I was raised to believe that respect is expected for those who earn it and social etiquette is a form respect.

These days I think that I am in the minority for these old ideals.

I could not agree more! Isn't the younger generation teaching their kids manners? No 'please' or 'thank you'. it drives me up a wall as well!

Thanks buddy, unfortunately I think that the issue is not limited to young folks.

Hearing someone on their PHONE being verbal abusive! More than not, it's a call dealing with customer service and even tho that can be hellish just remember you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar!

I am too caught up in the idea with "saving" people I care about, even when they don't need/want me to help. Trying to learn to disassociate myself with situations that aren't really any of my business. Harder than it looks.

My first cousin Richie and I share the same birthdate, except my cousin Richie is (or rather, was --- he passed away some years ago now) 10 years older than me. I was born in 1959, Richie was born in 1949.

Richie's parents were my aunt and uncle, my dad"s sister (Margaret) and her husband Karl. They owned a whole mountain over in Idaho. Uncle Karl and his son's, my cousin's. Richie and Nate, and their close pal Jesse, were loggers....they logged the timber on their mountain property. Years ago, Richie, Nate and Jesse formed their own rockabilly band and played in mountain tavern's as a hobby. My cousin Richie was the 3-man band's lead singer and guitarist. Cousin Nate played bass, Jesse on the drums.

Anyway, for as long as I remember, cousin Richie would call our family telephone number, on our birthday, and he'd do his Elvis impersonation. He always had his hair styled and cut just like Elvis Presley, and he'd pretend that he was my admirer and future boyfriend and sing songs by Elvis to me.

Ooooh, those were the days!!!
