[quote user="Heartland Division CB&Q"]It must be challenging for people trying to learn English especially American-English to learn all of the commonly used goofy idioms. ......[/quote] Challenging is today´s understatement, Garry. You don´t learn them unless you spend a considerable amount of time with the local folks. Unfortunately, quite a number of those phrases have a short half-life - the ones I learned during my high school days are probably completely outdated [(-D] Good Evening! My back is hurting less, thanks to a shot my doc administered into my back. Still don´t know what hurts the most - the pain in the back or the shot against it. I´ll be taking it lightly for the coming few days. I need to go to Wolfsburg on Thursday to pick up my new little Volkswagen at the factory. Due to the flood, a railroad bridge crossing the Elbe river is closed for traffic, which means I cannot take the early (!!!) morning train, but have to go a day before - sigh! I will stay a night at my son´s and will try to make my way from Hannover to Wolfsburg one way or the other the next day. Have to be there by 7.30am [:'(] No MRRing in sight [sigh] Blessing to all and a big [#welcome] back to Paul!
