Some of what I am talking about are the following: You're going in (or our as the case may be) of a store, and the person in front of you lets the door shut in your face. You're about to make an entrance on to the interstate highway, and there's plenty of room in the outside lane, but no one will move over to allow you entrance. You spend time and money shopping for a nice gift for a birthday (or whatever), and the person doesn't even say "thank you." OR - you give a gift at a wedding or shower, and the person it is for, doesn't even send a thank you card. And ther are so many kids today that you can tell by their actions and words, that are not being taught any courtsey within the home. Are you seeing these things too?

I find that more and more people have lost the art of sending thank you cards. When I receive a gift, I think it is necessary to send a short note of appreciation. I think that modern society has not placed enough emphasis on a simple thank you. What are your thoughts?

If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. [em]thumbup[/em] How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! It is FREE and it only takes a second. [em]wub[/em] Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? This takes just 10 seconds and it's a wonderful way to say thank you. Please take the time to send to our troops and then please take the time to pass it on for others to do. We can never say enough thank you's. Thanks for taking to time to support our military!

It was the lady I helped out weeks ago. This lady had a bit of a car accident at her home and ran the car into a block of units. At the time, I was sitting on my computer thinking, "what is going on?" I raced outside to see that a lady in her crashed car calling out. So I raced into the house, grabbed my keys and raced out locking my front door. In all this time, I was the first one to get to her. I would have had to run at least 50 metres to get to her. Today, as I said, she knocked on my door to thank me for getting over to her first. She said that she couldn't believe that her neighbours only metres away didn't go to her assistance and it was some one across the road that came to her. She have me a thank you card and with a lottery pack inside to say thank you. I feel so happy that I had made a small difference in her life. I would like to hear more stories where it wasn't much but some one thought a lot about it.

Well of course we do.... We get quite a lot of gifts in our house so it depends who they are from. If its very close family then the children write (well copy waht I write for them as they hate writing thank you letters) short thank you letters from themselfs. Other gifts that come then I normally write the letter but I get everybody to sign there name and do some kisses/smiley face etc. If not they would be there all day. Sometimes I get hubby to make thank you cards of the pc so the children's photo is on the front of the thank you card. Its a chore but its one that just has to be done and it is impolite not to send a thank you letter. We do also say thank you on the phone and in person but we don't always get to see everyone over christmas so letters have to be written. What do you my fellow mylotters do? Mon, 01 Dec 2008 04:17:23 GMT Anne18 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1736204.aspx I bought a book on eBay about a month ago. The seller notified me within a few days of ordering it that the book would be delayed because they just realized it was actually out of stock in their store. I told them that that was fine because even though it was a present for a friend, I'm never on time with gift giving anyway. Plus, I knew my friend would be super happy that I got this book. The book ended up being out of print. So the seller paid more money than I bought the book from them for, to buy it from another seller on a different website. I was overjoyed to be able to get the book and immediately gave them positive feedback. Then even after they already had secured the positive feedback, they sent a nice thank you card to me for being so patient about their mistake. Now that's what I call a nice eBay seller! Anyone else want to share their wonderful seller stories? And by the way, I am definitely buying my books from this seller in the future. :) Tue, 07 Oct 2008 01:44:07 GMT Pigglies http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1693585.aspx I recently was married and am in the process of writing out thank you cards for the many cards, gifts and well wishes that we received from our wedding. I have searched the internet and was wondering do you send anything to those people who either dropped out just before or on the day of the wedding, I think this would be improper but I have had other people say we should send something just because we invited them and they couldn't show. These people didn't send us a card, or well wishes or anything is it proper to still send them a picture or a card? What would you write in the card in this case? My idea is no unless a card or something was received. I did prepare a thank you card for those who sent a card of well wishes, and cards. I am sending pictures to those who sent a gift of some sort whether it was gift. What's your opinion? Tue, 09 Sep 2008 14:30:55 GMT teetee195 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1329105.aspx Okay, so some people did not have very nice things to say about me. Let me clarify myself. I agree very much that if a person takes the time and money to make or buy you a gift, you should DEFINITELY let them know how grateful you are, even if it is a verbal gesture. I am not saying that I do not appreciate gifts from people at all. I make sure to let them know how appreciative I am in person when I receive the gift. I even mention things to them after the fact. For instance, I will tell them how much my daughter plays and likes the toy they buy. I do not think that writing Thank you cards is a bad thing. However, I don't think that people should feel like they "Have to" write thank you cards. For instance, my friend shared that a group of women threw her a baby shower. Not too long after that, one woman made a comment about when she was going to get her thank you card, or something pertaining to that. That is where my ranting comes from. The poor girl was working full time while pregnant, plus getting ready for a baby. Just because she had not written her cards not too long after the baby shower. So, please do not think I am rude. I am anything but... Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:00:01 GMT Songbird425 http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1636959.aspx Some of Barack Obama's supported here at My lots may not have much longer to wait, conservative news this morning reports Obama's 845 billion dollar global poverty act may soon be passed. I hope the Barack Obama supporters don't waste my time telling me how hard up the people in their town are,going with out food to buy their medications,can't run their air conditioners cause they can't pay their electric bill,freeze to death in the winter can't afford the heating bill, many of these same people clamor for their king Barack Obama. Not many American's actually know the dirty dealings Barack Obama is dealing to the American people,because there either to busy,to stressed,to tired, will not listen to the voters that have make it their business to know, or they listen to liberal slanted media that dam sure don't want then to know. I can certainly understand why Nancy Pelosi and the her liberal gang is against republican Mike Pence's bill,*Quoting Polosi* it is against the democrat agenda,she at least has that right. Obama supporters gather up your pennies to buy your king a thank you card for sticking it to you and every American against his agenda for American really good. Us that are not into dictatorship,socialism,higher tax's,transfer of wealthy,universal health care, can only hope that some one is going to block Barack Obama 845 billion dollar global poverty bill which is to rebuild third world countries infrastructures while ours goes to hell in a hand basket. Dose any one know who is trying to block this rip off of the American people?

Of course it should not be monetary and in a form of a gift. Let me see how creative you are, let me know your thoughts?
