    what is the etiquette? If you invite someone over for dinner, do you the host ask them to bring something or do you wait for the guest to offer? Now I grew up knowing you wait for the guest to offer and then say yes or no however every time my sister in law invites us over she is always asking for us to bring something and i get so irritated about it but can't seem to find a way to tell her. I never ask her to bring anything when i invite her over hoping she would get a clue. Am i wrong for feeling this way?

    I usually just say "bring food or don't bother coming".

    I always take a bottle of wine for the host but usually drink it on my way there. It's the thought that counts? Best intentions, *kitten* results?

    A good host would congratulate your efforts. Plus you could stick a candle in the empty bottle and make it all atmospheric.

    This is why one always buys TWO bottles of wine on the way to the dinner party. Amateur.

    When mfp members have little battles and I don't get it. Explain what is going on for those of us who don't know.
    Clearly you want an audience, and I love drama!

    Well it all started when...

    Yes! Do continue please!

    I'm here listening, waiting.

    The elusive man drama is something I especially look forward to. It's like a jackpot that can only be topped by a super fun troll thread that gets everyone all riled up.

    In all honesty it started because I was a big jerk. I started talking to two people around the same time. As friends at first and both relationships grew past that. I lied to both people and hurt both of them. One of the hurt parties told a friend because she can and wanted to. The issue was the friend decided to share this info with other people and try to label me as a bad guy.

    *kitten* ..you had 2 others ... :sad: but you said I was the only one :'(

    Kudos for coming clean..even though my widdle heart is bwoken

    Oh, I'm sorry.

    I like drama, and excitement...but I don't like personal gossip. I respect privacy.

    I didn't mean to make light of your situation, that really sucks.
