From the game where every time the other person hands you something you must say yandis or you lose (after breaking a wishbone with them).

Preferably one available in the US, but those only in Greece I'll keep in mind for later.

It looks to be in the white ground technique. Shown is what I assume to be an athlete riding a horse, followed by a flying Nike holding two rings, which might be wreaths (the picture's fairly small, so I'm having trouble deciding if they are). The horse has a long-necked bird riding on its neck, and there are three of the same type of bird below the horse. Then, flying toward the horse is a different type of bird, which I think is a raven. The dish has two handles, is circular, and has a black border around the edge. I believe it's from early Sparta.

Does anyone have any ideas for how to find out more about this? A good museum website, a book that might help (preferably with pictures so I can make a match for sure) or maybe a better way of searching? Google so far has given me nothing.

Thanks everyone for your time!

Not cultural similarities, per se. However, Greece and Ireland often have similar rankings in statistics, they seem to face similar problems, and it seems to me that they have both developed in similar ways. I asked this first in the Greek Travel section, here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=200912...

I would like to know if there are others who agree with me. If not, I plan to come back later with a list of some of that which I have observed, in order to clarify.

First, nobody bite my head off. I mean no harm, and you know that.

I also don't mean culturally. More so in the way that they've both developed. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that they both seem to have followed similar paths.

So what I'm going to do is submit this. If you agree, let me know. But if the general response is confusion, I'll edit with what I've noticed so that no one thinks I'm insane.

We've had questions about Greek authors recently, but now I want to know which individual books you like the most.

I've been sick at home and so haven't received the revised copy of this essay from my professor. I was wondering how I did and how much more I would have to correct for the next class. Does anyone have any ideas of what mistakes I made (especially with the grammar)?

Lo que ocurrió un día cuando una mujer estaba haciendo planes de su boda con su hermana menor

Hay una novia se llama Carmen. Ella tiene una hermana. Su hermana se llama Isabel. Las mujeres hablaban sobre el día de la boda de Carmen por tres horas en este día. De repente, Carmen dijo, “¡Isabel! No me estás ayudando.” Isabel respondió, “¡Hablé contigo sobre las decoraciones por todo el día! Te estoy ayudando mucho.” Carmen explicó, “Nosotros no decidimos nada en todo el tiempo que hablamos.” Isabel pensó por un tiempo breve. Últimamente Isabel dijo, “Es necesario que escribamos los detalles del día de su boda.” Carmen preguntó, “¿Para qué? No entiendo.” Isabel respondió, “Si escribimos los planes para el día de su boda, es posible que podamos ver los resultados de nuestras discusiones.” Carmen exclamó, “¡Que fantástico! Mi hermana favorita, siempre tiene las mejores ideas.”

Isabel sacó un cuaderno rojo y una pluma azul. Hizo una lista sobre el día de la boda de Carmen. Carmen preguntó, “¿Por qué no escribiste la fecha de mi boda?” Isabel contestó, “Lo olvidé. ¿Puedes recordarme?” Por eso, Carmen parecía enojada. Ella dijo, “El día de la boda es el primero de mayo porque mi novio y yo no gusta la primavera. No puedo creer que tú lo olvides.” Isabel parecía irritada. Ella disputó, “Lo siento, pero no soy una adivina.” Carmen respondió, “¡Todo mi vida me ha gustado la primavera! ¡Te dije que quería casarme en el mes de mayo cuando yo era una niña de diez años!” Isabel se puso de pie. Isabel dijo, “Estoy cansada de tu comportamiento. Solamente quiero ayudarte, pero no parece que me agradezcas.”

Carmen sintió mucho remordimiento. Carmen le dijo a Isabel, “¡Lo siento! ¿Perdóname? ¡Te aprecio mucho! Voy a hablar más amable en el futuro.” Isabel decidió ayudar a su hermana mayor otra vez.

Is it the same as the 3/12 date for Greece? Or a different date? Or will it not be released at all? I can't find anything with Google.

Okay, so I'm away at University right now. I forgot to bring my pointe shoes with me, but I really miss them. I can feel my feet wanting to put them on and dance. Since I obviously can't go up beyond demi-pointe without them, (or at least, I'm not supposed to) I was wondering if anyone had any stretches with similar movements to suggest. Especially if there's something that will require using both foot strength and flexibility at the same time like you would rising onto a full pointe. That way, when I have my pointe shoes with me again, I won't have a lot of trouble and it will be easier. Thank you to anyone who helps!

...Or do you usually think that the time off for the team is worth it because they'll play better in the next game?

Okay, so here's my problem. My bra size is a 34/36DD. Whenever I go shopping for bathing suits it takes forever. There are never any tops that actually fit because they're all made for C cups at the most. Is there any store that specializes in bikinis or swimsuits sized the same way that bras are instead of the usual small-medium-large? I ended up spending all of last summer in a sports bra with a tank top over it because all the tops I found looked absolutely obscene on me. I'd really like to be able to wear an actual bathing suit this year.

BTW, I'm located in Florida, near a beach. It's 80 and sunny, so it would be nice if I could find one now, not next summer or later in the year. I just realized that some of you up north might think I'm crazy for asking this in November, but I swear I'm not.

So does anyone have any advice or a solution? Know of any stores that are good for this?

The first thing is that I want to know what the following words mean: "gavroi", "vazeloi", "gyftoi", and "skoulikia."

The second is that I want someone to tell me about the use of the word "re." How informal is it? Is it just informal or is it insulting? My Yiayia describes it as a lower class word. Is that basically the opinion of the majority?

Thank you to everyone who helps me with this.

Preferably for women to answer, but if you're a guy and want to answer, just say so please.
