I am proud to say that yesterday I took my mother to the dr.  As we were leaving with her on her walker, a young man (teen ager) who was in the waiting room jumped up and held the door to let us out.  I am glad to report that there is still some raising going on.

I was raised. I quite often say sorry to a person that as barged past me, making them realize that the have no manners.  Or you are welcome when I have allowed them to pass and they have not said thank you.  Funny but it seems to be the older generation the have forgotten their manners more.

I was raised, my two kids were raised, and my two grandsons will also be raised I can assure you. I also agree entirely with Marg. It Costs nothing to be pleasant and polite.

Rob...you just hit a phrase that I heard from my father from the time I could understand what he was saying and still use it myself constantly...
It would make a good sign for every schoolroom in the world!

"It doesn't cost you a penny to be nice to everyone!"
