Language is changing everyday. New words appear and technology has a lot to do with it. SMS English is hard to avoid and often hard to understand for older people. Do you think your parents would be able to understand this?

This post is especially dedicated to Eduardo. Thanks for the bookmarks you´ve sent me (one of them has inspired me to write about Henry VIII)...and thanks, again, for being my friend.
HENRY VIII
"Divorced, beheaded, died; Divorced, beheaded, survived."
Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547) was king of England from 21 April 1509 until his death. Henry was the second monarch of the House of Tudor, succeeding his father, Henry VII. He married six times and there is a popular rhyme which describes his wives´s fate.
"Divorced, beheaded, died;
Divorced, beheaded ,survived"
Catherine of Aragon, a Spanish princess, was Henry's first wife. They were married for many years. Her determination to stay married to Henry, in the face of his desire for Anne Boleyn, would change the course of history forever.
Anne Boleyn, Henry's second wife, and the mother of Queen Elizabeth I. Henry fell passionately in love with Anne while married to Catherine of Aragon. He waited several years to marry Anne, but he soon lost his desire for her once she became his Queen.
Jane Seymour, Henry's beloved third Queen. Gentle, capable Jane gave Henry his long-awaited male heir after one year of marriage. Sadly, she gave her life to do so.
Anne of Cleves, Henry's fourth wife. This German princess served as Queen for only a few months before she and Henry agreed to divorce by mutual consent.
Katherine Howard, Henry's fifth wife. Henry's marriage to this teenager brought him brief happiness, but ended in tragedy.
Katherine Parr, Henry's sixth Queen. This intelligent, loyal, forward-thinking Renaissance woman outlived three husbands, including Henry, and went on to finally marry the man of her choice.

We all feel bad sometimes. If so, here you have part of a beautiful prayer by Mother Teresa of Calcutta. We should always look back before complaining.
When I am sad, send me someone to cheer;
When I need understanding, send me someone who needs mine;
When I need to be looked after, send me someone to care for;
When I think only of myself, draw my thoughts to another.
So let us pray as though everything depends on God,
and work as though God depends on us for everything.
Señor,
Cuando tenga hambre, envíame alguien a quien alimentar.
Cuando tenga sed, envíame a alguien que necesite beber.
Cuando tenga frío, envíame a alguien para que lo abrigue.
Cuando me sienta triste, envíame a alguien a quien consolar.
Cuando me sienta incomprendido, envíame a quien necesita de mi comprensión.
Cuando necesite que se ocupen de mí, envíame a alguien de quien cuidar.
Cuando piense sólo en mí mismo, dirige mi atención hacia otra persona.
Así, recemos como si todo dependiera de Dios
y trabajemos como si Dios dependiera totalmente de nosotros.
Lord,
When I am hungry, send me someone to feed;
When I am thirsty, send me someone who needs a drink;
When I am cold, send me someone to warm;When I am sad, send me someone to cheer;
When I need understanding, send me someone who needs mine;
When I need to be looked after, send me someone to care for;
When I think only of myself, draw my thoughts to another.
So let us pray as though everything depends on God,
