GUEST,leeneia BS: Rant... why don't people speak properly? (106* d) RE: BS: Rant... why don't people speak properly? 12 May 15

Gnu, I feel that I know you well enough to go beyond my mere expression of sympathy. Is the other person you speak of your mother?

I think she is trying to keep from imposing on you by asking for something specific, while you are trying to get a specific answer from her. The result is that you are driving one another up a wall.

I suggest you start by letting her know what you would like to do. (We can assume that you are not going to offer her something she hates) For example:

1. I was thinking of having scallops tonight. Would you like that?

2. I can make hamburgers or macaroni tonight. Which would you like?

3. I'm in the mood for spaghetti tonight. What do you thinK?

4. I need to clear out leftovers. Would you like the scallops or the roast duck Toulouisienne?

How does that sound, Gnu?
