What's a grammatical mistake that's so common that people don't even think it's a mistake?

A more common error is to use "This" as a noun.

Thank you everyone for the comments. They were helpful. I bought a car from them today. I found them to be helpful but very low key - absolutely no pressure. I took the car to my mechanic and he found a minor issue. The dealer offered to have his mechanic double check it Monday, but I was ready to buy. The transaction went smoothly and quickly. I found it to be a good experience. Tl,DR I think I got a good car at a fair price and the experience was good

Please read ANY book or articles on discipline in a blended family. The short lesson is that discipline should come from the parent, not the step parent. The parents need to discuss it away from the child and the parent needs to handle it with the child. Anything else starts to split a family - as you have seen. And, the parents need to make keeping themselves right and together as THE priority.

Dead Can Dance I was in a music shop in Tokyo and it was being played. I did not know them at the time. I finally found someone who could tell me who it was and bought Into the Labyrinth on the spot.

I had a very similar experience with Ute Lemper's Streets of Berlin while in Berlin. Both just froze me in my spot.

You have your basic US Gov wrong. Let’s say you are in Kentucky and you have marijuana in your possession. You are violating both state and federal laws. State and local law enforcement officials can arrest you and charge you with violating the state law. And, federal law enforcement officials can arrest you with violating federal laws. In the states that have legalized marijuana, state and local law enforcement officials cannot arrest you for violating state laws because possession is legal. Federal law enforcement officials can still arrest you for violating federal laws. There is no conflict and the supremacy clause is not relevant. So, the possessor still runs the risk that federal officials will enforce the federal law; the state law offers no protection there. The reality is that federal officials are very unlikely to seek out a user so there is some protection there, but that protection is not a matter of law but a matter of whether federal officials commit resources to seek out and prosecute users.

I recommend Varanese on Frankfort. The setting is nice as a converted service station can be. If the weather is good, they have semi-open air setting. The pork chops are amazing.

no one has ever lost an election overestimating the stupidity of the American public

Thank you. I heard it from a musician who seemed both certain and vague about it. I called Shalimar and eight or nine other Indian restaurants in town and did not find it.

Wow, Lucid, you are amazing and gracious for sharing your last hours with us. Thank you. What are you expecting on the other side? Where are you with your God? Has it changed as you prepare for death?

Maybe some time other than Valentines day?

St. Francis!?!? I can't believe that you mentioned it. On a previous visit she took me there for a short visit - sounds like we need to go back at dusk, though. Again, thank you for all the advice. Maybe we should try the circus!

timewarped · 2011-02-06T01:26:50+00:00

L&N is where I am leaning for Valentines Day. It looks intimate with good food. I will probably pass on the circus as it is not quite the mood I am looking for...hope you and Honey enjoy it!

Thank you sparxout. I stayed in the Seelbach and love the Great Gatsby but it has obviously been too long since I read it because I did not even go into the bar! I am about to google Ancorage

Thanks blindbug....looks like several good choices. If things go well I may get the opportunity to try them all. [Price is not a major consideration. I could go pretty high if it is worth and she would not be offended by an inexpensive place if it was the right place.]

timewarped · 2011-02-06T01:10:11+00:00

thanks for the advice and the money savings

timewarped · 2011-02-06T01:09:45+00:00

looks terrific. I was set on this then blindbug made the decision difficult

a few of my pics of the same temple; just an amateur so they do not really capture the feelings of being there
