First off, I have a sever nut allergy...30 min to live if I ingest nuts and I told the host. Incase she forgot and for my own saftey, I plan to check with the person serving the food. If there are nuts, is it rude to ask for something different or not eat it? Should I contact her a couple days before and remind her about my allergy?

Second, what topics should I avoid. I tend to be really opinionated and speak my mind...sometimes I speak with out thinking first but I'm going to try my best not to at the dinner.

Third, can someone please remind me about proper table manners? I know not to speak with my mouth full and no elbows on the table. But for a formal dinner, there's probably more that I shouldn't do and do.

Any other advice would be great!
Thanks

why is it that non-smokers feel that they have the right to preach to smokers about the "mistake" that they are making!?!?

My house needs loads of work doing. I bought it mortgage free after my divorce. Trouble is I've got no money. I'm in my 50's, should I get a loan or mortgage and hang on to the house until I retire or should I sell it and buy a flat? (depressed about doing that) I've lived here for 6 years and my attempts at DIY have only made it worse, but the thoughts of having to pay off a loan means I have to carry on doing a job I hate.(Badly need a change of career, but the pay is good). If I sell it in the state its in now I will have to sell at a much lower price. Has anyone got any idea's? It's a small 2 bedroom house worth about 250K. I haven't got space for lodgers as my daughter lives with me.

I pretended i had a girlfriend and used my cousins picture.
any ever do that? i felt insecure about not having a girlfriend. A couple other friends were giving me crap about it so i cut out a picture of my cousin and showed them that and they said whats her name and i was caught offguard and said a famous celebrities name and they all started laughing at me. Do you think they know that it was made up? They said is that your girlfriend? i said yes. Do you think they saw the resemblence? I hate the fact i dont have a girlfriend and they were always talking about theirs.

My brother is a cocaine addict. In the past eight months, he has overdosed and nearly died three separate times. He refuses to go to rehab, and I truly believe that he needs it. Is there any way that my parents can commit him involuntarily? We are all worried that eventually he is going to succeed at killing himself. The last time he nearly overdosed he got into a huge fight with my brothers and my father. He was totally out of control. He even bit my father several times. They ended up having to call the police to help them control him. The police took him to the hospital and there the doctors said that he could of died because he had a lot of cocaine in his system. The next day they put him in detox. The funny thing is that he did not remember what he had done the next day. By the way, he ended up getting charge by the cops who were supposed to helping for assault because he spit at an officer. He doesn't remember that either. He also got some other charges.

Does the economy affect the money market? If the stock market crashes, does the money market go down dramatically?

I'm asking because I do not fully understand how the money market works. Thanks in advanced for your answers.
