I would send it. I would wait until after the holidays if the cat dies before then. I would use it as an opportunity to say something nice about your friend. Dear Brother of Friend, I wanted to drop you a note to let you know friend's cat... [more]

My great aunt, rest her soul, lived to be 98. When me and the kids would visit her near the end of her life, she would insist we go to the CF. She would get the same thing every time, take a few bites, have it wrapped to go and have free food (I... [more]

I am not real big on singling out people publicly, not because I don't have people to acknowledge, but because I do not want to risk leaving someone out. So, having said that, thank you to the entire staff, mods, programmers, volunteers, etc. and... [more]

It is really honorable of you to feel an obligation to help your sister and mother. I happen to think it is a valid obligation, but not at all costs. From your brief description, I would look a the longer term picture and stay on your career path.... [more]
