Mazel tov to GC and DF!!
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ok. Manners question for the hivemind.
I'm writing a thank you note to CBD's parents for dinner the other night. How do I address the envelope?
Dr. John Doe and Ms. Jane Smith? Or do I need to use a more proper salutation for his mother, since she's a judge? I have NO idea about all this.

The happiest of wedding days and marriage years to GC and DF. "Now join hands, and with your hands your hearts."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Nuptial Day, GC and DF!

They have different last names then, vw? I don't know how formal you'd need to go, maybe ask CBD what she prefers?
Re: my previous post with the note for the hiring people for Tom: is ot OK to tell them that he has been laid off? Is this a bad? Or just reality?

Dr. John Doe and Ms. Jane Smith?
Dr. John Doe
The Honorable Jane Smith
That's the etiquette rule, anyway.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The Honorable Jane Smith
That seems like a WAY too formal way to address a letter (well, even the envelope) to your boyfriend's parents. Unless they're exceedingly formal people, but your description didn't make them sound that way.
t edit But if etiquette is important to them, maybe you should....I don't know. It seems too stuffy to me. But maybe my white trash roots are showing.
I'd ask CDB what's appropriate.

Yeah, they have different last names. The note is much easier, because I can just call them what they introduced me to them as.

Happy Wedding, GC!
As bad as the situation is, if I hear the sound clip of Dubya saying that Russia should not be seeking "regime change" in Georgia, my eyes will roll out of my head
Seriously. Are they living in a fucking parallel universe?
McCain: "In the 21st Century, nations don't invade other nations.
Rice: This is not 1968," said US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice emphatically at a Washington news conference, "where Russia can...occupy a capital, overthrow a government and get away with it.
Even for this bunch, this is a staggering level of delusion and obliviousness. What the hell are they on?

Nora, I think being laid off is so common these days that it no longer has much, if any, negative connotation. You could say something like "Economic conditions caused my company to cut staff based on seniority, but my supervisor there will attest to my (competence, work ethic, knowledge of programming, whatever)."
