A b marital dispute by saying that wife and Hus band Are equally Correct or looked at More sourly equally incorrect she is afraid that people will suspect her of valuing Harmony Over principle. Then she has to go and sneak herself some Pic and ice Cream to lift her spirits. A she eats this treat with a dessert spoon in her right hand and a dessert Fork in her left hand. That is the Correct Way to eat most desserts. Coincidentally in the Case of inc Cream and Pic it actually also makes sense As the Fork Edge cuts the pie and the spoon bowl holds the inc Cream. As any melting ice Cream drips into the Pic itself of Yuma plate rather than a bowl is used. But miss manners supposes that if you serve Mode a a Pic rather than pie a la Mode the ease could be made for using a bowl. Dear miss manners i suppose i should just Slop opening typed envelopes without a return address. Perhaps then i would not have to endure Chain letters. For the past year i have been battling cancer and unpleasant Side effects from the treatment. During that time i would estimate that i have received 1 1 Chain letters. In a sure that the people who sent letters promising Good Fortune to those who copied them and mailed them on to other unfortunates had Only my Best interest at heart. But frankly even if i had the Energy to run around mailing the required number of copies i would never Pul such a Burden on an unsuspecting Friend. Perhaps the people sending them Arentt terribly fond of me. Clearly they Are not proud of their participation or they would include their return address or a Friendly note. I would love to know your opinion of Chain letters and of How they should be handled. Gun Lac Reader Chain letters should be handled As Little As possible. A Quick gesture made As soon As one recognizes the nature of the communication is All that is required to convey them from desk to waste Basket. But miss manners is grateful for your reminder that these letters can be hurtful As Well As silly.

Grow up America. Its the great american pig out. On thursday we gave thanks for a Day set aside by dieters All Over the waving Fields of Grain to Gorge without guilt. Say hallelujah. No powdered drinks no Little pouches no water pills no Frozen entrees under 30 calories that taste like gum stuck on the Bottom of a shoe. Just real food. After gorging through thanksgiving now we sink our Teeth into the Holiday season. You can eat Over the sink under the sink scrape bowls with your fingers eat Between meals Load dip onto crackers that collapse under the weight rip the fatty skin off the Bottom of the roaster and eat it or have a dressing Sandwich at Midnight. Say hallelujah. You can Sample three kinds of pies and say a a in a just then you re allowed to Load up your plate with More mashed potatoes and Gravy to a get the Sweet taste out of my i done to want to be around people this Holiday season who put a piece of pumpkin pie in my face and add a the Topping Isnit real whipped Why not spare me the woman who serves a plate of naked vegetables with Yogurt on the Side. There is no place this season for disciples of bran and Oats to spread their message of nutrition. I done to want to hear that kind of talk on a religious Holiday. If god had meant for us to fast on thanksgiving and Christmas he would never have created 30-Pound turkeys. In a show of respect for this time gyms arc closed support group meetings Are cancelled and exercise bicycles stairmaster and nordic tracks Are draped and out of sight if we did no to have the Holiday season someone would have to invent it. People can live just so Long on a sugarless Sal less butter less diet and then they turn mean. That a Why the holidays Are so important families sit around in their elastic waistbands and Are kind to one another. The tension and irritability of abstinence from Between meal snacking gives Way to love and caring.
