There are those who are pushing to make English the official language of the United States. There are even some who want to force immigrants to learn and speak English in order to become citizens.

There are signs that it’s not going to work.

I Forgot to Warn You

A Wonka-ish email exchange with a co-worker concerning the “Toe Jam” picture (Click here if you really want to see it.)…

samsnyder@BIGcorporation.com: I forgot to warn you about the ugly foot picture.

co-worker@BIGcorporation.com: You are a little late…I’m vomiting over here in my garbage can!

samsnyder@BIGcorporation.com: what? don’t like mulberries?

co-worker@BIGcorporation.com: Looks more like a shnozberry to me!

samsnyder@BIGcorporation.com: THAT’s funny! Ha! I’m picturing that girl in the [Wonka] movie licking my toe!

co-worker@BIGcorporation.com: EEEEEEW!

samsnyder@BIGcorporation.com: If I ever jam my nose that bad I’ll have to write about it being a SHNOZberry.

co-worker@BIGcorporation.com: That would be interesting…how would you jam your nose?

samsnyder@BIGcorporation.com: I think drinking would have to be involved.

co-worker@BIGcorporation.com: Sounds like you are drinking already… [go] read your last e-mail…

samsnyder@BIGcorporation.com: Shounds like WHOsh dwinking alweady?

Ouch! Yes, it hurts!

I tried to push the chair while sitting at the desk yesterday morning. My bare foot slipped on the carpeting, causing me to kick the corner of the desk. THAT was not a fun experience!

Arissa and I went GEOCACHING in the afternoon. While trudging our way through the tick-laden brush, my toe was throbbing. When I removed my shoe back at home, there was one pudgy mulberry-colored fellow among four ghostly white brothers.

Honestly, he looks worse than he feels. There is only pain if I step a certain way. I just have to remember to NOT crack the toes of my left foot when I take my shoes off. I have a habit of doing that.

I am sure you didn’t need to know of my toe-cracking habit and you certainly did not need to see a photo of my ugly foot. But hey! This is the internet! We reveal all kinds of things here that we don’t in “real” life!
