[Larry Loungelizard]

If it is Admin, then why is his handle showing as Guest?

 

[Larry Loungelizard]

Yeah, that is Admin.

@LotusBud I've lived in Greece since November 2023, I know a handful of Greek words, that's all I'll ever learn.

 

[Larry Loungelizard]

I bet those words involve negotiating the rate of the hooker.

 

[wizer]

Scatoglia = Old Bitch

 

[wizer]

Moona = VJ

 

[Joe]

do most of the locals speak English as well @wizer ?

 

[wizer]

Putzel = Penis. @Jack's favorite word

 

[wizer]

The younger ones do

 

[Joe]

or is there a large 9r sufficient community of ex pats?

 

[wizer]

I can go into most stores and someone speaks English

 

[wizer]

We live in a very rural area only a few regulars and only a few of them speak English

 

[Joe]

or is there a large or sufficient community of ex pats ?

 

[Joe]

so that way you can get by even tho you dont speak greek eh?

 

[wizer]

There are no specific expat communities in Greece that I am aware of although I would imagine there are many expats on the touristy islands such as Mykonos, Santorini, and Crete to name a few

 

[wizer]

Yes I do fine without speaking Greek. But it's much easier that my wife speaks Greek

 

[LotusBud]

@wizer, so you refuse to try? Come on, man! Have some respect!

 

[Joe]

so is your wife greek?

 

[wizer]

@LotusBud my brain is like a sieve nowadays. Even towards the end of my eye doctor career I couldn't retain anything new

 

[wizer]

My wife is Greek/Australian

 

[wizer]

Some of the locals do give me words to try. I repeat the word several times to get it right. 10 minutes later it's simply gone from my head

 

[LotusBud]

You can retain more than a few words if you don't tell yourself you can't do it. There are plenty of things that are said often enough that you don't even have to try to remember them. You just have to be willing to listen..

 

[Joe]

i noticed i have a floater in 1 eye. is there any natural way to get rid of them @wizer ?

 

[wizer]

I can't stop telling myself I can't do it

 

[Joe]

like eye drops?

 

[wizer]

I'm completely convinced beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am incapable

 

[wizer]

Google translate helps, conversations are possible but it's slow and awkward and sometimes returns gibberish

 

[LotusBud]

OMG. I know so many Americans and ENglish here who do the exact same thing. It's lazy as fuck and disrespectful. I mean that in the nicest way.
