IF OUR SOLES COULD TALK By Yvonne


Can you imagine if the soles of our shoes had a voice? I can hear them now begging us to avoid that clump of mucus that some dreadful, classless person spat out like nothing 

Not everyone spits out sputum, there are spitters who enjoy disposing their gum on the sidewalk.  Every stepped onto a fresh wad? The kind that literally makes stop you in your tracks? And then it dries up and leaves sidewalks with a sort of unwieldy polka dot pattern.  



Gum Buster to the rescue!  There is an actual machine that gets rid of old gum. The gum’s gone but what remains is a flattened, unwieldy polka dot pattern.  And it’s not pretty either.  Save your gum wrappers, they’ll really come in handy when the flavor’s gone from your gum treat but your civility is still intact.

DID YOU SAY, "THANK YOU" FOR THE FLOWERS?

 
According to one top Upper East Side florist, the answer is often, “No.”  She knows this because it's not uncommon for her to receive a call with a customer on the other end asking, "Were the flowers I ordered delivered? I haven't heard anything." 



This can mean only one thing, or maybe two.  Maybe the party wasn’t home to receive them and had to go away unexpectedly and the sender didn’t know.  Or maybe, they like a good percentage of today's society, are just plain rude or didn't know any better.

“You’d be surprised how often I get those calls,” she said. 

There is nothing more delightful than receiving fresh flowers.  And there is nothing more unfortunate when gratitude isn't expressed.  Frankly, it's rotten.

DO NOT SIT LIKE THIS By Yvonne

It doesn't matter what  party you belong to. Sitting on furniture with your shoes on is not cool - unless it's your own. I don't think she meant to show disrespect,  I think she had no respect for the Oval Office, its guests and her boss.

Kellyanne Conway, too busy to mind her manners.

PLEASE DON'T EAT LIKE THIS By Yvonne

You're not a toddler any longer. Learn how to use a knife and fork properly. Food will taste better and you will look better.
