The man in street speaks vaguely of "the olden times," for he has but one epithet to apply to all the ages which lie between the dawn of history and the invention of the locomotive. If he think of them at all, Julious Caesar and Queen Elizabeth are to him essentially contemporaries, and from his point of view he is quite justified in thinking of them as such, since to one who judges of the value of life by the comforts amidst which it is passed, it is hardly worth while to make any distinction except that between a way of life which comes up to the 19th century standard and one which does not. All ages except the present were alike in being compelled to get along without the things of which he is most proud, and what he calls"progress"did not begin until a

very short time ago.



1.The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ( ).



ⓐ Evaluating one's contemporaries.

ⓑ The comforts of the past.

ⓒ History, short-term view.

The reason im asking is that my girlfriend was reversing in a cul de sac and hit a car that was parked on the wrong side of the road,she knows she should of been paying more attention but she wasent expecting the other car to be there.
I know it is illegal in Scotland to park on the wrong side of the road but does this law exist in England.
Thanks

Just starting 2-years probation for DWI (no accident/injury).
1. Judge orders monthly visits - PO changes this to weekly.
2. I had admitted myself to 8-week intensive outpatient program to get help to which Judge acknowledges and says monitoring can start after treatment - PO tells me to quit program so I can wear ankle monitor for 15 days.
3. I have no ride and not close to bus to attend appts with PO on Wednesday - all other days I have a ride. He tells me all appts will be on Wednesdays.
4. I have no vehicle and no phone. PO tells me probation will be revoked unless I put ign interlock on someone's - anyone's - vehicle. Tells me I must order basic phone service within next week (impossible expectation with phone company) so ankle monitoring can be ordered.
Etc., etc. I'm trying my best to do everything I'm told, but I feel as though I'm being set up for failure. Feeling so stressed that I want to drink... Is a probation officer authorized to make such changes?

I always feel so alone. Even when I'm not. And I snap at people for no reason. I just get mad or annoyed but I don't know why. I cry atleast once a day. I have thought about killing myself but never bring myself to do it. There are some days when I just want to be alone and lay in bed all day. But then there are days when I don't even want to stay home at all. Does everyone feel like this and never say anything? Or is it just me?

It was a country love song, sung by a man and i can't remember any part of it besides in the chorus it said something about "she makes me feel like I was never left out in the rain"... something to that manner.

ok this is about two ladies. this play can only take place in ONE setting with a maximuum of only TWO characters. plzz help me with an ending to the play. pllzz and also a title

Maria: (now talking to Ms. Evans)
Ummm, hi, Ms. Evans, I’d like to show you my dress that you specifically asked for. Remember me? Maria Rodriguez? Your designer? The one who wants her dress to be modeled at your show?

Ms. Evans: (pointing to dress)
Yes, but let me see the dress first.

Maria: (takes out dress)
Here you go. I hope you like it.

Ms. Evans:
(twitching nose and looking at dress)
Well, the color is actually quite good but it needs more........ designs, Maria. It could be done a little better.

Maria: (disappointed)
Uh... well, I figured that with the less designing the more color, it would be more attractive.

Ms. Evans: (a little frustrated)
In a way, maybe, but I prefer what I just asked you for. I don’t really feel like explaining anything towards anyone right now.

Maria: (uncomfortable feeling)
I’m sorry ma’am but…

Ms. Evans: (angry)
But what?.... Like I already said, I don’t have time to play games and I just need the dress that I asked you to re-do.

Maria:
(nervous but mad)
Ok, fine. But I want you to know that I have also worked my butt off and you are not the only one suffering. I have worked at this dress for over three weeks, day and night. And so far, I think that this is the best I’m doing.


Ms. Evans: (shocked)
Well, well, well, I see someone here has an attitude. As long as you are working under me, you will do as I say and what I ask for. You have designed dresses for me for only 3 months and already I don’t like it!

Maria: (a bit nervous)
It’s not easy to design these dresses. It requires much effort and time.

Ms. Evans:
(pointing towards Maria with a stern voice)
Don’t you think I know that? I have worked here for over 5 years and I have fired people in less than 2 days. Of course this job isn’t easy, what do you think this job is about? Kindness? Brutality? It’s all about fame and fortune. And I don’t want to argue with you over this, just please finish the dress that I asked you for.

Maria: (furious)
Excuse me? I’m sorry but I can’t finish that dress unless you tell me truth!

Ms. Evans: (angry and also furious)
Truth!? You want the truth? The truth is that this was never my dream. I only dream of money and being famous! This is not where I belong. Who would want a petty job like this? It’s useless. This takes up too much time of my precious life!

Maria: (shocked, holding herself)
You mean all this time you just want to be known throughout the world? Why would you ever do something like this? Don’t you even have any consideration for the people who actually want to do something with this job? People would go beyond the world to be where you are right now. You’re a disgrace.

Ms. Evans (pointing to herself)
A disgrace I may be, but sooner or later you’re going to do the exact same thing I’m doing.

Maria: (looking directly at Ms. Evans)
Trust me; I’ll never become a coward like you!

My friend really wants to be bridesmaid at my wedding. I'd decided to just have one bridesmaid (fiance's sister) cause I've lots of friends and didn't want to pick, but now she is seriously putting the thumbscrews on and I don't know what to do. I feel fairly ambivalent about it... We're very close, she's lovely: everything I'd want in a bridesmaid. But I don't know now if I want her to be my bridesmaid because I'd like her to share my day, or if I want her to be bridesmaid cause she wants it. And if it's the latter then...well, I react badly to being manipulated, so it would encourage me not to ask!

Is there an advantage to having a best friend as a bridesmaid rather than a sister-in-law (well, actually it'd be as well as the sister-in-law)? I get on well with the sister-in-law, but I guess I'd not ask her advice or anything like that... In which case having a best friend as a bridesmaid would be much better...

Ack - help!
