Just how "dirty", "uncouth", "rude" etc is the word the English (in England) use when they say "bl**dy"? How would you rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 with "1" being quite mild and "10" the absolute worse.

I ran across it somewhere recently and to us Americans (speaking for myself) it doesn't come off as really 'dirty'. But I was thinking that ya'll might consider it the utmost in 'bad' words. Not only that, but over here we have quite a vocabulary of 'dirty' words, but that is the only one that I can find that the English use. Surely there must be others? Spencer, our resident erotica personage? Yes? no?

My French professor did teach us one in French: mon petit chou. ;-) That is as bad as she would get.

My husband "rescued" one from our backyard today, and relocated it to the open space across the street and aways from our house in open space. He thinks he stirred it up when he was doing the first mow of the season on the upper part of the lot. Found it amongst the rocks near the house, sunning itself, I imagine (having refused to leave house all day). Captured it using my garden hoe and transported it via empty garbage can to said open space.

Anyway, I have suddenly realised that in America people do things differently, and next time I'll be with a new doctor, and in America. So I'm trying to understand "differences" in reports, etc.
For example in Canada, blood cholesterol levels presented as a ratio: in the US it seems to be a single number. I'm trying to get a handle on what is normal, what is low, and what is high cholesterol in the American system of measuring things.

I'm having the same problem with B12 measurments.

Can anyone help me by pointing out a wenbsite or two, please?

My son is taking an acne medication that is over $500 for a 6-week supply, but the pharmaceutical company provides a card that you use when you get the drug that makes it just $25. On my latest insurance statement, the insurance company is counting the full $528 for the med instead of the $25 I paid against the deductible, putting us a lot closer to meeting the deductible much earlier in the year than usual

Should I tell them? Do they have to count the full over-the-counter price even though the company has a scheme for reducing it for the customer?]]> JaneGS Query Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:46:03 -0700 http://www.dregston.com/boards/read.php?20,25394,25394#msg-25394 http://www.dregston.com/boards/read.php?20,25394,25394#msg-25394

1. Can the end time for bidding be extended by the seller?

2. Is information about an item to be sold posted in advance of activation of the bidding?

3. How are payments for an item made? Is this typically left up to the seller to determine as a condition of sale, or does the auction site typically specify a method (or menu of possible methods)?]]> Warren Query Thu, 29 Jan 2009 03:35:32 -0700 http://www.dregston.com/boards/read.php?20,24316,24316#msg-24316 http://www.dregston.com/boards/read.php?20,24316,24316#msg-24316

a. It conveys, or implies, the notion that true love is a thing much coveted but very elusive.

b. It contains the phrase "true X", with "X" being some word other than "love", and it compares "true love" with "true X"

Reason: I'm writing a scholarly paper on the topic of "true sale", a phrase with a well established meaning in the law. The status of a transaction as a "true sale" is also much coveted but very elusive. I'd like to play on the similarity of "true sale" to "true love" in the introductory paragraph. So I am looking for a quote to serve as inspiration, or, better yet, to use directly (with footnote attribution of the original, of course).]]> Warren Query Sun, 06 Jul 2008 19:16:32 -0600 http://www.dregston.com/boards/read.php?20,18655,18655#msg-18655 http://www.dregston.com/boards/read.php?20,18655,18655#msg-18655
Does anyone know, would that affect this choice. If I bought a Samsung LCD (which would be compatible with my current VCR/DVD player). Is that a problem for the future if Blueray becomes the standard? Hope this makes sense. I hardly even know what I am talking about and it has taken me months to get even this far.

But I need to get a TV hooked up to cable before baseball and the next Tennis Grand Slam.

I walked into a honkey tonkey just the other day
I droped a nickle in the juke box just to hear it play
I didnt have no tune in mind, I didnt wait to choose
Just droped a nickle in the slot and I played the juke box blues

Theres a guy in there with an old tin horn
And a feller on an old banjo, and the man of the fiddle
He wasn't no slouch he could really drag that bow
Well, the man on the fiddle he must have got tired
I didnt hear him say, 'cause he cut loose on the steel guitar
And the juke box ran away
And I've herd something going strong
It must have been a drum
It gave that song a solid beat
Boy it was goin' some

I walked into a honkey tonkey just the other day
I droped a nickle in the juke box just to hear it play
I didnt have no tune in mind, I didnt wait to choose
Just droped a nickle in the slot and I played the juke box blues

I've played alot of juke boxes, most everyone in town
That's the first tune I've ever heard
That can make one night surround
Play the juke box blues, such a rythum I've never heard
I danced out both of my shoes

When I first took an airplane trip, maybe it was in high school to go to Washington DC, flying was kind of an adventure and fun. You looked forward to it. There was enough space to sit and breathe, the food was ok, maybe not spectacular but edible. If there was time, you might even get to go into the cockpit to see what that was like. The flight attendants seemed to not be overrushed, the whole thing was like something out of a 50's movie with Sinatra singing "Come Fly With Me" in the background.

Now, it is just a nightmare to travel. Increased security, removing your shoes, can't bring my book bag along, just a purse, the special bottles your toiletries have to be in unless you check your bag etc etc.

The space in seats is less while people are larger than ever (at least in the states this is the case). Then the person in front of you reclines their seat into what I think of as my space. I do not recline my seat and I have a Scandinavian reticence to challenge the reclining person to not recline it so far. The air does not circulate very well.

What can be done about this situation? One solution would be to fly First Class but the amount to do so is astronomical and I don't consider this an option. Planes are flying at close to capacity. The price is about the only thing that is mostly right.

Is there any hope for the coach passenger to some day have enough air, enough space. This doesn't seem like that much to ask.
