I would have told her I would report the bar to A.A. And also MADD. And to the local newspaper and radio station. And to the local chamber of commerce.
And that I was a recovering alcoholic ( white lie there). But there are many out there who are and trying to avoid falling off the wagon. Sports bars should not exclude them.
I remember reading about Pamela Harriman’s second husband, Leyland Hayward, the producer of The Sound of Music. He only ate white food, white chicken, white potatoes and white vegetables. He died young anyways.
I think his name was Brandon Johnson before. A stripper who frequented Ft Lauderdale I think. Maybe wrong but he is one of those French Canadian cuties.
I’ve actually discussed it with one of my regulars. He declares the income he derives from our sessions but includes it with a side business he operates.
My sister has been in a gay relationship for over 18 years. For a number of years they both filed as single even though they were living together.
Then the tax authorities got after them and they had to restate their joint income going back 3 years. They were considered as common law partners for that time.
The math worked in their favour though as they were able to split their income and reduce the rate my sister paid as she was the higher earner.
Her partner though lost some benefits she was previously claiming as a low income person. She had to pay those back and got a wrist slapping from the Integrity Commissioner of Ontario.
She’s a fundamentally dishonest person though and we don’t get along.
Recently I was given documents to evaluate for a charitable organization I belong to. In one case they were dialogue to be used in a radio advertisement. In the other case they were job descriptions to be used in hiring employees for the organization.
In the former case the text seemed somehow flat and did not describe our organization the way I knew it.
In the latter case the descriptions were wildly off the mark in describing what we were looking for in employees.
I questioned each set of documents and was told they had used A.I. to generate the docs. I was appalled and since I am the chair of the organization they were withdrawn. I’ve been with the organization for over 10 years and chair of the board of directors for 10 years. So I know how it works.
But still. I can see how A.I. is being used by people who are trying to take short cuts and save time in otherwise using their brains.
So is anyone tempted to use A.I. in their posts here. Just curious.
I couldn’t resist staying in my gazebo tonight after it got dark. We are having an incredible run of fine weather that is unusual for this time of year. In a month it could be snowing.
In my experience the majority will host in the their hotels. But they are professionals that I hire, in the 25 to 45 or older age group. I think they are the majority in this business as they stick with it for many years. The young ones come and go.
