Tough Talk,
I have worked hard all my life following orders. I am now striking out on my own and after years of careful planning am opening a business. My friends and family have heard about this over the years and I have finally planned a huge party. But everybody is blowing me off. I would understand if they were people not close to me, but these are all people I’ve helped out over the years during tough times. What do you think I should do TT? (Delta, Texas)
D-,
You tell these people that if they’re not there for your party, they better be dead, in jail or in the hospital. Otherwise, you are going to throw a hissy fit and become a whiney little girl. Don’t be ridiculous. If they don’t want to come to your party, who gives a damn?
