Do I furtively look for one? At that moment, or after dinner?
A woman in my neighborhood was recently horrified and heartbroken when she witnessed a coyote taking away her cat.I had been equally aghast when that $@%#* cat crushed one, then another, then a third hummingbird right outside the window where I enjoy my morning coffee. Fortunately, my coffee cup was in the saucer or I would have lost it.
I know there is plenty of evidence that loose cats kill millions of birds each year. This is not nature; it’s irresponsible people imposing their pet preferences on the rest of us and the birds.Since nature has taken its course, Miss Manner trusts that you will now go against yours and be kind to this woman when you see her. She has lost her cat to the circle of life — and your theory about nature’s morality will not likely ease the pain.
In the mail, we received a formal invitation for the rescheduled black-tie affair, but included in the same envelope was another card. It read as follows: “In light of the current circumstances and state restrictions, we must limit our guest count. Please accept our apologies. We will miss you and know we are together in spirit.”
Is it normal to send both the official invitation and the disinvitation in the same mailing? Instead, shouldn’t it have been a wedding announcement after the fact? It is a little confusing and curious. Inquiring minds want to know what Miss Manners would say in this situation!That it is double the insult to draw further attention to what a disinvited guest will be missing. An announcement after the fact would, Miss Manners agrees, have been far more gracious.
