Smile Dance with me!

I can trace two origins for my signature.

The famous scene of Syrtaki in the Film"Zorbas, the Greek" when "Zorba" says to his friend: "Hey English Man, Dance with me"

But there is a music, I love very much composed by Manos Hatzidakis, it suppose to symbolize a love scene and the singer ask his partner to dance with him!The title of this tune is "Dance with me"!

Zorbas

What ever suits you best.

It's nice to know more about each of you, thanks for sharing.

If what you write on the bottom of the page is called your signature what is the note you can place under your name (on the left of the page)? I can't believe how quickly you all came up with something cleaver and with clip art too! I'm jealous.

I love "hot stuff" Kimmie!!!

I haven't been using a signature until today, when I decided to add my favorite adage. I heard it first from a veteran teacher who had dealt for years with school administrators and bargained with school board members for so long she couldn't remember. She has always forged ahead when she believed in her goal, learning that waiting for the approval of "superiors" kills progress. I've adopted it as my watchword.

Hmmm...I don't know how I managed to change back to Shugie8645. I guess it will take me a while to get used to the new look and not get so lost. I chose the sn Shugie because that's what my dad called me when I was a toddler. He's gone now, and this is in remembrance of him. I switched from Shugie to Pastachef because that's the screen name under which I save all of my recipes, and the sorority girls LOVE pasta. That reminds me, Isa. I made the lemon cream sauce for pasta yesterday and the girls didn't leave a drop They didn't even complain about my using heavy cream, so I also made a large pot of broccoli Alfredo and a smooth red sauce.

Mezzaluna!

You must be some personality! I love your signature!

Zorba, so,YOU where the second person in Athens who purchased this old CD of Hatzidakis?

At least I am not the only one in this town who asks for M.Hatzidakis and New York Ensemble's "Reflexions"!!

Default New York Ensemble's "Reflexions"!!

Athenaeus:

Where did you find this CD? I had the old record and I have been looking for years for the CD!

This is very important! Did you find the New York Ensemble's "Reflexions" on CD? Where?

Please let me know.

Thank you!

I think I'll be staying away from signatures. My avatar says it all. (I hope?)

Athenaeus, thank you for the compliment. (I can't spell "efcharisto" in English letters... forgive me!) My personality was shaped, in part, through lots of contact with Greek friends and neighbors in childhood. My mom grew up in a Greek neighborhood, so I even learned some "kitchen Greek". I spent a month visiting your lovely land in 1980, and would love to go back. We returned home in July before the figs were ripe....

Smile " We are all Greeks"

Mezzaluna.

I like very much your signature! It's very Greek in the concept although it's not Christian at all!

I think that Whilliam Blake was right to exlaim : " We are all Greeks"!
Of course he refers to the cultural heritage and not to blood otherwise I wouldn't mentioned him...

Well now that I have all of the spelling mistakes out of mine I will tell you what it means.

When I was young my father always you tell me that there is an old Greek saying that says "Where you hear there are a lot of cherries, bring a small basket". It simply means that when someone promises you the world or tells you of great fortune that you should probably expect there will be very little. Something I have found to be very true in life.
