The similarities among the languages are more than their differences!

Hello, friends - thanks for all your good wishes. I am home and beginning to get some strength back - I told my family today that if I can just get about 18 hours of sleep a day, I'm in good shape for the other 9. Sleep [|-)]

(Well, maybe my cognitive functions aren't quite back -- I'll refrain from offering any advice for a few more days.) My husband and kids have been taking good care of me - Sarah (my 16-year-old) is really developing an appreciation for what it takes to keep the house slogging along in its usual slovenly fashion. I'll be back in the forums soon - thanks again for all your kind thoughts. Now, back to bed.

Managed to crawl out of your sickbed and over to the keyboard, did you? The sign of a real computer freak.

Get Well Quick(ly)!

Hi Khoff,
I'm so thrilled to hear the news. I hope that you recover soon and everything goes back to normal. And it's good to be appreciated by your daughter. I think they'll accept more responsibility from now on. Good for you. Get well soon, Right Hug [}]

Good to hear from you, Khoff! Sleep as much as you can, and come back soon!
Do you have nice neighbours who can help you?

Glad to see you're up and running again, khoff! Welcome back!

(Where shall I put these? There are a few prepositions, oh, and a couple of adverbs, and look, aren't these modal verbs pretty? – I don't know where they get them from, at this time of year. I'll just see if the nurse has a sentence I can put them in. Be right back...)

Yes, let's hope these prepositions, adverbs, and modals all get sentenced to lifelong linguistic service at Englishforums.com. Smile [:)]

Welcome back, Khoff! Where shall I put these Rose [F]

Hello Khoff

I congratulate you on your coming back home. It would be nice if we could have a talk here. But please remember that the first priority of our concern is you get comletely well.

In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.
