If the sisters and cousins wanted to include "Wendy" ... they could each chip in a little $$ and invite her. This is just cruelLaissez les bon temps rouler!

The easiest way to handle this would be to do what I do. Invite her along and say ''so-and-so, and I are going to _________ this weekend. We're all pitching in X amount of dollars towards hotel and gas money, and you'll need your own spending money. Are you interested in coming along?"
That way the person knows what to expect, and has the chance to be asked....and can turn it down if necessary.

I agree and once she goes once, then she (and the others) can decide if she thinks she fits in. I think the issue is not not going but never having been considered to begin with.

My family NEVER invites me to anything. But my friends will not only invite me but if money is an issue they would be willing to kick in extra $$ on my behalf so I could go if I needed it. And I have done the same for them. That is the difference between wanting you there and not wanting you there.

Break down what she says :
"we are all married stay at home moms - she is a divorced, working, single parent, with a young child"... she doesn't have very much money for an outing...
"....we are all very active church goers, while she only attends sporaticly ..."
This is the one that chaps my hide...
... came over to my house unannounced, crying about it which upset my children AND CAUSED MY HUSBAND TO THREATEN TO CALL THE POLICE ...
And you wonder WHY she "barely speaks" to you anymore ???Laissez les bon temps rouler!

I work in a kitchen I a Health Food Store. We have a cafe' and a menu. I don't mind tweaking a menu item for a customer... but that doesn't mean that you can just make up your own dish a la carte. We have menu item - Greek Pita Pocket- grilled pita stuffed with fresh spinach, onions, tomato, olives, cucumber, feta cheese tossed wit olive oil. Lady threw a fit wanted pita with lettuce, onion, avocado, ham, roast beef and mustard. THAT is not a menu item. As petty as it sounds, it messed up my whole kitchen mojo.

:
Todays' weird request ... a vegan muffulotta.
Now this is a New Orleans speciality and to have a GOOD muffalotta you have t have a marinated olive salad mix. Which WE do not.
To give you the idea, I will share a proper recipe for a good muffalotta
Real N'awlins Muffuletta
"These gigantic sandwiches were invented a century ago at Sicilian Deli here in New Orleans. The spicy, tangy olive salad is what really sets this meat and cheese sandwich apart. A genuine muffuletta should be made on oven-fresh Italian bread topped with sesame seeds. Be sure and use the highest-quality ingredients available; it really makes a difference! Since you're going to all the trouble of making the olive salad, consider doubling the recipe so you'll have some extra waiting around for when you get another muffuletta craving -- it keeps for at least a month! Note: Use round bread loaves for real muffuletta."
1 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, crushed
1/2 cup drained kalamata olives, crushed
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup roughly chopped pickled cauliflower florets
2 tablespoons drained capers
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 tablespoon chopped carrot
1/2 cup pepperoncini, drained
1/4 cup marinated cocktail onions
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup canola oil
2 (1 pound) loaves Italian bread
8 ounces thinly sliced Genoa salami
8 ounces thinly sliced cooked ham
8 ounces sliced mortadella
8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
8 ounces sliced provolone cheese
Directions:
1. To Make Olive Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the green olives, kalamata olives, garlic, cauliflower, capers, celery, carrot, pepperoncini, cocktail onions, celery seed, oregano, basil, black pepper, vinegar, olive oil and canola oil. Mix together and transfer mixture into a glass jar (or other nonreactive container). If needed, pour in more oil to cover. Cover jar or container and refrigerate at least overnight.
2. To Make Sandwiches: Cut loaves of bread in half horizontally; hollow out some of the excess bread to make room for filling. Spread each piece of bread with equal amounts olive salad, including oil. Layer 'bottom half' of each loaf with 1/2 of the salami, ham, mortadella, mozzarella and Provolone. Replace 'top half' on each loaf and cut sandwich into quarters.
3. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly and refrigerate for a few hours; this will allow for the flavors to mingle and the olive salad to soak into the bread.
GROSS. YUCK. A travesty.
And then the customer got mad because it didn't TASTE like a muffuletta.
DUH !!!

Can we PLEASE get rid of the word 'LITERALLY!!'
My God, it's becoming more over used than ''like''. Everything is now ''literally'' this, or ''literally'' that! It's not even being used correctly!!
A girl at work was telling me about her weekend, and she said her and her husband "literally went to the movies on Friday night."
Really?? You literally went? *smh*
They literally sat down.....they literally ate popcorn....they literally watched the movie......ENOUGH!!!
My niece just posted a youtube video of some girl dancing and lip syncing in her car. She commented 'this is literally me!"
Uh, nooooooooo
If it was LITERALLY you, it would BE YOU AND NOT THAT GIRL!!
(deep breath!)
Ok, I'm done. lol

I was reading an article about the dangers in releasing helium balloons - birds and animals get tangled in the trailing ribbons and die; fish, marine life, birds and others eat the balloons mistaking it for food and then die of complications. In the comments following as this gem :
I don't release balloons, largely because it simply doesn't appeal to me. But if it's such a big deal, maybe we should allowing oil to be transported by boat, require anyone who buys a pet(including fish and hamsters) to be trained and legally licensed, ban pet snakes because they eat mice, and outlaw eating meats. Just a thought.

... require anyone who buys a pet(including fish and hamsters) to be trained and legally licensed...
.. ban pet snakes because they eat mice ...
It depends on the species and the size of the snake... some eat crickets, some eat other things... b the snakes are not shopping ahe grocery store.
..and outlaw eating meats. Just a thought.
Yeah. :SMH: And this has what to o with balloons and wildlife ??Laissez les bon temps rouler!
