They point with 2 fingers because in some cultures, pointing with an index finger is rude. In other cultures, pointing with one finger is reserved for inanimate objects. So, pointing with 2 fingers eliminates the possibility of offending others. I used to organize the Disney Institute's...

Princess is first rate when it comes to Alaska. They do Alaska better than anyone. As far as switching lines - no. This is an incredibly generous thing for your parents to be doing. Your only role is to express nothing but gratitude for this incredible opportunity. You have no business...

So Mallory Pugh, one of the youngest people on the team and the one who scored the 11th goal, should not have celebrated her first goal ever in a World Cup?

I say hello when I enter a room or office for the first time. At my last job, my boss was horrible at greetings. She would just walk in and not say a word. Our administrative coordinator who was a huge brown-noser picked up on that and stopped saying hello when she came in. The younger...

Pompeii was extraordinary to see. Life is short and the world is wide. There are very few places I don't want to visit. My daughter is going to Israel in 9 days and I am insanely jealous!! Then she comes home and a few weeks later we sail to Cuba. Life is good.

If I were the OP, I would be pissed off, especially since the OP said she declined a beach vacation that weekend in order to host this other person. I would even be inclined at this point to tell the friend why I was upset - that there is a pattern of cancellations, and they put other plans on...

5,234 miles to Santorini

I live in an area with an abundance of amazing restaurants of all kinds. They are packed all week. Delivery would not hurt them at all - there are always people that prefer to dine out. Neither Uber Eats or Door Dash delivers to my zip code, and only 2 restaurants with GrubHub. As someone...

I used to be a docent at the Air and Space Museum in DC. People always used to say to me space exploration was a waste of money, that we shouldn't go into space until we solved (insert world problem here). Usually younger idealistic college students who thought they had all the answers...

Chase's rewards program is excellent. If you can get the Chase Sapphire Reserve, go for it. If not, then try the Chase Sapphire Preferred. I have the Preferred and hope to upgrade to the Reserve eventually. You are going to have to compromise. It's either no AF or a good rewards program...

I'm a TA. If a TA sends you the invoice directly from RCCL, you will see the correct final payment date. That's what I always send people. However, many TAs like to generate their own invoices with their own logos from whatever CRM system they use, so they may manually input a final payment...

POA only lasts as long as the grantor is alive. It basically dies with the grantor. The reason being is because POA is supposed to help manage and protect one's assets. When someone dies, they no longer have assets. At that point, the executor of the estate takes over. I'm going through...

It makes perfect sense. Suppose you were the recipient of an unused ADR at a time when you really needed it, or the recipient of fast passes for your family, it would be completely understandable and reasonable to go online and say "hey, look at what some nice family did for us." You are...

I never said I referred to him as such. I referred to him as Mr. Dwyer, actually. Congressman is not an honorific, but you will see it used in print as Congressman XXX (hence my reference to capitalization).

Actually, it would be congressperson, not Congressperson. You only capitalize when you are referring to a specific person and their title, i.e. Congressman John Doe. And, while a Senator is a member of Congress and technically a congressman/person, you NEVER refer to them as such. I interned...

I took a job once knowing I was pregnant. I didn't tell them until 2-3 months into the position. They were all good with it. The organization kept functioning, work still got done. This was almost 20 years ago.

I had no idea there was a monthly membership. However, I am not sure how I functioned before Prime. If there is a breaking point, I am nowhere near it.

Right now, you are just assuming he lied, and then placing blame for something you don't know to be true (lying about not being able to attend) on his wife. That's not cool.

Here's the deal. You say you will never skip out on your nephew or niece's birthdays. Well, in the scenario above, it's your SIL's niece's birthday. They committed to that. Why should they miss her niece's birthday to attend his niece's birthday? I guess it's because our family doesn't make...
