We knew they were all cheapskates, but look how they congratulate themselves for it! GAH! It’s not BB that I need so much at times like this, it’s a Valium! Grrrrr!
I’m surprised Burl just didn’t give him the afternoon off; that would be even cheaper. And someone else you actually pay for it.Joy’s right, a place setting s more than $100, but Burl’s wrong as usual, that stuff appreciates like mad.
So poor. I remember many meals of sliced cucumber with watered down vinegar on the side.
We ate off of this dinnerware, but don’t get me wrong; we had no clothing to wash.
Dad mixed the detergent with used Velveeta he got at the mouse trap testing facility that was next door to our shed. He used it for fish bait. We kids would beg for just a taste but Dad always had the dream of the big catch. Never happened.
Looks like they are planning their own menu. Fillet not beef. Maybe they’ll be served fish instead, so classy for them.They probably won’t know the difference anyway.
I grew up with my parents using those heavy pottery pieces that I had to do a search to remember (because I just awoke). My parents had Fiesta ware and I inherited those from them as my “everyday” dishes (and with 4 young kids you can believe they were chipped). I liked that flame red the best (but mom had been more partial to yellow and green so there were more of those). By the time I was (just not quite ready to file for divorce) I once retaliated to his beatings by tossing a lot of those dishes on the kitchen floor (so that I would need NEW). I still have most of the dishes in my “good” set but I use some that I had bought for outdoor parties (pressed glass in clear and red) for my daily ones now and have some Villeroy and Boch Intarsia as my best.
The charger plate was still being used last time we ate there at Cite (revolving restaurant) with a great sunset view of Lake Michigan from the building top when we had the caviar appetizer. I served mine more simply at home. And this photo of an eggwhite omelet with V8 and spinach shows my everyday dishes that I use as others use Chinet.
Where they got the $100 gift limit is beyond me. I didn’t know that there was one. You gave whatever you picked out off of the bride’s registered gift list, which I think is a crass idea. Giving a gift should be one that came from the heart, not about your pocketbook. I need some brain bleach….
Wait til they get to the “reception” and find out it is cookies and punch in the Church basement. And Susan made the cookies (so at last they are good ones) not the ones from the Dollar Dump like the last time.
My daughter got a silver (chrome) anniversary clock as a wedding gift, kind of a reckless re-gifting if you ask me. I wonder if Burl and Joy were on the guest list?
I think it was thoughtful to get (2) $50 bonds in lieu of (1) $100 as it nicely accommodates the demise of the marriage, although anyone that divorces an assistant in line to take over as manager of a u-stor-it would be crazy if you ask me.
WOW…. 33 comments so far……. ! ! !.Unless you are close family, think it best to write a nice check for a wedding gift..One time when a workplace friend got married, a person dressed as Chicago Police officer stood outside the reception and collected all the envelopes..That’s right it was a thief. I was able to replace her check but all her cash was lost… ! ! !

Leaky…. that’s what I was thinking….Burl was actually thinking to himself “The REAL beauty of it is…a $100 gift only cost us fifty bucks.”
100% lard…. suits Burl to a tee.
Good morning, all….So…. who was invited to the wedding?Not me!

So sad, thery hired her to cater the reception and didn’t even invite her to the ceremony.

That’s not a find it. It’s the usual reminder that says fire 911. Actually these dimbulbs call 911 for all kinds of non emergency stuff.
