Not a pro just yet - 3/4/2007
Dear Miss Manners: I work in a very professional environment, so it caught me completely off guard today when a new co-worker asked if I had a stick of lip balm. I replied, "Yes, why do you ask?" thinking that would give the hint. |

Invitations by e-mail criticized - 2/27/2007
Dear Miss Manners: I received an invitation to a friend's cocktail party through a Web site "e-vite." I was sent an e-mail, which contained a link to a Web site, which displayed the details of the party, the guest list and each guest's response along with any comments they chose to post for all to see! |

Misguided kindness - 2/27/2007
Dear Miss Manners: My mother recently passed away after an extended illness. A friend of mine, knowing my mother's situation, sent me a poem about a pet's death, envisioning the pet running in beautiful pastures, wagging its tail, jumping and playing. |

Take the path of civility - 2/25/2007
Dear Miss Manners: It is now three months since my ex-boyfriend told me that he wanted to be alone. We had been friends for eight months before he made the official move of kissing me to signify that he wanted to date. |

Please respond - 2/25/2007
Dear Miss Manners: What does R.S.V.P. stand for? Gentle Reader: "Respondez, s'il vous plais," which is "Respond, please" in French. It does not stand for Recreational Spontaneity is Very Pleasant, as many people seem to think.
