Mar. 9, 2006 - Ebonics, Spanglish, now this
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be 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 the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "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 ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!

Dec. 18, 2005 - Pappy's Barbie Bed
Pappy strongly dislikes Barbies. My sisters and I tease him a lot about not liking them. When we discovered this, We Put a lot of Barbies in Pappy's bed, and we hid some under his blanket. When he saw them in the bed, he knew that we hid some more and he asked us where else we put them. However, we did not tell him, because he had found all of them. Then we told him that there was not any more, and we all had a good laugh.

Dec. 18, 2005 - TV Shows That I Like
Y$40 a Day -I like how it shows how you can save money.
Y30 Minute Meals - The recipes are good, and I like how Rachel Ray makes meals "on the fly."
YPaula's Home Cooking - Paula Dean tries to keep things simple yet look fancy.
YEmeril Live - Emeril is funny, and he has great recipes.
YEveryday Italian - Giada focuses on using everything to make wholesome meals.
YSkeleton Stories - I like it is a little like CSI because they are using forensics to solve a mystery; and it is not fiction.
YLizzie McGuire - In every episode there is something to learn about being friends and a good sister.
YSuite Life of Zack and Cody - It is funny, and the characters are not too bratty. Sometimes when the twins are apart, they see that they really do miss each other even though they get on each other's nerves.
YThat's So Raven - I like the fact that this show brings out that people's "visions" are not necessarily what the reality is. I also like the focus on relationships as well as being funny.
YProud Family - This is one of the best cartoons I have seen. I like it because the characters are funny and trying to do what is right.
YTom & Jerry - It's a classic! I love the music, and I like that they fight yet they cannot bear to lose each other.
YScooby-Doo - I like how they solve the mysteries.
YUnwrapped - I love learning the histories of different foods.
YMythbusters - These guys are nuts! I love seeing them try to prove or disprove myths on a scientific level. I like how they sometimes blow things when they are doing an experiments as well as seeing what things are dangerous.
