Considering the current President's profanity caught on tape, and his previous action of making a rude gesture to the camera while a state governor:

How would you explain to your children, (or teenagers), why using such language and gestures makes one look dross, when the Commander in Chief feels that they are appropriate? Does his free use of them mean that American society no longer looks to their leaders to be role models, or does it mean that we no longer consider swearing as crass?

I share an office and desk space with a co-worker. My office buddy is a pack rat. His paperwork covers his desk and is now invading my space. What's a polite way to get him to move his stuff and clean up?

I always call people Maam or Sir. I was taught growing up by my parents to always use these monikers when talking to someone. So I called the bank and was talking to a representative and at the end of the call I said thank you, Maam. She didn't reply. Anyways a friend of mine who works at the bank called me and said "You offended one of the employees by calling her Maam. You don't call someone younger than you "Maam"." Now I have never seen this woman, know how old she is, what she looks like, or whatever. I was being polite. Am I wrong? If I am I'll do my best to change this habit.

Can you get away with having two cats in an apartment, in most cases, without telling management, if you don't have the money for the deposit. Anybody done this? Just curious.

I just don't want anyone to think I'm very foolish. This is a clever idea though, isn't it?

My son is having his 4th Birthday party next month. We are have a wonderful party planned, complete with some small Zoo Animals visiting.
My son's friends (about 8 of them) are going to recieve invitations. Most of these children have older and younger siblings. I do not mind if younger siblings attend (afterall, I also have a small baby that will be in attendance). But I do not wish for the older siblings to attend, meaning those older than 6. I want this to be focused on my son and his friends.
Is there any well-mannered way to tell people not to bring their older children???

This is the second time they have left it in the garage to whine at the top of it's lungs ALL DAY. Granted, it is only one or two days a week, but it is ALL DAY. I can hear it all the way in my house, and I even have the TV turned up to try to drown it out. I know I can't shoot it, although I really really want to at this point. I hate confrontation, because I end up yelling irrational things. How can I gracefully handle this situation?

to call people who are overweight "fat" if they are that way because they are simply lazy and have poor eating habits? I'm sick of people being defensive about it and defending fat people with the "it's the genes" or "it's a medical problem" crap. Their genes don't make them go to McDonalds and get the supersize meal everyday.

I know we all say that it's not okay to make fun of anyone. But think about it for a minute. Some groups it's more "socially acceptable" to make "cute" jokes about than others.

My toddler daughter had a birthday recently and got lots of gifts from various relatives. Some people sent more than one gift. I had to postpone writing the notes because I was busy with other stuff I needed to do. I'm ready to write them now, but I can't recall exactly who sent what, but I still need to write the notes. How can I do this without letting them know I forgot?
