My phone (Android) will sometimes re-post old email messages from 1 to 3 days before. Is this the carrier's issue? The phone connects to the same email account as on my desktop and it doesn't happen there, so why just the phone?

Does anyone have a breakdown of the characters in "Sitting Pretty" by Amy Rosenthal?

Listening to the radio; heard Wilson Pickett doing "Land of a Thousand Dances" and I thought:are there any other rock, pop, soul, R and B etc. songs that are played on only one chord?

(I don't think rap can count here because it's too unlike the others)

They're well protected but some of the falls are brutal.

This was a valuable cargo. Was the owner compensated? Insurance? Taken by itself the Tea Party was an act of theft and vandalism. And a fellow American suffered because of it. Anyone care about the poor guy who lost his cargo?

Would the USA have been a country with slaves into the 1870's? The 1880's? The twentieth century?

Where did that myth come from? Is it widespread or just some clueless people who believe it?

I'm talking about the debt ceiling issue obviously. The British-derived parliamentary systems have their own glitches but they don't get the executive-legislative deadlock that seems to plague the US.

If you're serious about acting, modelling is a whole different world. If an actress was introduced as "actress -and-model" in a play I was in I'd be very sceptical until she proved she had real acting chops.

Did they get someone to reconstruct what the Vikings spoke or are they just speaking Swedish or Norwegian or something?

I can only watch once in a while so I can't follow the long-term stories.

I sort of remember stuff about "one game at a time" and "110%" but I'd like to get the exact quote

The names of the characters in Les Miserables don't seem like any real French names I've ever heard (Fantine, Eponine, Enjolras. etc.) Did they have some symbolic/emotional significance that French speakers of the time would have recognized but we don't?

For example specify what the division of powers between governor and legislature is, and whether there has to be a two-house legislature. Could a state establish a Brit/Canadian parliamentary style government if it got the notion?

Interested non-American

Well, I crossed the border at Buffalo and was driving west toward Cleveland when I realized I was in Pennsylvania for a short time before I got to the Ohio border. Looked at the map: Pennsylviania had this little neck of land going north to touch Lake Erie.

And then I noticed that New Hampshire has an Atlantic coastline; a little stretch that sneaks down to touch the ocean.

So, Americans, what's the story here. Did these involve some wheeling and dealing when the boundaries were set?

What sounds do the Q and X stand for? And vowel pairs, like Liu or Leung; how are they pronounced?

If they do, how? What mechanism connects their emotional state to their fur?

(Took cat to vet this morning and have the usual fur all over my T-shirt)

I'm asking because I read questions from people which is obviously their homework about themes, dramatic devices, etc etc, which is worthwhile knowing if you want to be educated. But my experience of acting tells me that stuff doesn't help at all in telling me how to perform the play.

Does anyone find that literary critiques of a play help in any way in performing the thing?

If so, any thoughts on depiction of 4th century Christians?
