@randeedawn My family always said something was “leaning toward Fisher’s” when something was crooked. I thought everyone said this. Additionally I don’t even know who/where Fisher’s is.
There was a little coffee shop where two people arrived and approached the counter.
“Five coffees ☕️ please. Two for us and three pending.”
They paid, they took their two coffees and left.
I asked the waiter. "What’s this about pending coffees?"
“Wait and you'll see."
Some more people came in.
Two girls asked for a coffee each, they paid and left.
The following order was for seven coffees and it was made by three women -
Three for them and four pending coffees.
I was left wondering...what is the meaning of the pending coffees, they leave.
Then, a man dressed in worn clothes, who looks like he might be homeless, arrives at the counter and asks sincerely...
“Do you have a coffee pending?”
“Yes we do, sir.”
They serve him a coffee.... I got my answer.
People pay in advance for a coffee that will be served to whoever can't afford a hot drink.
This tradition started in Naples.
Amazingly, it has spread throughout the world’s cities and towns.
It’s also possible to order not only “pending coffees” but also a sandwich or a full low cost meal.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could all start doing this in the cities and towns where we live?
Small kindnesses like this can impact so many lives, in ways we could never imagine.
Maybe we should all try it.

@MeaghenRoss@baddestmamajama City people may not know, but many septic tanks have overflow drains which outlet to creeks. Go stand in that for the duration of the wedding. Then everyone can have diarrhea for the reception! Fun times.
As a once-was Catholic, I faced this at a funeral today. I sat and stood. I didn’t kneel. I didn’t recite. I did share the sign of peace. Anyone else’s input would be enlightening.
If you were raised in a church where the service involves movement .. standing, sitting, kneeling … and you’ve since left the church, when you are in the church for a ceremony .. funeral, wedding … what do you do? Do you do all the things you know or just sit or only some? 1/2
