Woman's #metoo moments lead to despair
Do you follow usual rules and amounts for gift-giving, or do different rules and amounts apply?
-- Awaiting Your Answer
Dear Awaiting: This is confusing, because the couple is already married. Consider this party to be their wedding reception, on a 10-year tape delay.
Given the lead time to this reception, it sounds as if they have been planning and saving for this shindig.
Having a bridal shower is a strange choice, but yes, if you attend the reception, you should plan to give them a gift. You can assume that they are registered somewhere.
Dear Amy: I'd like to join others who are appalled by your so-called "advice" to "Say no More?" the person who refused to house an illegal. Your political correctness really gets in the way.
-- Appalled
Dear Appalled: First of all, a human being is not "an illegal," as many readers pointed out. Also, being in the U.S. without proper documents is a civil offense, not a criminal one.
