What's your full time work?
Hie
You have great taste! I have noticed your interest in good food and wine elsewhere.
Our wonderful sufi is very clued up as well!
Yes, Ca-Ta-ef-ee (I can only sound it out)
and Baklava..love the honey and nuts..a little too sweet.
I do feel blessed being a part of them. Love their celebrations.
My sisters had Greek weddings. Very elaborate.We also have home-made Turkish delight made by our beautiful Effy. (Grandmother of 12 YO Nicholas) I have never questioned her as to it's origins. It tastes and smells strongly of roses and is amazing!
Grandmother is quite religious, so we all support her Easter. She typically never talks about religion. Most Greeks I know don't seem to bother much with religion here, other than belief in god.
I love the kissing and hugging that seems to be a part of who the Greeks are. A warm and loving family oriented lot!Sorry for your loss. Strangely that's quite sweet - passing away within a few days of each other seems 'right.' Greek families are so close.
Greeks are great fun - very warm and full of Filoxenia and hospitality.
WriteAngled - Don't worry about the Greek bureaucracy - we can help you with that.
As for the freelancing - it depends upon whether you will have a mortgage or you intend to buy outright. In most areas, if you don't have to worry about mortgage payments, you can easily survive on freelancing. We do
I'm a licensed irrigation and drainage contractor. I'm also a state certified back-flow tester.
I am a retired Peace Officer and my career now is fishing.
Great news...!!
I just started my career 7 years back and thinking when i'll get retired from it..
Ya i know.. real hired assassin wont tell it open.......
I was sure before reading your hub on John Adams Project, now really I doubt..
I work as an editor for Elsevier, just started last month
Ya don't see a lot of Buddhist hookers do you?
Nice to see you Hokey, I didn't know that about you. Is it your business or do you work for someone?
(that's my unnecessary emoticon)
retired. (For the third time!) Someone kept spending my money! I am now a full time grandfather of 6. I spend any spare time with the little ones.
It is the hardest work I have ever done!(just kidding!) Hey Enjoy being with kids....
I do cost analysis for the government...sounds so exciting doesn't it!
You have been here 2 years and have 8 hubs?
I hate to say it but it is easy to see why you have not had the best experience over those 2 years with only 8 hubs.
I work at a local school in 2 part time jobs that take up most of my time during term time and during the school holidays is when I can get some good hubbing in. I do love working at the school but with one of the jobs its not directly through the school but through the local council and working for them sucks big time. Bunch of bureaucrats and politicians and I am not sure which is worse.
Full time academic, technical and sales writer
Part-time Ouzo quality controller
EDIT: Nice one, Cris A - that's a big name to have on your CV!Good man, Harvey - just hope that you didn't drink the profits!
Not often I meet an Ouzo connoisseur on HubpagesNot sure about the Turks, but in Greece we have two spirits.
Tsipouro is distilled from the left over Grape mash after winemaking. Many Greeks still use the Turkish word, Raki. It is yellowish firewater!
Ouzo is the refined version, with herbs and anise. This is the one that turns white with water. I have not heard the Turkish name before, but Lion's Milk does ring a bell
Ernest: 'Tis true - most Greeks are devout Orthodox (Easter is fantastic!), but religion is seen as a taboo subject to talk about. Politics is much more fun
I used to teach English Literature once.
Then something went wrong with this world, and I couldn't sit back and watch anymore.
Now I'm training to be psychologist....and volunteer as a social worker.
Above all, I work to keep a family together....and trust me, that's a full time job!- you need to report asap to HP then! I believe one is needed badly in a thread below....
Don't you mean "Board Certified Psychiatrist"?
I could see lots of psychiatrist on hubpages..
Music production! Real fun!
Emi - Fancy doing my taxes next year then, I am emmigrating to America and need to have my business moved, no idea where to start!
I can't afford to pay you, but feel free to help a hubber outVeteran Affairs (VA) clerk
and struggling writerI live and work on the Internet
Ah, Greek salad... Heavenly taste
hehe - I heard someone mention cheese pies. My favourite
Good work with the cooking, Deb - those Greek lads must love visiting you.
The spring is nearly here and I look forward to Greek salad, Ouzo, and long conversations going well on into the night. Happy DaysI love those - we had them last night
Don't worry too much about spelling (although you were bang on!) - as long as it sounds OK, everything is good.
Shame that he won't eat them. Maybe you could try the denial of his conjugal rights until he eats his greens. Guaranteed to work
Susana - you are welcome anytime
Deb - mmmmm...Baklava. You are right, though - one is enough!
OH yes, I forget what they are called and may be a form of Tee-rope-a-tis
But you put feta cheese into these dough things, pack them up and fry them.oooh - those. Yum
We call them saganaki, although every region of Greece has its own names for things (as if Greek isn't difficult enough!)
Ernest - I have a lot of Greek friends who grew up in Melbourne. They miss it and would do anything for a jar of vegemite
Susana - No Problem. We have plenty of space for you to parkSee sufi, that is exactly what I was trying to express. That is why you are a very good writer!
Anyone knows after you have seen Vegemite you need to be VERY keen on Australia to try it!
Many, especially my local American and Canadian friends won't have a bar of it! They just look at it and say NO way am I gonna put that black spread on anything except maybe a wheel bearing!
WriteAngled, you probably already know this, but Melbourne Australia where I live is the biggest Greek city outside of Greece. They love the weather, the Ozzie barbecue has become their domain. They build beautiful big family houses that are centred around food, family and friends.
Greeks integrated into Australian society like magic!
My hub about John the plumbers dad is about a Greek Australia family.I knew about New York, but Florida is new information for me, thank you.
Gonna Google!
I reckon you could swing it! Melbourne is one very great city to live in.
Research well grasshopper.

Is 3 hubs a day full time good or bad?
I don't have that many hubs here, mainly because my own sites take all my time. But I've noticed that be it a hub or my own site articles, even though this is all I do full time, I only seem to get out 3 a day. Do you...

Is anyone making a full time living with Hubpages?
I see a lot of advice from hubpage members on hubs, questions, and forum posts and the common advice seems to be to write a lot of hubs. No problem. I am writing a decent amount of hubs on technology, nutrition, and...
