I just avoid the 12 AM and 12 PM thing all together.  I just say, "Let's
meet a few minutes before noon."  In writing, I will talk about "11:55 AM,"
"12:05 PM," or "12 noon."

Now if the rest of the world would be consistent...I had to make a noon
meeting a few days ago, since I'm in a different time zone than others in my
group. I couldn't decide in Outlook whether to choose 12 AM or 12 PM as the
starting time.  Luckily, I got it right :)
