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?
Personally, I don't think I'd tell them about the layoff, but keep in the "reorganization" bit. Spelling out the layoff might sound like he's pressuring them for an answer rather than trying to get them to move on considering. Does that make sense? My coffee is broken this morning.
vw, since you were invited to a family meal, not a wedding, I say relax the rules and address the envelope to Jane Smith & John Doe.
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?
No, no, no. You're missing the unspoken "...that's America's job. We're just sayin'."

That's what CBD just said. So, that's what I'm doing.
Also, he thinks I'm crazy to be writing a thank you note for dinner.

Happy Wedding Day, GC and STBDW!!

Uh, when I read your post, I was seized with guilt for not writing a thank-you note for the first time The Boy's parents had us over for dinner.
Congrats, GC and fiancee!

Heh. He would probably like that. They can know what's going on in his life without him having to talk!

No! No guilt! Although, if we had gone to their place for dinner, I probably would have whipped up some quilted coasters or something as a hostess gift.
Here's one for the annals of ignorance: I overheard incompetent!boss this morning telling another co-worker that he was surprised to find out that one of our vendors was Asian, because "She speaks English as good as any of us!"
Co-worker: "Uh, is that because she isn't an immigrant but is an actual American-born citizen of Asian descent?"
Incompetent!boss: "Well, I don't know, but I remember when you could tell by looking at someone -- if they were obviously foreign -- that they wouldn't speak good English. Now you can never tell."
Hand to god, that's what he said.
I don't need Craigslist ads, PLEASE; I just wanted to share my @@, so that all may marvel in its sheer beauty.

Man, I *suck* in the role of "Son's Girlfriend."
