Grape vine

How come some other people have a nice Blogspot site and mine is that large webpage with my funny thoughts. I have to play with those buttons again - and then what? I am beginning other people have more well organized thoughts than me - really. I can dump anything into this site as its my diary, day to day recollections. Okay - sounds fine. I will be able to share with the world my thoughts and feelings? Currently i am in my work place now and well, to say the most of it, how many people like to say something good about their workplace?? The stress, the deadlines the gossips and backstabbing really exist and .. aye aye aye. But its the same in any other organization right? Okay okay... then its good then, i have to think global, beyond my limits, beyond my capability!! How can you go beyond?????? I mean one organization i know has this motto which says Beyond Excellence!! Gets me to think funny things!! Maybe an egg hatching may be a good trick...the chick inside the egg has grown beyond its limit and is now ready for bigger things so what is the word beyond the word excellence?? Super excellent?? So the next word may be ultra excellent?? Then super ultra duper triple excellence!!! Some people has got to be joking. I mean i am no Thomas Edision trying to build bulbs - i have other better things to without trying to have to crack my head! For example - what do i di with my Blogspot????? Hmmm.. i guess to day i will try to put up some photos... yeah that will be cool!! But that means i have to play around with those buttons!! Damn!!

Bacchanalia

Introduced into Rome (c. 200 BC) from the Greek culture of lower Italy or by way of Greek-influenced Etruria, the bacchanalia were held in secret and attended by women only, on three days in the year in the grove of Simila near the Aventine Hill, on March 16 and 17. Subsequently, admission to the rites were extended to men and celebrations took place five times a month. The notoriety of these festivals, where many kinds of crimes and political conspiracies were supposed to be planned, led in 186 BC to a decree of the Senate — the so-called Senatus consultum de Bacchanalibus, inscribed on a bronze tablet discovered in Calabria (1640), now at Vienna — by which the Bacchanalia were prohibited throughout all Italy except in certain special cases which must be approved specifically by the Senate. In spite of the severe punishment inflicted on those found in violation of this decree, the Bacchanalia were not stamped out, at any rate in the south of Italy, for a very long time. (See: Further Reading below for an ancient description of the banned Bacchanalia)
Dionysus is equated with both Bacchus and Liber (also Liber Pater). Liber ("the free one") was a god of fertility and growth, married to Libera. His festival was the Liberia, celebrated on March 17. wiley x Architectural Outdoor Lighting florida discounted dental care san fransisco sightseeing
