Di, are you trying to make all minded people Greek here?

Thanks my dear for this post, Alexander has the same glory as Achilles does. He was the man that tried to conquer the world. And he was a man of its honor too. Many people around the world are Greek too but they just dont know it.

No love,

I am trying to show everyone some little parts of greek history and culture, so we can all understand each other, and be friends together.

I know that we can all get along if we all really try.......

We will try to be better hosts for our visitors,
and I hope that all our visitors will come to us with open and friendly hearts.

My sweet girl, I dont know how you always find the right words for anything. There is a formula that makes things very easy, so no one has to try hard to get along. Jokes, laugh and love! Very easy things for everyone

Couldn't agree more... If it isn't fun they why would you do it? I really enjoy a good joke and making someone smile.

There's a plethora of worthy Greek contributions to highlight and choose from: Art & Architecture, philosophy, mathematics, poetry, theater...the list goes on and on.

No doubt you have good intentions, Di, but opening this thread with a war-mongering, military commander/conquerer and Hunting, in this visitor's opinion, seems an odd bedfellow to your plea for peace, friendship and harmony.

I was named for her (and the moon) under another name she's known by, Cynthia.

She and Demeter are my favorites

 

[Di]

I was named for her also

hence the first post in my thread-------

All aspects of cultural history are worth exploring I think...

I bet Di has some other stuff up her sleeve to show us too, right Di?

I am interested in Part II of Alexander's story first though..........

hi Lisa ,
yes, you are right there is so much to explore in greek history and culture it is almost impossible to choose a good place to start --
but I have always liked Alexander, so I chose him,---
---- after me of course !!!!!!!!! ha ha ha

yes, there are several parts to the Alexander story so we will have a different one each night along with another piece of interest as well.

LadyMaMa --- I am a good person, -- I turn beetles over, and carry spiders and grasshoppers carefully and gently out of the house into the garden rather than squashing them ---------

Well, that's just odd.....

odd to you bubs, cos you jump onto the chair screaming when a tiny little spidey person appears !!!!! ha ha ha


all gone bubs, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you -----

 

[Lisaf01]

ok, I'm not coming back to this thread now until it's moved on several pages..........

 

[Di]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaww dont go bubs,

just look the other way,

ot maybe Imeo will carry it outside for you,

I aint getting near that big bugger !!!!!!! 8-o8-o8-o

 

[LadyMaMa]

I'm glad that you're a good person. The quote is about the quality and quantity of man's and god's "mercy." Its meaning has nothing to do with bugs, or a call for us to be kind to them. I'd rather the bugs stay outside, too. I'm not carrying them, though.

I thought the meaning was about the human kindness, -----
goodness and kindness of the human soul-----

anyway, I try to not kill anything - bugs included, unless absolutely needed, and mostly it is not -------
I even use humane and no-kill mouse traps !!

and I only carry the really little ones,
but I dro them and scream if they wriggle in my hand - ha ha ha ha 8-o

 

[Lisaf01]

Sorry people, it's a boot or the vacuum cleaner for me, every time...
And Di, can you explain the no-kill mouse-trapping idea to my cats please?
