Yeah, I'm a big fan of the show too though I missed the 1st part of the show last night. I had plans and thought I get back home in time to see it at 8:00 and forgot to set the VCR too. Even though this is the WL MB if you guys don't mind me asking, what happened in the show before 8:15?

Back to the original topic, I was brought up to help with clean-up and dishes after the meal when you're invited at a friends, aquaintance or family.

My family was so adamant about cleaning up after a holiday meal like at Christmas. We weren't allowed to open presents or anything until after the dishes were finished. The guys were free to sit in the livingroom and visit. Which I thought was so unfair.

Anyway I just feel when I'm invited over for dinner at someone's house, it's nice to help out with the clean-up because the hostess worked so hard in preparing the meal. When I have had friends over, I didn't mind the little help but there really wasn't too much to do since I have a dishwasher.
