Sadie: “I suppose I could do that. How much are you willing to pay me?”
Nigel: “I didn’t say anything about paying you.”
Sadie: “Then I didn’t say anything about doing it.”
Nigel: “But I have leverage on you, my dear. I know what you did with that priest behind us.”
Sadie: “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t see any priest. Especially not the one that is looking at us.”
Nigel: “He’s looking at you, because he knows that you just stiffed him on his change. He’s too meek to say anything about it, because that’s how you get when you sit in a little hut all day taking confession, but I have no qualms about reporting you to the manager. Unless you satisfy my simple request, you’ll be thrown into the streets as the wretch that you are.”
Sadie, sighing: “Okay, fine, you win. I’ll bring you some extra ranch dressing for your cobb salad.”
Nigel: “Splendid.”

This is my tactic for getting the correct drink at my Starbucks. I hate it when they mess with my Chile Mocha Latte.

To paraphrase, you can’t always get what you want, but if you threaten sometimes, you get what you need… 😉

I see a theme of re-posting recent posts! Still fuzzy-headed from the flu and cold medicine?

I think you’re referring to the three recent posts I pulled over from “Crusty Pie”, posts which haven’t actually appeared on this blog before. In the survey I did a bit back, you indicated that you didn’t mind me cross-posting. Have your feelings changed? These are things I need to know, in order to keep you reasonably content with your visits to Bonnywood…

Oh, not at all – I’m one of those “observers” who points out everything, and sometimes the way I point them out seems critical even when no criticism is intended.
I think that I spiked my eggnog a bit more than I should have!

And I’m one of the people who sees criticism when it doesn’t exist. “OMG! DS is not pleased with something I’ve done. I’ve got to kindly inquire as to the issue without irritating her or she will leave and NEVER COME BACK!!!” Or something like that… 😉

LMAO! I see criticism where it doesn’t exist, as well…it is something I work on daily! I’ve been told more than once that I’m “hyper-sensitive” – my response to that is, “Well, I was raised by people who were hyper-critical, so I’m hyper-vigilant!” At least I’m better about it…I think!
