Dear Frustrated

My heart goes out to you. HOW (and I mean HOW) could martha allow you to make such an ass of yourself in front of others? It might take years to live this down.

To have ANYTHING representing "Jackie Paper" on a "Folk table" is the height of declasse. Now, if your guests were "singer-songwriter people" that's a different story. They might appreciate your effort, and you could have also offered some lovely "Elusive Buttertarts Of Love", "16 Buns", "Ani di Franks and beans", and for that "just right" piece de resistance.... a giant Chopped liver diary with a Marzipan Takamine guitar (make sure it's acoustic-ELECTRIC...'cause those teenage girls LOVE the extra volume)

I know those "folkie guests" would really appreciate individual fortune cookies, each with it's own Child Ballad inside......but watch those texts, no modern re-writes, eh sweetie?
