Did you ever wish that some people you knew had to take a class in what was appropriate conversation and what was not?

For example, today at the cafeteria, a substitute aide started a conversation with me by saying, "I thought I had a hemorrhoid but..."

Now I knew this wasn't going to be headed in a place I wanted to go but was at a loss as to how to stop it.

Therefore, I have taken it upon myself to offer some etiquette tips.

What not to say...

• unless asked, all medical procedures should not be discussed.
• Never, under any circumstances, should you start a sentence with "I thought I had a hemorrhoid but..."
• your sex life is of no interest to me.
• please refrain from telling me who your ex is currently "banging".
• and, as always, discussing politics can lead to the loss of friends.

What you CAN say...

• Are we really going to get 2 feet of snow this weekend?
• Did you try the tangerine chicken? What did you think?
• That new episode of LOST was mind blowing. Did you watch it?
• When will GLEE's second season start?
• Seen anything weird at Walmart lately?

Can you see the difference?

If you know anyone who could benefit from this post, lead the way.

Are you watching Glee? Are you as obsessed with this show as I am? I know it is cheesy and the actors hardly look like high school students, but I can't get enough of Glee.

Here's why:

~ Finn is so cute.

~Glee club director, Will, is even cuter.

~The music is awesome.

~Jane Lynch is the funniest, most under-rated actress currently working in Hollywood. I loved her on 2 1/2 men and in the movie 40 year old virgin. She is hilarious as the cheer leading coach on Glee.

~Very seldom does someone die. I'm so tired of dramas/comedies that feel the need to randomly kill off people. What ever happened to happy endings????

I LOVE GLEE!
