Thankfully my sister does not live in the same city as me. I never, ever hear from her unless she "wants" something. I see her son regularly but without her involvement ... I love him. My sister did horrible, awful things to me and my parents. She had a chance to apologize to my mom before she died and my sister couldn't do it. I will never forgive her for that. Ever. I look out for my dad and nephew but my sister is no one to me. No gripe, just the truth! Mames, I've always felt like an "only".

LOL ... your so sweet Huk! I'm not complaining. I'm glad not to consider her my sister. I have wonderful friends, a son I adore, a partner ... my life is full and I don't need her in it. The only reason I brought her up is because she called me for Mother's Day twice! Ugh!

Vacanick, I did let go almost two years ago. No phone calls, no visits, nothing. Daughter started calling when her brother Kit got sick. I, of course, let her talk to him, then she started talking to me. Now I get the grad announcement and invitation, like it's a last minute slap in the face, and I'm steamed. That's why I had such a mean thought in the first place about lying to them. <sigh> They make me uncomfortable without batting an eyelash, so my devil on my shoulder told me to find a way to make them uncomfortable.

Costa, be glad your kids didn't get you any presents. It would probably be a dead mouse or something of that sort, and they would be so proud of it. Then you would break their little hearts as you went screaming from the room. lol!

I started it! But I in no way thought my brats would leave me a hairball. And now that I think of it, yeah, Costa did give me a prezzie yesterday -- he upchucked his b'fast, darn him! And Grooch, there is a reason these kids are inside-only. I had a cat once (indoor/outdoor -- she was my fiancee's) who would leave presents of gopher guts on the doorstep. Since I was the first to leave the house, you can just imagine the number of times I screamed at my ex (mostly just "dammit your STOOOOPID cat DID IT AGAIN!") as I delicately walked over the offering. I mean, I know they mean well, but eesh!

Urgrace, usually grad announcements to distant family, in my experience, have been for nothing more than a gift. If it were me, having a mean streak as I do, I'd say I was coming, but being strapped for cash, making the trip would be my gift to the grad, LOL!

Escapee, that's the same gift her fraternal grandmother gives her! But there was an invitation to the party, enclosed with the grad announcement, several days following graduation. She might want to cancel the whole thing if she thinks I'm coming. LOL

LOL ... then I'd tell her I was coming & then cancel at the very last moment. I'm sure she's done worst things to you! Sometimes it just feels good to be catty!

LOL ... I can get catty too Scoot. Sometimes my BF has to reel me in and remind me that I'm an adult and not in High School.

Catty is telling her I'm coming, arriving the day of the party, then calling her all day telling her where I am on the road and will be there shortly, when in fact I'm not anywhere near there but at home torturing her. (Lord forgive me.)

Grace, take a plain white sheet of paper, fold a $1 bill in it and mail. No note, no nothing. <steals crown from Scooter and runs>

Grace, that's a good one. You could even call and say you are turning onto her street. Oh, I like that. <keeps crown but gives Grace a tiara>

You could always write a little note and politely decline, saying you'd love to come, but just hate to miss the root canal you have scheduled for the same day, but you're including a gift you thought she could use. And then tuck this note inside her gift- a self help book, which could range from kind of funny (Relationships for Dummies) or something downright cruel (weightloss book). The last part would depend on level of evil involved.
