- I haven't noticed until tonight how many stars you can't see.....that may be because this is the first time there hasn't been clouds :P
- I was able to see on my way home yesterday......at 5:45PM!!!! It was grayness, but the sun was still near up!
- either Sweden has a horrible crime rate on hubcaps, or they don't have them
- The word "slut" in Swedish means the end, or final, this makes for some interesting signs
- My Aunt also sent me some interesting wording that are on signs. But trust me, English isn't quite as bad as you think.
With my Swedish, I am also trying to learn some Polish.....yeah--I just ran into the grammar minefield that is Polish. I guess there are 7 different endings to put on, and I asked my friend Adam how to tell which one you use in each case:
AUTOMATIC WASHING MACHINES: PLEASE REMOVE
ALL YOUR CLOTHES WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OUT.In a London department store:
BARGAIN BASEMENT UPSTAIRS...In an office:
WOULD THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE STEP LADDER YESTERDAY PLEASE BRING IT BACK OR FURTHER STEPS
WILL BE TAKEN.In an office:
AFTER TEA BREAK, STAFF SHOULD EMPTY THE TEAPOT
AND STAND UPSIDE DOWN ON THE DRAINING BOARD.Outside a secondhand shop:
WE EXCHANGE ANYTHING - BICYCLES, WASHING MACHINES, ETC.
WHY NOT BRING YOUR WIFE ALONG AND GET A WONDERFUL BARGAIN?Notice in health food shop window:
CLOSED DUE TO ILLNESS...Spotted in a safari park:
(I sure hope so.)
ELEPHANTS, PLEASE STAY IN YOUR CAR.Seen during a conference:
FOR ANYONE WHO HAS CHILDREN AND DOESN'T
KNOW IT, THERE IS A DAY CARE ON THE 1ST FLOOR.Notice in a farmer's field:
THE FARMER ALLOWS WALKERS TO CROSS THE
FIELD FOR FREE, BUT THE BULL CHARGES.Message on a leaflet:
IF YOU CANNOT READ, THIS LEAFLET WILL TELL
YOU HOW TO GET LESSONS.On a repair shop door:
WE CAN REPAIR ANYTHING. (PLEASE KNOCK HARD ON
THE DOOR - THE BELL DOESN'T WORK.)
Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say?Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife
and Daughter
This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says

Typhoon Rips Through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead
Did I read that right?
no, probably there is a rule that all people use, but nobody really knows how to formulate it you know, some subliminal stuffthen I asked why not these other endings
man, I have no idea... that's the way things areArgggg!!! This is going to be a road to even more insanity!
But I'm still better than a month ago!--In both Polish and Swedish!
In other news:
I've also been doing a lot of Ice skating, either by myself or with Emily. The rental of the ice skates is free and to use the rink is free.......hhmmmm, very hard decision here ;P
The rink we go to is near where Emily lives {in what I would call a sub-town} Råslätt.
I felt really dirty wearing these, especially since I had them on the day of our hockey games. But they are the pair that fits best {but not very sharp}.
- They were picking up the little rocks today! I guess they figure no more snow :(........maybe it was that the outside was near 45 today.....maybe......
- Sweden thinks it can tell me how to use the toilet. What's up guys?
In Furan
- I keep hearing the term "swag", all I can think of is this comic

- I made a rope rosary today and confused many people, but they learned about Catholics as I explained :)
- I received many letters today, thank you!
- I have evil plans in my mind, think I can get any more evil minions?
I said this was completely random! Things come into my head and so a wrote them here, just because. There probably won't be anymore like this one, this is mostly because my brain hurts right now and I thought I could give you some enjoyment :D. God kväll!!
