Barbara- no, nothing will change. The older I get the more I realize that middle management likes to keep tons of people slacking off at their job and a few people with brain cells to pick up the slack for a reason- the idiots slacking aren't a threat and those with brain cells are too busy picking up the slack to concern themselves with trying to climb the ladder.

No, what I meant was that in an age where there are other means, there isn't really a need for Thank You notes for a CHILD's birthday present. It wasn't an engagement gift, or a wedding gift, or even a graduation gift. It was a gift for a 6 year old, who would probably be in the first grade and BARELY able to write , let alone construct a thank ... Read Moreyou note. i think it's perfectly acceptable behavior for the child to call grandma. I didn't say that the child should not have thanked his/her grandmother, of course they should thank someone for giving them a gift.

You are entitled to your opinion,and so am I and I wont respond to personal flaming. I wasn't directing my response to anyone in particular, I was just expressing MY opinion in kind. Thanks!

Anyway, my point was grandma isn't teaching that child anything except that when your upset it's ok to be mean-hearted and rude. Again, IMHO.

The ones that I get from the serviceman that have stolen Sadam's money and will give me half if i'll just pay $500 to pay for shipping. I mean, I get 25 of these things a day, they are driving me nuts, how do I get on these list ? Or better yet, how do I get off of these list ? I've got one right now, i've been talking to this woman who is "dying" that wants to give me 52 million, if i'll just pay the $450 dollars to get the paperwork done, well if she has 52 million dollars, why doesn't she pay for the paperwork ?

Passive-Aggressive Notes Writes Lara in San Diego: My grandmother threw me an extremely formal bridal shower (although I am anything but formal) a few weeks before my wedding. Despite my protests, my grandmother insisted that I open each gift and read each card aloud.

When I (finally) got to my friend Colleen's card, I almost died of happiness. I looked my grandmother dead in the eye and read it, as everyone over age 60 gasped.
