#Rummy Culture
Text
Weird thing about being in the J&W fandom is that it’s a very small fandom centered around an incredibly well-known archetypal character.
Everyone who’s engaged with pop culture in the last hundred years knows the name Jeeves and associates it with the image of a British manservant. Jeeves the pop culture icon and Jeeves the character are two different things that exist separately from each other. And they can’t both exist in the same head at the same time. I used to have the same image of “Jeeves” that we all received through osmosis, and now it’s GONE
Once you’ve eaten of the tree of knowledge that Jeeves is a poetry-reciting weirdo who burns clothes he doesn’t like, you can never get that pop culture archetype back. One day someone is going say “Jeeves” in reference to a generic butler and my head is going to snap around before I remember that we are not, in fact, thinking of the same guy

for part 2 of the Japanese speaking one, can u do one where reader and chishiya fall for each other and the reader wants to confess to him in Japanese but doesn’t know how and he helps her? ty :)
Language Barrier - Part 2
Since this is a second part for the original prompt, I've kept it also in the AWIAF fic world, but more towards the end.
Hope you enjoy!
(Chishiya x oc/reader)
---------------------------------------------------------
‘You’ve improved.’ 
Chishiya emerged from the hallway and sat down in the armchair opposite mine. Even in candlelight, the furniture store was cosy and quiet, the perfect place for curling up and studying in a comfy reading chair. With the games suspended after the Ten of Hearts, life in the Borderlands had slowed. On one hand, we were waiting for something to happen at any moment, yet the more days that drifted by, the more we were lulled into a sense of security. Kuina had ventured out earlier to find supplies, leaving Chishiya and I alone in the store. 
He had spent most of the evening upstairs, tinkering with a can of orange soda and wires, whilst I focused all my attention on reading out sentences and committing new words to memory. Ever since my first game - Rummy - where I had barely understood the rules being read out, I had been chipping away at the Japanese language, making a note of and practicing phrases I had heard Kuina and Chishiya use. Although I was still laughably bad at it, I was actually quite proud of how far I’d come. 
‘ありがとう.’ Thank you, Chishiya.
‘Your pronunciation is clearer too,’ he commented. ‘You’ve stopped blending the words together. I can actually understand what you’re saying.’ 
I thought for a minute about how I wanted to respond, double checking a certain word in my pocket dictionary. ‘あの缶に何してるの?’ What are you doing with that soda can? 
Earlier, I’d briefly seen him connecting it up to a string of wires, but he had worked quietly and avoided divulging any information. I hadn’t wanted to pester him at the time, but I was genuinely curious about his latest project. 
‘爆弾を作っている,’ he replied simply. I’m creating a bomb.
‘Wait, really?’ 
That was definitely not what I thought he was going to say. At all. How did he expect me to react to this? Chishiya didn’t exactly look like a terrorist in the making, nor an angry schoolboy locked up in his bedroom surfing the internet. Seeing Chishiya’s raised brow and lack of response, I quickly realised I had slipped up. 
‘本当か’ I corrected myself. ‘どうやって学びましたか’ Really? How did you learn to do that?
‘学んだ,’ he said, simply. ‘学びました is too formal. You’ve never spoken formally with me anyway.’ 
He explained his answer in quick, fluid Japanese, and although I understood some of the words he’d used, he was running through each sentence far too fast. The words only stood out individually like stars, and I couldn’t quite harpoon them together to form anything coherent. And given the mischief dancing in his expression, he knew exactly what he was doing. 
‘I give up,’ I admitted. ‘You’re speaking too fast. And I don’t know half of those words.’ 
He didn’t admonish me, like I’d expected, but instead simply translated his answer. ‘I taught myself over time, the same way I made that taser. Once you have a grasp of circuits and wiring, you’re already halfway there.’ 
This would also explain how Chishiya knew how to screw with the wiring in Niragi’s bedside lamps. Either he payed a bizarre amount of attention at school, which I couldn’t see him doing, or he had too much spare time on his hands. 
I frowned, flicking through my notes. ‘And you genuinely thought I’d be able to understand all that wire talk?’ 
‘You never know. It could come in useful in a game.’ 
I couldn’t argue with that. But in actuality, I did need his help with a certain phrase. There was something I wasn’t quite sure about - it was said differently depending on formality, but as I was still dipping my feet into Japanese culture, I wasn’t quite confident about the difference between each variant and when they should be used. 
‘Hey, Chishiya? There’s something I’m not sure how to say.’ I flipped my notes around so that he could read them better, though he simply stared at them with apathy.
‘What is it?’ 
‘Well… I’m really grateful to Kuina, for being my friend throughout all this craziness,’ I explained carefully. ‘I wanted to tell her that I love her, because I really do. But I didn’t want to use the wrong “I love you”. I know there’s 好き, and there’s 大好き. But this dictionary translates it as 愛している. If Kuina’s my friend, which one do I use?’ 
Chishiya closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the armchair. ‘Kuina already knows you’re her friend. There’s no need to say it.’ 
‘But what if I want to?’ 
‘Then you’d just use 好き or 大好き at the most,’ he said. Half asleep like this, it was uncanny how much he resembled a cat, or even a fox. ‘But you’re not really asking for Kuina’s sake.’ 
My heart shuddered. 
He knows?
I swallowed, nervous that I had been caught out so easily. ‘And if I’m not actually asking for Kuina, which one would I use instead?’ 
His mouth tilted upwards. That sly, sly man. ‘It depends on how you feel. 愛している is only used in movies.’ 
‘And you wouldn’t use 好き or 大好き?’ 
‘Maybe,’ he said. ‘If you’re a schoolgirl.’ 
‘And people definitely don’t use 愛している in real life?’ 
‘Nobody really says these things,’ he replied curtly. ‘It’s too embarrassing for most Japanese people.’
Except I’m not Japanese.
I didn’t reply, muling over each of the three possibilities. One was too mushy and gushy to use in real life. The other two were apparently too simplistic. From what I knew of Japanese society so far, people didn’t usually say these things out loud. Love and affection was something to be expressed in small actions and gestures. 
One eye cracked open. ‘Well?’ 
‘Well what?’ 
‘After all that, aren’t you going to say anything?’ 
Now it was my turn to smirk. ’Only when you’re not expecting it.’ 
Faintly entertained, he sat up straighter, pulling himself out of his catnap. His small break over, he retreated back upstairs and returned to tinkering with the can. The evening drifted on, and I did try to stay awake in case Kuina returned with goodies. But as the darkness crept in and the candles played magic tricks with shadows on the walls, I sank down into a different darkness altogether, dreaming of sand and chlorine, playing cards and bullets. 
In my dream state, I hadn’t realised I was shivering until the softness of a blanket was wrapped around me. A pair of hands gently removed my notebook, pen and dictionary. Barely awake, I slid my eyes open a fraction, registering the silhouette walking away from where I was curled up in the armchair. 
‘Chishiya,’ I murmured. ‘もう愛している.’ 
I love you too.

hiii I absolutely love how you draw rosamund. I was wondering if you had drawn/would draw either rosamund kicking the wicked faires ass or her and ylfa playing gin rummy at baba yagas or something. or just more of her in general, I love her and have written like 4 fics of her to various Crane Wives songs....
aw, thank you so much! the image of rosamund, baba and ylfa all sat around the table with playing cards is very fun. (although i have no idea what a gin rummy is so it's sort of hard to visualize―these are moments when watching something not from my language/culture catches up with me)
i don't really take requests but i love her too! i've never listened to crane wives so maybe it's time to check them out with your fic :)

crowd vs. critic single take // THE APARTMENT (1960)
Tumblr media
Note: This is a modified version of a review originally written for ZekeFilm. Photo credits: IMDb.com.
Need a creative way to climb the corporate ladder? C.C. “Bud” Baxter might have found the solution. To garner his bosses’ favor, he lends his apartment out to them for their extramarital trysts. But as if scheduling the time he can spend at home weren’t complicated enough, he discovers a new wrinkle: the co-worker he’s trying to romance (Shirley MacLaine) is one of the mistresses his residence accommodates. 
Tumblr media
CROWD // Writer-director Billy Wilder got a kick out of straightforward character dramas, and he found his mojo when he was writing “just” a man and a woman talking. He found it in Sabrina and Sunset Blvd., but his mojo arguably worked its magic best in The Apartment. (No matter how you rank those three, we can agree they all beat Love in the Afternoon.) Lemmon and MacLaine bring fully realized people to a New York City apartment, he an insecure conformist, she a wounded spark. They’re both dreamers of a kindred sort, ones who yearn for the stability that comes with unconditional acceptance. For something so simple, The Apartment digs deeper and darker than you’d think if you’ve only seen the image of Lemmon and MacClaine’s playful hand of gin rummy. Yes, it’s witty (“When you’re in love with a married man, you shouldn’t wear mascara.”), but it’s just as heartbreaking. (In the age of #MeToo, it weighs in a new way.) Today’s Hollywood may not be so enamored with stories that feel this small, but today’s audiences will find it just as moving and winsome.
POPCORN POTENTIAL: 8.5/10
Tumblr media
CRITIC // I get a kick out of the original posters for this film: “Movie-wise, there has never been anything like The Apartment, love-wise, laugh-wise, or other-wise!” While that sounds like typical marketing hyperbole, the Academy seemed to agree: The Apartment was nominated for 10 awards and won 5, including top dogs Best Original Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture. 
Would the today’s Academy be so enamored with Wilder’s writing/directing/producing gig? I don’t think so, but that says more about the their current tastes than about this title. Voters now like their films historical (12 Years a Slave, Argo, The King’s Speech), artsy/experimental (Moonlight, Birdman, The Artist, Parasite, Nomadland, Everything Everywhere All at Once), or issues-focused (Spotlight, The Hurt Locker, Slumdog Millionaire, The Shape of Water, Green Book), and they like them most when they can combine them. A straightforward, contemporary character drama about a 9-to-5 office job wouldn’t rank high their Oscar bait checklist; so much so, the only Best Picture nominees in the last 10 years with any resemblance are CODA, Lady Bird, Marriage Story, and Silver Linings Playbook. But even if this film isn’t the Oscar bait we’re familiar with today, don’t underestimate the poignant performances actors like Lemmon, MacLaine, and Fred MacMurray can find in a Wilder script or the commentary on corporate culture a Wilder script can find.
ARTISTIC TASTE: 9/10

Leftist Lula Will Move to the Center on the Military
The new Brazilian president will try to keep Bolsonaro from co-opting his generals, and seek greater cooperation with the Pentagon on hemispheric security.
Tumblr media
In 2005, when I was a 3-star vice admiral and senior military assistant to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, I met in Brasilia with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, universally known as Lula. He was about a year into his first term as Brazil’s president. The immediate impression was of a tough, working-class leader who famously lost a finger in an accident while he was a metalworker and trade unionist decades earlier.
He and Rumsfeld had a very friendly exchange, despite their deep political and cultural differences — Lula is a global socialist, and Rummy was a rock-ribbed American Republican. I watched them essentially charm each other with their shared sense of hard work, grit and humor.
Rumsfeld praised Brazil’s major role in commanding a big multinational peacekeeping mission in Haiti, and Lula positively glowed. While they agreed to disagree on leftist leader Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and his role in the region, overall it was a very amicable and indeed friendly exchange.
Brazil’s trajectory, and Lula’s, in the intervening years has been difficult, to say the least. Commodity prices dropped. Lula’s hand-picked successor, Dilma Rousseff, had a failed presidency and was impeached. Lula himself was convicted of corruption charges and served time in jail.
Now he is back at the helm of a huge and important country at a turbulent time in the larger world. What should we expect from Lula 2.0? What are the implications both in the Americas and in the world?

Rummy Satta
In the realm of gaming and gambling, few activities blend skill and chance as seamlessly as Rummy Satta. This intriguing amalgamation of the classic card game Rummy with elements of betting, or "Satta" in Hindi, has garnered a dedicated following among enthusiasts seeking both mental stimulation and the thrill of uncertain outcomes.
Rummy, a game deeply rooted in tradition and strategy, is renowned for its rich history and widespread popularity. Originating from the United States in the early 20th century, Rummy has evolved into various forms, each with its own set of rules and nuances. The game typically involves arranging cards into sets and runs, employing strategic maneuvers to outwit opponents and declare victory.
On the other hand, "Satta" refers to the practice of betting or wagering money on uncertain outcomes, often associated with games of chance. While Satta has faced scrutiny due to its potential for exploitation and addiction, it remains a prevalent form of entertainment in many cultures, offering participants the allure of quick riches and adrenaline-fueled excitement.
The fusion of Rummy and Satta creates a unique gaming experience that appeals to a diverse audience. At its core, Rummy Satta retains the fundamental mechanics of traditional Rummy, requiring players to meld cards into valid combinations while striving to minimize their points. However, the addition of betting introduces an element of risk and reward, elevating the stakes and intensifying the competitive atmosphere.
Tumblr media
One of the key distinctions of Rummy Satta lies in its dynamic nature, where strategic prowess and calculated risks play pivotal roles in determining the outcome. Players must not only possess a thorough understanding of Rummy's rules and tactics but also navigate the complexities of betting, assessing probabilities and anticipating opponents' moves. This delicate balance between skill and chance ensures that every game is a riveting test of wits and nerve.
Furthermore, Rummy Satta fosters a sense of camaraderie and social interaction among participants, fostering bonds forged through shared experiences and mutual excitement. Whether played casually among friends or in organized tournaments with high stakes, the game cultivates a vibrant community of enthusiasts united by their passion for cards and the thrill of uncertainty.
However, it's essential to approach Rummy Satta responsibly, recognizing the potential risks associated with gambling and exercising restraint to avoid adverse consequences. While the allure of winning big may be enticing, it's crucial to maintain perspective and prioritize enjoyment over financial gain.
In conclusion, Rummy Satta stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of both Rummy and betting, offering a captivating fusion of skill and chance that captivates players worldwide. With its rich strategic depth, dynamic gameplay, and inherent excitement, Rummy Satta continues to enthrall enthusiasts, serving as a testament to the enduring allure of gaming in all its forms.

More things I think would happen if Jeeves and Wooster were on DS9
Part 1 Part 1.5
It's a bit harder in space than in London for Bertie's relatives and school friends to track him down and beg for favors. Unfortunately, Jeeves’s reputation as a problem-solver has spread around the station, and the problems Bertie's NEW friends bring to him are even more ridiculous.
Week after week: "Help, I got Zanthi fever at the Gratitude Festival and now my fiancée won't speak to me"—"I love a girl from a few star systems over, but on her homeworld unmarried men and women are only allowed to communicate via each other's same-gender parent and her mom hates me"—"Your Uncle Tom wants a rare silver thing but this asshole Ferengi trader won't let him have it" (sometimes his relatives DO visit)
When he doesn’t end up with dubiously legal, stolen, or dangerous alien merchandise smuggled aboard his ship against his will (and also when he does), he keeps managing to stumble coincidentally into the exact combination of words and actions that make up some alien culture's courtship ritual (nobody told him that on Glorgon, pushing somebody into a body of water is considered the first step in a marriage proposal!)
The Gussie/Madeline/Spode love triangle follows him to space, obviously. No matter where he is in the galaxy, fiancé(e)s of the week will come and go, but the Gussie/Madeline/Spode love triangle is a universal constant. There is no galaxy or universe he can escape to where the triangle will not follow.
I feel like this goes without saying, but Gussie is a human scientist stationed on Bajor to study newts native amphibious life forms found in the planet's rivers. He and Bertie still went to school together. Spode is a firebrand Bajoran nationalist politician who had ties to the Circle before their failed coup, but not quite enough for anything to be proved against him.
Bassett Madeline is a Bajoran astronomer who writes poetry on the side and visits the station sometimes to help with research on the wormhole. She’s actually a very qualified scientist, but there’s nothing stopping her from knowing how the stars work AND believing they’re the Prophets’ daisy chain.
Kira really, REALLY wants to like her. She wants to like her so badly. Another highly accomplished religious Bajoran woman is visiting, she should be thrilled! They have so much to talk about! Madeline's fervor toward their shared faith is nothing less than admirable and inspiring and an example to us all, and not at ALL "mawkish" or "a bit much," JULIAN, and no Kira does NOT have a headache, but on second thoughts maybe she should head to the infirmary just in case.
Fortunately, Madeline is usually on the station to work with Jadzia, who regards her mushy tendencies with gentle amusement.
Kira eventually warms to Madeline somewhat when, one day, she (Madeline) visits the station after a fight with Gussie, and Jadzia, taking pity, invites her to play Camelot with her and Kira in the holosuites. Kira has to grit her teeth through the first half, but the three of them end up bonding when something inevitably goes wrong with the safety protocols and they have to fight a real dragon or something. Kira still wouldn't call Madeline her best friend, but she can find it in herself to tolerate the daisy-chain talk with a more bonhomous spirit.
Bertie has no idea any of this is happening, but is just grateful that Jadzia managed to whisk Madeline off to the holosuites before she could try to marry HIM again. He has the Bajoran Rite of Separation memorized by heart and he's running out of bowls.
He also isn't sure what all that was about when Jadzia assured him that she's got this, don't worry about it, you go on and spend some quality time with Jeeves, and then winked at him. Or why this made Jeeves tighten his jaw by the minutest degree and disappear to "supervise repairs," even though Bertie is almost certain there are no repairs left to be done.
It's all a bit rummy, but Jadzia is a dependable sort of cove, and if she says there's nothing to worry about then he trusts there's nothing to worry about. She's a bit like Jeeves in that respect, what? So he shrugs it off and goes to play darts with Julian and Miles instead.
Bertie is obviously a common fixture at the dartboard in Quark's. He also plays tennis with Julian sometimes (Miles being kind of done with tennis after what happened last time). Quark tried to start a betting pool on their games one time, but hit a snag when it turned out that many of the non-human bar customers had trouble telling the competitors apart.
Bertie once sat with Jadzia over a couple drinks as she patiently tried to explain the concept of joined Trill to him (he had been asking about why Sisko calls her "old man"). The discussion ended with Jadzia kindly patting him on the shoulder and inviting him to a game of Dabo.
As it happens, there weren't really any repairs to be done on the ship, but in pretending he was carrying out inspections Jeeves DID discover a hidden device on the warp engine that would have caused everyone on the station to hallucinate their worst enemy's face onto random strangers when the engine was engaged, so the day wasn't a complete wash.
(He kept the device instead of reporting it, naturally. You never know what might come in handy some day. But the plot would have fallen apart anyway, as the aliens who'd planted it suddenly found themselves succumbing to infighting after their first officer received an anonymous message alerting them to the fact that the captain had been planning to short the crew on their pay.)

Tales from an All-Night Hospital
My hospital roommate did not have a good prognosis. I'm lying on my back and, under the influence of interesting pharmaceutical cocktails, marveling at how the bed can be adjusted. I'm not the only person at the largest hospital in South Puget Sound for Full Frontal Feline Assault.
Yes, I am trying HARD to mine some humor into the situation because, #@($*Y#@%(Y things are grim in my head--I'm missing work and I also missed my colon exam AND my very, very important Cancer Screen because I wound up here.
For obvious reasons, I do not divulge the details. I can say that she was getting the best of care. That her health issues were making experts scratch their heads in bafflement that the concerning body parts weren't smiling and saying "Cheese!" for their imaging tech. And I never once saw what she looked like, but her visiting offspring were an astonishing demonstration of the broad range of what was genetically possible in a WASP bloodline. Offhand I'd guess Northern Italian-Alpine. A son was dusky and swarthy and could have merrily been wiping Pacific Ave with a bocce ball tournament even though he was in his mere 60's. A daughter was the "White as rye bread" towering version over two meters in height.
Because logistics is its own terrible deity, she was placed further from the bathroom even though she was supposed to do a lot of bathroom activity. Here I am full of enough opioids that I'm wistfully thinking of the days back when my peristaltic action was a reliable event. I don't know how much attention she pays to me, but after a day it appears she has been very alert to her surroundings.
When a child on the other side of the privacy screen asked what messed me up, she strongly suggested it was a bobcat.
This made me think, not so fondly, of the days when my twin was working a slog job at our hometown's hospital in WV nicknamed "Death Valley" and they were too cheap to light the freaking parking lots properly and two people had to go out with the garbage and when she walked out with Bob, he tossed the bag of waste into the dumpster and scared the bobcat (no relation to Bob) that was already in there and it jumped zing out of the dumpster and used his chest as a launching pad to leap forever into that good night while two hospital employees raged, raged, against the dearth of light.
Another thing my hospital roommate was doing. Just in case things made a turn for the worst, she was getting rid of the stuff she didn't want. Again, I have to be very careful about not giving away personal details, but this is the upshot of it all:
Mom (my roommate) had decided in the maturity of her 8+decades she wasn't going to mess around and those heirlooms she had been joylessly dragging around since Grandma Pearlie kicked the bucket (or condescended to make an appointment to join her ancestors, I'm not sure)? She wasn't going to be like Grandma Pearlie.
I am not sure how long I laid in my hospital bed with a zero window view of the snow-caped volcanos while Roomie made her kids play cards for heirlooms, but it seemed like a long time.
Think CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY only mix it up with professional card games that require a minimum of two players. Most of us would think of GIN RUMMY, but towards the end I was thinking of the less well known game called SPITE AND MALICE.
There were a lot of thoughtful old objects that needed, shall we be direct, a home or at the very least, an institution. Perhaps along the lines of TINKERTOPIA. For those of you unfamiliar with the Left Coast's cultural paradigm, think ARCHIE McPHEE only without the inappropriate mummified mermaid (oh my god, so inappropriate) and they're in Seattle anyway. Tinkertopia is a thoroughly Grit City institution, where you can walk in on any given day and find something from the banal (scrap paper) to the ehh? (the blacksmith's anvil in the middle of the shop with a sign that says HAUNTED: NOT FOR SALE!)
Tumblr media
or the book that was basically THE HISTORY OF DEAD WHITE MEN'S WALKING STICKS normally for $100 and they were offering $10 to please, God, get it off out hands. Now, please.
Tumblr media
So here's Hospital Mom who has two specific goals in life before she crosses over that metamorphically limned river and rests in the shade of the trees:
The punch bowl.
Under Round 1, the oldest daughter lost the game for the punch bowl. In fifteen minutes of quiet slap-slap of pasteboard paper Mom got...bloody with the game and I sensed her victory when Daughter suddenly switched her language to Oldest Born Coping Mechanisms and started talking (uncertainly at first, then with growing confidence), about how why yes, she'd take Great-Great-Grandma's green punch bowl home in a heartbeat because it would be just the thing for Christmas parties.
Untranslatable to this transcription is inflection, but I have heard identical tones from a used car salesman forced to accept a dreadful beater car (named Sanford from Sanford & Son and maybe I mean the TV show with Redd Foxx and maybe I mean the Tacoma version where you can peruse a sarcophagus). Why, no, I'm just thrilled to have this opportunity, sir. How many miles did you say? That probably won't impact the resale value for parts and smelting.
I will probably go to my grave wondering how bad the punch bowl was because at the end of it, the daughter was speculating how it would be a great Christmas party decoration if it was wrapped up in twinkle lights first.
This leads me to imagine a lime-green monstrosity of glass, a shade similar to a disastrous memory of working for a catering gig in WV when a local mayor contracted us to cater a 7:20 am breakfast to a state governor infamous for approaching the Hour of Dawn already drunk as a plaid skunk. That horrible contract included lime punch for a flipping breakfast, like, hello, Mayor, we all know you're trying to deny you ever lived for ten minutes in a trailer on the Eastern Panhandle, but lime punch (the unholy Satanic marriage of lime sherbet dissolved into a seething froth of Sprite or 7-Up or an off-brand clear carbonated soda) just does not DO for a breakfast, especially when the guest of honor you want to toady up to is three sheets to the wind and ready to barf all over his tailored polyester blend as soon as he smells Covington, VA's pulp mill effluem on the north-bearing winds.
The punch bowl is thusly dispensed to the offspring.
That left...something even worse.
A coffee-drinking set.
For those of you who have not yet encountered these, coffee sets are usually china, porcelain, or something just as chippable and delicate with limited units and hard to replace. Common to rare in style, they are unified in their difficulty for replacement parts. If you think tea sets are fiddly, you haven't a patch on coffee sets. Tea sets at least have the comfort of too many pieces and a huge tray to carry it all on...coffee sets for some reason are normally doomed to be an awkward shape for human lips upon the rim, miserly proportions, inconsistent patterns, and what authorix Lilian Jackson Braun described as "fingertrap handles".
Coffee sets are an increasingly common source of bafflement to the average North American, who will rationalize that if the coffee doesn't taste great at least there's a lot of it. Hence the slight embarrassment we get when we order a cup of joe smaller than 20 ounces. A cup that holds about 4 ounces or 120 ml in the New Money is...not up to the task at hand.
Once in a while some company decides (revenge against idiot North Americans?) to make an exclusive set and it is packed and marketed like the greatest thing since pre-sliced enriched white bread. These jokers really get going after economic hardship eras, like the American Civil War/War of Southern Treason, or WWI, WWII, and a strange period where people tried to pretend the rest of the world didn't know coffee from tea.
Or if you want to be overly realistic about it, didn't know chicory from fireweed or roasted holly leaves.
By the time I checked out of the hospital two days later, I still never learned what was so specifically awful about that coffee set. I just know that Mom and her offspring never directly hinted on it...they just invariably said this. No matter who they were, they would refer to the set like this in hushed tones:
"The...(pause) coffee set."
Every.
Time.
It is always the story you don't know, the tale that got away, that will haunt you to your grave.
Like my work? Buy me a Ko-Fi!

Mastering Moderation: The Art of Enjoying Card Games and Rummy Responsibly 
In the world of entertainment and leisure, Card Games and Rummy have marked their significance, offering a blend of excitement, skill enhancement, and social interaction. While these games provide an engaging experience, the essence of playing them responsibly cannot be emphasized enough. The fusion of thrill and skill these games offer can sometimes lead players down a path of excessiveness, overshadowing the joy and educational benefits they are meant to provide. 
A Balanced Approach to Gaming 
Card games have been a source of entertainment for centuries, evolving in structure and style but maintaining their core elements of skill and strategy. They offer cognitive stimulation, strategic thinking opportunities, and a platform for social bonding. However, as with any form of entertainment, a balanced approach ensures that the recreational value is upheld without crossing the boundaries of excessiveness. 
Rummy: Skill and Enjoyment  
Rummy, particularly, stands out for its complex combination of skill, memory, and decision-making. It is a game that not only entertains but also educates, enhancing mathematical and analytical skills. The strategic elements integral to rummy make it an exciting pursuit, but herein lies the need for players to understand the importance of moderation. 
The Journey to Responsible Gaming 
How do players ensure that their engagement with these games remains healthy and balanced? Education and awareness serve as the foundational pillars. Understanding the rules, strategies, and most importantly, the limits is essential. Every player should be equipped with the knowledge to identify when gaming is a leisurely activity and when it’s becoming an addiction. 
Implementing self-imposed boundaries on playing time and financial expenditure in the games ensures that the experience remains positive. Every player is encouraged to set realistic and strict limits on these aspects, creating a self-regulating environment that supports responsible gaming. 
The Role of Regulation 
The regulatory frameworks governing online gaming are tailored to instill a sense of responsibility amongst players and gaming platforms alike. These regulations are formulated to balance the intricate dynamics of entertainment, fair play, and player welfare. They encompass stringent measures to mitigate excessive gaming, ensuring that the ecosystem remains vibrant yet safe. 
Nurturing a Culture of Responsible Gaming 
Cultivating a culture of moderation and responsibility in playing Card Games and Rummy is an inclusive effort. It requires the collective consciousness of players, the regulatory bodies, and society at large. Each stakeholder is a guardian of the enriched and balanced gaming environment that strives to combine enjoyment with responsibility. 
As the attraction for card games and rummy continues to captivate players, the mantra of moderation becomes the anchor, ensuring that the scales are tipped towards a healthy, educational, and enjoyable gaming experience. The narrative of responsible gaming is not just about regulatory adherence but is deeply rooted in the individual player’s conscious efforts to embrace gaming as a means of leisure, learning, and social interaction, devoid of the shadows of excessiveness.
