The Greek way
Kosta (father): “I want you to marry a girl of my choice.”
Son: “I will choose my own bride!!!”
Kosta: “But the girl is Bill Gates’s daughter..”
Son: “Well, in that case… ok”
Next Kosta approaches Bill Gates.
Kosta: “I have a husband for your daughter….”
Bill Gates: “But my daughter is too young to marry!!!!!”
Kosta: “But this young man is a vice-president of the World Bank.”
Bill Gates: “Ah, in that case… ok”
Finally Kosta goes to see the president of the World Bank.
Kosta: “I have a young man to be recommended as a vice-president.”
President: “But I already have more vice- presidents than I need!”
Kosta: “But this young man is Bill Gates’s son-in-law.”
President: “Ah, in that case… ok”
And that my friends is how Greeks do business.

Posted by Blanca in 40, My projects on April 3, 2009
Forty-something.com has been a real source of fun and excitement for me lately. As I’ve written before this is a very personal project that was born from my own struggle with turning 40 and the truth is that I never expected it to become so successful.
The site is now getting well over 15,000 unique visits a month, there are more than 600 subscribers to its mailing list, the website won an award only one month after its launch, it has reached a Google Page Rank of 5 in only four months and an Alexa Rank of 167,000. I know this must all sound like gibberish to my many lawyer-, economist-, hoteliers and artistic friends … but trust me: it’s good stuff!
So, moving forward, I’ve decided it’s time to go back to my roots and launched Forty-something.com’s sister blog in Spanish: www.40ymas.com.
This is an exciting project for me. On one hand I am blogging in Spanish, which is turning out to be a great exercise … and on the other hand I am enjoying tremendously the interaction with the many Spanish-speaking women that visit the blog and leave comments on it. I am having a blast!
If you speak Spanish, I invite you to visit my new 40ymas baby. And if you have Spanish-speaking female friends over 40, please let them know about this new cyberspace especially created for them.
