Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 22, 2025 is: voluble • VAHL-yuh-bul • adjective Someone may be described as voluble if they are talking a lot in a rapid, energetic way. // Bri knew something was bothering her normally voluble friend when he was reluctant to talk about his day. See the entry > Examples: “The movie is built around an interview with the legendary 91-year-old actor, still vigorous and voluble, with a seize-the-day cornball glow to him. In ‘You Can Call Me Bill,' Shatner sits under the hot lights, with the camera close to his face, talking, talking, and talking—about life, death, acting, fame, love, desolation, and trees.” — Owen Gleiberman, Variety, 16 Mar. 2023 Did you know? In a chapter titled “Conversation,” from her 1922 book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics, and at Home, Emily Post offers her trademark good advice for the loquacious among us: “There is a simple rule, by which if one is a voluble chatterer ... one can at least refrain from being a pest or a bore. And the rule is merely, to stop and think.” Voluble, as is clear in this context, describes someone or something (as in “voluble personality/prose/presence”) characterized by ready or rapid speech. Voluble traces back to the Latin verb volvere, meaning “to set in a circular course” or “to cause to roll.” Another volvere descendant, volume, can also be a help in remembering voluble's meaning, not because someone described as voluble speaks at a loud volume, per se, but because they have volumes to say.

You can read the whole text here: https://dougapple.blogspot.com/ +++++++ I'm Doug Apple...and my heart is on fire. (Luke 24:32) Honor your father and mother…but what if your parents aren't worthy of honor? It's pretty clear in the Bible that we are to honor our parents. It's even in the Ten Commandments. Exodus 20:12 says, “Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” But here is a question I have heard many times. “How can I honor my parents when they are such dishonorable people?” Here's my answer. You don't honor them because they are honorable. You honor them because YOU are honorable. We are called to be people of honor. I like First Thessalonians 4:4 which says possess your vessel in honor. Here's a fun example, and this goes back to 1922, to a book by Emily Post about etiquette in society. She wrote, “If a lady drops her glove, a gentleman should pick it up... offer the glove to her and say: 'I think you dropped this!' The lady replies: 'Thank you.' The gentleman should then lift his hat and turn away." This is telling a man how to behave like a gentleman. One thing a gentleman doesn't do is stop to figure out if the woman has a track record of being lady-like. Her lady-likeness has nothing to do with it. He behaves like a gentleman, not because she is a lady, but because he is a gentleman. We honor people, not because they are honorable, but because WE are honorable. We possess our vessel in honor. In other words, we get ourselves under control in order to live an honorable life, a life of honoring others because we are honorable. First Peter 2:17 says, “Honor all people.” How can we possibly do that when so many people are not worthy of honor? First of all, everyone is worthy of honor or the Bible wouldn't say that. They are worthy of honor as people made in the image of God. They are worthy of honor because Jesus died for them. They are worthy of honor because God loves them. So the question isn't “are they honorable?” The question is, are WE honorable? If we are, then honor flows through us to others. Back to the Ten Commandments. We are told to honor our father and mother. Sure, they were imperfect. Or you may say, “No Doug, my parents actually were perfect…a perfect mess.” The command remains the same, to honor them. And if you can't motivate yourself to honor them, get this into your head. We don't honor them because they are so honorable. We honor them because WE are honorable. May God bless you today. I'm Doug Apple.

We all need a little help to get through life sometimes. From everyday questions to more complex problems, we're asking the experts to lend us a hand. Throughout the series, we'll hear some direct advice for us not-so-direct Minnesotans.Over-apologizing is so common in Minnesota, and in the Midwest generally, that it's a favorite joke for comedians in the region. Maybe you can relate. MPR News producer Gretchen Brown takes a closer look at where this tendency comes from, including the Scandinavian influence on Minnesota culture. Then she turns to an expert with her own lineage of politeness. Lizzie Post, great-great-granddaughter of etiquette writer Emily Post and co-president of the Emily Post institute, shares some advice on when and how to say, “sorry.”

Northern Ireland was a different place when Scotsman Kevan Whitson took the Royal County Down head professional job in 1992. The country was still enmeshed in the Troubles, golf travel hadn't yet boomed, and the club saw 1,500 visitor rounds a year. But Old Tom's layout at this low-key members' club strung along the Irish Sea has always been world-class, and RCD now rightfully claims its place as perhaps the greatest links in the world, as well as a fixture on every golfer's bucket list. Host Tom Coyne sat down with Whitson to walk through the changes he's overseen in his 30 years at the club, the balancing act between providing an elite visitor experience and serving the club's membership, and his memories of hosting everyone from Jack and Arnie to Rory and Rickie. Plus, Whitson offers a few points of advice for anyone gearing up to take on the 2024 Irish Open host venue, and lays out how Royal County Down may just be golf's answer to Emily Post, with every hole teaching players to mind their manners.

Proper Cleaning.Based on a post by Quinn_McMullen, in 7 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.We started walking toward the house. Chrissy took my hand. I held the door when we got to the house, and she led me in. I moved to the sink and started running the water.“Here move over.” She nudged me with her hip.I added some cold to lower the temperature. I squirted some dish detergent on my brush then hers.“You just rub out the paint and keep rinsing a lot. Add detergent as necessary. Rub, rinse, rub, rinse. Not exactly compelling work.”Standing shoulder to shoulder, we worked on cleaning the brushes and somehow, she managed to keep her shirt very wet, her nipples erect on the white fabric. The alarm on her phone in her pocket went off. “Half past, time to clean up to get John.”Chrissy moved over to the laundry basket and peeled off her shirt, exposing her breasts to me. My erection noticeable in my jeans.“You really enjoy tormenting me, don’t you?”She smiled her naughty smile. I stopped the cleaning so I could watch her. She became more seductive with the attention. She kicked off the old sneakers she wore, and then removed her socks. She turned around and wiggled her ass at me. I was getting a personal strip tease. She turned around again, facing me, her eyes locked onto mine. She undid her fly and slowly moved her jeans over her hips. Her delta of Venus appeared, and she allowed the jeans to drop to the floor. She stepped out of them, then turned around, spread her legs slightly, and reached to pick up her clothes; a classic stripper move. The view of Chrissy from behind was sensational. She came over to me and placed her hand on the front of my straining jeans.“I’m sorry I do this to you.”“No, you’re not.”Chrissy smiled impishly, “No, I’m not.”I reached down and wiped my fingers across her vulva. She groaned then kissed me. I placed my fingers into my mouth.She moved to the door and said, “I have to take a shower. Don’t come up.”I finished with the paint brushes and hung them to dry. I thought, Two can play this game.I took off my shoes, moved quietly up the stairs to my bedroom, and stripped. I could hear the shower going. I pulled on my cock to keep it at maximum hardness. The bathroom door was open and I stood just outside. I could see her hands occasionally above the shower curtain. The shower stopped and she stepped out onto the bathmat and was toweling off.I walked in, my erection straight out, “My turn.”She was surprised and then smiled. I stood next to her, then leaned in and turned on the water. She reached out and grabbed the shaft of my cock.I said, “We’re not supposed to be lovers remember?”She gave me a couple of strokes, “You’re right. That’s the rule.”Chrissy dropped to her knees and turned my hips. She kissed the tip of my cock, then proceeded to take me all the way into her mouth. I could feel her swallowing like she said she would.Then suddenly she was off me and on her feet. “See what I can do?”“This is really not fair Chrissy”She disappeared out the door. I climbed in, closed the curtain, and finished stroking myself off. I noticed that I when I came, I was starting to shoot a bit rather than dribble. Maybe my pelvic muscles were strengthening. I quickly washed and rinsed myself off. I turned off the water and opened the curtain. Chrissy was standing there, fully dressed in her original outfit.She said, “Would friends with shower benefits be the same as being lovers?”“I suppose if we controlled ourselves, it wouldn’t be. You’re doing a lousy job of controlling yourself.”That impish smile again. “Kiss me. I gotta go.” I leaned over, she kissed me with an open mouth, her tongue touching mine, and grabbed my cock.She said, “Let me think about it.”Chapter 5.Later, Zoë called and said Friday would be a nice evening for dinner. I asked if there was anything she couldn’t eat and she said she avoided anything spicy; it wasn’t good for her stomach. I called Chrissy for dinner advice and she said that Zoë eats anything, but she ate like a bird. Small portions would be smart.The next day, Friday, I tuned up my bicycle. I was surprised I didn’t get a visit from Chrissy I did laundry, setting up a drawer in the bedroom for her work clothes. I also tidied up around the house, dusted and vacuumed. It wasn’t that I was a neat freak, but I wanted Zoë to see my farmhouse at its best.The dinner plan was a basil, mozzarella chicken dish that I had invented for Roz. I hadn’t made it for at least five years. I was growing fond of Zoë. While a romantic dinner did not fit into the profile of a friend with benefits, I wanted to let her know that I treasured her friendship. For me, making the chicken dish for Zoë felt like a unique gift I could give her. I was unwrapping a piece of my past and presenting it anew.I had fresh zucchini, tomatoes, lettuce greens, green beans, oregano, parsley, and basil from the garden. I also picked a quart of late season raspberries from my bushes. On the way into town, I was inspired to stop by the hardware store and have two extra house keys made. I stopped by the liquor store and selected a nice Napa Valley chardonnay.Zoë was due at six, so I showered and shaved extra close at four. Figuring commando was best, I put on a pair of Dockers and a dress shirt. By quarter to six, I had the dinner all prepared and the table set. I made sure that the portions were small so that she wouldn’t feel bad if she left something on her plate. It was still light outside, but I decided to light the candles anyway. I hoped they would create the kind of atmosphere that I was looking for. I got out my good china and set the dining room table according to Emily Post’s etiquette guidance. Everything was prepared, all I had to do was serve the meal.Zoë appeared at my mudroom door at five to six. She was going to knock, but she saw me coming and smiled. I opened the door and she stepped in.Normally Zoë’s hair was straight, but this evening it had a bit of curl and wave to it. Her dress was a pastel green. It reminded me of a dress from Greek mythology. It came up and fastened behind her neck leaving her shoulders, back, and arms bare. The neckline plunged to a little gold band that encircled her waist. While the dress was daring, it didn’t expose anything. The hem was below her knee, and she wore matching flats.She immediately put her arms around my neck, “Hey.”I put my hands on the small of her bare back, as she went on her tiptoes, closed her eyes, and gently kissed me. She hung her small purse on a coat hook by the door.“Zoë you are simply mesmerizing this evening.”“Thanks. Chrissy helped me get ready.”“Well, thank you for taking the time to be such an enchanting dinner date.”I offered her my arm, “Please come in my dear. I have a very nice dinner prepared.”I escorted her to the dining room.She exclaimed, “Oh, this is so nice!”I held out the chair for her and she sat down.I went into the kitchen and brought out the bottle of wine, then returned for the salad. “What type of dressing would you like, my dear?”“Do you have ranch?”I nodded. I retrieved two bottles of dressing: ranch and creamy Italian. I sat down and poured a little wine in each of our glasses. I wanted us both stone cold sober, but the wine went well with dinner.Zoë was glowing, “This is a beautiful salad, Quinn.”“It’s all from my garden.”“You are quite the gentleman farmer, aren’t you?”“It keeps me out of the bars.”She smiled. We finished our salads without any conversation. I didn’t know if she was being bashful or was just naturally quiet, but she just looked at me and smiled a lot. I cleared away the salad bowls.In the kitchen I plated the chicken, roasted zucchini, and green beans. I remembered small portions for Zoë. I put a little garnish of parsley on the side. I put the plate in front of her from the side as a waiter would do and then set a basket of dinner rolls in the center. I joined her at the table.“Oh Quinn, this looks wonderful.”“It’s my own recipe that I invented for Roz many years ago. I wanted to make you something special.”“Not only a gentleman farmer, but a chef!”“I hope you enjoy it, my dear.”She placed her hand on my arm, “Do you have any idea how sweet this is?”She was smiling intensely as a tear rolled down her cheek.“What the matter?”“Quinn, this is one of the most thoughtful things anyone has done for me. I feel like royalty. You are treating me like a princess.”I put on my fake British accent, “Only the finest for her majesty.”She squeezed my forearm, “Thank you.”“You are most welcome.”Zoë cut a small bite off the chicken and placed it in her mouth. Her eyes went wide.She chewed and swallowed, “Oh Quinn, this is so good.”“I’m glad you like it.”She took a bite of zucchini, “Oh, this is good too. What did you do to it?”“Not a lot. Some quality Spanish olive oil, a sprinkling of crushed fresh basil and oregano. About 20 minutes on each side on the grill. The beans are only steamed with melted butter.”“Well, it is so good.”Trying to keep the conversation going I asked, “So what have you been up to since I saw you last?”“Mostly I have been trying to get used to having a five-year-old in my house. I am definitely not cut out for motherhood. I don’t know how Chrissy or any other mother does it. Jackie goes non-stop and then he crashes. I know, I’m supposed to call him John, but a name is a hard habit to break.”“My grandkids do the same to me.”“How old are they?”“Seven, five, and three. I love them dearly, but they are exhausting.”We had a very nice conversation on how to deal with little kids.Zoë ate most of her meal, then looked a little sheepish, “Quinn, please don’t think I didn’t love this, I’ve just had some intestinal issues recently and I don’t want to press my luck.”“That is quite all right, my dear.”I removed our plates. In the kitchen I placed the raspberries into small bowls with a dollop of freshly whipped cream on top.I placed the bowl in front of her, “Fresh berries and cream for her majesty.”“Oh, I love raspberries.”“I picked these this afternoon.”She took a dainty bite, “Oh, those are so sweet. I didn’t know you had berry bushes.”“Blueberries too, but they’re out of season now.”“Quinn, you are just more and more impressive each moment. Lean over here, I need to kiss you.”I leaned over and she softly pressed her lips to mine. She opened her mouth and I touched her tongue.Zoë leaned back with her eyes closed.She opened them slowly, “That may be the nicest part of this entire dinner.”I took my wine glass, “May I make a toast, my dear?”She picked up her glass and smiled.“Here’s to a stunningly beautiful dinner companion and a treasured friend.”We clinked glasses and took a sip.Zoë said, “If I may.” She looked into my eyes, “Here’s to the kindest, sweetest, and sexiest date a girl could ever have.”We clinked glasses again. I finished my berries and cream first and just looked at Zoë. I could feel a wide grin on my face.She looked at me, “What?”“This makes me very happy. Making you a nice dinner, spending some quality time with you. I can’t remember when the last time I had such a delightful evening.”Zoë blushed and put her hand on my arm again, “You’re the best.”We finished dinner. I put the leftovers in the fridge and left the dishes for later. We went into my living room. I turned on the end table lamps as the daylight was fading. I sat down on the couch. I expected Zoë to sit next to me with her back to the couch. Instead, she hiked up her dress and sat down next to me, but cross-legged facing me. The dress still covered her legs. She took my hand and held it in her lap. She looked serious and I could feel a serious conversation coming on.Zoë began, “Yesterday, I went on a really long hike. I did a lot of thinking.”I opened my mouth to say something, but she placed her finger on my lips. “You’ll get to talk Quinn, but you’ve got to let me say this. If you interrupt me, I’ll lose my train of thought.”I nodded.Zoë took a deep breath. “First, what you said in your toast goes for me too. I absolutely treasure your friendship. You are the sweetest and dearest man I know. I don’t ever want to do anything that will hurt us or hurt you. You are such a dear, sweet man. I just said that.” She laughed at herself, then took another breath. “The other day was magical. I have had sex with three men before you, but I don’t think I would say that I made love to any of them. Wednesday was the first time I made love. It was so special.”I started to say something and she held up a finger, “Wait. There’s more.”She took a deep breath and she seemed to struggle to find the words, “I love you Quinn McMullen more than you will ever know.”My mind started racing. She loves me. I barely know her.Zoë continued, “Even though you probably love me too, I know your heart belongs to Chrissy You can’t deny this. I’ve seen the way you have looked at her ever since she came here. Your conversations look like your hearts are joined through your eyes.”She wiped her eyes, her voice started to break a little, “Quinn, I am so cool with that. When we were talking about being married the other day and you talked about finding the right person, I knew I could never be that person for you. I think Chrissy is that person. Chrissy and I talked about it for hours after Jackie went to bed last night.”She took another deep breath, “Wait there’s more.”Another deep breath and Zoë continued, “I really like Chrissy's idea of a friend with benefits. Neither one of us are in a real relationship, but we can care for one another. I care for you so deeply. I love you so much. At times my heart aches for you. We can give each other pleasure. We can be so good for one another.”She took another deep breath, “Okay, I’m done for now.”“I can go for that.”“That’s all you have to say?” She looked shocked.“First, Zoë, please don’t write yourself off. I don’t want to give you false hope, but before this week I really didn’t know you. I still don’t know much about you. Yes, Chrissy and I have been eye flirting for years. Yes, I do love her so. Here’s the thing. I don’t know if I can be a father again. We talked about it earlier this week. She is a package deal. She comes with baggage called Jackie. Actually, she doesn’t think I could be a step-dad again.”I took her hand, “Zoë, when you told me just now that you loved me, I never knew you cared for me like that. I probably have been too self-centered in my grief to realize it. Please don’t write yourself off. You’re a beautiful, brilliant woman with a heart of gold.”I brought her hand to my lips and kissed it. “After Chrissy put the idea in my head about friends with benefits, I had to go do some research. I think it is a good idea, but it sounds like we need to agree to rules.”“Oh, that’s a good idea.”“Okay, so the first rule should involve dating others.”“We can absolutely date others. Should we have to tell each other about it?”“I red where that’s not such a good idea. Same thing if we have sex with someone else.”“I think we can have sex with others.”“So don’t share when we have sex with someone else?”Zoë thought about it, “No sharing. One of us might get jealous. I went with this one guy, Jared, and he would get very freaked out when I even talked to another guy.”“So no sharing when it comes to dates or sex. I think that should also extend to Chrissy, neither one of us should share with her what goes on between us. What do you think?”“Quinn, she is my best friend. I’m going to have a hard time with that. For right now, I’m going to say ‘no’ to that one. I need to talk to Chrissy”“Okay. Fair enough. One of the things I red is that we might need rules on cuddling or staying the night.”“Why?”“Well one site said, that could lead to a more intimate relationship than we want.”“Quinn.”“Yes, dear.”“I’ve never really done that. Cuddle. For real. I’ve never really spent the night with anyone either. With Jared: it was get me wet, fuck me till he came, and see you tomorrow. Then he was out of there. I never felt like it was love. It was raw sex, raw lust. I don’t think he ever slept in my bed, or I slept in his. Would it be so bad if you held me in your arms, like at the pond? If our bodies were touching while we slept?”I kissed her hand again. “Those are definitely experiences you need to have, certainly before you reach old age. So, cuddling and sleeping with each other is in.”“Yes.”“So, how frequently do we have sex?”“Oh. I hadn’t considered that. I’m hoping that tonight would be one.”“So am I.”She smiled, “Okay, weekends are when you will probably want to go on dates, and there is always a chance that you might bring that person home.”“Could I go on a date with you?”“Oh, I guess so. What’s your class schedule look like?”“Afternoon classes, Monday through Thursday.”“Okay, so how would you feel about Sundays and Thursdays? Is twice a week too much?”I said, “That would be a good starting point. Any other rules?”“You can’t think I’m a slut.”“Zoë, I would never think you are a slut.”Even in the warm glow of the lamps, I could tell she was blushing. “I would like to learn about my body and your body. What makes us respond to different things? I would like to try some things.” She placed her hand on mine. “Quinn, I’m 39 years old. I am afraid I will turn into an old maid, and I will never know what kind of pleasure is out there

Emily Post (c. 1870s - 1960) wrote one of the most popular books on etiquette. A novelist, columnist, and radio personality, Emily's 1922 book Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and At Home was the pivot point that turned her into a superstar. As a teen, Emily was very popular in the elite New York debutante balls, and with her etiquette handbook her influence continued to have authority in the scene and among broader society. For Further Reading: Emily Post's etiquette tome overhauled for 21st century How Emily Post Works Civilized living with ‘Emily Post' The Surprising Lesson About American History Hidden in Emily Post's Classic Etiquette All month, we're talking about Trendsetters: women whose vision, style, and willingness to break barriers changed culture — from what we wear to how we behave.

What do modern manners look like? Manners are simply social behaviors or habits - you can have good ones or you can have bad ones. But it's been 101 years since Emily Post first published her book on manners and etiquette and it only seems as though lately we, as a society, have regressed in our social behaviors.  My guest this week, Lee Cordon, has long felt called to make an impact on this generation and the next, to help people be gracious in all they do, say, and give. Sure, manners include which fork to use when, but it is much more than that. It's a way to show love and respect to our neighbors and ourselves. In our digital age where boundaries can be blurry, Lee offers us encouragement in training our children (at any age) to respond with grace and dignity.  DoSayGive tackles the topics that most traditional manners classes don't, like social media and texting etiquette, how to be a good friend, and how to communicate with ease and consideration. DoSayGive also offers on demand video courses for tween and teen girls and boys (see links below).  Connect with Lee Cordon:  Website:  https://dosaygive.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dosaygive  Instagram:  @dosaygive  Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/dosaygive/  Twitter: @DoSayGive    Links Mentioned:   https://theturquoisetable.com/  A Young Man's Guide to Manners on Do Say Give  use code: HEATHER for 20% off Etiquette Course for Tween/Teen Girls on Do Say Give use code: HEATHER for 20% off  Feeding the Mouth that Bites You: A Complete Guide to Parenting Adolescents and Launching Them Into the World by Kenneth Wilgus, Ph.D. 52 Modern Manners for Today's Teens by Brooke Romney Related Episodes: The Turquoise Table :: Kristin Schell [Ep 37]  Adventures of a Boy Mom :: Monica Swanson [Ep 254] Tea Time for Boys {A Tribute to my Mom Mentors} blog post  Available Now:  Heather's new book, “Right Where You Belong” is now available wherever books are sold.  Featured Sponsors:  Find links to this week's sponsors and unique promo codes at dontmomalone.com/sponsors.
