    No one would ever say "at this time" in present. I would say it talking about the past (or future) Like, "I went in the store, bought some cookies around 3:45, and at this time is when the robber came in and shot me"

    Right now is just сейчас.

    At this time sounds fine, Kamion. Why don't you go shovel your driveway of snow.
    Вот это да, я так люблю себя. И сегодня я люблю себя, ещё больше чем вчера, а завтра я буду любить себя to ещё больше чем сегодня. Тем что происходит,я вполне доволен!

    Taty, you might know this joke the Czechs say about the bulgarian language --

    български език е ляп и мъгък.
