MUSINGS                                                I was just having a discussion about why people don't return social obligations.  How times do you take friends to dinner before they think to ask you out in return?  Do you keep inviting them?  This lead to the conclusion that they just don't know any better; they were never taught manners.
     The conversation continued with a look at why people don't RSVP a mailed invitation. "Répondez s'il vous plaît", which is a French term that means "please respond", is added to invitations for a reason.   It is very frustrating to create a wonderful party and not know how many people will show up.  This is an especially special nuisance when you are paying a caterer for each meal.  I think it is common courtesy to let your hostess know if you will be able to attend. 
That brings us to "what is common courtesy"?
     Emily Post was America's foremost authority on manners and graciousness in both your personal life and business. Her contention is that if you abide by the
Golden Rule you will enjoy a more comfortable and successful life. That means responding to invitations when asked and considering the value of the friendship when playing the "who owes what" game.
     These practices also apply to your business life.  Return calls promptly, do what you say you will, remember thank you notes and generally treat you associates as well as you do your friends. Your life will become a more positive place; a place where it is fun to hang out and has plenty of rewards to offer.

Your Money-Fraud Alert
 
     It can happen to anyone.  I just got one of those emails that is "phishing" for information.  It looked like it really came from my bank and when I clicked on the link it took me to a page that looked like the home page for my bank.  Whooa! Never, never, never, click on the link from a mysterious email, or any other account, even if it looks real, unless you have contacted the account yourself. These perpitrators are trying to steal you identity.
     Immediately go directly to the account in question to check on your status.  Type in the address that you have on file; DO NOT use the link in the email; this tells the bad guys that you are vulnerable. 
     While you are in your account contact the fraud division.  They may want you to forward the email to them.  Banks and other companies take this kind of fraud very seriously.  They work closely with law enforcement to find the bad people who are causing so many problems for people; especially those who aren't aware of this type of fraud. This kind of identity theft can cause you years of hassles, lost credibility and huge amounts of money to repair.
     It is a shame that we can't trust our fellow man, but unfortunately there are too many of these frauds happening to not be aware so you can protecxt yorself.
