We're pretty sure Co-host Ray Miller Still is a millennial. It doesn't do to make too much of a point. Ray is the editor of the Enumclaw Courier Herald which is the only paper of that name in the United States.  This Week we're joined by our Producer, Jason Falls, who is a member Generation X.  Swimming Upstream Host Dorothy Wilhelm is a member of The Silent Generation.  For those who are thinking, "C'mon, she's never been silent a day in her life", that name refers to the fact that members of that generation never protested. They followed the rules.  On today's show, Generation Gap covers Weddings.  We're talking about weddings - are they necessary? We'll look at how each generation has seen them and what we know now that we didn't know earlier. In the 50's, weddings were not generally fairy tale events. Dorothy recalls that her wedding dress cost $50- you couldn't buy a shoelace for that today, but remember at  that time, a semester's college tuition was $80. People made their own finery  - or did without.  Dorothy recut three prom dresses for her bridesmaids.  The high point of the reception was pulling her 12 year old brother out of the bourbon fountain.  We looked for different things in the 50's. But as the decades went by, the weddings became more and more lavish with  unforgettable ball gowns, 25-foot-long train, and perhaps arrival via horse-drawn carriage—inspired a generation of brides to embrace the more-is-more aesthetic of the 1980s for their weddings. “It was part of the Superwoman myth of the 1980s—you could work at home, and you could work in the marketplace; you could be married, but you could also have a career,” says Karen Dunak. “There was this idea that you could be a strong woman and also be a bride like a princess on your wedding day.” Weddings became increasingly opulent, elaborate, and lavish, while remaining a symbol of wealth and status for the bride's parents. “In the ‘80s, ‘90s, and even early aughts, it was all big, big, big," affirms Miss Manners."Very few people were doing the small-wedding thing. So what are we talking about on the show?  Let's take a look at how different our expectations are.  When Dorothy was engaged, nice girls didn't rush the wedding celebration so it  was no problem thinking of things to do after the ceremony.  Today a destination wedding seems a requirement.  The different  generations will have a lot to say about that.

You read that right. In this Miss Manners column, a mother was upset that her friend told her on two separate occasions that her child was treating her daughter poorly at school. “…I was a bit taken aback because when my daughter is at school, her teacher is responsible for her. I do not homeschool, […] The post #374 This mother says TEACHERS are responsible for her child's behavior at school? Huh? appeared first on Heidi Harris Show.

SERIES 2 EPISODE 78: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The democracy will certainly not survive Donald Trump but I am now wondering if it has any chance of surviving Sarah Wallace, Patricia Millett, Cornelia Pillard, and Brad Garcia and if you don't know who they are, they are the latest people on the latest list of supposed liberals and supposed officers of the court who could get us all KILLED. Millett seems to be the most clueless of the three DC Appeals Court dilettantes who first STAYED the gag order issued against Trump in the Election Subversion case and then yesterday conducted the in-person hearing and all but announced that they WILL significantly limit the order because apparently when Trump starts ignoring laws he doesn't like and jailing judges he doesn't like, these idiots somehow think they will be immune because they were so fair to him back there in November 2023. Judge Millett seemed to base her nitwitted reaction to the two hours of oral arguments on the impact of the gag order on…presidential debates. “He has to speak ‘Miss Manners' while everyone else is throwing targets at him? It would be really hard in a debate, when everyone else is going at you full bore. Your attorneys would have to have scripted little things you can say.” Miss Manners. Trump has to speak ‘Miss Manners.' Do you get the same feeling I do that Judge Millette has no earthly clue WHO Dementia J. Trump is? Do you get the OTHER same feeling that I do that it has not occurred to, and will NEVER occur to, Judge Millette that so far there have been THREE presidential debates in the Republican primary and Trump hasn't shown up to any of them and there is no reason to expect he'd have the guts to show up to one in the general election. And THEN there is Judge Sarah Wallace and I'm not sure she didn't even harm the country MORE than Judge “Miss Manners” and Judge “I Would Assume” did. Judge Wallace heard the 14th Amendment disqualification case and at the same time that she ruled quote “that Trump incited an insurrection on January 6, 2021, and therefore ‘engaged' in insurrection within the meaning of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment” she then superseded the Amendment itself in as remarkable an act of judicial cowardice as I've ever seen. “After considering the arguments on both sides,” wrote Judge Wallace, “the Court is persuaded that ‘officers of the United States' did not include the PRESIDENT of the United States. It appears to the Court that for whatever reason the drafters of Section 3 did not intend to include a person who had only taken the Presidential Oath,” unquote. So she ordered him onto the Colorado primary ballot instead of saying “Yeah, I'm thinking they meant to include PRESIDENTS because otherwise having just survived the Civil War they decided to make sure Jefferson Davis and Robert E. Lee and Nathan Bedford Forrest could NOT run for anything EXCEPT President of the United States rather than showing some guts, Judge Wallace folded. The people who could DO something and they actually divide into two categories and two categories ONLY: Judges who are too effete to do anything and judges who are too scared to do anything.

And the newest housing requisite: Built-in Dog Showers? (26:15) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Just a Fox News typo, no doubt: "Osama Biden Laden"; Moms For Liberty's Philly chief is a registered sex offender; Senator Mike Lee launches the worst January 6th gaslighting ever.

Roughly 60 people are now being cared for after deputies learned they were trafficked from across the border and forced to process illegally grown marijuana in Merced. Investigators also found 60 people who had been moved across the border and promised good-paying jobs upon their arrival, along with a good place to stay. Deputies say the people were instead housed in terrible living conditions and a teenager was also said to have been working alongside adults. A scammer pretending to be from the Clovis Police Department targeted a woman from Clovis saying he was the chief of police – but instead used the name of the chief of the Clovis, New Mexico, police department. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is the weekly newspaper column.Wine myths 4-26-2023Wine can be complicated—hardly a dumbfounding revelation. It does explain why there are some false rules about wine. Let's bust some myths.• Champagne is only for weddings, New Year's, and special occasions.While Champagne may be above your pay grade as an everyday drinker, Champagne—and sparkling wine in general—is one of the most versatile wines. It goes with almost every food. It is appropriate before, during, and after a meal. It almost always elevates the tenor of a gathering.And—against conventional wisdom—it can be argued it should not be the choice for weddings and New Year's because those typically are boisterous affairs where the focus is on partying, not deep appreciation of a beverage. Spanish cava or Italian prosecco is more affordable and still delivers inhibition-lifting fun.Save expensive Champagne for intimate special occasions. Your wedding anniversary, landing that new job, or an intimate evening with someone you love.• Holding a wine glass by the bowl heats the wine.Well, yes, but not enough to significantly influence enjoyment depending on how long you hold the glass. When you hold a glass for a significant period of time, the warmth of your hand and the ambient temperature will warm the wine. It is unlikely to ruin the wine. Holding by the bowl does leave oil from your skin on the glass, which negatively impacts visual appreciation.Holding the glass by the stem or foot is a more refined method of securing your goblet, but it is not unforgivably gauche to hold by the bowl. Do whatever you want. Wine exists to be enjoyed. You are not striving to earn a gold star from Miss Manners. You are striving to enjoy wine time with friends.• The more expensive, the better the wine.Sure, the higher the cost the more likely the wine quality. But certainly not always, and the average person may not discern the difference between a good wine and a very good wine. Do the math. Would you rather have a very good wine that costs $120 or four bottles of good wine that cost $30 a bottle. In broad terms, $15-25 can get you a delicious wine and $25-35 may get you a wine a click better.In any event, it is gauche to brag about the cost of the bottle you are pouring.Last round: The police told me they would arrest me if I kept telling bad jokes.

The LGBTQ community has managed to infiltrate the guardians of the etiquette gates and now, manners' columnists and so-called etiquette experts everywhere are actually putting forth the notions that it's polite to pretend boys who want to be girls, and vice versa, can actually do so by changing their pronouns or clothing styles. This is yet one more sign of the cultural degradation that's rotting America from within -- and there's one etiquette expert who's had enough of it and is fighting the LGBTQ deceptions. Kelley Yates, author and internationally known etiquette trainer, chats on how to fight the dangerous LGBTQ lies that are being pushed into society and more than that, why it matters. As manners go, so goes the culture, so goes the political systems, so goes the entire nation.

This is the weekly newspaper column.Wine drinking tips 1-18-2023As life semi-returns to pre-Covid normal, we return to restaurants and order wine. We have folks over for dinner. We pay attention to things besides vaccinations and masks. Observations, tips.• At a fancy restaurant, what do you do when the sommelier presents the cork? Easy: Nothing. The cork presentation is a vestige of a world long past. The cork was examined to ensure the wine in the bottle matched the claim on the label. If you wish to save the cork as a memento of your evening, feel free. Otherwise, let it lay.• You want to set a proper table to impress. You know the basics. Spoons-knives on the right, forks on the left. Where do glasses go? In traditional setting, there are three glasses. Water glass goes on the right above the dinner knife. White wine glass goes further to the right above the soup spoon. The red wine glass goes on the right, centered above the water and white wine glasses. Now you are at your hoity-toity best. By the way, pour good wine and serve a delicious meal and it doesn't really matter where you place utensils and glasses.• Fancy wineglass makers will sell you a specific glass for almost every wine you pour. Do you need them to fully appreciate wine? No. You easily can make do with one all-purpose glass—a large white wine glass works well. If you want more, go with a white wine glass, a large red wine glass, and a sparkling wine glass that is not a narrow flute.• Is there a “correct” way to hold your wine glass? This is not really a Miss Manners issue. It is a best practices suggestion. Hold the wine glass by its stem or its foot rather than cupping the bowl in your hand. When you hold by the bowl, you warm the wine. You also leave fingerprints and oil from your hand on the bowl. Neither of these are good outcomes, but it also is not the end of the world or a klaxon warning of gaucheness if you hold by the bowl. Enjoy the wine any way you wish, but consider the stem or foot hold.Tasting notes• Scheid Family Wines VDR Very Dark Red 2020 is deep, dark wine that showcases two grapes rarely used together as sole grapes in a blend—petite sirah and petit verdot. $24-25 Link to my review• Torre de Oña Finca Martelo Rioja Reserva 2015 is mouth-filling with rich, dark fruits.$33-40.

Melanie Broyles, Miss Manners joins Carol and Tom talking about holiday party behavior. 

I was listening to Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor this morning on the Mike Hosking breakfast as he big-upped our primary industry exports. About how they do reach a new record high of $55 billion in 2023, that they're tracking strongly towards a 4 percent increase in the year ending June 2023, despite the global downturn. Damien O'Connor says there's some comfort knowing that demand for food and fiber should remain strong throughout any economic downturn. So New Zealand's economy remains better positioned when compared to others. Dairy remains our largest export. Our sheep and beef sector remains strong. Horticulture export revenue is expected to grow. Strong demand continues for our processed food, and we expect parable export revenue to grow 5 percent. This is all just wonderful news!  Seafood export revenue is forecast to increase 4 percent, despite taking a substantial hit at the start of the pandemic. According to the Minister, hard work combined with strong demand is seeing a swift and continued recovery and export revenue. Forestry export revenue is set to increase and the result is to be commended. And the relevant minister said the forestry sector should be acknowledged, especially over a tough year and in the face of a global slowdown in construction and corresponding lower demand for our logs. It shows remarkable resilience. So it was just in those final two to three paragraphs, that you had Stuart Nash commend the sector for its resilience. You had David Parker talk about the seafood exporters taking a substantial hit, but their hard work combined with strong demand, is seeing a swift and continued recovery, and then finally, finally, finally you get Damian O'Connor saying “as we head into the festive season, I'd like to acknowledge the more than 360,000 people working in our food and fiber sector and what they've achieved for New Zealand over the past year. Their efforts brighten our future.”   Now call me a churlish old tart, but seriously, where's the thank you? To me, an acknowledgement is simply not enough. If I was running a Miss Manners school for cabinet ministers, I would say in light of the fact that we've got record growth in an industry that has been absolutely slammed by this very Government, acknowledgement wouldn't quite cut it. No minister, see your speech. I see you've acknowledged the 360,000 people. At the Miss Manners School of etiquette for cabinet ministers, I'd say no, we can do better than that. We can say to the 360,000 people working in the food and fiber sector, thank you so very much. We know that you are working in an incredibly difficult environment. We have made it difficult. And we have made enormous demands of you while you go about your business. It has been challenging. It's been tough; at times it's been bloody lonely. And we, the Government, in part have been responsible for that. We have not made things easy for you. Despite this, the quality and reputation of your product, your own hard work, your incredible resilience, has resulted in record export sales and will likely go a very long way to save our sorry behinds this year and next. Thank you all very much.   See, that's what I'd have written as the Agriculture Minister. And I don't think it's over the top. When you have listened to what these people have been through, these men and women, who have basically propped up this country while others squander the money that they earn. I don't think it's unreasonable to say thank you. Acknowledge? You acknowledge something has occurred, that happened, huh? Well you look at that record growth. I thank you. I think is at the very least what our primary producers deserve across the board.  So you know, I've read the speech. There's a little bit of a hard work and resilience from Nash, from Parker. And acknowledgement from Damien O'Connor. What everybody involved in those sectors deserves is a standing ovation and a round of applause. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The LA Weekly called Amy Alkon "Miss Manners With Fangs." Alkon recognized that the manners questions of our age aren't where to put the doily or whether the man should walk on the outside, but what you do when some rudester is shouting on their cell phone next to you at the coffee house. Alkon, the author of a hilarious new book called I SEE RUDE PEOPLE, has come up with innovative and surprisingly effective ways to combat The New Rudeness for both the brave and the meek. Alkon is also known as The Advice Goddess, and is a syndicated love advice columnist in papers across the U.S. and Canada, blogging at advicegoddess.com. She's appeared on numerous TV and radio shows in the US and Canada, including Q and the Steven and Chris show. She hopes you'll join her in her mission to make our daily lives stop feeling like one big wrestling smackdown.******************************************************************To listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewspaper.com ******************************************************************

For over 40 years, syndicated columnist Judith Martin -- better known as Miss Manners -- has been helping people navigate the often confusing Waters of good manners . In her polite but firm way, Martin answers readers questions about what constitutes good manners and good etiquette in today's world.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky.   Bookwaves Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Erik Larson is the author of several best-selling works of narrative non-fiction, including Dead Wake, In the Garden of Beasts and The Devil in the White City. His latest book takes us one year, from May 1940 to May 1941, a time which encompasses not only Winston Churchill's first year as Prime Minister of England, but also the Blitz, the often daily air raids by the Germans on London, Coventry and other cities, which began at the same time and ended almost to the day one year later. We follow the Churchill family's quotidian lives during that time, from watching to bombs to various wartime love affairs and break-ups, along with a look at how both the British and German governments worked during that year. In the interview, Erik Larson discusses his source material, and compares some of what went on then to what's happening today, particularly in terms of heroic and destitute patterns of leadership.   Arts-Waves A ten-minute interview with Gore Vidal, from 1998, in which he discusses his film, theatre and stage work with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A.
