I'm pretty spoiled. My husband took over the cooking 8 years ago. I get up early in the morning, before everyone else and load the dishwasher and do the pots and the rest of the kitchen. I never do anything at night. My son empties some of the dishwashers. It's been pretty good for me. Fantastic healthy food. Time alone in the morning, talk to my 94 year old mom and clean dishes. My husband always comments and thanks me for the nice kitchen. Ceviche tonight for dinner.

What Kassaundra said is correct. The only thing I'd add is that if a swapper want their remnants back, please put a REQUEST in every packet. Most people will comply but a few will forget. But it IS customary to keep remnants. I would actually prefer swappers be allowed to keep them if they can use them. It feels a little unfair if a swapper keeps the remnants from f8s they receive yet they ask for the return of their own fabric.
Hope that helps.

Okay, a few more fabric questions.
If the groups don't fill up, are we still sending out 19 F8 or is the amount adjusted based on the number of participants? I'm fine either way, just wondering how that's handled.
Do people typically request to have their fabric returned to them? Again, not something I'm overly concerned with, only curious what's customary.
I haven't selected my fabric yet (still deciding), but if I opt to send out 2 fabrics, do I send out 2 pieces that total a F8? Or do I send out a F8 of one fabric and then extra of the 2nd fabric?
Thanks.

I've only done one Boom, but I returned all big pieces... or made an extra "bonus" block with them. I didn't keep anything bigger than the smallest scraps, as I have plenty of fabric already! Who knows that the sender might need those pieces to make another block or two at the end...
I suppose you could put "keep leftovers" or "return leftovers" in your note.

This is not quilting or boom related, but something I need to make a decision on very soon.
Here is the set up. There is a family member you are suppose to be close w/ however are not, you are always expected to be put out in any interaction w/ them, they make very little attempt at a relationship w/ you except when it makes them "look good". Someone that is very close to them is having surgery. You volunteered to be with them at the hospital for it, but told them you needed to know as soon as they knew the date and time of the surgery so you could make arrangements. They know for some time, but don't tell you until 3 days before. As it happens you could go, do you?
I feel it is a passive aggressive action, and attempt to legitimize their "victim" status of having no support. Do I sound off base?

Yes, it's passive aggressive control. How well do you know the person having surgery? And why can't they go by themselves? If you are not close to the person having the surgery, I'd bow out. Only because I wouldn't want to spend the day at the hospital with someone who enjoys 'playing' me and pushing my buttons.

What will make you feel worse? going and dealing with that possible drama or not going and dealing with your own internal dialog? I do not think you are off base at all.
