DEAR MISS MANNERS: To prevent party guests from driving impaired, I came up with a fun game using a $21 breathalyzer I bought online. I call it “Have I Had Too Many?” Guests who are at, or even close to, the legal limit get a prize -- a free ride home! Everything was going great until one guest tested at well over twice the legal limit, but then refused the free ride.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: What is your opinion on handkerchiefs? I prefer them to tissues. I have seen brides, at weddings that cost thousands of dollars, crying into wadded-up tissues. If they really find it so disgusting to reuse a soiled handkerchief, they could invest a few dollars in a multi-pack and get a fresh one each time. Also, I believe that it is better for the environment.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: My daughter is turning 9 soon, and we will be having a small party with four of her closest friends. We are hosting the party at the clubhouse facility in our condo complex. There is a fifth girl we know, “Kiara,” who also lives in the complex, with whom my daughter sometimes plays. I consider her mom somewhat of a friend, though we do not spend time together without the kids. Our older sons are friends, as well.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Three years ago, I was diagnosed with cancer. I was extremely fortunate: My tumor was removed and I did not require radiation or chemo. I have my screenings yearly and all has been well. Am I a “cancer survivor”? I never want to take anything away from someone who had a much more difficult battle than I did. I don’t want to use the term incorrectly. GENTLE READER: First of all, Miss Manners would like to say how fortunate it is that you are now well.

DEAR MISS MANNERS: Should a daughter spend Father’s Day with her husband or her father? I haven’t seen my daughter on Father’s Day since she got married 18 years ago. Her husband demands to spend Father’s Day at their beach house 300 miles away, and later, they will want to host me there for a visit. I think this is extremely selfish of him and a slap in the face to me. She has no backbone when it comes to him and his family; she “married up,” or so she thinks.
