RE: Hoarders

There was a tv show called "Clean House" for the boarderline hoarders. NNash the host who offer them to give up their stuff and clean up and have a yard sale and with the money from the proceeds, their team of carpenters, organizers and builders would come in a redo their home. Very positive spin.

I learned from the show most hoards have trouble making decisions on stuff. When to let it go.

from the hoarders reality show tho - on woman had dead animal in her freezer that she did not want to part with....... saaaaaaaay WHAT!????

RE: nite too everyone

back from a very old lady.

RE: Hoarders

I believe there is a lot of staging, however some of these homes - you can't stage that and also you can't smell what the social workers and family smell - because we don't have "sniff-arama" television, yet. Well maybe Dedovix might...... (just a little regular forum posters humor)....

RE: Questions on Irish travelers.Let your voice be heard !!

I shall not comment any more in your thread.

Probably better put this topic under politics and social issues next time, and I am sure there will be a next time, and a time after that, and that and that.

RE: Hoarders

there is a great reality tv show on Hoarders.... some require some serious mental health counseling, because their "collecting" got out of control.

RE: Name a Greek word in English,used in your own language.Part 2

Greek

Old English Grecas, Crecas (plural), early Germanic borrowing from Latin Graeci "the Hellenes," from Greek Grakoi. Aristotle, who was the first to use Graikhos as equivalent to Hellenes ("Meteorologica" I.xiv), wrote that it was the name originally used by Illyrians for the Dorians in Epirus, from Graii, native name of the people of Epirus.

But a modern theory (put forth by German classical historian Georg Busolt, 1850-1920), derives it from Graikhos "inhabitant of Graia" (literally "gray"), a town on the coast of Boeotia, which was the name given by the Romans to all Greeks, originally to the Greek colonists from Graia who helped found Cumae (9c. B.C.E.), the important city in southern Italy where the Latins first encountered Greeks. Under this theory, it was reborrowed in this general sense by the Greeks.

The Germanic languages originally borrowed the word with an initial -k- sound (compare Old High German Chrech, Gothic Kreks), which probably was their initial sound closest to the Latin -g- at the time; the word was later refashioned.
It was subtle of God to learn Greek when he wished to become an author -- and not to learn it better. [Nietzsche, "Beyond Good and Evil," 1886]
Meaning "the Greek language" is from late 14c.; meaning "unintelligible speech, gibberish" is from c.1600. Meaning "Greek letter fraternity member" is student slang, 1900.

RE: Questions on Irish travelers.Let your voice be heard !!

Just to "put it out there" this argument has no real merit. Being on "the dole" is not the issue. Bad behavior is the issue.

In my opinion, it is not a valid response to say well more Settled people are as bad as the bad behavior of Irish Travelers. Bad behavior is bad behavior.

RE: the friday thread

it's interesting too - because American's just love royalty - they are the celebrities of life, of course because they don't rule Americans.

The Canadians always cared for the queen too. Maybe because she didn't visit too often.....

RE: Ladies, Big one for you

It is really lovely here and yes happy to share with you anytime, even if you aren't a Scottish gentleman....

I met a lovely lady on this site, who is coming back for a visit with me, to Key West, other parts of Florida and a cruise in October. I'll try and play cupid and let her meet a lot of American men while she is here. American men don't appeal to me.... however, there are plenty here for her.

RE: the friday thread

Although most are worth it when they enter the room and some better when they leave.

RE: Is technology slowly killing eye contact and above all killing us?is media social network a good or

when I first got my smart phone, I was coming out of the theatre reading a text and WHAM! I went crotch first into a metal gate.


That left a bruise for weeks - sadly, no one special in my life to ask me about it.




So it is true I can't walk and chew gum (and text) at the same time.
