Today I had one of those WTF moments. I got home from work and there were 2 packages waiting. One was the parts for my car, so that was cool. The other was from Arizona. It was to me addressed in care of my dad. Now my dad has ton's of family down there so I'm thinking hrmm... is this really for me. I opened it up to be sure. Inside is a knitted blanket. So now I'm really thinking huh? WTF? There is a letter inside:

"Dear Micheal:
I sorry this is so long getting to you. I've moved so many times I lost it in packing.
Hope you like it.
Gina."

WTF!!!!!

So I'm "thinking" (Remember I last went out with her over 2 years ago) she said she was taking up knitting, and that she would knit me something... (man I'm trying to reach out to the back of my memory for this) Now the package has the name Babina on it. When I went out with her she had the last name Haws which was the same as her son's, so previous marriage. So either she went back to her maiden name, which I never learned/don't remember, or has gotten married.

So do I send a thank you letter?

Yeah, send a thankyou letter… you know she’s in AZ, so there’s not really any chance of a hookup, and depending on how you word the letter, you can make it clear your only a friend, but either way, it was a very nice gesture to send it to you, and it deserves a thanx.

I dunno. A thank you letter could essentially open that line of communication, do you really want that?
Just my 2 copper.

Yeah, send a thank you card. Simple, short…something that acknowledges the thoughtful act but not an invitation to future correspondence.

Unless you want future correspondence, then by all means, send a letter dipped in your cologne.

That is a serious WTF moment. I could go on and on about the weirdness.
But yeah, “Gina, thanks for the blanket, you did a good job on it! -Mike” would suffice.

Nothing wrong with a thank you note. You can do it smooth and with style without having to revisit past experience. Then wrap yourself up with it and keep warm because it’s fricken freezing out there!
