deliberame came em tyhanded ate dinner and helped herself tonumerous glassesc unch We were all shock My sister was hurt and puzzled The question is Should we say something to her Also should we in vite her to the wedding Anxious To Know Dear Anxious Well Never have heard of anything so despicable in my entire life Imagine coming to shower without gift How low can you get That woman should never be invited to anything again so long as she lives In fact now that the Supreme Court has reinstated the death penalty in some states maybe you can have her eiectrocuted Ive received hundreds of letters from women who say they have been invited to as many as four or five showers for the same bride They view the whole shower scene as gigantic ripoff and must say your letter lends great deal of validity to their complaints Sorry girls you rattled the wrong cage Dear Ann Landers My husband and go with this certain couple lll call them the Bs The fellow is Obnoxious After hes had few drinks he
