Quote from: ChasSmith on February 07, 2016, 09:04:53 AMGot a question for the group:Do you use the term "sleep in" for sleeping late? If so, did you grow up knowing it, or did you adopt it at some time or place?This question somehow came up the other day, and some people had never heard it and had no idea what it was supposed to mean. Some of that group had spent their lives around NYC, so we thought it might be a regional expression - but in what areas? I felt like I'd always heard it and used it, but I've lived in the Midwest, Florida, California, and Northeast, and I have no idea where I would have learned it or how long ago.I can't remember not knowing the term "sleep (or sleeping) in." But to me, I would specifically use it when I would choose to not get up at my regular time. If I "slept late," to me that would mean that I didn't wake up when I had planned to.

So, for clarity, "sleeping late", in this instance, is synonymous with "sleeping in" -- as opposed to what happens when you forget to set your alarm.

God knows the glitch, but I put the 58 pages letter-sized score to be copied in the tray. Io should have in retrn 58 pages of copy @ $0.12/page. Well, I got 58 pages of 11x17 paper @ $0.23/page. This of course thrilled me no end and the manager blamed it on the fact that I hadn't made sure that the feeder tray wasn't closed to 8.5x11. I still think it was shitty maintenance of the overworked photocopiers.So then I had to wait for mew copies made at no charge and wait while the overworked clerk and another employee had to deal with me between too many waiting customers. Color me very pissed at the moment.~~~Vibes of Coping and Comfort for DR Larry!!~~~

Hope you win Robby Awards, BK!
Amazing xylophones and vibes for bk and all at the Robby Awards.
I don't even remember hearing about The Giant Spider Invasion, let alone seeing it. And I think we'll just leave it that way.
Over all, I think the current crop of GOP candidates pander far too much to the lowest IQ levels of "Christian" white trash mentality and promote too many of Adolph's and Benito's values to make me happy.
Good news from DR JEANNE yesterday about her glasses/optometrist. DR TCB - there's always one person who is COMPELLED to tell you they don't like it....they can't help it....especially if the production has received a generally positive response from the media and audiences.....
