DEAR HARRIETTE: Every time I see a particular woman in my wife's friend group, she looks at me, says hello and asks my name. I want to say that I have been in her company for a good 15 years — though not closely. We do go to the same parties every year and share many of the same friends and associates. I find it baffling that this woman doesn't ever recognize me. I see her anywhere from five to 10 times a year.

Yes, but it's a sin.'
