“Manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. If you have that awareness, you have good manners, no matter what fork you use.” (Emily Post) Emily grew up in a family that always did things “properly,” No elbows on the table! When she became a writer, proper etiquette became a theme of hers…books, magazine articles and a column appearing daily in 200 newpapers. Even the 3 Stooges referred to her in describing proper manners: Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk! ;-) Jack
FROM FACEBOOK LIZ: i ♥️ her definition.===JACK: Did you ever serve a "fancy" meal which required special table settings?===LIZ: not that i recall. i entertain using all sorts of different dining styles...
FROM OUTHOUSE JUDY: Emily Post...the Miss Manners of the past. I loved to read her “Posts”. I still read Miss Manners in the newspaper!===JACK: No Miss Manners for me. I was too busy with Dear Abby and Ann Landers.
FROM TAMPA SHIRL: Yesterday was VE Day! I remember going downtown Moline and celebrating! Everyone I knew had good manners when growing up===JACK: I remember V-J Day more than V-E Day. V-J Day meant that the WAR was really over...but. as Yogi said, "It ain't over 'til it' over." It seems as though there's always some conflict going on.
