If they mixed up my order and something wrong is on my plate (e. g. something that would trigger food intolerances) I would talk to the server and send it back. If I just don't like the taste, I would know not to order it again next time.
I wouldn't get the idea to call the manager, I just talk to the server - has always worked for me.
A lot of people in the USA died from Covid-19. Ask some of the nurses/doctors what to expect when contracting it and if they'll get the vaccine themselves?
My niece's partner worked at the intensive care unit of the local hospital. He said this is NOT something you want to contract.
My parents didn't like my first boyfriend - because of his father (beyond any shadow of a doubt biggest a**hole you could meet). He was a good guy they grew to like very much in the more than 6 years we were together. Who I picked as my partner was always my decision and I wouldn't have listened anyway. On the other hand, my parents were a great team and my ideal of a partnership. I haven't been with a guy that ever treated me badly (or I him) but there were things with my ex that weren't right enough that it didn't work. None of them were "bad" though.
If she has any common sense, she will look through him. Is it possible in the States to look up if he had convictions etc.? If this is the case, you could show her. Otherwise just be there and hopefully, she will see sense if he is a "bad apple". At the end of the day, she has to live with him.
We are basically working from home since March and anyone that absolutely needed to travel could work from home. I won't be rising it with the current high figures (and probably still busy enough flights over Christmas), but once infection numbers go down and flights aren't too busy, there'll be some travelling.
Having good people in your life to rely on is vital.
I like the simpler lifestyle that working from home and staying more at home enabled me. Downside is not seeing my family by far as often as I would have liked.
Would be nice to catch up with some of the posters here.
I still hope to catch up with a few friends, haven't even seen them that often this year. I can't complain though, I'm not on my own and we it was a busy year.
Some people will be stuck at home on their own and it is good to be able to interact with people.
Lockdown tightening again on the 30th in Ireland. If possible, one or two friends that are on their own will join us, but we have to see how strict the measurements will be. Both have elderly parents and isolate themselves pretty much (same as us).
If this doesn't happen and the rest is in bed by 9 pm I'll join you.
