oh and because this is one of those days, i just got a missive from xsteen about the infamous bridal shower that her “bridesmaids” are having for her [the one where the locals extorted cash from the farflung bridesmaids in highhanded emails, to be held in July.] so they are having it a restaurant. my fear is that they are going to make the attendees pay to eat which would be totally outrageous. hopefully not, but i just don’t know, nor does xsteen at this point. but the shower is hostage to the two 20-something bridesmaids who are the masterminds of this. i will be humiliated if the food is not covered.
That would be outrageous, but not surprising. Is there some way to do a covert operation to find out if the meal is/is not covered without involving the hostage takers?
