ok. your significant other is moving,, has 2 neighbors, one of wich happens to be their babysitter,, other is unknown other than its a married couple with child. From what information that makes its way to you from your significant other is that the "other" (the opposite sexed one) neighbor makes a comment to the babysitter that the "new tennant" is hot. this "creeps out" the sig other for some reason.. days go by,,,no new info,, well your with your significant other and the creepy neighbor happens into the situation.. your significant other, in a mild way, lights up, and they converse like friends to an extent.. but the last you knew was that you significant other was "really creeped out" , but now they are buddys.... and turns out, they've talked well more than once... what would you think?

So I manage a team of 10 people, and the one that has been there for 27 years... is not changing with the times. I have tried different ways to help that individual retain information and give the individual the training and tools to keep up with the peer group... Sadly, all my efforts have not made a dent in the problem. Alhough I value this individuals input, as a leader I feel that I must keep the right people on my team so that everyone is equally contributing. How would you address this situation? Is there a rock that I have left unturned? I value retention more than turnover, but ultimately it is my job on the line if my team does not perform. Is it fair to keep an individual on who does not pull their weight and expect the others to pull it?

You've all seen it, hair twisting, nail biting, foot and leg tremors...but is there more? What have you seen that is the most different habit?

Tomorrow's my mom's funeral, and four of my good friends from my travels (one who has spent several weekends at my house, two who met my mom once or twice, and one who I don't believe ever met her) are driving down for the day to offer me support. Is that appropriate?

I just kept putting off and putting off sending the gift out of sheer laziness, now i've had a bit of a falling out with the female part of the couple that the gift was intended for, and so i'm wondering if it's ok to send that gift to a couple who got married more recently (both of whom I actually like)

I really hate that. It makes me feel like I am somehow supposed to control ALL elements of fate - and that by being a good person & working hard, it isn't enough. Now, I am "cursed" by fate, the gods, karma, God, whatever you believe.....! I find this to be such an insult. Help me think of a good comeback, please! BIG THANKS!

Our wedding was almost a year ago and I have not yet sent out most thank you notes. I want to send them still. Do I gloss over it and just keep writing them? Can I write something like It's been a wonderful year and we would like to thank you for...? Do I really bring attention to it and apologize and explain in the card?

Help.

What i mean is this, i took my daughter to centre island today (amusement park) and we are standing in line, this woman 2 people ahead of me, suddenly has 4 kids dart past us into her space. Now of course I got ticked off....was I wrong, or is that rude, I told her that she could not hold a space for 4 kids when we were waiting in line for over 15 minutes as it was, and the line was huge...do you not think they should have been at the back of the line? ( my daughter is 5.)

We are curently trying to save up the $$ to put a new house on the land we have. We'd like to have a small Christmas this year, and only exchange gift with our kids, and perhaps something small for each set of parents. Problem is, we have several friends and also my sister-in-law and her family, my in-laws, and some cousins who are all very gift oriented, and into the commercialization of the holiday season (where my sister in law is concerned, it doesnt matter what she and her kids get, as long as she can tell it's costly!). My parents are in total agreement and we will only be enjoying a family meal out when the holidays arrive. I usually start my shopping about now, so I need to know WHO I'm gonna be buying for!
We'd like to approach them or even email them and basically say, "hey, give us the gift of letting us save up for our house and not having to buy y'all expensive crap this year."
See...I'm not a tactful person!!! What is the best approach to this situation, ettiqute-wise?

A long time ago (a couple months), it doeesn't matter if it was a long time ago, but anyway, this neighbor/ slash girlscout came to our door selling cookies with her mother. I thought she was ok, I think she wanted to be friends with me, because everytime I'd see her outside, she'd stare at me, like she wanted something. She's eleven now, and when she was selling cookies with her mom (SAHM with three other siblings) she was all shy and didn't even bother to say hi. What happend to her? She used to be so well mannered, but now when she sold me cookies, she didn't even say good evening or didn't even speak up! Her mom had to do the selling for her. What a dud! Anyway, I let time pass and let time cool me off my anger, but it hasn't worked. As time passed, I still get mad from time to time whenever I see her outsider with her friends and one time wanted to talk to her mother about it. Now they are moving out, and I was told by my parents (who happend to be wrong) that they were mov

I recently went to a friend's wedding and bought her and her new husband a really nice gift. It has been more than one month since the wedding and I have not received a thank you not. How rude!! I was thinking of calling the bride and saying something to the effect of, "Hey...I thought I'd call you now that things have settled down. How did you and (hubby's name) like the ...??" I'm offended that she has not followed this simple, obligatory rule of etiquette!!

Im going to Japan next month, and I am advised that this is the correct etiquette. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?

I have also heard that you should present your card with both hands.

Your help on how important this is would be appreciated.

Thanks
