Distracted Dining: When hosts keep the TV on
2010 January 19
Q: Whenever a certain family invites us over for dinner, they leave the TV on the whole time, which I think is rude. Is it OK to object?
A: When you’re a guest in a person’s home, generally you’re expected to go with the flow. While you find this behavior impolite (and I would, too), it’s clearly a regular habit for your hosts. If you’re good friends, try, “Amy, would you mind if I turned off the TV? I want to hear about your trip without being distracted.” If not, grin and bear it, and next time, have them over.

Is it proper to continue to wear your wedding ring after your spouse has passed away?
Absolutely. Surviving spouses may wear their wedding rings for as long as they wish. It is up to them to decide when they want to remove them, if they decide to begin dating again.
