Post 6,000...Thank you DU!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

for being a refuge from maniacal conservatism...for extending open ears and warm hearts...for offering advice and hugs...for exhibiting views that sometimes differ from my own, and presenting them in a civilized fashion. I love you all! :grouphug:

This Beaker is from Susa, capital of the Ancient Persian state, and is considered to be about 6,000 years old.
Let's have your pics, poems, postulates, and prose related to 6,000!

Sinhala, 6000 years ago
by Asiff Hussein

It would seem surprising to many that the origins of the Sinhala language could be traced back to 6,000 years ago. Surprising but true. Linguistic research pioneered by nineteenth century German linguists like Franz Bopp and August Schleicher have made it possible to connect Sinhala words to words occurring in a good many European, Iranian and Indian languages belonging to what is known as the Indo-European family of languages and to trace them to their earliest forms.

This science known as comparative linguistics aims at establishing the close relationship that exists between such languages as Sanskrit, Greek, Latin, Gothic, Lithuanian, German, French, English, Russian, Persian, Hindi and Sinhala as well as attempting to reconstruct the parent speech of all these related languages which are believed to have shared a common origin in the distant past.

3. Wow. We are truly in the presence of greatness

Is that a record? I don't even recall seeing anybody with that many.
And more importantly, do you have an active social life?

7. 6,000's but a drop in the bucket...

GOPisEvil and Nothingshocksmeanymore each have over 30,000!
Still, it's fun to keep count.
And yes, the husband and 2 kids keep me pretty busy, but there's always room for new friends! :toast:

14. CONGRATS!!! Are you going to make the march on Sunday?

:bounce:

Hope to see you there!!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

16. I got a last minute call to play a gig;

and times being what they are, I have to take it. I'd need to leave DC no later than 1pm in order to get home, shower, dress, and drive to the gig.
What do you think? Have you ever attended part of a demonstration? Ordinarily I'd want to do all or nothing; but this is so important.

[LynneSin]

19. You'll get there and then you won't want to leave

seriously!

But we'll be in DC for a few days

[Zomby Woof]

27. congratulations

goddess of excellent dark Irish libations. Thanks for your beautiful pictures and friendly demeanor as well. And yes, excellent beer threads. I can't go to the march either, since I am hosting my son's 8th b-day party/play that day. I really wanted to go. I wish we didn't have to keep protesting for this -it's like the 80s all over again. I need to send PP and NARAL some money!
