Almost June
| Tue, 05-27-2014 - 1:31pm |
The year is just flying by, can't believe it is almost June already.
1. Do you have many celebrations in the month of June?
2. What one alcoholic drink (if you can pick just one) do you enjoy in the summer?
3. At a BBQ, which one would you rather have, a hot dog or hamburger?

Wine and flowers are examples of a host gift, yes. Taking food to an event when you have been told not to bring anything can be considered rude by many people, but I'm sure you remember that from many discussions on the subject.
When did I say I brought food when told not to?
It costs the same for me no matter how many parties. Because if I'm giving the kid a gift; I"m giving the kid a gift. Having a party or not, attending said party or not, has no bearing on whether or not I give gifts to the graduates. This year, I gave gifts to four (local) graduates. Only two of them had a party - only one that I attended.

So the bottle of wine or flowers that you mentioned earlier would be for the guest to share? not for the hostess?

....and yet, you can't grasp the concept of replinishing food at an event.
Again, read my posts when I CLEARLY said I DO replenish food. I did say it in at least 2 posts.
That might not be feasible for many. If family has come in from out of town, or out of the state - or even out of the country - for the graduation ceremony, they might not be able to come back for a graduation party that's later on. And, ime, kids scatter in the summer. I have a hard time rounding up kids for summer birthday parties, much less a graduation party. I suppose it happens, but I haven't seen it.
We all have different experiences. I have seen it and experienced it before so it does happen. I am sure it happens all over too, not just in my "region".

The flowers I brought for the annivesary couple as they requested no gifts and they were very close neighbors. Yes, the wine I have brought is usually put out for the guests.
Ooh, your incessant jealousy of professional, highly educated women rears its ugly head again, Molly. It's not a good reflection on you.
But we've long since established you have the unhealthy habit of refusing to see any meal without an animal protein of some kind to be beneath your dignity. Hence what constitutes a meal for you isn't relevant, because you dismiss any protein that had no face. For educated people who understand the nature of proteins as a whole, as long as the sides include proteins of *some* kind, they can be considered a meal.
I have no idea why we should be taking your opinion as valid when you just expressed shock at the idea of a host/hostess paying for their own dinner party.
