'Bush' means born in and or raised in heaven. I visited 43s new presidential library on SMU campus in Dallas,Texas and signed the ledge there with your name Chris, c/o CS, thanking him for being one our best presidents, keeping Americans safe. I imagine they'll be watching you now, especially on CS. rolling on the floor laughing

chris27292729: Bloody Greek sailors!!!! leaving their mark everywhere.


yes, but in Costa Rica, Opa is used - generally by children - when they've done something like fall off their bike or drop something - equivalent to the oft used word in the US - oops!

In my country the father of Gods is Rangi, sky and is married to Papatuanuku, mother earth. And they spawned the gods and demi-gods...of mortals, creators of mortals.
But there is also a higher power. With a different name, fathered by none, parentless.

And this, I believe, is the same in many different religions, thus many different names. Great Spirit, The Almighty, God, Allah, Wakantanka.

yes... in Santa Barbara there was a restaurant that my family would have an early dinner at on Sundays and it being run by a traditional Greek family, would have people dancing and as you say, Opa! was said and hands clapped... there was also a woman who would do some belly dancing and as others did, dad would put a bill or two in her waistband. As I recall, those Sunday dinners lasted for hours, it was quite pleasant.
