you know everyday something goes on around you - at home, at work, when you are travelling, on holidays.. .

are people concerned about you today?

is there a way when things happen and you are not sure what to do that others who have been in a similar situation be able to help you?

AK: I know you are passionate about some things in life. I have seen it in some of your threads here. A channelling of your passion toward being a real souce of help to those in need would make you a true assett.
Thank you Jeff. That's a very sweet thing to say...I appreciate it.
Am I doing the wrong channelling?
I just get sooooooo angry at times I can't control myself. I am sorry but sometimes I am fed up of people walking all over me.
e.g. Like the question I asked above about waiting on the guy while he finishes his game got me so mad I told him off. I was just doing my job ...very important. He is supposed to do his job not play game at that point in time and think that it could wait. Anyway he went on his errand. I don't mind him playing the game but not when I need to go back to what I was doing.

have yall heard really good jokes or recv'd 'em in email, but can't remember where they are now?

thought i'd start a "joke thread" to provide a good place to look for 'em in the future.

also, something that everyone can refer to when in need of something to brighten the day, eh?.

Frannie banana: Is that you in the picture?
Did you have that done professionally e.g with quickstar?
Here is my joke:

What would you do if you are in a position at work where you have to get something done and the person who has to do that job is playing a game on the computer and have you standing there because he said wait?

on thursday night, joe nichols played at the state fair here.

after the concert he came into the beer tent with his band members and security guards to drink.

i got to meet him and he autographed my bra!
hibiscusfire

I don't think that is cool. Couldn't you find something more appropriate to get an autograph?
Geeez so how did he see your daughter's nipple ring?
What did your boyfriend think?

how would you handle situations?.

sometimes people know the right thing to do but yet do otherwise.

what would you really do in certain cases even if you know or don't know the acceptable thing?.

gently feral:
Ask her to speak more softly, because it embarrasses you to be eavesdropping on other people's business, and someone else might take advantage of her that way.
Always express concern for the other person's self-interest if you can.
Though this may be true...perhaps the person can't hear herself speak as well but the people who speak on cell phones usually don't concentrate on what they are doing of what they are supposed to do....especially while travelling.
Yes someone else could take advantage of the situation too. I think it is good to remind people when they do that but not everyone would take it a nice way.

Ballistic:
At a formal dinner it is wrong to take a phone to the table and especially bad to place one on the table.
It is perfectly acceptable at a business lunch, but you should still apologise before answering.
Thank you
You are correct. At a formal dinner the phone would be in my purse not on the table.
I don't like business lunches...but it would be in my bag.

finally free:
I don't say anything. I just fantasise about putting a large object in her mouth to shut her up.
You have to be joking!

When you are not eating, where do you keep your hands?

	On your lap or resting on the table. (Ideal)
	In your pockets.(would people wonder if you're scratching?)
	Keep 'em busy. Drum a little tune with your fingers.(Then annoy?)

Usually on my phone.

5. During the meal you need to visit the restroom. What do you do?

Announce to everyone, "I've gotta go to the toilet."
Say, "Excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back."
Say nothing -- just leave.
Sit quietly and suffer until the meal is over.
If I'm with my immediate family or my sweetheart I'd say "I've gotta go to the toilet."
If I'm with others I'd say "I'll be right back."
Long ago I'd Sit quietly and suffer until the meal is over.
Ofcourse "Excuse me for a moment, I'll be right back." is ideal.

Elbows on the table, double dipping, and trips to the restroom -- how is your family doing when it comes to the social graces at the dinner table? The answers to the questions (just five), may tell and we'll tally the score.

When is it acceptable to put your elbows on the table?

	Only between courses.
	While you are eating.
	Never.

When I'm eating at home I like to prop up my legs on the chair.

When I'm at the restaurant I try to keep my elbows off the table but I put them on the table when I'm not eating (when I remember)

The ideal answer is ONLY BETWEEN COURSES
