For me, gypsies are the people who originated in India, and travelled across Europe - they were the founders of the flamenco in southern Spain, and they can be seen all over Europe, especially in Spain, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria. Hitler hated the gypsies, and many of them were persecuted and murdered during the Second World War. For me it's confusing for someone like yourself to call yourself a gypsy - you should call yourself a 'tinker'.

Well, actually I am quite familiar with it.
Apparently you don't go to school either, hence you're terrible spelling and grammar.
However, I do believe that sometimes the world is the best school.
Please don't be so sure that people don't know or understand what you're talking about. Gypsy is a common word and something that I have studied about intensely.

I know that many gypsy were considered nomadic. I have traced my family line and I have found that we have gypsy blood. Could explain my constant need to want to move. If it were not for my children I would move every year.

a bunch of hippies is what you are. they were called tinkers cause they would steal stuff, work on it and then sell it to make money. gypsies are like hippies that just live in bigger groups and wear a lot of scarves, and dance a lot.
