It sounds like Miss Manners needs to address the etiquette of the disputed end-of-friendship. I wonder if divorce procedures apply here.
I know, right?

Also, {{DJ}} and {{ND}} for awkward and painful end-of-relationships. BTDT, on both sides, and it's never easy.
This is my natural color, as I’m too lazy and broke to color it right now. I like it. It works.
Ha! And here I was going to say how much I liked the new color! Psyched me right out.

I'm currently agonizing over this from the other side. My friend B. cut me loose a few months ago and I'd like to send her a birthday card...
eh. send the card. It will cost you $2 and give you peace of mind.

yeah, I think so. I think "agonizing" was a bit strong to descibe my uncertainty, but I'ma blame it on it being Monday.

Good luck with your friend too Nora. My thing is, this girl screwed me over without so much as a "Hey, I'm sorry about this, but..." So it's not the kind of thing where you send a card saying, "I miss you!" and my icy heart melts. Break my trust, break the friendship.
I had a bit more to say about that than I thought.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes. I got jewelry, perfume, tea, a journal, my Powerbook, and a Saints win. Also got very drunk and played basketball in high heeled boots with my lawyer.

Oh, I'm with you. I will cut people off. But, there are some people who I have cut off who I would not be unhappy to hear from. It won't be the same, but we don't have to never see each other. Unless, of course, your "gesture" involves a craft party for which you want me to pay for the materials. What is with that? When did it become okay to ask people to pay to come to your event?
umm, sorry. personal issue.

I have a couple of people like that, but I don't consider that really cutting them off, just not really making an effort to keep up with them. Those I wouldn't mind hearing from.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DJ!!
I've had to cut people out of my life. And there are others that I would like to cut out of my life, but for other reasons, can't. I just limit my contact with them as much as possible. It just gets to a point where if the contributions to my life are more negative than positive, there's no reason to keep that negativity in my life. Sucks.
