I think she needs to read an etiquette book or something Answer: I think you need to learn how to communicate properly When you made the telephone call you should have explained clearly that the evening was Dutch She obviously thought you were asking her for a real date The next time you want to ask her out make it clear she pays her own freight then if she still makes you pay I'll send her a copy of my Amy Vanderbilt etiquette book There's a woman in our office who really gets to us All she does is carry on about how good she is how much she does for charity and how much we all look like stinkers in comparison We don't really know how to handle her because most of her holier-than-thou attitude is fiction She gets on our collective nerves because she spends her time at our desks talking and cutting down on our productivity I might add that she's the boss' sister-in-law and he doesn't like her any more than we do but he can't fire her I suggest you type out a four-page list of "good works" that need to be done in your community and hand it to her saying that since she is such a doer she needs some great new deeds to do in 1983 Add that your office would like a report one day a month during which you'll listen intently but that you would like to do your work without interruption in between reports A Robinson's Sob 27 a (GO PF Ak9 DPP Ak9 DA0RoN OUR BEST FOR BED AND BATH BATH SOLID COLOR TERRY AND VELOUR TOWEL IRREGULARS $1399 TWIN SET SHEET SET IRREGULARS AT 27-60 OFF AND MORE $2999 111111111 1999 FULLQUEEN FIRST-QUALITY COMFORTERS BY WAMSUTTA AND 60 OFF AND MORE From Fieldcrest Martex: Stevens and Cannon 7 In 100 cotton and cottonpolyester You'll even find some firstquality too but hurry Not all colors and sizes are available in all stores (Imperfections will not affect appearance or wear) If perfect Now Bath $5994999 Hand Wash $3504450 Bath sheets Robinson's Bath Shop 31 all stores except Palm Springs Flat sheetfitted sheetpillowcase matched sets in many of your favorite patternshurry for best selection No-iron cotonpolyester percale The irregularities?
