Starting off Sunday fluff

We've gone to church, watching Meet The Press, took ground beef out of my freezer for meatballs, jotting notes down for the week then planning for the week ahead, clip coupons, and planning to watch the Cleveland Browns/Bengals game later, Ultimate rivals!  Lol! 

How is your Sunday going?

How is hosting a dinner party where one does not require or need to have their guests provide part of the food and drink for the evening ever equal cheap?

<p>You seriously find dinner manners from etiquette book, bord?  Please do share more...  What exactly do they say?  TIA. </p>

Of course, and aren't those manner taught to our children at the dinner table?  You know, napkins in your lap, chew with your mouth closed, say please and thank and so on and so forth....

Calling people names is not indicative of someone with manners.

No, again no block parties.  You can make up things if you want, but it doesn't mean it actually happened or that you have an credibility.  I'm not going to keep discussing a party that I know nothing about.

Sorry to hear that as you insulted an entire area in that post because that is your only experience of that area is your in-laws, whom it seems you don't even visit very often.

<p>Exactly morty.  If manners need to be read and studied I misewell throw in the towel!  Sounds like a poor upringing to me. </p>

I think not teaching manners would be more equal to a poor upbringing.  Is this backwards day and no one told me?

Oh...good to know that you are feeling better after being ill when a friend shared something.

I don't think anyone is impressed with your memory skills...

Why are you making up stories about block parties?
