I've always heard it as high cotton. Here... at least, in Louisiana, it
means on top of the world... nothing could be better, life is good. Most of the time, I hear a "Hot Damn!" in conjunction to high cotton. Gosh, talk about replacing one xpression with another Grace "Marina" wrote in message ... "Sherry " wrote (But then again, I'll think I'm in tall cotton after using this old one so long) This was an interesting saying I've never heard before. What exactly does it mean? -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Email marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/frankiennikki |

I think it means, living high on the hog. Nothing could be better. I suppose
it relates back to if your cotton crop was doing really well, you'd have a great financial year, be well respected etc.. Karen "Victor Martinez" wrote in message ...

Generally, with manufacturers like Dell, HP, Gateway and most of all Apple it will cost you 2 to 3 times as much. If you buy it at a reseller then its a different story they will give you what you ask for in terms of price. |

(in article ): Sherry wrote: Whoa. I'm getting a new computer for my birthday. I'm so excited. (Even though it's just a cheapo Dell)....BUT I now have a circa 1996 Packard Bell, with Windows 95. I can't open half the websites people post, and if I do, it takes forever (if the thing doesn't just lock up). Forget animated things, and the sound is iffy. All I use a computer for is internet surfing and keeping up the little mailing list/newsletter labels for the Humane Society newsletter, so I never could really justify buying a new one. Does anyone know, is there any reason I should buy the upgrade and get Windows XP Professional instead of Windows XP home? Sherry Congratulations on the new computer. It's probaly not worth upgrading to proffesional, it's supposed to be more secure, but Service Pack 2 is set to be released in June which will have among other things, security enhancements. Wasn't service pack 2 supposed to be released back in January? |
