Tough Talk,
I just had a milestone anniversary of my rise to my current position. My children and grandchildren threw the most delightful party I have had in ages. Unfortunately, I forgot a couple people from the invite list and they missed it. I feel bad and I know they are upset. I can just feel it TT. What should I do? (Honniger, California)
Honnigel,
The first question I have is whether you did it on purpose or not. If you did, then you should stop being a coward, be up front and tell them to their face that they weren’t invited because they pissed you off some way or another. Now if you did make a mistake, don’t be a dope and schmuck and apologize and take them out to dinner, but nothing fancy. Maybe some wonder bread, baloney and mayo sandwiches or ritz crackers and peanut butter – don’t break a twenty, and that’s being generous.
