    My dad Still a construction worker, my Mom still a house cleaner and she now drives a BMW X5 let's see a Portuguese house cleaner in Portugal (she'd most likely probably be from Ukraine or something) do that.

    That's really nice :)

    I'm going to rep you when I can, I actually got teary eyed. I'm calling my mom and dad when I get home, in fact I think we should all do the same :)

    I came here in 96 on my own, since then i greaduated from College, bought a house, bought a SUV, have a good managerial job, got married and have a kid. I guess you could say that i am living the american dream.

    I love Portugal, all my family is there, but i would not trade living in Toronto for nothing. I love the city and the people, plus i am so used to the north american way.....when you don't get what you want, you call customer service!!! :D

    You go girl! ;) My mother-in-law also cleans houses (unfortunately does not drive a Beemer though :rolleyes: ). My father was a construction worker and my mom was a seamstress. And, you guessed it, I'm also very proud of them; I would not be who I am today without their hard-work and dedication to the family...

    You are so right. My parents live in Portugal and they say it is so hard to find someone to help out and clean the house (my parents are in their 70s); that's where the Ukrainians and Russians are willing and able to get jobs. No one wants that task, heck, God forbid they get down and dirty! I'm sorry but it is the truth, I hear the same complaint from people I talk to when I go there in the Summer. We're not generalizing, just pointing what unfortunately are facts in our motherland! :cool:

    I like the weather...coming from the hot beach of Nazare, the snow is a nice change. Nothing beats a snow day, hot chocolate and a nice movie on tv....

    Jerseys.
    Anyone here know of any store where I could find a GD Chaves jersey? If I can't find one in the U.S. or online I'll have to buy it in Chaves and I don't know when I'll be going to Portugal, maybe next year, June, on my way to Germany. :cool:

    wow, you can forget that. Only way is to go to Portugal and don't be surprised if the team dosen't actually sell jerseys when you get there.

    Haha, so true, i wanted to buy a Chaves jersey back in 97 (since I'm from the region) and the only way to get one is if you are lucky enough to be in the stands when a Chaves player will actually throw you a jersey :D

    Getting a jersey now-a-day's shouldn't be as hard as they make it. Then these clubs wonder why they have financial problems, they can't even get shirts out to fans that want to buy them. Ridiculous!

    WTF is that? What cheap jersey. When then were in the superliga, it looked way better. I hope management smarten up because Chaves have the supporters to make a home game pretty intense. I watched a game in Chaves years ago vs Braganca. There were fights, flairs, everything :D
