I know what I would DREAM about doing, and it goes something like this:&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;1.  Anyone who wishes to come to (XYZ  occasion) is welcome, but leave the drama at home.  I mean it.  If you're having a fight with any of my guests, I'd better not hear so much as a grumble outta either of you.&lt;BR/&gt;2.  Don't bring anything.  I can't count on it to be there.&lt;BR/&gt;3.  Any fighting in front of my toddler and YOU WILL NOT BE INVITED BACK, PERIOD.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Wow, that felt good.  Don't you wish it were that easy?  I wish you luck, and stick with Mindy -- you two ARE each other's family!&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Laurie</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1909008561954985340/2622520606790966063/comments/default/5590421116654988916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1909008561954985340/2622520606790966063/comments/default/5590421116654988916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.avavonsnarky.com/2008/01/throwing-in-towel.html?showComment=1200009660000#c5590421116654988916' title=''/><author><name>foolery</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14437690389824744691</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.avavonsnarky.com/2008/01/throwing-in-towel.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1909008561954985340.post-2622520606790966063' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1909008561954985340/posts/default/2622520606790966063' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
