Thank you notes, etc. sm

In Reply to: is it uncool to say thank you - behind in times vent.
I am experiencing this so much more now than ever before (not that it hasn't happened before). I think manners have fallen by the wayside. Also, I find that the more I have (from working my gluteus maximus off) the less thanks I get. It is almost as if they are saying they "deserve it." The have-nots in the world - make me sick - if you give of yourself, your time, effort, money, no matter what, it is imperative that you be thanked in some way. I don't even get a verbal thank you anymore, and that's a year or two after I finally see the person who got married, had a baby, etc. I have even asked them if they liked their gift and they shrug their shoulders as if to indicate no big deal. I am totally sick of today's lack of manners. Phew - thought I was the only one!!

thank you notes
I think the couple meant well and that was their form of a thank you note.
With the advent of e-mail, text messaging, et al, the art of correspondence and perfect penmanship has just about become extinct.
I still send postcards, thank you, special occasion cards and recipes snail mail....Hey, most of the things ya get in the mail are bills! Why not bring a smile to someone's face with a surprise handwritten note or a postcard from the edge.... Cat 
Well then, I say we go for it, and compare notes later... heh heh

From my notes at the meeting.
in America. Category 6 is 4% or 4 million people dead. We have a stock pile of Tamiflu/Relenza which is about 50 million. I may seem like a lot, but, how many people live in the United States? By the way, the people who are sick get Tamiflu first and then government people and all their families, then second group are doctors, pharmacists, health care workers and their families and so on.

How rude. I always get thank you notes for baby and
Maybe its where you live or something. Old customs are dying and I think it is sad. Like when someone passes away, we always take food to the family. The last time we did this, my daughter noticed there was no other food there. It was sad, because food is the laset thing you want to have to worry about or plan when you have a house full of people and a funeral to plan and attend. Sorry, got of the subject there!
I'm a NYC girl and always write TY notes
However, I now live in Florida and I must say JUST ABOUT NOBODY HERE sends a thank you note. Though, I did send a gift to Queens NY and never got a thank you note from the wife.....a shy passive Jackson Heights lady who married a friend of mine - I sent a lovely gift and never got thanked by her. And they live in Long Island.
So, I think it is not just NYers/northerners - I think this problem is rampant. Oh, and my Hispanic friends also don't send ty notes nor do their kids (Florida residents). Nor do in-law relatives from Europe.
I still don't get it....
No need to compare notes, she is just awful to buy for so
I told her several times to send me a list with no response. I just decided toheck with it and then finally heard from her. I told her NO problem, no list, coal and switches and I really meant mine!
for now, keep quiet, observe, take notes.

this is why you should keep quiet, observe, take notes....

Or...take notes from Dwight from "The Office" (sm)
Dwight Schrute: Yes, I have decided to shun Andy Bernard for the next three years... which I'm looking forward to. It's an Amish technique; it's like slapping someone with silence.
Dwight Schrute: I was shunned from the age of 4 until my 6th birthday, for not saving the excess oil from a can of tuna.
SHUN THE OFFENDER!
Christmas! Op notes or discharge summaries?? LOL
