Wow Eric! Like I say, I hope I grow out as well as you have. You look like someone who is easy to talk with. I bet your grandchildren adore you.
AllVol, when I read the response on the other thread, I felt irritated by the guy's comment, but bit my lip before shooting off my mouth.
Harvey, when I think about it, yes, I really must agree. It seems our culture is deep in decay; total emphasis on the individual rather than the society. Those of us with manners or compassion seem to have a tougher time each year. When I look at what some of these (university?) students ask for it reminds me just how rough our society has become.
I also get really annoyed when some young pup reminds everybody they can bilk the semiconductor manufacturers out of 'free samples.' Some of them are criminals who fraudulently obtain samples then sell them on E-Bay!
I guess I'm getting old, and not as gracefully as I would like.
