The A-Z letter story challenge an idea announced by “frizztext”
an amazing idea, which now have reached the letter “G”
Yeah for sure really men would think g-string at first
maybe at 2nd and at 3th too
but no there’s 3 reasons why Le Drake Noir wouldn’t do that
G-string must be invented by a lazy man with no imagination.
Wouldn’t dare share photos uh means of course haven’t any photos.
Have already written about it previously – well well, I know in danish.
“Le Drake Noir” wrote: “The story about the G-string” (danish)
The A-Z letter “G” story challenge.
Greetings starts with the letter ‘G’.
There’s many kinds of greetings – the real kiss, bowing, cheek kissing, eskimo kissing, fist pound (in which two individuals touch fists), high-five, pressing noses, handshake, hand-kissing, hat raising or tipping, hug, roman salute (which has become associated with fascist and other right-wing), waving (the gesture of moving one’s hand back and forth)
and don’t forget the famours f***finger, which is a kind of greeting too.
Perhaps many of our world’s troubles actully blown up because
too big numbers of threats and too little numbers of greetings.
…..
A greeting card anno 1915.
My mother’s mother (13 years old and in dark dress) with her parents, her older brother and younger sister, photographed outside their home with 2 younger summer children from Copenhagen – children who needed to get away from daily life in the big city’s poorest part of the population – not to say the host family were rich, not at all
but rich in so many other ways.
The summer children at first was dressed up
to be the most well-dressed throughout the village
and there came a photographer to take 3 identical photos
one for the family and one for the summer children each
to bring home to their family in Copenhagen
most often it was the family’s first photo, they got there.
It wasn’t so normal at that time
with that kind of greetings card.
Bon Giorno, Hola, hello, how ya doing? What’s up?? oh..thanks for the greeting ideas.

‘hahaha’ I still believe that G-string must be invented by a lazy man with no imagination, but when I say so, other men tells me I’m silly… ‘hahaha’
Agree to much threat and to little hug and greetings… 😉
Thanks for your sweet words… 😉
Must have been the highlight of those children’s lives 🙂

I’m sure it was something they looked back on with pleasure – when my grandmother grow up, she continued to invite some children from Copenhagen who needed some rest home countryside every year – and later my mother did the same… 😉

I never buy a greetings card always homemade
no one has ever complained yet… 😉
Okay send sometimes a postcard
but it is something else… 😉
Greetings are better than G-strings, Drakenoir, at least for me. 😉

If one have a good enough imagination, then g-strings are unnecessary
– greetings are never unnecessary whatever imagination or not… 😉
Estoí totalmente de acuerdo contigo, ultimamente se saluda muy poco, yo soy de las antiguas jajajajaja y aún lo hago, y muchas veces entras en un sitio das los buenos días y la gente ni te mira, pero bueno habrá que seguir siendo educado.
Respecto a la foto, viendo estas imágenes se da una cuenta de como ha cambiado el mundo, que cosas!!, besos

Yes, photos can be a really good documentation for development… 😉
Yes politeness often costs nothing and benefits more than it harms oneself – while it is inversely with impoliteness that one missing easily goodwill… 😉
Basically, I’m always polite, but it can change if I meet impoliteness…. 😉
Greeting cards will last for ever. Nice family shot.
#.jan masyn – 17082012.1120
Agree greetings card will last for ever and their message too… 😉
Photos new as well as old tell a story – life is a neverending story.
Motives dies but photos exist, telling our story together with new photos that pop up during time… 😉
Greetings to you my black feathery friend 😀 A grrrreat post!

#.paula – 18082012.1124
Agree vintage photos still tells stories as well as new ones do – we need both to make our history complete or make it as complete as we can… 😉
Lovely sentiment, LDN and a fascinating photograph.
