TV and telecommunication service is one sector that's experiencing negative inflation LOLmeaning the supplier is selling below their production cost, sometimes TV and cell phone cost is much less than a nice BBQ dinner outside LOL

I'm so "NOT" upset that I forgot about this when I woke up this morning until after dinner.

The quick "dinner party" advice I always give is to figure out what you need to make to cover expenses, then divide that by 15 nights.

I will buy dinner and a beer! 

I think that one also starts at 6:00 but some go early to order dinner. usually 30 - 40 folks and mostly different from the monthly group attendees.Good luck!

I remember a staple of discussions around the dinner table was the inevitable Baltimore/DC comparison (when DC was the murder capital of the US during Marion Barry's tenure as mayor and Baltimore was pretty far up there in violent crime).

I would say only to avoid the dinner timeframe - no one wants to talk to someone when their hungry or if they are enjoying dinner with family. 

I went so far as to drive by a house, and saw a family eating dinner in there happily.

Huge as in, "winner, winner, chicken dinner" when the judge serves up the verdict.

Background: a couple years ago my brother had his wedding rehearsal dinner at a winery near my mom's house.
