@arth I've always said and heard nevis with a short e like clevis.

@burnoutqueen @vadhakara @jalefkowit Or taxed like they ought to be.

This is basic economics. It's not rocket science. If we took the income tax code from 1958, let's say, and reinstated it today, almost all of our social and political problems would disappear.. And we would recreate a thriving economy, funding great advancements in science and technology, and everyone would be fed.

@jalefkowit I'm old and I have no doubt that's true. And there are businesses that do this. The restaurant where I work as a chef does it. The hospital where I undergo medical treatment and cancer treatment does it. I'm impressed. Blown away by the quality of service. And yes this is how you win customers.

@MrEdgarBass Hello. I thought I replied to this but I didn't.

It isn't that the groups throw us off per se. And business groups, and pharmaceutical presentations make a perfect sense.

What puzzles us at the restaurant is who has a dozen personal friends they want to take to dinner? A foursome of two couples, sure. But 12 or 14 personal friends you want to take to dinner, all together? Who has that many friends, much less that many all sitting at the same table? It just seems bizarre to us. But, whatever. We are here to serve.

@MrEdgarBass No. The restaurant was founded 65 years ago in a building that was formerly a hotel that was built 123 years ago. We have a small dining room that seats about 50 people maximum, and a cafe/bar with six booths. The dining room has a real fireplace. Very romantic.

Our specialty is the food which is Calabrian Italian style food. People come from out of state to eat at our restaurant. Some of them fly in on a private jet just to eat at our restaurant. We are considered by many to be the best Italian restaurant in all of West Virginia.

We are open thursday, friday, saturday, and the restaurant is packed full every night.

People frequently rent the entire restaurant for special functions, but we have no party room or anything like that.

@Nonilex I remember schoolmates using crutches, wearing leg braces, and in wheelchairs from polio. My girlfriend 55 years ago suffered permanent damage from whooping cough. My father-in-law suffered permanent damage from mumps. My uncle died at the age of five from diphtheria.

@MrEdgarBass @ai6yr Same here.

@ajbobo yes, that does happen occasionally. But usually it's like a bunch of old people who are all friends. Who has that many friends? Lol who wants that many friends? Not me.
