Good Morning! Actually, it´s already lunchtime here. It´ll be meatlof, mashed potatoes and veggies today. Over many years, the German language has seen a quite strong influx of foreign words, mainly from English spoken countries and only very little from other languages, aside of food related expressions. Things have gone a wee bit over board and one might even say that the German language is on the retreat. The best way to show this is by posting the following little Christmas poem: When the last Kalendersheets flattern through the winterstreets and Dezemberwind is blowing then ist everybody knowing that it is not allzuweit she does come the Weihnachtszeit All the Menschen, Leute, people flippen out of ihr warm Stüble run to Kaufhof, Aldi, Mess make Konsum and business, kaufen this und jene things and the churchturmglocke rings. Manche holen sich a Tännchen when this brennt they cry "Attention". Rufen for the Feuerwehr "Please come quick to löschen her!" Goes the Tännchen off in Rauch they are standing on the Schlauch. In the kitchen of the house mother makes the Christmasschmaus. She is working, schufts and bakes the hit is now her Joghurtkeks and the Opa says als Tester "We are killed bis to Silvester". Then he fills the last Glas wine- yes this is the christmastime! Day by day does so vergang and the holy night does come you can think, you can remember this is immer in Dezember. Then the childrenlein are coming candle-Wachs is abwärts running. Bing of Crosby Christmas sings while the Towerglocke rings and the angels look so fine well this is the Weihnachtstime. Baby-eyes are kugelrund the family feels kerngesund when unterm Weihnachtsbaum they're hocking then nothing can them ever shocking. They are happy, are so fine this happens in the christmastime. The animals all in the house the Hund, the Katz, the bird, the Maus, are turning round the Weihnachtsstress, enjoy this as never nie well they find Kitekat and Chappi in the Geschenkkarton of Papi. The family behins to sing and wieder does a Glöckchen ring. Zum Song vom grünen Tannenbaum the Tränen rennen down and down. bis our mother plötzlich flennt "The christmas-Gans im Ofen brennt!" Her nose indeed is very fine ENDE OF THE WEIHNACHTSTIME I bet you folks don´t have a problem to understand it: Galaxy - I always thought a Stanley Steamer is this: <img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/green.autoblog.com/media/2009/12/stanley_steamer_1908-resized.jpg" alt=" " /> I just wonder whether it´d be better to have the carpets steam-cleaned after the painting is done [:-^] I´ll be taking a break from MRRing to sort my thoughts about the layout. Having to deal with the warped benchwork (it´s actually not warped, but twisted) is only the tip of the iceberg - there are a few other issues, mainly caused by my own stupidity. Time will tell!
