Title: Dinner tonight - weird
Post by: Cindy on August 20, 2011, 07:10:50 AM
I often go to the local hotel restaurant one a Saturday night for a steak meal. I have never had any problems, in fact total acceptance.

Tonight I got there about 7pm. Massive queue, I was told by one of my waitress friends, they had 165 covers. I was in the queue not knowing what to do. Dave the manager came up and said I know I always promised you a table but I have eight tables waiting. I have one special table but you will need to share. OK says I. 

So I ended up with a young couple, trying to get pregnant and an elderly man whose wife is dying and in an Nursing home. I could relate.

What a night.
They had never met a Cindy before. I had never met them.

Sue and I just hit it off, her husband Brian  was just a pool of laughs and a gorgeous in love fool idiot, I sat with Sue in the loo and we talked about guys and commitment and fear and babies and stuff. We even got the  'Why were you in the loo for so long stare'. Most of female life is discussed in the loo.
Tony the elderly guy just poured it all out, all great, he enjoyed talking and meeting us all.  He was totally OK with me.

What a night.

I'm exhausted in  a nice way.

Bed calls wish someone was in it

I was graet

I think it was pretty cool you got to share the table with some nice folks...  I really don't like going out to dinner alone... Glad you had a fine evening  :)

Hi Sis,

What I meant to say was that I was grateful for having the privilege of meeting such nice people. I would never suggest I  was great at anything.

What I did not include was that the elderly guys next door neighbours daughter came over to check out what was going on. She was there for a Hens night. I told him that he is going to have some interesting conversations.

It was nice though to confirm that people are accepting, friendly and like to enjoy themselves in a nice way. We had great food, some wine and lots of laughs.

Nothing to explain or anything that needs explanation. ->-bleeped-<- happens.

We try very hard to live.  I'd probably get agreement from you two girls that life isn't easy. And if we had a choice it would not have been this. But this is what we have. So we do what we do.
Jesse, I'll remind you of your promise to me. You will not suicide without my permission. I told you I would never give it.
So it is always time to move forward.

Hugs my Sisters. I think you know I love you deeply and I'm always here for you no matter how bad the times

And that's Cindy, loving, caretaking, supporting and a good sense of humor.
I don't think it's weird that people would like to have you at their table.

You're right.....you're great.

hugs

Cindy, as I read your story I was waiting for something weird to happen.  Sounds like you had a pretty typical night for the average gregarious woman.  Of course if you had crossdressed to look like a dude, that would have been VERY weird.

Hi Cindy, sounds like a fun night after all.  I have been flat out the last week with moving, so it's good to catch up.How have you been? I have been getting my house cleaned out and make the final move tomorrow. I'll give you a call when I get over there.

Jesse, I can relate.  I was in the job for 30 years, as they say there's nothing as ex as an ex-copper.  You survived that, you can survive anything darl.  Love the view in the avatar, promise me you'll be around to show me in person when I eventually get over there.

Karen.

What was the weird part?  Sitting with others at a dinner table?  Talking in the loo? The restaurant crowded?   I would find it interesting and fun.   I am glad you had an enjoyable time of it and confident enough to make it work.  I probably would be too nervous of the wrong thing being said.
