From TIMES magazine: "Strangers think I'll look down on them - so THEY GET THE BOOT IN first."

Context: The author tries to lose her posh British accent.

I'm taking the expression to mean something like "They give me the boot (ie. don't talk to me)", but am unfamiliar with the author's use of the idiom. Your thoughts?

I started seeing this woman on a casual basis 15 months ago and with no expectations our relationship has grown into a very happy one. She a dancer and looks atleatst 10 years younger. I find her attractive, funny and a real great person. Iam 28 and she is 37. All my friends and family keep reminding me that later in life this will be a problem and I cant help wondering if this is true. I know that love is important but certainly one must atleast plan and have a fague idea what you want in life. Although I would like to be dad one day I know that personally iam not ready for anything like that for atleast the next 5+ years of my life. Because of all these things there is now unwanted strain on the relationship as I know that she needs to be with someone that can be seriously committed to her. Iam at a crossroad as its hard for me to let her go as we get along so well. How do u know if someone is the one anyway? Can anyone offer some advice?

I have flourosis which is a condition caused by too much flouride in your water, that causes your teeth to discolor and decay. (I'm sure you can find pictures with a web search.) If it does this to your teeth (calcium) what does it do to your bones (also calcium)? It has also been shown in studies that flouride can cause many conditions, including arthritis. I have switched to non-flouride toothpaste, and despite claims that flouride whitens your teeth, my teeth are whiter now that I don't use it. I bring this up because new parents especially need to beware of giving their children too much flouride, although it 'probably' is not good for any of us.

Ever noticed that white folks are always up-tight & almost always living up the rules. And whenever they let go & try to be free they look stupid. This might sound ignorant but it's true. I live in South Africa where they're worse.

A couple was on their honeymoon, lying in bed, about ready to consummate their marriage, when the new bride says to the husband, "I have a confession to make, I'm not a virgin."

The husband replies, "That's no big thing in this day and age."

The wife continues, "Yeah, I've been with one guy."

"Oh yeah? Who was the guy?"

"Tiger Woods."

"Tiger Woods, the golfer?"

"Yeah."

"Well, he's rich, famous and handsome. I can see why you went to bed with him."

The husband and wife then make passionate love.

When they are done, the husband gets up and walks to the telephone.

"What are you doing?" asks the wife.

The husband says, "I'm hungry, I was going to call room service and get something to eat."

"Tiger wouldn't do that."

"Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"

"He'd come back to bed and do it a second time."

The husband puts down the phone and goes back to bed to make love a second time.

When they finish, he gets up and goes over to the phone. "Now...
