If I stay longer then 90 days in Italy and then leave back to the US

If I stay longer then 90 days in Italy and then leave back to the US....?
would the Italian authorities find out when I go to the airport and show my passport? would they see that I over stayed without permission? what happens to a US citizen in Italy if they overstay but dont do anything else illegal. and they also dont need to work in Italy either. advice/knowledge on the subject please? I would love to live in Italy for a few years to learn Italian but I know I wouldn't qualify to live there legally as I am not a nurse or English teacher etc and its just not an option. BQ what about france?

If you overstay then when you leave Italy the immigration records computer will flag up your overstay immediately. As a minimum you will be allowed to leave but the overstay will be stamped in your passport and the authorities in all of the EC countries will be informed. As a result you are unlikely to allowed back into the EC in the future.

Nothing happens. I have verified that my self many many times. And I've had runins with most the police forces there too. Don't worry, do what you want to do. France you have to just stay out of trouble and they leave you alone. Especially if your white.
4 :
If you don't need to work in order to afford your stay here, then you can apply for a student visa or an elective residence visa and stay here legally. Those are much easier to get than a work visa. You would need to show that you have a place to stay and the resources to afford to stay without working. http://www.esteri.it/visti/index_eng.asp

Can a doctor in WA state, legally require me to use only a certain pharmacy

Can a doctor in WA state, legally require me to use only a certain pharmacy?
Can my doctor really make me only use one pharmacy of her choice? Today I went to Dr Joy Ruiz-Molleston in Lakewood, WA and got a one month prescription of my medication. I went to Walgreens, which Ive done the last FOUR months, and upon pickup time, I was told the doctor's nurse cancelled my presciption when the pharmacy tried to verify it because they want me to use only Lincoln Pharmacy. How can this be legal?! If it is my RX, I should be able to fill it anywhere I find convenient and cheap. The pharmacy they require me to use charges $60 copay, yet, every other pharmacy Ive been to only charges $30! Is she taking money off the side? Someone with law experience please tell me if this is really legal. In the end, I had to go back to the doctors office and get only a week RX which will cover me until my doctor is back in town from France. It also annoys me that she scheduled me for today saying she would be there, but when I arrived I was told she took a trip to France to visit friends. What the hell kind of service is this?! Thank you all who answer this.

They can't make you use a certain pharmacy, but obviously, they can cancel your RX too. I would go to another doctor.

This is almost certainly a violation of the standards of practice required by the Washington State Department of Health. *Please* file a complaint against this doctor, to save others from what you went through. The form is very simple. Just explain what you said here about the doctor canceling a prescription because you took it to your own pharmacy. You can download the form here: http://www.doh.wa.gov/hsqa/MQAC/Files/ComplaintForm.pdf This sort of behavior has to be taken seriously, and unless you stand up for yourself and other patients, they will continue to be abused. It doesn't matter if the doctor is receiving a kickback, although that is certainly possible. Pharmacists are an independent profession.
3 :
Well, that depends on some circumstances. If the prescription is for a class-II narcotic, many physicians require patients to sign an agreement that they will only use ONE physician and ONE pharmacy. Normally, they can't stipulate which pharmacy it is, just that you have to use the same pharmacy. As far as copays go, you would need to call your insurance company and ask them. It could be an out-of-network pharmacy depending on your plan, in which case you might want to discuss this with the physician. Read carefully when you sign things, and to everyone crying foul, you might not know the whole story.

What do you think of my short story

What do you think of my short story?
Alice The nurse wheels me in before the frosty window. “There we are, Alice dear. Now you can enjoy the view! Isn’t that nice?” I sigh inwardly. The woman only looks about thirty-five. She’s just a girl. Far too young to be calling me ‘dear’. “That’s delightful!” I grimace, answering in her own sugary tone. She smiles, obviously pleased that her idea had been a success, and wanders off to deal with some of the other old people in the home. As I stare at the pane of glass in front of me, I look but I don’t see the view. Instead, I watch as a tear slips down my wrinkled reflection. I was old. Tired. And so alone. I sit back with a hollow sigh, and let my mind wander back, back to those days of my girlhood. To the people of my childhood… It was the night of the village dance. “Hurry up, Alice!” moaned Joan. Joan was my best friend, a fiery confident girl, always bossing me about, left right and centre. I smiled at the slender, red-headed young woman sprawled over my old eiderdown bedspread. “Patience is a virtue…” I grinned infuriatingly, laughing at her hard glare, as she silently dared me to finish the age old proverb. Turning my back on her, I pushed a pair of scratched gold earrings into my ears, heirlooms from my long dead grandmother. Joan, always inconsistent in her moods, leapt off the bed with a creak of springs, her faded best dress whirling, her blue eyes sparkling. “Are you ready now?” she demanded impatiently. “Of course I am” I replied sweetly. I performed a small pirouette on the spot. “How do I look?” Joan’s face softened. “You look beautiful, as always.” Joan surged out of my bedroom, taking the wooden stairs two at a time. I winced at the crashes. Glancing in the large shard of age stained mirror propped up on my mantle piece, I scanned my familiar face. I suppose I was quite pretty, if a little ordinary looking. I pushed back my glossy, chestnut brown bob, which Joan had recently cut for me to look like the film star Ava Gardner. She said it suited me. I wasn’t so sure. And I wished I could get rid of my freckles. Jimmy used to pretend he was doing a dot-to-dot picture when we were little. Jimmy. I followed Joan’s footsteps, pausing at the top of the unevenly floored landing, in front of a closed door; Jimmy’s door. Jimmy was my kind-hearted, compassionate brother. He’d left to join the front line last year. Just a boy, just nineteen years old. I smiled at the memory of him marching proudly around the house in full uniform, polishing his tin helmet in front of the fire, his warm brown eyes bright, his bright, blonde hair gleaming. As I had fretted about him going out there, Jimmy had just smiled and hugged me close. “Don’t worry about me, Alice. They say this world war’ll not be like the first one. It’ll be over by Christmas – that’s only 3 months away!” A year had passed. We knew he was fine. He had been sent to France, and we received weekly letters from him, telling us all about the recent advancements, the living conditions, the other men. And about Charlie. Charlie and Jimmy had been best friends even before the war, and it was pure chance that they had been issued the same company, being christened Private Charles McConnell and Private James Gordon, names far too sophisticated and manly for the two smiling teenagers I knew so well. I smiled wanly as I recalled the three of us, best friends, comrades, playing in the country lanes and the woods near our village. Charlie had never thought of me as anything but a kid he would hang around with, despite me being only a year younger, but two months before he left for France with Jimmy, something had changed between us. We had shared our first kiss, atop Oak Hill and very soon we had realised that we were falling in love. It broke my heart when they went away. I barely slept those first few weeks, from the terror that something might happen to them. And although I received letters from them both most weeks, for some reason Charlie had never visited. Jimmy had been able to take leave and come home twice since he had left, but even I could see that he had changed so much. He went from a bright, carefree boy, to a muscular, battle-hardened man. But despite his quietness and clear unhappiness, at least he had visited. So, why hadn’t Charlie? I asked Jimmy over and over again why Charlie had refused to come, but he evaded the question, saying that he ‘had promised’. The worst thoughts ran through my head; had he met another girl, prettier, cleverer? She was probably a beautiful bombshell of a waitress he had met when on leave, visiting other people instead of me… Jimmy insisted that this wasn’t the case, but I continued to mope around for months until his next leave, when he revealed Charlie’s secret to me. He wasn’t cheating on me; he was an alcoholic. Jimmy refused to use the term, but I wasn’t a fool. He drank to get rid of his fear, to forget the terrible sights that he saw, things that J

I've always been a sucker for stories set in the war and this is an amazing story and I'm sure if you continue it, it could do really well. I think to improve it give some insight on how Alice is feeling at the beginning is she happy or sad? Did her feelings change as soon as she saw the view? What triggered them thoughts?
2 :
This is very interesting! I'd love to read more. Are you going to continue the story? :]
