Thebes: The Forgotten City of Ancient Greece | Paul Cartledge

#haikuaday #haikuhive

Every. Single. Time. I have to look up how to pronounce this place. #oy

Here comes Thebes again.
Do you rhyme with bees or teepees?
Once more, I must check.

JenlovesJT47 I know how that is! #frustrating ♥️♥️♥️ 4w

BkClubCare Yeah? I have always assumed it was one syllable. A word I heard today that I don‘t think I had ever heard outloud (only in print) was “chicanery” 4w

AmyG I thought it was always one syllable too. @dabbe is it one or two? 4w

See All 18 Comments

lil1inblue I had to google it. ? There's a whole reddit thread about how to pronounce Cebes of Thebes. (I think "Seeb-ease of Theebz" was the consensus for modern pronunciation.) 4w

rwmg Neither - in English it rhymes with dweebs 4w

AnnCrystal 👏🏼🐝👍🏼🤔 The ancient city??? The one in Greece or Egypt?? Greek's name for: “Thebes“ - Egyptian's name for: “Waset“ just to add further complexity 🤗🐝💝.

P.S. Greece called both cities Thebes... (edited) 4w

rubyslippersreads I‘ve always pronounced it “Theebz.” 4w

CBee @rubyslippersreads same! 4w

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 IKR? 🧡💜💛 4w

dabbe @BkClubCare You are correct! It's THEEBZ phonetically. I always was to say THEE-beez, though. 😂 4w

dabbe @AmyG See? I have people doubting now. Oops. It's THEEBZ, but I want to say THEE-beez. 😂 4w

dabbe @lil1inblue Interesting. I think people just gave up and allow both pronunciations now. The so-called correct way by most snobby dictionary people is THEEBZ. 4w

dabbe @rwmg 😂😂😂 4w

dabbe @AnnCrystal 🧡💜💛 4w

dabbe @rubyslippersreads And you are correct! 🧡💜💛 4w

dabbe @CBee Correct! 🧡💜💛 4w

GingerAntics Oh good, I‘m glad we came to the correct conclusion… or at least that I‘ve been saying it correctly all this time. lol 4w

I Don't Care | Julie Fogliano

#WDNCW @dabbe
We do not care that we left yesterday for our vacation and drove four hours to northeastern Arizona only to realize when we got there that we had left ALL of Pippa's seizure medications on the table at home in Phoenix. 😳

P.S. Thankfully, after hours on the phone, her neurological vet was able to send all the prescriptions to a pharmacy up here so that Matt didn't have to spend eight hours today retrieving them. #deepbreaths 😮‍💨

TheBookHippie 😬🥴 so glad it ended well! 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @lil1inblue @LiseWorks @Aims42 @AmyG @Susanita ... now if we can only get her to take the damn things. She usually gobbles them down in mini-lean-ground-beef meatballs, but she ain't having any of it now. And she's been whining the whole time we've been up here. #pippadontlikechange
😅😅😅 3mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe WINNIE is just like this 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie We're about at our wits end with her. We don't want to shove the pills down her throat, but man! She can be difficult! 😅 3mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Oh, Miss Winnie! 🖤🐾🖤 I'd try the squirt cheese, but she takes 24 pills a day. 😳 We cram three into each mini-meatball so she only has four because she's also a BIG girl. #oy 3mo

Feeling my age today. 😅

Rotator cuff tears
in two difference places.
Surgery to come.

TheBookHippie Ughhhhhhh it‘s so common menopause and post menopause!!! I‘m so so sorry…. Yuk 4mo

AmyG Well that sucks. 4mo

Susanita Ugh. I hope your healing goes smoothly. 4mo

See All 82 Comments

AnnCrystal No...not during your Birthday Month. 🙏🏼 Heal well 💝💝💝. 4mo

Amiable Ugh! I had rotator-cuff surgery about 10 years ago. Do you have a recliner? That was the most comfortable place to sleep for the first 8 weeks afterwards. 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie #thistooshallpassright #right? 😅 4mo

dabbe @AmyG My primary doc would tell me that my body's letting me know I'm alive. #oy 🙄 4mo

dabbe @Susanita #metoo (not the movement, well, you know!) 😂 4mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal IKR? #woeisme or is it #woeisi? 🤔 😅 4mo

dabbe @Amiable No, I don't. 😩 Think I'll have to start looking for one. 😅 4mo

JenlovesJT47 Ugh I‘m sorry! I have labral tears in both shoulders (and possibly my hip I dislocated 😣) so I know it‘s rough. Wishing you a successful surgery with many excellent books to keep you company afterwards. Dunno what I would have done all these years if I hadn‘t been working at an ortho doctors‘ office since I was 13 😆 (my mom works there still!!). 4mo

AmyG Your primary doc needs a better bedside manner! 🤣 4mo

TheBookHippie @Amiable oh yah I second the recliner!! 4mo

ChaoticMissAdventures Oh no!! That sounds so painful. I hope they can get you in soon and that it goes well. 4mo

IriDas Ugh, sounds terrible. I hope the surgery is successful 4mo

TheBookgeekFrau That just sucks 😖 4mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Are you just living with your tears? 😱 I can't even imagine. And what can be done with your dislocated hip? Do you hope it pops back into place? 😱 I'm feeling for ya! 💙 4mo

dabbe @AmyG He's a wee bit younger. The bastard. 😂 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie @Amiable Good to know! Any recommendations? 4mo

dabbe @ChaoticMissAdventures I don't even get in to see him to chat about stuff until 7/22. Luckily, I have some pain meds. 😅 4mo

dabbe @IriDas TY! 💙 4mo

dabbe @TheBookgeekFrau It does. But I'm still above the ground and not underneath it, so that's a plus! 😅 4mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe I had frozen shoulder, but it‘s a lazy boy- friend currently borrowing -it but I made sure the material didn‘t make me too hot! 4mo

Leftcoastzen Sorry you have to go through that ! 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie So no leather, right? 😂 4mo

dabbe @Leftcoastzen TY! Another right of passage to being older and letting your German shepherd chase a bird and drag you to the ground. 😅 4mo

Susanita Did you throw too many curve balls? 😉 4mo

lil1inblue Oh, my! 😱 I hope that the surgery goes well and that you heal swiftly! But hopefully, you'll get some good guilt-free reading time! 4mo

Amiable @TheBookHippie @dabbe I commandeered my husband‘s for the duration, to his dismay. 😄 I think it was a La-Z Boy also. We don‘t have it anymore. Which arm are you doing? Make sure that you can reach the lever with your good side! 😬 4mo

Amiable Oh, also make sure to have a selection of big shirts that button up the front because you won‘t be putting your arm through a sleeve for a while. 4mo

ShelleyBooksie Oh no! Boo on doggy related injuries! Sending you healing vibes ♡♡♡ 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @dabbe thanks for asking! A dislocation didn‘t show on x-rays so I had to get an MRI. Seeing the doc next week. He thinks I might have a labral tear in my hip. That would be my luck for sure! Crutches kill me so I‘ve altered my gait & walk on my tiptoes on that side. Not fun. Sorry, that was probably more information than you were looking for! 😅 4mo

Amiable And ask the surgeon when you can start PT —as soon as possible to avoid frozen shoulder if you can. Ask about passive PT where the therapist moves your slack arm around for you. 4mo

AvidReader25 I‘m so sorry! Praying the surgery goes well! 4mo

Librarybelle Oh no! 4mo

AnnCrystal @dabbe I will leave this to the teacher 😂💝💝💝. 4mo

Sarahreadstoomuch I‘m so sorry! 4mo

Texreader 🙁 I sure hope you‘re doing ok and that surgery is successful. I hear it‘s all about the rehab. 4mo

Chrissyreadit ugh! No Bueno!!! I was able to use PT only for mine (thankful no surgery)and agree good PT is huge! hope your pain is not too much 4mo

Bookwormjillk Oh no! I agree with @Amiable on the rehab. It‘s torture but helpful torture. My other suggestion is to get yourself a back scratcher. Hope you can get it taken care of soon! 4mo

CBee @dabbe sounds like when my GYN told me to “ride it out” after I explained all of my menopause symptoms. Butthead. 4mo

TheBookHippie @Amiable YES PT!!!!! 4mo

dabbe @Susanita As if I could! No, Pip dragged me to the ground chasing a damn bird. 😅 4mo

dabbe @lil1inblue That's the plus to it all! TY. 💙🩵💙 4mo

dabbe @Amiable Another good point! It's my right one, the one I do everything with, of course! I can still move it, just not in certain directions. 😅 4mo

dabbe @Amiable Holy guacamole! TY! I don't have any button-ups; they're all pullovers. Here's a plus: time to go shopping! 😂 4mo

dabbe @ShelleyBooksie TY! 💙🩵💙 4mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal I think it's “Woe is I“ because if you put the sentence in the correct order of subject before verb, you say, “I am woe.“ Now that I've just done that, I should have said “Woe AM I.“ I need to review my grammar! 😅 4mo

dabbe @Texreader You instantly reminded me of Amy Winehouse's “Rehab.“
Obviously for very different reasons. TY! 💙🩵💙 4mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit We'll see what his final opinion is, but the fact that there are two tears makes my primary doc think surgery would be better. Based on the f-in' big beautiful bill, I better get this done soon. 😅 TY for the kind words, m'dear. 💙🩵💙 4mo

Chrissyreadit fingers and toes crossed! 4mo

dabbe @Bookwormjillk I am starting to make a list! Backscratcher: #mostexcellent TY 🩵💙🩵 4mo

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe Truth!! And here's to it staying that way for a long time! 🥂💜 4mo

dabbe @CBee ESPECIALLY if your GYN was a female. 😤😂 4mo

dabbe @Chrissyreadit Definitely not shoulders! 🥰 4mo

CBee @dabbe nope, it‘s a dude. Too bad cause he was pretty cool before he said that 😂🫣🤪 4mo

dabbe @CBee Well, not only is that a dick-downer-for-women, but #patriarchylives even with the best of 'em! 4mo

dabbe @DebinHawaii I'm so happy you said “older“ and not “old“! 😂 That means I still have lots of years left, right? 💙🩵💙 4mo

DebinHawaii @dabbe Hah! 😂 I hope so—for both of us! 💙💙💙 4mo

RosePressedPages The same thing happened to my dad a little while ago. He‘s still in a sling. Here‘s to hoping you‘ll have a speedy recovery 💙 3mo

kspenmoll Oh no, I am so sorry! I have shoulder surgery that entailed more than rotator cuff, & I was “older so recovery longer” ( plus it was on right side; I am right handed) but now I am so much better! Cleaned up arthritis, bone in bone while in there as well. You can do it! 3mo

dabbe @RosePressedPages TY! 💙💙💙 3mo

dabbe @kspenmoll You give me hope! I've got arthritis in there, too. Maybe I can get a whole clean-er-up-while-you're-in-there detail! 😂 3mo

Librarybelle I enjoyed this one too! I did kind of hope for a true supernatural element, which would have been unique, but it was a super fun story. Maybe I think so because vampire is in the title! 😂 4mo

eeclayton I enjoyed it, too. It had a Jane Eyre-ish vibe in the beginning, and I'm glad the lady didn't end up in the attic or a madhouse 😁 4mo

CogsOfEncouragement My favorite line from this one was when Watson sees his school mate is not physically what he once had been, and W states is was painful to see. The clever line that made me chuckle:
I fear that I roused corresponding emotions in him. 4mo

kelli7990 I enjoyed it. 4mo

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement great line! 4mo

Cuilin @eeclayton yes definitely a gothic vibe right down to young Jack and his poison arrow. 4mo

Cuilin @Librarybelle I was hoping for a bit more Vampiric lore. 4mo

Cuilin @kelli7990 it was a fun one. 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement @kelli7990 Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I enjoyed this one, too--WAY more than the last one, #oy! I found it interesting that the kid's name was Jack. “Jack“ is used is many folk tales (talking to you, Jack & the Bean Stalk) and usually involved a young adult male who is a trickster or rebel of sorts. In this one, he happens to want to kill. 🤷‍♀️ The name definitely fits! 4mo
