Letter to my soon to be in laws?

Q. Id love some help on what to say in a thank you card to my future in-laws for the dinnerware set they (both parents) got for us for our housewarming gift? Id also really like to say something nice about what their son means to me but im just having the worst writers block on getting started. Anyone have an example?

Answer
dear mr and mrs JOnes,

As much as I look forward to starting my new life with Joe, and enjoy receiving gifts that symbolize the beginning of "ours,"as I imagine our lives together, family meals shared on these plates, holiday gatherings years from now with our own family, I want to express gratitude for your sharing with me the greatest gift in my life, and that is your wonderful son. I know how very much the two of you love him and want the best for him in all things. In that respect, I feel so honored to be the one he has chosen to spend his life with. He is the finest man I have ever known, and I have the two of you to thank for bringing him up to be a kind, caring, thoughtful, and hardworking young man. The values you instilled in him are what I always held very highly as well. We appreciate everything you do for us and I look so forward to becoming a member of your family.

The china is symbolic, in a way, of how you nurture our love for each other. We will enjoy it for many years to come as we build a partnership and a home that we hope is as loving and as strong as your own.

Does anyone know of some feminine looking tools and sports equipment?

Q. Hi, I'm a bit of an oxymoron. I'm girly, but a bit of a tomboy. I like playing sports and I like working on my car and motorcycle. I was hoping though that I could find some more feminine looking tools or sports equipment? Like in feminine colors to fit my girly side (like pink?) and to keep my brother and my guy friends from touching my stuff since they always lose them or destroy them.

Answer
Try Tractor Supply if there is one near you. I saw a cool pink tool box out there last year with pink handled tools in it.

I dipped all my tools in pink enamel paint to keep the men from borrowing them, but they did anyway then denied they came out of my tool box.

My daughter is a certified airline mechanic and has 5 huge toolboxes! She put the last 4 digits of her social on the handles with etching machine then put lavender paint on it so the paint was embedded in the etchings. She is anything but girly!!

Also in this mail order catalogue, Kotulas, there are some dinnerware stuff with tool handles!! You didn't ask or even know about them, but they are totally cool for the girly part of you. Got daughter a set of the flatware for her lunch box. Online they are Kotulas.com

You are not an oxymoron or bit of tomboy!! You are a modern girl with progressive attitude!! I like that!

Should I cut off ties with my sister?

dinnerware sets for men image

Q. My sister and I are 3 years apart, me being the youngest out of the two.

I was never invite to her wedding, engagement, and any special events! My parents asked me to come to my sister's wedding, uninvited! I flew more than 2,000 miles to attend her wedding, didn't get a thank you, and ran errands for her! I'm not even her bridemaids. She made her so called "friends" her bridemaids when they didn't do anything like bridemaids should do. Instead I was running around like a crazy person preparing for wedding, 2 days before the actual wedding.

I was not notify that she was pregnant in March nor that fact that she's having a baby shower today! Hell, it was so unexpectedly to found out that she was pregnant and having a baby's shower today! I feel like she cut off ties with me!

What the hell is wrong with that b*tch?!

She is always my parents favorite. She married to a rich man, she got a good job, and etc! There is no sibling competition between us, because she will always win!

I never hurt her or do anything that will sabotage her! I just wanted to be love by her! Taking to her is useless, she doesn't care about me at all. She's freaking 28 years old and she hates me. I just know it!

Anyways should I send gifts to her baby? Last time I bought her an expensive china dinnerware set for her wedding. Not once has she thank me. All of her "friends" always get her cheap stuffs and not one of them ever bought her something nice. Hell, she has not contacts me years since I moved out at 20.

Ugh, I just dont want to spend $200 or more for a baby stroller, that I know she might return it or not thank me for the gift.

What should I do about this baby's gift thingy and my stupid evil sister?

Answer
i don't know but my gut feeling is if she does not send you an annoucement or contact you it does not seem like there is any reason to send her anything. But maybe a short phone call to her saying i just found out you were pregnant and the baby shower is today and wanted to congratulate you. Based on her behavior or lack or it, in my book that would be plenty. The same applies when the kid comes.

How do i make her feel special?

So this girl who likes me and i like her is saying that she isnt completely sure if she wants to date me but i want to make feel special and show her how much i care.
any ideas

Answer
One of the simplest (but a little bit time-consuming) things you can do is cook a nice dinner for her. Ask her to come dressed-up, and you dress the same. The meal doesn't have to be gourmet with a fancy presentation. But set the table with some nice flowers or centerpiece. Have your place spotlessly clean. Serve the food on nice dinnerware with an entrée and maybe two sides. Serve some nice red wine in large goblets. Or any variation of those things.

In other words, go the extra ten yards to make her experience with you both wonderfully pleasurable and memorable. She will feel pampered, because that's how you will be treating her. The night should be all about her.

She will know and appreciate all of the work and preparation that you put into the evening. She will realize, obviously, that you did it all for her. And women appreciate men who cook for them even it is not often.

She will then, at the very least, consider you more seriously as a dating partner.
