QUESTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS: How did I go from invited guest to unpaid catering staff in the span of three emails? What can I say to men who crush my hand when they shake it? Was it rude of my husband to send our mutual friend a condolence card without letting me sign it? Can I insist that houseguests rent a car and do some activities on their own?
