HI, dear friends!
I īm rushing off soon, but had to share this with you all - I know some people have already seen this but it never fails to make me smile.... Have a great day!

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troub lesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas
If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl |

So sorry I haven īt been around much. I have to update my mosaic with cafe members ī names. So many new names and new faces! Great so see lots of Brazilians here!
I īm in a hurry because in 10 minutes my students will arrive and then I need to go back to the hospital because...
My new grandson has arrived!!! Pedro Henrique was born yesterday. A big and lovely boy.
Now, could you people do me a great favour? My daughter, the baby īs mother, is not an active (to say the least) member of the site. If she gets some PMs about her baby boy maybe she will realise how special the eslprintables community is. She is rpellicano from Brazil.
I īm writing in a hurry but, before I go, let me just say that my new avatar was done by one of my students. This mangá is supposed to be me! Maybe some 20 years ago! If that īs the way she sees me, fine with me!
Big hugs from a happy grandmother.

Hi, everyone
Thanks for your comments on my school īs work about Thanksgiving.
Thanks Anaisabel and Lomasbello for you comments.
Anna, I managed to send one of the pm as you asked - my little bird is still flying around. Congrats, dear granny. I am going to be a granny, for the first time, next April. I ī īll receive another boy, too. One of those, as Orit says, always like to come back to his origins. One of my boy īs name is Pedro - let me tell you, he gave a lot of troubles when he was a kid - whenever and wherever there were troubles, my Pedro was among, no, he was right in the middle of the problem. Take care, check the name. 
Denisa, take care, I do know what I am talking about. I got two, the last one I didn īt work for a month, nor did I answer even the phone. Be careful. Hope you recover fast. Big kiss.
Hi, my cousin, my dearest cousin, in Brazil, the one I love most: thank you for you comments.I love Brazil, I have been there a few times, where are you from?
Juli, my dear, not today that I answer to your post, I have some stuff to send, but no time to look for it and prepare, so, please, keep cool, be patient, a great virtue. Thanks for being such a friend.
Dami, my dear "evil", so it goes like this, you switched the horns,( ?!?!?! ) and you think it is everything all right. Pay attention, a " HORN" in Portugal,CAN BE MANY THINGS, so, as a sweet friend, that I AM, I think you should be more careful with """"" HORNS """"
Did I make myself clear??????? Big hug, Dami
Love to you all

Missssssseddddddddddddd you all dear friends!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please, forgive me for not addressing each one of you. Dropped by to share with you this tiny story.
Anna P, Congrats dear !!!!! Iīm very happy for you !!! God bless your grandson and showers his days with love, sunshine and success!!!
Tiny Deer
Little Rupert, who is so small he can fit in an adultīs hand, was born after vets failed in their battle to
save his mother.
Orphan: Vets were unable to save his mother
At just six inches tall and weighing just over a pound, he is now in an incubator in the
intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire.
He has only recently opened his eyes.
Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said: īRupertīs mother had very severe injuries.
We brought him out and got him breathing and then he went into an incubator on oxygen.
He is now being fed by a tube.

What Are They Going Home To?
It used to be a deep, dark secret. What did? Everything. All the things that our kids go home to. All the things that we go home to. More and more realities have "come out of the closet", so to speak, but there is still enormous social pressure to pretend that everyone īs family and everyone īs home is still "all right." It wasn īt then. It isn īt now.
One parent has a restraining order against another. One parent is in jail. One parent has terminal cancer. One parent lost their job. One parent tried to commit suicide. One parent succeeded. One parent disappeared. One parent said, "You can īt live here anymore." One parent overdosed. One parent left the other one. One parent is suing the other for custody. One parent is a dealer....and not at a casino.
The kid lives with the grandparent. The kid lives with a stepparent. The kid lives with a friend. The kid lives with a coach. The kid lives alone because the adult is never home. The kid doesn īt have a home to go to, but instead moves from couch to couch around the neighborhood.
A sibling goes to court next week. A sibling is getting chemo. A sibling was arrested last night. A sibling never came home last night. A sibling is pregnant, at 15. A sibling is threatening. A sibling is threatened.
The student works 20 hours a week so that the family can have food. The student works 20 hours a week so that he doesn īt have to be home. The student works 20 hours a week to support his weed habit. The student works 20 hours a week because it is more interesting than school.
The girl wonders if she is fat. The boy wonders if he is gay. The girl wonders if she is pregnant. The boy wonders if he is stupid. The girl wonders if the step dad will stop touching her. The boy wonders if anyone will be home to make him dinner. The girl wonders which is the better reputation...virgin or slut. The boy wonders if he has to have sex to be a man.
Someone at home has the flu. No one has health insurance. Someone at home has a gun. No one knows who will be in and out of the house at night. Someone at home drives without a license. No one lets Dad drive when he īs drunk. Someone at home is a meth addict. No one dares enter the house without calling first. Someone at home has an OCD issue. No one can come over. Someone at home is out of control. No one will call the police. Someone should have stayed home with the baby. No one is there to sign the permission slip. Someone at home forgot to buy food. No one knows that she is a cutter.
Someone in your classroom doesn īt have heat.
Someone in your classroom doesn īt have running water.
Someone in your classroom doesn īt have a bed.
Someone in your classroom doesn īt know how to read.
Someone in your classroom is here illegally.
Someone in your classroom is using inhalants.
Someone in your classroom just had an abortion.
Someone in your classroom lives in a state of panic.
Someone in your classroom just found out that Mom is having an affair.
Someone in your classroom needs you to understand....
that all the things that happen outside of your classroom....
try to come in with each and every student who enters.
Someone in your classroom needs to know that you are
strong,
brave,
patient,
caring enough....
I got this in am email from Genki English and thought it was so sad. Next time we have dicipline problems in the classroom we should think about what could be behind it all... Hugs Yeti xxx |

Hello my friends,
Hope everything is fine with you. Thank you all for your posts, pics, videos, and stories.
My dear Denisa, I īm so sorry to hear about your pneumonia. Try to rest as much as you can. I hope you īll soon get over it. Take care!
Yeti, thanks a lot for your post! It īs really worth to consider from time to time and take into account all the different problems that our studends might be carrying with them into the classroom. Sometimes we tend to get so preoccupied with conducting our lesson that we neglect this equally ( if not more) important aspect of our job.
Olindalima, your Horn of Plenty is very artistic indeed and the posters are brilliant. Thanks for sharing those pics.
For those of you who might never have heard of it, the horn of plenty is also known as Horn of Amalthea. In Greek mythology, Amalthea was a goat who raised Zeus on her breast milk, in a cave, on mount Idi of Crete. Her horn was accidentally broken off by Zeus while playing together. The god Zeus, in remorse, gave her back her horn with supernatural powers, which would give whoever possessed it whatever they wished for. In this painting by Poussin little Jeus is depicted feeding from Amalthea īs breast.
lomasbello, Julieta and Damielle, Julian, Mirelli (many happy returns on your mother īs birthday!), sonn (nice music video), Halil, Greek professor, Anita, Mary-butterfly, anaisabel, nebal (thanks for the story and pics of little Rupert), Jayho, Orit, Maggie (great snapshot of your snowhite rabbit smelling the daisies) and all the people visiting the cafe, I wish you all a nice weekend!
