Movie Theater Etiquette – Please Be Quiet And Remove Screaming Children

Kevin Richards — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:11:07 +0000

After reading Jeff Levack's movie review, in his weekly feature 'The Trailer Park,' I decided to go watch the film Oz. Sadly, I chose the same showing as every popcorn chomping, talking, texting, foot scuffling, candy un-wrapping man, woman and screaming child.

Richie Phillips — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 14:46:19 +0000

We ‘ve been fighting all morning about the etiquette of wearing a hat at the dinner table and in other “formal” situations . I say it shows rudeness and a lack of respect. Sean doesn’t totally disagree, he just wants to know WHY it’s so important to have these old customs? I have a headache. [...]

Do you tip at the holidays? I know there are many people who try to take care of the people in their lives who otherwise go unnoticed. Trash collectors, mail persons, babysitters all of these are people we couldn’t do without all year and yet most of us barely even think about them. SO maybe if you [...]

June 14 is Flag Day. It’s the day when we honor to the American flag. Every country has their own flag, and the United States flag has a history dating back to the mid 1700s. Our flag has been used and abused by so many. When another country gets angry with our country, they show [...]

Sean McMaster — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 11:52:02 +0000

Here is the daily dilemma for Thursday, February 2, 2012: “I go to the gym with a few friends once a week to attend a spinning class. My group likes to enjoy a visit to the steam room after the class. And not to fulfill any male fantasies, but they insist on going naked. I always [...]

Richie Phillips — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 17:20:23 +0000

It really is a sign of the times. We watch TV in short segments. Always channel surfing. We ”tweet” in very short sentences, leave very short abbreviated text messages, listen to short sound bytes on the news –and now this… the 5 minute talking rule!!

When is a Complaint Justified?

GNA — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 20:00:01 +0000

Just like many things in America, there is a time for everything. However, there are certain people who take it to a whole different level for the smallest thing. I do believe that when it comes down to the appropriate time, though, a formal complaint is necessary. Just last night I was out to dinner with [...]

Stardom. It can ruin a person. It can fuel a person’s ego to the point that they can’t relate to the common ”Joe” or ”Jane” like you and I. You would think that it work like this: The more success you have, the more aloof you become. Well, from my experience here over the years, I oddly [...]

GNA — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 18:05:20 +0000

A few weeks back, I wrote a blog about cardio machine etiquette and how it is not polite to stare at someone else while they work out. Many of you agreed with my fustration -- some also knew exactly what I had experienced, having experienced it themselves.

I now write to you about something else at the gym -- something that affects not only the guilty party, but the innocent bystanders. Everyone who works out should be aware of gym smells and what they mean.

Cardio Machine Etiquette

GNA — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 16:15:38 +0000

The past two days I have tried to be very disciplined in forcing myself to go to the gym. Afterall, after the snowfall comes Spring; after Spring comes summer -- must prepare. However, of those two gym days, I have gotten on the same cardio machine, by pure coincidence, while the same fellow gym goer jumped on the cardio machine to my right, at the end of the row. How does that happen?

The holiday season is here again – and so is the email invitation to the official office holiday party. While this annual event can be a fun way to socialize with colleagues and maybe blow off a little steam, remember that it’s still your company holiday party – and not a football game tailgate with [...]
