For the sake of reference, I'll number Dogdoc's question as #6.... 6. I'd have the appt. moved ahead two hours. But would also confirm the time, so we aren't ending up with a 4 hour difference in our appt. times!

6. back 7. If someone asks "do you mind if I sit here?", do you say yes or no? I say no, as in no, I don't mind. But I've heard people say yes, as in yes, please sit down.

7. "not at all, please have a seat!" Or better yet, I just tell them "go ahead," and gesture to the seat.

lunch dinner couch ** Additional question about the Saturday question. What if it is Thursday and you are talking about the upcoming Tuesday. Do you say "this" Tuesday or "next?" Now I said "this" Saturday because Saturday would be a part of this week. But I would say next Tuesday because is in the "next" week. I would think people might think I was talking about the Tuesday in this week even though it would be past it if I said "this" Tuesday.

I say: No, please, do sit down on the sofa and put your feet up. Why, you can sit there till this coming Saturday if you like, or even next Tuesday. In fact, I'd love it if you'd stay for breakfast. lunch, dinner and supper. We'll eat at east coast times so as not to be ahead of or behind the other kinfolk. Just give me a minute to move my time back so I can have my appointment moved up and I'll be right with ya to have a seat on the couch right next to ya. Wait! You ARE asking what I'd say to my mother, right??
