My whole thing is don't try to be a baller if you ain't. A former co-worker wanted to have a big shing ding for her 40th. She was renting out the private room at a popular supper club here, ADAMENT about people dressing in formal attire (full length dresses, tuxes, etc.) and had the banging menu. I was like "WOW, that sounds NICE!!" Then she lets out that it would only be $30.00 per person!! Plus, she expected a gift! I told her, honey you are not having a party, you asked some folks to go to the club AND you trying to tell them what to wear?!?!? After breaking down my thought process, she decided to scale back her affair.

LMHYAO! Girl, that's a mess! How you gon' have a formal affair, charge folks at the door *and this is the kicker* AND expect a gift.

Eclipse, glad you talked ole girl "down from the roof". lol
