A business will never get ahead if it doesn't please its customers. My brother and his father-in-law get along very well. Paul doesnt get along with his supervisor. My friend gets along without any financial support from home. Don't leave! I can't get along without you. She gets around town in a 20-year-old car. His grandfather gets around the city by bus. Charlie gets around a lot. He's been everywhere. My cousin gets around. Everyone knows her. "I don't get around much anymore” is the title of a song. Bad news gets around fast in this town. It got around that he was in trouble with the law. I couldn't get around having to serve on the jury. She tried to get around going into work on Saturday. After putting the kids to bed, he finally got around to reading the paper. When are you going to get around to doing your tax return? What are we actually trying to get at in this discussion? What are you really getting at when you say I'm too kind? No matter where you hide, I'll get at you. You can get at him by writing to his wife. He tried to get at me but my friends held him back. We try to get away for two weeks in August. The police responded too slowly, so the robbers got away. He never does what he promises, but he gets away with it. How do you get away with not paying a penny in taxes? We got back from Chicago late last night. I got back my tools from my brother-in-law. I got my tools back from my brother-in-law. Paul swore he would get back at his sister for lying about him. If you make trouble for me, I'll get back at you. She got back into acting when her children got older. I wonder if I should get back into the stock market. Comments[1] |
Mon, 8 June 2009 Yesterday an Air France airplane disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean. It was flying from Rio de Janeiro to Paris. There were severe storms along the flight path. Automated messages reported damage to the electrical system. Today they spotted debris and jet fuel off the coast of Brazil. The 228 people aboard are presumed to have perished. They say that flying is safer than driving. I'm sure there are statistics to support this. Still it is not what I feel in my gut. When I"m driving a car I don’t think about dying. But it’s different in a plane. The possibility of a fatal crash is something I am aware of. This doesn’t mean I am shivering from fear. The term "mindful” is a better description In any case, I continue to fly. At some point I may decide not to.
