Etiquette - February 2007

I'm writing a formal letter, but I don't know the recipient's gender. All I know is their surname. They could be a Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms, or Dr. Is there a polite way to formally address them in a letter without resorting to the impersonal "Dear sir/madam"?

I was backing out of my drive Sat. night and I bumped a truck. It was a friends or employee of the neighbors. They always have cars parked there and everywhere else. It was too late to knock on the door. I stoped and checked his vehicle. I didn't see anything . I returened 5 min later and still nobody came out. I know they were up. People come and go at late hours all the time. He is over there again and parked furthur back. I hope I didn't damage his truck! Should I at least go place a note on his car? This is killing me! On top of it --we just moved in 6 months ago.

I think that there is a place in Schools for an
etiquette class.......children of today need to learn basic manners and stance. A simple excercise of how and when to say please and thankyou, how to address peaple and introduce themselves, how to shake hands when meeting someone, how to sit up straight, walk tall, look someone in the eye and even use cutlery correctly would be a bonus! do you agree?

My baby is comming April, and I am having a small baby shower in mid March with my close friends.

But I also want to have a baby "showing" shower after baby is born, so that we can introduse our new family member to more people (who are not so close but cannot be ignored, such as my hus's co-worker, business related people, neighbors...).

I am thinking about "open house" style baby showing, not a proper dinner nor party. Prepare some refreshments and pass out thank you gift (candy) with baby introduce card/wrap to visitors.

If you are invited this kind of shower, would you show up to say Hi to the baby and the parents?
I want to know if anybody had this kind of casual shower after baby was born.

Any suggestion is appreciated too.

the party is this 3/3/07 and to date no one has called. I'm sending out a note stating the following:
As you know birthday parties need planning.
It is important to RSVP. If you plan on your
Child attending Bridget’s party on Saturday,
March 3, 2007 please call and verify whether
Or not your child is attending. . I have
Voicemail if there is not an answer, please
Leave a message. If there is not a call I will
Assume that your child does not plan on
Attending.
My mother thinks this is being pushy. I feel it is just prudent planning. It's a roller skating party and I need to know how many to expect since I have to pay extra for anyone over the package number. Who's right?

He is not my boss but carries on as if he is. He is rude, bossy, grumpy, negative about everything and everyone, a bigot and I just hate being around him when he is in work.

How do I deal with my feelings? I feel like I'm going to explode and say something to him..........

Yesterday in class before class started I was reading some print-outs that I have put in my binder. Some of my friends came in the classroom and I came to speak to another friend--leaving my binder open. One friend comes to my desk and reads my binder. I notice and say, "Don't do that..." and cover it. I had nothing to hide and it was simply an automatic reaction because I felt sort of 'stripped' (?). But I sort of felt bad because I had reacted that way.

Was I over-reacting? I really, really feel bad about it. Because she is a nice person and I love her as a friend. But was I over reacting?

i've noticed something about you guys, you choose to weigh yourselves down with silly protocols,and proprietary rules, and unwritten rules. why is that? i mean we (the usa) and the aussies don't see the sense of doing that. but the thing i've found so funny is the fact that you guys for all your standards don't even speak good english. what's up with that? please explain this to me.
