Yikes. Hope the location was some where fun at least.


Meh, Would've been much more fun without having to sit through a wedding...


Seriously--that one was on you. How could you have thought that was a reasonable decision? Just say "Sorry, we can't come. Best wishes to you."


To your brother?

The extended warranty on our car comes to mind, though.



Actually this is one of those that is a good use of money. It pays itself back, especially in expensive DC, in 2 or even 1 repair.
