I agree. My home is MY home; I want my guests to be happy and enjoy my hospitality, but there's a line. I had a friend of a friend ask me not to smoke in my apartment, not because she has some kind of illness (which I am happy to make some concession for) but because she doesn't like it.
What the hell? I'd just met her, and here she was in my house, asking this? I thought it very rude, and I just said something like, I'll open another window. If I go over to someone's house, they can shoot up for all I care; their house, their rules. If I don't like it, I can make polite excuses and leave.
because non-Indian friends are fickle and won't stick by me ever
That's like the "old" saying that the friends you make on the Internet aren't as good as the ones you make in the 3-D world.
By the way, thanks again for that phone call while I was in the hospital, dude. I had as many phone calls from my uncaring Internet buddies as I did meat friends stop by my room.
t blink
Is there a bride in the plans?
Already answered, I see. {{P-C}} You can tell your folks that all of your blinvisible friends are Indian...
My dad never saw the BF's and my apartment in NYC, since it was a 4th floor walk-up and he couldn't make it up the stairs. Never, EVER would he or my mom have aid anything about it. It's just plain bad manners.

You're welcome, dude. It was my pleasure.

I'm not sure they know that my best Indian friend has been dating a white girl for two or three years (and his parents are totally cool with it).

That seems like it would be a good thing for them to know. Though not for you to tell them, unfortunately.
There seems to be a class of relative, Nora, that just has to find something to find fault with. It's like they feel diminished if relatives, particularly younger ones, make good decisions. It's your house. You didn't buy it for them. If they're visiting from out of town and can't face the idea of the stairs, they're welcome to check into a nice hotel with elevators.

I envy those who can camp well.
I camp well (pretty much a requirement in the SCA if you are going to do wars) but I need a shower every day. Our camp at Pennsic has one of those propane RV water heaters.
Speaking of which, I'll be at Smithville Lake, MO (just north of KC) from this Saturday until the 19th at the War of the Lillies. [link]

I know a guy like that, only he phrases it as "You got ripped off..." Friend of the family, and very nice as long as we don't talk about money. So I try not to.

The SCA is showing its age, though. Tents used to be Spartan things, now they're multi-room with real furniture. Aging backs like having support.
