isn't festivus coming up? they should have an airing of grievances.Dear Amy: My mother recently died, and as her 70-year-old son, I gave my grandnephew's new wife about $1,500 worth of good jewelry that belonged to my mother. Five months have passed without a written thank you. She did thank me verbally when I gave the jewelry to her. I text-messaged her and said, "If you're still enjoying Mom's jewelry, I would like you to send me a thank-you note." She got very angry and involved her husband, who mixed in other issues with his anger at this. I feel I did nothing wrong and told them so, saying, "When someone gifts you with expensive jewelry, it is appropriate to write a thank-you note." Please tell me I wasn't wrong?-- Tom
