English is Hard to Learn! – Back to School

I refuse to read this refuse!’

******

A poem showing how Absurd the English Language is.

When the English tongue we speak.
Why is break not rhymed with freak?
Will you tell me why it’s true
We say sew but likewise few?
And the maker of the verse,
Cannot rhyme his horse with worse?
Beard is not the same as heard
Cord is different from word.
Cow is cow but low is low
Shoe is never rhymed with foe.
Think of hose, dose,and lose

And think of goose and yet with choose

Think of comb, tomb and bomb,
Doll and roll or home and some.
Since pay is rhymed with say
Why not paid with said I pray?
Think of blood, food and good.
Mould is not pronounced like could.
Wherefore done, but gone and lone -
Is there any reason known?
To sum up all, it seems to me
Sound and letters don’t agree.

This was written by Lord Cromer, published in the Spectator of August 9th, 1902

FATHERS THEN AND NOW – For Father’s Day

Fathers then & nowFather's Day Fun

Fathers of 1900 didn’t have it nearly as good as fathers of 2012; but they did have a few advantages:

 

 


In 1900, a father’s horsepower meant his horses.

 

Today, it’s the size of his minivan.

 


In 1900, if a father put a roof over his family’s head, he was a success.

 

Today, it takes a roof, deck, pool, and 4-car garage. And that’s just the vacation home.

 


In 1900, a father waited for the doctor to tell him when the baby arrived.

 

Today, a father must wear a smock, know how to breathe, and make sure he knows how to use a digital camera.

 


In 1900, fathers passed on clothing to their sons.

 

Today, kids wouldn’t touch Dad’s clothes if they were sliding naked down an icicle.

 


In 1900, fathers could count on children to join the family business.

 

Today, fathers pray their kids will soon come home from college long enough to teach them how to work the computer and show them how to record TV shows.

 


In 1900, fathers pined for old country ~ Romania, Italy, or Russia.

 

Today, fathers pine for old country Hank Williams.

 


In 1900, a father smoked a pipe.

 

If he tries that today, he gets sent outside after a lecture on lip cancer.

 


In 1900, fathers shook their children gently and whispered, “Wake up, it’s time for school.”

 

Today, kids shake their fathers violently at 4 a.m., shouting: “Wake up, it’s time for hockey practice.”

 


In 1900, a father came home from work to find his wife and children at the supper table.

 

Today, a father comes home to a note: “Jimmy’s at baseball, Cindy’s at gymnastics, I’m at adult-Ed, Pizza in fridge.”

 


In 1900, fathers and sons would have heart-to-heart conversations while fishing in a stream.

 

Today, fathers pluck the headphones off their sons’ ears and shout, “WHEN YOU HAVE A MINUTE..”

 


In 1900, a father gave a pencil box for Christmas, and the kid was all smiles.

 

Today, a father spends $800 at Toys ‘R’ Us, and the kid screams: “I wanted an iPad!”

 


In 1900, if a father had breakfast in bed, it was eggs and bacon and ham and potatoes.

 

Today, it’s Special K, soy milk, dry toast and a lecture on cholesterol.

 


In 1900, a Father’s Day gift would be a hand tool.

 

Today, he’ll get a digital organizer.

 


In 1900, fathers said, “A man’s home is his castle.”

 

Today, they say, “Welcome to the money pit.”

 


In 1900, “a good day at the market” meant Father brought home feed for the horses.

 

Today, “a good day at the market” means Dad got in early on an IPO ( not Facebook ~ I hope).

 


In 1900, a happy meal was when Father shared funny stories around the table.

 

Today, a happy meal is what Dad buys at McDonald’s.

 


In 1900, a father was involved if he spanked the kid now and then.

 

Today, a father’s involved only if he coaches Little League and organizes Boy Scouts and car pools.

 


In 1900, when fathers entered the room, children often rose to attention.

 

Today, kids glance up and grunt, “Dad, you’re invading my space.”

 


In 1900, fathers threatened their daughters suiters with shotguns if the girl came home late.

 

Today, fathers break the ice by saying, “So…how long have you had that earring?”

 


In 1900, fathers pined for the old school, which meant a one-room, red-brick building.

 

Today, fathers pine for the old school, which means Dr J and Mickey Mantle.

 


In 1900, fathers were never truly appreciated.

iPads at Half Price

Subject: iPads at half price

Hi All,

If you are interested in getting an iPad, I can get them through a contact. These are legal, not off the back of a truck.

They are from a cancelled hospital contract due to the government cutbacks.

The numbers are limited. I have thirty iPads going for less than half price, so it’s first come, first served.

I have already sold one (pic is attached below so you can see what you would be getting).

Get back to me as quickly as you can if you want one.

Hug someone and encourage them.

Best Golf Game Ever

A mini-tour player by the name Rhein Gibson did something last week that could be the greatest accomplishment in the history of the game.

He went out with a couple of buddies to play a round at River Oaks Golf Club in Oklahoma, a course he would frequent during his time at Oklahoma Christian University, and shot a 16-under round of 55, a number that is said to have at least tied, if not beaten, the lowest round ever recorded in golf history.

What stands out for me is that his playing partner shot an incredible 69 and lost by 14 shots!
