mah1980, I have learned that when you give enough rope, people generally hang themselves. It should be clear by now, don't you think?

LOL

You're right STW. I think Ziana is hanging right now!

Where I'm from, most people give cash gifts.

However, whether the gift is cash or not, it should be received in the spirit that was given - a gift expressing well wishes and congratulations.

Everyone at some point or another receives a gift that is not really to their taste. But to bitterly denounce it as "junk" and "crap" seems to indicate a lack of appreciation towards the well meanging intentions of the gift giver.

seetheworld,
You MUST have learned something else.

Yes, you are correct seetheworld.

I've seen that very thing happen. It is almost inevitable after a period of time.

So if that is true- seetheworld, GoTravel and mah1980, do you think that calling her names and doing your own "classy" act doesn't follow exactly the same path.

I do apologize, but I just can't understand how the pot could call the kettle black.

JJ5: And what name did I call her? It's just an observation and a correct one at that.

No one is calling anyone names. Like STW said, they were just observations.

If one is willing to be so out there with comments about the trash people give, then one must be prepared for the response.

In this thread all seetheworld said was:

Sounds to me like someone likes to out-do the bride, lol.

Seems like I have made too large of an assumption...
There seems 3 kind of people - third kind who keep aside and watching, then comes out and sh***t all over, hi seetheworld.

See what I mean.

Ziana, you have infested two threads with your opinions and have sh**ed all over everyone's else comments.

Talk about name calling.

I am totally refuse to continue this because I am affraid seetheworld might have a heartattack IF I happened to choose to continue. Good day or whatever there is where you are.

not done yet...If i infested two threads with my opinions - at least I worked hard but you???
3 short mindless sentenses but look at hurt feelings!!! like you helped the world here!!!!! Bye now

Later alligator!

You would make an interesting thesis, Ziana. But fortunately, I have already defended mine. I help the world in ways you couldn't begin to imagine.

Don't let the door....

na na na na

na na na na

hey hey

goodbye

I bet I can't imagine
HA HA HA HA HA

wow guys

different strokes I guess

Where I come from cash is considered tacky, but not nearly as tacky as a bride or groom "expecting" ANYTHING.

"Cover your plate" - with what (???)

What i have learned from this thread is that not enough people use their silver or crystal.

Break it out- live a little. Why bother having the stuff if you don't use it- the only meal we did not use silver for was breakfast- something about eggs causing tarnish.

BTW- silver goes in the dishwasher just fine except for the hollow handled knives (even those seem to do fine but I have been told not to so many times it stuck)

green - I agree. I use my wedding silver and china for my husband and kids whenever I feel like it. And I remember the people who gave it to us and their good wishes.

I have used my Lenox China and Wallace sterling silver daily (including breakfast) for decades. Everything has always been put in the diswasher. All items are just as beautiful as the day I got them. If there is a bit of tarnish on the sterling (from eggs perhaps) I use Oneida Silver Polish to wipe over them, rinse and then put in the dishwasher. That takes just a moment.

Most people "save" their china and sterling for "special occassions". What is more special than having a meal with your immediate family? Even now that I am on my own I always use my china and sterling. Nothing will happen to it, honest.
