Hello,
I have a reception to attend in a couple of weeks. The couple had a civil union marriage a few months back and are now having the reception. It is 3 hours, at wedding/banquet place, just appetizers and open bar. They are not registered anywhere. They have been together for about 15 years and also living together for about the same. I am at a loss as to what to give as a gift. I am going solo, and am young and it is a coworker, not a very close friend. If you have any ideas, I would really appreciate it. Thanks-MJ

I hate it when people on buses insist on playing their music through their mobile phones, as if everybody else WANTS to listen to their awful R&B (or whatever).

Does this really wind you up too? Other than putting your own earphones on, how do you deal with it?

On the Vicks First Defence advert, where the mother shows up her kid by throwing a tantrum, she doesn't pay for or even pick up the articles thrown on the floor by her brat, also on the BT Broadband advert, when the bratty daughter spills all of her toys on the floor with a snotty look, the girlfriend of the bloke who was Nick on My Family just smiles. The trouble is, nobody nowadays seems to think they're responsible for damage or expense caused by their children (and their dogs as well). Am I alone in thinking that parents should pay for or clear up after their offspring or is this an unfashionable point of view nowadays.

Are you supposed to get up from the dinner table and leave the room every time you have to blow your nose? What about at a restaurant?

I am currently looking for a new job and have many companies that want me to contact them by email. If I am sending an email to the human resources department, what is the best way address whoever will read the email? "To whom it may concern" just doesn't sound right...any suggestions?

I have what I consider to be a very important job interview tomorrow; the sort that you want to make sure goes perfectly.

The interesting thing about this job is that so far, all of the correspondence has transpired online; the position required that you sent your resume via email, and afterwards, I was offered an interview over email as well.

My question is this: Growing up, I was always taught that it was proper to mail a written follow-up letter thanking the interviewer for their time, and to also give you another opportunity to say again how interested you are in the job.

I certainly plan on writing a thank-you letter after the interview tomorrow, but under the circumstances, should I send it out through regular mail, or email it?

I realize that "regular" mail is more etiquette-oriented, but we're living in a society of instant gratification... and this particular company seems to prefer online correspondence.

Any advice or insight?

I joined freecycle a few months back to get rid of my daughter's baby clothes that she had grown out of. Periodically, I get email messages from them where people are looking for someone to give them things like cars or washers and dryers. One even asked for a hot tub- Is it just me, or do people seem to think freecycle is a direct link to Santa Claus?

I'm talking about sweet looking girls, you know, girl next door types, the church going girls. After all, put enough money in front of a woman, and her morals and values go out the window.

The school kids on the bus and tube in the morning feel the need to blare their music out of the phones.
It drives me fu*king mad! Does this bug anyone else, or is it just me getting old?
