Coliforms will be one of the first bacteria present in the water should contamination occur, and they will be in much larger quantities than some pathogenic microbes that may be present. Therefore, coliforms act as indicators of possible contamination.
Should a mother of the bride (or step mother) host a bridal shower for her daughter (step)? On Friday I rec'd an invitation from the Mother of the Bride for a bridal shower she was hosting. I then find out the Step-Mother will be doing the same thing next month...what is the modern protocol for this event? Follow.
Anyone except the mother-to-be is allowed to host the shower. Traditional baby shower etiquette dictates that it should be a friend of the mother, rather than a family member, but this is one of the unwritten rules that have lapsed in recent times.
