Well I don't have a gift for my sister's wedding

By By The Grace of God (Wed Sep 07, 2005 at 10:49:38 AM EST) (all tags)

She wants money, so I'll have to give her some - $200. Plus I have to get a new outfit - Grandma doesn't want me to wear the same one I wore to her engagement party.

I took the leftover antibiotics, but the tooth hole is swelling again.

Plus I have to pay rent out of the next check, plus travel to DC before hand for the book.

Trying to adapt brochure text to the web - nobody even has a grunt of sympathy for me, or any assistance. It's rather difficult working in this environment.

Hard, isn't it.

Miss Manners considers it gauche in the extreme to ask for money "in lieu of gifts". Maybe you could get your sister a copy of Miss Manners on Painfully Proper Weddings.

Just give her a bright shiny nickel. Or is there some kind of clause in the wedding invitation that sets the price of admittance at $200?
If so, it's pure genius. With all our guests, we could have bought a couple of cars at that rate.

Tell Grandma to buy you a new outfit then by georgeha (4.00 / 2) #4 Wed Sep 07, 2005 at 11:30:18 AM EST

unless you want to hit all the consignment shops and Goodwills, as Mrs. Ha does.

As far as sister, can you just make a donation to charity in her name, perhaps to the BTGOG Fund?

I could, but then I'd have to put up with her shit, as regards my sister. I will indeed, probably, be going to Goodwill for the dress.

It will be awful to be around my family with no time to say a word to me. I'll be as invisible as possible. Hopefully can find a spot with some nice wireless and hide unless an actual function is on.

Why do you have to put up with her shit?

How about a massive vibrator? Her husband could use it too.

Tooth hole problems... by atreides (4.00 / 1) #10 Wed Sep 07, 2005 at 01:13:27 PM EST

1. Get a big water bottle with a straw, fill it with ice water and suck the water over the tooth. It'll numb the pain, clean your teeth if you do it for a while and make you pee a lot. But it's better than the pain.

2. Do NOT use Orajel or any over the counter pain thing for more than a few days, a week at most. The more you use it, the less it will help and eventually using it will cause more pain than the thing itself.

3. To hell with giving her money. Get your teeth fixed and if she doesn't like it, to hell with her. You may never see her again. You'll live with your teeth forever.

4. If I've said this stuff before, sorry for repeating myself, but I've been where you are now (dentally). I empathize with you greatly. Don't let it go on too long. There's always a way to get it taken care of. You've got dental insurance so don't let anything but basic survival stop you. If nothing else, you can find a pain study or something that will take care of the problem. Just don't live in pain if you don't have to.

That is all.

I don't know what shitty-ass meth you've been smoking.
