- Comment on How do I tell my co-workers I'm not attending a wedding without creating drama? 1 week ago:
My initial thought is that it all seems very dramatic for a “petty” grudge, so I suspect you’ve only told part of the story. That said:
1) You sound caught between your mother and your brother, which isn’t a fair place to be. Neither your mother nor your brother should have involved you in their personal issues. If they want the best for you, they should both want you to have a healthy relationship with the other person, especially if their disagreement is over something petty. In this particular example, your mother should be encouraging you to attend your brother’s wedding. If she isn’t, why not?
2) If your brother is the kind of person to hold petty grudges, your mother is unlikely to be the 1st person he has issues with. Is he known for holding grudges generally? If so, you are allowed to not want to be close to him.
If not, why this grudge? Who told you the details of the “petty grudge”? Have you heard both sides of the story? If you’ve only heard your mom’s side, maybe you should talk to your brother.
3) If you’ve decided not to go to the wedding, then at least RSVP no. There is no reason to be discourteous. Not RSVP’ing could seriously damage your own relationship with your brother and/or his future wife, which you may one day regret. No need to slam a door closed unnecessarily.
4) Simply tell your colleagues you can’t attend the wedding. End of sentence. You don’t have to tell them why.

TIL Emmental de Savoie exists
I was about to post the um, ackshyually meme, then luckily checked myself.
Emmental is a cheese of Swiss origin that takes its name from the valley crossed by the river of the same name: the Emme. While the name’s origin is Swiss, the history of this unique cheese is shared by Switzerland and the Savoie region
Mmmm… cheese… snack time

Depends on the height of your bucket. Imagine a little kid sitting in bed. They need something low and lightweight. Our bucket was too high to be practical

Sheepish does not mean nervous.
It means being shamefaced, usually embarrassed when you did / said something wrong and it comes out. It can also mean meek or docile.

Oh look, a meme created by a man, who promptly ignored the more frequent use for toilet paper employed by 50% of the population 🙄

Gah, I forgot about expiry dates!
Oh well, at least they exist now. Now to figure out which ones are effective and ensure someone implements them...
