'danberose', maybe the word 'owe' was the incorrect term to use. My vocabulary is limited, mostly to words like ain't, y'all, this'n, and such. Maybe 'courtesy' would be more appropriate, frankly I'm afraid of misspelling words over 4 letters. But being from the South, there's some of us that are still big on that kind of stuff. If someone does something for me and I appreciate it I say 'thank you'. LOL, a young girl, probably 12 or 13, held the door for me the other day at our local burger joint. I felt kind of awkward going thru it given that I was brought up to hold the door for women and old folks. But as awkward as I felt, I'd have been a total 'sum'b*tch' if I had not said 'thank you', and as prim and proper as the young girl appeared, she probably would have been thinking, 'you ungrateful old bastard' if I had not. I'm thankful people are still being taught those manners. Even though the internet has allowed us to live our lives in secret I try to treat it as I would IRL.
