They're certainly a power in the region, and I don't doubt would like to be more so. I had understood they had links of support with Syria though. So even if these latest maneuvers are for their own benefit, might it not be that the unrest in Syria is what provides them with an excuse?
Think of it as a scale, Gem, with totally-shut-down-and-guarded at one end, and wide-open-free-and-easy at the other. It's probably not good to go all-out to either extreme. But I think it would be okay to move more in one direction sometimes, and other times move back toward the other. Meaning, it's okay if you feel guarded just now, you might feel less so tomorrow.
I could understand that. So did I. I did find one that sounded ok, for less than $200 a night: The Chelsea Savoy, a smaller place next door to the famous Hotel Chelsea. That might be worth looking at, if one were determined to stay in Manhattan.
Yeah that's for sure. I had wanted to stay at the Hotel Chelsea, just for the history, but what you get there for the prices just wasn't worth it. The Days Inn I mentioned, in Queens, really was quite nice, and affordable, and dirt-cheap by comparison to Manhattan.
I found the Days Inn Long Island City very affordable and convenient. It's 2 blocks from a subway line that gets you to Grand Central in about 10 minutes. I plan to stay there again when I return.
That is all so, Con, and has been for some time. When in South Florida I worked with a number of those Haitian "economic" refugees. It is true they did not seem like ideal immigrants: they were poor, and unschooled, and most spoke little english, if any. But they were hard-working people, and humble in attitude, and I was pleased to work with them and proud to have them with me on the team. They were good guys.
Wow, how I've dreamed of this...a Demonfairy and Jac sandwich.
Now then. All I was saying, I would have both you gracious and lovely ladies know, is that it is notoriously difficult to define what is "English" and what is not, let alone defining what level of "proficiency" might be acceptable for something like residency or citizenship. The question has been raised in numerous US courts, all of which have quite wisely thrown up their hands and found reasons not to decide.
I find this quite comfy. I could stay here awhile. Y'all comfy? Can I get you anything?
Belize is an option you should look into. Not long ago it was a very popular retirement destination, for just the reasons you mention. Things may have changed somewhat in 15 or 20 years, but on the other hand, the same years probably mean a lot of former-retiree vacancies.
May I point out, the subject there is "his family," not "the family"? Sam has only one family, so it is singular: "His family is very poor," not "his family are very poor."
Yeah yeah yeah. Tell you what: if I get the million, I'll be sure to ask your advice before investing it. And if I get the hundred million, I'll hire you for your advice. Deal?
For a guy with poetry in his soul, Ooby, ya really should dream bigger! It can't hurt.
I can't say I care much for that reading. Perhaps I wouldn't care for any. I think possibly the great quality of "The Bells" lies in its power as written word. I will grant you that poetry, since ancient times, has been that intended to be recited, but Poe's work was published, not performed. I doubt any save Poe himself could give me a reading of impact that surpassed my own. (I feel the same about "Ozymandias," which I posted above.)
I gave up on using my Spell Check, by the way. The damn thing is obviously broken.
Not necessarily. But one would hope her reference book at least would get it right.
Myself, I once endured a history teacher who wrote "Syeudonym" on the chalkboard. When I pointed out this was incorrect, he insisted he had looked it up. I walked out of class and went to the principle's office. (Mistakes are one thing, but intentionally misinforming others is a different ball of wax.) Result: I was excused from his class the rest of the year. Ironically, a week later the teacher's union went on strike, and when they returned, he did not.
Consistency demands that since Sam "lived," he also "got." I find it difficult to understand why anyone would argue in favor of "gets." Only in telling jokes is an unexpected shift in temporal sense appropriate (e.g., "Sam lived in the mountains. One day he gets up...").
Poe's "The Bells" is, I think, maybe the finest example in English-language literature of the rhythm of language.
Why pick on poets of today? Most likely 95% of poetry written in days of yore was equally crappy. It's just been forgotten about since. And, aren't non-discriminating readers of today equally to blame?
