That's tough.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

Return the card with the cash? It was not mailed, thedy left it in cash on my screen door. I'm not sure mailing back cash is a good idea. (Obsiously by giving cash she is making it as awkward as possible to refuse.)

Compassionately intolerant
Under these circumstances, I don't know that I would not think it the cash in the same way I do when I find a quarter on the ground (that was not obviously belonging to anyone around). I'd say thanks to the found money imp and move on.
The only way keeping the money would oblige you to interact with one or the other of them would be if you chose to do so.
Don't get me wrong, I've had more than my share of righteous indignation. And lord knows, I've made more than a few statement gestures. But, in this case, why not give yourself the opportunity to receive something without putting negative energy on it?
They dropped the cash...quite actually...in a physical sense...and you found it. Bonus!

Our wings are not tired.
I'd say thanks to the found money imp and move on.
I'd go with that one too. The annoyance she has inflicted upon you is worth that much. Doesn't mean you have to acknowledge it.

Donate it, and leave the original card with the donation receipt in their door.
