A Helpful reminder from aol.com

Today as I was reading through the top news stories of the day I came across a wonderful little article about do's and dont's at the thanksgiving table. As far as I am concerned... this applies everytime you eat outside of the rock you live under.....

the link is... http://living.aol.com/holidays/top-11-dinner-table-fouls

Just in case you are too lazy... or you dont want to leave my wonderful blog here is the list.

11. Lick your fingers and smack your lips while exclaiming "that was finger-lickin' good!"

10. Loudly announce “I’m stuffed” or “I shouldn’t have eaten all of that” while rubbing your belly and unbuttoning your pants.

9. Blow your nose into your napkin or cough without covering your mouth...especially while passing the potatoes.

8. Leave food on your fork then wildly wave it around as you talk.

7. Before eating, cut up your entire plate of food into tiny bite-sized pieces.

6. Pile as much turkey, mashed potatoes, peas and stuffing on your fork as you can, then stuff the entire thing in your mouth.

5. Rock back in your chair so just the rear legs are touching. Grab onto your neighbor every time you start to lose your balance.

4. Tuck your napkin into your collar, belt, or between the buttons of your shirt.

3. Pick all the food out of your teeth with a toothpick, your fingernail, a dinner knife or your tongue. Better yet, take out your findings to examine them.

2. Use your knife or fork to dig out any food or dirt lodged under your fingernails. Leave your "treasure" on the side of the plate.

1. Participate in the conversation despite a mouth full of food or drink.


If only they knew how often I see this stuff happen.... le sigh
