To answer your question…The Boy once thought about following in my footsteps, but opted against it.

Saying excuse me is acknowledging they were at your mercy to get somewhere.<BR/>Is that frigging dinked or what?!<BR/>I have to admit when someone does say thank you (rare) I sometimes say "no problem" or "it was nothing". I guess we can all use some manners lol.<BR/>You never answered my question, is The Boy thinking about The Guard as a career option? If not, what direction is he heading? Mine are looking at prison as an option lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15376020.post-1166555566608294532006-12-19T13:12:00.000-06:002006-12-19T13:12:00.000-06:00I show parts of the mini-series Shogun to my world...I show parts of the mini-series Shogun to my world history classes.

I'm thinking of how when I walk to lunch and 3 or 4 people heading my way take up the entire hall. Where the heck do they think I can go? I can't just disappear but not one of them will fall back and let me by, I just have to shrink up against a wall as they barrell by.Ivy the Gooberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10982311097229458478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15376020.post-1166487036058335932006-12-18T18:10:00.000-06:002006-12-18T18:10:00.000-06:00Ditto what rlb said!

In the good ol US of A people act like those words are terrifying to say. It's almost like showing a vampire a cross. I don't get it...<BR/>I asked a shrink friend of mine about it, and she said that people feel so vulnerable now days with everything going on, that those words may make some people feel less empowered. Who'd a thunk it?<BR/>Early hates the fact that the small hardware stores are disappearing. He likes them better because they do take the time to explain things as you mentioned. The bigger stores seem understaffed, or maybe it just seems that way & really they just hide when they see us walk in.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15376020.post-1166455971515948802006-12-18T09:32:00.000-06:002006-12-18T09:32:00.000-06:00I friggin hate when someone bumps into you and doe...I friggin hate when someone bumps into you and does not say excuse me.
