We told my brother earlier this summer that we would come to his house for Christmas. He and his wife have been asking us to come for the last two years. It's a long driving trip, though, and we just received a puppy from one of my other brothers for our youngest daughter. What a predicament we have with what to do about taking this puppy with us. http://www.bnd.com/living/isbell/story/551476.html http://www.bnd.com/living/isbell/story/551476.html Sat, 22 Nov 2008 02:15 CST Q. I know this subject will come again at our Thanksgiving Day dinner table and while others are joking around about it, I try to bite my tongue. Here is the question: Is it proper etiquette for my son and son-in-law to each grab a turkey leg and eat it while holding it in their hands rather than using a knife and fork? It is disgusting for me to see and watch and they seem to exaggerate the whole ugly process. http://www.bnd.com/living/isbell/story/545327.html http://www.bnd.com/living/isbell/story/545327.html Mon, 17 Nov 2008 02:13 CST Q. My neighbor two doors down tried to use me as a baby sitter over the summer. She would send her son down to play, without my permission, and he would help himself to whatever he wanted from my garage. No one would bother to check on him and he never said "thank you" when he left.
