Is there a way to send a message with a friend request on FB? I know you can send a DM through Messenger but I seldom look at Messenger so wouldn't even notice if I had received a separate message from a friend request.

I don't think there is anything else you need to do. Everyone has different expectations of FB. You accepted her request. You fine with occasionally seeing her posts. But you have no driving desire to get in touch or set up a time to meet up. If she really wants to see you, then I'd leave it in her court.

This, exactly.  I will add that whether or not she would be able to send a message through Messenger depends on your security preferences.


Years ago, when sending a friend request, you could include a message. The last one I got like that was from someone I wouldn't have known otherwise because of her name change when she married. She sent a message to tell me her birth surname and how we knew each other. With that information, I knew exactly who she was. I haven't had that option for several years now. I think they should bring it back.

We bought a dress for a dance at my daughter's school. Unfortunately, she was sick and couldn't go, so I returned it the following week. The first thing the clerk did before she started processing the return was sniff the dress (I assume for perfume or body odors). I did know someone who had done the same as the wife in the OP, so I understood, but this was the first time I had seen a clerk checking the item.


I agree with the husband. The wife needs to buy a dress she can afford and not try to defraud the store.

I am getting ready to do this since my mom will be having knee replacement surgery in a few weeks and my father can only make toast, tuna fish sandwiches, and canned ravioli.

{Big snip here}


I will be going over everyday to help with cleaning/laundry all of these things freeze well.


You will be such a blessing to your mom! I had knee replacement surgery last summer, and my daughter took the first week off from work to help me. After she went back to work, she stopped in every evening when she got home, and had my granddaughter check on me during the day (they live next door to me). There are no words to explain how grateful I was for all she did for me during such a difficult time.

When my dad passed away, there was a lot of ham at my mom's house when I got there two days later after a cross-country drive. Several people brought deli sliced ham, one person brought one of those really nice boneless hams, and of course there were other things as well. None of us had to cook unless we wanted to do it. All of your ideas above sound like wonderful offerings for grieving families. We froze some of the ham, served some as sandwiches to visiting family members, and cooked some into a wonderful scalloped potato dish which I still remember 23 years later. The neighbors and friends were all so kind.

I would take it to mean sparkly cocktail dresses and navy blue or black suits.

Weddings / Re: Dealing with the heirloom engagement ring
« on: July 16, 2021, 07:15:23 pm »
I received an heirloom engagement ring from my mom when I traveled home for my dad's funeral. She said he was going to bring it with him when they visited later that year. I love it and wore it for years, until a friend who is a jewelry appraiser saw it and asked to take a look at it. He loved it too, but said the band was so worn down that he was afraid one day it would just fall off my hand and be gone forever. He recommended having the band beefed up if I wanted to continue wearing it. Ultimately, I decided to just keep it tucked away.


I always thought an heirloom ring given as an engagement ring is from the groom's family, very similar to a welcome-to-the-family gift.

Since several people have brought it up, I too wonder if the SIL's in-laws have ever even asked that the other members of the party dress in a certain way, or if the SIL just thinks that's what they want.

I would nope right out of that! Tell MIL and SIL so they'll be forewarned, and go on the vacation that was planned, not the one that was crashed.

I don't think it's necessary to bring it up, simply continue what you're doing.


I agree with this.

You can also ask for a lab request form and go elsewhere for your blood draw.

The style of gowns I liked best on her was like this one but she was uncomfortable in it because it emphasized her chest too much and she thought that was not a good look for the MOG.

I love this one!

I like the first dress best, followed by #3. All four are pretty.

I think I've told this before, but we looked for a week for our kitchen shears. We looked in every drawer and cabinet, even the refrigerator. I finally gave up looking because I couldn't think of another place to look. About that time, I walked into the kitchen and they were right in the middle of the counter with nothing around them. I asked my mom where she found them, and she said she didn't. Nobody else had been in our house for days.

Earlier this month, BeagleDaddy and I made our final mortgage payment on our house.  We own it, free and clear, now.


Congratulations! It's really exciting to have that over, and just wait until you don't make a payment next month. Even better!
