What Not To Say At A Dinner Party
Unless you are gathered at the table with very close family and friends, there are taboo subjects that should be avoided while dining:
Bragging on and on about your perfect children...No. No. No.
Asking the hostess "Did you make this cake/pie?"...This is a pet peeve of mine.
Asking the host/hostess how much they paid for something...This is just tacky.
Asking for seconds...Lord have mercy, no!
Telling off-color jokes...Definitely taboo!
Talking about your health issues...Don't!
Arguments over religion or politics...This is a real no-no!
Make pleasant conversation and try to keep it positive.

This advice pretty much applies to everything! Even blogging. That's why your's is so popular, always pretty and positive.

I agree and thank you hoe your kind words!
ReplyDeleteThese rules would apply to many situations, not just dining. I was with a family group dining at a very nice restaurant and one fellow took about six biscuits from the basket, proceeded to split and butter all of them and line them up around his plate. Ugh, I was appalled. Today's world definitely could use more manners and civility. Thanks, Miss Janice, for all your lovely posts!
