Somebody call Emily Post

You may be slick. You may dress really snappy. You may be an orator as of the days of old Rome. But it is like Love, if you have all the above and do not have good manners the other will fall like a house of cards. You would think they would have as they always have had a person directing all on protocol. Well I guess the Obamas just don't need this. They went to Harvard and Princeton you know. It has always been even as far back as Queen Sheba one dignitary brings gifts to the one he/she is... Sign in to see full entry.

DON'T KNOW WHO BUT THEY KNOW HOW

AND ON DAY 43

My three children were vastly different one from the other when it came to handling money. This was a very long time ago but the oldest one then got $5, the middle one $3 and the youngest $1.50. We are talking mid 60s and this was a good allowance then. The youngest was a girl and the boys often talked her out of some or all of her money. The oldest one was in a real tight if he made it to Thursday before all his was gone. The middle one then began to lend to the other two with an interest rate... Sign in to see full entry.
