They always shut down our local beach for e coli growing up ::shudder:: we made the move to the further beach after that happened a couple of times. That GD beach is still in existence today.

I'm always surprised by the frequency that people claim food poisoning on the internet. I'm also always taken aback at how far people go to avoid eating what others cook so maybe I have some sort of gastrointestinal privilege blindspot. I don't get mystery stomach viruses. I just think people are nasty AF.

MH and I are arguing about RSVPs right now too. His aunt is retiring this year and his other aunt asked us if we would be at the retirement party, I told her no, and then he privately asked me if we had rsvp’d and I told him no because we didn’t get an invitation. He’s sure this is a mistake and wants to call his cousin and let her know we can’t be there. I’m like DO NOT DO THAT! If we are hearing about a party for the first time 10 days before from someone other than the host it is a safe assumption that we did not make the guest list. And he’s adamant that it could be lost in the mail. I can’t stop him from doing what he’ll do, but I’m right, right? He’s about to make things unnecessarily awkward? Oh this reminds me of the time my H and I were invited to a coed wedding shower, which confused us because we hadn't gotten an invite to the wedding (taking place about a month later). And no, the invitation wasn't lost in the mail as I learned after discreetly enquiring with the maid of honor, also a friend, because I didn't want to embarrass the bride and groom. We were gracious and attended and gave a gift card but I'm side eyeing to this day. I get budgets and not being able to invite all your friends but an invitation to the shower but not the wedding is an etiquette scandal in my eyes. Ha. This was my mother for my shower. I was paying for my own wedding and she threw me a shower. I begged her to stick to the wedding list but newp, she didn't (even after a huge fight about it). So I spent my whole shower telling people that my wedding was in three weeks in a different state and watching them try to keep a straight face. I was so mortified. And I hand wrote every single person a very nice thank you card and had them all mailed within a month of the wedding.

If it makes you feel any better, if the wedding had been in a different state, I wouldn't have thought twice.

ttcbabyj , I kind of don't believe your story. Either half of it-- that someone would put the effort in to address, stamp and mail a blank thank you card and also that you sent it back. I am sure you don't care that I don't believe you, but I just needed to say it. Hours late, so hope I’m not dropping this in a weird spot, but my cousin actually did this with her bridal shower thank you cards. The outside of the card was the typical floral picture and preprinted thank you and then on the inside of the card, she just signed her name. Nothing else inside, not even a preprinted message. So I burned the bitch’s house down. It might seem extreme, but I take thank you card etiquette seriously. I totally read this in Veronica's voice.

I feel for the Roseanne cast and crew. So many of you guys work with Trumper assholes, but now HWood jobs are a dime a dozen and you shouldn’t take a paycheck if there’s one person in your entire organization that has different views than you? Come on now. Black people have been ignoring racism for a check since white people finally deigned to pay us. I'm very shruggy guy at all the "But you took a job from a racist so fuck you too!!!" I'm seeing everywhere. My irritation is with ABC and their “we won’t stand for this racism and we are cancelling her show immediately!” statement. Because you guys weren’t aware of her views, sure. I was aware of her views and I barely know who she is. They were just hoping she’d keep her twitter under control long enough to make them some money.

Google disagrees with you. There's a whole list of other shit you can get. Ok idk. But we had some outbreak when the public pool wasn't properly chlorinated. And we had several kids end up hospitalized with bloody stool and dehydration. I thought it was salmonella but it could have been something else. It was gross though. Cryptosporidium parasite is notorious for shutting down pools. Maybe that was it?

It lives it's life anyway. Also possible- e. coli, Giardia, noro, and a few others. They all pretty much cause the same reaction. Lol should have kept reading.

I remember it being something I associated with chicken and I was like omg you can get that from the pool? So I'm guessing e. Coli if it wasn't salmonella. The Public health Dept. Got invovled and it was a big thing. I just felt terrible for the poor kids I took care of that were having bright red blood mucus stool every 30 minutes for days on end. It was terrible. They would cry out with cramps, then pass the stool and relax for a bit before the whole thing started over. I swore off public pools since then.

The pool one is frequently crypto I believe. We had an outbreak at a pool 15 years ago that was discovered right after we took all of our day campers on a field trip to said pool. Absolutely awful and I think almost every single counselor got it. I still swim in pools all the time though.

Yeah I don't love loot bags either. I make an effort to only put consumables in mine. Things that will be eaten up or used up and then done. Bubbles, a few candies, a few tattoos, a mini playdoh. I wish all parents would collectively agree that kids don't need extra things after attending a party. You come to play, there's food, cake. That's enough. 6 hours late... but my kid LOVES a goody bag. He was so freakin excited to give them out at his party and he loves getting them

Bubblegum my response is really late, but people never RSVP to my kids’ parties and then show up. Occasionally, I email or text and ask if they are coming. I would not, based on my experience, think that no one is coming just because no one RSVPed.

A diamond necklace would probably get stolen by my housekeeper. Let's face it though, she's drinking your whiskey too. My friend had to fire her housekeeper when they realized she was drinking their beer and stealing their toilet paper and paper towels.

I have referred to her as “tacky friend” before on here. I didn’t send anything back though.

Ok so no rsvp means not coming? Can someone confirm this for me please? I know this is a day late but SIL2 had 66+ people RSVP “yes” they were going to attend her baby shower. Barely 20 people actually showed! So I would say nothing is guaranteed even if they do RSVP

And I can't believe that that many people had legitimate excuses where they couldn't give the host a heads up that they weren't coming.

I bet they used pre-printed address labels too Nope. It was a plain white picture holding card with their picture inside. No words at all on it. I don’t even remember what the envelope said or if it was preprinted or not. I was pretty upset. I paid for her bridal shower instead of cremating my cat when I had to put her to sleep. I spent $220 + alterations on a dress that I hated. MH and I gave them $500 as a gift. I didn’t get not a single thank you out of all of that.
