I would interpret a tip of the hat as thanks.

[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.

I'd get the thanks.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I think that is a fairly traditional thanks.
We went to a latke party last night which was delicious and lots of fun, but today all of our clothes, including our coats smell like they were deep fried.

Not that this is exactly the same thing, but the same sort of people don't seem to get things like I can't miss walking because I never have(Yes, I wish I could move around more easily--I don't mean to be defensively Empowered and say I wouldn't change a freaking*thing*, cause, c'mon, and it would be nice to escape the commentary for twenty minutes till I learned what catcalls really felt like, but the act of putting one foot in front of the other, along with standing on my own two feet, they really are just metaphors to me, unlike every crip you see on TV, ever. So I end up doing this a lot. "Never?"
"No."
"Not even when you were little."
"No...They could make me stand in a frame, and I did that, but I don't think it's what standing is really like.

A truly unpleasant person I've broken off contact with is trying to buy her back into my good graces with a Xmas card containing $100 in cash. As much as I need the money, I'm not keeping it. Because her husband is not a bad person,and the card was from both, I don't want to be rude enough to give the money back in cash. So they will get a return Xmas card, addressed only to the husband with a $100 gift card from trader joes. Hope that is firm enough and clear enough without being discourteous.

I'll just sign the xmas card. No thank you. No personal message.

Maybe just don't engage at all.
Her husband is a decent fellow, but that may not be reason enough to deal with his wife.

Why not just return the card?
