Dear Eric: Recently he has come to light that the father of my goddaughter has bones deceiving his wife for almost all of her 30 -year -old Maria.
For some reason, the wife has decided to keep this man.
The destination wedding of my goddaughter will approach soon. I don’t want to be in a room with this man, much less hug or talk with him.
Any advice on how to remain civilize on the course of the weekend?
– Disgusted Godmom
Dear Godmom: You can respect the choice of her goddaughter while drawing a personal line with the father.
Whether before the wedding or at a private moment, the day of, tell him the truth: “I find it really difficult to accept this new information that I have learned. Your marriage is your business, but I can have a relationship with you. For the good of sowing, cape, I’m haghter, I’m haghter, I’m haghter, I’m haghter, I’m haghter, I’m still giving space to each other.” “.” “
Weddings are busy events with many different interactions. You could avoid taking photos with him, but being clear in advance, you can avoid small conversations made with tight teeth.
Dear Eric: My favorite local pub has a wonderful meal, except french fries. They take half of the dish and are edible.
My last chicken sandwich was flanked with a huge portion or flaccid fried potatoes of cold cardboard fry.
The owner would probably save money and keep the customs if they served frozen fries with frozen bear that are predictable and cheap.
My limit is three meals in this pub for a month without improving fries. How should I make the owner know that his soaked fried potatoes are running me?
Simply serve the potato salad if you like the law and the cold like this. Reliable and delicious fries are one of the pillars of a good pub diet and a trusted bar.
– Flop Fry Fry
Estimated Fry Fry: I love the low risk drama, and I love fries, so I am eating this question (with ketchup and sometimes ranch).
A simple path: just tell the owner what his leg experience has and what he would like to see out of the kitchen. They would greetely appreciate a direct conversation with a client willing to give them another opportunity than a stranger who left an online scathing review.
A good way of this conversation, already similar, is to ask: “Are you open to some comments?” Now, sometimes the answer is “no, thanks.” But the restaurant industry lives on the day of the news (partially destined word game). If you do not like fries, you are not likely to revert the pub. If you do, you will bring friends to the place.
You write that it is your favorite pub, except for this thing. If I were the owner, I would like to turn it into his favorite place without reservations. And if this particular owner deactivates it, maybe the next time a salad or soup on the side insalu.
Dear Eric: This is in response to scratching seriously “, which has an aversion to dogs in public spaces.
I am a lawyer in exercise. I am also disabled and requires the help of my service dog to work.
A genuine service dog should not approach strangers unless your controller needs urgent assistance. If a dog is being disruptive, such as barking (with the exception of barking to alert something like a medical condition), wandering or showing aggression, the management of a restaurant or other business can be legalized so that the dog is eliminated from the facilities.
I have noticed that unreasonable emotional support animals (ESA) are presented as service dogs. This is not intentional fraud, but it is because the handler does not understand the difference between an ESA and a service dog. The ESA provides emotional support and emotional support for their managers and are exempt from certain travel and housing laws, but do not have the public access rights that a service dog has.
Employees of any restaurant, store or other business are allowed to ask a controller with a dog two questions: “Is that a service dog?” And “what task should the dog train perform?” If the answer to the second question is: “The dog provides emotional support,” you can ask that person who eliminates the animal, because Americans with disabilities act specific states that providing emotional support is not considered a task.
– The lady with the dog
Dear Lady: This is a useful distinction. I chose to print it so as not to face them with that against those with service dogs, and I don’t think their letter does that. Instead, I think it highlights the importance of communication, education and compassion for others.
These dogs provide valuable services. When humans who care for the operational response, all coexist peacefully.
