Hi Precious I've never heard the phrase 'nose bleed ticket' before! Apparently, it is when you have a seat very high up in the stadium (and quite a long way from the action) so it is as if you are climbing a high mountain I think all your sentences are good. The prepositions "off of" look slightly strange together, but I think they work: - You'll never grow crops off of dusty land like that That sounds OK to me Dave
