Not sure how today is going to be, but I had a good day yesterday. I went to my favorite yard sale place and while I was there bought a tested (turned off and on) flat screen for 5.00. It did not come with a remote or manual, but...

M.-L. @snowy22315 'shy of' in combination with time is new to me. Thanks for enlarging my idiomatic vocabulary! I'm sure that I've never encountered the expression before in the many decades I've known English as a foreign language. The literal translation of the...

M.-L. @LadyDuck A wise saying! When I was studying to become a teacher, we learnt about the method 'learning by doing'. You can *explain* what the words 'to open' and 'door' mean. The pupils may understand you, but then forget the words. Make one of them stand...

M.-L. @JudyEv "it's on the cards" - Is this an idiomatic expression? I've never seen it before in the many years I've read English texts. Maybe it's an Australian expression? --- No, it's not Aussie English. I've just found this:...

Every time I use our laptop I blow up the screen so it is easy for me to read. My wife thinks it is crazy. She said you can see this in Chicago. The normal print on the computer I have to wear glasses to see it. I don't like...

It has been more than 3 years that I have been wearing my long black hair, which is about mid-back. There were so many people around me who kept on chanting for me to have a haircut, and even my family members were pushing me to...

As I stated before, my happy light is cordless and rechargeable. It is a very small and compact device, about the size of a ten inch tablet. The settings on mine, from left to right, are 6, 7, or 8 hours. Middle setting has the...

M.-L. @snowy22315 I wonder why both ALDI and Lidl have made it on the North American continent. Usually, it's the other way round and Europeans copy American ideas. With cars it's the other way round, of course. Who doesn't want to have a German BMW or Mercedes...

I think there's actually a chance that Nikki Haley could become the GOP (Republican) nominee. Think about it. Trump won NH 54.4% to 43.6%. He got barely more than half of the votes. She got 6.7 points less than half. As time goes...

M.-L. @jerzgirl Thank you for the explanation. Maybe you could insert (Republicans) into the post. I'm sure that other non-Americans don't know the abbreviation, either.
