Cats and dogs


I saw this cartoon and thought it was cute. I really don't have much to say today. It's raining and I'm trying to get my first few English lessons together for my Thursday night group class but I'm running out of ideas. How many ways can one present how to introduce oneself and to give personal information? Boring!

Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Hope all is well with you.

As to introducing yourself..well, you know who you are, but they don't!

Absolutely true to life!

Megan said...

Yes, yes, so true. It's like "Want to feel smart? Get a dog. Want to feel like an idiot? Get a cat."

Remember: dogs have owners; cats have staff (employées). Une difference intéressant.

Just another reason why I love cats. Can't have one though, I'm allergic.
The only way to get around introducing yourself is to have a personal assistant, haha.

Love this cartoon, so typical of a cat!!! Diane

One idea: You need a hat collection. A pirate hat, a cowboy hat, and other props where they can pretend. Then everyone takes two or three turns introducing themselves as different personas! Extra practice for all.

LOL!! So very true. I love cats and dogs, they make life so much better! Hope you figure out lessons. At least the boring stuff gets done quickly and you get to more interesting stuff.

Exactly!!

Just Hello Dedene !
Bon courage pour tes cours d'anglais.

Pour les orchidées :
Lorsque les fleurs sont fanées, attendre qu'elles tombent et ne surtout pas couper la tige sauf si elle sèche ou couper que la partie qui sèche.
Arroser modérément et vaporiser de temps en temps le feuillage mais surtout pas pas les fleurs.
Quand une orchidée a été posée à un endroit, ne jamais la changer de place.
De préférence près d'une fenêtre pour la lumière.
Apporter un peu d'engrais chaque année.
Depuis que j'ai suivi les conseil de ma belle soeur mon orchidée a refleuri 2 fois.

This was so sweet - and just confirms to me that dogs are the best pet in the world

Rachel Cotterill said...

Ahh I love that joke every time I see it! :D

Bonjour Dedene,
So true :)

I feed a dog everyday.And I know that look!!
Our dog "tail gates" us everywhere in between meals, or gives us the hungry dog look.
Tis a hard job being the God(dess) of the household.

I have been away for several weeks without much computer access. I’ll try to comments on some of your posts. About “France bans the Burqa” I’ll tell you something I noticed. When I visited my family in Cairo in 1964, hardly any women wore a veil there, let alone anything bigger. The same when as a wee girl we went to Turkey in the late 40s – no veil. In the 80s and 90’s I worked with Algerians and Tunisians here who were trainees in my company – none of their wives wore a veil, nothing on their heads at all (talking about 250 trainees with many wives.) But back in Algeria some of the wives told me later that they wore it for safety reasons. Last December in Tunis I did not see many veils either. While I worked with the trainees they gave me the Koran to read and I could never find in it that it said women had to be covered head to toe – it is a cultural thing, made by men. I was born and raised in France until I came to the US – my father had many Muslim workers and none of their wives wore a veil – none that I can remember in all those years, none.

I would love a slice of that tarte Normande, avec un petit verre de Calva! I also like the clafoutis aux cerises. I like it that in France they use liquor in so many recipes – the alcool is gone but the flavors stays – here they are so afraid to cook with liquor – wine maybe. I knew a representative from Godiva chocolates and she told me that they used different recipes for their chocolates in the US – more sugar, more milk and no liquor. Pouah!
