MissConduct - Sure, you're not saying who is blessing them. Or you could say "gesundheit." Have you been seeing the book ads?

I am wondering if there is new etiquette/protocol for baby showers or maybe I'm just a bit old-fashioned. I could even be out of touch...who knows!! I received a baby shower invite for my cousin's 2nd baby. A shower was held for her first baby 2 1/2 years ago and now she's pregnant with her second baby from a second guy (not married to the first or this one - which I guess isn't relevant). The invite stated the shower was being given by 3 friends "with the help of (the paternal grandmother). Here's question #1: Is it appropriate to rsvp to the mother or father of the baby. Question #2: Is it now appropriate on the invitation to state that (in addition to your gift), attending guests bring a box of diapers or baby wipes AND the gift receipt for your gift.

MissConduct - 1. RSVPs can be collected by whoever is free to do it. 2. That level of specificity is a bit over the top. You can go along with it or not, of course; these things are always to be regarded as suggestions only.

My boss was recently terminated but I want to maintain a relationship with them - what is the best way for me to address them? Should I email or call? And what should I say?

MissConduct - Use whatever mode of communication you normally do, offer your condolences, and ask to keep in touch. If you're on LinkedIn or another career networking site, ask if you can connect through that. I'm sure your boss will be glad to keep in touch. You never know where a good lead might come from.
