Does anyone find this birthday list invitation offensive?

(Where did you get Little T-Bone's birthday invitation letter? )

Yeah. It's perfectly normal to have a birthday wishlst.

My kiddo had one on Amazon.

But the person that wrote this one.......he/ she has no tact.

[Ontarkie 14,383]

I've seen that all over facebook.

I can tell you right now I wouldn't be getting that kid a gift. Selfish parents!

My invitation for The Little Egg Roll's thing started like this.......

"Come celebrate with us! Little XXXX XXXX's first 100 days of her long journey through life"

[Ontarkie 14,383]

That is how it should be.

[SAT 9,609]

And, of course, there were no requests for gifts.

But the kiddo's wishlist request was worded something like.....

"Well wishers may kindly refer to XXX's birthday wish list on the forwarded link to Amazon."

That is how it should be.

If Tornado and Luke Duke make a list, I'm in lol

[Ontarkie 14,383]

Making a list is one thing, telling ppl to only buy from that list is another.

Tornado wants it all

Although requesting for monetary gift is very tacky, but at least it saves the troubles of shopping/buying gifts that people might not like.

I do!

It's time to play....

What Would You Do?

A person can be seen on FB traveling to Thailand, eating out all the time. Going on trips, partying, etc.....

Now that person says that their business is in trouble, and wants to borrow 30K from you.

What would you do?

(Sound familiar, like Tiff's sis crying poor and need money to renovate her free condo?)

I do!

Ah phooey! you find everything offensive......

like some FBI guy insulting Poland and it's people

No lending him/her money unless you are willing to say bye bye to the money and break off the 'friendship'

Could give him/her a list of banks to turn to for loan.

And now, a little show and tell......

See this here stapler? It's made in USA. Long Island City NY. It's solid, heavy, built like a tank. I've had it since I don't remember when. It was with me through college is all I can remember.

My daughter loves this thing. She takes it wherever she goes. So, I buy her her own stapler. The black one in the background.....

She totally ignores that one and has claimed my stapler the sovereign property of Her Royal Highness......

It's not even that. If I can see that they border on frugality, living a meager means. Then I can see that this may be truly needed funds.

But when they can be seen tanning in Thailand, and going on a charter cruise......

[SAT 9,609]

Look at that. How beautiful is that?

You can use it to clock someone over the head with it

[SAT 9,609]

ok.....some people can't take no for an answer.

When her business loses money, she expects me to bail her out.

So, when her business makes money, is she going to share the profits with me?
