(laugh) He thought you must be thirsty. He didn't know about seltzer and spills.

That's nice.

One time at work, I spilled something on my jacket. My friend
hustled over to her desk to get me her seltzer, Quick, here's
some seltzer. I made it like she meant, Quick! Drink this!

We had a laugh.

I didn't know you were such a big bridge player! I don't even
think I remember how. Quite an accomplishment, Margaret.
To think some fool thought you should use a side door.

We used to call that "renege" when I played Hearts and Spades a lot.
The dictionary lists them as synonyms.

My Dad was a Life Master in Duplicate. He was always sort of
disappointed that none of his kids wanted to play bridge.

Many years ago I bussed tables at a very popular deli near where I grew
up. I was maybe 17 or 18 at the time and just starting college. That job
was brutal, and the owner of the place had a policy where web bus boys
would be charged a nickel for each packet of mustard, jelly, or butter
that we accidentally swept into our plastic dish bins. This deli
definitely recirculated unused condiment packets, but the packets were
sealed. Even the butter was in tiny little sealed plastic tubs.

That deli is still in business, although I have no idea if they still
maintain that policy with condiment packets.

bottles and hit the loo, I'd be more bold.

Easy for you, difficult for me. )

No, he knew. He didn't think we were entitled to the "free" seltzer,
about four ounces or less.

I think it is funny, too. )

I am not. Marcel is a good player, so much so, his name was listed in
the Bridge Encyclopedia for many years.

margaret suran

Yes, it does mean the same and both expressions are still used in
bridge, too, even though "revoke" much more so.

When I was young, playing bridge was almost a must. Much of your
social life depended on your ability to play that game. )

I've never taken anything home from a restaurant. But if the espresso
was really good, I've asked for the brand of the beans. If I haven't
seen it around I've asked if I could buy a pound and they usually let me

Bread is an extremely perishable food. after about 5 minutes on the
table it is almost inedible! Fresh baked rolls take very little time to
dry out and go stale which is why it has to be baked fresh every day. No
restaurant I have ever known of has ever re-served rolls to another
table, in some places if you even take them and the table refuses them
they get thrown out.
