Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Happy birthday, Fred!

Now, off to see Miracle Majid.

Families can be so annoying. I just got a call from my parents asking if I had gotten a graduation check from my grandmother (I'm pretty sure I did) and if I had written her a thank-you note (I imagine I did, but have literally no memory of it). Argh! Now I feel bad but I don't even know if I really should!

Happy Birthday, Fred Pete!!!

Just send her a nice "thanks for everything" note. That way you're covered, and if by chance you already thanked her, then you get super-extra thoughtful granddaughter points!

It's the passive-aggressive, that irks, really. My other grandmother would have called me up directly weeks ago to bitch me out for not sending a thank-you note. If I, in fact, did not.

What is even happening?

You could call her and say, "Did you get my note?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy birthday, Fred Pete!
