Dear Annie: A few

months ago, we invited new-
lyweds to visit us for a long BORN LOSER
weekend at our vacation
home in Arizona. These are
young friends in their early
30s. As a gift, we paid for
their airline tickets and wined
and dined them during their
visit. We also gave them a
wedding card with a signifi-
cant check.
Three weeks after the
visit, we received a two-line
e-mail thanking us for the
plane tickets and the wed-
ding gift. That was it. No FRANK & ERNEST

is how young adults thank
others for their generosity.
