[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m friendly with my neighbors. It costs nothing. We do each other small favors—I’m talking grabbing packages off the porch. I’m glad we are friendly and have no expectations of deep friendship. Super glad to have neighbors.[/quote]

Read much?  She's talking about "neighborhood friends," not neighbors.  Sounds like she means the kids' friends' parents.  Yea, they're not real friends.  Just friends of convenience.  Dump 'em.[/quote]

Yes, they’re neighborhood friends not just neighbors. Friends of convenience—that’s it! Yes I am ready to let them go. I have done a lot of fakey fake dinners and gabbing over the years.[/quote]

Describe a “fakey fake” dinner. Like, if someone invited you to dinner, that’s a nice thing to do. You might not fall into a deep best friendship, but that was a kind gesture.[/quote]

I think a fakey fake dinner is something where it’s not set up with good intentions. It’s set up for other reasons, like to pay homage to the Queen Bee, to drink too much and gossip about acquaintances, or maybe to have something to photograph for Facebook to advertise the hive. [/quote]

Some of you posters really act like life is an episode of “Depserate Housewives.” Did you really just type “pay homage to the Queen Bee”? What are you talking about? If someone invites you out to dinner, it’s a nice gesture. My goodness. And if you’ve even gossiped one time (you have, don’t lie) don’t be a massive hypocrite and clutch your pearls if other people gossip. Life is not a Danielle Steele novel, and you really need to get a grip and grow up.[/quote]

Yeah, if you don't like these people because they are mean or whatever, fine, but having dinner with someone who isn't your best friend doesn't make it fake.  I've had meals with acquaintances that were perfectly pleasant and enjoyable.  I don't see the point is not being friendly to people when you see them, even if you stop issuing invitations and don't go out of your way to do them favors.  So dramatic![/quote]
