On a scale of 1-10 how rude is it to straight up not respond to a wedding invitation and pretend it got lost in the mail? Already had a discussion with some people and I'm doing it. Just curious how much of an ******* I'll come out from this not that I care because holding grudges is fun.

10...you have to rely on headcounts and pay per person, so it's extremely frustrating when people don't respond. The reply card is already stamped, how hard is it to right no and send it back? They've literally done all the work for you.

And for the record, I'm in the same boat with the wedding invite thing :laugh: Except mine was for a wedding in Mexico.

Well it's even worse to not reply then show up - that puts them in a pickle for seating and food but at least they're just not going. Still, just say you're not attending and send the invite back. They won't care and odds are will be glad that's one less plate of food they have to pay for.

I'll defend this to my grave. They're pulling witchcraft up there in Northern VT.

I'm up in n.VT probably 4 to 7 times per year, which beer(s) are you referring to?

I'd say it's an 8 or an 8.5.

Holy balls my allergies are going bat**** this morning.

It has been over a week for me...This is this worse year I ever remember. I constantly feel like a have a cold. My head is so stuffed up if I bend over I get dizzy. I have medicine and it doesn't seem to be helping that much.

Was that to upset my stomach? It worked.


It all started as a harmless afternoon of margaritas outside to enjoy the day...3 hours and a bottle of tequila later I kept my streak of bad decisions alive for the month of May.

Yeah same. it's been pretty miserable this past week, but my nose was pretty runny this morning and I can't stop sneezing. I've been taking Zyrtec but I've been trying not to take it so much so I don't have to be so dependent on it.

Sometime late last night a video of me doing the "Saltine Challenge" was made. That's what kind of night it was.

I'm taking Zyrtec also and its not really helping. What is helping is the saline nasal spray...It helps for about 30 minutes only though.

They said because of Hurricane Sandy that allergies will be out of control this year. It kicked up a lot of stuff and then add mold spores to it and it's bad for everyone.

Zyrtec caused all kinds of problems for me. It dried my eyes out too much and wreaked havoc on my contacts. It's been better for me to not take anything and deal with the nasal issues. A netipot every couple days seems to be helping a lot too.

I might try some other meds or something though.
