Tough Talk,
I know this woman who is a friend of a friend and although I’ve tried to be nice to her, she has always been cold and indifferent to me. I understand if I’m not her cup of tea and have tried to be positive and outgoing when we’re at dinners and picnics for our church. However, she just had her first grandchild and sent me a postcard asking for a dinner present for herself as she helps with the baby. She wants people to buy meals from local restaurants for delivery to her. And some of the meals are really expensive. I first planned on ignoring it, but do you think I should send her a meal TT?

Lamont,
You are a fool and a dope if you pay for her dinner. You would also be a schmuck and gutless toad if you let this slide. I’d write back a simple note, “I don’t know why you would send this to card me as I find you arrogant, condescending and a pompous ass. But enjoy these coupons. Toodles.” Make sure the coupons are expired and for crappy items and restaurants.
