Car first came into Middle English as carre, from French and earlier from Latin carrus ‘wheeled vehicle’, and it first meant a carriage, chariot, cart, wagon, truck, or other conveyance. From the 16th to 19th centuries, the word was mainly used in poetry to describe any vehicle used in a solemn or dignified procession, as those concerned with pageantry, in times of triumph, or in war. The word was mainly used in relation to vehicles traveling on railways until it was transferred to automobiles around 1896. Other words related to car include career, cargo, caricature, carry, charge, and chariot.

keeping photos…

Keeping memories of your first visit to a place where you have check-in to one of those beautiful vacation rentals can uplift your spirit when seen. Like they say a picture is worth a thousand words but not if you can’t find it. So, to keep precious memories on instant recall, first collect all the snaps that have been tossed into the drawers or pile up in stacks. Then, do a serious sorting job, ditching all but the best, and sorting the rest in archival-quality boxes and albums that are acid free. Don’t forget that your computer can get clogged up with photos too, so back up files on labeled CD’s and lighten your hard drive’s digital load.
she’s already mature

One of my friends, called me inviting to come over their house to have dinner. Of course, I love to go since it’s been a while we had a get together. She is one of my closest friends whom I can’t refuse. I make it to a point to dress up accordingly as what she had told me to do so.
Upon, arriving at her house we instantly talk on several things we used to talk before, way back in college. I just found out that she’s learning to play internet casino, baking and some other stuff. I arrived at a conclusion that things have changed after three years from graduation. She has become mature and a fine young woman. Unlike before, now she learns how to enjoy recreation which I never seen in four year time in college. I think she’s tired of being boring. Well, I think that’s life, good for her she’s already mature.
