Oh, yuck. But David is correct. Next time, say something.

see what ambivalence gets you.

My 78-year-old mother does the ambivalence routine on everything. I ask “what do you want to eat?” “I don’t care” is the response, no matter how many suggestions I throw out to her. It is SOoooo frustrating! And since I have to do the picking in the end, half the time through conversation while eating I find out I chose wrong. I love her so much, I just smile and go through it.

…throw in enough Baileys and you won’t notice what else is in there…

My drink of choice recently has been the Arnold Palmer: half tea, half lemonade.

I have to try that combination (cofftea) sometime. Can’t be much worse than some of the coffee I had while working with the Navy.

*Where do y’all wanna eat?"“I don’t care.”“How about Cici’s?”“Nah, we ate there last time.”“Okay, Shrimp Basket?”“Not today.”“Chow Tyme?”“I don’t feel like it today.”“Waffle House?”“Might as well.”

Can I have some half and half in my half and half?

Such a considerate hostess.
