Brainhi, that is it! I will never enjoy eating lunch in a diner, but I agree to go just to be friendly, I get frustrated with myself. I think I will memorize some of those sentences so I can get them out immediately and not have to think about how I will respond. It all seems very simple but for some reason is hard for me to implement. I worry about other people being offended, but it's silly -- if I ask someone to do something and they say they don't like to do X, then I am not offended.

Maria, I would be glad to give you some of these friends Do you like diners and movies?
