Who was your ss?

I didn't mean to stir stuff up about Dot.  I don't mind her at all. 

I just honestly think it's funny when people GBCK and then come back.  I'd find something like that funny in real life too.  Perhaps funny isn't the right word... but I can't relaly think of a better one.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I don't think it's funny at all when people GBCK and then come back.  It's completely AWish, immature and lame.

And to be honest I don't really get why people GBCK in the first place.  Like oh, everyone, look at me, I'm not going to post anymore!  It just invites posters to tell that person that they either hate them and are glad they are leaving, or invites everyone to suck their diick about staying here.  If you don't want to post anymore then just don't.

I agree, I am in the customer service business in a prodominatley Jewish neighborhood. But, I'm still not sure who celebrates what. So, I just tend to say things to the people I interact with on a daily. I did tell the young lady who waited on me last night Happy Holidays. But, I still cringe waiting for the reaction.

And I was frustrated like that the other day too. After 4 stores and so many people not just having common courtesy, I lost it in the last store.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: TAKA/AYG/TKC : You know what I really hate about it?  I hate that if I wish someone a Merry Christmas, I automatically wonder for about .5 seconds in my mind if the person I wished Merry Christmas to will automatically think I'm an overzealous KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS person.  And if I wish them Happy Holidays, I worry that the person might think I'm working overly hard to be politically correct. And that's just fucking stupid.  It's like we can't be genuinely nice to anyone anymore without people automatically making completely stupid assumptions.
Posted by AllAboutTheBenjamin[/QUOTE]

This exactly. We have three Jewish friends, and the rest celebrate Christmas. When I ordered Chrsitmas cards, I started to feel bad getting one that say "Merry Christmas" because I worried that it might offend 3 people out of 125+.

Then I said eff it and sent them anyway. Oh well.

Frick.  We had a head table.  I also gave my bridesmaids matching gifts and jewelry AND we had a dollar dance.  And garter auction.  Also, there was registry info on our invitations, and I had a freaking personal attendant.

I'm pretty sure there's some etiquette circle of Hell I belong in, but I already live in North Dakota so that's probably punishment enough for doing such things.  Everyone up here does that shiit so we are all in good (bad?) company anyway.

Let's See:
- My bridesmaids had matching dresses and shoes. The dresses were knee length so we could see the shoes- it just looks better! I know it's not the thing now but seriously, I did my best to please everyone. I am just not a fan of mismatchy bridesmaids. To each her own.

- I gave my bridesmaids jewelry and clutches. They were all high quality and really nice. I don't care if its bad E. It looked GOOD and they've all used it again!

- We only had an open bar for cocktail hour and wine service during dinner. It was cash during dancing. We frankly could not afford more. The prices would have forced us to either seriously cut some guests, not have a HM, or take out a loan. I wasn't doing any of that for alcohol. Oh well?

Ditto the bolded.. and we're not having an open bar <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-embarassed.gif" border="0" alt="Embarassed" title="Embarassed" /> just open beer and soda.

I really think it just depends on the circles you run in and where you'er from.  I have never been to a wedding with a full open bar, and I've been to a lot in my life.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: TAKA/AYG/TKC : In that vein, I really enjoy Blue's postings usually, but I completely disagreed with her "You all should have just said you didn't want her to come back when she first did" comment just because people said they thought she might blow up again. I didn't say anything because I didn't see the thread until almost a day later, but I think that was a reach.   I also disagreed with cew's saying the reaction was because Dot's not as popular as others. I bet if anyone made a comment about men like Dot's, several people would call them out. Steph was one of the ones calling Dot out, and she's an equal opportunity call-out.

I only said something because thats what it seemed to me.  I dont usually say anything if people are going off on each other for a good reason, but it seemed super "bully" like to me, for lack of a better word.  If i made it seem like everyone didnt want her to come back then I apologize. 

Plus, the people just coming in to say "i think your an idiot too" annoyed me.  There are some posters here who do that a lot.  They never have an issue with someone until someone else does first.
