Nah, stuff the board games. Get yourself something really nice Scout. Something you've been eyeing for ages but didn't pull the trigger on. You deserve it. We all do.
Surely though H isn't that much of a tool that he wouldn't get you something on behalf of S.
Good luck with the open house and have fun. I'd have one but too no-one round me to invite!
DS9, this post shows us all that you are a great guy. And I agree, Scout needs to get herself some earrings or something too!
But yes, all our MLCers are that much of a tool.
About the open house -- I have the same problem as you but I have been doing this open house twice a month and I invited almost everyone I liked at all and find that each time 2 to 4 people come, and it's enough to hang out by the fire and not feel lonely. So maybe you just need to expand your vision of it or ask at your (or a) church about a family who needs an evening like that!
I believe I will see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord with courage. Be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord.
