JoB…that’s funny…the person who cleans for me is getting married on Mar.01….I finally said last week that I still had her invitation, that I hadn’t responded, but hopefully she knew that I was attending. She just said, of course, what do you want to eat? lol…I guess that’s an RSVP the backwards way…hehe

isn’t it ironic. we have so many more ways of communicating these days and sometimes we communicate less.

I think that is because we are fundamentally less polite to one another than we once were.

I miss the friendliness… i think everyone does. But i don’t miss the censure that went with any breach of what was considered manners.

we need to find balance.

As we have noted on the Seattle freeze board, it is difficult for new people to connect in our society… it isn’t just Seattle.

And there is nothing worse for a child.. or an adult for that manner… to throw a party that no one attends.

My heart is with the child.

i can only tell a parent that children need to become active in extracurricular activities. This is where they make friends.

And.. we need to be careful about what kind of expectations we set ourselves up for… that the day of big b-day parties may be ending. Better to have a really great time with two or three friends or family.

and… as adults… if you don’t know them well enough to call them and find out if they are coming, you probably shouldn’t care that much if they show up or not.

that said, i really am a schmuck for not sending back my own grand-daughter’s reply card so she could put it in her wedding book.. because i do know that even though I don’t put much stock in that kind of ceremony, she does.

I will do it today. thanks cinnamon for making me think of it.

Some couples spend over a year (I’m not one of them) planning a wedding, and I find it appalling (that’s the only word I could come up with) that the invitees can’t take one and a half minutes to check a box, put a slip of paper into a self-addressed envelope, lick it, and drop it in the mail pick-up.
