I Ask Again, WHAT are These Two Thinking?

OK. Here is the latest in the Fred and Quiet Man world.

Last night, I spoke to my mother, who for what ever reason was talking to Fred.

He is having a cocktail and dinner party, complete with white tents and god knows what else at his new multimillion dollar home. I point out the price, because that is what his stupid party is all about, look at me, Fred, I am wealthy, I spend money, I am fabulous, love me, look at me, etc etc etc.

I think he is also trying to out do the son of the famous mother on TV person who had the party at his mansion last year. I would take bets.

Now, my mother has no idea about Quiet Man. She handed me the engraved invitation-that looked like a WEDDING invite-complete with picture of Fred's new digs.

Today my brother who also talked to Fred earlier in the week, and asked me today if I was going because he had to give Fred a head count. My mother mentioned he specifically asked for me; my brother had the invitation Fred himself wrote out for me. My brother really likes Fred and Quiet Man and they him. He felt the need to tell me that today, as if to force my hand into saying yes I will go, because if I don't, then I guess he does not want me to insult Fred, by not going.

I think Fred will be insulted if the bum on the street refused his invitation, because it's a fact Fred would log in his mind as a rejection of Fred. Remember, its all about Fred and his ego. And don't forget, Fred considers Quiet Man the equivalent of his brother. Where these two found each other, I have no idea.

I cannot believe this. Fred's invitation says we are invited as guest of Mr. & Mrs. Fred. I felt like calling Fred up on his RSVP numberS- yes he has like FIVE RSVP numbers on the invitation, and asking him where will all the other potential Mrs. Fred's will be on that night?

If Mrs. Fred is going to be there [why wouldn't she, it's her house] will Mrs. Quiet Man be there? My family is thinking it's strange that I am hesitating on an RSVP. It's because they do not know what I, Fred and Quiet Man know.

Would Quiet Man show up without Mrs. Quiet Man? Perhaps, but I don't know. He never even talked about her for all the months he was hitting on, inquiring about, flirting with me and asking me out.

Of course, I am on the fence, pondering what to do. I should go and ignore him with or without Mrs. Quiet Man. I should not go and maybe Fred and Quiet Man will get a message they have apparently not understood by my utter refusal to interact with them since the end of MAY 2007. If I go, I am sure with Mrs. Quiet Man there or not, he will make some sort of attempt to converse with me. If I throw a drink on him, I will look like a crazy woman, because only one other person will know why I threw that drink.

I could conveniently force him to introduce Mrs. Quiet Man to me and put him on the hot seat, but I have not any interest in that woman, much less want to see her middle aged ass.

Whether he is there alone or not, if I refuse to speak to him or don't act naturally enough if I do, my mother's radar will pick that up lickety split and I will have that issue to deal with, especially if she sees a Mrs. Quiet Man. My mother thinks Quiet Man is single anyway.

Fred sucks.
