accidents happen
Q: In our Christmas an elegant old man went to his glass of red wine on the coffee table and something terrible has happened. The glass of red wine fell and splashed our new beige carpet Stark. As distinguished gentleman he is, he offered the carpet to pay purified. He told her to send the bill to me or the quantity E - mail and send us a check. The cost of cleaning is a few hundred dollars. The customer has for years been living in retirement on a fixed income and want to know on the label in the treatment of refund? It will not believe how much was clean our carpet red wine stains. JG, Wilton, CT.
A. First, the service of red wine for people is stationed in a new beige carpet is a risky business. Although red wine had splashed in ten bright carpet. He took the risk, know the consequences. Engagement. Send say that the cost of cleaning carpets, half what you paid for the, for pensioners points. Or let it slide. If you do, I'll send the bill or ask you to pay a cent. If, as you say, a gentleman is, you will be sent a small check or a glorious flowers prosecution in exchange for his forgiveness.
Do - New Year?
Question: What do you do - if someone in a conversation at a party, which invited her to dinner to get you and your friend and her husband on New Year's Eve, but there was no follow-up? I said, yes, yes, but now I realize, tried what his friends were available to find out. When Eve Dinner - Party planning their new year I felt the water to see who you could bring an interesting night help. I know. It's - it's my job, often to ask what time should - happen to us and what you can - take us? Or we can make other plans? Annie, Brooklyn
A. With a backup plan. It is the job of the panel with an email or phone call tracking to say, arrive as late. This is the opening to thank them for the invitation and ask what you can contribute. If you contribute not assign something like a bottle of champagne, a six-pack of beer, a plate of cheese and crackers, or dessert, offer a range of options to entertain.
Tips for the best toast
Q. In a nutshell, I need some advice to give a toast. As a guest at the dinner the night before the holiday of the New Year, how can I do to give a toast? TB, Charleston, South Carolina
A. Six Top Tips for grilling Label:
- Before the time you practice what he means. Even if it is as simple as "Let us all increase our glasses to our hosts Marjorie and William" practice what you say before. He never read a toast.
- The host is usually the toast of welcome. If he or she has not made a toast for dessert, any client start grilling praise hosts such a delicious dinner.
- Seize the opportunity. If more than four people at the table, with the beverage are in the hands and the arms towards the center of the table stretch to ask your guests to raise their glasses and their hosts Marjorie William to toast, gorgeous Eva new year.
- Clinking glasses not usually happens when there are more than six people at the table, because the logistics clink of glass not without going to the table, allowing around the world.
- Toast to make all on the host (s) and not even you can say. "It is an honor to offer our customers ...." The exception would be if you do not know most of the guests should only say: "As an older brother William George, I would like to thank William and Marjorie for me to stay in the new year with and gives me the opportunity to meet you all."
- The best toasts are short and to the point, and no more than two minutes. You should never be maudlin, even though it was a recent death in the family. Find to smile the right toast each guest. You are not the person Asado Grill. Needless to say, that bring your hosts with stories about the wild and mischievous manner embarrassed, it was in his youth or his former mistress.
Some quick single toast:
- The best this year, the worst the next.
- If the best year for you, and all you can thrive.
- Vending Machine Party, our friend and host. Your generous heart, like fine wine grow softer with age.
- Not covered The ceiling above us, and we may fall, the friends gathered below. -a old adage Irish
- For the sun the vine, wine juice, warmed the host, broke the bottle, and made it you and me.
Last - Minute - Gifts for Children
Q. Since the aunt and uncle not to spend Christmas with his family invited who do not have the four young nieces and nephews give children. Can - you help us with suggestions, please? AG, Boston
A. When in doubt, give books. Books are the best gifts because you know the child's age, it is easy to find age-appropriate books for each child. Leave a bill parents for books that the child the book for another, if the loan can exchange. new books by hand has on Christmas day, will give you the opportunity to read their new books for younger children. Secondly, send an email to the parents of the recommendations and suggestions - for example, a log for a young child, a book chapter for a child opening learn to read a book for young adults, etc.
