I think you can assume that you are a true lady while the snooty mamas you share breathing space with at the park, school etc are frauds who don't know any better, despite their high-fallutin' airs. I suggest a job lot of Miss Manners to be given as Christmas presents. And failing that, set the Rabbit and her rubber snake onto their ankles. Whoever said a lady isn't above acts of revenge?Kate B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11997733172043900832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16681940.post-1133529455264845252005-12-02T17:17:00.000+04:002005-12-02T17:17:00.000+04:00...or they could simply hit the "reply" button on ......or they could simply hit the "reply" button on the email MM had sent them, then inform her either yea or nay for their attendance. nothing could be easier, i say! she's given them two ways to respond, phone AND email, so these people are just rude or forgetful or radically self-absorbed or all of the above.<BR/><BR/>although...i've no suggestions for your next move. a follow-up email? if yes to that, then what tone should you strike while harrassing the slackers? hmmm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16681940.post-1133510515567161222005-12-02T12:01:00.000+04:002005-12-02T12:01:00.000+04:00I have thought this very thing.The very least peop...I have thought this very thing.<BR/>The very least people could do would be to call when they know you aren't home and just leave a message.

When a head count is essential--like when there are party favor bags to fill and games to organize, for example--I'll call people for their damn RSVP. And then will reply with a slightly cold and unconvincing, "That's o.k.," when they tell me how long they've MEANT to call me about the party, they're so sorry, blah blah blah. You are definitely NOT an etiquette hound. It's everyone else who's got the problem. But how to fix it is beyond me!Sugarmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04425625624997484305noreply@blogger.com
