just not used to that kind of attention around these parts. And your point about the Itallians whistling is very accurate. But that's not the main reason why she's tentative about making the move. To be honest, I don't think she's even considered it. That stems out of my own head and from the "horror stories" I've heard. Which I will chalk up to just that, stories. It's more about leaving her home and her family. I think most of us can relate to that. For me it's easy. I haven't spoken to my own family in 5 years so that's easy! We'll see how it goes. First thing I guess is agreeing on an offer that would be worth my while. If it's only for what I make here why bother. It would have to be financially rewarding. And as another poster said, I'd have to be sure of the agency. If I'm doing..."lemoncheese" as he put it then that would be a step backward in my career. Which then would not make me very marketable when I want to make the return trip home. In which case, again I might as well stay home.
