I'm convinced the couple living across the road from us are swingers, they have streams of people coming in and out of their house and people are always asking where number 74 is so they obviously don't know them. and their curtains are always drawn.
anyway, should I be offended that they've never asked us to join in? are we too ugly?

My husband and I have hosted two annual parties for several years now. A New Years Eve party and a Superbowl party. I have noticed that, despite the request, our friends and family do not RSVP anymore. It really makes it hard when planning food and beverage requirements. Some people don't respond and show up and some people say they are coming and don't show.
What are some reasons that some of you do not RSVP?

My girlfriend asked me to go to her parents 35th anniversary dinner. My question is since she invited me do I need to offer to pay for any of the bill? I am not sure if it would be offensive if I did or offensive if I did not.
I think because she invited me it would be in her court. I am not sure though since I pay everytime we go out.

I have noticed that I have been just saying 'Morning!' in a relatively chipper way to the tenants of the building I work at the front desk of.

Would this appear rude? That is, me not saying 'Good Morning!' as though I was imparting a blessing for them to actually have a 'Good Morning' versus just a confirmation of 'well, this here is Morning! so be it!'

Words of thought?

I just started a new job. Everyone is nice and polite to me. There is this one woman, whom is the same age as me. Who sits very close to me (so its very obvious), and fails to acknowledge my presence at all. Being that we are similar in age I have attempted to start a conversation with her, but it is like speaking to a wall. She says good morning to everyone, but me. She is outgoing with everyone, but me. She overtly ignores me. How should I deal with this? I’m a very nice person, I don’t feel right ignoring her in return, but at the same time I don’t want to waste my time dealing with her rudeness and aloofness towards me. How should I deal?

My new wireless enabled lap top can pick up other peoples networks in my appartment block.

I know it is possible to connect to these thus removing my need to buy a router and a broadband connection.

I do not think it is illegal to do this but is it morally OK?

It won't cost the network owner anything so what is the etiquette around these situations?

So being in college has affected my diet quite a bit (Pizza, Nachos, Sodas, etc.). However, I have been slowly adding some fiber back into my diet (I have had a history of hemorrhoids).

Morning I eat something like Cheerios or a bran bar. I make sure to drink lots of water or juice (for the vitamin boost). Lunch I tend to have a salad (with water). Snack time I chow down an apple, or if I have a taste for salty things, any salty snack with some fiber. I'll be honest and say dinner time is where I begin to screw up, I eat meats, quesadillas, pizza, etc. (not all at once), but if I'm eating say a sandwich, I add tomatoes and such.

Anyway so the point is:

1). How long does fiber/water take to I guess soften my stool? I'm sure it's not instantenous.

2). Dumb question, but if I have say like salad (with tomatos, kidney beans, peas, etc.) and then have something like a chicken quesadilla, will my fiber benifits be nullified?

When you're newly acquainted with a Japanese person in a professional, mentor/apprentice context, is it normal for the Japanese person (the mentor) address you (the apprentice) formally, such as Mr. Jones (instead of just Joe, for example) until you (the apprentice) offer them the opportunity to address you casually, just as Joe instead of Mr. Jones?

I have a new job and will be starting on Thurs. We have discussed all the benefits/salary info but I haven't signed a contract yet. Is it normal to go over the contract during the first day of work? I've been looking online and it seems that most people sign their contract before their first day of work. And if it doesn't come up, should I request that I be given a copy of the contract before I start anything?

Any advice/tips about what I need to do/say during the first day of work? I'm a new graduate and this is my first job so I have absolutely no idea about what I'm supposed to do.
