Filia-A Theme Thursday post

In Greek the word "filia" (the intonation on the a) means kisses. What I find interesting though is that if you change the intonation and stress the second I-filia-then you get the word "friendship"...hmmm I think I had a point at some point but then I...lost it...God it's hot here. How is the weather in your part of the world? OK...moving on...

I love this weeks theme and I love the fact that I went on YouTube and listened to songs I had forgotten, like "kiss me" by sixpence none the richer...



and remembered Rhett's kiss to Scarlett...



The thing I liked most was the fact that some people went to the trouble of making compilations of kisses from movies and TV shows. The outcome...a whole lot of kissing and hugging and well you get the idea. I give you one video I liked most, made by a YouTube user named "FirstTwinBorn"...Enjoy!!



Happy TT!!

"You should be kissed, and often! And by somebody that knows how."

Ah, Rhett...

Ronda Laveen said...

The weather here in upper northern California (about an hour south of the Oregon border) is HOT, HOT, HOT...110-113 plus. We are supposed to get a cooling trend but after nearly a month, it is hard to believe. Smack!

If you can imagine an Australian accent . .you'd be asked 'Can I filia up?" . . Our men have just been voted the worst husbands in the world in some silly poll. Maybe because their idea of foreplay is "Are you awake love?"

It's cold . .two heaters on and a hoodie! But at least it's warmer than an Irish summer!

Wishing you fantastic filia! And many of them.

Mike said...

All of these kissing stories are making me think about my youth!

Hi Marianna! Interesting how just the sounding of one letter can change the whole meaning of that word! Nice GWTW tie-in, as well :) Happy TT!!

California Girl said...

You and I were channeling on "GWTW" although I used a different scene and was unable to find the scene I really wanted, when he asked her to kiss him before he went off to war.

Ed & Jeanne said...

As my kid would say, "Is that last one a kissy movie?"

Tess Kincaid said...

Rhett and Scarlet...how they sizzle!!!

Unknown said...

I guess I will have to watch Gone With the Wind some day.

Candie said...

A huge kiss to you!
Nice post and thanks for the lesson!

Liza B. Gonzalez said...

It's a lot hotter, now, after watching the kisses montage. Very enjoyable, but what's up with the saran wrap kiss?

Betsy Brock said...

It's cool here...but those kisses sure are hot! :)

Colette Amelia said...

It has cooled down thankfully. The whole province has been breaking heat records and there are forest fires everywhere...and ones that are threatening towns and houses!

I love Gone with the Wind!

Great choice!

Kranky Granny said...

What a great video. And I agree with the others, all these kissing post have me strolling down memory lanes that are best forgotten.

Marianna, thanks for the lovely comment on my kissing post. Despite all the spelling and grammar mistakes. I must admit I was quite embarrassed when I signed on today an reread what I had written. I did something I should never do, which is write something when I am just too tired to think.

I have fixed all my mistakes now, and thanks once again for the visit.
