Try to Explain how I talk ?

[Grams]

I just wanted to let every one know why and how come I am so ??? goofy at times.

I grew up in a Catholic church with Nuns teaching me.......

I was sick a lot of the times with colds ear aces bad teeth...... etc...

My parents came over to the U.S. and could not help me... they were learning also
I guess........
My report cards were alway's with E's and F's....... and they kept passing me......
When I was going to the 6th. grade my Mother took me out and put me into a
public school....... because they were going to keep me back this year.....
Which they should have done in grade 1 to begin with.....

I am trying my best....... Please forgive me........ and I hope I am not
giving any one a hard tome...
Love in Christ
Grams - Marlene Hug's to you all.......... :)

Not at all...no need to worry ...
I think I can speak for the majority here when I say that you are well loved.


Of interest, what is your native tongue?

I've been in Canada for 53 years , we came from England, so thankfully we didn't have a language challenge.

I am married to a Language Arts Major (she's also a remedial reading teacher) and I have 16 teachers or professors in my family....... Trust me, I would know if your delivery wasn't top shelf. It is great, and you are very clear in your explanations.

 

[101G]

never put yourself down, we all have flaws but we keep on striving. look when you're at your Worst that's when God work with us to make you and I "HIS" best.

well from the little time I been speaking with you I see no problem. so keep it up... (smile).

and also, I hated the English course in school. not the subject, but the teachers I had each year.

our school must have had a strick qualification for English teacher.

they had to be at least over 80 years in age, and meaner that the Junk yard dog.

so neither did I get good grades in English. and I studded a lot and still do now occasionally, but that want stop me.

see God is not looking for the perfect one, but us, the one who are maybe not as perfect. ... YET (smile). let God work on us, he is the author and finisher of our FAITH. so watch what he can do in our lives.

Amen, good responses here. :)

 

[Grams]

Thank YOU, Thank , YOU Thank you ALL so much !!!!

I am glad I am not a male ........ the nuns back then did not seem to like the boy's
they pulled there ears and hair for no reason.......
And back then if they [nuns ] had a reason for us because we did not do what they
asked...... they would have us put our hand out and hit it with a ruler...
And when they really felt , ??? what ever they seem to think ???????
They would have the children .... us lay over a chair and use a long ......
ruler, yard stick the lone ones. ?????? for got the name... I think its 36 inc. ?
across the our seat...... "bottom" ?
My parents seemed to have learned or maybe were able before they came to the U.S.
Speak English.

I thought I was Polish, but am now finding out it may be German.......
It was during the war, and I guess people were leaving to the United States for
freedom ....... ???? I guess war makes a big difference

I do not know if they came straight to Michigan ? I do not think so.
But they ended up here...... and there is more..... but I do not know it all.....

Thanks again.... its late...... maybe more to talk about tomorrow ?

GINOLJC, to all

well gram some of my English teachers must have been nuns before. because one of my teachers, was so mean, if you did something wrong, she made you stick out your hands in a balled knuckle
and with the edge, not the flat part, but the edge hit us with the 36" ruler (Yard stick) over and over. then she would whipped our bottoms.

I said, if I ever caught her in a dark ally by our self I would return the favor, with interest.

but the strangest thing happen. after graduation, and coming home from overseas being the army
I saw my English teacher, at a concert. she was seated behind me, and this side of her I never knew, this woman was shouting and having a good time. and yes, those old days crossed my mind and a few times the devil tempted me to fulfill my promises. but as said, the strangest think happen, I kept hearing this one scripture that our Lord Jesus spoke, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do". that night I knew that the Lord Jesus was real.

but the amazing thing, if it was not for her strict stance I probably couldn't write a descent sentence now, and still make a lot of mistakes. but I thank God for her, (and man it's still hard for me to say it, about her), but I thank God, because he gave the right teacher for me. so on Mother Day I thank that English teacher in the name of Jesus for her work on me.

yes, I know some of it I deserved, maybe not all of it... (smile).

so what I'm saying, it's all in the past now, it's what one do with what you got NOW. so, forgiveness heal all wounds. follow the Lord Jesus and live in him.

be blessed.

@Grams
Just keep on loving God and it will all be OK in the end as you already know. Some think their education and knowledge will get them somewhere special, but you already know a better way than that...

"Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matt 18:4

Give God the glory, dear Grams!

Hey Grams, I know a song called Lily Marlene. You probably know it as well. It’s got a nice tune. It wouldn’t happen to be about you would it? :) just kidding.
Nice to hear your story.

 

[Grams]

Hello quietthinker,

Yep, I heard that song a few times.

My wife and I sold Frisch Gebrannte Mandeln (roasted almonds) at fairs and Oktober Fests for 12 years. I don't think I have ever heard it in English.

 

[Grams]

The only words I can remember are Marlene your the answer to my dreams ...

 

[Enoch111]

I am glad I am not a male ..

This is really funny. Just remember that Adam has priority over Eve.

 

[Grams]

YES! But I am referring to this time in the 1950's at a Catholic School [church]

The nuns were very mean to the boy's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

maybe that is why they were nuns, instead of getting married ?????????????????????

 

[Enoch111]

The nuns were very mean to the boy's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to digress, but celibacy under compulsion is a doctrine of devils. So if they behaved devilishly, we should not be surprised.

 

[Grams]

I sure hope it has changed ........! As a child back then I could do nothing !
