you can find a few versions of this on the InterWeb. Here's one: EURO SPEAK European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European communications, 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 five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for short). In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c". Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the hard "c" will be replaced with "k". Not only will this klear up konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "foto graf" 20 per sent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted 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 silent "e"s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go. By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" by "z" and "w" by " v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords containing "ou", and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters. Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas. via Facebook/Karen R. Fraser | May 22, 2015 at 10:51AM

last night there was heavy rainfall in this area with a bit of thunder and lightening, but mostly lots of rain. somewhere between 1am and 2am I was awakened and heard kittens crying under the delapidated wooden porch attached to the back of our house. (When we have heavy rain, lots of water accumulates under the porch, thus the rotting wood after all these years). we know a free-roaming cat had a litter recently. her (first and) last litter was under the porch. I thought I heard two distinct kitten cries and perhaps a third. Momma cat who is less than 2 yrs old showed and was franticly rushing about to each of several holes between rotted boards, as if trying to devise a rescue plan. David said he saw her (Weepy) carry one kitten across the top of the porch. there wasn't anything we could do in the dark and the rain and with our cat colony we have to avoid interfering. mid-morning today I checked around the porch in the area I heard the cries and couldn't find anything. then I saw a black kitten through a hole at a distance from where the sounds were heard last night. HOORAY. Saw three kittens. eyes are probably not open yet. Weepy had rescued her kittens and moved them to higher ground, but still under the porch. after I had gone back into the house, I noticed through the kitchen window that Weepy was examining the hole where I saw the kittens, then she returned to under the porch using a common entrance the ferals use. I gather she had seen me from a distance checking the area. She waited until I was gone then quickly checked that I'd not disturbed her litter. awesome morning for me. via Facebook/Karen R.
