Cremation became legal in Greece a year ago although there is still no crematorium. The Greek Orthodox church is now grappling with the issue of cremation for its followers. Yiannis Boutaris, best known for his wine label and a candidate in last years municipal elections has spoken out after he had to travel to Bulgaria [...]
After a series of failures with other chatrooms, I have gone back to the original Chatzy. It seems that they have upgraded and generally improved the service. We'll try it out this week and see what happens. Apologies for all the difficulties this week. All the details for new users at the top of [...]
So… yesterday's Thursday night DD live was a resounding failure! I sat all alone in my new chatroom waiting for my mates to turn up and they all forgot. Do I hear violins? I had wanted to test everything to see what would happen if more than one person was chatting to herself but [...]
I am promoting this comment to the front page because I think it is important that you read it. On the post Selling Babies, Ourania wrote:
I am not surprised by the baby selling/illegal adoptions in Greece that are still going on. As an illegally adopted child from the 1950’s, I see the Greeks haven’t changed [...]
DD Live will be a bit different tonight! I have made a chatroom within the blog. You can access it through Chatroom at the top of the page. The page is password protected using the same word as regular users already have. Anyone else who wants to join in, drop me an email and I [...]
Apologies about the strangeness on this blog today. I am adding new pages, working on better navigation, adding some features, deleting some superfluous stuff and generally being geeky. I am really enjoying doing this, believe it or not ! Thanks Thank you for your patience (especially to Slant Truth and Vegankid for answering [...]
This is a list of the posts that I consider to be pivotal to this blog and it’s history. I wanted to have one place to direct new readers to because I know (from experience) how hard it is when you stumble on a blog you are interested in, but you feel a little lost [...]
Do not edit this page
Greece is slowly waking up to the fact that there are many people living here who are not Greek. There has been a flurry of studies and surveys recently that seem to be showing a fairly confused state of affairs. The confusion about what people feel about foreigners and immigrants has been, in my opinion, [...]
If you haven't already (or if you did a long time ago), make sure you read the following books in the very near future: The Bluest Eye Beloved Song of Solomon. Happy Birthday Toni Morrison. You are an inspiration.
We live on earth after all, which is every foreigner’s home

Some things are really hard to explain to someone who has not experienced them. Take racism. How do you really explain what racism FEELS like as opposed to what it is ?
Yesterday, I went with the love of my life to look at a potential new house for us. We had been to a housing [...]
I almost forgot it myself! It’s Thursday and that means DD live. As always, instructions for joining the regular chat are at the top of the page. Looking forward to chatting to you later…
UPDATE: CHATZY IS HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS TONIGHT. IT WON’T EVEN LET ME IN MY PLACE! SO, LET’S LEAVE IT FOR THIS WEEK [...]
The 2000 bloggers project continues despite causing some big bloggers getting their knickers in a twist and trying to put an end to it. A couple of influential (big boy) bloggers moaned about their ranking at Technorati. I guess they were worried about their incomes but blogging IS supposed to be for all of us, [...]
I used to hate valentines day because I never got a card or prezzie from a secret admirer but mainly because it’s all rubbish isn’t it?
Until I had a child on valentines day….
What a strange, difficult, wonderful, confusing, miraculous day that was.
Happy birthday to my baby boy (I know. You are not a baby [...]
[This post has been moved because of update]:
There is this blog traffic/link thingy site called The Truth Laid Bear, that gives each registered blog a rating according to a “humorous” climb up the ecosystem. I have been a rather insulting Insignificant Microbe since I started, so imagine my delight when I noticed that I am [...]
