Gift etiquetteDear Annie: My daughter recently married for the first time. Her attendants were her three best friends. Their friendship goes back 20 years, and they still regularly get together for a girls’ night out. My daughter attended all of their weddings. For each, she hosted a bridal luncheon. At her rehearsal dinner, my daughter presented them with necklaces and earrings, and her groom gave the groomsmen specially ordered gifts. Can you imagine my shock to find out that none of these bes

Bracing for a breakupDear Annie: I am 17 years old and still in high school. I recently became “Jake’s” girlfriend. We’ve been dating for about a week. I’ve known Jake as a friend for a year, and we hang out with the same group. I never had feelings for him until I learned that he liked me, and even then, my friends kind of pushed me into the relationship. His last relationship didn’t last long, partly because he and the girl had sex right away. When Jake and I started dating, I told him I am a

[예제 216] (1) Processes that systematize product development and launch, including the need for accurate knowledge about customers and market, are all to the good, of course. What such processes cannot do, however, is eliminate the human beings involved and their passions. (2) People fall in love with their own products and services, or with the underlying technologies, all the time. When they do, their passion forms the lens through which the customer is seen, creating a distorting filter betwee

Date rape guiltDear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 30 years. Before we met, I coerced a woman into having sex. I did not use physical force, but she did not give consent. By today’s standards, this was, I think, a clear case of date rape.I have never told anyone about this, and there is little chance that we will ever encounter this woman. So my wife will never find out. Do I owe it to her to tell her? I believe that to do so could cause serious harm to our marriage. ― Anonymous and

Green-eyed monsterDear Annie: Many years ago, “Hazel” sat next to me in high school and apparently had a crush on me. (I had no clue.) She married someone else, and her husband passed away 20 years ago. Four years later, she met “Larry,” who is married and says he can’t divorce because of his religion. He tells Hazel he loves her and often drops by with gifts. She told him she loves him, but just as a friend. She thinks he is wonderful but says there is nothing physical between them.My wife died

She finally secured one after 50 failed attempts to even get her resume through the first stage of the job interview. Her efforts included months of listening to special Internet classes and crammed studies for Chinese upon tips that some companies offer merits for multilingual skills. “As more companies opt to hire experienced workers, the doors for newbies seem to get narrower and more crowded
