[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with the timing?  It is normal to eat dinner at 5 or 5:30 in the midwest.  I live in the midwest and my dinner parties all start at 4:30 or 5.   It's nice and everyone else does the same.[/quote]

How is that possible? Don't people in the midwest work an 8 hour day, plus time for lunch and a commute, even if it is a short one? [/quote]

They get to leave early because they are All. Just. So. Nice!

Unlike us [b]dickweeds[/b] on the coasts.  [/quote]

I love the term "dickweed!" Haven't heard it for years.

Anyway, late dinners do tend to be the norm on the east and west coasts, and early dinners are more common in the midwest, especially rural areas. [/quote]

A few years ago my brother was working in Missouri, and I went to visit him there.   I was really suprised how things opened and closed earlier there.  I even made a comment about it to a store manager and she told me that around there, it was common for the work day to be done and people home by about 4 pm or so.   Heck, even tv shows are an hour earlier there.  [/quote]
