[Title] => How i kept my sanity during lockdown
[Summary] => For many of my friends, June 1 couldn’t come soon enough. They were at their wits’ end, depressed, claustrophobic, going nuts and feeling a whole gamut of emotions as a result of being locked in for 74 days.

[Title] => Help! I need a bridal registry
[Summary] => My fiance and I will get married in six months and we would like to choose our bridal registry gifts properly. I notice that the flatware of today is different from that of my mother’s time. Can you tell me what flatware I should include in my bridal registry? I would also like to know the different glasses that I should have for our bar and what makes a complete dinnerware setting.

[Title] => Signs to look for in a successful date
[Summary] => Ifeel so dejected. The man of my dreams finally asked me for a date and I thought we had such a good time. I think I did everything right, according to the rules of the game. I read up on all the things that interested him (I did research on him), I did not talk about me, me and me (even if I am quite accomplished and rich), I did not order the most expensive item on the menu and I did not drink more than one glass of wine, and I wore the latest fashion from Mango.

[Title] => Should I go green?
[Summary] => I get so confused with health-obsessed friends telling me to buy only organic produce, and other friends telling me not to as they are not yet proven to be really "organic." I have bought organic vegetables in different organic markets and groceries but frankly speaking, I don’t find any difference in taste compared to the non-organic. 1also try to rationalize that my parents and I have eaten non-organic vegetables all these years and nothing bad has happened to us. My question is, what qualifies as organic? Are there guidelines in the classification of organic produce?

[Title] => Take the Etiquette IQ test
[Summary] => 
I have received countless letters asking about norms of conduct and etiquette, most of which I have answered in past articles. It is always good to refresh one’s memory on etiquette issues, but at the cost of sounding repetitive, I opted to do it as a quiz. This way, you can all test your Etiquette IQ.

[Title] => Chewing your way to weight loss
[Summary] => It takes a ton of food to make me feel full. As a result, I am constantly overeating. I have never been fat in my life as I had an overactive metabolism and furthermore was quite athletic. But lately, I’ve noticed that weight has been creeping up and in fact during my last checkup, my doctor said I am overweight. Is there a drug I can take to keep myself from overeating?

[Title] => Dealing with an Indian giver
[Summary] => A suitor gave me an electronic organizer, quite an expensive one, where I can store data like telephone numbers, addresses, memos, and even send e-mail with the proper attachments. After I used it for two months and downloaded about 50 of my friends’ telephone numbers and addresses, he sent me a text saying that he needed the organizer back and if I could just leave it with one of my maids so that he could pass for it any time of the day. He didn’t even have the decency to call, he had to hide behind a text message. His reason was that he had a buyer.
