Great we have a list. Seems a little small. Don’t we have any more living relatives? (Could you tell Geoff at Susie’s on the 20th as he does not have email). Being that I just moved, work fulltime and have building that is being rehabbed that I desperately need to get occupied, It would be a big help if you would handle the invitations and rsvp’s. It is your party after all.
For instance, you could copy and paste in an email something like:
Hi everyone,
I, also would love to get everyone together at bat312 & other’s Place, on Sunday, the 27th starting about 2PM. Let me know if you think you can make it.
Bat312 & other’s place:
Address:
Phone:
Directions and parking
Please keep me in the loop so I know how many to expect. Were you planning on serving food? I want to make sure I have enough plates for your party.
Love,
Bat312
Her reply;
Opps. No Tim. I am not planning the gathering ,or sending the invitations or getting the RSVPs. Its not my party–not my house. Between you and Patty, I’m sure you can do your own invites etc. Expand it, to who? I don’t know anybody up there other than family. Me, no, absolutely not.
:smack:
It all started so innocently. A death in the family, we all have that eventually.
I am trying to put together a trip to Chicago around the time of the Memorial for Aunt Blabla. I need some some ideas of what would might work out if any of you want to get together, then I can better focus on days and dates–such as a long weekend, or a couple of weeks, I don’t know. . . Am trying to get in touch with Mary and my friend Theresa too, and Susan says she and John will still be at Meghan’s also. I guess I have to decide pretty quickly to grab a great flight price.
**** and I would love to see you! Let me know what days you are looking at. We would also like to invite you to stay with us…we have lots of space and would love to show off our new home. We only have the top floor not the whole thing.
Love,
bat312
PS What the hell is going on with Tom? If what Char is saying is true maybe he needs to be where he has ended up and get the medical attention that he needs…hard tough love. It is very sad.
If your communications with batshit mom are as convoluted as your insanely disjointed, near incomprehensible OP I can understand why people might get testy with you.
