That's another thing that we wouldn't have had if we went to a restaurant. I'm fine with hosting overall, as well, just surprised by this individual.nylonthreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671562223645258571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35813677.post-57031023692373897412009-04-22T15:18:00.000-04:002009-04-22T15:18:00.000-04:00IMGoph,

When I was on my 14 year break from school, suggestions that I go back and finish; no matter how well intentioned, polite, and kind they were and no matter who they came from; were always greeted with scorn and defensiveness. Believe me, no one knows better than he does that he needs to go back and get his degree. Cut him a little slack on this one, because I'm sure he's not cutting himself any.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />HRHill Rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08778134491399419096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35813677.post-16015631193745361842009-04-21T06:20:00.000-04:002009-04-21T06:20:00.000-04:00I'd still rather entertain people at home than be ...I'd still rather entertain people at home than be trapped at some restaurant eating brunch ("Take two good meals and make one lousy one, but with a slice of melon. $22.95.

That way no one does a lot of work or spends a lot of money buying food. The Europeans have the right idea. Their home is their castle. They entertain at restaurants that are set up for it. A different room for each course. The last course is in a room where you sit and talk and no one is trying to get you to leave so they can serve the next guy.Grandma Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763707426946107127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35813677.post-77162440085164160122009-04-20T17:04:00.000-04:002009-04-20T17:04:00.000-04:00Like I said: two years tops before she walks out o...Like I said: two years tops before she walks out on his ass.
