Go Light On The Sage Advice


Dear SJG,
It's my turn to have Thanksgiving at my palatial retreat. I'm still not over that time, several years ago, when hubby's aunt took a big fat tumble and blamed it on an innocent folding chair. Is it tacky to post a sign at the door that says, "Management Not Responsible for Your Drunken Klutziness"?
Thanks,
Settled Out of Court

Dear Settler,
It would be tacky if you didn't post the sign. As an extra precaution, you should force your guests to sign a waiver before entering. You can never be too careful when allowing relatives to roam freely through your elegantly-appointed home. You never know what sort of trouble these people might get into.
You're welcome,
SJG


Dear SJG,
I'm having not one, but two house guests this Thanksgiving. When is the right time to tell them my rates have gone up? Before, after or during the meal?
Thanks,
Front Desk

Dear Front Desk,
To avoid any awkwardness or Thanksgiving tantrums, just swipe their credit cards when they're not looking, and let them figure it out on their own.
You're Welcome,
SJG
