Please

1 day ago by lowdown

Please. Thank you. You’re welcome. These words are a few simple examples of manners and in my opinion, they are incredibly important words. I’m sure you’ve all heard and used them but I fear they may be lost in the near future if not already to some degree. It seems that too often, you hold [...] ( ...

It appeared in the book, The Prayers of Peter Marshall, under the title "To change th spiritual Climate of the World". Paul reminds us, "If possible, so ...

I Am Special I am special I’m unique I’m one of a kind And not a geek I’m a first edition There’s no one like me I’m just the way I’m su ...

"You know what you did. Now get in the corner!" I use that picture often, but it's only because I love it so much. The video below is actually relevant today. Rude People In Zul'Aman on Sunday, we had a hunter in the group who was a 'go guy'. It seems now that he was urging us to get a speed run for ...

A Dying Practice: Please Read This Post. Thank You.

4 days ago by franksheepfoot

When I was a small child, my mother, greatly urged, I’m sure, by my father’s mother, made quite sure that I had manners. Sure, my four-year-old brain may have interpreted “Only speak when spoken to” a bit too literally, perhaps, as I was a very quiet child. My dad’s side of the family is notorious f ...

Manners Make the World Go ’round Smoothly

5 days ago by PattiAnn

I am easily embarrassed – not just for myself but for people around me. I find it almost impossible to watch a program in which I know that the protagonist is going to say or do something that should make him cringe. I say “should make him cringe” because it seems that these days we’ve forgotten the ...

Mom weighs in on men's table manners - "It's a man thing"

5 days ago by SavvyD

I told my mom about my concern that here is this otherwise great professional man I am going out with who eats like a pig. And then she said, "It's a man thing." Huh? Oh? Just a man thing? Yes, it's just a man thing. "But I know some men who are really good abut this." "Yes, but your grandmother alw ...
