text: Gosh I grew up with this friend.  I still am her only friend and whenever I got friends she would make it difficult for me to keep them.  Luckily I live 2000 miles away now.  \nANYWAY...I think your going to just have to bite the bullet and say Look Jane everytime I ask them to come they are always busy...so I am just not going to ask them anymore...if you want you can ask them.  \nThat way you get off the hook and she will have you stop asking, and if she really wants them to come she can call them up and invite them herselves.  Right?
