I've always found it strange that people call the meal times by different names.
For example I always say Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
While others have Breakfast, Dinner and Tea!

Why is that? Whay do you say?

ask your father(or other significant male) for your hand in marriage??

Do you think it's an old tradition that should be forgotten or do you believe more people should go back to doing it that way?

Thoughts and opinions?!?!?!

And it's not like you'll say anything besides "oh, great!" even if your miserable. It's almost rude to say how you are ACTUALLY feeling... I find it pretty odd. Thoughts??

In my invitations I would like to indicate that the dress code is: semi-formal or formal. I really want my invites to dress nicely, it will be held at a Howard Johnson Hotel, it will be a sit down dinner, starting with a welcome cocktail reception. Is it appropiate to indicate the dress code? The other question is re presents, I do not mind presents, however, in the past I have received presents that have been setting in my basement, because is not my style, color or just dont match my decor, to avoid this, I would like to add to my invitation and little card that states the following: "Gifts Certicates are welcome".. and I have listed just a few places that I would like to get stuff from. I do believe that this way my friends and family, will not be spending their time and their money on a present that eventually I would not enjoy. Is this a polite way of indicating I do not want presents, rather gift certificates? What should I do, No stores offers registry like weddings or showers

They don't really serve us or clean up after us. They just take our money and put something in a bag. By that standard we should tip people at 7-11 for ringing us up and putting our things in a bag. It's almost insulting that people want tips for everything these days.

People will not tolerate someone enters into lift with cigarette in hand. But people having more intense smell of perfumes on their dress fill the lift with pollution and never bother about that.

Neither we have standards for cosmetics or ethics and logic for the rules. A masala company will pollute the entire area with mirchi powder. Hotels have no exhaust systems. People burn anything on the roadside in the name of garbage.

Like goats, everybody is behind cigarette. All other pollutants are forgiven

All my life I had the toilet paper dispense from over the top because I thought that was proper. My extremely proper girlfriend insists that the "proper etiquette" is to have the paper dispense from the back. Please settle this.

"very disturbing how you're now searching the internet for pictures of men mounting other men. what other secret photos do you have saved on your hard drive?!? i think the canadian lifestyle has finally worn off on you. how sad. you used to be a red-blooded, hetero american male and now look at you. what a shame, and what an embarassment to the state of texas. i wonder if any real texans would have this image as their myspace profile picture. probably just the closet fags."

This person posted this on my MySpace profile after I had posted a comporomising picture of his favorite football team's QB as my profile picture in making fun of said team. My wife says I reacted a bit by telling him to apologize or our friendhsip is over. Maybe that was a little over the top. But, I think my anger is justified. If this had been said to a man in our father's or grandfather's time, he'd be lucky if he saw the next morning with a broken body part. What do you men think?

Only men answer,

and not confront the person in person. Ok, somebody did something to a girl's car, I was walking down the street and saw a sign on her garbage can. It said "dang big girl, you could've at least waited until I was at my trunk" so I figured some girl did something to this girl's car or trunk or whatever. Now why the hell would a person put up a sign for that and not just confront the person?

I have a dear lady friend who loves to make a special potato soup every time we visit. She makes it because she knows we really love it. WE DON'T. It sucks out loud.

I mean, this soup tastes like flour and water and nothing else. We are polite and tell her it's wonderful and try to make her feel good. Then....she keeps making it.

How do we tell her the truth so she'll stop making this wretched concoction all the time without hurting her feelings????

Is it worse to thrown the apple core out the window and have it biodegrade back into the ground or to bring it home and toss it in the trash?

Did I make a real mistake.
Some background:
The American called me names after making a hash of things himself. Frankly, I can't be bothered and I spoke my mind, because he called me a "disaster" and to me a disater is something like a hurricane, not someone like me who does her best and deliver. He is so uncool, no ?

its a diary entry i wrote from "the necklace" its about a journal entry from the wife of madame loisel, did i do a good job, if u see some errors or ways i could make it better

PLEASE TELL

I have put up with my wife for too long. When I first met her, she was the sweetest and petite you lady I had never seen. But I should have known that, “You can’t judge a book by its cover.” In less than a month her smile turned to a frown and she started complaining. It started from “We eat the same thing everyday” to “Our apartment is so shabby” to “you don’t deserve me” and finally the heartbreaker “I belong to a high class family!” My only escape was my job as a clerk, which I’d work from sunup to sundown to satisfy my selfish wife. At home I tried to be the loving husband, but inside my anger was ready to burst out. Then the day came where I was informed I could get an invitation to a ball. I decided to get my hands on one for my wife, because despite her selfishness she was still my wife, and I was still her husband.
That day I came home, tired and stressed but excited. I was excited because I was holding a golden ticket that might bring the misery in this relationship to an end. But I should have known that even a priceless invitation to a ball wouldn’t please my self-centered wife. As I was explaining to her the things, I had done to obtain this invitation, she interrupted me and told me she would not go! I was utterly speechless! What kind of lady would disown this kind of offer!? Impossible! Suddenly she retorted, “I don’t have a dress, I will not go.” I swear on my only handkerchief that she had any dresses. “The one you wear to the theater is quite fine, I think” I answered as nicely as I could. She walked away and I could see tears from the side of her cheek. She married a clerk, for god’s sake, not the King of England! What did she expect! As I could not bear to see tears, I gave her some of the money to buy a dress. I had saved up this money to go shooting with some friends but that would have to wait. Why I gave her some of the money, I don’t know. I now regret giving the money to her, regret it all. The next problem was that my wife didn’t have jewelry, but thankfully she resolved that problem by borrowing a quite beautiful diamond necklace from one of her friends. The night of the ball came and my wife stood out like a red apple among green apples. She was dazzling and the diamond necklace made everything perfect. I even saw her smile. Things were perfect once again. That night when we got home I heard a scream from my wife’s room. As I ran to her I became very puzzled, “What’s wrong?” I asked. “I don’t have the diamond necklace I borrowed...” she stammered. It can’t be I kept repeating, the necklace looked so expensive, it must be somewhere! But that $360,000 was never found.

I am not sure whether or not to aproach someone about the humiliation I felt, due to what this person did as well as what they said to me in front a group of people. I don't see this person often, but I don't like the way I feel at times in their presents nor can I figure out why they act the way they do toward me. Should I let it go or confront them?

About a year ago I was rude to a blind woman (I KNOW SO HORRIBLE!) she was saying "excuse me" over and over in the street so I went up to help her and she got really angry. So I said "then stop standing there yelling excuse me" and walked away. The guilt is unbearable. What a horrible horrible dispicable thing to do. I've tried to find her but I havent been able to. I just want to apologize so badly. That poor woman. It makes me sick just thinking about it. I don't even know what to do anymore.
Thats all - and it's so so so bad. Oh god I wished I'd just kept my mouth shut! I'm not asking for someone to alieviate my guilt I just need a suggestion as what to do. I think about it all the time.

I knew a guy in school 23 years ago. Spoken to him just 4 times since then when we happen to accidentally bump into each other. He's essentially a total stranger to me. A week ago I get an email from his wife, who I know even less, and she's invited me and my wife to come to a babshower. And, by the way, please visit our gift registry, Paypal accepted. Curious as to their needs, I surf over and see the first item on their wish list is a $400 pair of silver baby spoons. Anyway ... I reply and say we're unable to attend the wedding and wish them all the best, etc. I receive a reply today. They're "so deeply sorry we're unable to attend. Your presence will be truly missed. Even though you can't be here, the best way to share the wonderful journey of life with us would be to visit our registry. Our live-in nurse will have to change a lot of diapers..." Should I fork out for some expensive gift or ignore the money grubber?
