DEAR ABBY: I not too long ago purchased a new home. I used to be downsizing because my mom has handed away and my daughter went out of state to school. I invited my best buddy and her son over. We have been best pals since junior high, and I like her dearly.
I truly purchased my new furnishings with weight concerns as a issue because she and her son weigh about 1,000 kilos mixed. As they sat down, my buddy joked about having damaged other people’s furnishings in the past. Then there was an audible “crack” as they sat down on my sofa. She just regarded at me and made no remark.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I’ve neighbors we aren’t in being pals with. We are a spiritual household and consider in God. They have a black ram’s head hanging in their lounge, if you catch my drift. They keep inviting us to occasions at their home or to spend time with them, and we don’t know how to politely decline without making anybody indignant. How can we keep our distance? — STAYING AWAY IN NEW YORK
