ita, I am very sorry about your friend and colleague.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We registered at Amazon because we were asked to. Since we eloped, presents were not called for and we didn't expect any but folks are nice. We tried to pick lots of things in the $20-$50 range, so no one would have to break the bank. Some lovely friends and family have been giving us stuff, which is lovely!

What is even happening?
Registering is not the etiquette issue. Including information about the registry (even just in the envelope) is the faux pas. Etiquette standards generally require that information is only supposed to be supplied if and when a guest inquires (that said, I never mind when I get the info in an envelope, because it can be useful).
I've skimmed & skipped, so excuse me if I'm repeato gal.

I'm always so relieved when someone has registered, but I agree that that particular invite just sounds tacky.
Morning! I love Saturdays. Ima lounge in bed as long as I can.

After standing in line at the post office for an hour (Love my little post office. Already know all the workers. But, there's only two stations. So sometimes you REALLY wait), the letter is on the way to the landlords. They should get it on Tuesday. Lucky ducks!
The locks in current building are being changed. Guess my instincts about the girl downstairs were right on. She moved out yesterday.

I'm so sorry about Marni, ita. She sounds like she was an amazing person.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
I am in my forties and never heard of registering until my twenties. It still squicks me though I know it is very much the custom. That is a prejudice, not something I rationally defend.
